December 30th Weekly SH*T List

December 30th, 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.

Moni, you've been brilliant at maintaining this thread, a huge THANK YOU for your unfailing Thursday postings.
December 30th, 2021
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Jackie, you are most welcome. And I also thank you for the praise.
December 31st, 2021
Monika, thank you for diligently posting this thread and helping all 365ers stay abreast of all the challenges available. Wishing you everything of the best for 2022. Take care and stay safe
December 31st, 2021
@salza Sally, I am pleased that I can be useful around here. Thank you! All the best in the year to come! Take care!
December 31st, 2021
I’ve been here enough years that I feel I should know this but I don’t. Is there a way to pin this so that I can find it again on Monday or Tuesday without having to go through the whole list of themes and challenges?
December 31st, 2021
@gardencat I have no idea. Maybe it's an idea that can be suggested as an improvement to Ross @scrivna
December 31st, 2021
Along with some other idea: to keep the latest discussions ordered by the adding time, instead of update time. @scrivna
December 31st, 2021
@gardencat @monikozi
I contacted Ross on many occasions about posting this in his weekly blog section with no success. You may have better luck, Monika, than when I was running this.

Joanne - I moved this to the General to make it easier to find. Just go to the Discuss menu, click on General, and it is always fairly close to the top.

Monka - thank you so much for relieving me of this duty. I really appreciate the break.
I have my passion back and hope to devote more time to photography once again. Just give me a shout if you need a break or even if you want to give it back to me.
December 31st, 2021
Thanks for all the responses. I’ll check out General next time I am looking. There have been several times when I’ve been looking for a challenge that I know I read about but just can’t seem to find the right thread for the rules and the tag and this list helps so much with that. Thanks @monikozi. For doing it.

@farmreporter Hello Wendy!!! I am so very glad you are back with your phojo sky high!!!!
I do not have an issue with the SH*T list. But if you feel like it, by all means, take it over. I don;t wish to spoil your momentum. :D
If you need, I have just updated the document where I keep it. It is a google doc and I can share it to you if you provide me an email address. And you can use it as shared document or just take over the info in it. Whichever pleases you. If you reply here with an email address, I will share the document and take it as your taking over the list.
January 6th, 2022
@farmreporter Oh... I can not delete your reply here (it is only possible in my own photos). So, you can delete it from here, if you don;t want the email address to be visible.
No worries about not seeing this. I noticed that some notifications fail to arrive, even if the user is tagged. But it is no big deal, really.

Thank you!
Now deleted!
