So, I wanted to ask you guys about random threads. I am a huge fan (obv) because I think we all get to know each other better that way. Do y'all think we should have a daily one that is separate or one long one broken up by week, month, continuous, etc?
I think daily randoms thread are much easier to follow. When you get those continuous threads going, they can be really intimidating to jump into if you haven't been participating.

ETA- maybe I should have made a poll
We do a monthly one on my other board and it does get lengthy but a weekly one sounds good. Whatever more people want is fine with me!
I like daily but if we wanted to do a weekly one I would be OK with that too. We would need to keep an eye on it though for getting way to long & out of control with more people joining then we could switch to a daily if we had to.

I like the idea of daily or weekly!
Also, my Wednesday randoms:
Last night was the first night in a week that DH didn't dump a screaming toddler into bed with me at 11pm. Hallelujah for not having to sleep with a kid across my face.
My knees have given up on me. They crackle when I go upstairs and pop when I go downstairs. If they can't handle me carrying my 25lb DS all over the place, I can't wait to see what happens when I have him and 40lbs of pregnancy weight
Sheetz toasted marshmallow ices lattes are the best thing EVER

I'm getting my tires changed. The front ones were capital B Bald! I do so much driving for work that I have to change them often and tires for a jeep are damn expensive!
TMI Rando: Can I get a wife of the year award? I got up with our screaming toddler at 4 and give DH a bj so he could fall back asleep. (please don't kick me out for being the board slore, I rather like it here).
Yesterday was our anniversary and DH brought me home tikka masala and samosas. I am so very much looking forward to my leftovers for lunch.

You are such a better wife than I am. Happy Anniversary!!
nitecheese go on with your bad self. I think BJs are going to have to wait until the second trimester for this household. The thought of putting anything in my mouth right now is revolting.
I vote daily randoms. Easier to keep up with, especially once we get to know each other better & there is more content.

my vote: daily. Super long threads are frustrating to me, but I'll participate either way.
My Random: There's this girl... i was BFF's with her husband in college - still consider him a great friend. I think it was always weird for her that he was so close with a girl. Nothing EVER happened, we were just tight. She and I were never in the same classes or spent much time together - we were just very different people.
They live in the next town over and we just went to their house this weekend for the halloween parade and we stayed and hung out after. This was the first time we've seen them or really talked to them in about two years. Long and short - by talking to her husband we discovered that she and are are BOTH pregnant, like exact same due date. Since then - she has been sending me texts about how she feels, what her HcG level was and she JUST sent me a picture of her 6-week belly. She doesn't ask about how I'm feeling or what I've got going on... just her her her her.
I know I shouldn't be bothered by it, but it seems like a very self-serving relationship on her end and I. Don't. Wanna. It would be lovely to have an IRL fiend in the same boat as me, so perhaps I should just start reciprocating and trying to be friendly.

I like daily threads, but I could do weekly too if that is what people wanted.
Flair Underwood, it's hard when everything is one sided. I have a friend like that and I feel like I have to fight sometimes to talk about what's going on with me. It is always about her. It can be exhausting. Maybe try to reciprocate, but if you are not feeling it don't force it!
There is a jackhammer outside my window at work... it is super awesome in the not at all way. I'm not sure I can go all day like this.
Flair Underwood, that would seriously annoy me. I guess she's just excited but she seems very selfish.
I realized yesterday that I haven't gotten an oil change in over a year...... oops. Headed to Jiffy Lube at lunch and I'm definitely not admitting this to DH, he will freak out.

This! Also, I'd normally be ALL OVER the tikka masala but just seeing the word makes me want to puke right now. I've also gone off all Mexican food, Italian food, and pretty much anything with a vegetable in it. Last night I had cheese and crackers for dinner. This morning it's toast and yogurt. The foodie in me has died...

So much this. My go to has been cream cheese and crackers, and last night I had a cup of frosted flakes like the adult I am. I miss eating real food.

I love pickles, like love them, but last night I took a bite of a pickle and my body revolted. It made me so sad!

Dairy has been my foe. First, it was the milk in my chai. Then, it was the cream cheese on my bagel. Spicy everything is all I can handle. And sour. Bring on the lemonade.

What a weird rambling rant/vent. Sorry.
Is it possible that she's trying to connect with you and isn't really sure how to go about it? I know I'm totally awkward at making new friends, and when you're nervous, sometimes rambling about yourself is the easiest fallback.
