hi - you may have received an email from MSN stating that it's dropping its groups service.  one option group owners have is to "migrate" the existing messages, and layout, etc. to something called Multiply - a partner site.  If I did that, the members here would receive an invitation to rejoin the group.  I also have the option of starting from scratch with some other online service, like Yahoo.  This hasn't been a very active group - so my feeling is to let this group go.  In that case, if you have enjoying chatting with someone here, you should exchange email addresses.  Also, if someone wants to take over and run this group, I could make you owner -- I think -- and you could then switch over the Multiply. Let me know your thoughts on this.  We have until sometime in January.  I would be sad to let this group go but again, there are only a handful of you who share what's going on in your lives or offer advice or ask for support - even though we have well over 100 members (on paper, anyway).  I value those of you who have made use of this support group, but I don't know that I want to keep things going on a different site.... So, let me know what you would like to do, OK? --- Brenda
