that despite what's been intimated here recently, I think this board is nearly 100% about support and friendship. Yeah, we have disagreements from politics to dog ownership to fads in nutrition - my own view has been in the minority several times. But nearly everyone here has the ability to recognize those disagreements for what they are - differences in opinion - and not let it get in the way of the friendships that have been formed. Isn't that what friendship is about? Sticking around even if we don't always see eye to eye because we're pulled together by what we share? As different as we are (spiritually, politically, where we are in life with kids & family, etc.), we're all here for each other in the ups and downs of day to day living, which for most of us carry much more weight than somebody's opinion on a subject. In the name of my living God, I love you gals for it. I look at the board and see all the good that's in it and the members here, and it far outweighs any differences in opinion that I may have with someone here.

All I can say is what a boring world this would be if we were all clones of each other and thought the very same way.

I echo all of the above sentiments! Well put, everyone!


I'm drawn to strong, open-minded women, and I think that's what has attracted me to this board. I enjoy hearing about all kinds of things whether it's related to

Thanks for posting this, I think many of us feel the same way. You expressed how most of us feel. There is never going to be a time when everyone is pleased at the same time, and that is to be expected. I hate to see anyone get mad or upset and then leave. This place helps me so much, and although many people do not understand how we can be friends, we are!
