thank you,

will read up on this necessity.

though am wondering which you were referring to
when you wrote

"totally agree."

:-)

am i a dummy about having her move in,
i live on a tiny island in the mediterranean,
she is coming from new york city,

(it has been a while since my last live -in)

or, am i a dummy about setting up separate access...
my former girlfriend used to snoop,
and she when discovered her doing so,
i broke up with her.
