Hi Cecilia,
I'm an old forum junkie and a new nomad. I find it easy to retain information from people who are relatable and difficult to shut up when I find a friend.
That's both good and bad. I'd advise you to stay strictly on topic with any output at first so we can get to know you, but.....
...feel free to read us like a book. We wouldn't be putting our stories and our information out there if we didn't want to share it, like a message in a bottle waiting for someone just like you.
But do remember that this is a public space and not everybody is who they say they are and you should be fine.
Keep firm boundaries with money, your private info (driver's licence name, ssn, main phone number, main email, etc.) and you're probably better off here than you would be on Facebook.
You need a PayPal account the first time you pay for a subscription, but after that credit card alone is fine.
If you're poor, we don't care. We want you anyway.
If you want to thank a particular poster for helping you out more than you want a $3.99 latte, l'm not going to judge you: there's a button to tap and a box to check for that too.
We've got your back.
Welcome home.
