Juliej.............I agree with you about "on line forums" and giving support. We can let our caring natures come out in force by offering support, advice, virtual hugs and comfort to those who need it without the problem that it will not be reciprocated.

We all know that if we are suffering, just need some comfort or advice that there are loads of ladies here only ready and willing to give it. We might give our all today to lady A because she really needs it and then tomorrow it might be the turn of, say, Lady D. But we know that when it is our turn for the comfort and support we will get it. BUT it may not come from either Lady A or Lady D who might be on holiday, off doing something or just "hiding away" as they are not having a good day.

So this is where this forum comes into is own for me. It takes the problem of "well I gave her support why can't she support me now" away.

Hope this makes sense.....................
