Ter'e,

One day I will come to America, and just give you a hug for being my Good reads buddy, and my loyal member and our favourite gran, mum, aunt and friend and supporter to many here.

We have many great buddy friends here.

I know I have three great ladies here in

Ter'e, Christine and Lavada.

All of the members here look up to you great ladies and to all our girls and boys here we thank you.

(I loosely call myself one of the boys at 56 years old!)(I mean young)

[Sean, Moderator]

I would also like to thank my oldest(not in years) but in time as a member here thank Irene.

My longest serving active member.

Thanks Irene.

Thanks to All my active members.

Thank you, Sean. You touched me. When you come to America, you will have to come see me too! Maybe we can all meet at Ter'e's place!!

Am I a heart breaker? Do I cause pain in others that makes them hate me, but still want to be around me? I feel like I'm a demon. There's a dark force inside of me that is gaining control. It's gaining control of my life: physical, emotional, social, internet, the whole nine yards. The tears that are coming, the guys that have a crush on me, the way everyone views me. Is there any way to know everything? Will I ever find out where I stand in everyone's lives? Am I causing some sort of harm by saying 'hi' to someone? How can I escape from a past that made me the way I am today? The anger I feel, the pain that courses through my body everyday, the guilt. Everyone seems to think I'm some happy person that has a few problems every now and then. It's not true. I face daily problems. The choices I have to make will hurt someone. It's inevitable. How can I explain to everyone that I don't want to hurt them, when no one wants me to say 'Good-bye?' I tried leaving once. It didn't work. Enough people got through to me and convinced me to stay. Will I someday just disappear completely and take all the pain with me? Will people stop suffering on my behalf? Is there some way to make it to where everyone is safe and happy? People may not see me as a threat, but no one knows me, including my own family. No one knows what haunts me. No one knows everything that makes me cry at night. No one knows every single fear of mine. The more people I talk to and the more I talk, causes damage; damage that is irreparable. No, this isn't a good-bye, it's just the truth. The truth that I want everyone to see and know.

I'm a day late but I'm hugging also. You never know what you are going to come across on this particular thread Diane but don't hesitate to jump in. I think we all find we experience alot of the same things here and we do support and care for one another.

[Ter'e]

I rec'd a message from Tif. She's ok --- but got caught using the school computer for things other than school. Her usage is slim and nil now.

[Lavada]

thanks Ter'e. I was really getting worried.

[Ter'e]

Hey guys.... Just got to ask the question, I know we all love books, but is anybody like me and spends just TOO much money on books??? I got paid last week and have spent £40+ on my Nook already...ooooooppppssss!

I have this problem where my finger just moves on it's own and presses 'download' then 'confirm' .....

Can't seem to stop it....anybody else suffer from this condition??! Lol

Definitely, there's always something new to tempt me and I'm spoilt for choice as to what to read next. I don't think I'll get through all my books if I live to a 100. :)

[Ter'e]

I try to be good. really I do. But then.......my brain goes into overdrive.......and I remember "one more book I have to have".
Today it was book 3 in the Chelsea Cain series. I already have #4.

Kimberley, if that's about the average you spend in a month, it's worth exploring Kindle Unlimited.

that's a subscription service where for a monthly fee you can read unlimited number of books.

it of course requires a Kindle.
