    Peter, It is interesting to imagine how people are in reality. I have a very good impression from the contacts I have had with a few here. There is a word - 'avid' - that I haven't used before, but maybe it is how I would guess you are. I hope it is a nice word.
    'avid' having or showing a keen interest in or enthusiasm for something. I believe that would describe or stick on most people.

    Yes, many at least. Peter certainly gives me that impression.

    I'm not very aware of 'avid' as a word so maybe it's not in use so much in my neck of the woods, but I am one of life's enthusiasts. I don't know how that comes over in forums. Probably makes me a loud mouth with too much to say, but it seems to get people cleaning the beaches with us. I think people like working with an enthusiast. We've had a few teenage volunteers in the group who are working towards volunteering awards and I love all the idealist drive to make the oceans free of plastic. That energy makes cleaning up a beach feel more like you are saving the planet! Perhaps I'm an avid beach cleaner. I think working with the young keeps you young.

    You must have missed this: 'avid' having or showing a keen interest in or enthusiasm for something. I believe that would describe or stick on most people.

    Stick around you add to the STG Thread! 😉

    There have been times where many were on the same page, and stuck together. It doesn't happen a whole lot though. 😉 Exceptions being the little groups, but even they were on the same page with certain issues which have come up over the years.

    A family that picks (on others) together, sticks together. 😲

    You make an excellent point indeed.

    Did you have razor blades for breakfast, if so stick to them! 😉

    And that's likely because, every once in a while, someone else sticks in a response eh?
