Isn’t it amazing what our brains can gather from just our day-to-day existence?
If that doesn’t gather up certain thoughts for y’all, then maybe this will clear things up as to the purpose of today’s article here on Gather.com. I’ve been here on Gather for almost a year now, I’ve really enjoyed it, so now as a blatant thank you/suck up to Gather I’m going to honor them by using the word “gather” in this article just as many times as possible. That way, the search engines will be all over it, which will cause even more people to gather and read it, which will pay even more homage to and promote Gather.com!
Actually, this all makes sense, if you let your minds gather around the concept. If y’all keep hearing the word “gather” over and over and over (gather, gather, gather), it will cause your mind to coalesce around the word “gather”, which means people will think more about Gather.com and then will want to gather here so that they can experience “Gather-ing” with all the rest of us! And, after that they may even join Gather.com, which means they’ll know first-hand what “Gather-ing” on Gather.com is all about! And the bigger gathering of people Gather has, the better they’ll do, which means Tom will be making the appropriate return on his investment, which will make both himself and all the other invested Gatherites happier than hell to be involved with Gather. Makes your mind want to gather up all the possibilities and smile broadly, doesn’t it?
Wanna know how devoted I personally am to Gather? Well, get this – the following is an actual transcription of a recent dream where I actually murmured aloud during my sleep, and it was, by chance recorded! I swear to God in a gathering type way on my stack of Perry Como CDs that the following actual transcription is troo and akurate:
“Zzzzzzzz…….need to write new Gather article……..zzzzzz…..it’s great being on Gather……..zzzzzzz……..Gather, Gather, Gather, and more Gather……zzzzzz……Gather on my wayward soooonnnnnnn, there’ll be peace when you are gone…..zzzzzzzz…..yes, ping me baby, no one has to know…….zzzzzzz…….yes, yes, Selene is the Gather queen…….zzzzzz……Gather blather? I’d always rather……”
Isn’t that incredible? Makes you want to gather your family around and let them read of my incredible devotion to Gather, now doesn’t it? I thought so, in fact, this whole damn thing is so touching that I need to take a break and go gather up some Kleenex to wipe away the tears that have been gathering about my eyeballs during this moment of intense Gather.com emotion.
So there y’all have it, my Gather.com missive, a true Gather tribute – let’s now leave our gathering here today in a positive frame of mind and go out and gather new disciples for our cause! Gather.com baby – you’ve gathered up all my heartstrings for sure!

As everyone Gather's their thoughts so they might add their own comments, I say 'thank you', Ed, for gathering us all together this day.

When I first joined Gather, I found it somewhat intimidating, but in the past two years, I've frequented it more and more, and I've gathered an abundance of information and friends in the process. I'm ever so grateful for the site's existence. So I'm adding my comment to the list. Keep on Gathering; I know I intend to!
Thanks Maurice, you're an ace Gatherer!

Annmarie B., get used to the fact that you will check your gather email more than you will the voicemail on your phone.:)

I love that hymn! Wow, gathering memories too.
Ed,
What's Facebook, MySpace and oh no, you forgot the Tweeters, do they Gather too? I only Gather, have always only Gathered and will probably always only Gather, because Gather is well, the best, with the best folks on here too, all Gathering together.
But, I can only Gather between thunderstorms today, SIGH!

I took several courses of Linguistics while in College and I love playing with words--sadly I have no talent for it, ask my sons. My father was a natural, and I miss that form of levity in my life. I gave you a 10--no surprise there! Logging off quite soon, be good--if not be well!

I gather I should tell you that we just got back from our annual vacation. This year we went to Yellowstone and saw a bunch of animals gathered together, a bunch of homo sapians gathered together in traffic jams around the park and a gathering of barflies at the Roosevelt lodge.
I gather you are tired of hearing gather so I also gather that I will end this comment now.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
