Hi Liza, I noticed the same thing and I was one of the last to post so I was trying not to take it too personally :-). I know it's a very busy time of the...
I'm here. Recently I've noticed that I get great anxiety over problems, like large unemployment in my area, or getting a whole new set of colleages at work....
Wow, hi all. So you are here. Yeah, I was going to say, Rob, that if I had posted a letter and then it went dead, I'd obsess about that for a WHILE. Fact...

Hello Phil, My name is Rob and I have a lot of experience in this area. If you become dependent on alcohol for this "enrichment", you'll reach a point where...
