It's just you.



No, actually, I've heard that from many people.

For me, they can be quite compatible -- as long as we're talking about
HONEST emotion (as opposed to cheap manipulation).
This is where I'm supposed to give examples;  but it's the end of the day,
the end of one HELL of a week (death & despair falling on everyone I know)
(hope you're all doing well), and I'll just let someone else volunteer.
