Edited, fed up with reading the thing.

I'm playing 'Power Windows' at the moment. I allways play PW in times of need, it's comforting you know?

This may self-destruct if I realise I've made a tit of myself. I have little family and close friends are probably bored rigid with the whole tale. It's the worse case scenario for me. I'm lost.

Darren... that's a heartbreaker man. Please just know and always remember that we're all your friends here. Never be too embarrassed to state how you feel at a particular moment. I know I'm not speaking for myself when I say that were all there with you.

It's difficult to know what to say at times like this. A friend of mine has just had his second marriage break up and I don't really know what to say to him.

Just remember that you've got plenty of friends on the forum.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope the best for you and your family. Let me know if you need someone to talk to.

You're not a tit yet... Have a few more glasses and check back later ;)

Damn, I forgot about this until now.
Awoke with the worst hangover ever, how I ever managed to work today..? I do remember why I dont drink though :-) .

Not usually prone to such candid admissions but I thank you all for your sincere words.
I'm close to deleting this to be honest, I do feel a bit of a tit but hey, that's what friends are for.
I havent live alone since I was 19! What an eventful time I'm going to have.

Ogg, I am so sorry to hear this. Really.

Don't feel like a tit and don't delete the thread. YOu said, "If I cant bare my soul to my virtual 'family' (for these past two years) then who can I lean upon you know?" and that is so right. I know that I have leaned on By-Torians for help and I have been so glad for them. They have been such a comfort to me, and I know that will be true for you too.

So, go ahead, lean on us. We won't turn you away.

*Darren*

You will never know how thankful I am for your kind words.
What a surreal time I'm having right now. It's a blur to be honest with you. I still havent fully come to terms with proceedings and doubt I will for a while. I'm supposed to be viewing rented accomodation over the weekend (more expense), I've enquired if there is a phone line, lol.

Don't mention it D... We're family here. All brothers and sisters joined under one big umbrella to celebrate, laugh,cry, curse...(Until Happy edits them,LOL) together. Best of luck in finding a pad man!

Help me please. I'm close to breaking point :( . What's a man to do in order to preserve one's sanity?

Ogg, buddy, damn it.................... I would rather be kicked in the dick repeatedly for 1000 day's than have to go thru what you got going on.

Gimme a pm any time you feel the need to, my drum brother from another mother.............................. Leon.

Ogg...I don't know what to tell you. We are here to help in anyway we can, listening, offering our shoulders, whatever, but it is hard not being near you. I think what you are enduring has got to be terribly hard and I wish it on no man. Just know we are here and that we care.

I hope I'm not coming across as a pretentious git but believe me...your support is needed, appreciated and most welcome.
I've always believed 'virtual' friendships to have a rather tenuous grip on reality. Foundations laid are easily neglected but, and I mean this from the heart, having been here for two years, this is a home of sorts to me and as valid as any group of friends a Rush fan could wish to have. I Thank You. (and apologise for the convoluted sentence). :-)

Ogg's sanity update: day 4
Emotional wreck but hanging in there. Contemplating loss of internet with new pad. Considering 'dial up' for a time!
