    Thanks for the support need. I still have my wits about me when it comes to NOT saying things that would get me fired... lol

    My ear is fine. Better as it will get.;) I am doing my yoga everyday, I am so happy for that! I am working on the goals, but it is more complicated that I want to get into. The kids are fine and they are helping, they still act sometimes like they shouldn't even have to clean their room, but for the most part we get past that and all in all they make out with allowance every week;) My daughter is the biggest help... I always knew she would be.
    When are you leaving? Are you going to have puter access?

    Hi, I'm 33, in a very similar situation. New to my surrounds and alone. I have no friends too close to me. Just looking for some online chat and companionship. I've tried multiple ways of keeping myself occupied, most of the time it still comes back to needing someone to chat with. Human interaction. Anyone want to chat?

    Volk: sure anytime. I know exactly what you mean.
    How was your holidays? What are your hobbies?
    Start: How were your holidays. I have missed our chats...

    I wasn't able to attend Thanksgiving dinner this year. Had to work and family is a little too far to do both. Things go up and down lately. I've been coping, but haven't found any real solutions to the lonliness. This is the first time I've ever been alone for more than a few days. I noticed that I went over a day without even speaking to anyone. That's weird. I like being alone and having my own schedule, but I do need some human interaction. You know.. without taking drastic measures. I go to work just to hang out with others sometimes. I know, pathetic. I work out as much as I can to pass time and not sit around and drink beer. I don't know. I'll eventually find some friends I guess.

    Start:... well not so good... but still trying. I have rested though!
    Volk: I am sorry that you weren't able to attend Thanksgiving dinner. I have lived in this area most of my life and still haven't figured out how to make friends. I DO like to be alone... Too Much. I get lonely for conversation. I am around people all day but... no real conversation. So what do you do for a living. You moved by yourself? Not married or have kids?
    The working out is good. It produces the GOOD hormones... but I bet you already knew that. Do you live in a small town?
    I hope to hear from you soon!

    Need a friend:
    I split up with a girlfriend who I am in great debt to. She helped me through my previous divorce and we really did have something, but she was drinking too much and then a bunch of other personal things happened over the course of a year, so I just cut it off, she didn't want to help herself and I needed to get away. For the better. I was able to live temporarily at a friends place for a month until I found a place. Found a place closer to work and now it's just me. Lonely and 40 miles from family and friends. I don't know anyone in the area really. I just hang out and work out, ride my bikes and surf the net and eat and drink and sleep. Talk to a friend of mine on the phone once and a while. Really depressing stuff. I would much rather not talk about my jobs outside of they are the only things I've had to look forward to. It's not a small town, but it's no metropolis either. I've never been alone before. It's depressing.

    Volkl,
    I know how you feel. I moved 60 miles from my family and it is hard! That was along time ago for me. I was in the same delima as you. All I did was work eat and sleep. I still don't have any friends either. I like to be alone. BUT there are times I need someone to talk to. I wish I knew what to say to make things OK for you. It sounds like you are smart if you got away from the drinking...
    I am the girlfriend that helped through the divorce, but he started drinking not me.
    I am still here and it is not as bad as it was in the beginning by a long stretch but I wish he would quit altogether. He is a 3 nighter. Goes out 3 or 4 nights a week. But is usually home by 10 and the bar is 3 blocks away.
    Is there anyone at work that you could hang with after?
    Well I know I can't fix the problem so I will quit trying... LOL I am here for you if you want to talk... startover22 has been a great friend for me... and a great cheerleader.
    Tell me about you... what kind of workouts do you do? Weights?
    Any other interests or hobbies you have or would like to have? Fav color?

    Need?? How are you? I am doing good, slowing on the yoga but getting my life in some sort of order. I am getting the total gym thingy, I need more muscle and I can't seem to use the free weights cause of my back. Work is nuts, kids are crazy, and we got our Christmas tree up.

    GO NEED GO!

    VOLK, make yourself get out of the house and do something... you have to or you will go crazy. Get involved. be a big brother or volunteer, do crafts with kids after school... help your community. (if time allows that is)
    Good luck!

    Well... I ride my bike often. Not just indoors. Even though it cold out, I force myself to get out and that's nice, went riding on Saturday, Colder than... I ski, went skiing on Sunday. Was helping my 4 yr old niece improve her technique. Well.. you know She's 4. LOL. Needless to say I had a good weekend. As for volunteering I've been considering helping at the hospital. Right now I volunteer my services for a local social club, but that is getting old and I really want to get out of it.

    Things are going better.. but there's always going to be harder times.
