Oklahoma institutionalizes most pre-K

This forum has a unique feel, we seem fairly close knit for a group of strangers on a forum. This group is close more like my family is close. We all come from different perspectives and yet, I'm regularly impressed by the respect people usually pay one another around here.

Anytime a group gets close though, there will be times when someone gets offended, rightly and/or wrongly.

I have a really close family and we cram 25 people in one house for a week and a half every christmas and several days on labor day. I'd be lying if I said that no one ever gets in fights during these holidays. In fact, this last week I got in a yelling match with my step-dad right in front of everyone! the fights though don't tear our family apart. We learn from them. We learn more about one another that way. It can bring people closer if they just hang in there and don't bail. And later on down the line, the fights aren't what we remember. We remeber all the good things instead. It's be so cool if as a group here we'd learn from our quarrels and move on the same way instead of leaving.

The family feel here in the forums is what makes it so great! When people leave because of misunderstandings or an unthoughtout word here or there, it leaves a void. Makes the whole forum seem empty. like a member of the family is missing. HS G'ma I hope you will come back. I always enjoy your insights on things. It's nice having someone with so much HS exp. here.
