Who can keep their head straight when I'm around throwing kisses anyway?

Happy 9000th post.

Hi Yanti! Whoa! Look at that new avatar of yours!!!!!! I bet you're getting LOTS of inspires from BTers this month!

Maybe we should monitor the male/female ratio?



Um, why? We already know what the outcome will be. LOL

Speaking of sleep...better go get stuff ready for another day of joyousness in the cesspool tomorrow...You can pln the challenges now and I'll help however I can because it's a lot of fun

INTERVIEW FRIDAY MORNING (PLEASE< PETY PLEASE LET ME OUTTA THAT PLACE)

You are an awesome cheerleaders!!! the cats are very luck to have you... and its saved me so much time! I usually hang out with Newbie team and having you there directing traffic has been awesome...

Its things like that which is making running challenges so much easier than it used to be

 

Sweet Dreams!

Artemis - 2008-03-05 1:04 PM I would be up for co-organizing a challenge. Don't think I could do it on my own, but I'd like to learn and help other people

hehe I love how its now a great community here... the whole I want to ride this month thing that drove my first challenge has changed so much!

 

So 'Cats Birthday Month Cake Challenge'? I helped Dee set up her first challegne etc so Im really happy to work with someone else on one!

Sounds do-able for me.

kaqphin - 2008-03-04 8:37 PM Actually Dee all your help with the challenge with the spreadsheets nad answering google advice/team html lists... has been exactly what Ive needed to keep it low pressure...

 

We should do it again sometime... the workload this time around has (comparitively) been much more managable that previous challenges so its been something I might not mind taking on more regualry...

Then again maybe 4 times a year is enough... Im sure there are otehrs that want to run challenges right?

That would work! It is good to do it with someone else, I think. The challenge where Beth was the Official Greeter was easier for me, too. I didn't feel like I need to do that along with everything else. I don't mind doing the spreadsheets -- As long as I can still play tag on the team threads. LOL That's been fun.

Im sure to those that dont know us its seemed really disorganised... but hey! Like iVe said - you get what you pay for... and well Im not being paid... I even pay BT for my membership!

Those that think it's disorganized aren't factoring in all the volunteer time in planning and setting up the whole challenge IN ADDITION to a full time job and training. There is also a small group who will whine no matter what is done to meet their requests. The challenge forum is open to everyone but some folks are slower at making friends in the process.

I know I was a lot more timid in TdF than I am now--how many challenges later?

Maybe once Marmadaddy has a better handle on things we can pull him in with helping program some stuff for the challenges so it's less work to maintain things once set up--just change the specifics of each challenge and the teams based o who is participating that month

Actually, I'm for leaving it more UNstructured. Part of the fun of the challenges is that you never know what the next one will be like. I'd think that if it's the same every month, it would start to get a little boring. But, as it is now, there's a lot you can do with it. Cat's Challenges are different from mine - Because Cat plans it out differently than I do. And if someone else runs it, like Donto, it's also different. But, to me, that's part of what makes it interesting. (Albeit, it also means it's more work. LOL)
I was just referring to the spread sheets and somehow making that part easier on the site so we don't have a bunch of folks mucking stuff up on the google sheets then expecting it to be magically fixed by another person...I do like the variety and differences in the challenges as well as how they get set up...

AND YOU HELPED A LOT, CAT!

She really did. She gave me ideas, critiqued the draft announcement that I wrote, gave me pointers and told me what to watch for, etc.

If I didn't say it before --> THANK YOU, CAT!

Yes - Unless I disagree with your comments. Then I'll edit it discuss it with you. LOL On a more serious note --> Yes. Of course, I'd sticky it.

Ok then here is a suggestion - if anyone has any queries that they regularly get asked about challenges then ket me know and I will add it to my original post... then we can sticky it and add other FAQ's as they come up....

Im happy to monitor the thread and it should make everyones lives easier in the future

Mine is more like - "What? You want a team? Fine. Get in the back of the line and wait your turn." LOL

Or - sorry I need to sleep - catch you when Im well rested



Sleep? What's that? LOL

(To everyone else: Shhh, once she leaves, we can volunteer her for all sorts of challenge jobs.... She'll never know. Well, until she comes back, and by then it'll be TOO LATE! HAHAHA!)

Oh wait. Did I forget to use the secret font??? Hm.

Anyway the offer is there... if anyone wants to give it a go - ever and want some help.. .im happy to do whatever is needed!

(although Im totally excited about a cake challenge, maybe its just because of the sugary peeps this month!)

Hm, am I the chief cleaner of the muck? LOL

It's actually OK. They got messed up in January, but by February they weren't half as mucked up. (Or maybe I just learned how to fix them faster. LOL)

Also, it depends upon who's writing the spreadsheet. I've been trying to make them as simple as possible.... Donto, on the other hand, well, read his quote in my sig line.

I don't have the PMs anymore either. My mailbox kept filling up, with challenge-related PMs. I ended up deleting everything --- much of it by mistake!

I like the idea of a Cake Challenge.

Hahaha, I think I should do a TWINKIE challenge one of these days. LOL

Hey, poor, sick Tinkerbeth... yes, I stopped in for a quick hello before heading to the gym for a run on the dreadmill (still chilly weather around here).

Speaking of cycles... if any of you ladies are ready to "call it quits"... and wrap up the reproduction option... consider Novasure's Endometrial Ablation... I had it done 13 months ago... FABULOUS... I finally re-claimed my life.

sparco - 2008-03-04 8:24 PM So...I could make a really neat Excel graph that plots all your cycles so that we can be more understanding if it's that 'time of the month' for one of the Nibbs...

 

Be careful. You'll have to decide who gets pink and who gets purple.... And that may result in additional whining and ranting.

Heh... nope, no problem for me, pink or no pink.  I *heart* Novasure...
