Membership Stats

Connecting Now Membership Levels:

Stainless-Steel Level: Anyone who sends us THREE new readers. We'll recognize your status in a special tab--this one to be specific.  You'll also receive a shout out and e-card on your birthday.


Titanium Level: Anyone who sends us FIVE new readers. You will receive all "Stainless-Steel" privileges, PLUS your coNUNdrums will skip to the front of the line on a special red carpet. No more waiting.

Tungsten Level: Anyone who sends us TEN new readers will become this strongest of metals. You will receive all the aforementioned privileges PLUS, we will take your undisputed side in a coNUNdrum of your choosing. This is regularly a twenty-person package, but for a limited time, we offer it to you for a mere ten.

Small Print: New Readers must indicate who recommended them. Sponsors must provide an accurate date of birth, and provide a reminder the day before. This can be done via email or the comments section. Memberships are based on annual renewal fees and are subject to credit approval.

MEMBERSHIP ALERT: As an added incentive for sending in coNUNdrums, we've decided to extend this offer: every two coNUNdrums equals one new follower, meaning if you send in six letters, you'll reach Stainless Steel membership status.

Rusty Copper Status:--Our newest addtion to the metals is for our "Senior" Brigade.  To qualify for this Status, the applicant must find a penny with his/her birth year on it--and this date can not be later than 1947. In other words, if you were born after 1947, you don't qualify. Then we would like a personal statement detailing all the things you *could* have bought with said penny back in the day.

We have a particular fondness for phrases like: "barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways." etc.

The big perk of this membership is The Earlybird Special. This is a new set of blogs (to be posted at random) that nobody else may comment on before a Rusty Penny Member leaves his/her two cents (bwahahaha) in long, winding, memoir fashion--which she can repeat at will. So be on the lookout for any blog with *EARLYBIRD SPECIAL* or *(EBS)* in the title, cause you'll have first dibs!
