I love this forum because most of the regular posters are filled with humor and compassion (well, and maybe alcohol too). My life is pretty hetic at times and I don't always get to post but I try to read and keep up on the threads. When things are really rough I try to hop on and read some of the more entertaining threads - usually just stopping by brings a smile to my face.
And I actually have met some of the original folks a few years ago, most are gone now but I still see a couple that post here. Eventually I'll get to one of the meets ... as long as I can avoid Rosie.
