Thankyou very much for the acknowledgement  @Owlunar @Mazarita @outlander @Adge @CheerBear and anyone I've missed.  This really made my day yesterday and today.  Thanks heaps for the nomination @Shaz51

Loooong time no see @Owlunar - great to see you.  It's been ages since our paths crossed.  I hope things are going ok for you.

Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member  I've been wondering what it takes to become a 'community elder'.  I've been around on the lived experience forum since 2014.

Hi @eth

I am so glad to hear that it made your day - anything that makes our day is a good thing

There are times when I don't come into the forums - I may be feeling unhappy about something personally or generally unwell physically - I have just had an annus horribilis - if the Queen can have a bad year I can certainly and I did

It was one health issue after another - mostly my right knee but also other things like several weeks on the wrong medication for my blood pressure - but it's over now - I made up my mind that August 2017 was the beginning when I tripped and twisted my right knee and needed surgery on it to August 2018 and I have celebrated by organising myself into a few days at Cairns in a few weeks.I am really looking forward to it and how great if we can have an on-line pool party while I am there

I can hardly wait to go swimming in this poolI have never been to the tropics before

hey @Owlunar we will definitely organise an online pool party while you are in Cairns - that one should be easy to organise - you will have to post a picture of the pool and I can insert other images into it so it feels like we are there with you

Great question @eth The "Community Elder" title is provided to members who have previously been part of the Community Guide program.

Thanks @Former-Member  I was asked a few months ago to be a Community Guide but wasn't able to take it on at that time.  Ready and willing whenever the next opportunity comes up.

[Former-Member]

That's great @eth We'll keep you in the loop when we're looking to take on some new Community Guides 😊

[Shaz51]

Wonderful @eth, you will be a great community guide xoxo 

Hey @Owlunar, wave to me as you go pass my house , wish I could meet up with you xx
