I thought for a few days that I'd just leave the forum and let them revel in their homey atmosphere. Instead, I decided to give myself a role here, that of a newbie responding to other newbie threads - as long as they caught my interest and I had something relevant to say. For instance, I didn't want to see the thread about cats needing help in Bellafonte, PA to disappear and so I've kept posting on it, as has Catty1. It's the kind of topic I find very interesting and I want new member Melissa to feel welcomed and supported.
Indeed!

So, maybe I should give my crew a snazzy name and set up a cozy spot here? Hmm... How about... Babys babies? Heh, my 20 month old niece, Grace, can say Mama, Mamaw, Dada, Papaw, Uncle Troy, but NOT Aunt Angelique! So, she just calls me Baby.

Hmm. IDEAS!
