I am just a wee bit by my one moth anniversary at Xmarks and I was thinking about how I found it and why I started using it so much.

Diane had just left to return to America after out first stint of living together.
We'd be told (Heh) that the visa process for me to go to America would only take 2 months, so I moved back in with my Dad while we waited.

I was really sad and lonesome and joining Xmarks perked me up a lot.
I found it to be a warm and welcoming community and I like to think I've made some great friends here.
It was something that I could turn to when I was lonely and having a rubbish day.
Xmarks really helped me to get through that tough and lonely time without turning into a miserable whiner.

Now I am about to move over to America (finally!) but I still want to be around here as much as possible.
It's a great place and I love coming here on my happy days as well as sad days.



So it got me wondering, what rubbish times in your life has Xmarks helped you get through?
