Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 AMEN SISTER!!!! Thank you... love my new family! big hugs~ Loriann Re: I got a date! LONG... Hey Sweetie: You are so much a part of this warm and loving family already that if you didn't converse with us we would be wondering where you were. Do not mistake how important you are within this family. Your posts are kind, loving, supportive and helpful. I know for me that I am pleased to hear that we have helped you to regain your trust in people and I also know it is because we are such a special group of people filled with caring and giving. It is to bad that the rest of humanity cannot be the same. Oh well I will stay with the loving and caring folks here and the rest of them are the real losers as they will never know the joy and friendship of the good people here.
