Furry but comforting she was sometimes annoying but the Three Amigos' allowed her to stay as they set up shop in the garage.

Along with Paul Edmondson, Paul Deeds and Jay Reitz they spent their fun-filled days trying to raise money and creating the American dream.

Sitting at my computer one evening about two and half years ago, fumbling through the Internet and tired of writing for Helium while making mere pennies. I ran across a writing site called Hub pages. I had heard of Associated Content, Blogger etc. but this was the first time I had ever heard of Hub pages. Clicking on the link, anxiously I read and in a matter of minutes I had signed-up and joined. Clueless to what I was going to write about I went directly to the capsules overlooking the help button. Being used to other writing environments on the Web where the character of the writers were dry, boring and down right rude. Not ready for blogging and new on the Internet, I finally found a site that made me feel comfortable and welcome. Every night I would log-in to Hub Pages to see what was happening. Many times only a few of us were on-line or nobody at all. Believing in the site I finally had gotten my feet wet and published my first hub.

Deciding to take a stroll in to the forums one evening, I ventured into the forum. Fearful that people would turn the other cheek, I began to strike up a conversation. Needless to say we spent several hours discussing an unusual topic without a single argument. I cannot recall that thread so many moons ago but I do remember Misha, Sun Seven and jimmythejock were on there, with open arms they welcomed me and thus my writing on hub pages and making new friendships began.

In the past year there have been positives and negatives on Hub Pages. We have seen arguments, bickering, disagreements, and bans on the forums. With any writing site there will be issues and many of us have learned how to avoid them; however if all of us took the time to read the rules and threads that Hub Pages provides this would eliminate a majority of problems that have arisen. The help button in the upper right-hand corner of the page provides valuable information about the laws of the land set in place to avoid these types of concerns, issues and disagreements. I personally have been lazy and find myself looking to others instead of taking the time to review and update myself with the most current information. Have I been smacked on the hand? Absolutely but then I realized I was the person responsible for my own actions. Writing negative words about a site, is not a reflection of them but of you,
