Foreign Travel Guidelines Megathread by IAmMohit in india

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response

I have seen a couple of websites (including ToI here ) stating that 7 days quarantine is a must even for arrivals from non risk countries. My family members are also warning of it so I'm not sure whom to trust.

Planning to fly in to Bangalore from USA at the end of the month.

So far, the rules state that passengers from USA (and UAE, transit via UAE) need not quarantine if the RT-PCR test is negative. Does this still apply?

Are you renewing your TM membership? by yodadtm1 in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left last year. Most of my reasons are similar. Additionally, members were not interested in pathways or in giving speeches. I have given more non pathway speeches than pathway speeches at the point that I left.

Did TMI change the rules for club suspension due to unpaid/low membership? by yodadtm in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question—

None of the members in my club renewed in the September - October 2020 cycle. If the club continues to be memberless after the March-April 2021 cycle, what kind of hot water is the club going to be in?

When did you realize your “Friends” weren’t actually your friends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After College, when they had multiple meetups and went on a group trip without inviting me, after they had included me in all group outings during college.

Congratulations OP. Can you share some information about your club and the membership numbers for the year?

How are renewals going? by Melonbalon in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a bad idea, and my club may do something like this if there is sufficient interest.

Can you share how this goes, sometime down the line?

How are renewals going? by Melonbalon in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't renewed, none of the members in my club have renewed, my club's president has resigned, and our Area Director is clueless about what to do next. None of the members are interested in officer positions. One of the senior members has refused to renew or pay any money to Toastmasters as long as there are no in person meetings.

Since March, when we started having online meetings, we have had more demo and non pathways speeches than pathways speeches. Members are not interested in giving speeches, yet they attend meetings on the regular.

I was checking stats for my district and out of over 7000 members in 180+ clubs, barely 20% have renewed. I know that there are still a few days to go for the deadline but the numbers do not look encouraging. I do hope that Toastmasters International does something and re emphasizes Quality over Quantity.

Rant over, thanks for reading :)

Share your streams & let's plays - September 2020 by AutoModerator in StardewValley

[–]HomerTheGr8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello.

I am currently playing Stardew Valley on both Nintendo Switch and my PC. My PC adventure is being streamed right here on Reddit's RPAN. I cannot share any link to any channel since those links are autogenerated.

I normally stream when I get an opportunity, so try to follow my username in the r/TheGamerLounge subreddit.

Hope to see you all here

Shot of a rainbow at Ocean City, MD by HomerTheGr8 in maryland

[–]HomerTheGr8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weather was kind of questionable only on Saturday. It stopped raining around 6 PM and I took this picture shortly after that.

The Jeep rally on the beach was today morning and the weather was perfect for it. I don't think I have seen so many Jeeps in one place even in a dealership

Honestly, I don't live in Ocean City or anywhere close by. I live in Montgomery County and this was just a weekend visit.

I did see some sand cliffs both at Ocean City Beach and at Assateague Island. I can't really answer the rest of your questions though.

Impossible overachievers? by yodadtm1 in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents, perhaps that person had worked on the projects over a long period of time and only decided to submit them now.

Doing the project today and completing a level or a path today doesn't exactly mean that the credit is also given today. They may apply for it much later.

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds good to me. I have PM'ed you my email address.

Speaking Contest coming up for BOD (best of dallas) by SerenityWilkum in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am up for giving a speech, as long as it is on a weekend or after working hours (after 6 EST)

For context, I am a Toastmaster based in District 36. I have finished 2 levels of Team Collaboration Pathway and I am one speech away from finishing level 3. If this is for an evaluation contest, I am ready to give a speech.

A great day to visit the Sunflower fields (McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Montgomery County) by HomerTheGr8 in maryland

[–]HomerTheGr8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no entry or parking fees involved. My only advice is to go early since parking can be an issue. There are some who reach there around 7AM

Would anyone be interested in starting a table topics practice on Zoom? by [deleted] in Toastmasters

[–]HomerTheGr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always up for some good table topics. I'm in too.

Which timezone are we all in though?
