Housekeeping:
, as Snugs is now pretty tied up & will be for unseen future I am going to temporarily try to get the thread hosts/hostess/posters lined up for the next few months.If you are getting this you have either posted a thread in past (and know how) and did a good job. Also sending to people who I think will do a good job even if not doing so in past.
Teaming up is okay but do two threads as a team to spread the talent? Not necessarily consecutive.
The couple week “problem” of my Internet loss & the exact same time Snug’s dad medical emergency which is now long term, was problematic as we all know
A big thank you to Kate (Ilovew) for jumping in and posting a thread during the first week of chaos.
This is going to:
Ilovew; wftr; proud Yank; rock in right; hoodlum91; krunkygirl; pcottraux; bannie; rzeznikj at stout; rca2000; nowhereman; kate of spice island; maximus ridiculousness; theresawithanh; darkangel82; snugs; LaineyDee; army air corps; a knight without armor; big sky freeper; dave lone ranger; protest1; radiohead; Scott7278; rosie cotton; TheresaKett; Victoria delsoul;onyx; ; mamabear.
a few are marrieds…they are our friends.
It does NOT have to be fancy or have graphics. If you know how and WANT to do that fine.. and IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO MORE HTML, I WILL HELP YOU
I learned the HTML I know by being a hostess/poster at the Finest Thread. Prior I just knew how to post pix & a few commands of bold, etc. Billie was a great teacher & shared selflessly. I would be honored to pass on the info to others who have an interest
We want to keep the doors open each weekend (and the thread can continue all week but we just ping on Fri/Sat/sun) and that is your primary job as host.. OPEN THE DOORS BY POSTING A THREAD.
Remember we are a thread of friendship. There is no topic or material that should be off limits in my opinion, however we will follow Jim Rob’s thoughts of decency & the guidelines set up by him for FR threads/posting. I often start out a thread by saying “be nice” … and that is a cover all phrase that says a lot. Being considerate, polite & helpful are things that to me are more important here than “winning a point” or showing your superiority. Everyone here is smart. You wouldn’t be at FR if you weren’t.
Well, For a host/hostess here are your duties. Post a thread. Ping the list. Welcome new people. Chat with all visitors when you are here. If you cant be here, let the rest of us know on the thread. I can ping the list. Being a host doesn’t mean you give up your life for the weekend. It means you post a thread & are “in charge” & participate when you are around.
Here is the Nuts & Bolts Thread link w/more info on being a host. (the list, ping urls, directions on how to post a thread, etc.).are all there.
NUTS & BOLTS THREAD
Following is the calendar for you to SEE OPENINGS
Post your thoughts, sign up intentions etc here so we are all in the loop of your thoughts. Snugs and I cannot & will not try to do the thread each week. We both have our hands full on the personal level & I additionally have not posted the April 1 addition of the Cinema thread yet due to many complications. It is my baby at this point along with the Singles thread. Most of you know I am a crazed movie addict.As you can see I already hogged three dates. Oink!
April 20-22 - Earth Day Weekend.I may have a LATE ping tonight... but you know the routine, you can chat w/o ping, right? Hugs to all! dolly
