Hi, Leo!!
Well, welcome to the Feelings thread. You ask a lot of questions I have recently been doing a lot of thinking about. First, of course you can send me money!!! I suspect that there are quite a few people for whom SI is valuable therapy of one sort of another. Someone said it had made them not depressed, and I know a lot of us keep each other company here on dark lonely evenings when our lives aren't that great, and develop friendships that are honest, supportive, affectionate and very real.
But when you send me the $90 you spend on your therapist, I will be giving it directly to the one I need to find, since I sometimes experience all of this as more than a little addicting. In fact, one of the reasons I periodically take breaks from SI is to make sure I don't lose touch with the 3D world. So, like anything, this can be a very good, or a very bad, influence on people and their behavior. I believe it can also be quite over-stimulating, as we are free to fantasize about each other without reality rearing its ugly head. We all seem so clever, attractive and amusing here!!
Very recently, SI has gotten so crowded that I have given up trying to answer every post I get. It takes me about an hour a day to just read the few threads I follow, and A am a very fast reader. I answer the ones that seem to need answering, either because I've got to give my opinion or I'll burst, someone seems really lonely or otherwise in need, a direct question is answered, people are talking about something I actually know something about, or I want to vote one way or another on an issue.
Some of the very best posts I read I don't answer, because they are so complete I don't know what to say. I start to answer, but my response just seems so trite I erase it, after sitting stunned at the keyboard for a little while.
I ALWAYS read everything that is written to me.
Leo, do you want to tell us more about your bubbly feeling self, or that software company you like so much??
Stick around!!
