Welcome to the MDC online community HippyChick! (I'm in your DDC too )

I moved this thread to our "Pleased to Meet You" forum since that's a great place to start when trying to figure out all the ins and outs of such a big community. I'm so glad you found us though, and hope you have as much fun here as I have! :

I am glad you found your information. I know this place can be very intimidating when you don't know what is going on (and sometimes when you do).
