Hehe, they will soon learn how threads evolve on this list :))) .

You were thinner on that picture, and more dark-haired (with shorter hair).

Well, you're still not at my level I'm sure :))) .

OK, fair enough, and funny at the same time :)) . I have had quite a few
people in the last years confusing me with people they know. I guess I must
have this kind of face :)) .

I hope so too. Last visit to the hospital yesterday was hopeful: they
didn't find anything else and attribute all his symptoms to the infection
he got. Now we just have to be patient, as at this stage we won't know if
his injections were successful before six weeks, and even after that it
will take at least six months for him to fully recover...

LOL. In my case, whoever cooks, I have to clean up (it's an agreement we
had: he does most of the housekeeping, so I do the dishes and the
cleaning-up after dinner :) ). Currently, I'm the cook, but that's only
because he is not in state to cook (not that I don't like to cook, but I'm
not too good at cooking... :) ).
