I did it because I'm a team player and I honestly got a kick out of sharing what popped into my head at midnight.

I was starting to get unexplained headaches and I've put it down to staying up way past my bedtime. I appreciate your thank you. ♥

I was just too sick with sciatica for the last few months. I'm only just now nearly better. I can do it most evenings now.

Sciatica's a bitch.

If you can do the thread then do it but if you can't don't stress. The people here are very forgiving.

Agreed it's a real pain in the ass pardon the pun.

I loved doing them but everyone else did too, so I mostly just stand to the side ready to take the reigns if everybody else falls asleep. My sleep schedule is so fucking wild I can't ever guarantee I'll be awake at any time at all, I don't even know what time I'm going to bed tonight, just what time I have to be up in the morning, but most nights I am up til after midnight

Maybe we should start making a comment a few hours to midnight and see who wants to do the posting that night. If they fall asleep or get distracted, no worries, anybody else can post if they haven't within 10 mins of midnight or something

That sounds very sensible.

Can we say that if there's no post 15 mins after midnight, it's first in best dressed? Until Botbot comes back on line after his/her/their rest cure. After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out ....

Will do!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Good idea Baku 👍
