Yes, every year. I'm not sure they have an accurate count of those who have reactions. I know my reaction wasn't recorded. I had no idea where to report it.

I post sometimes on a writing forum. Last summer, a male writer and I shared critiques of our work on the forum and on email. He gave me many compliments on my writing and said he thought I had good karma. At the time, I was planning a trip that, had I driven there, the route would have gone close to the city where his profile said he lived. I said I was contemplating making the trip and it might be fun to meet for lunch or over coffee. Maybe I'm naive, but he said he liked our relationship like it was and he preferred not. After that, I was a little embarassed bc I thought he thought I was hitting on him. I WASN'T. In my view, coffee is just coffee. I know this isn't Dear Abbey, but what does anyone else think? Did I cross an unspoken boundary I should have known about?

He may have a wife that wouldn't understand. Maybe he hasn't told his family he "knows" people on the internet? Maybe he's portraying himself as someone that he really isn't. I don't mean him turning out to be a bad person but maybe he's not happy with his looks? Anyway... I don't think you crossed any line at all.

I've met or phoned many people from blogs I've been on...one of my best friends I met on this one!! We get together quite a bit!!! I figure if you are on blogs of your own interest, you are bound to meet like minded people I wouldn't take anything personally, there could be so many reasons that have nothing to do with you, at all... I wouldn't let it end your pen pal friendship... Maybe they just need a little more time... Someone told me once to take nothing personal...everyone is dealing with their own baggage in life... The best we can do in life, is try to be kind to those we meet...and try and hide from the mean people... [size=7]like a mean boss at work,

The other thing driving my invitation to coffee or lunch was that he told me he had cancer. I lost two of my best friends to cancer in 2016. I tend to develop friendships with people I converse with a lot on forums of mutual interest, too, L2T. Thanks for saying that it's normal! We still talk, so maybe I just read something into his answer that wasn't there. We only talk about our poetry/writing. Just answered a msg. a few minutes ago. Agree about hiding from mean people

I would say that I've easily met at least 15 people that have been on this PM board...the nicest, friendliest people ever...that's because we grew up with Love and Peace and Peace and Love and even Love, Love, Love!!!ð??¬ð??§ â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ ð??¬ð??§ Funny thing about mean people...I told someone at work, that I was hiding from the mean boss and under their breath, in a tiny whisper...I heard [size=7]me too. I found out there's a lot of us... I'm trying to network to find us all... Power to the People RIGHT ON!!! Thank you //oo\\

That's great! I've met 3 or 4 people on this board and I agree. They are wonderful! I've even said if anyone is ever in my state, please call and let's meet for lunch. It would be my pleasure. Ironically, this person I was talking about just messaged me again and said he wants to stay in touch and considers me a mentor. He also said he hadn't been feeling well, so that is understandable. So, glad this is solved. Thanks, everybody!!!

Does anyone ever play the lottery? If so, have you ever won?

Some people do it religiously. I don't even know where to buy the scratch offs. Editing to say it would be cool, though, to win a decent amount the first time.

Yes, that would be great to win a large amt!

I just heard on TV that this is being shown at some movie theaters before the main show ? (I think it was before some scary clown movie...maybe "IT")

I play once in a blue moon, not very often. I've won a free ticket before, but that's it!
-
I rarely play .... I don't even know where to look up the numbers when they announce them. I have received tickets as a gift and I have bought them for some people as a gift I told them either you are going to have one of your cruddiest gifts or I am going to give you one of the best gifts that you will every have in life! It turned out a step above cruddy - maybe a $5.00 - $10.00 winner or free ticket - oh well .....
