So let's pop the cork on the champagne (or sparkling cider) and raise our glasses and offer a toast to Gerry - May the new year bring you many new adventures, fulfillment of dreams, and exciting surprises.

Yes! This is our GALS Mantra:

Sink the Boat -- Ride the Phantom!!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to QAZklh for making the graphic for us..."

AND NOW.... the original thread.

Being the compassionate person that I am, I can recognize a cry for help when I see one. Having said that, I have decided to start a new support group for those of us with Gerry Addicted Lust Syndrome – from now on, all with Gerry Addicted Lust Syndrome with be known as GALS.

This group is open to all GALS and non-GALS alike who believe they are in serious need of support and guidance as they realize how serious their addiction has become. This is not a support group which advocates traditional intervention, as the failure rate would be astronomical, but merely a group whom you can turn to who share in your addictions or withdrawals, whichever the case may be. Some of the signs that you have GALS include, but are not limited to:

1. You buy every magazine on the rack looking for photos or articles of Gerry and start to get the jitters when there has been no sign of him for weeks.

2. You drive 500 miles to see a Gerry movie.

3. Your significant other (or just someone you're dating) gives you stark reminders they are SOOOO NOT Gerry.

4. Co-workers, friends and/or family start teasing you for your addiction – people can be so cruel...

5. You become addicted to caffeine because you can’t pull yourself away from GALS...."'cause just MAYBE he'll be on Chat tonight."

6. You obsess with much glee, "Gerry has a computer...and he knows how to use it!!!!"

7. You find yourself asking aloud, "Did he REALLY mean what he said about the 3:00 a.m. thing and does he REALLY wear a size 11 shoe?" Then smile broadly.

8. You catch yourself speaking in a Scottish accent for no apparent reason.

9. You change the decor in your bathroom to accommodate your new yellow towels.

10. The "G-Spot" takes on a whole new meaning.

11. You spend days wondering why a Scot would be named "Andre." :huh:

12. You buy “Mrs. Brown” just for the skinny-dipping scene and play that one scene in slow mo and super slow mo, over and over and over again. (Okay, so maybe that was just me.)

13. You have a picture of Gerry in your wallet, and refer to him as “your man, Gerry.”

14. You spend your hard-earned cash assigned for other “non-essential” items (phone bill, power bill, etc.) on essential Gerry related items.

15. You go shopping for your “real-life” man and finding yourself thinking, “OMG!!! Gerry would look so :censored: hot in that!!!

16. You have to buy a new hard drive to accommodate all your pics and videos of Gerry.

17. You search through a couple hundred $5.50 DVDs at Wal-Mart because an employee said Dracula 2K might be there.

18. You can't possibly walk past Starbucks without dreaming that maybe... *sighs*

19. You refer to the Gerry wallpaper on your computer as your “happy place.”

20. While looking up at the clouds you SWEAR there's a cloud in the shape of a "G"...funny thing is, the GAL next to you sees the same thing!!!

21. Multiples (Gerrygasms) are an every day occurrence!!!

This list will continue to grow as you tell me your addictions...

Below is a very simple 10-step program to help foster our addiction.

1. You must admit you have GALS. This is so important to further your addiction. Yes, this support group wants to nourish your addiction, not starve it. We are here for you.

2. Come to believe the Great and Powerful Gerry is greater than ourselves and only our visions and/or fantasies can keep us addicted. To truly become addicted, however, one must at one time in ones life made the Gerry Mecca Journey (GMJ) and meet him in person.

3. Make a decision to turn our will and lives over to our addiction to Gerry.

4. Make a searching and fearless immoral inventory of our fantasies of Gerry.

5. Lend your support to those who have GALS, but are yet unable to admit it.

6. Watch every movie (more than once) in which Gerry has a role. To be truly addicted, you must develop a love of all Gerry genres (yes, this includes “Tale of the Mummy” and “Dracula 2000”).

7. Frequently quote lines from Gerry films. Memorize them, use them, replace old phrases with new Gerry lines. This will prove to all your serious commitment to your addiction.

8. Know Gerry’s biography better than you know your own. True GALS will know all Gerry’s trivia. Study it, soak it in, become one with Gerry's biography.

9. Give generously (money folks) to the website which has fostered your addictions and allowed your fantasies to take flight.

10. Convert all who are convertible to this syndrome. This is the true mark of GALS. Do not judge - for your next recruit may be your boss!

As this is a relatively new Syndrome, the above guidelines are subject to editing, amending or scrapping all together as we GALS deem necessary.

The first step to true addiction is to admit you have GALS!! I will begin the group.

"My name is Dr. Em and I have GALS."

All are welcome to join in our group. GALS, we must not suffer in silence!!! We now have a voice!!! Let it be heard!

*Disclaimer: We GALS appreciate not only Gerry’s royal hotness for which there is no rival, we indeed, also recognize his abundance of talent, soul, passion, spirit, sense of style and humor, sincerity...can I stop now? Our addictions are all-encompassing and we embrace Gerry EVERY WHICH WAY WE CAN!!!*

To Cleobethra for our “Warning Label.”

Happy New Year to the wonderful GALS of the SC.

It has been great getting to know you all. Even though I lurked more often than I posted, I enjoyed the time I spent her on GALS, both up here in the fresh air and in the gutter.

I will not be around for a while, cable & internet expenses are some of the expenses that I need to cut back on, so I will not have access to the net either at home or at work. Expect I will be on withdrawal from GALS for a while, but by logging on only occasionally the last few months, I think I've weaned mysefl enough.

Hopefully, my financial situation will improve and I'll be seeing you all again.

[Abrock]

Aaaack, I'm so sorry to hear about that, Ann!! I pray your financial situation DOES improve... visit us when you can, luv!

~Mel

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

[irish]

Oh Ann...nooooooo....I'm going to miss you! I will send you some snail mail so you won't be totally without Gerry and his gals!

Frannie, on the closing of your new home and your sucessful New Years Eve Party! You go girl! I will be waiting for you in the lobby Thursday ....now don't disappoint me!

Gerry, to you! May 2008 be even more spectacular for you than 2007!!! Your time has finally come and now all the world knows what we've known for years!

hugs to all!

love,

Sue

[Guest DonnaKat]

You are least compatible with those with the Life Path numbers 1, 3, 5 & 9.

HAHA!!! I'm a "1"....I guess that means we'd be at each other's throats!

Good morning, everyone...and welcome back to work. It's cold and I want to go back home and back to bed.

And I don't have a new calendar on my office wall. That stinks. How am I gonna know what day it is?

[Paige]

Hi everyone!!!! How did your New Year's go?

Mine was ok..I got some good things out of it. I got some Christmas presents from my Dad and Stepmom, and I have a new boyfriend!! Wait...whoa....Did I just say new boyfriend? Uhhhh yeah I guess I did lol...So I guess I should tell...if you ever go to my myspace and see the name nemisis that is him but his real name is John and he is a sweetheart although I know he can look a little scary especially to you "old" women. But really he's funny and he and I share alot of similarities...

Ok I should just shut up because I have to leave here in a few minutes *walks away blushing*

Paige

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

Thanks Lisa...now all of us are running our numbers and unfortunately...I'm supposed to be very compatible with Gerry.

I don't see it...

And I'm less compatible with the other guy...pooh!

Donna, doesn't matter what day it is when you work. The only days that matter are your days off! Which I am already looking forward to in two more days!!!

My boss is evil. He wants me to start coming in an hour earlier to meet with me...and he wasn't even here!

Awww...congrats Paige. No wonder I didn't hear from you.

The first guy I dated, we met on New Years' Eve and broke up by the end of Feb...sad...well, he cheated on me, as they all did...but no worries.

~alice

[Guest DonnaKat]

Paige: Who you callin' old, you young whippersnapper you! Come here so I can beat you with my cane. I'd walk over to you, but it would just take too long...me with my walker and all.

But anyway...congrats on your new scary boyfriend.

Alice: I think I'm going to have to leave here. Since Gerry and I aren't compatible, what's the point? At least Steve Bacic and I are both "1's"....and we have something like a 99% compatibility on this other thingy I did a while back. I'm also supposed to be compatible with Chris Kattan...that kinda scares me.

But anyway, here's how I feel right now, except without the shield:

:intheshade:

My life is so friggin' screwed up right now, as of this moment I'm not sure whether I want to cry or hit something...or both. Maybe that's why I joke around so much - it's the only thing that's keeping me from breaking. I could just walk around flipping everybody the bird....except I'd probably lose my job and get beat up.

[Jo A. Quin]

I was just checking out the whole birthday thingy. I think Gerry and I would be compatible. Like that'll EVER happen. HAHA I did read somewhere that one of his soulmates birthday's is June 9 and that is mine. YEAH!!! I think all of this is interesting. Especially the day you were conceived (approx.). :boink:

[Guest DonnaKat]

Okay, well I WAS three weeks overdue, so.....by all rights I should be a Pisces and not an Aries.

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

Donna, it's just words and numbers...but Steve's a hottie, too!

I still think that Gerry and I would be at each other's throats, despite my deep admiration and supposed compatibility. It's funny, I've always thought that even though I'm still here. There are just things I see, personally, that I know would tick me off. And I'm not quiet when I'm mad. Those 15 or so minutes of PSILY was kind of deja vu for me...lol. Eh, just my vivid imagination.

~alice

[Guest DonnaKat]

Compatibility or no, it's always fun to get mad and want to choke someone once in a while. It's primitive and animalistic, it's exciting, and you can make up afterwards. Besides, who needs a boring relationship anyways? They're so...boring.

No, I can't figure out why I'm still single.

[Jo A. Quin]

I really don't believe in all that number mumbo jumbo or astrology. My husband is a Saggitarius and I'm a Gemini and we're "supposed" to get along, but we don't. Go figure.

A little bit of tension is good I think.

Although in PSILY I hated that she hit him in the face with her shoe.

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

No, I can't figure out why I'm still single.

:funnyabove:

If you could see the tears from laughing, because I'm in the same boat.

I agree Jenn. In then end, it really doesn't matter about all the numbers and words.

~alice

[Guest DonnaKat]

:funnyabove:

You know, it's funny...my parents have been insisting for years that guys are afraid of me, and that I intimidate them. For the life of me, I just can't figure it out.

I mean, I'm 5'2" for crying out loud. What am I gonna do to a big burly man anyway?

Men! They can take playing full contact sports with their buddies, but cry when their woman hits them with a skillet.

Sheesh...weenies.

[Guest DonnaKat]

I've been a good girl...instead of hitting someone (which I very well feel like doing today), instead I chose to vent my frustrations in the gym.

Yes, my dear friends...I worked out for my lunch break. Don't look too surprised...it's not like I've never worked out before. I used to do it (work out, that is) every day, but these past few months I've gotten really lazy...not to mention a bit too flabby for my taste. But that's going to change - starting today.

I didn't go full force, because it has been a while...ahem, since I've hit the gym. Now I'm a little sweaty and my legs feel sorta like rubber (ahem...from the workout).

It's a good stress reliever.

Working out, that is.

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

Good for you Donna! I'll be going home early to work out my frustrations!

Gotta get in on the kick right now, while I feel good about starting this week.

~alice

[Guest DonnaKat]

Yeah, but it didn't last long. As soon as I checked my latest stash of annoying emails, once again I felt like choking my boss.

Okay, so maybe it did do some good. Instead of choking his chicken, I flipped my computer monitor the bird instead.

Honestly, a woman should be allowed to take off work for PMS. It's for their own safety, not mine.

[Guest greyeyegoddess]

Honestly, a woman should be allowed to take off work for PMS. It's for their own safety, not mine.

:funnyabove:

It should be law. I don't know how much time I spent in the bathroom when I should have been working during those bad times. It was useless, tiring, and I still had to get the work done later anyways.

~alice

[phoenixgirl]

Oh, well. Gerry and I are not compatible, either. He's a 4 and I'm a 5, darnit. But at least it would be a passionate relationship. hahahaha

SIGH - I didn't wake up today until 10:30 am. I think maybe I'll go to the mall . . . return my jeans . . . get some lunch . . . just have ANOTHER lazy day . . . ho hum . . . the life of being on vacation . . . tonight I'm going to a pub and listen to some Scottish band . . . ho hum . . . what a boring life I have . . . (do ya hear the sing-songy voice???)
