You know something??? I've been following this thread for the past few days & I just want to say that I joined this board recently & I really do LOVE this site!! It's so much fun to post & comment and interact with all of you-some of whom I now chat with personally-I don't care what positive or negative thing you guys want to say about my pics (OK granted I've been slacking as of late-I'm getting back on track with that, promise) but still, I CHOSE to post here & share a very personal part of myself with all of you. I think we all know WHO our friends are here-the rest of the people are either new or not comfortable enough yet to 'say' anything. To those people I say, introduce yourself & let us get to know you-then feel free to interact with us. I have to say that all of you guys have been so nice & accomodating to me being a girl in this setting-I am looking forward to calling all of you 'friends' for a loooong time to come.
I'm just as sensitive as the next person, maybe even more so, but I also know how to take a joke or brush off a stupid comment. I think that it's amazing that something I fell in love with 25 years ago is now something I can share with people from all over the world!! We just have to realize that everyone is different & we know what we like, the rest is just 'fluff'. Don't sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff!!
