Welcome Linda-one thing you might like to take on baord-just be your self. You
are bound to upset someone no matter what you write!!
Jokes will not be got, serious comments will be laughed at, friendly overtures
will be considered flaming, flaming will be considered polite, snotty arrogance
will go unoticed.
So just wade in and know what you mean. The rest of us have the choice of how we
interpret it!
There are some wonderful people here, flawed like you and me. It's fun and
sometimes not but it is a great place to be.
have a good day.
