    Thumbs up So many rooms here! :)

    I can't believe how many forums and sub forums and sub sub forums, or whatever they're called, are here! I wonder if I'll ever get to all of them to look around. Right now I get lost but hopefully that won't be so some day.

    I've been coming here for a few years now and still haven't peeked at everything.

    So how far up North are you? I live in Western Michigan, Muskegon County not too far from Lake Michigan.

    LOL! I know what you mean Merilee! So many forums...so little time! And like the other ladies, I've been coming a pretty long time, and realized I'd never get thru it all either. So now I just come and click on *NEW POSTS* (top right) everyday to keep up with the "latest" of everything. Saves me from reading the older posts too that way.

    Anyways, welcome aboard, and glad you found us. There's just so much to learn from here, and it comes from a bunch of great and friendly posters too. Enjoy it!!

    You'll find your way around eventually. In the beginning I got lost a LOT but ended up finding awesome info and some amazing people. Sometimes getting lost is a good though. Welcome and enjoy!

    mombottoo,

    I'm in northern lower Michigan, just S of Traverse City & north of you. The northern pinky part I believe.

    My post count seems to be stuck at 15. At least I know I'm being seen, last time my post count got stuck (different forum) I found out my posts weren't even showing, even though it appeared to me they were...

    Posts in the general chat section do not count towards your post count. This was done to keep the spammers from just posting in that section 15 times and then posting their links.

    I think you have to post in certain forums/subforums for your post count to increase? I'm not sure if posts in the general forum count? But yes we can definitely see your posts

    Thank you Russ and Libby. Very interesting & enlightening! I hope I didn't ask that before, I'm having deja vu. Hope I won't ask again...and why do I have a craving for ju ju bees.

    That is my method too, once I surfed around the area a bit. Welcome!
