I stay away from CS for increasingly longer periods but whenever I feel really low I log in. It's not what I want to do and I don't understand it at all!

I start by reading the latest threads and say to myself, this is just a visit don't participate, but it's so difficult not to. Everybody seems like old friends even though I don't really know anybody well on CS and have criticised the whole online dating thing in the past.

To everybody who has downloaded new photos during the past couple of months I have been absent, they are great! Especially Cat's!

I know the feeling.

For me... I know when I was at a critical point, The strong, real, pure people here were a great touchstone, and still are.
Connections made are felt, even when we haven't met in person, yet...

I don't call it online dating, lol. There are no dates locally. Mettings, sure. Visits from lovely human being, you bet!
Feelings are reality, too. Just reasoning among them that gets foggy soometmes, hehehe.

And, cat's new pic is shining!=o)

Sometimes I wish I could stay away for long periods of
time. Just can't seem to do it. What I'm trying to say
is no matter how often your on friends are made and
cared for. Real friends support and love you always.
But most importantly when your at that low point they
come to you with understanding and compassion to help
lift you up again.thumbs up wink

We are social creature by nature and all long to belong. Friendships are like gold rear, cherished and a beautiful thing no mater where it comes from. Communities are becoming extinct here in America and this online community of liked minded people is a welcoming place for me.

As for you, I personally miss your input and involvement in the forums when you are absent. You bring a since of reality to this cyber place as well as commonsense and a wonderful way with the written word.

I for one am happy you are here.grin

Dear Amiga...we have missed you and I'm glad to see you around. It makes perfect sense. When we need to be lifted...we go to those who we KNOW will provide it. What sense would it make for you to be low and come on here? You know it will fill the part that makes you laugh...and happy.

Thanks for reminding me to get some new pics up.

Stop holding yourself back from participation, it may be all great therapy for the blue periods.

And Jan, it is nice to see you here again.

I think Cat has a wonderful, warm and beautiful smile but of course being male and she is female I find myself having ulterior motives, lol. I am addicted to CS plain and simple. I have so many friends here. I collect friends. I am not sure how many I have bagged now, lol. I love collecting people and things. Sometimes it is good to dust off a friend and see how they are doing.
