oh! oh! I have an idea!

[BlackCanary]

Here's a puppies and rainbows suggestion for the board-

How about a compliment a nextie day? Kinda self explanatory, pick one person and everyone posts a bunch of compliments for them.

How could that NOT make your day better?



Conversely, you can tell me to suck it.

I LOVE this idea, and I'm totally behind it. :Y:

I too like this idea.

Love it!

eta: this board is seriously great at bringing someone up when they are down! I asked for help in that department when I was having a shitty time teaching and it was great!

so.....as much love as i have for this board...i don't know if this is the *best* idea. bc in the beginning, it'll be people we know, people we know *how* to compliment. but when it gets down to people we don't know as well, newer people, etc... we won't know what to say other than "oh your sig pic is cute" or something. we run out of things to say, and it wouldn't be very uplifting. just IMO. i won't stop it, if everyone likes the idea though.

But you all know how much I love puppies and rainbows.

I agree with this, too. Even with someone like me who has been around for a while, I don't think that you guys really "know" me. You know that I SAH, that I'm conservative, that I have a 7 year old son, and that I'd like to have another one - and that I'm part of the weight loss challenge. Not much to compliment there. Not saying I'm aching for compliments, but I think it would be this way for many people.

babya, you are the most pleasant SAH, conservative, mother-to-a-seven-year-old-son who is working on losing weight that I have ever (not in person) met.

...and scene! See how quickly my compliment post would die.

[BlackCanary]

Good point jennlin, I didn't think of that.

Also, to everyone who has a sig, it's really cute!

I agree with this completely...

[hallows]

I agree that newer people would probably be harder to compliment, but maybe that would bring them to post more? lol

Also, I'm having such a hard time figuring out how to put my little one in my sig! Help?

i think if we feel like we need a pickmeup, we should just post it..and not care what day/when it is..just ask for it.

haha - this is awesome. maybe we can come up with a clever name or symbol for it and you can feel free to do it whenever you need. kind of like AMA, but the opposite. like "tell me how awesome I am" (although TMHAIM is a bit weird)

I love TMHAIA
