Hi Kaemicha,

Glad to see you here; it is a great place…sort of a second set of friends for many of us.

Be sure to look around in the various forums (I happen to like General Questions, Great Debates, In My Humble Opinion - IMHO, and Mindless Pointless Stuff I Must Share - MPSIMS) There are other fora that you might enjoy.

There is space for us all as you will find, but be aware that you will be “learned” as you sail along…in the best ways possible. We welcome new folks with new opinions, and look forward to hearing more.

This is some of the best pedantry I’ve seen here for a while.

By “learned”, you mean “taught”, right? 🙂

I prefer stories about sex. Not with kitties, though. Unless you are a cat.

Tellarite is a new word for me. See, I’m already learning new things on this forum. Off to check out other forums and again, thanks all, for being so welcoming!  
I will send kitty pictures as soon as I can figure out how to send pictures!!
