ORLANDO FL - A loner has sued a Florida chain mail author over allegations that she could not participate in the chain letter because she is unable to forward the letter to ten of her friends. "She does not have ten friends," her lawyer said. "Hell, she doesn't even have one."
Susie Wangenstein of Orlando sued Patty Freedman in U.S. District Court, claiming the author violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not taking her Social Avoidant Disorder into consideration when authoring the chain letter that requires the recipient to "forward it on to ten friends OR RISK THE BAD KARMA THAT COMES WITH BREAKING THE CHAIN."
"Susie won't open ANY emails now. She's an emotional wreck and we will win," said her lawyer.

married or had children. However, in his professional life, his skills as a mechanic were well-known and extremely sought after, and he was able to put away a modest nest egg for retirement.
In 1968 at the age of 51, Dick escaped, built a log cabin at Upper Twin Lakes, Alaska and lived there alone for the next 30 years.
A typical loner, very little is known about Dick's private life. The closest reported family member was his brother. It is not known if he was ever
I often wonder what separates someone like Dick from the rest of we loners. Someone who actually lives the loner dream instead of coming with up with a hundred reasons why we can't.

It was a great feeling, a stirring feeling.
The dream was a dream no longer.
To live in a pristine land unchanged by man. To be not at odds with the world but content in one's own thoughts and company.
Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them.

"What was I capable of that I didn't know yet? What about my limits? Could I truly enjoy my own company for an entire year? Was I equal to everything this wild land could throw at me? I had seen its moods in late spring, summer, and early fall, but what about winter? Would I love the isolation then, with its bonestabbing cold, its brooding ghostly silence, its forced confinement? At age fifty-one I intended to find out." - DICK PROENNEKE, MAY 21, 1968.
1995 was the last full year that he spent at Twin Lakes. The -50 degree winters had become too much for his aged body to cope with and he returned to live the remainder of his life with his brother in California. But those 30 years alone became a facinating story of happiness, hard work and survival. And anyone who's ever had a dream to escape should read his story. It just might motivate you to pursue your own little piece of loner paradise.
"I suppose I was here because this was what I had to do. Not just dream about it but do it."
Ms. Wangenstein waits in fear for bad karma to happen.
