May 6th Weekly SH*T List

May 6th, 2021
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 early Thursday morning (EST), but will occasionally get posted 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. I have 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 hit 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 so we have you covered. Now there is no reason not to enter all these great challenges!

Thank you, Annie @annied for continuing on with the Word of the Month! This challenge is a great place for those who occasionally lose their mojo and need ideas or inspiration. It is also a great challenge for those who want to go that extra nine yards to do a full month of words.

@monikozi Thank you! You are a sweetheart for keeping this list up. I rely on it. =)
May 6th, 2021
@marlboromaam My pleasure! I'm glad it helps.

Could I please add, the jury is still out for the first Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Food) challenge. Closing date for votes is Sunday with result to be announced on Monday. Thanks.

John.

@lumpiniman John, the weekly sh*t list does not include voting threads, but only challenges. I might suggest you create one more reminder thread for voting and include the link to the voting.
I have seen people do this as reminders.
May 8th, 2021
By the way: there are quite a lot of challenges in the voting phase! Don't forget to vote!
May 11th, 2021
is there a song challenge running?
May 13th, 2021
@monikozi I'm running Etsooi-130 and there are only 3 entries. Should I extend it or put the 3 for voting.
May 13th, 2021
@stephan_haay oooh... well... either way works. You may extend it by a week, if you feel like it. But it is no harm in posting the three entries for voting. Right?
The rules are not so strict. They are more like guidelines.
But if i were in your shoes, i would stick to the schedule and start the voting.
May 13th, 2021
@stephan_haay I saw that a fourth entry was added. I would suggest you wait and see what happens today. Sometimes our folks here enter on the last minute. I marked the challenge that it ends today. Give it time until tonight and tomorrow morning either post the voting thread or an announcement thread that you extend the time frame. But, please, do not stress too much about it. Enjoy it!
May 13th, 2021
@monikozi thank you
May 19th, 2021
hey, Monika
I just noticed that the 52 Week Challenge is behind. What I did to keep up was post what week it was and the theme as in 'This week is Week X : abcdefg'
and then copy / past the link.
The second link that refers to the initial post remains the same.
May 20th, 2021
@farmreporter Thank you, Wendy for pointing it out. I noticed that i forgot to update the description as well :) but only when i posted the next week :)
