For those who don't know, allow me to introduce myself.
I'm DesertGrandma. Desert, because I live in the desert, and Grandma because I am one. Clever, eh?
I innocently wandered here just about a year ago, after purchasing my Kindle1. You know, that device thats getting the crap beat out of it in my poll. (click on the link).
Being totally ignorant, I just kept asking questions, and people kept answering them. No one swept me out with the trash, so I kinda just ............stayed.
I like to travel the boards, but have learned to not get involved in TOO serious discussions. There-in lies the road to hell. Trust me.
I like helping people, when I can.........or at least directing them to where they can get help.
I like meeting new people, and saying "hi, and welcome to MobileRead." Cassidym is better at this........
I love the unconditional acceptance I've found here. The members are truly the 'wings under my feet'. So many times, I've been sad, mad, depressed, and this place, just reading the posts, has made me feel better.
Has anyone noticed I like doing polls, also?
We are a microcosm (sp?) of what the real world could be like. People chatting, disagreeing, but always being able to stay civil. Almost always.
People supporting one another, regardless of cultural differences, race, sexual orientation, religion, or lack thereof.
I don't know how, or why, but somehow we've all found one another.
And we are continually finding ourselves welcoming 'newbies'. Some stay, some don't.
Those who stay.........become one of us.
Thanks for listening.
