Yet Nannyde is the ONLY person (besides Michael) that uses their REAL NAME and REAL PICTURE!!!
I have tried to develop and maintain relationships through this forum. Others are right, it is the only source of communication some of us share with the same careers.
Keep in mind that everyone makes a name for themselves on here. Our perception of them or their views doesn't truly make them who they are. We can agree to disagree until we are blue in the face. You aren't going to know, I'm not going to know. In the end, our views are just that. We are individuals all here looking for things to talk about, seeking advise and sharing our experiences.
What I don't understand is why someone would want to change their name...especially after they have developed friendships or quite possibly taught someone a valuable lesson or key in this business.
If my user name was BOLOGNA GIRL than I want BOLOGNA GIRL to get the credit for helping out a fellow provider.
If I find help from MONKEY MAN, I want MONKEY MAN to know how much he has helped a fellow provider. Even years later. Hey Monkey Man, do you remember that thread about ABC?! Well to this day I took what you said and it has helped me in several situations! I can't thank you enough for your advice! You rock!
It's no different than who we are as people or going into witness protection. Do you really want people to forget you or the advice you gave or the side you stood on when an important topic came up? I sure don't!
DISCLAIMER: BOLOGNA GIRL and MONKEY MAN are fictional characters and are not intended to be derogatory towards anyone.

I agree with the point you are trying to make but I wanted to point out that there are other members here who do use their real names. I would rattle them off but it is kind of obvious who they are. Yet Nannyde is the ONLY person (besides Michael) that uses their REAL NAME and REAL PICTURE!!!
I also just wanted to say that I don't use my real name because when I signed up I wasn't sure what to expect as I didn't know anyone here and figured it was safer to be an avatar and made up name, but as I have gone along and gotten to know people here, I have no issue if others know who I am or what my name is. I don't hide it.
I have shared my handbook with others and it has my name and address on it. (heck, it even has my license # on it) I don't mind. I haven't changed my user name though to my real name for the exact reasons you mentioned: I want others to be able to track my advice, info and questions to the name they are already familiar with and know.
As a matter of fact if I could actually find a picture of myself that I liked (better than my cute little kitty cat) I would use it. It isn't like Nan is the only one who will share her private info so I don't think it is right to single her out for it in a negative or postive way.

On that note, I wished I did not have my name and picture on the forum after what happened on the Chat today. Lets just say I was speaking in private chat with a member (who I know very well) and wrote something that I thought was private, but I had written it in the public area.

"Anonymity" would have been nice.

nice one michaeleven though this thread is totally derailed (or detoured for the moment) it is awesome.
love all you guys, seriously
as for the names, I agree completely. I did change my username early on. I also let everyone know who i was, and why i changed it. For me I didn't want to lose my "past' or my "history" but I had googled myself several ways, and decided I no longer wanted to carry that name. At least for my privacy purposes. I don't necessarily have anything to hide, but even as an example, if my spouse were to come on here, he would know it was me by that username, and lets face it, I complain about him more on here then I have ever complained about daycare!

oh no.....tee hee Well, I hope it was all about me, because I would just forgive you and move on. Haven't we all done stuff like this? Said something and then wished we would have put a sock in it before we opened our mouths or digits. At least I would like to think I would forgive you and move on........I would try.I was basically mortifed
You can look me up all you want..........read my past views all you want. They change. I might think differently over a subject in the now, then I did back then....I have grown.

You know that is so true. After I make a stand on something, I often find myself re-evaluating what I thought and changing things again. oh no.....tee hee Well, I hope it was all about me, because I would just forgive you and move on.

Plus, like snowflakes, no two DCK's, groups or environments are the same so what once worked no longer does and vice versa...
I have often said, "I would never.." only to find myself doing so...
As far as saying things we shouldn't and then wishing we could've put a sock in it: welcome to my world!! I rarely wear socks but I should! LOL!!

Technically, 2 hours.
I spend around 30-60 minutes of that either preparing for days later in the week (copying pages from the curriculum), or preparing for the following week.
