yez yez bunnyb i realize the purpose of having thread topics and i guess what i meant is that sometimes certain threads inspire different thoughts that i'd like to share but dont want to derail (stuff that is really not necessary to the ongoing conversation, just like an afterthought) - so i was hoping the take it outside thread would cover a wider spectrum than just disagreements.. but if not, is cool.

"Do you mean that you would like a thread where you can make non sequitur, random, comments and observations?" i could dig it but i dont know how far that would go, considering i think (in hindsight) the pointlessness of it may fall flat here. as though, the contrived nature of a random thought thread could defeat the randomness. eh..?

culturehandy: thanks for the suggestion..

[culturehandy]

There is the bleh bleh bleh thread in Smells like Teen Spirit. It's all about whatever you feel like saying.

[bunnyb]

knorl, the Take It Outside thread is not for randomness but a thread to take arguments to when another thread is being derailed by them and where you can go to solely work out issues with another poster, rather than detract from the actual discussion taking place. I'm not sure if I fully see your point: threads have confines and guidelines because they are about a specific topic i.e. you wouldn't go into the movie thread and discuss bread (convoluted art and Canada maybe ) Do you mean that you would like a thread where you can make non sequitur, random, comments and observations? That could work; it could be a random thought of the day thread.

thanks obe. i was just having a day. i think i was moreso looking for the freedom to say whatever, whenever without the confines or guidelines of a thread topic. there actually is a thread in the ladies who lounge called "take it outside", which is specifically for derailments and disagreements. maybe i'll pop in there when i'm feeling particularly random.

[obelix2]

I haven't noticed any derailments; I see them as clarifications of minor points. I'm nitpicky, so I love those discussions. Unfortunatel, I think I'd never use that thread because, um, I'd be afraid to derail whatever derailment was going on already.

Does anybody know where the insomnia thread is? Something like "So tired, can't sleep...Insomnia". I know, it's only 10 PM, but I feel it coming on, and I wanted to rant there. I'm probably just blind. I swear I saw it a few weeks ago.


ETA: um, yeah. There it is. *Doing my Roseanne Rosannadanna impersonation* "Never mind"

[knorl05]

so i find that i feel i derail a lot of threads.. or that i kill some sort of flow that was taking place. could just be my hypersensitivity or paranoia..............but it got me thinking of the perfect thread to throw random thoughts out. one that is completely non-descript and has no purpose or topic whatsoever. something like random randomness? not very clever i realize. is there anything like that or would my fellow busties be opposed to it?

[auralpoison]

I bumped the "BoC" thread in F&F for you, Sexysandee. That's where our stories, issues, etc with being a PoC get posted. And I suppose the "Looks like we have a reader", thread might be a good place to talk about starting a book club. A lot of Busties are already in book clubs IRL & may be too busy for another, so it may not be worth starting a whole thread for.

[sexysandee]

I would love to see a Latina thread and a book club thread... we could pick a book a month

[kittenb]

There used to be a not-for-profit thread. Had a really witty title that I can't remember. I would be up to seeing it resurrected and I think that most health care issues would fall under that category.

[erinjane]

Could that thread include also working with people in the non-profit field? I might be getting a job as a child counselling coordinator (not a counsellor, just coordinator) but I'm not sure if that would fall in the same vein.

[hellotampon]

I'm interested in seeing if there's any anyone who would be into a thread in Working Girls for people who work in healthcare/social work/human services/etc. I found a couple of threads from several years ago, so I'm not sure if there are enough busties in the field to keep something going, but I would love to have a place to vent. I'm a psych nurse, by the way. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

I wish I'd seen this earlier. I like the idea.

[sybarite]

Cheers tes. Bunnyb found the earlier thread so no worries.

[tesao]

(Query from sybarite (posted in problems with the lounge - wrong thread) reposting here as bustie duty! - tes)

I would like to resurrect the 'don't hate me because I'm beautiful' thread, as I have a beauty related query. There's a newish product thread but I think the old thread got enough use to justify its resurrection.

[edie52]

Redbabs, I think the travel thread in "As the World Turns" would be good for that. Right now we're talking mostly about traveling in Europe and train travel, but there's not a ton of traffic there, so a new topic could be easily introduced. And then there are also threads in "Friends and Family" about specific areas/cities.

[redbabs]

Is there a road tripping? Any sense if there would be any interest for one?

I am taking my second of three cross county trips in a year and I'd like to check in with Busties in the area of who have traveled through the area about indy coffee shops and stores, places to try, places to avoid.

[auralpoison]

I was wondering the same thing, Pherber.

[pherber]

But we could also just use the "Family problems" thread, for mother rants, no?

I've seen you posted in there already, why a new thread?

Just curious.

[LoveMyPugs]

I'm thinking this would be like a strictly "My Mom Sucks" thread. Maybe we could make a Dad one later but right now it's all about the moms.

So...that is two votes. Anyone else?

[pherber]

Oops, double post!
