Wish I was lying on the couch in your office smoking too many fags and talking this through late into the night. Love you always xxxxxxxxxx

Well, I don't know about any one else, but I have a bunch of your recipes saved. I'll admit I have yet to make them, but that is free time and laziness on my part.

I always look forward to your blogs. And most times, you teach me something whether it is a recipe or a new slant of thinking about something or just your rants when you get your point across in a unique way. I bet you would be surprised how many people read your words and get something from your ideas.

Why do you think you haven't helped anyone?? There are probably many who have been reached through your sharing that just have never told you so. Chili was great, btw

I will never forget the day I stumbled upon your blog and one of your entries made me weep because it hit me hard that I was not alone in my suffering. Other people were going through similar (and sometimes worse) things. THEY REALLY GOT IT. That sense of not being alone was a HUGE relief for me. And then to have that chance encounter grow into one of the most satisfying relationships of my life...I can't even begin to attach a value to that. It is priceless. As for recipes - I fed your pasta/tuna salad to my mother, and she RAVED about it. I plan on making it again when Leigh comes home on Sunday. I'm sorry you don't see what a difference you have made in some of our lives, but what about Wolf? Look what you've done for him! You are amazing (I am privileged to have been able to discover that in real life), and I love you very much.

I've been reading your diary for years. I'm not one to reach out, but this entry made me so sad. LA, you DO make a difference! Your strength to get out of a crappy marriage helped me to do the same thing. Really! I spent 22 years in misery and eight months ago decided I didn't deserve to feel this way. Your daily entries often were the one thing to lift me up and that I looked forward to when it got rough. Things are so much better for me now. I'm sorry I didn't say something to you sooner. I think you are amazing. I'm sure there are many others like me out there, too.

Life's funny that way: one day you find out that something you said casually twenty years ago changed someone's life. I'm pretty sure that most of the time, you never find out, but that we affect each other much more than we think. That's why I always feel like it's worthwhile to keep talking, especially in cases like yours where you have so much experience to offer. I do think part of the problem is D-land. I know you like it here, and I'm not saying that you should move, just that if you stay you have to accept that it limits your audience. These days, you're the only reason I come here. All the others I read have gone quiet or moved. I'm sure lots of others come here on purpose to read you too, but I doubt you're getting the random readers browsing by that you would have been seeing in the past.

And you are?
