The class reunion turned out better than any of the planners expected, so thanks to everyone who attended and helped make it a success. I don’t even have a number of people there, but my best guess would be around 80+.
My camera is a very old one with about the resolution of most cell phones and but I did get a few photos. Hopefully I can get the gallery working and have it show up below:
For those that would like to add to the collection (and please, please do), email me your photos at: webmaster@mind-threads.com
Thanks Cathy Snead-Causey! Added 8 more photos.

This is a little early in my postings, but since I received this in the mail today I wanted to go ahead and warn others. Since I am listed as the owner of a few domains and this information is public and easy enough to look up, there is a company out there that’s trying to take advantage of other less knowledgeable users. The company is:
Domain Renewal Group, 2316 Delaware Ave #256, Buffalo, NY 14216-2587.
They send you this nice letter telling you that your domains are going to expire soon and if you’d like to renew them you can send them your payment. That’s nice, and they will renew your domains as advertised (as far as I know). My problem with them is that in doing so, you are going to pay about double the going rate AND you’ll also be transferring the ‘rights’ over to them to manage your domain. So if you later let the domain go, it’s theirs to do what they want (not godaddy, yahoo, or whoever you used to have). What this means for them is they get to auction the site off or put anything they want on it after you loose or choose to let it go. What if you miss a payment? Who knows what they’ll charge you to get it back?
Maybe you don’t care? But at the very least, why pay double to renew your site. That extra would pay for another month of hosting at most places.
Oh and I just checked.. They rate an ‘F’ with the Better Business Bureau. Probably for the same reasons I’ve mentioned above.

Today I’m opening up (yet again) another version/design of Mind-Threads.com. Like the internet and life in general, some things change, get better, and easier every day. So once again I’m back to using WordPress as the foundation of my site. I have over the years used Xoops, WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla.
The reason for the change was mainly due to Wordpresses new update system and it’s very, very, large selection of plug-ins and themes. While all of the above CMS/Blog software have some form of this, none is as currently active as WordPress. So with that, I’m back on board and have a little something different in mind for the site that I’ve really wanted to do.
My goal with this version of the site is to try and encompass everything I want to discuss or do. That is a VERY tall order and will likely take several months to accomplish even the basics. So please hang on, check back often and hopefully I’ll run across something that interest you personally. If I do: Please comment, email, or call and ask me. I’d love to expand or help you in any way I can. I want to help you and encourage you. If it’s nothing more than helping you find a local businesses phone number in my business directory I’d love to know I’ve helped you in some small way.
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the adventure with me.
