We really don’t expect you to be perfect, gary. You do an excellent job. And it sounds like your ISP has really been giving you trouble. I’m sorry about that.

horrificweather catastrophe somewhere. Hey Gary!!!! You hit us in Seattle pretty hardlast time, could you direct it another way this time? Gwen, you’re from that City? I have a brother, sis-in-law and nephew in Bremerton. Bro is in the Navy there. Never been out there to visist, though. They’ve been there over a year after his 3 year stint in Japan, but my anxiety has kept me from seeing them. Janie.

I still am IN that city! I have a brother, sis-in-law and nephew in Bremerton. Bro is in the Navy there.
Yeah, Bremerton is about an hour + north of here and the navuy is pretty big here, must be all that water. LOL!! Never been out there to visist, though. They’ve been there over a year after his 3 year stint in Japan, but my anxiety has kept me from seeing them. Janie.
Maybe someday, Janie – never say never! Oh, guess you didn’t, but know what I mean? Where are you at? Is it a long trip for you? Hmmm…Seattle seems to be a long trip from anywhere, come to think of it. :) Gwen

Not for us. We go every year to see family and friends. Expensive, but theraputic. We miss it. Iris —

I’m in NJ, only a few miles from the George Washington Bridge which takes you onto the island of Manhattan, N.Y.C. So, yeah, it’s far. I don’t have a problem travelling to places I’ve been before, and we took a cruise on our honeymoon and I was ok (all this done with benzo’s keep in mind), but just can’t fathom going out there. I’m thinking of maybe September for my nephew’s first b-day. He is so cute. His mother is Japanese and my brother is fair and blonde and 6 foot 6. Janie. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Thanks also to those who have kept me informed of new sites, or old damaged and dead ones! Even if you skip the lists of essential URLs please take time to read the hints and tips at the end of this post. ESSENTIAL URLs: Arthur Anderson’s WWW site contains an excellent dictionary of the terms you’ll see used here, as well as the renowned "Amusing Panics" collection and more: http://www.netaxs.com/people/aca3/AP.HTM http://www.netaxs.com/people/aca3/AD-ENG.HTM http://www.netaxs.com/people/aca3/ ——- Cathleen Henning has produced a very useful site with much information and comprehensive links.

Two topics particularly likely to cause trouble here are religion and the alleged addictive properties of benzodiazepine medications, such as Xanax. The convention on ASAP regarding religion is that preaching or exhorting others to follow any particular faith is not acceptable. It is fine to say that faith in X or Y has helped you individually, but *not* to suggest others follow your beliefs and especially not to quote religious works for the purposes of conversion. Regarding medication, it is extremely important that you check out previous postings on the subject (see below). The "addiction" issue has been exhausted several times over on this NG and detailed explanations of the medical difference between addiction and dependency have been posted on countless occasions. Please do *not* post inflamatory material on this subject. Read the earlier discussions. WANT TO DIP INTO OUR PAST? Most posts to ASAP are archived and can be invaluable sources of information about therapies, medications, symptoms etc. Posts can be accessed via: and/or http://altavista.digital.com NEED TO POST ANONYMOUSLY? It is quite acceptable for posters to withold their identities if need be, provided, of course, they post sensibly. For information on anonymous servers, send e-mail to: message. UNSURE ABOUT NETIQUETTE? If you are completely new to newsgroups and want to find out the general dos and donts, the following site provides FAQs and guides: http://sunsite.unc.edu/usenet-i/ AND FINALLY… Please send any comments, corrections, possible additions On behalf of the regulars, welcome to one of the friendliest and most supportive NGs on the ‘net — Gary Cooper

No, because (thankfully) it isn’t a part of AOL. It does, however, have an excellent IRC channel, called #anx/pan, which meets on Dalnet from about 7pm EST onwards. — Gary Cooper
