| Just typed up a quick one page letter to William and printed it off so I can hand deliver it to his mailbox this afternoon when I pop down across the line to pick up Christmas parcels and some cheap groceries in Canada's Mexico. :P If anyone else from the forums would like to get a letter to William... |

| Never ever ever ever ever EVER give up. Just stop focusing on it or obsessing about it. Leave your dating profiles in place and check them out if/when you get a message. Focus on yourself, health, fitness, and things you like to do - and just do them & be you. You never know, you might meet some... |

| I used to. My twin brother still does. I've reduced my symptoms big time, including my propensity to hold grudges. I've also read quite a few self-help books that have included some great passages about the power of forgiveness. Once you realize that holding a grudge and not forgiving someone ONLY h... |

Go volunteer at your local food bank and sort/pack food hampers for Christmas & weekly grocery pickups.
Or go volunteer at a local homeless shelter/soup kitchen and prep/serve meals for those who need them. |

| Do you take any adhd meds? If so, you could be deficient in magnesium &/or sulphur. The solution for me has been to use an epsom salt lotion on my skin to absorb both. |

For years I used to have one of those really long "body pillows" that I'd kinda hug as I fell asleep. Now I have 4 regular pillows on my bed and the heaviest memory foam one is the one I end up hugging as I fall asleep. Sooo, yeah, I guess I do. Otherwise I hug real people.  |

When I was virtually homeless, I was able to move to a friend's place that was under massive renovations and live there for a year and a half trading my labour helping w/ the renos for a roof over my head. It worked out OK for me. I was very... |

| Kiteboarding or sex. It's a bit of a tossup which is most enjoyable.. but I'd probably pick kiteboarding 9 times out of 10 since it's not as easily obtained due to it's weather & location dependant nature. |
