........ .....  Hi Dears....  Just about every group has them.   So I figured you'd all be looking for the rule page so here it is.   That's the only reason I have it.   I don't know about you.. but I do tend to get lost easily.... didn't want to confuse anyone by not having one for you to find and read.

Most of you are also in other groups I'm sure, so you already know the basics.....like,  (1) set your member setting to read the messags on the web (which means come to the board here to read messages and do not have them sent to your email...)   and (2) don't have your email address showing on your profile page.    If you are new to MSN Groups and don't understand what I'm talking about, or how to make the changes... just post a holler at me on the General board and I or another member will help you out real quick.    

Other than those two things I can't really think of any rules to mess with because I don't expect to have the kind of ladies here that need any rules for how to behave.  Heck.. if we ain't learned our manners by our age then it don't really matter anyway.  The older we get...  the easier it is to just blame everything on that.   Sometimes we need a good excuse too don't we... and by our age, we earned the right to use it.   

 Just remember, we are a family-rated type of place....  so if you are the type to go wandering around in your undies ... please put your housecoats on dears.  And if you got nekked pinnups of some lover boy... keep them hidden away.   Tsk tsk... to think good, kind, older women like us would even ever like to look at those kind of things... broad shoulders, muscular arms...... ...nope, not us... uh uh... no sirree.... 

Nope... can't see no real need for some long list of rules.  Goodness gracious... women our age were taught everything we need to know about how to treat each other.   I sure don't expect to have to spend anytime monitoring this place for any shenanigans you all may get into.  

Howsomeever.....  please be advised.... I do so love my brownies and cookies... and if there's ever any of those two food groups floating around this place, well....  if they come up missing it's because I ate them all... and you'll just have to make a new batch.   Now... I could make a rule stating you all have to let me have some... but I know my ladies here wouldn't need to be told that.   I'm sure we all love them enough to not want any of us to go into withdrawals that come from not having a chocolate fix!  

So here ya' go... have one on me....

and just to show how generous I can be... here are some cookies for you too....

I do like to eat good....  can't think of anything better than brownies or cookies.   Well, except maybe pumpkin pie, or lemon meringue pie... or fried shrimp, or.... goodness, I'm getting hungry!

Oh yeah, back to the rules....  just be nice, have fun... and of course the stuff about obeying copyright laws etc.... we don't want to make any artists nor MSN mad at us.   So that also includes no stealing other peoples work etc....  aw heck... you all know things like that, 'cause like I said, our parents taught us darn well not to do those kind of wrong things.  But at least having written it, anyone visiting and reading now also knows we don't do those kind of things here.  

So Ladies...come on in, relax, be at peace, let loose, let your imagination go.... be creative, share your heart, and let's be good friends.   

There, them's my rules... that's all...  see ya' on the boards.
