welcome Yvette
ALL the above (shortened version) sort of explains our *looniness.* Having a
sense of humor (SOH) is NOT necessary to be on this list, but you’ll lose
out if you don’t. 
We go wayyyyy off topic (OT) many times. We stay on
topic often. We laugh, laugh, laugh, learn, and yes, cry often together.
Personally, I would rather laugh because it’s too easy to cry at the type of
an @.
Welcome Yvette!
I can just say that Jan’s welcome says it all. This is the best list around
(Of any type).
I am Christine. Type II, diagnosed 8/13/99. I live in the supposedly warmer
part of the country. FLORIDA, that is. But for the past few weeks it has been
downright cold!
Once again, welcome,
Christine
