[LightningRip]

I'll go PM you.

[Rockin' On]

Hi Rip..
I cannot believe that you are the ONLY MENTOR there! Surely there is away tolet the older & well known scientsta that have been aroumd for a LONG time know they are bneeded and much appreciated as he peple on thelist" of mentors/helpers that would be of huge help toyou(andeveryone trying to get taught..I feel badly for even asking you to mntor me when I realized you are all alone to help the many
people clamoring for a mentor!
Its not far or even possible to you to be exected to help ALL the appprentices!!I hope that your situationimproves as far as being all alone in this peoject!!
Im going to see the page of people who have NDs ,many of whom offerred to be of help..dony drive yourslf crazy!!

Thanks, Rockin' On, I won't! 6zuzie6 offered to be a mentor, but is quite busier than me. ^.^ Part of the reason I have time is that I'm homeschooled andwhen I'm done I can get on the computer for a while! ^.^ And it's fine that you asked! Anyone who needs a mentor, even if I'm by myself, can have one!

[Rockin' On]

That is awesome thiking..but I am going to find & send you the link of all the "old-timers" who used to run a site...You should get in touch with some of these members,as Im SURE they would (many of them) be very glad to be of assisstance!
And better still..they all have mucho experiencein ND experiments & runnibg ND sites/keeping track of upcoming syuff..Back ASAP!

[LightningRip]

Well, I had an idea that once we have past apprentices, I could pair them with new apprentices. Kinda like an ND big bro/big sis.

[Rockin' On]

Good thinking..just gotta get the idea/news out to the people who could be good mentors,and make them realy WANT to be on the mentor list!!Im just trying to give you a bit of a nudge,as I now realize that in your position,theres no way you can help the people who will be doing upciming ND experiments..but you could get a great thing going on between the mentor list /& the apprentice list..and get the credit for helping us all!!
I kow you are a good person to offer everyone to be their mentor..but its just tooo much for any one person!!I would help you if you want me to ask some of my friewnds who have been doing it a long time ,most of them HAVE a ND,so that helpds too!!

Jewel of the Ocean: I got your PM about the banner and replied. You can PM me the banner anytime, and thanks!

Everyone: TO get news spread quicker, I will shortly be starting a weekly project newsletter! It will have the results of apprentices and mentors' experiments, tips, comments from "old-timers" etc. If anyone has any ideas, you can PM them to me or post them here. Also, for a few apprentices that have shown a lot of interest and skill in some areas, I will be offering them jobs if they want htem AFTER they finish apprenticeship. I don't want to get in the way of your learning with wokring! The first newsletter will be sent out this friday or saturday, depending on several things. My thanks goes out to everyone who has expressed their ideas and opinions to me!

I am really appreciative that someone decided to start this project..and its not even someone with a ton of NDs on scroll...which is really very gutsy & helpful to those of us who arent yet a ND 'owner'!!
Kudos to you RIP!! Hope to see your new newsletter out ASAP..looking forward to starting new ND experiment ASAP!

I'm also here on behalf of my husband, who can't be online as much due to work & finds communicating in english much harder than I do. I'll try to get him to come into the # this weekend, though. His experiment is due this Sunday, about 3:40 pm cave time.

5. Are you willing to be pmed by prospective mentees or the Project: Yeah but you'd have a better shot with someone on Dragon Cave Forums...

[LightningRip]

I'm so so so sorry for my absence. For some reason the forum base for the site wasn't letting me in, and when i tried to make a new account multiple times it wouldn't work. *sigh* Sorry again. Lessons will start up immediately to apprentices where they left off. New apprentices accepted I'll be PMing you shortly with further instructions. Welcome to the project!
up with I'll be staying up as late as it takes tonight to catch everything. Feel free to ask as many questions as you may have.

Again sorry for the dilemna!~
