I think some people you "know" more then others. But I definately feel closer to some people here then I do with my "real life" friends. Maybe it has something to do with the cat bond or the animonity (sp?) of being on line not not always being face to face. Sometimes it is easier to open up more typing then talking.

I'm not sure...it is hard for me to open up to anyone, in real life or not. Lately I've been enjoying reading more than posting. But I am still enjoying it here!

Where whiskers abound.
Same here as Jenny82Cat Mommy, (stupid me messed up, I wanted to quote Jenny82Cat Mommy)

If you read my previous posts, it's hard to find someone that shares the same interest as I do: especially cats. I did try to start some conversations but they went flat because the people I started conversations were not interested in cats/dogs/or gardening. So, I said, FORGET it, I have plenty to read, at least a lifetime worth so I just wait at sport practices and read in my car.

I kind of do.. I've never talked to anyone on here outside of the forums.. through messenger or anything.. but there are several people that I've replied with back and forth in some threads.. so I feel like I "know" some of them.

I definately do..alot of members, not all members of course.

Its a nice feeling to know people, and have them know you to the point that you are meeting or chatting in IM.

I would really miss everyone if I lost my internet

I agree. I love being surrounded by people that share my love of animals but I'm a bit of a loner

I havent been on here long so I havent developed that 'bond' with people like I would like to but on dailydrool I feel like I know everyone of the people on there better than some of my friends that I actually see. It is easier to open up to people through the comp and you dont feel like your being judged..its nice having that connection with people even if youve never met them face to face.

Most of you haven't been here long enough to remember Bodlover, but she and I became wonderful friends. She is in the UK and I am in Canada. In fact, we have decided my boys (Kevin and Derek) are going to marry her girls Raynie and Megan) so we can be inlaws. So what it they are only little babies - people do arranged marriages all of the time!

I finally can say I feel close to people on here. I read more than I post & find myself laughing out loud a lot. Where I worked no one was a cat lover and they wouldn't get my funny stories.
