Julie,

I (like all of us) have an experience of sticking my toe into the bored and being confused at best. This place is like a huge family. Each of us thinks we 'know' each other.

We have the ditzy one, we have the cranky one, we have the arrogant one, we have the philosopher, we have the bitter one, we have the polly-anna, we have the care-giver, we have the one who needs the care-giving, we have the stoopid one, we have the hopeful one, we have the pessimist and so on and so on.

All in all, no matter who feels what about whom - go ahead Ed, I can take being mocked (see, that is something you won't understand and others will) - we want each of us to have a shot at the hot seat - some want the shot before you get one, and they still want you to have a shot.

Good luck - work on responses to possible questions, get input on your application, get input on what you might be asked, use us. We actually like that.

Yes.
If 'second tier' is from 1K to 25K, I would say they all are.

Maybe we have more than one ditzy one?

If you can sum up with our personalities in a single word, that is. What do you call Kazoo? A generous helping of bitterness and frustration there, but also a deep well of naïve hopefulness...one e-mail can change the world and all that.

I don't even wanna know if I'm a specific member of this list. I think I've probably been all of them at one time or another, sometimes more than one at the same time.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Dang. Good point. Maybe I should try out for Pollyanna?

Jeez, if we go labelling everyone with a singel word, that is a bit scary really.

Can I be 'the-one-who-wants-everyone-to-come-over-to-their-house-so-I-could-make-them-something-to-eat-and-drink'?
