This made perfect sense to me. It almost made me want to cry! I know exactly how you feel!

You see, I have a lot of fairweather friends here in my life, but that is exactly what they are...fairweather friends. With all of you, there is no gossiping, no hurtfulness, no back stabing, no swearing, no being stood up at the last minute and well, I could go an and on about all of the good things about you all, so to me you are not "pretend" at all....you are all the realest (not a true word I know) friends I know!!!

You know I have had the honor of meeting some of the "pretend friends" in real life. Having met them on line and then in person.. and I can say I havent been disappointed. Who I thought they were.. they are.... you know Brooke my experience has been, "whatcha see (read) is whatcha get with us farmgirls"....I understand where hubby is coming from.. guess it would be all to real if we all showed up on your front lawn (LOL).....

I so agree with you ladies - there is the feeling of community without the unpleasant sense of "politics" that pervades some of the other organized things I have been involved with. I feel fortunate to have found y'all

Just so you all know, 3 weeks without the forum is WAY too long. Oh my gosh! I was going into serious withdrawals!

I right with all of you I ck in at least 2 times a day sometimes more. My hubby calls me a computer junkie. But thats ok with me , he is truely understanding thank goodness. You all make each person feel sooo special. It reminds me of the song Friends are Friends Forever. Yep you are that. Melanie, when you do become the millionaire and fly us over please remember to send me a knock out shot, because Im terrified to fly but I sure wound not miss being there. Love you all Karen

maybe we could hire a big 'ol bus painted with sunflowers and daisies...that could be the mode of travel instead of a plane. How does that sound Karen?

I think a lot of it is the common ideas. i never believed there was a site like this before. I love to can, garden, and other outdoor type things. My writing friends accept this as one of my idosyncrasies (sp?). It's nice to find a common bond and be able to ask those questions you never could ask because no one else quite got it. You have friends for like things. My October writing group is a blast, but bring in a non-writer and they would think we were all nuts. Course we are, but we get each other. that's the joy of this site.

Whew! I'm glad I'm not so different than the rest of you. Since I joined a few days ago, I find that I'm checking in more often than not! Feeling guilty though.

All of you are soooooo nice!!! I love all the replies that have been received from this topic. I also think the bus idea is a great idea. I'll pitch in!!! It better be a hybrid......hopefully running on used veggie oil...or better yet, corn husks and sugar cane. anyhoo.....thank all of you for making me feel so, so...........normal?? I hope I continue visiting this site many, many times a day. I have come to realize ........it's not an addiction.....it's a life style!!!
Ciao, Kate

Whenever I feel "guilty" for spending time on MJF I think, well....I could be spending time watching a usless T.V. Show. Not that I have anything against watching T.V. once in awhile (we only have 3 channels so not much choice LoL!!!)but spending time here is much more rewarding indeed :)
