all you newbies,,,
Find someone on this board that you think you can relate to and get that person to walk you through the process. Don't be shy. There are a lot of folks that have done this and can help you out. Even if it is just to be a sounding board.
I know every postie on this board has something to offer and can be in your corner when you need them. They all helped me. If I didn't have them in the beginning I would have had a much rougher time - I know it.
I had Connie, Susan, Theresa, Jon, Jen, Laurie, Kevin, James and Peggy ,,,,,and the list goes on who all gave me ideas and tricks.
So do it. Look at a profile or search their posts and see who might be a match and ask them for their thoughts.
DO IT.

Hello Kevin,
I am one of those Newbies....but for now, I'm just giving you a wave. You see, I grew up in Oxford, so every time I see you post, your address triggers memories.
(btw, I lived out on Lakeville Rd, and Oxford was still called a "Village" back then.
Maybe it still is...but it sure has grown up in the 30 years that I have been gone.)

Is there were I ask you if you want me to lie to you or tell you the truth? I actually don't exercise as in going to the gym, working out, etc.... My husband and I do crafts for a side job so I am working power tools all the time, lifting heavy items all the time, standing for hours and I walk as much as I can even to the mailbox. I have really built my upper body, I really need to work on my legs!!
