My username on Yahoo is WillowWelf if that means anything. BTW, why would you _want_ to be friends with people who use Yahoo? I’m afraid of most Yahoo users, especially in the checker game rooms. ---

I’m afraid of most Yahoo users, especially in the checker game rooms. \*\* Alas! Yahoo’s IM was all I managed to download onto my PC before the IT Admins changed my permissions. I don’t go to any of the rooms that’s why I don’t have any Yahoo friends. I guess it’s because I am afraid of most Yahoo users too, and that’s why I’m using connection to this community as a sort of screening tool. I’d go to chat, but I can’t ever seem to get it work. Boo. So I thought I’d try to see who uses it here and if anyone would take pity on me.
