Thanks, Oblio. I have to work at the level-headed part. Most of the time I feel like a big clueless kid.

When you said, "around here," are you looking for a mom? Or a lady?

If it's the latter, just keep your eyes out. She'll turn up when the time is right. Look for someone who makes (or made) good grades, minds her manners, hasn't been promiscuous, and has steady parents. Don't make the choice based on surface stuff.

That certainly sounded like what a mom would say, didn't it??
