    I hate the TMI one. We tell people constantly there is no such thing as TMI in the land of TTCAL.

    I think it started as a joke. Like who has been called most bitter by trolls and drive by's. But I agree. It's not my favorite either.

    How about "hostess with the moistest" who is most likely to welcome a new poster.

    The most touching story one is rubbing me the wrong way, but it could be a product of the funk I am in today. I don't like the idea of a competition RE stories.

    I should add that I am very excited about the ttcal awards in general :)

    I think last year we let people self-nominate for most bitter.  I can't even begin to imagine how hurt I would be if someone nominated me for that category.

    I agree, I don't like the category but some people were really adamant that they were proud that they were bitter.

    I don't like most bitter either. Unless somebody wants it, which is what happened last year.

    I gotta think a lil harder and more concentrated to come up with new ideas. Maybe later when I'm not at work.

    What about "Always late the party" (or something less negative sounding)? lol, I feel I would totally fit that one. Thanks to work and commuting 2 hours I miss most of the posts and no one probably even recognizes that I even post :(

    I love this!! I'll try to think of something but so far I like a lot of the suggestions. I agree that I don't like most bitter or most touching story. Each of your stories inspire me every day and I don't like competing or voting for that one. I like "late to the party" too lol. I'm always late in posting. Even with my check in, I say "don't be the last one to check in this week"! But then I get busy at work and before I know it, everyone else has checked in. @sandsunbliss always responds and gives great suggestions though :)

    These are great categories. I love best troll assassin, hostess with the mostess and most generous lover.  And I agree that most bitter and most touching story probably need to be reconsidered. What about a category for best or most creative check-in leader?

    I agree with this. Troll assassin for sure, I love the ladies that jump to torch them and defend us. I suppose if someone wants to nominate themselves for most bitter that's up to them, but not most touching story. I don't want to turn it into a pity party, like who do we feel the sorriest for.
