And as a recovering alcoholic (over 13 years) I tend to ramble when I write and I lot of the time I don't make much sense. But you know what? I am who I am, and so are you. From what I've read of you, you seem to be good people. I really hope you don't find the need to change who you are just to "fit in". You'd be doing yourself such a disservice if you did. You're fine just the way you are. There's lots of people here who have an amazing gift for the written word, but there's some (like me) who don't. That's why I don't post much, but I love to read everyone else. And I've made a few of the dearest friends here, like Tina and Shar and Coral and Nikki and so on.....

Hi Greg,
Thanks for being so, uh, sweet! Among other things, I like sweet stuff (sweet genuine people, sweet foods, and sweet deals).I'm feeling better already. Just responding is helping to relieve my despondency.
I admire you for your dedication to stay away from alcohol. If I wasn't addicted to food (I'm bulimic), I know I would be an alcoholic. I binge drink very occasionally, but food seems to be #1.
I feel silly about how dependent I realize I've become on this board. My need for approval always looms in the background of my life.
Thanks, sweetie. My first major crush's name was Greg. He was beautiful. I was in the swimming pool my freshman year and there he was, with those muscles rippling and the blue eyes twinkling. Isn't it funny how we like (or dislike) certain names because of the memories we associate with them?
