    Thanks everyone. It really is good to be part of this


    Katherine,

    It does get easier to navigate the forums after a while. It gets more and more exciting the higher you will go in levels. The reading, ie. learning doesn't stop though

    Congratulations Petra! This year has really went fast for most of us. It is very encouraging to hear that you have worked multiple assignment!
    May God Bless You in the PI Business!

    Patrice,

    Thanks for dropping by It's been a rush alright, lol. You had your anniversary right around the same time as I did. How have things been for you?

    I could have done even more assignments but so many had restrictions, or they were hours away from my location. Sometimes you are just not fast enough to answer and they will give the assignment to someone else... that's life in the fast lane, lol. You take care now and I will see you around

    I can't wait until I get a year under my belt. I am a newcomer but very eager to learn.

  5. I'd like to say that as a newcomer reading this kind of post affirms my decision to join the organization. I had a seven year hiatus from the workforce and combined with my age couldn't decide if it was the right move. Time will tell but I don't feel like I've fallen into an unrealistic expectation. Thanks

    Corinne,

    Nothing unrealistic about getting some hours in with IPIU. I am glad you have joined us and I am sure you will like what you see. It takes some time but it is well worth it, trust me. I, too, was unsure what I wanted to be when I grow up. Never thought I could make this (more a dream than anything) become reality.

    I have also fiddled with many areas but nothing has ever really got me going like the idea of one day getting my PI license. I wish you good luck and hope to see much of you in the forums. Take care.

    Hello Petra. Yes, we have started at the same time in this wonderful family. I know you will agree that we have learned jewels of info. Yes, this is true that some of the assignments are far. You are in Georgia so check out ShopNChek, mystery shopping. This is free shopping with no money down. I had almost moved to Atlanta 2 years ago.
    I am doing my Masters in Criminal Justice at Capella University (on-line). I want my own PI business.
    God Bless You Richly In Your Career.

    Kalvin,

    Thank you for dropping by. I am always glad if I can help out. Should it be with anecdotes or in any other areas. Got to give back a little of all the positive I have received here so far since joining in 2004

    You take care now and do let us know if you need help in anything. See you in the forums.

    Hi Petra;
    I'm doing well, considering the "problems" the last few weeks, but things are getting back to normal now. Take care and have a nice weekend.

    Thanks, Lynne. I really don't put much stock in that, and now, by answering you, I've busted that nice round number
    How's your day going?

    Thanks again and you are welcome, too, Lynne. Yes, it gets more exciting by the day, lol... and I am in good company, so it's twice as much fun to continue

    I've had some more probs with my computer the last few days and had no clue that this thread has been visited so well in the past few days. Sorry, for making you wait...

    I think the less said on this topic by "us males" the better off we will all be.

    Lynne,

    Anytime, dear... If I can help, I'll be there. Happy New Year to you and your family. Take care.

    PS: Did you know this thread may well end up on being on top of the testimonials list again...

    To Petra -

    Lynne in her most Groucho-like voice says, "Now that's the best idea I've EVER hoid." I've had way too much fun today. Imagine how we'll be when you actually hit your two year anniversary.
