Please don't be discouraged, I too had a close call when I first arrived here. I was rescued...*smile* and that is how I started conversing with the one I would eventually meet. There are some on here who are just predators, though usually you would not get a thumbs up from other people. Take your time, learn, chat and don't be in a rush. Things come sometimes when we least expect them, know you ALWAYS have people you can call on for advice. Chin up...*wink* it will get better. *hugs softly*
