LOL Funny you said that - when I joined I came from a big (now closed) site and we invaded YT
....I found YOU bettyeanne as one of the nicest people I've ever met online and you still are....
Back then I didn't feel I 'belonged' here but once I started posting up a storm I sure did. This site has always been great and it's a far cry from the tiny little yorkie site it started at...After 22 thousand posts it still isn't boring and I've met so many wonderful people here I can honestly say I changed how I felt about 'meeting' people on the net.
We're all here because we LOVE yorkies - so we all have that in common & after being online for years now - I've met some of the best people I could 'meet' and also have seen people that made me shake my head in wonder (thankfully they're a tiny minority)
....
it takes time to get to know people on a more personal level - but there are ways to do it.....For those who are just getting started - try pm'ing someone - or try a few posts in the picture section to get started....it really works and one day you'll feel like you've been here forever. We're a huge site made up of many personalities. We won't always agree with everything said but the nice thing is we are free to express ourselves and have a great moderator here to keep it running smoothly.
