Unofficlal Gatherholics Seeking New Members - That means YOU

But Kathryn................ I'm already a member

haha, first comment. Do we get membership cards?

Ok, Edward, so if we are members, why are we reading? I think she has us there...

Yep, Ed and Aileen are DEFINITELY Gatherholics. Membership cards (virtually speaking) are in the offing.

I'm blaming my mother (Aileen). She's turning me into a Gatherholic! Not that I mind.

Yep, CC, I'd say you DEFINITELY are a GATHERHolic-in TRAINING !!

Yep, Andi. I'd Say, Go AHEAD, blame your MOTHER !!

Hey, I missed Andi's comment but Kathryn's jumped right out at me!

Hey, you gonna write a 12-step program for Gatherholics, like I did for the Beader's Anonymous group?

I think we should have a gatheraholics drinking game like that old game "Hi Bob" (where you drank to the Bob Newhart show and every time a character said "Hi Bob") and drink heavily when you read the word gather.. then try and type.....

dont understand, you need to mention gather in the title, of your posting about something totally unrelated, like your writing?

So. Gathering new members for Gatherholics, are you? Count me in, although no one seems to be reading my posts. How does one build an audience around here, anyway?

I'm in. Just signed up. I am glad to be accepted by such an exclusive club!

I'm up for that game! Sounds fun!

Aileen, I think you need to speak with your wonderful daughter. lo.

Auntie, I think I need to take a look at your group. Let me check to see if I am a member.

CC, join in any time. Gather, type, type, glug, glug, gather, type, glug, type, glug.

Carol, you don't need to mention Gather in the TITLE, but in the article. I've had a problem with people sending me articles that have NOTHING to do with Gather.

There is Jake's group: pandemonium.gather.com for articles about ANYTHING.

Unofficial Gatherholics is for GATHER ADDICTION or just plan articles about GATHER.

Sunnye, I just checked your connections. You and I are connected, and you have others in your network, too. One of the best ways to have readers is to widen your network. That is advice straight from Gather's own pages.

Connect to more people !

Rich, it's not exclusive, but it is definitely HOLIC. Gatherholics, Unofficially,that is. Thanks for joining. When can we expect your first article? Soon, I hope !!!

OK, Andi. Here goes: drink, drink, glug, glug, Gather, type. type. Gather....

I like this game Kathryn! It could lead to some interesting typing, not to mention fun stories!

Kathryn, I can talk, but will she listen?

Sunnye, joining groups also helps so you can publish your articles in a group. More people might find it that way. My daighter Andi told me about your Round Robin article. It was wonderful!

Yep, Andi. Let's everybody get real busy, now, y'all here?

Aileen, you've got a real good one, there. Yep, I think she''ll listen. You two seem really good together.

Auntie, I'm not a member of your group. Can you give me the address please?

It's a group for jewelry makers. I'll send you an invite! :-)

Thanks, Auntie. I just joined your gruop.

Kathryn, may I call you Kate?
If I get addicted to Gatheritis, is there a cure for it?

Yes, Fred, there is a cure for Gatherholism. Only one cure: More Gathering. (I never said the cure worked, mind you.)

U never cease to amaze me Kathryn ! wow

Oh, you are TOO kind, Marinela. I'm not THAT amazing. OK, maybe I'm AMAZING, but not THAT amazing. Lol.

im tooooooooooooooooodrunk to typ gatuhr

Hello Kathryn, hoping you will bear with me, I am hoping someone will read my problems in the comments section because right now that is the only way I can 'publish' anything on gather. The left side of my view of gather information is completey inaccessable to me. I cant reply to or delete or originate any messages, accept or decline invites to new groups, accept or decline new networking members, publish either articles or photos. It is really really annoying. If there is a way to fix this on my computer I have not got a clue how. This problem is only with the gather site, all other internet sites that I visit are just fine. So anyone out there, can you help me at all or am I forever doomed to read and comment on other peoples posted articles and images? until the folks who design the website at gather see fit to change the parameters or whatever? I used to enjoy this site so much but now I am visiting it less and less because it just makes me soooooo frustrated. Thanks for whatever anyone can help me with. ( I can't even read whatever messages come into me ) I can be reached at kudzu3@yahoo.com if anyone has any suggestions for me ..........

I was unable to publish any articles until I tried turning off my firewall, Rlene. I hope you are able to figure it out and might join my new beaders anonymous group.

I can quit anytime I want to.

only 16 out of 38? where are you KEO? also I think Marinela said it best "U never cease to amaze me Kathryn ! wow" Truely NPR material. Have they contacted you?

Oh Tina, that is TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badddddddd !

Rlene, I will copy your message in an email i'll send to Ben Stephens, member services at Gather. I'll give him the link of this article, too. I'm not sure what the problem is, I know some people have trouble scrolling to the side with Gather, with the upgrade and I'm not sure what they do to fix it.

Maybe I'll post an article so others who have this problem will comment, because I don't remember what the solution is. Rlene, article coming right up.

Good comment, Auntie. I will make that a comment in the article I just published with Rlene's comment, hoping to help her.

Oh, SURE you can, Joshua. And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell.

Hello, WHAT! I'm back from work. lol. That's where I was. I seem to be here so much that if in fact I am gone for a day at work (happens 5 out fo 7 days) my articles don't get responded to in a timely manner.

No, NPR hasn't contacted me...i wonder why...Am i not that GOOD????? HAHAHA.

Nah, Katie, this wasn't meant to be an example of your writing, this was an advert for the group, so I apply different standards and I never rate these sort of blogs, as they aren't the "serious writing" you keep reminding people they need to be doing. Rest your feet up in the A/C..give yourself a break from Gather. Stay out of the icky air and take care of your lungs. I like you, so I gave you this post. Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday, What. I'm going to need a nap, soon ~
