But you meet the nicest people. When I checked in for last year's exam
the receptionist led me to an exam room which sort of surprised me

I get along well with my ex on the phone. She's about 2000 miles away and

Horses for courses! My brother and his partner went their separate ways and it has led to a complete change in his political ideas. With her, he was annoyingly woke, and without her, all of a sudden he has turned conservative with a pinch or two of racism. Very strange.
