(((Tony))) - Welcome to SR! This was the first forum I'd ever been a part of and pretty much wandered around the different forums. Don't want to admit how long it took me to find the "new posts" button on the blue bar above, but it was a while
Basically, you can post in any forum except men only in men's, women only in women's. The "stickies" are permanent posts at the top of most forums - really good information in those.
You're doing just fine - welcome to the family!
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
