Thank you Julie! Some excellent suggestions here.


Ladies, don't feel like you can't post anything o/t up here in our "chit chat" folder. But maybe we can start making better use of that folder. I know we don't tend to remember to scroll much past the first two, but let's try!

Or you could move it up so it was the second folder, since posts that would go there are very important to almost all members of the board.

First - I didn't get very involved in the other thread - but I wanted to say . . .

I've mentioned your name to three board members about the possibility of you becoming a CL. I think your situation is common, I think you are very thoughtful, and I think your posts are always very well thought out and full of sound advice. I hope you stay.

I've thought about this. It would mean burying "games" and fun stuff. We used to do a lot more on those, but haven't had many takers lately. That's a possibility.


Thank you for the input!

Just thought I would add this. I also think First Amemdment would make a great CL. As far as having a "single" mom be CL, (in addition to Becky -- who I think is doing a great job), I also think West and Fivesense would be excellent as well. All three are kind and very supportive in their posts. Just my two cents.

Becky, I don't know how much control you have, but I think you need to redo the sections to help sort us out.

Maybe, from top to bottom:
- Coffeehouse - IMPORTANT MATTERS - NEED ADVICE NOW
- Off Topic - ANNOUNCEMENTS, DISCUSSIONS
- Bragging - PHOTOS and MORE

I think all we need is three folders - four is too many.

I would also like to say that while one might be tempted to "ignore" someone, I have never found anyone here that I would want to "ignore" - I might not agree with all posts but I always respect them and learn from them. And while there might be someone you disagree with on one topic, you might whole heartedly agree and connect with them on another topic.

Every day brings something new.

Also, I am flattered by Donna's suggestion that I should be CL - but I could not commit to having to do the chat every week - I usually fall asleep so late!! Otherwise I would welcome such an opportunity if others feel the same. Maybe there is a mom like Candi who has been here longer that might want it? She would be a good choice as well as fivesense or Donna herself!!

Becky, I don't know how much control you have, ... HA! Very little! But I've a little pull in making requests to the powers that be.


If everyone wants to do away with the games/polls folder, we can. It used to get a lot more use, but we can ditch if now.


I think I'll start a poll.
