maryeverett1 - are you a polititian maybe ?
I've been here forever too like Chattiesmom - seen alot ...and just want to say stick around - I too saw your thread and while you may have had a rocky start - people here do care -
any site this big is going to have a little controversary - and based on how long I've been online this site is pretty tame compared to others I've seen.
No one is hear to beat anyone up - many try to educate and have different ways of offering their opinions - which normal when you have so many different personalities
