Introductions

Hi, I'm Richard. I started this forum. Now it's your turn.

Hi Richard. I'm Rookie, your alter ego! I must keep looking for you in all the wrong places, 'cause you never seem to be around!

Hi, I'm Tigger. Thanks for setting up the forum, Richard. I think it will be worthwhile, interesting, and fun.

I'm Jane, and I like the idea of a new, healthy environment where we will all be treated as equals.

Hi, I am Karoline, and I am excited to join a forum with such a positive outlook and impact, and to see familiar and new faces with me.

Hi, I'm Tatiana. This may confuse you because on another forum we frequent, I'm known as TheTatiana. The other Tatiana, who is a credit to our name and a delightful person, got there first. Hah, this time I beat her! Maybe she can register as the nice Tatiana. Then everyone will be able to keep us straight. I'll suggest that to her.

Hi, I'm Dan. I may be getting too old for this, but I (personally) am in for the ride. So here I am just plain Dan. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Hi. I am Colette.

Hello. I am Paul. or iampaul as you prefer.

Okay, that flashy ad thing is getting on my nerves pretty quickly. I'm sure glad I'm not epileptic. I guess it's time to re-enable my ad blocker.

Let me know if it works - I hate the ads too.

There! That should take care of those pesky ads for a bit!

I've got firefox with adblock and I never saw any of the ads. It's da bomb!

I'm Melanie, and we are in the middle of an election in Canada. What I get from the animation (which was interesting to watch), was that we should go and do what we enjoy, what challenges us, and what inspires us. I don't take everything in the presentation as fact, I think there actually is some different conclusions one could make - or at least investigate. While it seems that everyone wants to be the manager and nobody wants to be the managed, I don't think it is actually that cut and dry. See you on the forum!

PS - the little buddy in the photo is Wobbles, age 3 months. He has cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes him walk wobbly, like a drunkard.

Hey everyone! I brought the chips! Many of you know me but for those that don't: I joined Kiva 2 years ago this month. Shortly after I discovered Donors Choose, Wish Upon A Hero, United Prosperity, Education Generation, Partners in Health, the list goes on.

I
no longer use Kiva but loved all the friends I had made through KivaFriends. I am really excited about Next Steps! Now I can talk to those people I miss, make new friends and talk about those sites that I do have a passion for. I also like learning about new organizations.

Thank you RichardF for making this happen!

My friends know me as Phil. I joined Kiva Friends some time ago but my interest has of late waned. Thank you Richard for renewing my ienthusiasm for communicating and to Judy for her personal invitation to join this community.

Hi, since Pale Blue brought chips, I am offering virtual Cokes.

I am Amy, known as Amy-in-PHX on KivaFriends because someone else was "Amy" first. (Though she no longer posts.) I registered here because I saw something written by Tatiana that I wanted to respond to. But after I previewed my response, I wanted to add a few words and somehow I "saved as a draft" instead. If anyone knows how to get back to a saved draft and then post it, please let me know! I will send this without having previewed it, so pls excuse any misspellings!

Amy, it's good to see you here!

Go to your Profile and you should see a tab there entitled "Drafts" - at least I have one on mine.
