Just a note to say that I am very pleased that people want to be friends with me. I appreciate the gesture in the best way that I believe it was given. I am an open person who is able to discuss anything should anybody wish. Send me a private message if you would like to know more about me. thanks everyone xx

And to add

It's a great place here... but PM's , well you have to have been a member for a while, stuck around, posted around 33 before you can send PM's

So Thomas, on another note, from our side, the Mods and Admin, thank you for your contribution.

Glad to be of help CW. Although I'm a mature male with a lot of experience, and have a daughter myself, I have still learnt a lot from the ladies on this website. There are some things that I won't/can't comment on like, how it feels to have a period etc. Similarly, ladies would never really understand what men's feelings are about some subjects. But it's so easy to see now how the two sexes seem to cross swords and don't understand each other at times.

Thomas, I agree 100%.

If I can add, it's also nice to have a good age variety also. My kids are in their 20's and step kids around the same age. Nice to see their perspective.

I love the balance of gender, ages. different back grounds, but look at how many common concerns and struggles we have. Communicating when you aren't emotionally tied to the people you are talking with provides a good opportunity to see and hear things we sometimes can't "hear" from someone we are close to.
