Talkative Thursday- Know Your Dimer: DealSeeker

We are a community, a group of people here for a common cause. but how well do we know each other? To work on that, to get to know each other, one dimer at a time, we plan to take a direct approach by asking each Dimer about themselves, with a set of questions.

Here is how it works:
-We pick a Dimer to answer the set template of 21 questions prepared
-Although we recommend answering and sharing with the community the most about yourself, the chosen Dimer can answer which questions they are comfortable with us posting on the forum
-Every Thursday we will post these answers on an open topic in Dost and Dimes, however negative comments are not encouraged
-Do feel free to ping me if you want to volunteer to answer these questions (since we hope to continue this every week if possible and get to know each other better ) or have any feedback or suggestions regarding the same, and we (team of admins ) will try to assist you with that the best way we can
