Our board is to be one of community and friendship. It is monitored and administered by a group of individuals, rather than just one person. We will have disagreements and arguments, but we ask that people be tolerant, respectful, and forgiving. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. Please feel free to share good news, a funny story, an enlightening link, or anything that has brightened your day. Gripe about the neighbors, the in-laws, your job, the person in the next cubicle, and feel safe. The spelling police also do not exist on this board, so relax and please do not feel you have to defend a misspelling or typo. Enjoy your stay!
