MMW,
I can't believe you can't read my mind!!! I always enjoy your threads, think about my response IF I had the energy. If I'd posted my joke (IF), think you would have laughed. I used to think I was a "thread-killer." Once I responded, no one else did. The years go by, I've got some who will talk to me in PMs once in awhile, but not a lot. None of the cool kids (who are they anyway?) sit at my table but that's OK. The reality is we're all just sitting at a computer, with "virtual" friends. My friend in the UK says his kids told him "All your friends are virtual." I belonged to a board I thought was really clique-y, someone "flamed" (and cursed me!!) at one of my responses and I deleted that board from my bookmarks!!!! (they hurt my feelings) Sometimes I make me be part of the real life around me here at home. I leave the peaceful virtual world. Everyone is out now, so I'm on-line. Sometimes DH. kids, animals, etc. get messy.
Don't go. View and participate when you want. Like your voice.
Some I avoid. Never read their threads. Yours I read.
