There were many principles in which Clevinger believed passionately. He was crazy.
schoolmom Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hello, I am a newby. I was invited to join this forum, so I did. Not sure how much time I will have to participate until summer, being a teacher, raising a family and working on my Masters degree. Politically I am a moderate that leans to the left. I am married and have 2.5 kids. My stepson is 16, my son is 8 and my daughter is 2. I teach ELL at the High School level. I have about one year left until I get my Masters degree (and can't wait for that to be DONE!). 2 Quote :oSchoolmom:o

schoolmom Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Thanks for the welcome. It is really weird. Your name is Old Salt and that is the name of one of the main characters in a story we were just reading in my ELL Reading II class. The name of the island that they went to look for burried treasure was "Rose Island" and my avatar is a rose. WEIRD!!! LOL Quote :oSchoolmom:o
schoolmom Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Hey, why don't I have any power? How do I get power like I'm with stupid and Old Salt? 1 Quote :oSchoolmom:o
Old Salt Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I think it's after your one-hundredth post you get 1. After that, I'm not sure. Posters like wez have more, but they've got a lot of posts under their belts. Quote Been wrong before, could be wrong now, will probably be wrong again. Don't take yourself so dang seriously. ;)

I have about one year left until I get my Masters degree (and can't wait for that to be DONE!). Hey schoolmom.. Welcome to the site.. The more the merrier. I just started nursing school. I had my first clinical today. My back is killing me and I'm exhausted! I went back to school after 15 years to be nurse. :eek: I really like it though, glad I did. I can't wait to be done too though. It is quite an intense program.. Good luck on your masters! What are you studying? Quote I'm sick in mind and spirit, the mirror tells me lies ~ Ozzy
Moderators IWS Posted March 26, 2008 Moderators Posted March 26, 2008 Hey, why don't I have any power? How do I get power like I'm with stupid and Old Salt? You get power by people giving you rep for your posts. It's the little symbol of an old tyme scale on the upper right part of the post. People really haven't seemed to get real into the giving rep thing on here yet. Some do. I used to but since I'm a mod I don't want to give the impression that I am siding with any one member over another. Many of your questions can be answered with this page...

I see a lot of words from people I love to hear, or see, as may be the case. :) I did have one negative one.. but it appears that member got banned.. I was gonna give him some good rep but don't have the option to.. Hahahaha Quote I'm sick in mind and spirit, the mirror tells me lies ~ Ozzy

Phreakwars Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 The rep system works in part by the users total post accumulation, and in part by rep given to them by others. You won't see a significant number of rep points until the site matures a bit more and has more ACTIVE users daily then what it does now. Some members are WPYO carry over members, but the site is still in it's infancy stage at this point even with the newer members gained. . . 1 Quote NewSucks500.com The return of the Suckage

I'm gonna start using it everytime I see some good words.. which is quite often.. Never even thought about it..

Old Salt Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 One thing about the reps given by members is that you can't tell who they're from unless they sign them. Quote Been wrong before, could be wrong now, will probably be wrong again. Don't take yourself so dang seriously. ;)
