Hi Roberta,
Welcome to the BWS forum. We are happy you have found us, and hope you will stay and contribute on a regular basis.
I do need to alert you and other new members to our rules, as we only have two of them, but they are important - and we do insist that everyone follow them. Normally they are posted fairly prominently, but I can't seem to find them at the moment. Not sure why they disappeared. But, here they are again

Here you go:
Welcome to the forums!
One of the many things that we all love about the BWS forums is that we only have two rules. How cool is that?
They are:
1) Be thoughtful in your response to someone's post. Use the Golden Rule and you can't go wrong. If a problem ever arises, please email Anne at anne@boomerwomenspeak.com and let us know of the problem. We will take the action that we feel is in the best interest of the ALL members.
and
2) NO ADVERTISING in the forums unless you are a member of the National Association of Baby Boomer Women NABBW. If you want to buy advertisement for the BWS homepage, you can email Anne at anne@boomerwomenspeak.com and I will give you the rates.
If you advertise in here and you are not a member, we will need to ask you to kindly remove the ad. If you need our assistance, just drop us a line. We will be happy to help you.
Thanks to all of you beautiful people for your understanding. Although this is a free forum, it does cost Anne mucho bucks to run/maintain it, and the ads pay for that maintenance.
So again, thanks to all of you for making this your home on the net and for making it feel like a girl's night out. We love you for it!
Have fun, post away, and if you have questions, just drop me a line at anne@nabbw.com or send me a PM.
Thanks,
And one last thing. NABBW happily promotes our member authors. So if you have a book you want to promote, your small investment in NABBW membership ($75/year) gets you a published book review, the opportunity to promote your book monthly in the member "News Bytes" in our e-newsletter,
www.BoomerWomenSpeak.com, and an opportunity to be interviewed for one of our teleseminars -- on the topic of your book, or other relevant topic.
