Is it me, or is everyone in this group on vacation. I come here every other day to try and support all my fellow shorties, and it's like you've all abandoned your post. That's ok, This short dude's been getting plenty of support over at my Artists Group which for any of you small-fries have any interest in the arts at all, I have to tell you the group ROCKS!
Anyways, I'll be back here on...what day are we on now? Oh yeah, it's Wednesday, so I'll leap on over here on Friday to see if any of you's returned from your vacations. See ya then.

" I agree, seems like the forums in the groups that i participate in are kinda quiet, but seems like people mostly communicate thru hugs, messages, and journal comments, which is perfectly fine. Seems like the forums are just used to ask questions or advice. -just my observation. "

" I'm sorry lilstubby, I'm seriously laughing my ass off right now because of your avitar. Quite honestly, I wasn't expecting the first response to come from someone with a profile pic like yours, and the name "lilstubby " that couldn't be more appropriate to fit what's going on here. I had to even take a coffee break while typing this to wear off the laughter. Just laugh with me lilstubby, it's healthy. Besides, I'm short too. But, you absolutely made my day right now. Too funny.
Yeah, lilshorty, something's gotta give in this group. Wanna help me LIVEN it up a bit? I'm an artist which means I'm pretty creative. Do you have any special talents that you can help assist me in waking up munchkin land? "

" It's cool, dude! Humor is a wonderful thing, I'm glad you got a laugh from it...lol. I dunno about any special talents, but when people ask me where I'm from, sometimes I say "Oz"!! "

" Well lilstubby, I just may be from Oz myself. Only, I'm the scarecrow, because I aint got any damn brains.LOL
And I like that you're calling me dude. It sort of re-vitalizes my youth. Whatever the hell that meas. Anyways DUDE, I added you as my friend, and you'd better accept or else I'm gonna have Witchy-Poo put out an A.P.B. on yer stubby lil ass, and have thrown into munchkin jail.LOL
I tell you what, how about if I start recruiting active members on the main circuit board(home-page) and see if we can get some action goin here? I'm thinking because I'm 5'6, we should make that the cut-off. Anyone over can't qualify to be in our group.lol
I figure we can have an ambiguous approach about it too. For example: You're giving a hug to someone with Bipolar disorder, and as you're comforting them, you end the note with.."by the way, how tall are you?" I mean, that's not exactly ambiguous-a little too straight forward, but you get the idea. So, let's get busy dude, we need to make some noise in this dead group here.
Over and Out.... "

" Well, I haven't been on vacation, just new to this site and support group. I never knew this group existed. I tried to join the "Little People of America" but was rejected because I am not a dwarf, just short. Even though this is a very traumatic time in my life, I just lost my husband to a motorcycle accident, I still have a sense of humor and can laugh at myself. So I hope I can give, as well as receive, from this group. "

" Welcome LilAmy!! Sorry to hear about your husband, that is a great loss, but I'm glad to hear that you are moving on.

Toddio, I'm not the scarecrow, I'm one of the Lollipop Kids...lol. If you try to throw me into munchkin jail, I will be forced to kick your a--..... well, kneecap.

Memis, just contact one of us if you ever need to talk, hope you are doing well. "
