Good Afternoon,

To all my friends here, I have not been kidnapped by a wild tribe of Amazons( yet, but I am still holding out hope). I have fallen victim to a different fate. I am working!!! I have quit waiting for for the government to come and rescue me, (like they promised before the election) and went out and got a job. I am taking responsibility for myself. I realize this is a radical plan in today's Nanny State mentality, but I am doing it. This results in a lot less time to sit at home and enjoy this site. I have been on in short intervals this week, but I have spent more time thinking about here than being here. I came to a few conclusions:

1. I  am probably quite gulible. The cold hard truth is that I may be the only person here that is from planet earth. You could all be from another planet. I have no way to prove any of you are real!!

2. I really don't care. What ever planet you are from, you were a Godsend to me. I would not be 107 days smoke free/ninotine free with out you. So, if you are here from another planet to make me quit so you can have the tobacco, you won! Go ahead and take my share.

3. If indeed you came from another world, you did your homework well! You have impersonated the most loving, caring and sharing group of people ever assembled in one place. I am proud of my association with you! But you did more. You created a place where all of the emotions, and twist and turns of everyday life exist. On any given day at this site you can find the entire gamunt of emotion. You can find pain and suffering, you can find the loss of a loved one. You can find abuse, You can find trauma. You can find mis-understanding, anger and rage. But you can also find comfort and peace. You can find support. You can find those who put out the fires of anger and distrust. You can find celebration!!! You can find happiness. You can find not only giddiness but also the cure for it!!! What you find most of all is someone who has been there and done that. They will listen to you ramble and then steer you back on course. They will tell you the things that you need to know, even if you don't want to know them. There are thing to learn! It may take time to realize their importance, but you gotta learn them!

4. What ever world you exer's are from, it is the kind of place I want to live in!!!   Tommy
