  We are snarky, but only in a funny way, we don't make newbs feel unwelcome or stupid for posting things.

  I love how sweet you ladies are.... you were so welcoming to me, and have continued to welcome me even if I "no show" for a couple days.

   

  Also, I am always loving the recipes and food ideas that are posted, they are super helpful!

  I also like our small-ish group. It keeps it close knit.

  I like that we are a smaller group as well.

  It's not cliquey.

  So so so many of the boards are.

  I second everything everyone said.

  Not snarky, welcoming of new posters, not  cliquey, drama free.

  I agree with the smallness. I think it's easier to recognize and get closer with people when it's not overwhelming and huge.  And when I'm MIA because I'm busy or have a sick kid (UGH) I don't feel like I missed 7000 posts.

  Agree to all the above, small cozy group. Very supportive group.  Lack of snark and very welcoming of new folks and occasional posters.

  What everyone else said. I especially like that we can talk about touchy subjects with compassion and open-mindedness.

  I like the smallness. And the lack of inappropriate snark. (Some snark is always appropriate!)

  I hate that I never get time to come post anymore!
