Here is the last "Love Verbotomy" for Valentines week. Now I admit the definition sounds a little like marriage. But hey, every marriage is different, and if the Inuit can have 100 different words for snow, we could use a few more for this type of "relationship". Happy Valentines to all! ~ James

Thank you mweinmann. And I "heartily" agree, a little bit of acceptance goes a long way towards making love stronger. ~ James
