oakbranch - I'm also a Newbie here, so as a fellow Newbie, I say "Hi."
This really is a great forum to join. I've been going through many topics here and they cover EVERYTHING. Without this site and the support, advice and help from other members I would be completely lost. There is sometimes a little bit of a stigma with some regarding meeting an Asian girl on the internet, but here, there isn't any, only support.
I wish you the VERY VERY best of luck and happiness!
