1. Because I've met really special people here.
2. I get to be silly any time I want.
3. DocJohn misses Tuesday TV night to hang out with us in chat.
4. Patient volunteers who are our wonderful moderators.
5. Amazing writers in the Creative Corner.
6. The young people remind me of my youth, and the older folks keep me company in my dotage.
7. It gives me a public forum for teasing GardnerGirl, AllDone, __ZH, SweetC, Kimmy, etc.
8. If I'm having a bad day, I can come here and find someone having a WORSE day!
9. Sometimes there is funny stuff in the "Plants" forum.
10. It can be what we make it. I hope for all of us, it's about taking care of each other.

Big hugs, emmy
