Welcome at last, vanguard! I, too, was terrified at first--but you get used to it. (HINT, all you other lurkers! ) I'm not a UU but I get along with them really well, I've found from my sister-in-law's church. I can say Howdy, Neighbor, though!
Thanks, tsuwm, for issuing the invitation. We can always do with more insights/points of view.
