Hi Gordon, I am married to Kyle on this list. We have not experienced any real problems. There are some CP/aging issues (he can't do as much as he used to around the house (pain and fatigue--he's only 42) so sometimes that's an issue. We hope to get that resolved, however by buying a smaller home or condo. He's an awesome guy, and there niver was an issue when we were dating. He's smart, fun and we have a great time together, and have a common faith in God (which has got us through some pretty rough times in the last 10 years). I don't have a physical disability, but was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with cancer, so I may end up the more disabled one in the future. Hope this helps, Laura ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon Stewart" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2000 9:07 AM Subject: Re: on the subject of dating > --- Anee Stanford <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > Hi everyone- > > > > I just started really dating this year--at the grand > > old age of 21 LOL.
