Oh my, Pony, this is * SUCH* a TERRIBLE place to hang out and look for help...why, you might just find something for yourself! What a tragedy that would be!
Maybe Silly Dilly the Pretentious Pickle will just bend your ear!
Seriously, you, and me, and DailyDi are all giving peoplle, not used to asking for things in return, and willing to work. I am here because of an isolation problem I have at work, and I get friendly social interaction in return for my writing, and a chance to be a gifted kid. I don't know what dailyDi is getting for his efforts. As for you, ask your group members, especially those who complain, for small efforts to improve whatever they complain about. Do it with a smile, and do a little less, just saying "but I am only one person". And try to spend some hangout time when everyone else is...just ask a few questions and let others talk.
I am not going to spell out my personal toolbox again tonight, but I did post it once.
