While we wait for usability testing to complete, we thought we'd share with you some of the things you'll find inside. The Friends of Israel forum will be hosted by Carl in Jerusalem. We are most excited to have him on the team! There are other good sub-forums in the works, as well...we'll trickle them out as we go. (See littleoldlady's post below for more on Carl's fine work.)
Welcome, Carl! I've enjoyed reading your site through the years and we're honored to have you join us.
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting news - looking forward to reading what you have to say, Carl.

This site just gets better and better! So looking forward to Carl's posts.
ReplyDeleteHiya ladycatnip! :-)
ReplyDeletePBJ! Hi! :-)
I am very excited about this! I look forward to reading Carl's blog every morning. Now I won't have to go looking for him because he will be right here!
Hi to both of you.
ReplyDeleteOh oh, another truther, antiwar comment coming in to my facebook. BRB
Hi y'all, Pink, Littleoldlady, Ladycatnip, PBJ, Carl ! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is really exiting to be able to join you all on this new venture.
Heyyyyy, CALLAHAN! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you here!
Hi everyone! So nice to see you all here!
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way I sport a button on the belt of my carry-all bag that is showing the Israeli flag.
ReplyDeleteI am not saying that I am particularly bold in doing so but it raises a few eyebrows here in Germany. ;-)
*snigger*

I have been missing you, littleoldlady.

ReplyDelete{Callahan}! Very sweet of you to say so.
ReplyDelete{littleoldlady} Ah, the hugs!
ReplyDeleteAnother of those things I've been missing lately.

I can tell I'm going to like you, Callahan. : )
Welcome, if I haven't said as much already, to you, PBJ and Dee.
I'm going to try to make sure I don't miss anybody, but we are unusually busy trying to put things together so we're grateful to Pink, lol, and realwest for doing such a great job in the welcoming committee role. Atilla, Scott, and the three of them have been such assets to this effort, we can't thank them enough.
And thanks to everyone here for welcoming Carl so warmly. I suppose we'll have to let him know it's here so he can see it. ; )
... so we're grateful to Pink, lol, and realwest for doing such a great job in the welcoming committee role. ...
ReplyDeleteThey sure do a great job in making me feel welcome.
The time lapse has prevented me and realwest to converse thus far but I am cool, comes time and we'll meet again. :-)
Thanks for your welcoming me, CC.
I didn't realize this was going live yet. Wow! It's great to be here!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have you here, Carl! We're giving people a glimpse inside the larger forum before it opens, so they can anticipate its features along with the team.
ReplyDeleteYour involvement is such a welcome addition to the project!
Hiya, Carl! :-)
ReplyDeleteCC just wanted to show off her most excellent logo for the forum (at the future, real site).
Is it "Shavua Tov" time yet in your zone? ;-)

ReplyDeleteI KNEW I should have kept that to myself. LOL
; )
(Hey, I like it. I'm a bit of a hack designer, but when a donkey flies, you don't blame it for not staying up that long, you know?)
CC,
ReplyDeleteForgot my winky thingie! ;-)
But I DID want to show it off! LOL
ReplyDelete(It speaks to me. I dig it. What can I say?)
LOL,
ReplyDeleteIt was actually about 3:30 am here....
Sleep? What's that?
Very cool 'thumbs-up Israel' graphic.
ReplyDelete((PINK))
ReplyDeleteI have never been hugged by a committee before! {{CC}}
ReplyDeleteHi, everyone!
ReplyDeleteThis is a breath of fresh air.
Carl has a bog? Who knew? ;)
Note to me: learn how to spell! Blog, not bog!
ReplyDeleteThat was a spelling mistake? I thought you were revealing some affection Carl had for cranberries. I'm kinda disappointed. ; )
ReplyDeleteCorrespondence Committee,
ReplyDeleteI resemble that statement. I am also a Bostonian by birth. I loved going to the bogs when I was a kid, but of course we went in a horse and carriage..no cars yet.

ReplyDeleteFriends of Israel!
Genesis 12: 3
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
I like!
Is this coffee fresh or should I brew up a pot?
Let's say you are superintendent of a large school district in a deep blue city.
ReplyDeleteYou have low graduation rates and low performance.
What do you do?
a) Demand better teacher performance.
b) Find ways to increase student performance.
c) Require more parental invvolvement.
d) Lower graduation standards.
Seattle schools may lower grade-point requirement for graduation
Seattle Public Schools may do away with a nearly decade-old requirement that all students earn a C average to graduate, and an even-older policy that athletes maintain a C average to play on school teams.
If the School Board approves recommendations endorsed by Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson, as well as most district high-school principals and counselors, a D average will be good enough to earn a high-school diploma. Student athletes would need to pass five of six classes with D grades or better.
IMHO a superintendent that proposes such INSANITY should be fire and given five minutes to clear out their desk.

Howdy! How's things!
Things are good here, one munchkin brought a cold home and shared it with everyone!
Hi, JCM
ReplyDeleteI have found my 4 kids, now in their 30's and 40's were very sharing...one got the chicken pox, and the 3 others thought that it was such a great idea that they each got it themselves, at the end of the one who had the second case, and exactly the same for the other 2! I was housebound for over a month, and the youngest was still in diapers.
IMHO it was collusion!
BTW, I hope the munchkins get better fast, and don't share with their parents!
