• I've gained many great, TRUE friends.. The ones who have stuck by my side for years and continue to do so.
  • I've given the people a break in my daily life from hearing about my dogs.
  • I've traveled a lot more often, met a ton of different people, and as said gained friendships from such.
  • I've gained a lot of confidence in myself and realized what kind of people to let in my life and what kind I should stay away from.
  • I've done a lot more with my computer skills creating and helping other PT'ers.
  • I've learned new words and phrases... Frito Feet, anyone?
  • My living room is a bigger mess from the dog toys recieved in the mail. :P
  • I've learned to love spiders, lizards, snakes, etc... in my own unique way, instead of being ignorant towards them.
  • I've been able to expand my dog's tricks from seeing other tricks here on PT.

    The list could go on and on.... the good and the ugly.
