Retired Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Please chime in if you were a poster on the old board I loved the advise from the old board. When I first started homeschooling, the old board poster's were my "mentors" I never posted back then but read everything they posted. I know boards change, people move on, but I was just curious who was still hanging out here (that posted advise) not a lurker like myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've posted on the old board, but I'm not really an "old-timer" like some. We started homeschooling in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllll Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm still around. I see Janie pop in now and then. Not sure who else is here. Harder to see everyone with the new format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melhouse Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've been receiving advice from this board since 2003. I seldom post unless I really feel like I have advice that hasn't already been posted. (which is seldom):) Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary in KS Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 In 1999 I was "Hillary in ID." In 2001 I became "Hillary in WI." In 2004 I changed to "Hillary in KS." I miss a lot of the old posters too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was there, too. I've been posting a long time. We homeschooled for 15+ years but our four younger sons are in public school now....I went back to work. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisperlily Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 :seeya: I've been hanging around this group for the last 5 years or so, hoping they'll rub off on me. ;) I'm not around as regularly anymore, partly because we're not currently homeschooling, (maybe next year) and also because things have gotten extremely busy. I've never been able to "just lurk." I type about as fast as I can talk, and I''m always amazed when I read a two sentence response that covers everything I tried to say in three paragraphs. Maybe that's why the lurkers get popcorn? The rest of us can't eat and type at the same time. :) Psst... lurkers... If you pass me some popcorn, I'll probably stop typing/talking! :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was on the old boards 1999/2000 ish. I 'discovered' TWTM about that time and felt an immediate connection. It was what I was looking for. Still use the same moniker, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) I've been on the WTM board since 2006 (same user name), homeschooling since 2004. I was already following a WTM philosophy (I had the book) but didn't know anything about this website. I never went on the computer until we got high speed internet. I was just thinking about Church Pat of the Manor for some reason. Is she here under a different name?

Jill- OK Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was on the old boards 1999/2000 ish. I *know* was on at least during 1999, because I remember the Y2K concerns, lol. I don't post nearly as much as I did on the 'old' format, but I still read and post here, occasionally. It's too much fun and I feel too much of a connection to give it up, completely!

Janie Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I found TWTM after we had been homeschooling for 13 years (and basically doing it TWTM way all along :). Graduated all four kiddos--the youngest is now 21 yo! After that, I got my MA, substituted at the public high school, now teaching middle school history and English TWTM-way at a private Christian school and doing all I can to transition the school to classical. ...And I thought hsing was hard! Ha! :) I pop in every now and then......still with questions about middle school and SOTW stuff. I think I'll do this as long as the Lord keeps me breathing and walking. I just love this stuff! I miss seeing the old crew all together. We had some of the best discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in OH Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I began visiting the old boards in 1999--I've graduated one dd and only have about 4 more years with dd's at home. Last summer we moved from our isolated existence in rural OH to a suburb of a major city. My two remaining dd's are now in school, and they love it! I can't seem to leave this board behind, though.

Mary in NJ Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was on the old boards since 1999/2000. We move frequently, so I was Mary in ________ (ND, TX, SC, Germany, NJ, etc.) Sometimes I would just post as "Mary." I stopped doing that when someone else posted some snarky comments and used my name. I like this system better. No one can post using someone else's name. And for the record, I am no longer in NJ; I moved in June. I have thought about asking the moderators to change my name, but decided to just keep the name I have.

WTMindy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Long-time boardy here. Early 2001, I think. I used to be plain-old Mindy, but someone else kept posting under the same name so I switched to WTMindy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My twins are sophomores in college. The younger four are all doing very well in ps; we are lucky that we have an excellent school district.
