Daily thread?

[shemarie82]

Do we want to a daily check in thread? I know we do, what's good...but we know it isn't all good! I really hate the thought of this group dying off. Just a thought... I'll go back to my corner and do some work.

[theatrepal]

I'm game. Could we have some sort of fun get to know you type question too?

[shemarie82]

Over in LBGT Families, we do Whine & Wine (something good & something bad) Wednesday which I like...because I like wine...

[drl]

I'm game. And I wouldn't mind a hot topic Tuesday again either

Ooh, I like wine, too.

[pinkie]

I'm game. Also love wine

[roxy]

I'm in!

[shemarie82]

Ideas for other days of the week?

[carolinah]

Love me a good UO Day. I love this idea!

[spooko]

I don't think this board is at risk of dying...it's just one of those boards that is so specific that there's less action. It almost seems to go in spurts.

That said, I'll happily participate in more frequent threads and I'm game for whatever kind of topic.

[theatrepal]

Another though, would anyone be in for a book club? We could read adoption/fostering books or not. Or we could rotate them in or not. Any interest? 

[soadchik]

I'm game

[spooko]

I don't have the time to read these days, it seems.

[pinkie]

I am into the daily check ins but not prob a book club. I know once I go back to work I won't read.

Some random thoughts. 
- What I Ate Wednesday
- Random question Monday (favorite movie, book, joke, people's hobbies etc.) 
- If I had the time I would ____ day
- Say something nice about your significant other / best friend day

Just some ideas.

I loved hot topic Tuesday.

I wouldn't be able to participate in a book club, but I'm always happy to discuss books I've already read.

I don't think an unpopular opinion thread would work week on this board. As we struggle to be a supportive place for all members of the triad (adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents), it's sometimes difficult to express our feelings without accidentally hurting other members. I think adding an UO thread, whose sole purpose is to create drama, is setting up a bad situation given these dynamics.

I agree with all of this

I'd be up for a daily thread. I think a book club might work better in a broader board.

[jenn]

I'm up for a daily thread and I love the suggestions thus far. I don't have any more to add.

I'm also up for a book club! I'm attempting (again) to read 52 books this year so we'll see how that goes!

[nextchapter24]

I love all the ideas! I'd love to be more active on the board and get to know everyone. Count me in!

[packerfan4life]

I'd love to do a book club, but can almost guarantee I won't have time to read the book. I do live to add books to my future reading list though. I like GTKY threads.

How did the hot topic Tuesday work?

[wishuponastar]

These are fun ideas!
I love the random questions, Wine and Whine, Hot Topic

I can't remember the cute name for it, but one of the boards I was in years ago when I was TTC or 3T we had to answer with a picture or gif- that was fun.

[redandblue]

LOVE this idea shemarie82 ! I would love to get to know everyone here a little better! I like the idea of GTKY weekly questions. I was also wondering about a check in type thread. I find it difficult to remember where everyone is in their journey, and who might be good to go to for specific questions or support. I do find this board pretty broad with all members of the triad in different stages of their process. Just my opinion. I am definitely game to participate and help where I can.
