It took me awhile to feel "part" of PetTalk, it seemed like everyone knew everyone's real name and I had no clue. Don't fret.. it comes with the time you put in I guess. We do support our own a bit more than "newbies" maybe, but everyone welcomes everyone - if that makes sense.. Sometimes it's days between when I come onboard and I miss alot, it doesn't mean you are being ignored. We are a very large family and you are welcome to it!

By the way, I'm in my upper 50's but have met Ash and several other PT'ers at meetings and that's the BEST way to become real friends. If it can be managed. * hi Ash *
