Thanks Britt. I will do the same and try to help you out as much as I can. Maybe share with you some of the mistakes I have made. I don't think I could offer much advice other than that.
One thing I will say though, is that this site has given me alot of advice and support and has been a great place for me to vent. So, even if you want to just get things off your chest, then do it.
One thing I have decided to do is to take up martial arts again. I really enjoyed plus it will give me a chance to meet new people. You should definately look at doing something that you've been putting off that you will enjoy.
