I did not realize until I read my iVillage CL newsletter this week that it is my 8th anniversary as a CL!

Wow!! Thats awesome Roni!!!! Congratulations!!!

Heres my story-

I was living in the USA with H, and was there as a tourist,and with Kip working full time, I had way too much time on my hands, so I went to the library, and discovered the very cool redbook magazine, so I borrowed as many as I could(over a period of a few weeks)and in it I found the website for women.com, so I looked at it, and became a member and posted frequently on the message boards, and then the merging of websites..and here i am today!

I dont remember how I came across you specifically though Roni, but you have helped me out over the years, and have become a great friend!

:)

You rule!


I found iVillage while a friend and I were arguing about something - I don't even remember what it was, but there was some question about feminism.

That's awesome K-roni!!

I am so happy to have you here! I love this board and all the information I know I can get here. Plus I can't beat all the funny posts and stories! I love it here!


I found iVillage by accident on July 3rd, 2003. My two furball cats were driving me and the BF crazy at night by meowing at the door. I was looking for a pet psychic or something to that effect when I stumbled across the "Think Like a Cat" message board (no longer around) which was hosted by Pam Bennett-Johnson, feline behaviourist. She helped us out, I stuck around talking about my cats and slowly ventured out to the rest of iVillage.


I didn't have any reservations about chats..but being on the opposite side of the world limits when I cam make it to chats..

Hi Karen!!!
congratulation on your awesome anniversary, I hope you will celebrate with a great meal!

My story is as follow:

In Feb. 1996, I moved to the US from Switzerland with my baby daughter (4 months old), to follow my then husband. I immediately loved the place, the lifestyle, the opportunities... but it was tough, as a professional, to spend my time as a SAHM (never been much at patience) and I grew bored. I started reading tons, and worrying about how my little one would learn languages, and how I could deal with all the parenting issues. So, I went online (I had cable already, blissful thing, in Cambridge, MA), and started plodding around. Guess what? I found Parentsoup.com, that merged soon after into IVillage.

I had there my e-mail for years and years - with my real name, Chiara@ivillage.com. I loved it! Then, during some site re-hauling, I lost the email, and did not subscribe for the paying service...

In the meanwhile, my daughter grew up. I got very ill, then well again. I went back to work. I split from my husband. I moved back to Europe.

But over all these changes, I still haunt these places. I never volonteered for CL - not much time nowadays... but I know that life is long and that there are lots of opportunities down the road. WHo knows!!!

I love your food forum, Karen. food is a great equalizer, and a fantastic luxury at the same time. And I really like to read of your approach to some foods (even if mine, living far away, is sometimes different).

Hugs. Have fun. Enjoy your food. And smile.

Chiara

Mel, I don't recall how I bumped into you, either, but I am so glad that I did!

It is our second home, isn't it? I don't know how would have survived many things without iVillage members to hold me up...so much love from so many corners of the world, and it just gives one strength to move ahead.

I remember meeting you, Heather, on a CL team board, and I cannot recall what clicked between us, but I can guarantee it was something funny.
