Thanks Georgios ... LOL.  My husband and I were fortunate last year to see the Celtic Woman in concert.  I've heard such beautiful music before.

Thanks my friend for dedicating this song to me and Dr Jean Marie. You are truly a wonderful friend Georgios.  I love this music.

Your friend, Pat

Although I was previously voted as a POTW, I can't be nominated now.  I WILL NOT add my last name for the same reason as LaNell has stated.  I agree that this is not a good rule.

 

OH WELL,

Pat

First of all Congratulations.

Congratulations to Kathleen and Thomas for staying cool.

Congratulations to everyone who has posted because, despite strong views, it has stayed warm but civil.

Congratulations everyone for supporting a, now well established, feature.

Many of us will know the feeling of having volunteered for something, the job becomes a big one. By now Kathleen must wonder what she has taken on.

My suggestion to the matters raised is this: 

Let's give the existing NEW RULES a try. I know that, if things prove problematic in the longer-term Kathleen will be the first to say "Let's take another look".

Let's give a BIG HOORAY for Kathleen for taking this on and give her some credit for being brave enough to take it on, afterall, we can ALL SEE the names proposed so there is no chance of vote distortion.

MY FINAL WORD is VOTE.

_{Greetings members. Any reaction to Rogers post would be greatly appreciated thank you. I have a showcase to do so i'll be on for awhile. Bizzy Thomas}

Dear Roger:

Thank You for making a fantastic post that was very productive and one that was full of caring.

As i had stated in my post, to volunteer takes a lot of passion, i should have also mentioned commitment as well.  Where I am "salaried" on BlogNet Awards, it takes a very very special person to do anything of this magnitude.


I think like anything else, it takes time to grow into a job ( paid or not).  The wise person will learn everything they can so that they can be held as transparent, professional and also credible.


The suggestions made by some today and over the last few days, were to help Kathleen as well as Thomas ( you are her partner)grow into a job that is ( and I know from experience) very very difficult. 

I wish you both only the very best.  If you need suggestions or ideas, I know that for myself and many others, we will be there for you, all you have to do is ask.


Have a terrific weekend and have fun.
