to the group! Thanks for joining! I noticed that the thread was getting a little long the other day, and thought the same thing - I't s about time for a new thread. I have to reply to a couple of posts here, and then I'll start up my new intro thread. It's is a little ovewhelming at this point, isn't it?

I didn't get an invite but thought this looked like a great and friendly group. I'm Andrea, and the little picture is of my cat Tadpole. =)

Welcome to the group! And don't worry about not signing in sooner. I have a few new ones I've joined lately, and it's been a few days, sometimes a week later that I'm finally able to sign in! I'm sure everyone here understands.

Hello everyone! I don't remember who invited me! So sorry! I should have said hello a long time ago. I hope a group hug helps though!

I was invited to this group by Savi. I became a member a moment ago when I clicked on the link in an E-mail that I've received to see what this group was about. I hope that I can contribute to this group.

I just joined this Group and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. Looks interesting here! Take care my Friends and Hugs..................Kathy in Va.
Still hammering out some details about that sex thread thing. We're an open group without an age restriction, and a few members under the age of 18, so not sure about CoC regulations.

But then I took a good look at the jungle growing outside, and decided I should mow it instead, so the pollen from the weeds doesn't bother Maggie's skin! So strange how even small weeds here have pollen!

Elisabeth and Marsha! Come in and have a good time. And same as I've told the others - If you want to start a thread on anything you don't see here all ready, please do. You might want to make your first stop George's Stress Relievers if you haven't been there all ready. It's the hit of our little group here.
Man, I'm going to have to stop calling it a LITTLE group pretty soon!
Thanks so much to all of you who have recently joined, and to those who came out to support me when the group was brand new. I love you all!
Hello George thank you for the invite and OH George are you planning to give that treath to all of us??? smile...smile...

Welcome to the group Tracy! And many, many thanks again to George for all his referrals!
Working on getting that sex thread ready, guys! Hang in there. I think Marty called it a night, but hopefully she'll be back in the morning to get it up and running!
[send green star]
Kath! Wow. I'm going to have to start a new introduction thread pretty soon. Thanks so much everyone, fo coming to my group! And thanks George and Stacy for all the recommendations!

no sex AND no chocolate. Bummer. Hope we can help cheer your up. Marty offered to post our sex thread for us later, since she's "apparently the only one gettin' any" - Her words, not mine, but I agree whole-heartedly.
everyone!! Thankyou for your kind invitation George.
Chocolate..."SIGH"...ice-cream..."BIGGER SIGH"...SEX??? "REALLLLLY BIG SIGH" I vaguely remember that word... all just dreams....shadowed memories...lol!I can't eat anything with lots of sugar cause I'm diabetic...sex???? ....don't remember??????
Welcome to the group! Seems like you have the right attitude to be here. I'm glad you joined us. Would have been herre sooner to welcome you, but I'm having minor technical difficulties with both my computer and Care2 at the moment. So belated welcome to you!
[send green star]
I could use some new threads. My Wal-Mart stylings look snappy but don't wash so well. So, uh, I'm clamoring for yammering with y'all. What's on the chat list? Isn't it great that we don't have to wear black ties and walk around with martinis to chit-chat? I just love care2 casual gatherings.
Welcome to the group Anjee! Remind me to thank George for inviting such great and generous people! Hope you have a great time here! If there's anything you'd like to discuss that isn't all ready up, please add your own thread!

Hello everyone August 06, 2005 6:14 PM
Thanks George for the invite. Amy what a great idea for a group. I love meeting new people and chatting.
Hi Alan! You might not know where you are or how you got here -- but, it's good to see you. Welcome! You're gonna be nice -- right?! No flagging! (Sorry folks. That's a bit of fun from another group....) Oh yes, if anyone here wants lightning bugs, ladybugs, or anything -- Alan is the man to ask! (More fun from the other group we share!)

Betty G. must think I'm stalking her. But really, like I said in another group, we've got to stop meeting like this.
Oh, no! Another thread reverser. I think I'll go crazy if I stay here. Wait a minute--I'm already crazy. Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well.
Toodle loo? I haven't heard that since they abolished outhouses.
Conversate? Does this mean we get to invent new words in this group? I've got one: piffilate.
Amy, you have to be at least 6'14" to be high-minded. Below 4"9" is low-minded people. Between the two anything goes. I, for example, am no-minded.
And I'm sorry, but common threads will not change the world. You want uncommon threads. Or esoteric threads. Or piffilated threads.
I'll be nice and ignore the snide comments about men. Some day we'll get our chance to be equal to women. Except for the birth part. I'd rather take the trash out.
Hmmm, majored in elementary education, joined the military. Do I sense a connection there? Amy there are very few careers I don't like to see women in. One of them is jackhammer operator. Think about it. I also was not too impressed when a woman came into the men's toilet to clean it while I was on the depository. This happended years ago in a National Park. Ever since then, I've gone behind trees. Except for the time I went behind a moose in the middle of the night because it was pitch black and I thought it was a bear.
Also Amy, I see you once worked for a chiropractor. No wonder you know so much about men lifting heavy things. I wear one of those medical alert bracelets that says "No heavy lifting."
A thread named SEX? Well, as I learned in university, if you can't do it, talk about it. Chocolate's better anyway. Ice cream is even better than that. Sure beats a cold shower anyway.
I don't remember joining this group either. WHERE AM I?
You feel like starting one, go ahead! None of us here have quite worked up the muster. We offered it to George, who said he would show up if we posted one, and he thinks the lady in his life would be upset if she saw it!
As for me, it's just been so long, I can hardly remember what the term means.
JoJo (hope I spelled that right) Welcome to the group! Hope you have a great time here, and that it is a welcome break from some of the less friendly areas of C2C.
Stacy - Thank you SOOOO much for all the referrals. You are wonderful!
[send green star]
Allison! And anyone else I may have missed! She's the only new one who's showing up under members just yet. (That hasn't signed in that is) So, if I missed you, welcome to the group! We're so happy you're here!
I am not new here but I don't believe I have introduced myself yet. My name is Kat. I love to chat, get to know people, and have fun!! When Amy told me about her group idea I thought it was fabulous and couldn't wait for her to start it!! And Amy... Thanks Honey... I think your group is great!! I can't wait to be able to jump in and chat up a storm!!
I noticed that we had some new members. Haven't signed in yet, but I just wanted to say hello for when they do get here. I'm running around trying to catch up with all my other groups today, so I'll be in and out. To the newbies, if you're here and I'm not and
We look forward to hearing more from you and hope you enjoy the group!
Welcome to all the New Members! August 06, 2005 6:25 AM
We have new people here. Crystal! Thanks for coming by. I hope you do like it here. Ruth, what you're looking for is our speciality Hope you both enjoy your time here!
BTW - Ruth, send a thank you to Kat. With so many groups on Care2, I never would have heard about you if you weren't recommended by her on the group where I co-host!
[send green star]
Thanks for posting information and link for your group at GLOBAL ACTION CENTRAL Amy! That's how I ended up here. Also, thanks for joining the GAC while you were there.
so much for joining us! I think I will have to set up a poetry section at this group like Kat did in hers, so that you can grace us all with your beautiful words!
Stacy and Monica! So glad you could join us! Hope you're having a great time checking out what we all ready have posted here, and our on-going conversations. If there's anything else you feel like talking about or posting, please feel free! Start any new threads that you like, and have fun!
Stacy - I've had that same experience! When you go to your group page and you're looking at which ones you belong to and think, "Now, when did I sign up for THAT one?"
Might have been a referral from George. However you ended up here, we're glad you did. Enjoy!
I don't remember joining this group... but I'm here... so... hi? George, did you send me an invite??? Wow, it's been a looooong day!!!

Natalie! Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to hearing what you think of the site!! Have a great time while you're here, and I hope you meet some of the great members and good friends that I have found on this board.
So glad you found us. I've talked to a couple of people in the group who said they would invite friends, so I'm glad you made it here to hang out with us.
Yes, we are a fun, albeit interesting group! I hope you will have a good time hanging out here with all of us!
Live, Laugh, Love!

PS - Please tell me where else you heard about us (you said you kept running into the name). I feel some coming on, and I guess I owe a couple people some thank yous!

Hi! I think I got an invite to this group, but I was so new to Care2Connect that it got deleted. However, I keep running into references to it and here I am, so I guess it's meant to be. You all seem nice and have a great sense of humor, look forward to meeting you.

Betty! I'm so glad that you made it! I was hoping you'd stop by. Sorry I didn't send you an invite. I've been crazy busy. Sorry to, to everyone that I didn't get back to any posts that you made today. I got called in to work for 8 hours of our 12 hour shift.
I'll be out a while tomorrow, too, because I have an appointment that I just found out about. The reason that I got the last 4 hours off.
I noticed we have a couple more members than we did when I went out earlier, so thanks everyone and welcome to the group! I hope to see you all on the boards. Find a thread and jump in, or start one of your own!
Live, Laugh, Love!

So this is what I get for finally going to sleep! See why I don't do it more often, Lisa? When I stopped posting, I had 6 members and only three of us were actually talking. I just back, and now there are 8, and it seems like EVERYONE is posting!
Marty - Fact or fiction? I actually planned it as a group where you tell the truth and talk about deep stuff, but as you can see... I guess the group had other plans, but I am loving where it is going as this is the hardest I have laughed in a long time!!
Thank you all!!
George - I'll see what I can do about getting you that SEX thread!!!
Thanks so much, guys! You are the greatest!!!!
[send green star]
Signing in. Is this a serious group? Do I have to tell the truth about my life or can I write a little fiction? Sometimes newspaper advertising brings strange folks to your group, Amy.
Rofl....... Yeah that would work now wouldn't it Lynn! Well kids, I'm off for awhile, the bed and its covers are screaming for my company. Talk to you all in a bit if I can't get to sleep or later if I can.
Haven't you noticed when the trash needs taken out the "boys" always disappeared when we were kids? LOL...no offense to boys or men...lol. Just a thought of the past. Nah, boys like to talk about what? Okay idea for thread. Boys...what do you wanna talk about? LOL...hey I have no idea.
I hope my guys don't get offended over that heavy lifting remark and leave my group!!!
I like guys, really! All of my friends (outside the computer) are guys!!
You are wonderful. . .You are great. . .
Please don't leave!
[send green star]
Lynn! So glad you could make it to my group.
Lisa - As for the boys. Well, I can certainly see why they would not be around to do the heavy lifting (shucks, 'cause they're SOOO good at it ), but I don't think the military thing would make an impact.
One's a cop who used to be in the Army, and he sent me a friend request after I posted on the "Support Our Troops" site about being in the military, and the other I don't think is former military, but the friend request from him came after I defended the military and the people in it by stating that I was currently active duty. Both sent me stars for posts on the "Support Our Troops" website AFTER I had all ready made it pretty darn clear that I was a military member.
It was a good theory, but I think you were probably right the first time around.
[send green star]
Well sounds like you are out of the sleeping mode. You know you might not change the world, but you certainly will make it more bearable with such good intentions and warm hearted thoughts. I know your group will round out and steer where you want it to go eventually. O'kay I will behave and follow suit, you lead the way and I'll follow the thread.
As far the boys go..have your ever known a man to be around when the work really needs done? Starting a new group is a lot of work. So....they'll be back one day. As far as topics for them, hmmmm I wonder what their views are on women in the military? Would be interesting considering your career at the moment.

sort of. . .
I thought I would be a little more high-minded. I was going to change the world with my group and help people understand each other, but I guess this is okay, too.
It was about bringing people together to just enjoy themselves, and I'm glad that is what's happening. I just wonder where the two guys in my group have gone? You and Kat have both posted, but the boys seem to be MIA on my threads maybe we can come up with a thread that will entice them to start talking. . .Any ideas?
Well, I'm glad to have you aboard, and hopefully even more people will come kick back and relax here as well.
And in answer to your question, I don't think I've very much at all since I started out with Care2 Connect. I've only been joining and posting to these groups for about 2 weeks and I all ready have not only my own group, but am co-hosting another!!
And I probably won't get any sleep tonight/this morning (My God, it's all ready 7:15am here!) because I just started designing a website...
[send green star]
Ohhh ditto to that noise! I'm glad you started this group Amy. We tend to take ourselves to seriously at times, the world is so complex and busy. War is raging, people are protesting and times are hard. Yet, to find some place to go, relax, conversate and see what comes from that...well that is plain and simple....WONDERFUL!
I wish I would of had the idea, I'm jealous woman! Thanks for the brain storm and including me in it.
Lisa, you are right. It doesn't really have a "purpose" so to speak, in that it isn't promoting a cause or anything like that. The only thing it is promoting is love, freedom, friendship and acceptance.
And if all of those aren't cause for celebration, I don't know what is!
[send green star]
I'm Lisa and all signed in and accounted for. I have joined this group because I believe it will be light and hopefully filled with people who respect their fellow human being. It's not about anything really, just living, loving and laughing among friends and new friends to be made I hope.
