HI Newbies, just a note

as I'm reading through the threads and replies,, I keep seeing mention of a daily morning discussion,,, but have to say that we don't really do that here... you can start one if you like that everyone can join in on ...  Just click on start a discussion and type in your discussion title and the the msg...  that would be fun.  Don't be shy here,,, if you want to talk about something or just want to say peep, or "I feel like crap today.."  just start a thread.  You'll get more replies than you can dream of...  LOL


As for the Sand Box,  


Monday:   Monday Morning Cafe, or Coffee Corner or Monday Sandbox Buzz, what ever I'm in the mood to write.. LOL


Tuesday: free discussions anything goes. Can't really say what I'll post . could be a poll or a simple discussion, nothing, or blog quiz,, whatever..  


Wednesday:  Whines and Woohoos.. (I see someone popped up the one from last week so we have 2 up there ) doesn't matter,,, we're easy here.


Thursday:  free discussions anything goes again..


Friday:  Friday 5555's which I used to do but  now we use a volunteer sign up at the beginning of the month,, so we get everyone on the board involved...    Friday's we also have the Weekend Plans thread.


Saturday:  it differs,,, sometimes a What'cha reading or something easy like that.


Sunday: I try to catch up replying to the 1000+ posts we get a week here... so I start no discussions usually,, someone else usually does...and you can too,, let "er rip!   LOL


That is the general plan,,, to that we also have polls, quizzes , games, scrabble and then as I said what ever everyone else starts up, and if you are bored or need to vent : start a thread and do so...  ;O) 


As I wasn't on the other board you all left I 'm not sure what you are used to, but please feel free to start any thread you want... as I said,,, the more the merrier... and as I've noted before if you reply only to "notifications" you'll miss a lot on the board...  if you do start a thread, please take the time to check back and reply to those members that responded to you. Obviously they'd be answering whatever you posted, and that's a great way to work up a friendship with everyone here.  I lurk  on threads that I don't initiate, I do reply on a hit and miss basis.


Main thing have fun!

Also if there is a post where no one has answered/replied for a long time,
Usually it means it's spam
Spam is advertising which is a no- no

thanks Hugs, I think one of the problems is that our beloved Newbies don't know some of these people are spammers and not members of the Sand Box.
