Sometimes I have trouble believing it since in the beginning I figured I would never get it. But tonight I saw between a woman with 46 years - who still keeps coming back - and a guy who hopes to have a year next month. And I can learn from both of them.

And so I've switched addictions, LOL. I also keep coming back to DU - since I never paid close attention to the news until 9/11 woke me up (I'm in New York) and I don't want to miss anything again!
