Hi Jo
No reason to be shy. You have know found a family of people to talk to. There are basic rules to follow that Janet will post, that are also on the Introduction page.
Tell us about yourself. You may be feeling nervous so take your time. I'm Cindy I live in Adelaide South Australia. Lots of people here from lots of places.
Have a read of the boards. Get comfy. Take a big breath; because the next comments need to be understood. You are no longer alone. We understand. We can help. Talk and join the gang, few of us bite, most of us try to find laughs, support, chat and friends. Works for me.
Hugs
Cindy
