DD, I have done that writing thing like forever.
I write, and I find that when I go back later and read what I wrote that I take on new thoughts of the situation.
To me it's like having someone to talk to when you have no one to talk to...
But I always feel different later.
The other forum is great and yet it suxs too, I'm just taking what is good for me and leaving the rest.
I wish this place could take off, that would be nice!
Please do throw off here, thats what I do.
I'm still looking forward to more stories about your life and Alaska and Canada and especially photos of the critters!
Anyway, I feel safe here even if lonely.
