Amazing how the bar is a cyber bar, the drinks are cyber drinks, the fire is a cyber fire and even the couch is a cyber couch, but the friendships and feelings are as real as it gets.
I've never really posted in 'Thurdays' either, but when I read this quote of your's, Debbie, I had to come in...just to agree. I don't think anyone outside of Pet Talk would ever understand the feelings we have for each other here. Though most of us have never met in person, and most of the silly things we do together are all 'virtual', the feelings and friendships are certainly as real as it gets. That's because people we meet online 'are' real people, and 'are' real friends. People wouldn't understand how we could feel so strongly about folks we've never met, but the fact is, each and every one of us on PT knows that feeling. Losing someone from PT is no different than losing someone you're close to in person. That's just the way things are.

Three years ago, if someone told me people on the internet would mean so much to me, I would've laughed and said, "Whatever." Now...I totally understand it. Because I feel no one would understand, I too, keep quiet about PT in my daily life. Its something I keep to myself, because I don't think I'd be able to explain, and get people to understand and listen.

This girl doesn't drink alcohol, so if you don't mind, I'd like a Jamba Juice please.
