Let's talk threads

[oldbaylover1024]

I used to run a few check-ins on the other site, and wondered if you guys would be interested in keeping them going here.

On Mondays, I ran a Meal Plan Monday thread. Fridays was Thankful Friday which had a theme (chosen by yours truly, but I'm up for suggestions) and a ton of gifs. We also had check-ins for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. Each was it's own thread. I think those were posted on Wednesdays. boxerific - is that right? Another member ran a healthy living check-in, too.

Do we want to keep these threads/check-ins? Add any others?

I just want to know how busy my Mondays and Fridays will be LOL

I liked the threads we had. Though it felt like there were less than 5 of us that ever posted in them. But maybe with the new surge of posters that will change?

I vote we keep it as is for now and see how it goes and how many people actually participate. Things can always evolve later.

I say yes. I enjoyed them. Your gif game is on point!!

I like topic threads (even though I also like when they go off topic). I just like having a jumping off point for conversations.

The "age" check ins were usually on Tuesday, sometimes Wednesdays. (Well, and the one I did for school aged kids was like once in a blue moon BUT I promise I'll get better.) I think we should keep them. It's nice to be able to share notes with like-aged kids and bounce ideas off of each other!

Oh, and I think the TT thread on Fridays is great and should start up again. I hadn't done it in a while, but would commit to doing it again. It's always fun to see the gif usage.

Meal plans are helpful too!!

It sounds like a nice selection to me!

I enjoy your Friday thankful posts oldbaylover1024, just due to messy life I haven't been posting much. I still lurk and read though

I like (read:need) the meal planning thread, and I always lurk the TF thread though I don't often post in it because I ride the line hard between thankful/burning all things down.

The age check-ins I have a love/hate relationship with. I do enjoy them, though I don't post as much in them as I would like to but our tiny board feels divided. General threads don't seem to get as much traffic as the age check-ins so I'm not sure how to go forward but I wish we all posted together.

I agree about feeling sort of divided. I think we need more general threads for all of us to interact with each other on. GTKYs, polls, advice, pity parties, etc.

oldbaylover1024 since you were the only other person to participate in the May siggy challenge, or at least the only one that didn't have content deleted, you want to take on June?

[oldbaylover1024]

LED - I can pick the siggy challenge. Unless someone else wants to.
