Don't feel welcome

I don't know what it is but I don't feel welcome here.  I have found one person that has been great.  But it's like being back in high school or something?? It seems there is a clique and I am on the outside looking in.  Does anyone remember how that feels??  I have tried to read the board and be a regular poster.  But it seems to no avail.  Have I done or said something to offend anyone?  I know I haven't met anyone in person from here but ?? I don't get it. 
I came on here to find people who were in similar cir****tances... and to share.  I wanted to find friends. 
I am kind of isolated where I am and that is making this even harder to go through. 

Leah, hon - sorry you feel that way.   I don't think you've done anything at all.  When I came on here, I just jumped right in.  I've only met just a few folks from here on one occasion.

I guess I don't feel like there's a clique.  I think it is just because some folks know each other pretty well, and have gotten together many times.

I'll definitely be your friend! 

Hi Leah,

My name is Michelle.  I haven't done any posting yet, but couldn't help making this my  first.  I have surgery scheduled and its coming fast.  I'd love someone to help me through the expectations and everything else.  I'm sure what you are experiencing isn't by design.  Don't worry about perceptions.  I'm sure it's coincidence.  Don't go away.  You are valuable and needed here.  I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers who don't post who will find what you have to add to the conversation very worthwhile   AND you can help me figure out this website.  Where do I create a signature for posting?

Hi..welcome to posting!

On the left side of the screen where it says 'Welcome Rosarosso', there's an option that says 'User settings'. That it where you do your signature at.

Michelle,

I was going to add you as a friend on MySpace but since I didn't know your last name or email addy, I couldn't. You are welcome to add me. There are several of us on here that have MySpace.

Michelle, love your avatar!  My surgery is the week before yours.  Welcome, and keep posting!

We've got to get Leah's spirits back up, bless her heart.

I have to leave in awhile to pick up some stuff for an office party (got roped into making the main course...lol) and a baby shower, but I'll be popping in frequently throughout the day.

Thanks!  I'm ophthalmic tech....I do eyes!

Thanks for the welcome!  I'm headed for a shower and to church....I definitely will be checking back later too!

Maybe I can figure this board out today :-)

I'm sorry your feeling like an outsider Leah. (( HUG )) It was really nice meeting you at support group a couple weeks ago. I wish i had some words of wisdom but some people just pretty much post to the daily post, others only post when they think they can help the original poster, etc..

I'm just right up the road and even though I'm babysitting part time now I'd be happy to meet up with ya some time to hang out. :)

Leah,
I am so sorry you feel this way. The board is for everyone. Dont give up. You are welcome here, we all are. Hugs, Love & Blessings, Gail
