Trish,
Hi, and

to NT! I think a lot of the MSers are busy talking on our forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum17.html
The MS community here is very open, fun, and like you, enjoy discussing other topics besides our disease. I think you will like it here, and I'm sure others will chime in after awhile.
Also, there is a Welcome thread for newbies on the MS Forum you may want to introduce yourself on as well!
See you around
