...I'd like to offer my thanks.  

First to the LoveGoddess for her advice.  While it was only advice, it is good to know there is someone out there who clearly understands my "problems" as there are few, if any, people in my real life I could turn to for this type of advice.  

Second, I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions to the most asked threads, the ones that always seem to revolve around the "falling for a provider" question.  I went through this once before and when it ended, I vowed I'd never let my heart get involved again.  But we can't control these things.  And sure enough, it's happened to me again.  I truly care for this woman and where it will go, if anywhere, I don't know.  I guess it's just good to know that there are others out there as emotionally tormented as I am.  

Happy Holidays and all the best in the new year.
