Cold Turkey Losses -- the hardest, cruelest kind.

Your feelings are bittersweet. Kinda like when you lose your best friend, your favorite uncle, your day-in, day-out companion...you feel like Josh at the pool....

Whether you mourn the loss of Pugita, Curtis, Josh, Eddie, the BB house, Bob, Julie, your virtual life, or just jostling back and forth with other posters on the board, here's a link, intended to be helpful:

Well, thats it for me. I just want to take a little bit of time to sum up the last 3 month for me.

First off the top I really would like to tanks all of you. The moderators and posters, those I have argued with and those that I now consider friends. For 3 months I have gotten to know you all, and I am glad that we were able to come to the place to discuss the show and the humans that we love to call our HGs.

We have all had our dis agreements over the actions and words of the HGs and each other but in the end this board allowed us to share our thoughts and feelsing in a very open and honest way.

My most memorable moment here was between eddieluvver and myself. I no d not remember why we started to agrue, but some words were said on both sides that we would not normaly say. But the best part was the next day when we both appoligized to each other and decided to just agree to disagree. At that moment I realized that this was one of the great lesson of the show, wether it was intended or not, it show that people from all across North America can sit, discuss and walk away better for it.

To all of those who picked a favorite HG and stuck by them for the entire show. I congragulate you for being a friend. If you are able to stand by your favorite HG through all this I know that your friends truly have afriend for life. We sometimes put ourselves through the wringer emotionaly following this show and now I can only suggest taht we all stand back for a while and digest what we have seen.

All of these HGs have become family to as all, For one or two of us, we know them better then our families at this point. I now realize that all the bashing I have done on this board, was basised on emomtion and not with my head. These are people and they deserve to be treated as such, with respect and dignaty.

Some of us will go on to get to know these HGs through corrospondence or for some of us a even closer relationship. I think that is a positive and you all should be so lucky. Just as we have all meet people who have challenged us, helped us grow, and became our friends, I hope you will be able to offer the same to that HGs you are so fortunate to meet.

In closing, thanks for putting up with me, and I will see you all back here for BB2. In the meantime I am always happy to hear from friends out there.
