About to close down and go to bed 'early' for a change when I saw this thread - so I'm just taking a moment to say that I'm here to stay - hope that's okay with y'all (that's said in southern Hebrew)!

It'll take me a few more days to read through more threads and get used to some of the ideas and 'humor' I see you all like to share... but, as I said when I joined this board, I like what I read and am happy to be here!

Oh - WORDS - and I'll try to spend a bit more time thinking about those (uh... in English - unless anyone wants to learn more Hebrew) instead of just replying to what I read or whatever...

And - just one more word about my joining this board - already, in only a few days of being on it, I've discovered such a relief from the 'situation' (that's what we call it) around me. From listening to the shooting and shelling which happens nightly only a few kilometres away from me, for a little while anyway, I can escape into this board and even relax a bit!

Thanks for a good time and for helping to keep me sane during this insane time!
