I think people tend to naturally band together when they see the same kind of attacks coming over and over on the group that they exist in. Most of us have common experiences as women, and we all see the same patterns. You come to realize that the things we all might have disagreed on before shouldn't keep us from trying to use our combined voices to try to effect some kind of change.

I'm a rather shy person irl (which always makes people who've met me here laugh, but it is true) and I know how difficult it can be to overcome fears and misgivings and try to reach out and build bridges. You've always been a person who was about that.

Some of my closest friends are people I've 'met' here, the majority close women friends. Some don't come here much anymore and are on Facebook, some are still here slogging away.

I miss yardwork and obamanut2012 and many others. I'm glad to see you here!
