The Slightly Late August 17th Weekly SH*T List

August 18th, 2023
Welcome to the Weekly SH*T List, your handy-dandy go-to list to keep current on all things challenging. The name is the acronym of the words 'So Happy It's Thursday', (SH*T). Just as everyone understands that TGIF stands for 'Thank Goodness It's Friday', Thursday's acronym is not quite as polite but very effective. This list is usually posted late Wednesday evening (MST) since there is only one more time zone west of me and most of the world is on Thursday by now. It may be later if there is something going on in my life.

For those who are not sure what the challenges listed below are all about, just click on the link and it will bring you right to the original post that has all the rules and information needed to enter. Wendy has also spelled the acronym of any challenges in full for further clarity.

While the Weekly SH*T list only lists the ending date of the current challenges, please go through the discussion board to find challenges to be voted on. Voting can be just as important as participation and is generally the most fun and exciting part of the challenges.

Don’t forget to click the link to check out the details of any challenges you are considering in case I may have messed up the dates or such.

There is also a posting on how to set up a new challenge under Tips and Tricks for those of you who win a challenge for the first time. Now there is no reason not to enter all these great challenges!
