i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Don't you just hate being told what to do by "know it alls", lol. @TAB Especially ones that have never suffered with anxiety, depression etc. Grr! That's why I keep to myself alot, no understanding.
I still believe that the day will come when I will feel up to getting out and about and make new friends. For now, I'll stay by myself, it's easier. I have friends, but I keep them at a distance, because it's too hurtful, they don't understand that I don't cope as well as others. Most people think I should push myself more, been there done that. Have to do what I think is right for myself.
Boy, I'm raving on tonight. Please don't feel obligated to reply, it's ok.
