Hello everyone, what would I do without the online community!  This place is awesome, and here, I will not need to purge!!  26 year old, bi male from Ames, Iowa... feel free to contact me for pix and questions, I'm fairly conversational...

Hi Sarah,   

Welcome to our little family. Over 1900 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another member.   

Janet

Thank you Janet so much for the warm reception... I think you have a wonderful profile pic and am happy to add one to the members of this page... reading through the threads has been wonderful and makes me feel as part of the group, not just out there alone!

Hi Sarah
Welcome. I'm in Australia and have no idea where Iowa is; except in USA

This is a nice group welcome and share your highs lows and middles.

Love
Cindy James

Hello, Nice to have you aboard. This is a great place to be. Everyone is so freindly. Janet Lynn makes me feel like a lost orphan who finally found a home. Cindy James, Iowa is in the corn belt of the US. It's about a 8 to 10 hour drive west of Lake Michigan. Sort of near the Great Lakes. It's getting warmer there now. It's our turn to get a sunburn soon here in the northern hemisphere. Genevieve

West of Chicago or more south?
I know I could google but it's not as much fun

  Hi Sarah, welcome to Susan's. Hugs

Thanks everyone for the warm replies... for information, Iowa is located one state to the west of Illinois (the state where Chicago is located.)  I live in the center of this small state, which would be about 300 miles from Chicago, slightly south and nearly straight west...

Hello sarah. I too am from this lovely state of iowa. lived about everywhere along the southern and eastern portions of the state, but i currently prefer to spend my time around cedar rapids when i have the chance. feel free to contact me any time, although i probably won't spend much time on during the week.

Wynn, this is an older thread (2009), and Sarah is no longer a member here. Hugs, Devlyn
