Hello girls (and guys if they are lurking/around of course!),
Well, I must say we have had a great week on our single moms and dating board - we have had new members and some great discussions. I have enjoyed watching so many opinions and view points for all of our threads - from advice to polls. I learn at least one thing new from you guys each day.
I also want to thank everyone who has been posting such fun polls and questions - they have been great!! Keep them coming - and don't be afraid to post if you have been lurking!!
I have asked the powers that be to put a link to our board on the ivillage love and sex message board page and they did - http://love.ivillage.com/messageboards (look under singles and dating). I have also told them that I would be willing to write a basic article on Single Moms and Dating FAQs in exchange for another link to our board. Will see what they say and of course this will be a community effort!!
Tell me, what do you want from this board? Do you want more fun polls and questions? Just a place as it is to have lively talk and good advice? Anything from me?
If you visit other boards, please try to give a link to this board whenever you can to promote growth and new traffic.
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend. I can't believe that tomorrow will be my son's last day of third grade. I think we are ready to stop the homework and getting-ready-for-school shuffle!! I am ready for a new torture - something like - how did this floor get so dirty so fast? What do you mean you are bored - you just got up! And QUIET I am on the phone! Oh the joys of the home office!!
Cheers!

I enjoy the roll calls and polls. It makes us seem a little more connected when we learn various facts and trivia about eachother.
Also, I know from my previous days as a cl, that if you have a particular thread that has a lot of posts (I think it’s 50 or more) you can submit it to be linked to the main message board, under “What women are talking about…” or something like that. At least that used to be true many moons ago.
You’re doing a great job Judy. You have a very positive spirit. =)
Thanks, Orange Clouds.
I have noticed, too, that our "single moms and dating" home page is now defunct - if you click on that link from our home page you get an error message.
I think we should make that our project over the next month to decide what to put as FAQs (frequently asked questions) for single moms.
A few of them include:
-when should he meet my kids
-having him sleep over
-how to find time to date
-how to meet someone
I will post those as question of the week and will gather and summarize viewpoints into tips.
I don't want to make that one too big - but just to have a few FAQs.

Hi Judy,
Congrats on week 1! I think you are doing great. You are cut out to be a CL. You have the social skills to keep everything going. If it were me, I'd disappear for days at a time and the board would just dry up!
I like the polls and questions too. I agree with Orange Clouds that it is nice to get to know one another better. I really enjoyed your question the other day about what you wish for. That was a such an open ended abstract question that gave me a lot to think about. I like questions that make me think kind of deep. :)
As far as what else I might want from the board, sometimes I just need a shoulder to cry on and and it has been suitable for me in that way so far.
Keep up the good work!
Amy
Judy,
I'm a regular on the Dating as a Single Parent (DASP) message board, which is peculiarly located on the Pregnancy and Parenting channel.
