Mrs. Job brought up the idea that there should be someplace that newbies (and oldtimers) can read up on each member's background. We have had several threads in which members have given a partial profile of themselves (Roll call, Where are we all at, etc.) but there really isn't a place where you can go and read up on all the members at once.<P>So, I was thinking...and I came up with this idea: If everyone would write up a brief description of themselves and their situations, I could compile them all onto one post for us. Then, maybe we can have the post submitted to the notable threads page. Or if not, we could at least keep pulling it up, and adding to it when we get new members.<P>I was thinking of something like this for format<BR>______________________________________<BR>User name:<P>Status (ws, bs, other):<P>Oc info (how many oc are there, what ages, gender, etc.):<P>Vital Statistics: (approximate age, career, no. of children, etc.)<P>Location (general area, like state, region, or country):<P>Brief background (short description of the circumstances that led up to you participating on this board):<P>Current status (married/separated/divorced, contact/no contact with oc, paying/not paying child support, etc.):<P>Harvey principals used, and results (plan a, plan b, POJA, or other)<P>Topics of special interest or ability(for example, mine would be "ideas for reducing cs orders" and "oc custody issues". Mycross would probably list "the importance of DNA testing" and "Pregnancy Information" because of her nursing background. Jenny might include "Healing tips" and "special ceremonies"):<P>Links to notable threads (posts or replies by you that you think would be worth looking at.):<BR>_______________________________<P>What do you all think? If everybody wants to take a moment to put their information together, and then email it to me at cdcollins4ever@altavista.com , I will start to work on compiling it into one post for us. You could, of course, feel free to add or delete any of the subjects - don't feel obligated to put down anything you normally wouldn't share anyway.<BR> <BR>Or if you would prefer that somebody else does this, that's fine too. Just thought I would volunteer. But I think it's a good idea. What do you all think?<P>-cd<BR>

Great idea. i'll start working on mine.<P><P>------------------<BR>Zebra Baby ...<P>Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I've received two member profiles so far - keep em coming and I'll have this done in no time!<BR>-cd

Dear cd,<P>This is a great idea, but actually someone started a thread that already has all of the stories of the "senior members" of the forum. <P>If anyone knows the name of it, would you please respond. Maybe you could just update that one instead of going through so much work?<P>I saw it within the last six weeks (some one had pulled it up and added some of the newbies). I will look for it and let you know if I find it.<P>love,<BR>heavenly

I found them cd and brought them to the top. There are two:<BR>Where are we all at? started by Broken Wings and Background information started by Catnip.<P>Maybe these will help.<P>love,<BR>heavenly

cd, what happened to this. it would sure be great to have. i know you've been busy. anything i can do to help????<P>z.<P>------------------<BR>Zebra Baby ...<P>Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
