Thanks Bob!!  I know it was time consuming.  Some questions surprised me.  The biggest one...


Does the group leave the room in an acceptable manner? 


Who cleans up the fish?


I plan to go back over this several times and look at questions and see what I can do personally, to make MIP a better home for all.  This of course being the idea of your time consuming project.  I encourage all to take a few minute  and do the same.

I don't understand about fish and trout, but I think it is telling that a vast majority will gossip about other members or repeat things they heard in meetings. And no one said they always talk to and welcome new members! Am I reading this right? I hope someone can tell me I am not. Diva

11 said they sometimes gossip about another.


40 some said they never do.


 


Would like to see 100% Never gossip about another member.


Senora, great job, and thank you ever so much for posting.

Yes, OK. It makes much more sense now that the categories' names have been reshuffled.
