It seems lately that every day I see someone new posting. I want to welcome everyone to Country Families. Any topic relating to living in the country and family life is welcome. The main rule to remember is to be kind and helpful in your questions and your replies. No sarcasm, mean-natured post or answers are allowed. Absolutely no profanity.

I have found this site to be one of the nicest on the net, that I have encountered. Sometimes I scan through others and I just cringe, people seem to just wait for the opportunity to be unkind. If you haven't posted, don't feel that anyone will berate you, as everyone here is very helpful.

Remember the question you aren't asking may be just what someone else wants to know also!!!
