Since last Thursday, I have hardly been working...and it's been a nice break. Typically I am online promoting BWS and the NABBW, creating new teleseminars, contests,corresponding with members, working on the newsletter, updates, membership, etc., but since surgery I've basically only been in the forums and checking mail occasionally.
I spend a good part of my days corresponding with Goergia and my web master, but both of them are away so I've decided to take it easy until Thursday. Tomorrow I go back to the doctors and physical therapist. Then I guess I'll get back in the saddle.
Boy, I would love to sit around and post in these forums all day, every day. I ususally post in the morning and do a forum blitz. Occassionally, I come back and add something I get through email and check to make sure we've had no crazy posts.
Anyway, I have thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in here most of the day. I may have to come up with a new system for posting that allows me to be here more often.
What is your system for posting at BWS, and what other forums do you like?

I try to be here at BWS as much as possible all day (and evening). Up until my brother got sick, I was usually here first thing in the morning and then checking in throughout the day and evening, working chores and errands around whatever was going on here. If it's a slow day here at BWS, then I do more chores. If there's a lot of posting on, the chores wait.
I'm a spam-administrator of one other forum. When I first joined it was a vibrant collection of very diverse and well-read people, most of whom had been together in an online community for close to 10 years. Even though I've been there for almost two years, I'm still the "newbie". The founder of the forum left to go back to university about a year ago and the community has since dwindled down to about four regular posters. It's painfully slow-paced (like maybe 2-3 posts per week!), but nobody wants to shut it down. I think we're more-or-less "holding down the fort" until the founder comes back and resurrects the community.

Dotsie, I would never wish surgery on anyone, especially you, but I have enjoyed having you around more often. You always start interesting topics that involve a question, which I think, makes it easier to respond. I check BWS as soon as my kids are out the door to the school bus. Then I check in dozens of times, if I'm home.

Dotsie, you deserve a break. Too bad it isn't a cruise instead of resting from surgery. This is the only forum(s) I visit. I used to visit forums related to sexual assault and domestc violence. I mostly served as an understanding and supportive poster. However, I reduced my time on those forums to virtually nothing. However, if Oprah has a show that has a message board on a topic I am interested in, then I will visit that board for 2-3 days after the show to get my voice in. For example, tomorrow she is having a show on people who tried to commit suicide, and they lived. I'm interested in that topic, so I'll post. Otherwise, BWS satisfies most of my needs. I check in throughout the day when I have time.

Well, since I am on the diet watch with Vicki, I try to post everyday. Although since I have started my Mandarin class, which I rush to after work thrice a week, I have slacked some but still manage to catch up. Then I browse through other postings and decide which ones to reply to then and there after my diet posts or, come back to it at some time before my day ends.
Hope you're feeling much better and recovery is progressive, Dotsie.
