Of course I tried all the "best" fat loss products, nothing helped very much. It wasn't til I tried Anatrim that I saw the pounds seriously start to melt away! Nothing helped me lose weight faster. I literally saw 15 pounds melt away within the first few weeks! There's nothing more exciting than watching pounds disappear, especially when you've tried all sorts of different methods and products before. I've since read up on Anatrim and am amazed at the number of people who have benefited from its amazing results. I'm halfway to my goal, Anatrim will get me the rest of the way ;) Hey :)

I completely missed out on the BBS world, as I was living in a 'developing' country. I used to read and find so many references to BBSes, and Compuserve, it really made me aware of how backward we Indians were then. //I think the danger on the Internet is that people feel that no one is looking// I couldn't agree more. And I like your and Aikaterine's optimism that we get an opportunity like never before to discover the good side of people on the Internet, which we otherwise wouldn't have. That's what makes it so compelling! Velinn: thanks! I completely missed out on the BBS world, as I was living in a ‘developing’ country.

Actually, sometimes I can be rather non-strange. Maybe that's part of my strangeness? *PA ponders self* Yes, I’m just strange too but not scary or dangerous.

If I ever meet someone who I consider worthy enough to be a long term partner, then he will be my only male friend. I do appreciate the male perspective. And part of me wishes that things could be different. I have given male friends a good honest try, and I might again in the future. Who knows, maybe there are some who can appreciate a woman's mind and companionship without also wanting to bed her (outside of the virtual arena).

If I were married or in a monogamous relationship, I would not meet a male online friend alone either. I bet that is a bit surprising. But I have learned that men and women (or at least men and I) cannot be 'just friends', most of my friends are women. And I would not want to put my partner in that position. I would have a very real problem if he wanted to meet a female online friend alone. It cuts both ways. So, I absolutely agree with you. Actually, I agree with you.

I have not had a bad experience so far with anyone I have considered an online friend, but then I have not yet ever actually met any of my online friends. In fact on our mutiny group I trust each and every member and would love to meet them. In fact some of them met in Bangalore and I felt bad that I missed that blog camp. Harsha and me almost met in a Pune blog camp but I sort of made a mistake about the date... But maybe its because I am married, but I would not meet any man I know online alone. In a blog camp, at a party or in a group, its fine. But a woman would happily meet alone. Guess its my conservative upbringing. In my real life, I do have some male friends from college but they know my husband well and we usually meet with wives etc. I would feel odd meeting any of them without their wives, unless my husband was around too! Maybe this would seem very odd to you Aikaterne and you might think I am pretty conservative, but thats how I feel. I don't think I would like it either if my husband met any woman friend for a movie alone (he has woman colleages who call up and are friendly with me, and we at times go for movies or for dinner or something) or anything unless her husband or me was present. Pretty old fashioned huh! Have a good trip to Wales. I tend to trust people easily and that means online too!

There are no checks for my strangeness. Stealth strange. Under the radar strange. Just when you think you're safe. Bam. Strange tentacles shoot out and strange you up. I am very very strange.

I started doing this stuff back in 1989, but on local BBS's. We had a "teleconference" as it was called then where about 30 of us could talk together. It was really fun and because we were all local we could easily descend upon Denny's at 2am. In about 1993 I discovered the Internet and it was a completely different world. I was used to "online" friendships by then (even though we'd all met, we mostly communicated with each other via computer) but I was not prepared for the Internet. I was burned right off by someone I assumed was telling the truth. It still happens, even though I'm much more cautious, but that has more to do with people in general I think. My mom used to tell me, "You are truly yourself only when no one is looking," and I think the danger on the Internet is that people feel that no one is looking. This is a double edged sword: Generally we see the ugliest sides of people (as in your search terms), but it also allows us to see the most beautiful parts of the people we love. I think the later outweighs the former. mahendrap:

But luckily, I really don't believe that any of the people who I consider friends are part of that group. And there are always checks that you can do before actually meeting anyone. So, I think it is still fairly safe. You just have to be smart about it. I know there are some very strange people out there.

In 1994, I was a lone soul in Mumbai, India, communicating over email with a Texan middle-aged woman. There was no instant messaging, no blogs, only email. Ultimately when I visited the US for the first time in 97, she flew over from Houston to California just to meet me, and we spent a couple of nice romantic days together! It was easier to trust online friends then. It is not now. After the web exploded, every tom, dick, and harry joined in playing tom-tom with their hairy dicks, and thus you now get these google searches on your blog!
