Subject: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Well here it goes. I've never created a forum before. I certainly have visited enough. I find this way of participating a much more lively way of sharing, rather than cluttering up the mailbox.

While I was setting this up, I didn't see any rules about language or anything else being moderated. Even though I did set it up, I don't see myself as a moderator. I think we can all moderate ourselves quite nicely.

I am not suggesting anyone leave ossg-main or Linda. I am only offering this as an alternative. Another way of sharing what's in our hearts, minds. What's funny, what's sad.

I don't care if someone wants to post a joke. I don't care if someone's car broke down or kid has a cold. This is about us, our lives and doesn't have to be completely limited to food, if you don't want it to. It's all the other activities, events in our lives that relate to us and our perspective towards food anyway. If the boss is screaming at you, do you want to scream and yell in here that the boss acted like a jerk or run to the refigerator? That's what I am talking about.

None of us are above it all. We need each other and how lucky and blessed we are to have something like the internet where we can remain anonymous and still let our hair down.

You can add a book or a sentence or a word. The important part is that you feel comfortable and safe! I am just an average person, who happens to be unemployed at the moment. I sincerely don't think I am anyone special except to me. I have come to love myself and know that I am worth it. I didn't go through the hell of having my surgery December 14, 1999 for some man or an event, which is a certainty for setting up failure. I did it for me.

If you have questions of me, please feel free to ask. I promise to be as honest as possible. For me communication and honesty is the most important part of any relationship. Without it, we have little else.

I hope you will find this to be a nice break in the day for you, a mini home away from home, if you will!

Thank you for indulging me if you have stopped by. I welcome you with {{{warm breezes, light, laughter and love}}} because you are worth it!
