Yes, it does. There are those who have your back when bullies attack. There are those who express sympathy when you really need it. As for advice, the folks in the "Cooking and Baking" and "Photography" groups....ROCK!!! If you are novice, or are just not sure, no one makes you feel stupid, and, if anything, some go out of their way to guide you.

Sadly, my computer problem didn't get resolved though. I think it may be something to do with IE (I can no longer see twitter posts, only the hyperlink).

There are some pretty awesome people here. You can find them, and sometimes, they find you!

Happy New Year!
