on the good side, when people get together here,
or on paltalk to chat or sing with each other,
there are certain feelings of comraderie(sp?)
which are built up that connect us and form
friendships. There are words, phrases and text
symbols for hugs and kisses passed around freely.
There are always those who will take advantage of
this friendly giving, but the positive far out-
weighs any negative from what I have experienced.
There are those who would share advice, grief,
joy, and we have folks here who notify others
of deeply personal events in their lives: births,
deaths, break-ups, courtships, from politics,
religion, and our connections here go so much
beyond music. I do not remember how life was
before mud cat. This forum came into my life
when a lot of people were going out of my daily
contact-parents' deaths, seperation from husband,
children leaving home, so my mudcat family has
filled a real gap in my life. The lack of boundaries
that I notice is that we have such an international
family here...and on pal talk...we have formed
bonds with others from all over the world, and I
am constantly amazed at the way that this technology
allows us to simultaneously chat or jam with people
from all around the globe...some see the sun coming
up while others watch it set and we are together at
the same time. The folks who would join here are a
small cross section, so we have some common values
in music. Even so there are trolls among us, but I
still want to keep coming back because i usually
come away informed, entertained, challenged and
renewed. thank you max and all those who make this
place happen! and to all who post and share.
