Welcome! You're right in assuming that you'll get lots of help here, so don't be afraid to ask! Make sure you read all of the RULES/STICKIES before you get into LPF!
Don't forget to put your location in your Sig if you
haven't yet done so. This way we know where you
are from.
Enjoy your stay...
BTW... Any new members that feel is a wasteful to
to search for answers to their questions that are
easily found on the Forum can contact/PM member Eudaimonium here..
Welcome to LPF. Its nice to run across someone else from California here and there. I am sure you will find the help you need around here. There is such a wealth of info around here that it will take some time. Just spend some time reading and doing research on your own then if you still can't find what you need feel free to ask.
