Hi gill chick,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting.
Generally speaking, after all the essential name, rank, serial number etc, it's pretty much low key.
What do you want to talk about? Is a pretty general question. The rest will be ice breakers or conversation starters. It's not until you get into the hard core issues that you may raise a few beads of perspiration on the forehead.
Try not to be too nervous, as it doesn't go down too well when they burn you at the stake for not complying with house orders. "We have ways of making you talk"
To further relieve your anxiety, I believe in the States, you have now outlawed water boarding and finger nail pulling.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
