I guess my perspective is that I didn't really get PAD as such, but it was like my life was suddenly turn 90 degrees and sent in a completely different direction that became an adventure of a lifetime for me. Would I like to experience that again - HELL YEAH! To live through all that discovery about myself and the wider world 'out there', forming new friendships that had a deeper meaning than I had experienced before and do things I had no idea I was ever capable of,...to live through that again, for me, would be amazing - just to know that it really happened and it was not a dream. It makes me so grateful for this experience.

How much this meant to me was brought home when I was accidently 'banned' for AF due to an Admin error. I found out in the morning before I had to go to work. I really felt my heart sink, like never before. It was a hard day to get through. When I go home I rushed to log in again to find out ma tsmukan, Prowler, had tried to find out what had happened. When normal service resumed, I knew how much this family meant to me. You really don't know how much things mean to you until they are taken away.

I may not have the highest count on the 'addiction scale', but I know my Avatar family matters so much to me....ooo....kinda poured out my heart a bit there ...but somehow, I know you all know what I mean.

Eywa naghu,

Alan
