Good Morning. You guys rock.

I come here because unlike other boards on this site no one here is judgemental and everyone is so friendly! I also like how we have some "unofficial leaders" who seem to keep the board going day after day..

 Commitment to each other. We want everyone to succeed, no negative feedback. Maybe advice and better ideas, but given with caring.

 I think of a place I can make an ass out of myself and you guys will laugh WITH me, not AT me, lol!!

I have been here for a few years posting at times and lurking at times, I have always felt genuine friendship and true support from all the LW's. The other boards have advice and knowledge but I don't feel the support and friendship.

As a newbie here and waiting for surgery  I have found this particular group very uplifting and supportive. Thanks! It's nice to have a group to belong too!

Friendship, support & family - I feel like I have made new sisters and brothers here.  I would probably tell things here that I would not tell some of my family because we all understand what we are all going through and where we have all been.  I love the acceptance and compassion that you get from this board.

I think it's the fact that this group is 99 percent female that makes me like it ...........hahaha ah

I find this group to be comforting.  I get gentle advice, understanding, and reassurance anytime I post.  I almost feel like the participants speak with the voice of my mother even though I know many are younger than me.

supportive..helpful..encouraging..are just a few words to describe this forum..i could def go on but i would be typing for days haha...love all you guys!!
