Marc’s eyesight is going downhill fast, so fast in fact that he can no longer participate here at Incurable Romantic. We’ve been kicking around a couple of possibilities, such as dictation, podcasts and video. I hope we figure out something soon - he’s sooooooooo bored! He is coping pretty well though: Eyes on the goal and all that (sorry), because at the end of it, he should be seeing better than he has in 37 years.

We’re going through a lot of other stuff right now too:

An eviction notice for $29. An audit investigation with the Provincial government when we’ve always dealt honestly with them. Plus the investigator is threatening us with cutting off of disability benefits, but won’t tell us why. Right now that’s our only source of income. I know they’re trained to be suspicious and they see the worst of people, but when they start asking questions about things the government already knew about, that saved them money, like you were ripping them off, it gets frustrating.

We’re also starting to question what we’re doing here to a certain degree. We’re not terribly sure we’re really helping that many people. We feel like we’re just shouting into the wind most of the time. We see where people are looking, and we feel pretty discouraged: It’s all the “filler” stuff. What we’re trying to do is give people something other than pablum; something that could actually help, because we think people in relationships need “real food”. That people, OMG!, aren’t stupid and can handle more than what’s pushed by those “experts” out there. Who, by the way, make a lot of money feeding everybody pap because they don’t think you’re smart enough, thoughtful enough, or tough enough to hear the truth. We’re servin’ up steak here people!!

Many people assume that if you’re doing something like this, you can do it indefinitely. From our side, we’re figuratively talking ourselves hoarse to a select few. Nobody can keep that up forever when the message is needed by so many more. It’s rather like, “What’s the point? Nobody’s really listening anyway.”. We are people who won’t just follow the money, in the case of relationship information - kissing tips and the like - because we honestly believe life is too short for that. And people too valuable. Relationships are sacred to us and there is so much pain in many of them that can be healed when REAL information is given.

If we have helped you, tell someone about us. Better yet, tell a lot of someones - PLEASE! If you don’t know a lot of people, let US know. If we know that this blog is worthwhile to others, then we have a reason to keep going. Please don’t assume the next person is going to do it; that will just ensure we won’t have a reason, because then nobody will be doing anything. This is up to you!

For those of you who’ve been there letting us know up until now - THANK-YOU!!! If you’ve told others about us - THANK-YOU!!!

Wish us luck! We’re honestly not sure what we’re going to do at this point, beyond getting through each day one step at a time, but for now we’ll keep on keepin’ on.

Dawne

OXO To all of you.
