Any dead links will be corrected as time allows. Part 1 of 4 Welcome Newbies to the AMF FMily and alumni might find items of interest too, A giving, generous, gentle spirit named Rose aka TNLittleRiver posted a welcome package here monthly. I kept a copy in 2001 knowing eventually I'd offer what I could. Because Rose cared she wrote to newbies: "For your own safety, please do not disclose any personal information on the boards or in the chat rooms; also limit your personal information in emails until you feel you can completely trust that person. People are not always who they appear to be. Though most people you will meet here are sincere, not everyone is as honest and trustworthy as we would hope." Her beautiful sign off: O'siyo My Friends <A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/ma/shayni/page2.html"> http://www.angelfire.com/ma/shayni/page2.html</A> (a site that brings me much peace) I could never do her personal warmth justice yet when she stopped posting, I felt a 'disturbance in the force'. Since Ben Obi Wan Kenobi was not available, here are links as Rose had them in addition to mine excluding her extensive personal information. Below should all be working links concerning fibromyalgia and related issues.
