I guess I don't understand, it seems like a family reunion here, but there are very few members,what am I missing?

Is that actually what a potluck is? And I was going to make salads...

Welcome to the new and improved Help! Feel free to pull up a beanbag, grab a beverage and get comfy.

On Thursdays, we have a potluck.

Bloody Mary time.

I've got rum and coke!

does anyone know anything about boilers?

Oh no no. I'm not from the states. I'm in Australia. Lol. So then perhaps it is the same thing!

My gas heater heats my water, and also helps to spark my heater (in replacement of a fireplace) and my stove runs on gas.

Boilers are a thing outside of American horror movies?!

I have a gas heater...is that the same thing as a boiler outside of Australia?

LOL, why do I always shout at myself!

I think I've said it before already, but there are some things I can do without coming back here. Mainly trolls and about two members whom I will not name. But it is unlikely that they will even find the means to discover us...

In the last days before everything blew up, there was a lot of drama and tension. I don't wish to see that here again. Actually, when I was told about this "revival" as it were, I was actually scared to participate because of the memories of all of that. It caused me a lot of grief just by being a gullible victim. :(However, I can also recall that I have said that I don't regret putting those fears aside.

I've grown a bit since then, and I can stand up for myself a little better.

At least it gets a few giggles! Lol.

This may just be the mushiness in me talking, but I don't believe I have fully expressed enough how happy it is to see the site back. I can forget the bad stuff, but it feels so much better to have a place to come to again when I'm in trouble. Facebook just makes me worry that all my friends are wishing I'd shut up when I feel the need to vent of get angry at my confusion.

Thank you, Rockster. I don't have the words to say how much this has meant to me (almost like a weird cathartic way of "healing" some old wounds) but it means more than I can say. Thank you.

LOL! I've done the same thing. Apparently old habits never die...

So what has everyone been up to lately?

Oh and im pretty much agoraphobic now.

My heart breaks for you. :( Between 2009 -2013, I was 100% agoraphobic. I barely left my own bedroom, let alone my house. It's a self-made prison.

If you can, please please please seek a counselor and get support before you become completely housebound. I will never get those years back. I lost my fiance during that time, and I couldn't attend his funeral. I had a nephew born and never met him before he died at 20 months. Again, could not attend his funeral.

It is hell and I couldn't wish it on my worst enemy. If you need to talk, vent, anything, please feel free to seek it here, and my shoutbox is always open to listen.

So there is a chance that I might actually be able to join the military!

Years ago, I had contact with a military man who could probably have offered you a solution of some sort. Sadly though, they're no longer with us and as a general pacifist myself, I didn't get to know enough to offer my own suggestion and since his passing, I've generally tried to stay clear of most military stuff because it upsets me.

However, with that being said, I truly hope that you find a way to solve it, and if so, I hope it serves you well.
