hplady..That is so nice to say and so very true of this community! I can't say enough good things about everyone that I have had the pleasure to come across on here, the pictures of artwork, the compassion sent to those in need, and just the numerous helping hands. I look forward to making many more friends on here :)

I pick up after family at home and after children/adults at work - I am a librarian.

Sharonsews: That was awful for someone to call you that name, just awful! I hope he or she has a guilty conscience. It sounds like you needed an uplift and I don't blame you. When one doesn't reconize all the hard work in keeping house, cooking and cleaning and taking kids here and there and working too, is probably because they haven't had to do it because your're doing it all. People don't realize these things until they are in your shoes.
I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around! :thumbup:

I look forward to this board everyday. I save it to the end of the day as a treat and also to relax with people who seem like neighbors although we've never met. I too apreciate the contributions of everyone. I haven't started quilting yet, but all of you inspire me to want to. Thanks.

When the lonely bug strikes, I head for the board. You can be lonely in a houseful of people. I am never lonely when I come here. This is a place of caring, sharing, loving, helping and, IMHO brings out the best each of us has to offer. I love you all for being there when I need you and I will always try to be there fir each if you.
