I take it that you mean linking to these sites?  Why dont you just create a 'links' page and put them all in there?  What is a Powow calendar/schedule? lol

No I havent done this google thingy - I have looked at it tho and wondered if it was actually worth it....maybe wait until you see some positive signs with yours :-)

Hiya Polly,

I think you misunderstood what I meant hon. I was just thinking of creating two more Topic Categories. The one would be I think instead of "Anything Goes" Category, I would just call it the This & That Topic Category like I have on Celestial Sisters. I have some things that I want to post that don't really require their own topic category, but there is no place to post it on the board in any of the Topic Sections that we do have.

A Pow Wow is a Native American Event. They are sensational. That's how I started getting into the Native American stuff. The first time that I had attended one, I just couldn't believe how much spirit I was feeling the entire day. It was really awesome. I don't think that they have them in Europe because the Native Americans were our first Americans, but you never know if they have their ceremonial events over in Europe as well. I will look into it. I was just going to include a Pow Wow Calendar Topic Category for anyone who might have an interest in attending a Pow Wow Event.

Yes, with the Google thing,,,we shall see. So far, not much of anything,,,but they say it could take at least a month to drive the traffic. I'll give it almost two months, then I will cancel it if I don't see any progress.

Oh, and I was talking to a few people, and they are all of the opinion that it doesn't matter if you post something written that was copyrighted, because as long as you give that person credit for the written information and supply their website, then you are not stealing anything from them. That does sound correct to me, but I'm not attorney. If that wasn't the case, then there wouldn't be any articles or any written information at all that we could provide to others in order for them to learn from. It would only be stealing if someone were to put their name to someone else's work and post it as theirs. I think that makes sense.

All sounds good to me Sky.  I knew what a pow wow meant lol.  It sounds fab! 
Carry on then - if you think its ok about cutting and pasting articles. Who's gonna see them anyway except your members :-)

Everything is ok with me, I just feel a bit miffed about the chatnight.  I changed my arrangements with friends (they wanted us to go out to dinner with them) so that I would be available for the meditation night but no one turned up!!  Hubby was not pleased to say the least.  What a complete waste of time (thats why I am taking a break away from it.)  To be honest with you I feel as tho I am running the site on my own as Chazz is never available (even when I email her).  When I come back to the site I will seriously have to have a word in her shell-like lol.

I would have honestly been there and was looking forward to it very much, but it just couldn't wait another day. We were out of coffee and creamer and so many things and Bruce was bugging me to go. We should have left earlier in the day, but he was working on taxes and a few other things and wasn't ready until later in the day. I was there a day early for the meditation though, rofl.  I understand how your hubby felt. That's really a shame that plans were cancelled for nothing, and I know that your feelings must of been hurt. I have sat in the chatroom after posting for an event, and even put out personal e-mail reminders to everyone, and have still sat there all alone for awhile. It just makes ya feel a tad foolish, I know.

It's so easy to become discouraged. I know how hard you have worked on TSB, and it also shows that you have put not only blood, sweat, and tears in there, but your heart and soul as well. It's a beautiful site. You never know, maybe something is going on with Chazz or maybe you do such an excellent job of managing, that she has just laid back a bit and let you handle most things. I just don't understand her not being available to your e-mails, that doesn't make any sense. I'm sure you guys will work it out. I know one thing, you have members who love coming to your site and writing a little of this and a little of that and really enjoy themselves and keep it going. This site (and CS was too)  like pulling teeth. It does get very discouraging so many times. I feel like,,,why bother a lot. I know that the members are coming on here and reading things and looking around, but they never post even one tiny sentence or response, and I've seen that on other people's sites too before. You just can't seem to do anything to draw them to take the time to write anything at all or say hello for that matter. I just can't understand why people join sites, but never bother to join in on anything.  

Maybe you could send out a reminder e-mail to your group, and then they won't forget and will join in for the events in chat. Well, keep your chin up. I'm finding out the hard way that this is a part of having a site...  :>)

Thanks for that Sky, Im just feeling sorry for myself lol.  I have told them that the site is going back to the free site (adverts) for a while until I see it picking up .......they dont like the adverts hmmm.  My sister (Minnie) wants to know if the site will still be manned rofl (does she really think I sit in front of the computer all day? (she probably does!).  At least you and I can have a wee moan to each other lol)

Poll,,

No worries. We all have to feel a bit sorry for ourselves from time to time, or else we wouldn't be human...lol. I don't blame you. Why pay for something if it isn't showing constant movement. This is a lot of work, effort, not to mention time that is invested along with the expense. Your sister sounds so cute. Hey, I'm up for a good moan every once in awhile. I dumped on you when that idiot put out that e-mail, which made no sense. I 'm not a thief, and would never do something like that. And, I haven't even told all of my own 41 members about this site, only a selective few. So, why would I try to take someone else's if I'm not even telling my own people? People are nuts sometimes. Insecurity and jealousy is a very ugly thing and I have no time or use for it.

We had a new member today, Carocaro. She is from the CS site. A friend of mine brought her into CS one afternoon, and she is very nice. We all met in chat that day and had a good time. I believe that she is also a Reiki Master. Not sure how active she will be on here though, because she seems to be very busy.

Someone must of dropped out of our little group here, because before Carocaro joined, we had 19 members, and now it's saying that we still have 19 members,,,but I can't figure out for the life of me who left the group. I probably should have written all of the members down, because it's driving me nuts as to who left the group.

Anyway, keep going like a trooper. You are too good at all of this to let any of it slide for you. I'm sure if I didn't have you around here, I would feel very lonely and would most likely give up after awhile, so again, I am grateful to you!! If you can figure out who left, I would really love to know. I always make a separate Member's List in my word program with all of their e-mail addresses, but didn't do it this time. Everyone looks like they are here, but it can't be correct. Wish I could figure it out who left, lol. Again, chin up, shoulders back and keep on truckin',,,lololol.

Luv,
Sky
