Can we have a general chat thread here - similar to the "main thread" on the other board?
All the categories are AWESOME, but I'm afraid I will miss someone or something important because I don't have time to check every thread.
I was thinking if we had a thread where people just checked in (daily or whatever) that would make it so I didn't miss anyone or anything. Would that be okay?

FYI - I made my username MandyM - so no one gets me and the other Mandy confused I will add a picture and siggy later today - hopefully! I have a busy day. DS has preschool this morning and I have carpool this afternoon, which means I'm only home for a couple of hours in the middle of the day. I have a repairman coming late this afternoon, too. We have leather furniture in our family room. We bought it almost 5 years ago, when we moved into this house. We chose leather because it's supposed to hold up so well. It's been great, except recently we had two spots that began to sort of "crack" and eventually opened up into a tear in the leather. I was absolutely horrified! Anyway, I found a repairman that can supposedly patch the leather... I hope, hope, hope it ends up looking nice. The furniture looks perfect except for these two little spots - one on the center cushion of the sofa and one on the ottoman. The armchair and loveseat still look perfect. It's ridiculous how much something like furniture can stress you out. Although I suppose it might be the furniture IN ADDITION to everything else. LOL! Okay, that's all for now.

I think it is a great idea too!
Mandy M. - Glad to see you over here. We had the same problem happen with our leather furniture. The repair guy that we had was able to make it look as good as new. Good luck with yours!

I can make a weekly chat thread for just random chatting and see how it goes. But if it is category specific what you want to post, i would like for it to go into the category so we can keep it organized here You can cross post it to both places when needed! Should i make this in the non vr chat or vr related chat board do you think?

Also, Mandy (and anyone else), a great tool here on the board is the "new topics" button at the top of the page, right above the group's banner. It'll bring up the last 30 threads that were updated, and those threads will be marked "new" if there have been new posts made to them since you last read it. It definitely helps me to keep up with the group.

That's a good tip Leslie. Also girls you can go to the bottom of the main page, down in the FORUM STATISTICS box, you will see where it say 'View the 100 most recent posts of this forum'
I just changed that to 100, it was at 10 posts. I can make it whatever. You can go there as well and it is one list of all of the recent posts made, that's a quick way to keep up too so you don't have to fish through each thread!
Just wanted to let ya know that too!

My thought was that it would be a place to do "persies" like on the other board and update about what's going on with ourselves. Sometimes that's VR/TTC stuff and sometimes it's not. But I would say I'd put it in the VR related chat category. Pretty much everything in my life is VR related at this point. LOL

Ok, I made a daily chit chat thread for us to keep up that way too! vasectomyreversal.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chitchatWe can keep up with each other there too, but if you have a category specific post you think might help others try to cross post it to the correct category too, and specific questions too
