Jump on my Triond Bandwagon

by Glynis Smy, Nov 13, 2008

I got the idea for this through another Triond writer's article...

I read an article by Lauren Axelrod ( her article ) and it inspired me to start my TRIOND BANDWAGON.

The idea is to add 2 of your friends' profile links to the comment box, now if you see they are already listed by another then please add someone else, that way, for example; Chan Lee Peng, Christy Tuller, R J Evans, Anne Lyken Garner and Louie Jerome will not be listed several times. ( You are allowed to add these names in the comment box, I have just used some of my origional Triond friends names for examples). I appreciate time is of the essence so I will not kick you off the wagon if it happens, we are friends! ;)

The idea is to pay it forward, share a friend's work within the Triond community. You will be able to come back and forth to find a new writer recommended by another and build a list of quality writers in your friends section. The Trolls, as Lauren likes to call them will not be amongst those in the list, as they have no work to see! I know there are works out there I would love to read but with the way Triond is growing I will never get the chance, well until now, now I will find out new Triond writers and contributors by checking out my BANDWAGGON.

I have many friends on Triond and I know I will not offend or hurt them if I have not mentioned their names, I support them in many other ways. The idea is to have fun with the band wagon and maybe go off and design your own (NO Bandwagon 2 titles please).

Let's play Jump on The Bandwagon! Have Fun!

Now this is a marvelous idea, indeed!

I nominate my friends Rask Balavoine for his funny views on Ireland plus many things else and lindalulu for her lovely thoughtful texts.

Thanks Glynis, I leave your nomination to your friends of longer standing ;)

This is a good idea, Glynis and should be a lot of fun too.

I would like to nominate papaleng https://www.triond.com/users/papaleng

This is a great article, Glynis. I hope this goes a long way.

CHAN LEE PENG, Nov 13, 2008

Aha..your bandwagon is very cute. Out of the four people, one is found obviously BROWN, who's him actually? Maybe, next time, we should have a huge one to accomodate more writers lol...

Take care and rest well.

My name is Brown, but I am white.

#12 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 13, 2008

Lindalulu and Mark Gordon Brown ~ 2 of my Triond friends~ I recommend them highly.

Hey Mary you are forgiven! I have the same problem. Thanks for your recommendations:
PR Mace (Pam), RJ Grant and Peter cimino brace yourselves the Bandwaggon is on its way! It is rolling faster than I thought! At some point I will have to take a back seat and allow it to roll alone

#24 by

Debra Mann, Nov 13, 2008

Intelligent idea! I would like to recommend Rj Grant and Aesaellis because I think they are both under rated and are such exceptional writers, and also thank you Rj for recommending me.

Aesaellis is a new name for me

aisaellis, Nov 13, 2008

This one is really cool. I did not expect that I will find my name there.
I have found many great writers here in triond and I highly nominate
Gordon G

and how can I forget?

Debra Mann
https://www.triond.com/users/Debra+Mann

(She\'s one of the great writers here plus a big heart for everyone too)

Oh eventhough I didn\'t nominate them, i would like to give credit to TLRoach and Ca Johnson

Try to check their work too and you will see that they are great writers too.

Thank you debra for introducing this Triond bandwagon to me. It made my triond experience meaningful.

And I salute the woman behind this one(Glynis Smy. You made a good job on this one. A very brilliant idea that could help us interact and meet triond members.

1. Lucy Lockett - she's a shining star
2. Francie - who used to be more active on the site
3. Joe Poniatowski - who's not only a gifted writer, but a loyal friend
4. Chris Stonecipher - a kind hearted writer
5. poetic enimga - who always leaves wonderful comments and who's work is beautiful
6. TP Sage - who's poetry is breathtaking...

I could go on and on!

-Liane Schmidt.

#43 by

Mary Contrary, Nov 14, 2008

Just wanted to say Bless you Glynis for bringing all of us together! I wish we lived closer. I think we would be really great friends! :)

#44 by Reader groups, Nov 14, 2008

I vote for CHAN LEE PENG as he writes excellent articles, particularly his health articles, complete and detailed. We've benefited greatly from his articles.

Next, I'd vote for judy sheldon, valli, goodselfme and BC Doan for their great works. Their URL are as follows:

https://www.triond.com/users/Judy+Sheldon
https://www.triond.com/users/Goodselfme
https://www.triond.com/users/BC+Doan
https://www.triond.com/users/valli

I'm voting them from my view of their quality pieces, and also from a view out of Triond community. Hopefully, their works are appreciated greatly. Thanks!

#45 by

PR Mace, Nov 14, 2008

Wow what a great idea. Thank you my friends for adding me to the bandwagon. I have been out for a few days with a cold. I want to add my friends: Nobert Soloria Bermosa, Mary Contary and you Glynis. You guys are great Triond friends. I would love to be on a wagon with you anytime. Let us not forget a good friend that is having some personal problems and is not writing at this time. My first Triond friend Nick Kenney. Please go back and read some of his older works he is a great writer and good friend. My best to all my friends,keep writing, Pam

#46 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 14, 2008

While I sleep you are like little mice gathering nibbles and treats! I love the fact I got a recommendation thanks Pam!
Nick Kenney and Francie have been quiet lately but their work is still out there to be read.
Lianne added some new names for me to go and see.
Mary I think it would be one big happy party if we all got together!

I notice the 2 recommendations is slipping away from the Bandwaggon, but as so many are duplicated I will let it go ;))

well we certainly are growing, waggon no:3 is attached and waiting to be filled. All Aboard!

#47 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 14, 2008

Kim Buck ~ http://www.triond.com/users/Kim+Buck

Athlyn Green ~ https://www.triond.com/users/Athlyn+Green

#48 by RJ Evans, Nov 15, 2008

What a great idea!

Gosh - only two! Many of my favouries have already been mentioned... I will go for these two... (or maybe three)

https://www.triond.com/users/Anne+Lyken+Garner - Anne Lyken Garner always produces work that is thought provoking and often funny!

https://www.triond.com/users/Nelson+Doyle - Nelson has been on Triond forever and continues to produce great stuff

https://www.triond.com/users/thestickman - the stickman for his lovely, quirky, cartoony takes on his family life!

There are more - can't I mention more,, Glynis?!?!

#49 by

R J Evans, Nov 15, 2008

I was in such a rush to do this that I forgot to add my creds... just so you know the above was really me, here we go!

#50 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 15, 2008

See the excitement of the Bandwaggon got to you RJ, ahh the stickman ~ I have read and love his cartoon expression of love for his wife, this man is clever~check him out
Nelson Doyle wears the Triond T shirt and Anne is writing a brilliant book, based on her own life, is a model, wife, actress and a very supportive friend.

OK RJ 'cos you and I have the same sense of humour you can place 4 more BUT they must not have already been mentioned ;))))
I am so glad you didn't miss the chance for your ticket my friend!

#51 by

Gordon G, Nov 15, 2008

Wow this has taken off... Glynis I must admit this list is how I found you. A Trion friend told me she had nominated me on the bandwagon and I had to ask what that was and she linked me to the article. I read it and quickly added you to my personal list just so I could keep up. I have also been trying to decide who on my list of freinds I should nominate so here are just a few...

Aisaellie https://www.triond.com/users/aisaellis she writes some good articles and has potential and could use some help and encourgement..

loafer https://www.triond.com/users/loafer is also great

and If I can be allowed just one more

Karelee https://www.triond.com/users/Karelee she is awsome and we have talked on many subjucts

thanks again

#52 by

sue mcverry, Nov 15, 2008

#72 by

Brian Daniel Stankich, Nov 16, 2008

Ok, so I read this yesterday when it was a snowstorm. Today it is an avalanche!! Well, I wanted to nominate Debra Mann but several others already did it!!

I suggest Jo Bingham, especially A Friend Worth Keeping.

I would like to encourage a young man \'p3y\'. He has written one article under a bit of duress from the financial crisis. Send him some love and encourage his writing abilities!

I also want to encourage you to reel in Wizard Brown. He was my very first friend - we all remember those! He hasn\'t had a chance to write lately, but has a strong contribution to make in the area of sports journalism.

Brian

Gabbic, sleep tight knowing you did not cheat and the names you mentioned will get a viewing I am sure. I will check out jaybeef. As for lindalulu's Reading it Forward, it is a hit, it is a wonderful idea.

#75 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 18, 2008

well I think it is safe to say the wagon has slowed a little to catch its breath, I need to, boy what a ride. Thanks to all who come and go with their recommendations, I certainly have made new friends with fantastic works to see. While I have got a moment I will write a couple of poems!

#76 by

Christy Tuller, Nov 18, 2008

Thank you so much for including me in your article! This is a wonderful idea and I would like to add Aaron Hanlon who's comedy is wonderful and Jackie Stroud-Painter who has a wonderful romantic streak! I have so many wonderful friends here it was hard to decide.

I look forward to visiting some of the others on your wagon as well! Sorry for the delay in taking a ride, been camping for the last six days :0)!

#77 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 19, 2008

Hi Christy so glad you found your ticket!

I have read a funny piece of Aaron\'s work before, he has a ticket to ride.
Melody welcome back, there is always a ticket here for you, your recommendations are welcome!
Next stop? Who knows!!

Lucas Dié, Nov 20, 2008

Well, I am slowly catching up with all these recommendations :)

It's marvelous what you did here Glynis, it is so much fun.

While it is quiet here I would like to sneak in two of my very first friends:

Routledge, whose articles are always good for a laugh
and
Autumnrose, especially her Darwinator

Glynis Smy, Nov 20, 2008

Hi Lucas
I am catching my breathe now, the support has been incredible, I will look up your recommendations, I hope they collect their tickets to ride!

#82 by M J katz, Nov 22, 2008

What a great idea! As I was scrolling down...and down...and down...in order to nominate two writers who have given me so much support and help, I was surprised to find that both of them got here first and mentioned me...a newbie!
Thank you both so very much! A person couldn't ask for better friends!
I nominate Christine Ramsey for her poems that speak directly to the heart, and Eddiego65 for his unusual, interesting, and witty articles. I promise that if you read their works, you won't be disappointed!
And Glynis has a kitty photo that would make even a grumpy person smile. You can find it at http://www.picable.com/Architecture/Gardens/When the World Gets Tough Hide.250041
Happy reading, everyone!

Glynis Smy, Nov 23, 2008

M J Katz has her ticket to ride, I have seen her work and I tell you now you will not be disappointed!!

Today Allison West gets a ticket to ride, she has so many articles I find interesting, I know you will too:

Don\'t forget to tell her she has a ticket ride, all aboard!

Christy Tuller, Nov 23, 2008

I'm still along for the ride! I was going to sneak in some more nominations but you've allready gotten one of them. Autumnrose is a wonderful writer. I would like to add Ruben Etienne and Rebecca Anne Grant. I hope they get on the bandwagon next!
By the way, have a safe flight this weekend!

#85 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 24, 2008

Well thanks for that Christy, we love to see folks names mentioned several times and they deserve the ticket! Thanks Saturday will see me land in my old country the UK for the first time since 2005, I have a ticket to ride, let's hope the wings stay on, I would rather be on my bandwagon with you guys!
I met a writer Billy no Mates (an English saying) but he doesn't get a ticket as he has no manners, I will be back in awhile with tickets.

Patrick Bernauw, Nov 24, 2008

What a magnificent idea! Here on Triond, I like the poetry of
Joanna Maharis (http://www.triond.com/users/Joanna+Maharis), the stories of Bren Parks (http://www.triond.com/users/Bren+Parks) and C. Jordan has some great stuff too (http://www.triond.com/users/C+Jordan).

Glynis Smy, Nov 24, 2008

I have tickets for

Ben Johnson and Karen Gross today.

Karen is celebrating her 50th article on Triond and has done so in a clever way.

Ben has some great work to read. Both are new to me and I am so glad I found them!

I visited here several days ago, and thought I had left a comment.
Let that be a warning to other writers to check that your comment has "taken" on the page by checking it is there before you leave the page. I obviously made a mitake with the code or my own ID.
I did not expect to receive a mention but to find, more than one mention is a great honour and very rewarding.Thank you very much.
There are many writers I enjoy and admire so I have to mention those writers who have given me help and encuraged me when I first started:
s. hayes, who introduced me to Triond and encouraged me to start writing.
RJ Evans whose style I admire and again who has encouraged me.
Unofre Pili who continues to offer support and advice
Good work Glynis,and give us an article about your trip back to the UK and give youself a link to it here.

#89 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 24, 2008

C Jordan, forever welcome on the Bandwagon! I placed one on here myself this morning, came back and found it wasn't on there!
Thanks for your recommendations.
Have I found S Hayes before? Ok folks all aboard, next stop S Hayes!

#90 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 24, 2008

I hadn't met S Hayes before and I recommend her work to you , thanks C Jordan for getting her a ticket

Bren Parks, Nov 24, 2008

What a great idea for an article....I was told I was mentioned on this page and consider it a great compliment. I like this idea of an open forum. I would like to say that my experiences with the triond site have been rewarding on many levels. I really do enjoy interacting with other writers. It keeps me going when I have writers block and when I feel discouraged. It is refreshing to hear from my readers and makes me feel like I want to keep writing.

Thanks to Patrick Bernauw, I am very impressed with his high quality work and recommend him as well. He is a great writer and has shown great friendship to me as a writer. I am very grateful for his encouragement. Please check out his writing. I am sure you will agree with me.

#92 by

Glynis Smy, Nov 24, 2008

Thanks Bren for collecting your ticket, you deserve it, I have not noticed any evidence of writers block!

I will be busy tomorrow so will not get to check the Bandwagon while most of you are sleeping, therefore I will add a friend of mine I would like to recommend, go and Dan Haugh he has a ticket to ride!

Unofre Pili, Nov 24, 2008

Very nice idea. I would like to recommend the following writers.

Nobert Soloria Bermosa for his ever interesting write-ups and for guiding me all the way through Triond when I was just a newbie here.His public Triond account can be reached here: http://www.triond.com/users/nobert+soloria+bermosa

Mytical Whitewolf for her invaluable assistance. Here she can be reached: https://www.triond.com/users/Mystical+Whitewolf

And C Jordan, for making me laughed out loud the first time I came across one of his articles. His articles are both witty and of profound humor. Here Triond public account can be reached here: https://www.triond.com/users/C+Jordan

Thanks Glynis...more power to you...

Hello Glynis! I'm back and writing again...I'm deeply honored to be on your bandwagon. There are so many gifted writers and wonderful people here at Triond and more are coming aboard everyday. I could name many writers who I respect and admire but there are several names that I haven't seen listed; R.B. Parsley, M.C. Johnson and if I may add one more Mys Lyke Meeh. These folks are not only excellent writers but they are also personal friends of mine and Jan's. To the rest of you I salute you and am proud to stand beside you here at Triond.

#117 by

Glynis Smy, Jan 1, 2009

Happy New Year Bandwaggoners!
S Mercedes (who I have never met but I will be popping in to see the work they do, very soon),has got the last tickets for 2008!!
Colleen Grady is new to me, so I will be dropping by later.
Allison and Lauren both had tickets on the front of the wagon.
OKAY 2009 are you ready?
In 2008 we filled 11 wagons!
The first to get their ticket for 2009 on wagon 1 are:
http://www.triond.com/users/S+A+JOHNSON

Don't forget to tell them they have a ticket to ride and where to find it!

#118 by

Mercedes Selvira, Jan 1, 2009

Still worth checking out, though. And so is Amber E, I think: https://www.triond.com/users/Amber+E
