Time to move on
Apr 22, 2008

After long and careful consideration, I have come to the decision that it is time for Wolf Singer to move on.

There are many who will be happy at this news, I know, and that's okay. For those who may not be happy about this, however, you're more than welcome to visit my journal; you can even subscribe to it, if you'd like. You'll receive an email notification every time I post (which I do almost every day).

With regard to the Care2 Emergency Services group, please know that it will continue to operate as it has been from the start, including financially. I will be discussing the matter with the hosts so contributions can continue to be made and applied to members in true financial need.  This is a very important group with a very important purpose, and as soon as proper arrangements can be made, the existing funds will be transferred to a new PayPal account (to be set up by whichever host takes over ownership of the group).

In the three years I've been a member of this site, I have watched many changes take place - some good, some not so good.  Thanks to everyone I've met and interacted with here, I've been able to grow as a human being, and I've learned a lot about human nature and about how to live.  I'm grateful for all of my experiences here - both positive and negative; without them, I wouldn't have learned the life lessons I needed to learn.

Until everything is taken care of, my profile page will remain visible. Once everything is done, however, I will be deleting my profile. So, if at some point you should find "Anonymous" beside my posts in groups where that option is not enabled, you'll know I've left.

I wish everyone happiness and wellness.  It's been a real learning experience here on Care2, and I've appreciated being here. Take care, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Nov. 12/07 Community Updates
Nov 12, 2007
Hi Hi Hi everyone! There's a lot to bring you up to date on, so let's just get started.

The Daily Action page has been revamped and updated. You can check it out here (link will open a new window).

The "Members 'Most Wanted' List" has been reviewed by the Care2 staff, and several of the requests you've made have been answered. Here's the last MMW list, including what's been done:

Members are requesting that

(1) the Support and engineering teams to fix existing bugs and glitches.

(2) we have an option to customize the My Connect page (choose themes - like we can do with our groups, profile pages, and blogs - and select which modules to display)

(3) we have the option to send e-cards, messages, and green stars directly from the "My Friends" list.

(4) we have choices to check off when sending green stars, so the recipient knows why they're getting the star. (e.g. "Thinking of you," "Great post in _____ group," "Thanks for the star," etc.)

(5) we have an optional questionnaire that can be filled out when people leave a group, for the purpose of providing feedback to the Group Hosts, so that they (Group Hosts) can gauge how well their group is working for their members.

(6) we have a "BCC" (Blind Carbon Copy) option in personal messaging (for privacy, and to help reduce and prevent spam)

(7) we have a direct e-card link to profiles

(8) we have the option to send more than one green star per week

(9) we have the option to send green stars to all friends at once, without having to click on each profile

(10) we have the ability to email friends directly from the Address Book in our email.

Fulfilled Requests:

1. Increase default font size: Done! (Default is now 12pt [size 3])

2. Delete or edit own posts in groups: Done! (1-min. window to edit posts)

3. Group owners delete/transfer ownership of their groups: Done!

4. Hide sensitive groups from profiles: Done! (option to choose "private" in Visibility settings)

5. Group owners message/email group members only: Done! (Host Announcements and Group Email choices available)

6. Time/date stamps for Personal Messaging: Done!

7. Member Suggestion Box for "Click to Donate" site: Done!

There are more requested features being developed, and bugs and glitches are being worked on, so please do stay tuned to for more updates.  Subscribe via RSS to the Blogline and get updates as soon as they happen; just look for the orange icon near the top of the page.

Have a great day and a great week, everyone!

May 30/07: Members 'Most Wanted' List
May 30, 2007
The last updated Most Wanted List was posted May 5/07.  It seems like it's time to provide another update, just so that Care2 doesn't think we've forgotten what we're asking for. 

Care2, for some time, now, members have been asking for:


(1) the Support and engineering teams to fix existing bugs and glitches, such as:

* Not receiving group emails

* RSS Feeds Intermittent or not updating at all

* Default Font Size Not Working

There are more bugs and glitches that have been ongoing for several months - and for some members, more than a year.

(2) option to customize the My Connect page (choose themes - like we can do with our groups, profile pages, and blogs - and select which modules to display)

(3) the option to send e-cards, messages, and green stars directly from the "My Friends" list.

(4) choices to check off when sending green stars, so the recipient knows why they're getting the star. (e.g. "Thinking of you," "Great post in _____ group," "Thanks for the star," etc.)

(5) an optional questionaire that can be filled out when people leave a group, for the purpose of providing feedback to the Group Hosts, so that they (Group Hosts) can gauge how well their group is working for their members.

(6) a "BCC" option in personal messaging (for privacy, and to help reduce and prevent spam)

(7) a direct e-card link to profiles

(8) the option to send more than one green star per week

(9) the option to send green stars to all friends at once, without having to click on each profile

(10) the ability to email friends directly from the Address Book in our email.

(11) groups which members host and/or co-host to be separated from the groups they don't host/co-host. (perhaps splitting the My Groups page would help?)

The Care2 Support and Engineering teams have been working very hard to resolve existing glitches and bugs. Some of these glitches have been resolved, but there are still some bugs being worked out, so please try to be patient while the engineers continue working to get everything up and running properly.

Should you find that features and tools aren't working, please fill out a Help Form and describe the problem in detail so the engineers can investigate. Make sure you include what you've done to correct things, too.

Thanks for taking the time to note this Most Wanted list, Care2, and thanks for working so hard to make things work properly for all of us.

Overdue Update
May 29, 2007
Hi everyone!

I know this is overdue - heck, it seems as if the faster I go, the behinder I get...

I know many of you have been waiting to hear about what's going on with my newest grandchild, so here's the update:

Nikkita was released from the hospital yesterday, after spending all day and all night Sunday under a special UV lamp. Her color has improved a thousand per cent, and she's eating like a horse, now. Malika, the attending nurse, explained that there is still some jaundice left in Nikkita's system, but if she eats every two to three hours, her body will flush out what's left in no time.

I want to thank everyone who left comments for your prayers and your positive healing energies. I apologize for not updating you all sooner. I've also passed your comments along to my daughter, who also thanks you. Your caring and compassion has made a huge difference in the lives of our family...

Duty Calls
May 22, 2007
Many of you know I've been renovating my home, and that we were due to start painting the interior of our house today. Well, the boys (my boarders, who were supposed to start the work today) are nowhere to be found, and I have the feeling that if I wait for them, the work just won't get done.

So, for the next couple of weeks (and maybe even into the next couple of months), I'm not going to be around the site too much. I have a lot of work ahead of me, and I don't have a lot of time to get it done before our vows-renewal ceremony and summer holidays.

I will be checking in to see how things are going, and I do get my messages forwarded to my email so that I can keep up with things, but I won't be posting too much. Which, of course, means that I'm going to be relying very heavily on my awesome Co-Hosts to keep things going.

I will try to keep everyone updated on how things are going via my personal journal; please feel free to visit me there. I will also be updating my Home Renos album as film gets developed (ohhh, yes; I'm taking pictures!), so you can see how things are progressing.

Thanks for reading this, and have a great day!
