Hi Reverbs, long time no see my friend...also "hello" to everybody! I have been away from the site for almost a year dealing with real life and recently have been lurking and reading.
I just wanted to say that I have no problem with you (Reverbs) talking about my experiences or showing my thread messages from that 'experience'. It was very stressful for me at the time and you helped me put it in perspective (so thank you!).
All I knew at the time, was that every day a different brand new member would address me as if they knew me...and seemed to follow my activity on the boards. It felt stalker-ish and I really couldn't understand the fascination with me. I actually stayed away for a while because I didn't like feeling like the victim of somebody else's mind games.
I hope everyone has been well and I'm glad to see this thread still alive and thriving. When time permits I would like to participate again...I suppose this post is my ice-breaker back into the conversation, lol.
So nice to see you all!
jacy

We all have to hit the bottom sooner or later. Hopefully a little of you rubbed off on her too and she'll figure that out before it's too late.
I'm managing to eat eggs again (yay), so far so good at any rate, so I'm off to make a bakewell tart because that's just what I fancy. Take care

The amount of things I have learned about myself by going back through what I've written is astounding. There is a lot to learn there, especially when enough time has passed that it might as well be a different person.
The times when I look at my own words and go "what the hell are you going on about?!" have lead me to be more diligent in actually conversing rather than using someone else's words to essentially talk to myself. Its really easy to do with technology, and we see it constantly in mediums like ATS. The trouble is that it is substantially easier to recognize it in others than ourselves, but reading what is written in the past gives a very, very similar experience to reading someone else's words.
Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrᵻkɔər/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek πέτρα pétra, meaning "stone", and ἰχώρ īchṓr, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.

I can smell the snow! People think I am nuts. They say, "Weather person says it is going to snow" and I say, "Not today. Doesn't smell right." [strange looks] And yep, no snow that day or night. Walkout the front door the next morning... "today"... sure enough. Also do, [walks outside, inhales through nose] "Smells like snow is coming!"
But that only works on the big storms. Wonder if it is an ozone thing? Anyway, love the strange looks!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn

My favorite lyrics 'let it go, let it go, I'm one with the wind and sky. Let it go, let it go, you'll never see me cry. Here I stand, in the light of day!!....The cold never bothered me anyway
"
That legit made me sob when I first saw it.
