i would like to invite splinter to join us - she has been very supportive and i think she'd be a big help.
lmk - if you guys agree i'll ask sarge to add her as a replacement for whis
we also need to take a look at who is active - there are a few in our group who have never posted in here .....

Yay for Splinter! She's already active in her welcome thread. 
Sharp girl! Welcome, Splinter! 
As for other PVT helpers, people are spooked, confused, tired, disheartened... or gone from the thread. I know of at least three regulars who vowed not to return. Just stating the obvious...
Sorry. Ahem, good evening.

Go for it
Splinter jumped right up with hands raised offering to help, she would be a great fit
Discussion with Sea re: bamsbbq
She will discuss the possibility of still being on the list with her. We don't want to have too many people ask/hound her. It's her option. So Sea has volunteered to handle it. Thanks Sea!

Thanks Sea!Seabrook said:Yes, you do. Either ... or - whatever you decide.
AttyPops said:Yeah. lol. I saw it in her profile. The "funny" part was....Seabrook said:I sent a PM to Bams, Atty. Let's give it a week if the committee doesn't mind. It really is a sensitive time right now for everyone. Sometimes bams has a 3-4 day pause between logging on. I told her if she doesn't want to reconsider, there is absolutely no pressure and that we could open just a standard welcome thread only if she prefers.
I don't think the bbq'd pork was offensive to her - that's what her name is all about. She has a bbq sauce recipe that she hopes to market someday, and bbq sauce is for grilling meat.
Thanks Atty.

Not sure who's in charge of incoming questions, but it looks like everyone else is out and about for now.
Q: I noticed a posting friend of mine, bamsbbq, on the Sept agenda of turnings. I see that Whis was going to open her thread. I will take that if it's okay. BUT, I do recall bamsbbq coming on to the pre-vet thread one day and asking that her party celebration be dropped. So let me know what's up with that.
Please and thank you, PV Guru!

He/She wanted a "surprise me" topic. Then got mad that whis was banned, then said "deal me out" (paraphrased). That's all I know. I think that's were we left it... but I hope she reconsiders.
I was actually joking about the theme being BBQ Pork... but it didn't work well. Anyway, maybe you can convince her to come back?
"Hi all. Surprise me with a theme"
"OK... BBQ Pork it is!"
Caused a LOT more questions than giggles, to be sure.
No pressure and no rush. Thanks for trying, that's all we can do. I agree... let's not force/hound anyone.
Maybe I should let the rest of the committee know so they don't send her messages too. Do I have your permission to tell them and/or quote this post?

OK. That's twice.
This "Surprise Me" theme thing is getting out of hand, IMO.
I could see us having some form of "default theme" for those that don't want to pick one. But not "Surprise Me". Maybe we have to get better at providing "the theme examples" or something. Maybe they just have to put in some effort. I thinking of skipping any "surprise me" stuff... if I don't know them, how do I surprise them? What do they like/dislike?
So...what do all of you think? A default theme for for the "I can't pick one" crowd? What would it be?

Yes, I will.
I will definately be here, thank you so MUCH
No Sweetie, I haven't picked a theme, I do like surprises though
I sure appreciate everything, I really do.
Thank you all
I will see you all very soon!!!
Very nice meeting anyone
maybe just try to guide them to a theme...
"surprises are fun, but what else do you like? Tell us about your interests...."
my guess is that it's about being unsure, and you're right, we should probably continue to help them come up with an idea- it's much easier for us if we get to know them a bit.

Fine...
BTW...They might be fun for them, not us
I suppose, along those lines, we could have several default themes that are randomly selected.
if trying to get them to choose doesn't help, we tell them that we select one randomly from the list of suggestions that we've already generated? (rather than spending the time to try to make a new list of default themes).
That list is too vague "favorite ______" without saying what the favorite is. How hard can it be to come up with 5 freaking defaults?
I'll start: Some that I think work for all genders:
1) Hollywood movie classics
2) History of flight (balloons, planes, gliders, rockets, failed attempts, Da Vinci models, birds in flight)
3) Ocean/beach/tropical scenes... maybe just "landscapes"
4) Cats and/or Dogs (not one or the other but either/both)
5) Aquatic life (Coral reef stuff, whales, frog at a pond, giant squid, krill, .....)
6) Interesting Architecture
I know Meggers will be disappointed in this list......
But at least there's no unicorns farting rainbows...
There. I even added one for good measure.
