That's why we have the message board, guys. It's here to support us in our addiction. We can share symtoms and treatments. Mine has a slight violent manifestation - when I read about people going and I'm not, I tend to yell I HATE YOU really loudly at the screen! Especially when it's freakin' -30 here at home! But I'm learning to deal with it. Appleton helps; eating a mango helps, but Appleton is better, really. It takes the edge off! Webcasts are good, too, particularly if coupled with a chat and Appleton!!!

We are all in the same boat - or maybe mentally on the same island in our minds. It's not such a bad thing. I mean, it could be worse. Everyone has their cross to bear, and this is ours. Wow.

And I'm gonna put myself out there for all of you. If you ever just have to go, and are afraid, just buy me a ticket (one way would work!) and I will go there and be there with you! I know. It's the ultimate giving and sacrifice, but I'd do it for my friends ...... it's just who I am!

So many people; one addiction! It's something in the sand or the palm trees. Or maybe something in the water.

One love!
