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!).

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

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.

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?

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...

One of the problems with it right now, is that you have to spread it around before you can give more to the same person.

All good from me.. wonder if eddo will return the favor. :rolleyes:

My momma always told me, "if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the **** up". :D

I'm gonna remember to do it from now on.. 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

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 GF carry over members, but the site is still in it's infancy stage at this point even with the newer members gained.
