----<<<<<< Ya know, I've never given the show/movies a chance! Guess I still have much to look forward to and set goals about, huh? ;- )
Sci fi is one of those genres that I don't necessarily feel in the mood for, but if exposed through someone else's choice or insistence, I often find myself enjoying. So I do think I might like Star Trek -- at this point, even the nostalgic feeling of turning on an old show (like classic black & white Twilight Zone) can be neat. Although the times in my life when many of them were originally running (or rerunning, but to me at that age, a first) weren't good, so I don't know what's up with that! Maybe it's the relative simpleness in view of the lack of just one unavoidable, subsequent development -- being responsible for your own destiny!
Anyway, may give ST a shot next time I see it or one of the movies listed. I sure do LOVE Third Rock from the Sun (not similar, of course)!! If John Lithgow ever wants me, I'm his! I assume so much about the kind of personality and spirit he must have, although I guess I could surf for some dish. Not much into dish tho! But, maybe in preparation for my first date with John! :- )

> Oh no, I don't mean to encourage you to spend more time at the computer. You're right. If you're spending so much time online that it's interfering with your real life, then that's too much time. So as wonderful as Babble is and as helpful as it can be with the issues you are telling us you have, maybe a *good* and ethical real life therapist could be of some help to you as well. Or a real life support group.---
<<<<< All true (so maybe it's a good thing if I'm a PB See 'n Skip!). Oh, and I posted a response on Psych, about the possibility of setting up either a PB group or one's own independent, customized, casual support group (not what you mean above tho probably). I thought the concept would generate a fair amount of interest -- amongst some anyway, I know it's a loaded thought overall. But I guess not! Maybe I should have put it on Social or Admin, but there's enough overlap to where if it held appeal, it would be taken up (maybe as unrelated to PB even, just a general 'training wheels' socialization idea for people in their own towns. I may sneak it in as its own thread someday, unless I shouldn't). Oh well! But yes, I need to reconnect and make a plan..Thanks for chatting! : )
