JULY - This month we celebrate Canada's 150th birthday on July 1st. And on July 4th we honor the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 in the US. As well we're well into summer although you'd not know it with all the rain and storms we've been having. Let's hope for sun and warmth for July!

Please stop by for a while and peruse our pages. Visit our forums and join in the discussions. We have a board For Females Only where you can discuss sensitive and intimate issues and a new FAs Only Board. Only registered forum members who email us for access to these boards will be able to read and join them.

As always, this magazine is for you and by you. We are always looking for input from our readers, both SSBBWs and FAs. If you have suggestions, comments or want to see something specific let us know. And if you have something to say that you want our readers to see, send it in. Whether it's about your favorite store for clothes, a great book, poem or movie you want to review for us, whether you have something to say about acceptance or weightloss or just have a story to tell, please feel free to contact us.

So sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy your stay.
