What a great topic! I am also alone, apart from my select amount of friends on here.
I also don't talk to anyone about it, because my circle is not that interested actually... At least I don't know of anyone who would know me on here. Please let me know if that is the case though.
But anyway, this site changed my life. I was so lonely in my book reading then...

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
Never mind the goats and the turnips (you can always add those to your "gift list"); just ask her to sign a pre-nup promising that she won't go "spiritual" on you.
It can happen to men too, you know:
