Tue/wed/thurs and board disappearing act

[dreemkin]

Hey are we still here?

[dreemkin]

That weird glitch has me nervous. Should our small group move to a social media that is not going to go down? I don't have FB but I would join if needed to keep in touch. Any other thoughts? I don't want to lose you guys; we've been through a lot, and many years together.

Cough is driving me crazy. I'll be fine for a few hours then I'm hacking up a lung for the next few.

dreemkin congratulations on the weight loss!

DH and V are putting together a wooden train that he got for his birthday. He is so excited to put it together. It actually pulled him out of his no nap today whiney fussing. But poor A wants to be involved so bad.

Looks like things are good here? The board came back!

Nothing crazy going on here. I’ve stared booking summer camps... lol

[dreemkin]

kartish get better soon! Coughs are annoying.

[lilyelayne]

The board disappearing made me nervous too! I am fine with FB. The only other thing I can think of would be a group chat, like Discord. But there’s few enough of us I think it could work without being overwhelming. Discord is accessible mobile & on computer, and you don’t have to share phone numbers or emails like I think you would with WhatsApp. Y’all look and see what you think.

Feel better kartish!

[lilyelayne]

Also I made a discord server to check it out, but historically if one person has made another place and shares it before group consensus, it’s confusing or people get lost. Probably not now because we are few but mighty ;-) But happy to share the link if y’all want to test it out.

[kartish]

I have a Discord with a my family and it works well.

My cough us worse so I'm in the clinic waiting room right now. Boo.

[dreemkin]

I'm willing to do whatever the group wants. I just want something stable (which I don't think this site is).

Yeah just an hour ago I couldn’t log in again. Not okay.

aggiebug, mishka29, seamonster - do you have a preference of where to move our discussions. It looks like FB group or Discord.

lilyelayne, kartish is discord formatted similar to this. Or more of a chat? And is a FB group similar to this forum?

Discord is a chat. You can tag people & post images/gifs.

The way the other F15 FB group works is someone makes a post as the daily thread, and then everyone comments on that post. You can’t quote comments, but you can sub-comment under them.

[aggiebug]

At this point I am good with FB. I don't like it with bigger groups/ when I barely know y'all but we talk constantly and it's small enough I think it would be fine. I also have another group I chat with there on the daily so that might be my preference just because of that. I am guessing seamonster might not be ok with that though, she is quite private? How is discord for that?

[aggiebug]

And I almost didn't check here today! Silly TCF, messing with things.


My migraine was next level this morning uggg. Thankfully it calmed down in time for H to go to work because I was not fit to parent first thing this morning. It's still quite a mess but survivable. It's a snow day here again so we made muffin batter and two loaves of banana bread yum!

Discord is like here- you make a username & have a profile pic.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug hope your migraine is gone soon! Glad it’s improving at least

Perfect I wasn't sure if it was more like group me where it connects to your phone number

[mishka29]

I like the idea of Facebook bc I use it all the time. But I’d like to know who is signing up with the group before I open my profile. Seems like we have a small group which is good. I’d love to post pic but I never can seem to do that on message board stuff.

ETA: right now I have the website for this site open in my browser and I keep it open. Bc of that I can’t tag people without typing out their whole name. That’s the reason I never tag and always quote lol

[dreemkin]

I don't mind creating a fb (although I'd have to learn it all over again because it's been a while) but I can see where people might not want to co-mingle with personal/family stuff too. I keep my Snapchat just family and really close friends for that reason. We could try discord if it makes people more comfortable. At this point I am comfortable enough to know this handful of people are all not "Mr. Sallys" or something 😉

mishka29 I only use this on my phone through tapatalk and have learned how to post pics directly from my phone. I'd probably have a hard time doing anything on the actual website lol.

And my update for today is not anything exciting. I am feeling bloated and achy. But on a positive note, I made yummy chicken fajitas for dinner!

[dreemkin]

aggiebug so sorry you have another (continuing??) migraine. Hope it goes away!

kartish did you get answers at the doc?

[kartish]

dreemkin bronchitis, so I'm on antibiotics and steroids and at least a another day off work.

Hope the meds help quickly!

[lilyelayne]

So that’s two votes for fbook. Is anyone unwilling to go there? Or is anyone unwilling to try discord? Just want to get things settled before this place breaks again 😊

I know I haven’t really expressed preference, but I’m fine either way.

seamonster is an intermittent poster unfortunately and the one I think most likely to say no to Facebook. And anyone heard from dmorgendorffer?

[aggiebug]

Thanks dreemkin this week has been exceptionally rough hopefully it's over soon. S is also complaining about a headache yesterday and today and I am so worried she is heading down this same path.

[kartish]

I would really prefer no facebook also.
