Hi Marama, I have noticed your absence, along with many others who used to post regularly. Everybody was so friendly and helpful when I first arrived here and I miss that camaraderie. I am still confused as to how several of the most knowledgeable and well meaning people here became vilified. And saddened to see that so many of their friends (and mine) seemed to vacate shortly after. Name calling seems to be an acceptable thing now. Evidently it's okay to do that, so long as you then take a step back and show your "kind side".

Anyway. Sorry to go on, as you can see this place has gotten to me. In answer to your question, a mutual friend of ours invited me not so long ago... at least I think it was for the same group, though she didn't mention DF. I had to decline and still do, but am very flattered by the offer. The issue is that my time here is about to be sharply curtailed by.... gasp, a new job! I wish it weren't so (oh, you've no idea) but to work I must return. So taking on any more commitment at this point would be unfair to friends and just make me feel guilty as heck. But thank you, thank you very much for asking! Cheer and Happy 2019 to you, Bea
