Gather.com, a free service to “keep up with the people, conversations, and moments that matter,” was started by Tom Gerace and the American Public Media Group (APMG) in 2005.

Gather.com a platform for the over-30 crowd to chat about topics that are meaningful to their lives. You “gather” with other users who share your interests; people you may not have an opportunity to meet in our everyday life.

This is a place for bloggers who are interested in a company that offers branded communities and revenue sharing. The more popular your posts, the more points you earn and the more ad revenue you can garner.

You can find me there as Faydra Deon (of course! haha) Visit Gather.com to see what it’s all about!

My Question of the Day: Every other Friday, a parent has the option to volunteer to read to your child’s preschool class during story hour. Before s/he can do so, s/he must inform the teacher what book s/he plans to read. The teacher then sends permission slips home with each student that lists the name of the book to be read, the parent reading the book and asking you to check “yes” or “no” to your child participating in that story hour.

Your preschooler comes home with a permission slip that states the next reading will be by so-and-so’s parent and the book s/he will be sharing with the class is Heather Has Two Mommies by Lesléa Newman. The story hour is a week and a half away and the permission slip has to be returned in three days. What do you do?
