Days of the Week Poll

Alright ladies! We need some different topics for TN!

Monday - B&M?

Tuesday - Recipes? (we all share a healthy recipe we each made recently)

Wednesday - Say Anything

Thursday - Health & Fitness

Friday - Fashion Friday?? (we all post what we are wearing or what new items we are "eyeing" to buy)

 

Any other ideas?

Re: Days of the Week Poll

  • We had been talking about doing Confessions for Friday :)

  • I think we should keep Tuesdays as OL to keep conversation flowing!

    I like AW too.  :(

  • B&M Monday

    H&F Tuesday

    SA Wednesday (since this is so similar to OL, IMO)

    AW Thursday

    CF (confession friday -no flaming or judging allowed)

    Thoughts?

  • Brianna,

    We talked about earlier doing H&F Thursdays, but also doing an AW thread one day during the week, sporadically. That way we have both.

     

    And I like B&M for Mondays still, and I kind of agree about OL Tuesday.

    We could do the recipe's thread as a side thread one day of the week?

    I definitely think we need to do Confessions on Fridays, let some steam out at the end of the week and everyone can say some things they may not normally say.

    And get rid of FFF. This is a friendly environment.

    I like OL for Tuesdays too.  If there's a new recipe, we can always put it on health and fitness or even just post it.  

    AW, I'm not married to but I think we could have two on Thursdays, AW and H&F.  I like Confessions but it may get old after a while.  I think that's one reason that we didn't do it too often.

    What about doing AW Tuesday and H&F Thursday, just to switch things up a bit?

    I really like having a weekly AW thread, I always love them because they're generally so positive 

  • Yea, I like the idea of being friendly and just chit chatting and it not HAVING to be wedding related :)

    I agree we could have 2 on Thursdays. Because some people may not be into H&F.

    So, sounds like H&F and AW on Thursdays may be our best bet?

  • I like the H&F to be on thursday, since its later in the week and you have a better idea of how your "diet" has been. On a Tuesday you may be doing great but start to slack towards the end of the week.

    And telling people what I eat and my workouts motivates me not to slack :D

  • We could alternate confessions on Friday with some other idea.  Maybe with Chelsea's fashion idea?

    Yeah, I agree we should keep H&F on Thursdays. But I still say we can do AW on thursdays too, to please everyone.

  • H&F is cool, but I'm not one that's into that... so it would something that people like me would be left out of.  I like keeping the days of the week  really broad so that we can keep communication lines WIDE open.  I wouldn't participate in H&F 99% of the time.
  • imageserlace:

    Hmm...is there anything else that's a little more broad that would keep conversation flowing? Everyone may not be interested in fashion and clothes. You know?

    We should try and pick topics that are broad enough that everyone can join in and contribute to the conversation.

    LOL...we just said the same thing. Get outta my head!

  • I would actually prefer for the recipes to be stickied (when we get a mod) so I have one place to go instead of digging through past posts. Just a thought.

    Maybe one of the days we could have some questions to answer?  I would have no problems coming up with these.

    I kind of feel this way.  

    We could do like Favorite Things Friday, where we have a topic:  Like Favorite Movie, Favorite Ice Cream Flavor, Favorite Mexican Food Restaurant, etc.

    I agree on the sticky.  We do need a mod.

    Do you mean like Q&A Tuesday or something and we ask random questions for others to answer?

    I like both of these ideas. We really need some stickies  - someone volunteer to be the mod dangit! I would do it, but I don't feel like I am here enough in the afternoon/evenings.

    This is me!  I can tell you 99% of the time what I will be wearing on Fridays: pants and a shirt and my Adidas shoes, LOL.  I'm not much into shopping or keeping up with the trends.

    I like this idea!

    Or just, what's your favorite thing this week, maybe it's as simple as your iphone that you couldn't live without or a new perfume that you found this week that you're in love with.

    Yeah have like a Friday Five or something.  It could be in addition to one of the daily threads or just by itself.

  • So something like this?

     

    Monday - B&M (B*tch & Moan)

    Tuesday - AW (Attention Wh*re)

    Wednesday - SA (Say Anything)

    Thursday - one thread H&F (Health & Fitness) and another thread OL (Open Letter)

    Friday - FF (Favorites Friday)

  • I like the Friday favorite idea. 

    I don't mind being the mod, but I'm not sure how you guys would feel about that.  That's why I haven't volunteered.

  • All those sound good to me. 

    I still like Confessions though :(. Because dang it, I need that! hahaha. Maybe I'm the only one.

    Lacey, I have no aversions to you being the mod! Dooooo it!

  • Um I'm confused.... I'm not partial to any one day or the other.  Whatever you guys choose is fine.

    I don't have any recipes & I am fashionably challenged... so I would be reading but not participating.  :)
