SPS0913: i think for some reason it's like that for most of us. tentative at first. after awhile i jumped right in and haven't missed a beat since.
i was quite shy, infact a little scared to say anything on the threads at first. i had already experienced someone from cs making fun of a photo i had up...infact they made a whole thread about it. but i think i was really lucky...i had already met jeepers and he helped me through it. what folks didn't know at the time, was that i had, had a stroke...and jeepers was helping me learn to type again.
i was lucky. no permanent damage from the stroke. but i will always be grateful to the kindness jeepers showed me back then.
so some really wonderful folks are on here. lots of them.

LOL,,,,but really "oooby" stick around, Hate should not persevere here let alone anywhere..sure hope not.

Do you hear a sqeek? We must have mice. I better set some mouse traps. I still have some smelly cheese in the freezer I bought in Columbus Ohio when I lived there years ago. It wasn't fit for human consumption but it should make good bait.
Yeah I vaguely remember the guitarplayer handle. Looking way back at old handles it's strange how people come and go. A lot of old profiles are still up even though they haven't posted in years like rickster from NY and daniel who use to pose like a samurai. I know what you mean about hate. It's a very self destructive emotion. Not worth getting an ulcer over.
