I have a nervous condition and I have tried cutting back on my meds in the last week.
Trouble is, when I take them, it's hard to work, because they make me lethargic.
Without enough meds, ~I~ get~ like~ this!~
My buttons don't need to be pushed, they go into rapid fire mode!
It certainly helps to have you and some others understand my thinking on this though!

Well, I better pop a xanax and get back to work!
Thanks again!

And i was gonna say take a chill pill........lol

I am glad to see this get resolved because if it would have gone on for a couple of more days he would of had enough post to have his title changed to instructor.

Thanks Gary, That explains it.
That's called changing horses in midstream I think?
So, maybe next year, a new higher cost membership will be invented at RCIA that will make the current titles disappear and everyone will be guests except the weathiest of us?
I don't see how this "legitimizes" RCIA by not honoring it's original certifications with the word "Certified" under their name. I think it does the opposite. It takes it's legitimacy down from an educational program, to a "Buy a certification Program"
Oh well, sooner or later, everything gets to be about the money.
But usually only big companies forget how to treat those who were with them from the beginning. If that's the way it is, that's the way it is. I will not pay x amount of dollars to make believe I am a superior roof cleaner and get a fake title. I got certified here and it was stated that certifications were on a voluntary donation basis. When the economy picked up, I was planning to make a decent donation. I would not do so now. I don't believe a title should be sold here. That shows the public that it's not for real, to me.
This is all I will say on the matter.

Chuck;
Below is text copied from a post prior to 11-1-10. Hope this explains your question.

Starting on 11/01/2010, there will be several new changes in titles on RCIA. If a person has paid the membership dues, they will carry the title of "MEMBER" and if currently certified they will carry the title of "CERTIFIED MEMBER'. Any person currently registered on RCIA, who has not paid the membership dues will carry the title of "GUEST" until such time as the membership fees are paid. A certified guest will not have the certification attached to their title until the fees are paid and their title changed. You will be carried on the official books as being certified, but RCIA will only advertise this title for paid members.
Additional titles may be added as the new certification guidlines and requirements are completed and put into effect by RCIA officials.

The entire post is under certification on the home page.
Gary

+1 chuck and again , good to see you! been awhile since Ive seen you around

To legitimize the organization further it was decided that the previous method of certification was not up to standards that it should have been. No one needs to be blamed for this, it's just that as organizations change, so do their protocols, structure, membership, etc... There is currently a committee working on many aspects of this organization which includes certifications among other things. I would like to see all off the "certified titles" abolished from the "post info" column until such time as all are actually certified by the new standardized testing. Exceptions would include Chris Tucker And anyone that he reccommends to stay certified.
These changes are significant and worthy of our patience IMO.

of coarse you feel this way Ryan , you are a newbie,or should I say , you have been here since 08 but just never contributed to the board..
What you really should be saying is:
how do I get certified?
and,
the previous certification should have not been abolished until the the by laws were in place,then the certification, then the standards.. so here we are waiting to see what the bod is going to do, mayby a business plan should have come first :)
then maybe we would know WHY it is taking so long imho
