I have some crazy collections for a middle-aged woman. I’ve managed to stockpile about 200 Starbuck gift cards, a small suitcase of postcards, and my Pez Candy Dispenser collection is currently hovering somewhere around 500, give or take. I have another collection. Domain names. At present I own 11 of them, and yes, in case you’re wondering they cost slightly more apiece than gift cards, postcards, or toy candy dispensers.
4 point to where you are right now and that I plan to hold on to indefinitely (christianlesbians.com, christianlesbians.org, sisterfriends-together.org, sisterfriends-together.com).- 2 point to Grace Unfolding Ministries (grace-unfolding.org, grace-unfolding.com) that I hope to one day develop into an active website but for the time-being contains a simple unchanging message.
- 4 point nowhere and were bought when I was trying to work out a name for this site a couple years ago and that I’ll probably put back out on the market when they expire in 2012 (for-such-a-time-as-this.org, forsuchatimeasthisministries.org, micahministry.org, micahsmandate.org).
- And then there’s my personal and infrequently updated blog (anitasblog.com).
That leads to my latest acquisition. I just added 1ofthe18000.com to my collection. D and I were one of the 18,000 couples legally married in California and so my thoughts are to create a blog snapshot of our regular lives and ordinary marriage with the hope that our story might impact someone who voted yes on prop 8 enough that come the next election they would consider voting in favor of marriage equality. It’s all about changing one heart at a time. Anyway, it will probably be a couple months before the 1ofthe18000.com goes live and you’ll be among the first to know so you can spread the word to any California voters you know personally.
Now that I think about it, there’s another domain name that might fit quite well in my collection…

I am so glad I am not the only one with various collections-My dad used to tell me if I got three of anything I would call it a collection and strive to get more-lol!!! Things like rocks from vacations-trash from my trip to europe with my dad, picture frames and photo albums, pictures(of anything and everything, I always take a minimum of 1000 per trip- even if it is just a weekend trip) ect ect ect…..But we do share a cool collection-POSTCARDS!!!!!!! I don’t just have a small suitcase of them but probably 5000-7000 from all over the world and some as old as 1887-started with my dad and just never stopped- I LOVE them!!!!
Any way I can’t wait to see what becomes of your new website and I hope and pray it touches some one out there. Good Luck and God Bless-but I bet it will be fantastic-so far you have done a great job at the sites you have done.

I also have 4 domains, with only one in current use and one is my full name in case I want to do something professional. The other two are hobbies that I haven’t started and don’t think I will have time unless I win the lottery.
