I think those same lurking weirdos are sifting through your email and Facebook, but I am known to be paranoid
Anyway, you don't have to share anything you don't want to. While I was lurking, I just read dozens and dozens of stories. That gave me the courage to recognize that it was time to quit and that there is no such thing as "just one". Posting, somehow, keeps me accountable. Like if I were to screw up, I'd better go back and read my own advice. Something like that.
Happy to see you here. Well, not
see you. You know what I mean.
Welcome!
