Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz From a Fellow Canadian

Greetings From Beautiful British Columbia. Have a great long weekend,.

Welcome, Nichelle! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the board and plan on staying. Maybe we can help you figure out what's happening with your points. How long have you been an agent. I know that quality and participation points expire after a year. Maybe that's what's going on.

And on a personal note, congratulations on your decision not to have kids. I have four, but only because that was what was right for us. It's wonderful that you're making this decision, rather than let yourself be pressured into a life that is not right for you.

Hello from Atlanta Georgia. I am new to this site as well and am lovin it. I find out more bzz stuff here than on the bzzagent site.

Welcome Nichelle!

welcome! I saw your question on the beelog about losing a tier andf I saw the response, lol. If you want an answer on why you dropped, you have to email the hive, they wont help you from the beelog.

Welcome, Nichelle!

Hello and welcome from the London area! I'm 0.1 point away from losing tier 3 right now too. Were you in the Silk campaign last year? I think it's from those points expiring right now. I'm not impressed, but hopefully if this new system ever gets going we'll gain some of that status back. Be careful about hanging around here though -- Now that I see how many campaigns they get offered in the US I'm pretty bitter about being judged by the same scale as they are!

Nichelle, that's my daughter who was jumping up and down on the bed at the time.

The friends I have who've decided not to have kids usually get the same reaction that you've gotten. And I often have people think I'm crazy for having four kids. But this is such a personal decision. You can't let someone else decide that for you.

As for your score, here's the system:

On your BzzAgent home page, you can click on Tier (upper left on the page) and see the breakdown of all the quallity and participation points that you've earned in the past year. You add all your campaign quality points together, divide by the number of campaigns in the past year, and you should have your overall quality score. If your math does not match BzzAgent's math, wait one day and see if it clears up overnight. If it still doesn't match, there's an error they need to fix.

Our families and most of our friends just don't understand. But shouldn't you do the right thing instead of ruining some poor innocent child's life because you couldn't manage birth control?

I love that statement.

Hey nichelle! welcome!

Looks like karen explained why you lost teir status, glad you are able to get back up so quickly though! and yes, bombard them with all your reports!

And I agree, if you dont want kids noone should pressure you. I think its more of a misery loves company deal LOL (this from someone who has spawned 4 of the misery inducing creatons..

Hi Nichelle and Welcome! It's great to have you here

Nice to see more Canucks signing up! Greetings from the upper beaches area of Toronto!

Nichelle, I knew when very young that I didn't want kids and had myself "spayed" - I'm 51 now and do not regret that choice at all! Heck, more people should do it - there are so many unwanted children and badly cared for kids out there these days it just breaks your heart!

Hi Nichelle! I love your name, you're the first Nichelle I've ever "met". I have to agree on the no kids thing. I tend to be a pessimist and were I starting over right now I'm not sure I'd want kids either. Mine are 17 and 21 and I can say that you NEVER stop worrying about them.
My opinion is that when people try to sway you to have kids they're really just jealous of the freedom you'll have from all the baggage kids bring into your life. Plus, I think it's selfishness on the part of parents. I myself want another baby around (I really really want Tara's baby in a basket (see her avatar!)) so I'm hoping for a grandchild or 2 in the future.

Hi Nichelle,
I am Canadian as well!
Living in Missouri via England (married to an English Man).
All 3 of my sibs are still in Canada and ALL Bzzagents.

Hey Alana! YAY!!! Another Canadian transplant! I love it that you married an English man!! You can't imagine (or maybe you can) the number of people who don't understand why I married a "foreigner". LOL! What a hoot!

I also think it is cool that all of your sibs are all Canadians and all are BzzAgents!!! WHOO HOO!!! We rock!

By the way, how is the pool situation going? I was telling my hubby about your issue and he thought it sounded horrible.

Have a great day!!!

I have two that you can borrow and they'll sit in laundry baskets if you tell them that they're pirate ships!
