Yes, thank you By-Tor for the fun site and atmosphere!
ElfDude, that's tough, my brother is a bit autistic and he plugs into the computer to find his escape and sometimes he can be just like that. He is gedding better though and has improved greatly over the past few months. Thankfully he is not like that all the time, I would lose my mind!

I'm sorry you lost your wife to addiction

The computer is a great thing to be able to ged on, I just make sure to leave myself mentally available for other things!
Spuds, our experiences really do define us as individuals. While all of us go through troublesome things at one time or another I don't think I would change any of it, I survived it. If I took all of the conflict out of my life then I would be a completely different person! You're also right that nothing is easy, there is a quote that goes "If every day were a holiday then even that would be trying", or something to that extent. Life is just hard!
I remember watching in amazement as Geddy sang, played bass, and played the keyboards with his feet. I thought, "Who is this guy???"
