A2Kers Anonymous

Are you able to make her visits a holiday ritual?
It sounds like the two of you are inseperable.
Im sorry that you are sad about having her farther from your family then you would like.

I saw this.... video phone.. in a store here in texas. It was about 100.00 .
You just plug in the phone line, then put the line into your phone. The little unit sits next to the phone and displays what the camera sees.
You would both need one, but you could put that in your kitchens.. at least be able to talk/see each other.
Far cry from having her there.. but maybe? Something that would sort of patch the hole you have from her being gone?
They dont cost anything for the call, just the inital payment of the unit.

The one thing I love about the holidays.. The people you love the most , you are able to see. :-)

My niece comes up here about once a year. I don't have family here, mine, such as it is, is all back in LA, about a thousand miles away, well, ok, 900. She and I are pretty close, have talkathons when she visits. It's easy for me, as I don't have any need to control her, in a parental way, and she doesn't have any need to escape my eyes (heh, so far). We talk about anything and everything, so she doesn't need to climb out the window to get out, etc.

This year may be different, as she can drive now, and I won't let her drive my car.. for insurance reasons, and I don't drive at night, because of my stupid eyes. On the other hand, there is not so much to do here in this quiet town at night, and she wants to talk to me about stuff and keep up with her LA friends. So my house is sort of a teen recuperation facility....

Hi my name is shewolf and Im an addict.

I know im an addict.
I cant stop
my defining moment in my life passed me by and I a now depressed.
I just became a veteran memeber and I missed it.
Like watching you rnew car rool over its first 1,000 miles, 5000 miles or 10,000.. for some reason being able to watch it happen is fullfilling.
I didnt get to watch my 'mileage' rool over.
Can someone fix it so I can watch it?
rewind?

Can you belive it, just when I was thinking how I was checking this site everytime I had a break and maybe I was doing it way overboard, I stumble upon this thread? funny where fate can take you.

Well, hello, I'm pragmatic and I'm an addict - 100%. I can't help it. the people are nice, funny kind and original, smart and intelligent. Those who I can't meet at Uni, I meet around the world and australia instead.

I don't need help, I need more.

Hello, my name is Ellpus, and I am not an addict.

I just feel a compulsion to poke my nose into various threads, at any time of the day or night, to give the members the benefit of my immense wisdom, and put some sense and order back into their lives.

mmmm....m.m.mmmm....more a2k.

*twitch*

j...jj.just one m..mmmmm..more p.p...post.

Denial isnt just a river anymore Lord..

That's for sure. -grins-

And now I've seen this thread go to 20-some pages, I'm wondering if signing up is a good thing...

\

yep

You are doing pretty good 41 posts so far in a day or 2!!!

More and more fodder for the argument that signing up was a mistake.

don't run away now

Of course not.

But even addicts need a break now and then.

Um, my name is Chai Tea and I'm not an A2K addict or anything. I just have to come here to get my note signed.

I don't see anything wrong with checking for new posts every 10 minutes, a lot of posters do that and they're just fine.
If I didn't feel like posting I just wouldn't, I wouldn't have a problem or anything.

Um, hey, you. I know you're not running this thread, but could you sign my note so I can go?

Maybe I'll come back later to see if any cute guys show up.

Chai Tea - hmm - we are listening - please share more............ all ears are open

Just to show you REAL addicts....
