THE DIRECTORY. MY FINAL WORD
Txs Sally. I joined in 1998/1999.
-- Niasha If it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger!ally -- Actually Niasha has been around since 2002, and was in the 2005 directory (the first I had), but missed the 2006 one when life must have got in the way. Just a thought, would it be a help if the Directory Form had a little space for giving a date of the last time you appeared in a directory, or something similar. This would assist the person compiling the directory to check if the person applying was a newbie, or a long-term member who had not posted much recently. They would have a place to start their check. With so many names, remembering them is so difficult, and Alice did say that the checking of 'credentials' was the hardest bit. I personally would have no difficulty in Niasha receiving a directory, even though she doesn't appear in it. Niasha, if your info. is the same as in 2005, I will add you to my directory. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~uk http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

THE DIRECTORY. MY FINAL WORD
Kate, thanks for responding. A couple of points.
- "Please try not to take this as a personal affront. You are new here, we are happy to have you here, and hope you will hang around". - I don't take this personally. My concern is not receiving a paper copy of a document but what I always perceived as the central philosophy of the group. That group I thought was composed of folk who not only had a passion for the art of quilting but a place where they felt they could curl up and quietly sit by the quilting frame during those times they couldn't actively participate but still needed to feel they belonged and continue to learn. I would not like being thought of as Niasha, she who only posts every couple of months but Niasha who cares enough about the group and gets such sustenance from you kindred spirits to be happy just to sit around the frame. Given the current criteria for admission to the "Big D", I will never qualify. Too little energy and time to post. And that's fine. However, anyone wanting to know the nature of my character could have done a google search and witnessed nine years of frequent, and hopefully useful postings to the group. -You guys did a great job on a difficult task. I understand the need for setting some criteria, if for nothing else but to exclude trolls. Again, let me state my concern was not, was not being included or excluded in or from the directory but what I perceived as a philosophical change in the group. I probably have "musshy brain syndrome" this week; last week it was the "I don't remember saying that". - I said this was not personal but after reading my rant I think perhaps it was, just a little. I'm beginning to feel like an Eskimo on the old iceberg (hopefully with a battery operated DVD, an HD TV and some prime chocolate blubber). Enough, let's get back to what we do best! Talk about chocolate! -- Niasha, who luvs U. If it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger! If tlistening to friends listening "Kate G." wrote in message . .. No, Niasha, it is not merely a 2 month period of posting that determines one's admission to the directory. While I'm sure Alice can speak for her own process, it is my understanding that she searched back many, many months (at least 6 months) to look for applicants who would be new to the directory (as those already admitted had been scrutinized previously). She looked for the number of posts and wanted to make sure that most were relevant to quilting. (Not that you are... but we do get an occassional troll who poses as one of us -- so our directory people take their job very seriously). Only those who are IN the directory receive a copy of the directory -- thus each member has a vested interest in protecting the privacy of the information included. While I speak for Alice (and probably shouldn't), please know that no individual was not included out of malice or spite. Most of us were around for at least a year before we were admitted to our first directory. While a certain frequency of posts isn't required for admission -- you certainly must post frequently enough so that those pulling the directory together feel confident that you are a person who is truly a member of our community and someone who can be trusted with our personal information. While you can neither receive or be included in this release of the directory, we hope you will stay around, post occasionally so we can all get to know you, and then being included next time around will not be a problem. (Remember -- when you respond privately to someone, there is no record on the newsgroup -- so while you may be active in your communications with other members privately -- there is no way our Directory Team would know this. Please try not to take this as a personal affront. You are new here, we are happy to have you here, and hope you will hang around. You are welcome to participate in any and all swaps that interest you (or host one of your own!) You are welcome to become a part of the HUG group. Ask questions when they arise in your quilting, post answers to others' questions when you think you can help, join us offering hugs and prayers to fellow RCTQ'ers as needed and before long it will be time for the next directory... and you will be warmly welcomed and included.

Dental stuff-SKIP if you want:
Maybe, it is boating season out here. He even did one on DS but HE did need it (cracked tooth and a lot of pain) I do know he does LISTEN to the patient. right after I signed on to be his patient they called to ask if I wanted a cleaning. I refused until I had a meet-up with the DDS. I have a RED CHECK on my chart meaning they have to call and remind me I have to take an antibiotic before I go see him IF he is do to anything for me. TG for Mayo's Drs I have that ordinary heart thingie that requires the pill before I get work done. Fortunately there isn't anything else I need to take for the heart YAY! except carry a card in my wallet. DS says he is very patient and isn't afraid to 'give extra shots' if needed. I like that kind of DDS as shots don't last long for me. Butterfly "Kathy Applebaum" wrote in message . .. "Butterflywings" wrote in message ...

We have had the AC on now and then, so far we haven't had to have it on 24/7
but 100° days are predicted for later this week. Maybe he's getting a head start on saving for his? Too soon for me to make up my mind if I like him or not.

Howdy!
LOL! Thanks, KathyA. When we first moved here I saw a dentist who, while doing his work, told me all about his new home, 3 daughters w/ many wants, wife's new car, etc.. Last visit I heard about the trials & errors involved in the addition of their swimming pool; that *was* my last visit to that dentist. g Good luck, Mz. B-fly. Get the teeth/face pain fixed and get home to that New Quilting Studio! Hugs, Ragmop/Sandy --who might have continued w/ Dr.E if wife's car had been a Mercedes (money goes round in circles)... nah! ;-D On 5/8/07 10:43 AM, in article , "Kathy Applebaum" wrote: "Butterflywings" wrote in message ...
