P.S. FYI ~ I AM LETTING ALL NEW MEMBERS KNOW THIS.....IT IS EASIER TO "COMMENT BACK" TO OTHERS, RATHER THAN LEAVING A COMMENT ON YOUR "OWN" PAGE, AS THEY MAY NOT SEE IT WHEN THEY DO RETURN TO YOUR PAGE. AND SOMETIMES IF YOU GET A LOT OF COMMENTS, IT MAY NOT SHOW ON THIS PAGE, AND YOU'LL HAVE A SECOND PAGE OF COMMENTS TOO =)
Also, when choosing what emails you want and don't want to receive from this website, please make sure to have a check in the box to receive any mass distributed emails to the entire network, in case I need to inform everyone of something going on with the site! I'd appreciate it, thanks!
