Happy 2008 everyone!
It's been a bit quiet around here lately. I know that there are some new people who have not posted apps, so I will ask if you applied lately and have recently been added to do so before the end of the week, please.
Any suggestions to get this place hopping in 2008 are appreciated. :)

I'm leaving this post public, so that those who were deleted can still read it.
For those of you who missed it, I made several posts asking members to comment if they still wanted to be a part of LTL, in any way, shape or form. As long as one at least reads the community from time to time, that qualifies them as a member. I simply wanted to clean up the 200+ memberlist to a more comprehensive number. If you find that you are no longer a member of this community, and you missed the posts asking members to comment, feel free to let me know, and I'll add you right back.
If you didn't comment on purpose, because you wanted me to delete you, and you find you're still a member, let me know and I can fix that. I didn't delete usernames that I recognized as people who might wish to stay, but didn't see my other posts.

EVERYONE READ!
I'd like to welcome ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) joeschmoe7 as the new mod, and missjecka as the new co-mod. Many of you applied and you're all wonderful, but I made my choice based on who has been in this community the longest, and who's the most active.
Myself and Jess sakura_in_bloom are stepping down from running ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) long_term_love. It's been great you guys .... thank you so much for turning this community into such a positive, loving, almost drama free place for people to come.
♥
Note to new mods - I don't have any acceptance banners for accepting apps, they got deleted by accident, but I know missjeck is good with graphics!

 exhausted |

okay so for a long as i can remember... months even... i haven't been sleeping full nights. i wake up 4-5 times, pee, walk around, stretch my legs, and go back to sleep. or try to. when i lay in bed i toss and turn, put pillows in between my legs, stretch my leg really tight and lock my knees. sometimes my legs even itch so bad it feels like bugs are crawling up them. this is a problem for me, and also for nick because i am disturbing his sleep and he often wakes up to see if i'm okay.
i didn't think much of this, other than being completely exhausted during the day, and have just been putting it in the back of my mind. now that i think about it, it is half the reason i probably don't stay up late or enjoy going out much anymore. so i see this commercial for restless leg syndrome. i thought, "that's it! that's me and that's what i have, finally!!!" as my dad would say, i have the jimmy legs. well, quite frankly i'm tired of being tired all the time because i can't get relief and i can't sleep! so after seeing the commercial i went online and found out all kinds of information that applies to me and finally makes soooo much sense!
restless leg syndrome mostly occurs in adulthood, but can occur in children. it is often misdiagnosed as growing pains and ADD. when i was a little girl my legs hurt allll the time. like ached. both my mother and i, as children, had such problems that when walking our legs would give out and we would fall. they told me i had growing pains and as i got older it would stop. it hasn't. the website i found said that RLS is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. there was finally a drug approved by the FDA to treat RLS, but most people don't seek medical attention for fear of not being taken seriously. that is EXACTLY why i never told my parents or my doctor about it. turns out when i was little i was also anemic and people who have an iron deficiency or who are anemic tend to suffer from RLS.
now, i don't want to go to the doctor yet, but this is a really crappy situation i am in. the few websites i was on suggested that if you don't take vitamins [which i definitely don't as often as i should] then to start. they all recommended B12, Calcium, and Folic Acid supplements. since my dad is a health freak we had all of those in my house. i am going to give them 2 weeks to get in my system and if i don't feel any relief i guess i will have to go to the doctor. the thing that sucks though is that most people think this is me being a hypochondriac ["hypo" as nick would say!] but it's not. i can't remember the last time i slept a whole night through.
my question is, does anyone else suffer from this? does anyone else have any idea what i'm talking about? according to doctors, patients often decribe this feeling as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful. pleaseee, any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!!

| This is my confession |

CONFESSIONS
How it works: Leave an anonymous comment in this post, with no names and no incriminating information, revealing something, preferably about your relationship. Good or bad. There is no obligation to post anything. If you do post, you do not need to apologize for or justify anything about your confession.
Rules: Under no circumstances are any confessions to be spoken about in the community, and you are not allowed to post a comment to any confession. Any and all replies to them will be deleted. This is not a place to pass judgment or make rude remarks or give advice or agreement. Why? Because if any of us wanted feedback, we'd post about it openly.
The point: We all know no relationship or life is perfect, and perhaps some of us have things we've never told anyone else, or our significant other, but would like to get off our chest. It might make you feel better, and it might help others to see they're not alone, and they can relate.

I would just like to take a moment to say that I really like this community.
At first I wasn't sure because I used to be in perfect_love (along with a few others from this comm i think) and that was a really stable and tight knit community but after being in this one for a while I have really grown to like this place as much if not more than perfect_love. I can pretty much say without a doubt that everyone here is really understanding and supportive and are all in really awesome relationships, and even for the few who are separated from their past loves and are still in the community, we all offer support to those ones- and I think that is so awesome.
So yeah, I'd like to thank the mods for doing a really good job at keeping the community going with the questions of the week which aren't superficial ones like other communities I've seen.
Everyone have a good day. ♥
Ps. I'm keeping this entry public so potential members may see how awesome this community really is.
