i have been a member of this boaord now for about 4 months and i have come to the conclusion that you are the nicest bunch of beings i have ever come accross. I have always been a bit of a 'keep it to yourself' kinda person but i am amazed by the kind and caring words i see here every day for people who are in need of them. I have even been inspired to write the odd comment to people myself....would we be so free to show we care if it was face to face? i dont know.....but im really glad i joined up, and although i have never actually met any of you i think you are a really special bunch!!!

Yes,I would agree with everybody! I also have'nt been on the site long & already find myself quite hooked on the Message Boards & felt compelled to partake... However, I do wish people would reply - albeit briefly - if I send them a message. Good weekend everyone!

I couldn't agree more, there are fantastic people on this site. I have had some lovely messages, and thoughts and I am only too pleased to reciprocate to help others in the same way. On a lighter note.. I also enjoy joing in with the light hearted banter, as there is a great sense of humour running through this site. I have sat here and had many a giggle, really cheers you up. Thanks to everybody!! Lynda xx

you can make people feel better with kind words but sometimes bringing a smile to a face is just the tonic people need.........there have been plenty of occasions when i have been in stiches looking at some of the messages and some of the conversations on the chat board have had me splitting my sides too......good for the soul!!

You can say that again Christine ... I have only been a member for a little over 3 weeks, and I have had more help, advice and kindness from people on this site in the last 3 weeks than I've had most of my life. Todays thoughts and prayers for Harley just go to proove it. Elaine X

Christine, I couldn't agree with you more. Until I joined GC I would never have dreamed of 'talking' to people I didn't know For the first couple of weeks I just watched the boards and marvelled at the easiness of the banter that went on. I then got up the courage to try and join in and have been amazed at the response I have received. Best money I have ever spent joining this site. Jean x.
