This is the internet. This is an online community. We all agree on that, surely?

This site is a mental health forum which offers a venue for support from and to posters who suffer with a various hodgepodge of maladies.....and most of the time it works pretty well for that.

People come and people go. I try to pretty much take the posters at their word and assume that they are here for the same reasons that I'm here. Occasionally, as we all know, a rat might sneak in between the cracks, as in my own home, and nibble around on "my"cheese.......I may call out the cats and the rat "reforms" or leaves of it's own volition or is kicked to the curb......that works well also.

BUT, i don't have any "control" over who really is on that keyboard,in this forum, in another country or state, so sometimes the fear of the unknown takes over and upheaval shows up in lots of different forms. And it is going to work that way til the cows come home.

I, personally, am going to keep on trucking, without any brakes , and give everyone the benefit of a doubt. I've been thinking about this a lot and as much as I hate to "be out of control in my life"......the forums are going to be a "live and let live" home for me.....a few rats may get it but i've got four cats. and even though my dear Amsu is a bit absent-minded (he's 19), he can still swing a pretty good right clawed hook.....(ask Fayedy)

The main statement I'm making is that I cannot control everything that goes on around me( and how tiring it is to try to control all) and unless that rat gets all of my cheese........LIVE AND LET LIVE TO HIM/HER........
