Do you feel safe?

I feel just fine here... But then again, I've never been one who needed the approval of others, so I don't know that I count.

This is actually the friendliest forum ive ever been on. I think its cause its 90% full of guys. Go to a forum full of women and THEN tell me if you feel safe! Women are feisty creatures who tear forum newbs to shreads.

I once had a class of 36 ninth-grade girls, Meghan. Now THAT's what I call being torn to shreds!

Ugh I HATED being that age. Actually, I hated middle school. Around 9th grade, I stopped caring and thats when I made my real friends. lol.

Its seriously amazing how the atmosphere here in this forum is sooo different than in forums where the majority of the members are female. I joined a craft forum for candle makers and stuff and I introduced myself, gave a nice little "nice to meet everyone!" and then asked a few questions about candle making and not a single person welcomed me. All they said was what I was doing wrong with my candle making, half of it in all caps.

I was a very annoyed little candle maker!

Weight your wicks and melt your wax in a double boiler.
How's that for a welcome?

NO! I want "nice to meet you/Glad to have you here, etc. etc." and THEN proceed to tell me the info! Theres a certain etiquette, people! They jumped right into the "dont do this and dont do this and you are donig this wrong and blah blah blah"

(and I will have all of them know that my candles are awesome! And YES, I DO use crayons for color! *hands on hips*)
