[QUOTE="slsh, post: 419211, member: 8"] MWM - I think I also was shy at one point. Now I just cannot be bothered to socialize. I do fine if there's an activity, like volunteering at Wee's school to do calendar drive or the flower sale, but getting together just to get together? Not really my cup of tea. I find it very stressful, especially since conversations usually tend to veer towards children. I love my kids and I'm proud of each one of them for the people they are becoming, but let's face it, Norman Rockwell family we aren't. :winking: I hate having to filter my conversation to avoid pity or the well-meant but *really* irritating I-don't-know-how-you-do-its. I don't have to do that with you guys - you've been with- me for the last 12 years and you *know* we're a Twilight Zone family, LOL. Not only that, you guys really *get* it. I hope you will come. I've found in meeting people from the board that they are just as safe a place to land in person as they are on the board. [/QUOTE]
