    Default FV Community -- I mean you!

    I just wanted to say how much I enjoy being part of this community and appreciate the kindness that is offered here every day. I am a member of several online communities, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen people gang up on others just to be mean. Just today, a woman joined a weight loss board I'm a member of and was summarily skewered by the old timers there. It's so nice to be part of a community where there are no bullies and diversity truly is accepted.

    I can not believe you would have the nerve to even mention other forums! What WERE you thinking?!!!

















    (Just kidding! )
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    I agree the village is the #1 place. My computer was on the fritz for a week and I thought I would have a break down due to no village. Thanks to all of you for making this such a great place.

    I agree, this place is really great..Thanks to all the people who make it that way...and you're one of them..yep every single one of you!

    It's a totally different environment from anywhere else I've ever forummed (is that a word??) It's wonderful to have a place where no question (and no answer) is treated with scorn and derision.

    So thanks all around!
