May 1st Weekly SH*T List

May 1st, 2025


Congratulations to Ann H. LeFevre @olivetreeann for winning Round 9 of the weekly Quote challenge with a very appropriate photographic quote. 

This challenge is your opportunity to have your photo grace the top of the Weekly SH*T List!! It runs weekly from Thursday to Wednesday night, MST. Not only does the winner of the previous week have their photo featured on the Weekly SH*T list, but they have the honour of short-listing the next round of entries .... which has been an easy task since we have had limited entries thus far (making it far easier to win - lol!!)

So - give it a whirl. It's a lot of fun!!

NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT

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 as effective.

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.

The SH*T list only gives 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. Annie has chosen opposites this month - you might like to see if they tie in with May Half-Half month

I contacted the winner of the last round which was announced on April 22. She only posts intermittently so may not have been aware that she had won.
Let's give her a week or two and see what happens.

@lumpiniman
She got it up and running now.
