<<I am not looking for romance, just for simple pleasant correspondence of the non sticky type, non complicated type, on any topic of interest.>> My advice: Find newsgroups that deal with your favorite topics, and post followups there, and try to strike up some conversations. After all, why do you think there are more than ten thousand newsgroups? For example, if I’m in the mood for non-affectionate chatting about my special interests I post to sci.space.policy or rec.games.go etc. This support group is only for talking specifically about loneliness, and you must have some other interest, don’t you??

When I was a big IRCer their was a group of people who ran a closed channel called BDSM and though i’m not a big BDSMer person myself I hang on the fringe, with a number of friends who find great interest in BDSM.  When I finally shoehorned my way into the group, I found, much to my titililating dismay that they rarely talked BDSM, usually they just babbled incessantly about silly stuff.  But they all had an avid interest in the whole BDSM lifestyle and it was over there on one bright day when I found myself screaming at 9600 baud on a antiquated IBM 3151 terminal, that I realized of all the IRC groups I hung on and had cruised around looking for great conversation, that though they rarely talked about BDSM, except in the most tame joking way, that this was a group of people who had the ability to fin joy and comfort in each other and their shared musing’s.  So whips and chains and candles that stain were rarely talked about, but the conversation was always fun and the people always interesting. I would hope that here on ASL that we would sometimes talk about anything but loneliness, that sometimes we’ll find it in ourselves just to chat and babble and even maybe seek the company of others through other forms of just as enlightening conversation, like email and the phone, maybe even in person, that such would be our way of finding somethng more then the best "loneliness" to draw us together, to be more. I have other interest’s, I want to share them here. Ciao Pablo He sighed deeply knowing…no one would hear the emotion of his exhaust that’s she’d wasn’t standing behind him her breast to his shoulder Just to be close with him hearing the emotion of something he said but he still sighed he still chuckled and mused with the occasional word so gently beneath his breath knowing that if she were here she’d hear the want the simple ache he felt and she’d be beside him it was worth effort he thought to say the things he felt even when it was just a sigh alone I am Pablo http://www.mindspring.com/~emphasis

you are certainly a breath of fresh air :) I’ve posted my number and invitation for visitors in this group (and all over the web) for years… met some amazing people along the way (and would get together with lots more if we were in closer proximity) I created a whole slew a email groups a few years back for people who did not want to talk about ASL or Usenet or loneliness and problems all the time… a few are still flowing well and some are used as meeting places for email sharing off the group (that’s epecially true for the teens group and the kids group)… some are quiet as a quiet can get… loneliness-subscr…@egroups.com for one… some of the ones borne here (I didn’t create them all) include: asltalk  - for an email conversation aslhelp  - for help if we can help each other find it asljoke  - for sharing jokes and humor asllink  - for sharing links aslreview  - for movie and book lovers who wish to share reviews… aslfaq  - for discussion of FAQs and other information documents… aslflame  or  asl-flame  - for flames and people who want to fight… aslwebbuilders  - for helping each other create web pages… I’m probably leaving some out… lots of others stemming from other ideas… (even some that started here and want nothing to do with ASL anymore)… and some set up to discuss specific emotions… adding -subscr…@egroups.com to any of the names above and sending an email subscribes you… whatever guidelines the members ask for are the posting guidelines for each group… personally I’m not into rulemaking myself… I’m in it for the wonderful people I can and have met and for the creative inspirations I find… Bill has a chatroom on his website… there’s an ASL ICQ list at http://home.att.net/~newsbee/asl/icq/icqlist.html and I’m not sure if they’re still reading, but a few people wanted an IRC or other sort of chat recently… this laptop won’t let me chat anymore so until I get a bigger computer I’m in NGs and email groups… if that’s not enough effort to share – there’s more :) I’m focused a lot on local groups and finding offline sharing these days… found my roommates on www.sharerent.com and a couple of friends on www.friendfinder.com and even have a listing on www.oneandonly.com (emphasizing friends, not romance)… I also met people using local searches on www.icq.com (though until I get the grown up computer I can’t turn ICQ on much without re-booting and it’s still slow)… that elusive peron who relates to me on enough levels to reach for inimacy is still out there unfound, but I haven’t really turned up the search energy yet… this month my primary focus is on apartment hunting… and anybody who can afford the calls is welcome to call me (I’m in the book and more contact info is on my webpages)… so I agree – and cheer the idea of more sharing and less lamenting and less arguing… hope to have more visitors real soon :) honest love, ric "You know there are walls that come tumbling down  For people who yearn to be free  Still there are hearts that long to be opened  And eyes that are longing to see"                                            ~~ John Denver ~~ – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->He sighed deeply >knowing…no one >would hear >the emotion >of his exhaust >that’s she’d wasn’t standing >behind him >her breast to his shoulder >Just to be close >with him >hearing >the emotion >of something he said >but he still sighed >he still chuckled >and mused with the >occasional word >so gently beneath >his breath >knowing that if she were >here >she’d hear the want >the simple ache >he felt >and she’d be beside him >it was worth effort >he thought >to say the things he felt >even when it was just >a sigh >alone >I am Pablo >http://www.mindspring.com/~emphasis

just wanted to give your poetry the highlight it deserved :) tried connecting to your site a few times tonight and I haven’t been able to connect… been having browser problems all day and I suspect it’s partly due to lack of memory and mostly due to server problems as they’ve shut down a few times today and their recording still says they are experiencing problems… missed your written voice :) honest love, ric "It is said that a lover seem in dreams   Will prove to be an unfaithful love.   Yet I ache and moan for you, faithless   Lover, and how can I see you except in   Dreams. O love, even though it is only   In Dreams that I see you,   Let me see you; let me see you always."        ~ Myong
