Discussions you'd like to see continued on

[8 Bit WWBG]

I see that the major threads like "Grocery Challenge" and "Kids" were among the first to be set up. Off the top of your head, can you think of any other threads you really want to see continue? For me:

- Cawiau's "we've created a monster" (or at least, a follow up)
- The "trading sex for chores" one with Paul's dishwasher story.
- The "told I shouldn't have children bc I'm a working Mom" one.
- For some reason, the Terri II and Terri III thread.

... which actually gives me a sick and twisted idea... for some of these threads that have become part of our shared history, should we try to save or at least summarize some of them?

I remember one buy a woman named "Katrice" who was a total gold digger trying to get her fiance to pay off her debts. Her name became our word for golddigger for a while.

I was still reading YM "backwards" when the news were announced, but I really liked the thread about
- the necessity of Christmas gifts/charity donations at Christmas;
- donations in general, there was one, in which some folks insisted that you shall donate even if you have to loan money for your donations...regular YM folks opposed the idea;
- your worst Christmas gift ever;
- best frugal recipes;
- and of course the loser dating OP's daughter... I would not like to see it continued, but it's definitely worth saving.

I want a new thread with "the real story on cm" . . . I believe the crack sleuthing staff has figured out she's a troll with pink hair, has 3 kids (one as a result of foot surgery), that she needs to be on welfare but makes too much money so she might have to quit work (or start planning baby #4 and 5), abuses her elderly parents by abandoning her children with them . . . and so on.

We need a concise Iowa Swirl condensed version of the real story.

i believe IowaSwirl's work blocks proboards!! what a tragedy

I'd like to see cm and Terri's threads. They're a big part of our shared history and regulars often refer to them on other threads. If they're not saved, how will the newbie's know what we're talking about?

HEY!!! Iowa's job is translation and interpretation. Summations are the department of the O of YM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now then, give me a few, and a summation will appear before your very eyes.

Anything involving WALL STREET TALK and wads of Benjamins gets my vote!!!! SO glad this has been set up - I don't know what I'd do without YM!

Virgil has a bot that copies threads from YM and posts them here.. If you're nice maybe he'll share it.

Archie, like the bearded dragon avatar. < thumbs up >

I think it would be nice to copy over some threads like
Terri, cm, and even the beginning of Black Mamba's just for
entertainment value.

[Apple]

And the wedding dress thread, pretty please!! IowaSwirl did an awesome job translating and the "I am my own Grampa" comment was hysterical. I would have missed that one if the EE folks hadn't lead me to it. Here is the link

And, it was in EE, but the "Ask MM" thread was great too!
