I agree with you, arianna, it CAN be a bit difficult for new members on the VIP board to begin to feel 'at home'. Lots of members ARE wary of newcomers who pop in and ask the wrong questions (the same ones that no one here likes, either, as in "hi I'm new where's the oxy?"). So I would agree that it's nice if you make a little post in the introductions, it's in the same place as it is on this board. I think it's a useful forum, it's hard to keep up with all the posts and the new people, so the intros are a great way to get started!
LumbarSpasm, thanks for the compliment. I usually am not so succinct; it must be all that oxygen that the exercise is getting to my brain!
Opt4now, I think we all completely understand about the money issue. Just come over when you can, and keep on being who you are on this board! I love coming to this board and seeing your posts. We'll hold a place for you at the table, ok?
Mamaw, have sweet dreams, and hope to see you over there soon !
