    Something Positive

    Down the pipe line, I'm planning on a site for people who want to exchange their arts and crafts, skills, with each other.
    Another partner will be dealing with education and home schooling.
    Another with music and so on as well as healing modalities.
    It is about supporting each other through the changes on a nuts and bolts level and linking in to different related communities, forums ( like this one ) and sharing and exchanging our skills.

    The plan is that you have your page where you can say or show what you can make or do, it can be anything, fresh home grown veg for a massage, display your paintings.

    My wish is for inclusion, co-operation and hopefully get a few things done, ie groups might like to help build a village in Africa.
    Just to be very clear I'm not proposing another site like TOT because you can come here for that and it's something I could of done some years back if I'd wanted to.
    I brought many people here over time, some have stayed some have gone. My advice is keep together, don't loose touch.

    Any one who's interested can email me.

    Down the line, if Malc's interested I can provide updates.

    What a wonderful idea! I can think of no better way to create an online sense of community and it sounds like a lot of fun. I am always blown away when someones says they have no creativity, they may not be an artist per say but maybe they cook, do canning, make great beer or sews, the list could be endless. I have never seen someone with no creativity , it's all in the way that you look at things. I think creativity is the thing that makes us human and without creative expression we will feel empty to some degree. Unfortunately I think our current culture discourages independent thinking which stifles creativity. So, BRAVO !!!!!! What a great idea!!!!

    It is a great idea and if we can get our gubmints to stop trying to tax or fee every transaction, things would be more robust.

    Shrinking gubmint and its abuses is on my to-do list. Having a good half of the populace on board would help greatly in this endeavor. Won't hold my breath.

    I hadn't planed on abanding TOT maybe a little less time spent here that's all.
    As it happens other things are pilling in, my mother's health for one.
    I'm also having very mixed feelings going on right now, tugging at me.
    I may have to get very focused for awhile.

    You only have to click on my name or avatar, you come to my page and the email symble is there towards the top left hand side.
