Is it that Joanne, or is it the fact that Jan has finally come to grip
with something the AB person doesn't like to admit?  I've treated AB
females as I wanted to be treated, with kindness, acceptance and
compassion, yet where did it get me? Nowhere on the marriage counter.
Meanwhile, "Mr. Jerk AB" is romancing females left and right.  Also, I
have a theory, the younger the women are, the less likely they are to
want to date MWD. The older they are the more likely they are to look
past the disability...
