Debra - I took a quick look at your earlier post -- sounds like you really want to be on the Newcomers board. There are a lot of people there who are in your same situation or just past the initial shock. You'll find some good advice over there and more responses.
Things are a little slow today -- lots of people off for the holiday. But don't give up. They're there for you.
