I felt pretty invisible until the first time some of the more senior/popular members (i.e. Villette, SimonandHallie, Alaska Yorkie) started responding to my posts. Then I felt more like one of the group, not a newbie wallflower anymore!
Oh, and also when I finally donated. That definately made me feel more belonging.
I think the feelings will only get more warm and fuzzy once I participate in my first gift exchange! Can't wait!
