New Here

[Guest starlite]

I'm new here. All of you seem so open and friendly with each other. That is so hard for me to do. I don't know how to start. I thought hi might be the place.

Welcome to AS, Starla. "Hi" is a perfect place to start. I'm sorry you have a need for a place like this forum but I'm glad you found us. I hope you find what you're looking for here. This is a very warm and friendly place where you are welcomed with open arms.

Welcome....As Ardatha said, "hi" is a great place to start...

Maybe do some reading, some posting, whatever you feel you need to. Whatever you feel comfortable with. I also felt a little out of things, out of the loupe, when I joined AS, but the wonderful people here made me feel like part of the family. This is certainly a place in which you will not be jugded. Good luck and welcome...

Hugs,

Nicole

You're entirely welcome and I'm glad to hear that. How about introducing yourself to us? Nothing heavy, just a little about who the person behind the name is. What part of the world do you live in? No specific locations, just general geography. Approximate age? Pets? Children? I'll even start off.

I live in western New York and am 52 years old. I have one pet, a humongous cat named appropriately Clown. He's the driving force behind my household. I am married for the second time to the love of my life and am an artist.

Again, welcome.
