hallo Lexi,
Hope you enjoy joining us. There is a whole range of people and interests on here and I am sure you will find something to interest you. You will find that whatever problems or hassle you are having at the moment, there is sure to be a GN who has been through something similar and will offer ideas and suggestions that might help. Another great thing is that for those of who dont sleep well, but do not wish to disturb neighbours etc, you can find something to read and comment upon at any time of the day or night. Of course there are many and varied viewpoints about things, but I do think that most people are both kind and helpful and are fine disagreeing with another member but in a polite manner. As I live alone in a flat, I would not to disturb or wake neighbours when my back is bad, but find coming on to gransnet, allows me to think of something else and often find good ideas and tips from others. So take your time, have a read of some of the posts and then join in yourself.
