August 23rd Weekly SH*T List

August 23rd, 2024
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!

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.

Thank you for doing this every week. I have a question, what happened to the Black and White Challenge?
August 23rd, 2024
@darchibald
Thank you for bringing that one to my attention, Dave.
There are a few challenges that have slipped off the radar.
I will do some research and find them this evening.
August 23rd, 2024
Two more that I can think of Wendy are architecture and sports action. John falconer was running sports and I gave him a prod some time ago but so far nothing. If you need someone to run a challenge I can help.
August 24th, 2024
@farmreporter I believe Six Word Story has dropped off as well. Happy to help chase or host if you need!
August 24th, 2024
@farmreporter I can get the b&w challenge going again if needed.
August 25th, 2024
@darchibald @cdcook48 @ljmanning
Thank you, everyone for bringing these to my attention. I have checked into them all and contacted the hosts to give them a gentle nudge.
Let's give them a couple of days to respond and go from there.
John Falconer was host for both Six Word Story and Sports Action.
Kathryn Kametty won the BW challenge but was not properly notified in a comment box so she may not have been aware she had won. She does not post regularly so it may take a while for her to respond.
Andrew Allsop was host of the Architecture challenge and probably just forgot to short list.
I will contact you if we don't get any response and pass the baton of restarting the challenge onto one of you.
August 27th, 2024
@ljmanning @cdcook48
John has yet to answer either the Six Word story or Sports challenge.
Would you each be willing to resurrect one of them?
Laura - would you please do the Sixws and Chris would you please host the Sports challenge?
No need to mention any names or what happened - just say that you are resurrecting a challenge that has fallen off of the radar.
Thank you both for bringing them to my attention and keeping them alive!!
August 27th, 2024
@farmreporter I’d be happy to get Sports Action going again Wendy.
August 27th, 2024
@cdcook48
Thank you, Chris!!
August 29th, 2024
@ljmanning
Laura -
Are you willing to resurrect the Six Word Story?
Let me know if you can't and I will start it.
August 31st, 2024
@farmreporter Hi Wendy - sorry for the delay. I’m just back from holidays and had no internet for a week. I will get on it!
August 31st, 2024
@ljmanning
Thank you!!
I realized that you were away when I went to your project page.
