Ditto, Betty. I agree that most of the other boards start out democratically until personal chit-chat, which should be in private messages, monopolizes the board. Personal comments are fine as long as they are directed to the board as a whole, not to an exclusive few. I hope this board stays just the way it is.

As long as Tim and Patrice can fued in fron of everybody :!: :!: :lol:

I agree I tried a guild in my area, went 4 times got nothing out of it. they were all that helpful to a newbie. I felt like I was an intruder so I stopped going.
This board is the complete reverse. I felt welcomed and it seem as if I had always been here from day 1. Everyone is extremly warm, friendly and helpful.
I have checked out a few others but wasn't very happy, my home is here and I'm not leaving, (not without a big fight anyway lol) We have just the right amut of chatter and now we have CHIT CHAT what else can we ask for except the choclate. If there was a way to have it here we probably have that too.

Yes Vick I agree that Tim and Patrice should continue there fued in front of us Its are computer soap lol

There's a feud between Tim and Patrice????

Patrice is holding his big toe for rasom check out Tim where are you

He is in agreat deal of pain and having to work on a very bog project at working while hurting all the time. MimiSharon has offered to go help out on the domestic chores if he'll send her a plane ticket. Manwhile Patrice is holding the toe and letting Tim just keep on hurting! Poor Tim :lol:

all he has to do is come across with the ransom. i'm not asking for much.

the HSTs are already made; Diet Coke must be on sale somewhere; and how much could a few spools of hot pink thread cost?

he's just holding out because he loves all the sympathy he's getting from a few certain ladies here.

who also have toes.
8) :twisted:

He he he he :twisted:

Maybe he is waiting on a few to cough up the price of the plane ticket so that he can get Shelly to reattach it for him :!: :)

This has been my first experience with a message board of any type. One of the things I have found so wonderful about this group of people is how everyone is so encouraging. No one has a dumb question, and everyone’s work is just as special and important as the next. We all love seeing each other’s work and the complements are just like great big hugs. This is definitely a self-esteem building place. I have tried so many different things since I have been “quilting” with all of you. Not just in my sewing room, but in all areas of my life. It has been a great learning experience. Thank you all for helping me to grow and develop the confidence to try new things and to not worry about whether others may judge my finished project, well that is if I get it finished . . .
