Welcome Amy! Have you been "lurking" or are you one of our brave souls who sees us and hops right in to conversation?

Either way, we're glad to hear from you. Are you in the US? Kind of sounded like it from your post, but in today's increasingly shrinking world, one can't always tell.
A warm, southern welcome from Alabama! Great to have another voice in the mix. Speak up in any forum, in any conversation, whenever you feel like you can agree, add something, or disagree. Our one caution to everyone is this -- Everyone has a right to their own opinions, thoughts, and ideas, and while we may not all agree, we have the right to agree to disagree.

Translation: we try to voice our counter-thoughts in a friendly, non-confrontational way -- to starting flame wars here.

Not that you would, or even thought of it, but just my way of reminding everyone. [sheepish grin]
Again, a warm welcome! Hope to see you posting often!
