Thanks Karen! Really I was a little nervous because I wasn't real familiar with the Chit Chat board

No really I am happy with this new FH on the Chit Chat board, you know how I like to throw out some "fun" threads, every once in a while of course

I am also very pleased with Vicki being the new FH on this board she will be great!!

Oh and thank you for the nice comment about the "reason for adopting" poll! I wasn't sure how it would do so I am pleasantly surprised
