Okay... I left the forum to get dressed and do my hair and make-up before posting.

The best reason I can find for becoming reclusive...not leaving the house or answering the door...is that I don't have to wear a bra! I am getting to the point that I would rather take a beating than put on a bra. They pinch, they bite and they grab...oh, wait that's when I go out without one...ooops!

Seriously, I ususally get dressed and made-up everyday even if I'm staying at home. I like doing it just for me not because I have to.

And although there are times that I wish I still had a rambunctious family in the house there are times like yesterday when I got home after a speaking engagement and it was just me and the cat and the couch...heaven.
