When I met up with a forum member last year some time, I enriched my life ten fold.

I was terrified beyond description for days leading to the meeting and wanted more than once to cancel, but that was my agoraphobia and fear of people kicking in and I refused to let those phobias win.

I added a friend to my life. Not a friend to do girly things with, etc, but a friend that if I called and said I am in trouble and need you--that friend would come. I have no doubt.

While meeting people in person that you have met on line IS not the smartest idea anyone could ever have, I was very lucky. I got to meet Marlene! I only post her name because she had already posted our meeting.

Just felt it deserved to be in the success section
