For myself it has given me a place to seek the comfort and wisdom of some very fine people. A resource filled to the brim with positivity when my own sources are greatly diminished. I have reconnected with some very fine friends whom I had left behind from my last incarnation here. And I have gained some very special new friends with whom together I know all the challeneges of life will seem but molehills. A chance to laugh, A chance to share in the tears, Opportunities to learn, and hopefully once in a while to teach.
Thanks everyone you make the darker days have a dawn at times, and the promise of a tommorow doesn't have to seem like a last meal on death's row. I just hope that I have not taken more than I have given but I fear that would be quite impossible, because you guys are truly wonderful. Happy New Year

Stick with it young lady. There are many fine persons of both genders here and you will find what you are looking for to be certain. I would be willing to bet that 90% or more of your disappointments come from those who are not represented in the forums. Those to who effort in such a lofty search is managed by casual flowers and copycat notes email bombed out to hundreds at a time. Try posting regularly in the forums as the personality or the ability to present and receive personal revelations is far greater than a dry email. Happy New Year and better luck next year for sure just keep your chin up or you might miss the One right under your nose.
pubwrite08: People just like me, looking for love in all the wrong places. Seriously it gave me some nice folks to hang out with when I am all by myself.
All good things require patience and a little effort. You are off to a good start then it appears. Friendship is often the blossoming of true Love. Keep your eyes pealed in 09 you just never know.

We all get the scammers. I do believe they are here for the humour content to achieve its directive. They are funny in their own bizarre way. And there will always be those who have nothing better to do than pick on someone else. Just ignore them as they do most of the work of weeding out the wastes of time all on their own. I am pretty sure you already have managed more than a few friends too so congrats on that.

Thanks for picking up my spirits. I guess no matter what site you go on, you are going to find the game players. I just don't like wasting my time with these guys. Some of the forums are interesting and I have put in my two cents. I will try to keep my chin up. Maybe 2009 might be my year.

Nice post. I hope I'm here long enough to be able to share the same sentiments!
CS has given me more than I sought when I first joined. I joined looking for a romantic partnership. What I found instead was even more important.
A place where I am accepted and loved for who I am. Wonderful friends across the US and around the world, many of whom I truly hope to meet some day. The support to cry my tears upon the anniversary of my husband's death. A place to laugh so hard I sometimes almost fall out of my chair. A place to talk about so many things, and to share with others and not feel so alone at the times I did.
I've had to think about things I never did before, and look inside for answers I didn't know I had. I've even had to catch myself in a reality check when I thought I knew how I felt on a subject. I have learned, and taught, listened, and advised. Laughed and cried, and supported others through their hard times, or been ecstatic with them in their joys. And had them do the same for me.
Every moment of it has been wonderful. May it all continue in 2009. I love you guys.
You've said it beautifully, Mark. I came here in December of last year and made some wonderful friends. Those friendships have continued to grow through the year. My friends have been there with me to bring me much laughter, and to virtually dry my tears. You've all taken me through some of the darkest days of mine and my daughters lives the past couple of months. And for that, we are eternally grateful. Our days are beginning to brighten, and as the sun rises, I see my friends. Still there, with a laugh, or a shoulder whenever I need it. I thank you all from the bottom of my soul.
I wish for all of my friends here, the love that you seek, the laughter to see it through, and the tears to occasionally remind you that what you have is far greater than you sometimes think it may be.
To my friends, I raise my glass and wish you all a very wonderful year ahead.
