I hope seeing a few things up for my booth will get people interested. Sorry it's not "open" yet! Vyckie, I still have a boatload of old letters and stuff from my own fundie days. Are you open to non-QF Hall of Shame stuff? I can transcribe one. Though I rather shudder at the way I wrote back then, like the rest of you I'm sure. I provided my own prize for my booth. I had two good body image books in mint condition they can choose from. They can read more about them at Amazon to determine which they'd prefer. Tapati ~ your Body Image Workshop looks awesome ~ I can't wait for the carnival to open! Thank you for the prize donation. You are already doing so much for the NLQ Carnival Days, I hate to wear you out by asking for your crap too. If you have time, please do submit it. But ~ please be careful not to overdo it. I'd hate for this carnival to be a source of stress and headaches rather than fun and games and community I had a few short things I typed up quickly, much easier than writing new material though I had to groan as I did so. If any of the new stuff needs revision, let me know and I'll get to it tonight when I get home from our little day trip across the state. I'm getting really excited too!

Hey there I'm moving things around so that the forum is easier to navigate now that the carnival is over. Here's what I am going to do: I am moving all of the NLQ Carnival boards under two headings ~ 1) the Grandstand, and 2) the Midway. So ~ all the posts will still be here ~ you just will have to dig a little to find them. We are going to finish up voting for on the Midway games and announce prize winners in the next few days. I want to keep the Grandstand threads active because there were so many valuable contributions all in a short time ~ I want to be sure there is plenty of time for us to respond and interact on this veritable feast of topics I received the following email from an NLQ member: I have to say that I am floored by the number of posts and the range of perspectives that you had at the NLQ carnival. What you are doing is absolutely phenomenal. I do have an account at the forums, but I'm pretty shy, so I just tend to lurk. Whether or not you have a chance to read this, I just want to commend and congratulate you on the impact you are having. Keep up the good work.Absolutely phenomenal is exactly right, huh? Thanks so much to all who contributed. Hey ~ if you've sent me a PM lately, please be patient ~ I will write back to you. It's just that I wanted to take it easy this weekend ~ and starting early tomorrow morning I have a ton of stuff to do ~ kids' dental appts., etc. So ~ I'm falling behind, which is something that happens with me from time to time and eventually, I do catch up again I am going to keep the NLQ Chat Room open. I've decided to put a link on the blog and here on the forum ~ along with a thread in which NLQers are invited to post a quick note when they're in the chat room so that others will know to join in the chat. Such spontaneous gatherings seem like a better way to work it rather than trying to set any specific times or dates. I think after a while, it will become sort of routine to know who's generally around in the chat room during the various times and days. If you would be willing to serve as a chat room moderator when you are available to hang out in the chat room, please let me know. All it means is that I will set your member profile to allow you to boot trolls out of the chat room just in case there's a problem ~ which I don't really anticipate, but it is good to be prepared in the off chance that some jerk shows up. So ~ that's what I'm working on. Hopefully, it won't be too confusing. I think the NLQ Carnival Days was a spectacular success ~ thanks to all for your participation. Special thanks to Sargassosea, Tapati, Xara, Castor, Athiest, Jemand, Stampinmama, Aussiemama, Jadehawk, Rosa, um ... who else? If I've left anyone out, it's not because I don't appreciate your help ~ just that I've been rather overwhelmed and my brain's maybe not fully functional this evening. NLQ is a truly awesome community ~ and you all are the ones who make it so.
