i'm the wife of mineralogist
hi Blondie, hi Minimus, thanks for your prompt and very helpful replies. i really appreciate them. A ("wordly") friend which I talked to in the morning also gave me the counsel to build up other friendships. So this is what I really will try to do. After having been pioneer for a very long time and not working it is really a challenge, to use the time and not feeling down when the "truth" was what life meant ot be.
