	Oh my - well, I'm enjoying a close relationship with an SO, but we 
only see each other about twice a week, spend only about one night a
week together, and we are free to date other people although we very
rarely do. So where does that place me? Does having an SO make me
nominally Single? And if so - wouldn't it be a disgrace for the person
who started this whole issue about living alone to only be "nominally
Single" and not *truely* single? Or do I not spend enough time with my
SO to qualify for "nominally Single"? If not, but if I can't be truely
Single (having an SO and all) then maybe there could be a whole new
type of Single for me. Pseudo-Single (sp?) maybe?

;-)
