Hi, I'm new to this community.

I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 26 years, sjogren's syndrome for around 24 years, bronchiectasis with pseudomonas colonies, breast cancer and osteopenia.

Hi poems ,

Well you don't do things by half do you!?

I have found this site to be full of lovely helpful people and with the links to the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society it is very good. I have rheumatoid and Sjorgrens , my mother in law has bronchiecstasis with psedomonas but thankfully we haven't had the cancer problems and hope we never do . So hope u keep blogging And letting us all know how u r doing . If u look on the newsfeed you will see we have daft days too , such as having virtual strictly come dancing and virtual tea parties on lllorets porch which you are cordially invited too lol. If u like a bit of silliness to lift the gloom . Hope you are not too sore today, love Axx

Thanks for the welcome. I like the sound of the virtual tea parties. I'll bake some virtual scones for when there's another one set up.

Thanks to you too Bob, I'm looking forward to joining in the fun. I've already done the poll about bad feet, that was right up my street. I might inflict the occasional poem on you when the fancy takes me - got to live up to my name.

Ah lady after me own heart..I'm Loret and it is my virtual Front Porch that we began this silliness. And It has been me who makes the scones, so bring your along too. Since the next one is planned for Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving, I thought I would make some cranberry-apple scones.

Yes, I am in the US, in northern Ohio. Oh joy, this is going to be so much fun! Welcome here and welcome to my front porch. The conversation there is pretty crazy. I think you can find the entire sssion in one of the back blogs, titled Welcome to the Tea Party, or some such thing.

You have had enough of the nasty stuff, let's have a bit of fun! It is uncanny how real it all becomes ! And therapeutic! Loret <3
