*nods* I agree with you her_Joe, we probably all have contracts in one form or another. I just never thought about verbal agreements when someone brought up contracts.
I still don't know what to think of contracts. The standard ones on the web make me laugh and the term 'contract' is loaded with negative connotations for me. On the other hand, I can see where they might become very special when worked out and negotiated between two people, and become a reference point to revisit from time to time, even something like a source of strength.
But still...something about a written contract strikes a weird chord with me and I can't really point my finger on why that is the case. *shrugs* I don't know.
