as I
very gradually become the funny old lady in the purple hat with way too many
nasturtiums in her garden!

Welcome, Mrs. Pollifax--though in her case I think it was geraniums. <g>

(If you don't know the reference, go to your library and look up titles including Mrs. Pollifax. The Unexpected is the first in the series and the best to start with if they have it.)

Anyway, is it WHOM, or WHO, in my post?

In which post, Christine, and where in the post? Do you mean this sentence?

And there were several people who fascinated me whom I wanted to get to know better.....

"Whom" is correct, Christine. You can relax. <g> (It's easier to see why if you drop the "I wanted", and put "to get" in the past: "....whom I got to know better...")

Or did you have another passage in mind?
