Hi there MaineWriter, nice to meet you, and you are so right, i have had many lovely welcomes to this board and some wonderful responses to a few of the posts i have sent in.
Yes i know Lisa, I have emailed her a few times and talked to her on IM chat, she is so nice. She has just had a reunion with three other members of the Yahoo board, in Ohio, and we all got to see the pictures and a day by day description of the wonderful time they all had....and we all wish we too had had the oportunity to have joined them.
I have today, posted a thread on the yahoo board, telling all my friends that I am now registered on here, and hope that they will come over and join me.
We'll see what happens.
