    I never really looked that close ... I just thought they were little angel wings. LOL

    Now we all know
    I am glad that you got it explained to you Megan. I wondered about those signs for months before another newbie asked it. ( thank goodness)

    Welcome to the board!

    Okay, I have to ask.
    Other than being lonely and feeling like an outcast (LOL), what's the advantage/disadvantage of having "friends"?

    We should be our own friends! Does the ACS have something against self-appreciation or something?

    I remember learning on Sesame Street when I was little that it's important to like yourself -- and don't nobody ever tell me that Sesame Street was wrong!

    I think Mr Rogers promoted that idea as well.
    I like it.

    I've asked that question too, MyTurn
    I've asked that question before, and no one has ever had a good answer -- the only thing I've ever noticed is that you can PM someone a little quicker if they're already listed as your "friend."

    And Cher -- yes, but I thought Mr. Rogers was kind of creepy when I was a little kid. One traumatic event of my young life was when I found out that he did the voices for all the characters in The Land of Make-Believe -- because I loved The Land of Make-Believe, but thought he was weird, spending all that time changing clothes every show!

    Now there is a reason that I didn't think of Traci. It does help us to PM our friends faster.

    Or, maybe it is just to make us all think and talk about it. lol

    On my friends list or not...
    you are all my friends! My "friends" list is rather short, but that's only because I haven't taken the time (or inclination) to do a blanket sweep of the entire CSN site and click the + sign next to all of your names LOL.

    So, like it or not, you're on my friends list if you're on this site :), cuz everyone of you, at one time or another, has posted something that gave me hope or inspired me to pass along my ounce or two of hope to others.

    Consider the "blanket sweep" done!

    PS
    My daughter thinks you all are pretty cool, too.

    Friends
    You can add a friend but if you want that friend to be your friend they have to add you as a friend as well.

    Hope this clarifies things.

    Ok sisters~ the ACS knows
    Ok sisters~ the ACS knows that if we are smart and savvy enough to be on these boards, and opting to make friends with the other Kindred Spirits here, it's because we are ALREADY friends with ourslves~ we know how awesome we are, and it is a no-brainer, not-needed addition! No need to be redundant when stating the obvious!!!!!

    PS Two reasons having friends is nice: You can click on your friends list and see if they are online when you are, and it makes sending them emails much easier too, with the friends drop down list! Trust me, when I was doing the ornament exchange, it was great to have you on a list and not having to see if your username had a number after it, or was in half upper and lower case when I was corresponding with you all!

    This confused me too when I first joined. I can't remember who explained it to me, but, it made sense. Add me Megan too if you want. Welcome to the site!

    Yeah, you know you are all
    Yeah, you know you are all my friends anyway. I tend to ignore the plus or minus. So I hope no one takes offense if I don't add you because I'd have to add you all and it would probably just drive me crazy trying not to miss anyone so pretend I did it already.

    I'm upside down to defy gravity. Also as a kid I liked to lie on the sofa upside down and look at the ceiling and pretend we lived on the ceiling. Also life is upside down now. I guess that is why I like the upside down picture.
