Hi WG,
Wow! A lot of responses, that's very cool! I'm glad you're feeling better about everything. Sometimes all it takes is to just air your feelings about things and they can get better. This is a good group of people and I know they'll be as supportive as they can. But now that you're one of the cool kids, can I still hang out with you? :)
God, it seems like we all have addictions to something, alcohol, drugs, food. One would think that having depression would be enough, don't ya think? Is it true what they say (who are THEY anyway) that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?
I used to spend a lot of time on this and a few other boards, way too much time. So I started limiting my time and the times of day I could visit them and it's worked out real well. I spend some time in the morning (about an hour before I start work) and 1 to 2 hours in the afternoon when I get home from work, and then the computer is used strictly for my home business only. It takes a lot of willpower which I don't have a lot of, but it seems to be working so far.
Well, we know that the Greg that you knew wasn't me...If you saw me at the beach, I wasn't playing volleyball or swimming, I was laying on a towel, under an umbrella most likely doing homework. I did get all A's and B's in high school. Didn't much help me be popular though. You know Greg was about the most popular name for a boy when I was born, but you hardly ever hear of anyone naming ther sons that now. My son's middle name is Gregory. I couldn't stand the thought of him being called Greg Jr. Yuck!
OK, I've rambled enough for one morning. I hope you have a good or at least tolerable day. And again, I'm glad you got lots of responses. Sometimes it just takes awhile to fit in, but I know you'll be fine!
Take care sweetie,
GregP.S. If you ever want to email me, it's gbwhite at attbi dot com.

> Thanks, sweetie. My first major crush's name was Greg. He was beautiful. I was in the swimming pool my freshman year and there he was, with those muscles rippling and the blue eyes twinkling. Isn't it funny how we like (or dislike) certain names because of the memories we associate with them?
