People usually don't pay attention to things like that until they begin to search for it...at that point, they would find a thyroid group on the interent anyway if they have a computer. I deal with my " thyroid ministry " in other ways...through my clients, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Debbie, I like the magnetic sign idea!! Good idea. I will contact a member who does designs and see what we can come up with. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Sounds good, and It would be interesting to see if we can get them on cars in all 50 states! Advertise on Shoman's site! Patti in MI Billboard I posted the following yesterday morning. Got only two comments back. I'm thinking the boards been so busy, it might have gotten overlooked....or maybe it's a bad idea and no one wants to say so. Anyway, I would like responses, even if negative. My post is bellow along with the two comments. Blessings, Debbie K. PS: I don't think this is OT as we are talking about trying to get the word out Speaking of helping people, I've been thinking about that billboard idea someone started a while back. It all got started when I saw a magnetic sign on the back of a pick-up. It was a political sign about 18in x 24in (45x60 cm I think for you UK'ers). I've been thinking if we came up with a really good sign and an easy to remember web link (like thyroidhelp.com or something) that could point to our sight, I'd be more than glad to pay for it and put it on my auto. I don't know what the signs would cost, but for just a few dollars, you can register a domain name and also subscribe to a forwarding service so that anyone who types in the domain name would be directed to this site. Blessings, Debbie K. Blessings, Debbie K. I think the magnetic sign idea sounds great, and much more affordable than a billboard. I would put a sign on my vehicle. Magnetic signs can go on any vehicle you are driving -- portability -- and they are quite durable if made properly. Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Ya know - I am smart.... I hope you didn't mean that sarcastically. We don't do that here. From your posts, I couldn't tell that you meant to include all that info. What I meant is that if we want magnets on cars in every state, we would want to get the info out where LOTS of people see it. 's site has a great-bigger following than ours. RE: Billboard Wow!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Patti! I did not mean that sarcastically. I don't do that either--not here or anywhere else. I really meant I thought you were very smart to think of advertising (or announcing) on 's site. Please don't be offended. Also, in my original post I mentioned about comming up with a really short easy to remember web address. (I think I said something like thyroidhelp.com.) Anyway, I thought if we get others involved (ie, promoting it) we might have the web address go to a single page that had links to this site, 's site, and any other really really good ones. Please respond so I know you are clear on this. Blessings, Debbie Re: Billboard Ya know - I am smart.... I hope you didn't mean that sarcastically. We don't do that here.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up - that whole " tone of the written word " thing again! No offense taken, and I am sorry I over-reacted. Patti RE: Billboard Wow! Aren't you smart. That link I was talking about could have links to this site, 's site and any others appropriate. Debbie K.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Don't apologize for over reacting. After you pointed it out, I could easily see how it was misintrepreted. I'm just so glad that you said something rather than just assuming it was meant hurtfully and then always having a bad opinion of me. One thing I like about all who participate here is that when we get offended, we speak up then things are either set straight or the offender owns up to it and apologizes. I admire anyone who can apologize and would rather have them for a friend any day. Thanks again, Blessings, Debbie K.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 How's this for a billboard: The scene is a medieval dungeon. Chains dangle from the walls. A guard patrols grimly in the background, perhaps wearing a white coat and one of those shiny forehead things. Rats scurry around. You get the idea. In the center is a dark cell with iron bars set into the brickwork. Inside the cell is a very colorful butterfly (blue morpho?), gripping the bars with its feelers and wearing a weary, but determined, look on its face (n.b. find out if butterflies have faces). Underneath, the caption reads in bold red letters: FREE T3! Should start a few conversations, anyway. -- prr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Bravo! Well said. Another thing I keep in mind is that since we are at different levels of alleviating our thyroid symptoms, anyone can be having a major brain-fog or moodiness that day that shouldn't be held against them.... What a wonderful group to hang out in! Thanks again, Debbie.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Incredibly interesting. I love it. Now we need a rich patron!!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Back to the discussion about the billboard - Someone once mentioned the need for a dot-org that they could send their doctor to. Perhaps we also need a dot-org web address along with the dot-com, so we can rope in the the docs too... Just a thought. Maybe advertise the dot-org, and then for those who don't specifically look for that have a parallel site - the dot.com redirect to the dot.org.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Good idea Patti. Both the dot com and the dot org can direct to one site. I suggested that it (or they) direct to a single page with links to this and other good sites, but now that I think about it perhaps they should direct to this site only. That way, we don't have to has anyone or any group police who gets on and who doesn't. I think we should just direct to this site only. They can find out about the others once they get here..........But then again, Shoman sure does have an awesome site.....Always two sides to every issue. Blessings, Debbie K.
