Trust me, it's ok to have a pity party once in awhile...I am/have been there.  There are many people here who know just where you are, so feel free to vent all you want.  This is a great group to be talking to.

You know, I've thought about it and I can't come up with any reason to give up. Besides, I have too much fun tormenting everybody on here. It must be the Nepro and kahlua.

Hi Lenny,  We are very glad you joined this group.  You are dealing with so many things.  I hope we can be of some help to you.  This is the best place for support and also for venting, ranting, and complaining.  People here understand what you are going through and will do anything they can to help.  Post often and just dump all the bad stuff here!    That is why we are here! :grouphug;

Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

« Reply #20 on: October 17, 2008, 08:20:22 PM »
Welcome to our community, Lenny!  If you read the intro you will see that the founder of this site - Epoman, of blessed memory - intended it exactly for people to be able to rant freely.  In fact, in the early days, it was practically forbidden to sound a cheery note!! (just kidding).  One good thing about ranting and venting here, is that you are completely understood.  Like Olive Garden, here you are family!  :grouphug;
However, the site is not only for ranting.  You will find great information here, and even some fun.  so take advantage of all this site has to offer.  Read as much as you can and post as much as you can.
