Hi - I am one of the new people who signed up last night. My best friend has been a member for years, but I kept chickening out. (It sounded like everyone was so seasoned and I wouldn't have much to contribute.) At any rate, over the last few days I saw other new people with similar questions to mine and I took the leap. Thank you!
Welcome aboard, Borax Queen! LOL!!! I LOVE your screen name.
Welcome to FR. It can be a little intimidating at first, but you'll adapt. We're just a bunch of cute, cuddly little fuzzballs (to borrow a Rush term) with a few porcupine quills thrown in.
