Thank you, thank you- youre all incredibly kind and warm and it’s nice that youre willing to share that part of your personalities with others. I’ll admit that when I was first directed to this board (which I never knew existed or Id have been here ages ago), Nicole was very skeptical about my joining. She knows that I had been a victim of cyber bullying (not that I wasnt laughing on my side of the screen but some of the ppl were jerks just to be jerks) and had my personal info posted for the world to see. I got phone calls and letters in the mail, etc. Essentially, I was stalked and it was a harrowing experience. She didnt want to see me get invested in a new community board again, just for it to go south. We get on so well because she is very much like me- fiercely loyal and protective of loved ones.
We lurked about a bit and saw that this was a message board like no other that we’d come across online. Ppl here were being nice and not a flame war to be seen! She was saying, “too good to be true; wait for the other shoe to drop; you watch.” She has given up that attitude because of all of you- not just in your dealings with me, but what shes seen between other forum members, moderators and staff. It’s nice to be part of a community that not only accepted me right away and didnt put me through any kind of initiation ritual that so many online boards do to see if you are worthy of hanging with them (geez, thats so frat boy college… in general), but has continued to be even keeled and genuinely nice ppl. I can trust that the ppl Im talking to here would be the same in person. If youve ever been on other chat boards, you can usually assume with ease that ppl have an online persona and then would likely be different (probably more reserved or timid) in person. Ppl here know how to take jokes and understand when ppl are joking & dont get so bijiggity.
Nicole was nervous to post in my absence at first because she didnt want to put herself out there. But after she thought it over, it was an easy decision for her to make because of the consistency of kindness shes seen here not only towards me, but within the community and atmosphere as a whole. Thanks for being so good to her… and allowing me to say, “I told you so!” Ha! 😆
PS: LAM and LAP and KEP… your packages went out in the mail today, 8/20
WELCOME BACK.!!
I’m glad we did not scare anyone in your family. We may not agree on EVERYTHING but for the most part we get alongWelcome Back PT – I am not sure exactly where you live in FL but I am on the east cost just south of WPB and north of Boca Raton which may not be to far from you and if there is anything I can do to help you let me know. Glad to have you back.
Welcome back!
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

I use to live in south FL. Couple places were on Military Trl and the other was off of Linton Blvd in Delray. Then a place down in the Hollywood area. But I live outside of Orlando right now. Im very familiar with Boynton Bch though. Thanks for saying youd be there anyway! Thoughts count!
And thanks again to all who continue to welcome me back. Youd think I was away for a real long time! Im laughing cause it has made me look at my calender to make sure I didnt lapse for a total week and Im missing something real big, etc!
Hey- off subject for the moment but can someone help me with an avatar? Im avatar challenged at this time. Even the sites I download actual avatars from will not allow me to downsize it properly to this sites specs.
Ive always had an avatar and I miss having one. But I cant get one right no matter how I try it. Can someone either do one for me, or size a photo I send to you to this site’s specs so I can upload it to PB and finally have a face? Drives me bonkers not having one; Im so use to having one.
