Bored

Okay, you guys we need to start chatting. One of the ways I keep myself happy at work is reading the boards. But now that I am not on the TTGP boards it feels very quite in here.... 

So lets try and get things started.....

What do we want each day of the week themes to be like do we want to bring stuff over from TTGP boards like Flame Free Fridays... or do we want to start our own traditions or a mix?

Yay I'm so excited to get this started. I really like the organization from the TTGP board. I am not big on everyone just free posting whatever pops in their head. I like fffc, ou Thursday, etc.. When I was on the October 16 board they did a petty problems Saturday just to try to keep the board alive on the weekends. Should we start a list? 

skiingstark

@joyful08 Yeah, okay we have one vote for doing the same on TTGP board and I like Saturday one.

FFFC, UO Thursday, for sure!! I think those are like staples of TB.  On my old BMB we did a daily spam thread where we basically chit chatted all day.  We also added a Meal plan Monday and a few others like ticker change days and check-in (PAIF, PAL, High risk, Multiples.... So on)

joyful08

I like the idea of meal plan Monday! 

skiingstark

Meal plan Monday sound yummy also yeah we need the ticker change, we did that in my last BMB board too.

I'll leave organization to the TB pros, but am very much in favor of any sort of chatting going on around here!  We don't want to tell anybody for a quite a while, and it is so tough not having anyone to talk about all of this with (other than H, who has been great).  I'll confess that I kept checking back all day yesterday to see if anything new had been posted.

For check-ins, I think in addition to what everyone mentioned a fitness check-in would be great.  I was working out quite a bit before my BFP and hope to continue in a modified, pregnancy-safe fashion.  It would be nice to hear what others are doing, too.

FFFC, UO Thursday, Meal Plan Monday, HDBD Wednesday, and Throatpunch Tuesdays were the ones we used on my old BMB.

There was also a daily randoms thread but I've seen some boards do a weekly randoms, just so the board doesn't get clog everyday with a new random thread.

We could also post random GTKY threads to get conversations started.

skiingstark

What are HDBD Wednesday and Throatpunch Tuesdays?

chickyclg

HDBD= Wednesday hump day bump day

Throatpunch days are really just venting sessions 

ETA: HDBD usually gets started after the first tri bloat.

I think it should get a little more active in the next couple of weeks, my Beta isn't until June 8th and that would still have my due early  February.

Since we have OU Thursday we could do Twatwaffle Tuesday (instead of throat punch Thursday) so there is one day with a complaining thread.

MPM sounds good to me because I am absolutely clueless about what all I should be eating aside from lots of protein and foods with folic acid and calcium! LOL

These are awesome,  @skiingstark ! (And everybody else!)

I like everything suggested.

If you're looking for organization, this might be overboard for some people, but September 16 BMB has an awesome system:

ETA: I wrote it when I got my first BFP, but I'm not necessarily partial. It was just because someone asked for it to get done and was the culmination of everyone's ideas. 

joyful08

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese yes I like this

blush64

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese I think a sticky post like that is great, especially as the board gets busier. 

Jamiemitchell85

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese love it!!! It's been kinda quiet. I've been posting stuff. Just looking for ppl to talk to lol... Calm my nerves.

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese I think that's a great sticky! I vote lets do it, and then we can start volunteering for things. 

WorkingOnMyNightCheese

Does someone else want to start it? Once you write a post we just ask the admins to sticky!

I can, but probably not until after work today so if anyone beats me to it, go for it! Is it okay if I basically plagiarize the September post?

jckh912

I think that most of the boards have a fairly similar post so it shouldn't be an issue- you can always throw on a "copied from September 2916 board" to cover yourself!

Sorry I didn't do this last night-I was feeling like total crap.  It begins, I suppose!  I'm on it now.
