Let's get to know each other

[CFpetRESCUER22]

just what the title says

thought it might be a good idea to get to know each other better since we are all working together here....

ISince I became a petRESCUER a few months ago I've not really got to know the others on here....seems like everyone comes here now and then to check on their pets but there's no communication in here!

when I was on holiday during the summer people on here didn't even reply when I asked them to keep an eye on my watchlist!!!! not to talk about the troubles we are having right now figuring out where everyone has gone to.....

in my opinion for something like this to work you need to communicate - and the easiest way to do so is to talk even if it's just about what you like to do or not....

that's just my two cents on this ...and so I thought I'd start this thread of where we can talk about everything - not only petRESCUE issues

be blessed <><

Great post. I too would like to work in a more friendly pet forum. Not saying anyone is not friendly, but we all rush in and out never taken time to ask our co-worker is there something we could help them do or just something so simple as to ask how are you today.

I have seen all of your posts and I know each one is very special. I need people like you in my life. A friendly hello and a smile will do so much to lift our spirits sometimes.

I just happened up on the scene about middle of Oct. and saw an opening for help and I jumped on it. Knowing nothing about the things to be done here. I have depended on #22 for everything. She has been a great source for information and inspiration.

When I saw Renuka over in the suggestion forum yelling for help and would not leave until she got it, I was saying to myself, Yea! You go girl, hang in there and she got the attention she was needing for help with the pets.

I am here with nothing but plenty of time and will be eager to help any or all that need help. I am a grandmother and know all about taking care of little ones so if any of you need help or just a shoulder I am here.

 

[CFpetRESCUER22]

thank you so much

you actually were the first one I got to know on here as well....had seen some of the other petRESCUERS but never really talked to them before you pmed me for help

 

[cffosterAngel6]

You have been an angel for me. I have learned all I know from you. You are a great leader.

Maybe others will check in and let us meet them. I know we have several that have put their name on the list so maybe we can get them to tell us about themselves.

 

[CFpetRESCUER3]

Great idea girls.....just what we need .....communication

 

[CFpetRESCUER22]

yep

so how is everyone today?

I've been shopping this morning with my mum we had a lot of fun...and then I went to clean at the book store I'm working at....just came home an hour ago and had lunch

Hi Kittystrawberry, Nice to meet you. How long have you been a pet worker? Is there anything you would like to tell us about yourself. We are trying to get to know each other better so we can have a friendship and fellowship as well as a working relationship. I have posted about myself somewhere lol but if you want to know anything about me, I will be glad to answer. bfly

Hi Bfly!
I think it is cool that you are a grandmother. I have no children or grandchildren. But of course I wouldn't be able to have one until I am married. I have been a pet rescuer for 11 months. I am very quiet and withdrawal, even in real life. I would really love to get to know you.

 

[cffosterAngel6]

Hi sweety, I would just love to get to know you better also. I live out in the country down here in Alabama. I have chickens, dogs and cats galore. I have always been a stay at home person. Always had a yard full of kids playing at my house. I am right at home with kids and animals. I guess we have had about every kind of animal you can think of and many of them stray that had been abandoned.

Yes, I had thought you were sorta quite. Do you go to school? You have been working with the pet a long time. You must know how to do everything with them. CfPr#22 has helped me learn what I know. I have not met many of the ones that work with the pets. How often do you check in with the pets?

 

[CFpetRESCUER20]

My extended family made me attend school this fall. I am working toward my bacholar degree in science.

The only thing I haven't yet gotten around to is to adopt a pet at the end of the month. I have no memory as to if I ever adopt a pet or not. I tried to check in around my schooling. Sometime I check in everyday, every other day or every three days.

Here is the link to the request to Erwin for help. You might want to post on it also.

ba in science that is very smart. I had to struggle to pass 9th grade science.lol

 

[CFpetRESCUER22]

I loved science at school...especially Chemistry and physics that's really cool

 

[cffosterAngel6]

Good moring Ainuhina
Well I can see I am out of my class with you two. Science just was not my favorite subject.
I guess God had other plans for me. He bless me with a dear loving husband and two great kids and now with 3 grandkids.

I had to disect a frog in biology and thought I would die. lol Not a pretty sight. Guess I better start making pet rounds. Hope you have a great day. bfly

 

[CFpetRESCUER22]

good morning

that's great...God has a plan for each of us

what was your fav. subject back in school?

 

[CFpetRESCUER20]

My favorite subject is Math. I was pretty rotten when holding up a dead frog because I used to hold it right in my bestfriend's face.

I read the other thread. REminder: If we want to save pets, we have to put our in day care for a time and then adopt another pet to put in daycare. And when our pet is return to us after day care, the other will be return to the adoption center because we can only have one pet at a time in our profile. And we will already have one pet showing in our profile, which make no room for the other pets to fit in.

It look like we are going to have to pick up more pets to take care of
until Dr. CF come back. It look like we are going to have to assign active cfpetrescuers more pets until DR. CF come back.
People with odd number in username get odd pet number
People with even number in username (such as me) be given even pet number to take care of.

I hope the senior pet rescuers will come up with something.

 

[cffosterAngel6]

Wow you really held a frog in your best friend's face. And you are shy. You done a bad thing. What would you do to your not so good friend? oooo

Yes I think we will have to look after more pets until we can get help. Just have to check on them as they come I guess. I have cliked on close to 200 today but most of them were doing alright. What I am doing is going ahead and trying to get them to 50% hunger or less and play with them and then I want have to check on them for 2-3 days and they will be alright.

 

[CFpetRESCUER22]

wow 200 pets on a day....I couldn't do that - but I'm at university and have to work as well

I'm a little worried we may be moving toward being even less chatty than we were a few months ago. The more organized we are, the less we need to communicate.

Now, we can't see the pet rescue forum from our regular accounts, and it's not as easy to just drop in and see what's up and if there are new threads.

I'm ravenscape, and I joined CF almost 2 years ago (December 19, 2004 -- I'm coming up on my second anniversary -- I never dreamed I'd find so much to enjoy at CF when I first joined).

I mostly hang out in the armory forums these days, though I still visit the discussion and debate area where I first began posting. I try to keep an eye out for new members, especially non-Christian members and help them feel welcome. A lot of non-Christians don't even drop by the say hello/introductions forum when they join -- they head straight to the debate areas. So, some kind of fall through the cracks sometimes, and don't feel an immediate connection to the community. They may not even know who to ask about some of the CF features they see in the posts.

I was lucky not to fall through the cracks due to some very sweet CFers who made me feel quite welcome. So, I try and pay it forward.

I joined the armory design team at the start of the huge redesign of Summer 2005, when we introduced the characters, and I've been pixilating ever since. I've met so many CFers as a result of being on the armory design team, people I might not have gotten to know otherwise.

I think that's one of the potential benefits of joining the CF Pet Rescuers. We get a chance to interact with people who may hang out in parts of CF that we don't often visit. It's a good job for people who are relatively new to CF, but who've been around long enough to figure out the ropes.

good morning

that's great...God has a plan for each of us

what was your fav. subject back in school?

So many subjects, so little time! Basically, I loved all subjects except math. When I went to college, I overcame my math phobia and went on to major in computer science.

My first love, the very first classroom subject that set my brain on fire was a poetry unit we did in 3rd Grade. I spent the rest of the year writing poetry every spare minute.

In 4th grade I transferred to a school in a different state. We did a poetry unit in that class, and I wound up in school trouble for the first time. I used everything I'd learned about rhyme, meter and alliteration when it was time to the students to write their own poems. The teacher was certain I'd copied it from somewhere and gave me a failing grade.

My mom came to the rescue. She brought in a box full of pages with the poems I'd been writing since 3rd grade. The teacher reluctantly changed my grade. I don't think she ever really believed I wrote the poem myself.

 

[CFpetRESCUER20]

Bfly, that was in middle school. I could never hold a frog in the face of my enemies. I am now in college so I wouldn't do those stuff again.

You check 200 pets in a day? I couldn't do that much.

 

[cffosterAngel6]

Hi Kittystrawberry, I saw you on and tried to get down here to say hello but as usual I got started doing something and never got back.

You can check 200 pets aday. Most of the was just clicked on them and went on to the next ones. If I had to care for that many it would kill me and I don't think I would hardly get 50 taken care of.

I bet you would hold a dead frog in someones face now. You have to be careful of those shy girls, they will get you when you are not looking. heheheheh
