I have already posted almost 50 times. Maybe that is over-posting?

I find myself stopping by this site every chance I get.

You are all so friendly and normal I've been to some sites where it seems like the people are just not normal.

LOL, so friendly and normal? Stick around a bit longer. ;)

Seriously though, you have found the best mommy board on the web, hands down. I am glad you are feeling at home here.

I haven't been around for a while, but WELCOME!

I think that the people here are genuine. If you ask for advice, it will be given to you with a spoonful of sugar, and it will be honest. If you want to vent, do so without worry of criticism. If you are happy, we will be happy with you. If you are sad, we will be sad with you. If you are worried, we will worry with you.

I will try to be around more often. In case I am not, have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Breann, You are just fine. We don't generally make a habit of keeping track of the number of post a member makes. LOL Glad you felt comfortable enough to jump right in.

Yes we are normal. We get a long and we fight. We also laugh with and at each other. Cry with and for each other. We cheer each other on and bring each other back to reality. We have relationships with each other, truly take the time to learn about each other. This is not just a message board to most of us, this is our home away from home. A place where we can come and escape, learn and share... A private, safe place. (with a bunch of other people in it )

I have been a member of this group for nearly 7 years.. We have some members that have been together even longer... And we LOVE new people. Makes us realize what we have here for one and it also gives us a new story line to follow.

Keep on posting...

Ditto Bobbie! And I post nearly every day, usually checking the boards quite a few times a day. I've been here 2 years (geez, seems like yesterday!), you really get to *know* the members. So don't worry, we won't kick you out for posting too much!!! Welcome to the "club"!

My goodness, Breann. Who's counting (besides you)? Although it is funny - some of us recently did a search to find out how much we post and the numbers for some (including me) are huge, even though the search only shows how many pages (threads) you have posted on and doesn't count multiple posts to a single thread. If you are curious, go to search, type in your username and click on the box that tells it to search for authors.

Yes, this is a wonderful site. I've been with these ladies (at MomtoMom and here) since about January 1998, and they are a wonderful bunch of caring, funny, sweet (usually) people, and fairly normal (including me).

Do keep on posting, by all means.

I'm glad that I'm not over-posting! I was in the "edit profile" link looking over my profile and I saw where it had my "recent" posts. There were so many of them I was embarrassed

I really enjoy this message board Thanks for the nice welcome.

By Janet on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 11:02 am:

I check in about a gazillion times a day, when I'm working, and post all the time, it seems! I don't remember how long I've been here, but it's years. You are certainly welcome, Breann... and as for the "normal," LOL, well...

By Truestori on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 12:06 pm:

Welcome,

And post away! LOL

By Paulas on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 12:18 pm:

Welcome!

I check in often and read all the posts but I don't often post replies. Don't know why..usually by the time I get to it so much wonderful stuff has already been said, I guess.

I've been here since 1996!

By Vicki on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 12:21 pm:

Paulas, I feel the same way. Very seldom do I have anything to say that hasn't already been said. So I just don't say much!! LOL

By Rayanne on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 02:04 pm:

You cannot overpost. I am sooooo addicted to you all.

By Emily7 on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 02:13 pm:

It is hard not to be addicted, this a group of Great ladies (and gentlemen). It has helped me through breast feeding woes, potty traing problems 7 so much more.

By Dawnk777 on Thursday, December 9, 2004 - 09:50 pm:

I can't stay away! Although, some of the problems with really young kids, I can't remember anymore what I might have done with mine, since mine are 12 and 15. So, sometimes I don't post, but I can usually find enough to chat about!
