This strange medium generates wonderful friendships, but how many have oyu met in real life?

I was wondering about naming them, but I think not.

My tally so far is:

UK: 6
USA: 8
Netherlands: 1
Sweden: 1
Mexico: 1
Germany: 1
Israel: 1

I wonder if I've missed anyone out?

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
When Kevin and I went for our civil union....  [message #17982 is a reply to message #17977] Thu, 27 November 2003 21:20 Go to previous messageGo to next message

There were 13 present.

All of whom I had met online. Although there were several that could not make the trip to our joining.

Oh did I say that I also met Kevin via the internet as well.


Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
