Hey @lillib

I feel like I am addicted to this forum. Since my first day, I have been reading and posting every day. I never really did that with FB. I mean, maybe at one point in my life I was on FB a lot.

Not sure if posting and reading here is addictive, but it is helping me daily with adjusting with an out-of-state move all by myself. Perhaps I am just lonely right now and do not have many real life things to do at the moment.
