thankyou everyone for the great welcome!!!

rebecca, that was a teriffic story about your son and your dog!

ok, since everyone wants to know...
Dog Bytes over on Delphi forums. i absolutly love delphi's set up. it's so easy to use. and you can even set up chats for each forum or start your own if the moderator doesn't have one. Delphi has thousands of forums. but of all of them i love dog bytes. About (connected w/ delphi) has one (Dogs) but people can get snobby over there.) too many forums. i tried avoiding posting here. not bacause it is aweful, but because i have too many as it is. i have two local boards. (which have seperate forums. delphi, which i partake in about 30 forums, 8 which i frequent. i didn't need three more. (dog's, cat's, and everything else here.) but here i am! hi everyone. (don't go to Delphi. it's like being hooked on drugs or something. you get withdrawls if you miss a day or two...depending on how lively the forum is. one i used to go to would get over 1000 posts a day, while i've seen some that have died. and the average running forum is 50 - 100 posts a day.)
