I love this. I've lost 2 human heads! (fortunately not my own!); actually I prefer to say I've lost 3 chihuahuas and a guinea pig! :heh:

Which main board? I've been posting on the general boards....I've been reading some of the other July threads, but you all seem so much further along, I feel a little like an intruder.

I'll chime in I'm sure.

You don't want to eat me Ruby, I'm all fatty....the one's that have lost "a bale of hay" however, they probably taste better :)

Thanks for the welcome all.

The main board is Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters and you shouldn't feel like an intruder. We are further ahead that you are, but we really like to help people, so we would be more than willing to answer any of your other questions or help you with anything. It is good to have friends that have been there and done that, so that you have a bit more information. That is how I ended up on this board. They were a month ahead of me, so they could help me deal with some of the issues that I had.
