John, good for you.  I related HUGE to that.  I recently separated myself
from a long term girl friend.  I think it's for the best, but change is
difficult.  I also have spent a bit too much, I'm still in school so I won't
be going out very often at all.  Once a month tops.  But the legos keep me
busy and keep me happy.  They really are a life saver.  BTW, I bartend at a
local bar and I see some F'd up people.  They get depressed about not having
enough money or whatever and drink alot, thus spending more money.  It's a
vicious cycle, it's good to see that you saw it before it got you.  I have
one more thing.  There's a guy that comes in every day, we run a tab for him
and he pays it like once a month.  He would be our "Norm", if we were
cheers.  But anyways, he's gotten much worse.  I kid you all not, we made
him pay his tab after 3 weeks instead of 4 now, because it's over 500 bucks.
For 3 weeks, consistently.  And the checks don't bounce so we let it get
that high.  But can you imagine paying that much for what?  Depression?
OOHH OOOH sign me up!  Anyways, that's my tid bit.

Anyway, I thought with Lugnet being slow and people away studying for exams and preparing holiday feasts, that I might share (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people) !!
