This will help to ensure that we can discuss rationally, and with respect and civility, the future and our place in it.
Hi, read the rules, agree with them fully. Though I do tend to be a poty mouth sometimes I will try to refrain from using some of my most delicious words so I do not offend those who dislike them.
We're almost to 1/5 of our members having read and acknowledged the agreement. Hopefully the rest will log in this weekend! Thank you to those of you who have read and signed. It really seems so silly to have to do this, but ... well, we've all seen why the need exists. Its the odd one or two happenings that force this sort of thing, but once done we've got it behind us. Thanks for understanding!
Now ALMOST everyone who hasn't already confirmed reading and agreement has been asked by e-mail to do so ... hopefully not too many will be away for the weekend and we can put this business behind us ... at least this first massive signing. Thanks, All!
Thank you to you both ... and Bear ... you are one of the ones that made me feel the most foolish putting the "Rules" up here ... in fact, all those who have agreed so far are people not likely to NEED reminders. I'm surprised anyone here did ... of course ... the two we've had difficulties with are not here any more ... so ... WE'RE ALL ENLIGHTENED AND WONDERFUL!!!!! Lol!

I Agree and It Is So Great To Be Here!!! October 29, 2005 4:46 PM
Good Evening All,
Yes, I agree with the rules and will do my very best to adhere to them. At the moment, I am beyond thrilled just to be able to post anything. This silly computer has been giving me a hissy. Have a marvelous weekend all. Love, Dawn
Not ALL of it may be the fault of your computer. I've had a VERY hard time posting to you from Care2 over the past couple of weeks. When I click the link to your profile, it almost invariably locks up on me. Distressing and more than a little frustrating! Its SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!!! Finally!

My kids are having a costume party and the old witchy poo (my costume) has just sneaked away to read the terms. They seem reasonable, I haven't been here in a while and must have missed the skirmish.
Back to the kitchen...I think someone spiked the punch!
I have read and I do agree with the COC. I do not know what went on in here, as I have been too busy to even read the board, let alone post to it. I hope everyone is doing well.
First, I want to thanks for the invite to join this group... second, I agree to the rules of the group... understanding without judgment is a good thing... pila...

excellent points and excellent policy. i agree, i will adhere, and for the record, i haven't posted here yet, but i like to read the postings and peri is right on, this is not the place to waste anybody's time with a bunch of hot air. thanks for your diligence and sensibility, peri.
(btw, members, i'm lorraine. "whorraine" is a costume for halloween.)
Thirty-one of our 68 members has signed the Agreement. I will be contacting the remaining thirty-seven and urging them to log in to our group and sign. Unfortunately, some people only log in sporadically, so some allowance needs to be made. One of the groups I belong to has a "read and sign before you post," but I'm not ready to be a fully moderated site ... too much ability to be a censor in such a circumstance. I do, however, track all posts, so perhaps there is a solution in being able to know when unsigned members might be on-line.
To those of you who have already read and signed, thank you. I still deplore the necessity of having to legislate, but there are an unfortunate few who cannot do so for themselves, or for whom a little reminder is helpful.

when life becomes balanced there will be no need to have rules. each one will "know" how to behave towards others, because we will then understand how life is a circle, spirals of energy that return to the sender as well as going forth to touch all of creation and even creator it's self------even though it would seem to take an eternity by our standard of time to reach that far. everything is now without time. so we should always use our enlightened being in all of our life no matter who or where or why. let us be glad for the creation of life and rejoice in all that shares in the creation, for it is all related. IT IS----I AM
