I spent it in front of the television or here reading ARC and
playing VR games... next time I end up spending it alone Iwon't,
I will be doing some kind of volunteer work at a hospital or some
sort of Homless Dinner thing... Make use of my time instead of
sitting here feeling sorry for myself... I feel ashamed of
that...

It's not the number 30 it's just that it was a milestone so to
speak... and I just wanted to spend it with someone special, but
couldn't... 

>you had to spend Christmas alone? you shoulda hopped a plane...
>I'm sure someone here woulda loved to have had company...

Can't hop a plane if you don't have the money to do so :) As I
said I won't sit at home wallowing in self pity if this happens
again, next time I will give of myself to something or some
people that have a much more worse time of it than I do....

I'm replying to a note about things to do to revive romance.  Sorry
I don't know how to retrieve the original note and comment and all
that stuff....I'll have to find out.

But, I have more to add to the list:

-Not only listen, but understand your partner.
-Trust your partner and don't do anything to lose the trust your partner
 has put into you.
