Default Welcoming Newbies To Our Home,

Some have left here because they think we're clickish. Have we become too set in our ways that we cannot welcome the new members? I hate that anyone thinks that of us..

I'm not a shy person and yet, if I came here for the first time and was met with such little welcoming responses, I would leave with my tail between my legs.

I was just in the welcoming thread sticky and the last three newbies have not returned. That happens way too often.

Let's try to remember how hard it was to be a newby with this rotten disease and reach out to them with a good welcome.

Thanks.

Oh, you're right, Sally. I'm such a slacker. *hanging head in shame*...

lets also remember that some newbies are also not ready to stand up and be counted yet. Some just cruise the site and are not ready to jump in. Others are starving for info and will eat it all up the day they get here.

I have been slacking about going up top to the newbie link. headed there now!

Guilty!!! I haven't been well since the spring and there are times
that I don't even check the computer for days.

I will try to do better. I can remember the first time I got connected
to Neuro and wanted to be accepted.
