Long time, no post...
Hello all,
First of all I'd like to preface this by saying it's been a long time--three years I think--since I've posted to this NG. I've skimmed over the last 200-300 messages and I do recognize some names such as Joelle, CME, Karen, and Kate. (I think Kate lives in Houston if my memory serves me right). There was a very popular poster on here (well not everyone liked him) that passed away...I do remember that many posters were deeply saddened at his passing. I want to say his name was Peter but I can't remember for sure. There was also a poster who fought bitterly with him (I think her name was Lorian)--she had some form of social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. I posted originally as Alex until "Peter" (if that was his name) and I had a few offline problems. I then started posting as George1984. At the end I resumed posting as Alex (my actual name). Some of you may remember me as Peter and I fought constantly and I was always defending Lorian (again if that was her name). Can anyone refresh my memory (Joelle, CME, etc.) with names, etc. Does anyone know what happened to Lorian? If nothing else, can someone tell me where I can find archived ASSP messages? Thanks, in advance. Alex |

Peterd upset a lot of people over the years before he suddenly passed away, then, because he died , upset a lot more people. Lorian was here til about a year ago. Her son had left home to live with an Aunt (I think) and she said she was going to concentrate on keeping things together. You should still be able to reach her on her old address. The archive can be accessed through the Google search engine homepage. click on groups, then type in a alt.support.single and hit return. That should keep you in reading matter for a year or so! So why the return? Nostalgia? or are you looking for advice? Dennis |

"Alex" wrote in message Thanks, in advance. PS A quick search found this post for yesterday. Message 6 in thread From: osote ) Subject: SSD/Ticket to Work View this article only Newsgroups: alt.support.depression.manic.moderated Date: 2005-01-26 02:17:37 PST Where does it say you get to keep your earnings up to $820 plus your ssi? Voc Rehab told me today that the ticket to work has no effect on our benefits or earnings, it is only there to expand the rights of private companies to "help" us i.e. make a profit from our poverty while doing nothing for us. Anyway, I took a part time job thinking that I could keep my earnings plus my ssi because of the ticket to work and now I can't prove it. Lorian |

Did you know that Cici passed away as well? I think Pat did too, if I am not mistaken. Welcome back. What is going on with you? V, aka Vicky -- "One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him."

Peterd upset a lot of people over the years before he suddenly passed away, then, because he died , upset a lot more people. Lorian was here til about a year ago. Her son had left home to live with an Aunt (I think) and she said she was going to concentrate on keeping things together. You should still be able to reach her on her old address. Thanks for the info. Her and I had a strange relationship. I know alot of the gripes about her and I can see where people see that about her. But once you got to know her she was a good person, a little odd at times (okay sometimes alot odd), but a good person nonetheless The archive can be accessed through the Google search engine homepage. click on groups, then type in a alt.support.single and hit return. That should keep you in reading matter for a year or so! So why the return? Nostalgia? or are you looking for advice? A little of both I suppose. Being a single parent in a state where 99% of SPs are mothers makes me yearn for the days where I could actually talk to other single fathers about real issues. Thanks for the info Dennis.

"CME" wrote in message news:V9bKd.51435$Qb.40781@edtnps89... "Alex" wrote in message news:8L1Kd.8949$8Q.6191@okepread06... Welcome back Alex. So what's new? Thanks Christine, I remember you also . Well the kids are older now, 13 & 16, and so it is much easier than it was 3 years ago (as I'm sure some of you can relate). I met this wonderful woman about 2 years ago and we are getting married soon. She has no kids but does want at least one..soooo, about 3 hours in surgery under the knife this past monday will hopefully reverse the vasectomy I had done several years ago. (By the way, if any of you guys are pondering this procedure, keep in mind your scrotum will swell to about the size of a baseball or larger--no I'm not kidding--for at least 3 days before it kindly decides to begin shrinking.) I'm still in the military and have 2 years to retire. Hmm...let's see...I've started collecting 19th century oil lamps and antique history books--I just bought a fully leather bound copy of the 1866, 4-volume "History of the United States" whixch is pretty fascinating considering it was published within 1 year following the civil war. Other than that, just doing the single parent thing (and preparing to get remarried after almost 7 years). So what's up with you? Alex Christine |

Pat...hmm...wasn't she somewhat of the matriarch of ASSP?? Welcome back. What is going on with you? See previous post How are things with you?

'Kate wrote: No! Really? I hadn't heard. The last thing I heard about Pat was that she was happily in love and her child was grown and on her own ... or in college and away. Something like that. I just thought she got married and lost interest in this group. Gosh, I hadn't heard that about Pat, either. Last I heard, she was enjoying the empty nest syndrome, too. Lorian's around. I hope she pops in here to say howdy! Karen |
