Can you believe that September is already half over? I must have slept through it because I am still writing August on my checks and just a day or two ago, I put August as the date on the Today post. Humm???? I wonder where August went?
In the Tuesday edition of Today On Gather, I posted a few people's names with link to their posts. If you missed that issue, you can still read it here. There was and is no way that I can post all the wonderful people on gather who contribute so very much to the community. In fact, I think I would be safe in saying that most of the members of the Gather Community helps to make it the wonderful community that it is. However, I would like to add a few more people for you to think about:
Comedian: Rob Appell - This guy just cracks me up with his comments. He is always just so funny and an all around great guy.
Artists: CC Miranda , Warren Keating , This area is new to me but I am rapidly learning thanks to CC.
Geocacher: Marianne R. I had never even heard of this until I read her posts.
Tells It Like It Is.: sharon - mom to all is a wise woman, Peter Joseph Swanson, Robiyah G Lori F. Those folks are great,but they do not hold any punches.
Poets: Cheryl W. Edward Nudelman You will love both of these peoples poems
Medical Doctors: Julie K. Silver, M.D., Harvard Medical School , Howard E. LeWine, M.D., Harvard Medical School , Mary Pickett, M.D., Harvard Medical School , Anthony Komaroff, M.D., Harvard Medical School These Doctors and many more are members of the Gather community and offers much great medical advice.
NATURE LOVER: Rick *Don Rico* J. This guy has some amazing photo essays. You have to see them. Just click here. to see one of my favorites. If you double click on the small photos, they will enlarge.
As you can see there is much more to the Gather Community than meets the eye! It is always easy to find someone with the same intersts as you in this community. What are your hobbies and talents?
WELCOME TO THE GATHER COMMUNITY
Have you noticed all the new members of the community lately? Well Gather has once again teamed up with Bzzagent. I think it is great. I found the Gather community through Bzzagent as well. I know that each of you seasoned members of the community will welcome the newbies with open arms. I remember what it was like to be new here. Welcome!
ARE YOU LOOSING YOUR POSTS?
It seems that there are many Gather members who are getting frustrated as a result of loosing their posts once they have them all typed up. 
Are you one of the many Gather members who type up a lengthy post and try to submit it only to find that it disappears. That is so frustrating!

It is so good to see you. I imagine there were many of us who joined through Bzzagent.
I love seeing the people you feature, Connie, but had to chuckle when I saw Sharon's name and how you listed her. Just a couple hours ago, hubby was reading over my shoulder as I gathered, and I told him, about her, that she tells it like it is. I love that about her. No b.s.
LOL I just love Sharon. She is a real asset to the community. I never worry about her lying to make me feel good. She does not pretend to be something she is not. I admire that in a person. :)
I don't think it feels like two years either. LOL
