GTKY

OK, so I know I'm not a super regular poster over here anymore, but in an attempt to get the board hopping again, is anyone interested in a biweekly GTKY?  Basically, for those of you who haven't done this before, you answer questions and post pictures about yourself so that the ladies GTKY better.  We can start with some of the regs so you can get the idea.

Anyone interested?  I guess I'll be in charge unless someone else wants it?  Does anyone have the old list of GTKY questions?

  • I'll play, but I'd have to be picky about available days :(

     

    There were several variations of questions. I'm sure you can google "Thenest.com GTKY" or something and find old posts to get ideas. I do think some new questions would be good though, not just using all the old ones. (other than the typical wedding, throwback, honeymoon, etc)

     

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

  • Here's what I found from prior questions, but I agree with RAB that we should switch it up some more.  Besides the basics.

     

    Note: These questions are merely guidelines. You do not have to post anything you do not want to be posted.

    How did you and your H meet? (PIP picks of you together)

    What was your wedding like? (PIPs)

    What did you do for your honeymoon? (PIP)

    Who are you, really? (short bio include PIPs from your past and present)

    Where are you in your TTC/ 3T journey?

    If you had the power to change one thing in your life what would it be? (It can be anything from government issues, personal traits, career related, whatever!)

    There is a zombie apocalypse. Where can we find you? What are you doing?

    What is the most amazing experience you have ever had in your life?

    What is the worst experience you have ever had?

    If you could spend your life being an animal, which would you choose, and why? What would you do as that animal?

    What reality show would you choose to be on? Would you be well-liked or a villain? If it is a contest show, would you win?

    If you could choose, what would your last meal be?

    What is left to who in your will?

    If you could take a trip to anywhere, real or not, where would you go?

    What is your career and do you love it?

    What has been the hardest change in your life?

    If you had the opportunity to go back in time, where would you go? Why?

    Do you have any pets? Show them off!

    Please talk about/ add pics of anything else you want.

  • I miss this! I loved participating before and would be interested in doing it again.


    Lilypie - (VrMh)
  • I LOVED the GTKY posts, too. I think the last time we did GTKY days for individual members was a couple of months after I came out of lurking (so it's been a couple of years...wow!). The smaller GTKY threads with just a couple of questions are nice, too. Getting some new material to ask would be good, though!

    That was about a year ago.  I had just started posting here when they were done and joined in on it.

    Wow, I have been here a year now. 

    Also I think at the end of your GTKY it should be an AMA

    I like this idea!

    I intro'ed almost exactly a year ago, and I believe it was right in the middle of the last round of scheduled GTKY days. I loved them and would love to see them come back! I was sad that people decided to quit after that round since I had missed my chance to jump in.
