Lor, I totally agree with you! There are times when it's a relief or a "venting session" just to open up to someone else in a chat room. Sort of a way of talking to anyone, instead of all the thoughts circling around and around inside our heads. Yes, typing is a forum is wonderful too...but there's just times when you want to feel like someone, ANYone, understands what we're feeling. We used to get a dozen people in chat in evenings....what has everyone found to do that seems more interesting than friendship?
