Hi Amy: Welcome to the nut house. I'm copying your message into the Over-35 thread where more people will see it. That's the real "meeting room" and everything else is sort of a side vacation. You'll be able to tell from the dates on the message board which threads are current.
When you have a year, sit yourself down, grab your favorite beverage and just start reading whatever interests you. If a thread hasn't been used in a while and it's something you're interested in, just post a message and it will undoubtedly start back up. The last few days we seem to be mostly in Over 35, Reality Shows, Idol Chit Chat (probably the first place you went), Fun and Games -- and we can always count on Corzak to be in the tech room (well, when he's not working or doing something sensible with his family). You'll find we all have our own warped sense of humor - very diverse. Hope you'll just find some threads you enjoy and jump right in. I promise, we may argue once in a while, but we never bite and the support in this club is terrific!
Looking forward to seeing pics of you and your family when you feel comfortable enough to post.
