I Am An EP Refugee

I miss EP, when I heard that they were leaving I cryed.
Thankfully I was able to get some dear friends emails addresses and some on different chat sites.
I hope that this will become a safe and secure place to hang out make good friends and catch back up with the old ones and to be able to enjoy and share in each of our lives together.

It didn't really bother me when they announced it. After it was gone, then i was lost. This site seems like it will work out after they get the bugs worked out. I am ready for the private messaging and albums. thanks for making me a friend, I appreciate it.

I don't have many friends. That is why I chose to not live out my latter years in America. I will be defecting to South America where I grew up. A/O 1/1, I will no longer consider myself an American.
I have to live 12,000 miles away to find true friends. No, life is not easier here but it is happier for me.
I was heartbroken when I heard EP was disappearing into oblivion. I still liked it more than SW. Here, just anyone can hound in on you and create bogus profiles. EP was more secure. Pervs couldn't access you without both parties adding e/o to their circles.
I formed some very special friendships on EP. One was especially special since he and I were "carbon copies" in our experiences. I have found a few on here, too so I hope they will continue being my friends and communicating with me.

@spankemotk: Best of luck moving back to South America. The good ole USA has really taken a dive. I have two kids in their 20s and I fear for what it will be like in a few years. I hope your friendships on SW get stronger. The having a carbon copy friend is really neat.Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, friend. I hope to return in mid January provided I receive my Brazilian passport by then. I plan to start the application process as soon as I get home.
Brazil isn't too much better politically. Its president has been impeached but is still eligible for a comeback and she wants to. Her replacement is only temporary but isn't much good for the country.
Even with that, I am much happier here and have lots of adopted family and loads of friends, too.
I am inclined to agree with you that we worry for your kids' generation but even more so, for the generation to follow, not being brought up with moral absolutes or rules or even responsibilities at home. What type of leaders will they be?
Thanks for your good wishes. I am in the midst of a sticky wicket right now. I will tell you about it in a private message to follow.
