new friends?

Today there were threads about a CL and all, a leader, moderator, a horse built by a committee(ends up looking like a camel).   I found that the stream of comments really made me feel like many others thought like me.  But I have been trying to figure out how to 'work' the site to find others like myself...looney as a...well, loon.   Overall I found this thread particuarly enlightning and I checked some of the users' profiles that seemed common to my thoughts.  I was hopeful when I saw some commonality. As for me lately I was just in the highs, then REAL dumps and now back 'medium rare'.   That's it, I should make a series of little wooden stakes I carry around, RARE, MEDIUM....   Mood stakes.  I will make $millions (dumb person evil laughter). Anyway a core group really spoke to me tonight, that was nice.  I am going to try to ask for friends.  I have not done that before.  It feels odd like fear of rejection.   But I need to get over that and reach out so I can move forward with making connections on this site.  Ah well, I could just be ignored but I am pretty alone now so ignore would not be much different.  My cats will ALWAYS keep me company on cold nights with a warm lap to sit on (they just use me...those opportunist.  I think they also just applied for govt bailout TARP funds as I found my computer on that webpage when I came home today;Pcare,  notfound404
