Welcome to ihatedialysis.com Tweety,

It is a pleasure to have you join our family here. You will learn a lot from reading this site and I hope that it will be your most trusted source for straight no B***s**t advice. It may not always be what you want to hear but it will be what you need to hear. There are a lot of fun things to do here as well like getting involved in the story written by our members. I urge you to get involved in our chat when ever you see some members there. Then there is the joke thread and the funny picture thread. I could link you to all those but then you wouldn't want to go anywhere else on the site so enjoy your surf and we will see around the forums. Remember once you join the family there is no way out.
