Hello all! Our member Glow-worm ( glowworm) had been coming up with fun challenges in the style of the ones that Illuminata ( illuminata) used to post on the prior forum. Glow-worm set a goal ... suggesting doing 30 fun-silly-inspiring challenges. Continuing to send love and support to Glow-worm .... and thanks for starting this series of fun challenges! Hugs to Glow-worm!  --------------------- Although Glow-worm seems to be offline for now, we can continue with the challenges. I thought we could re-title the threads to be "30 fun challenges" (instead of "30 days of challenges") ... so that we wouldn't feel REQUIRED to post one every single day -- for 30 days in a row. Instead, there can be a new thread whenever we have time to create one. --------------------- List of all the "30 fun creative challenges"(from July-Sept 2008): takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/1710
---------------------
And ... here's the new one (#19)This challenge is inspired by Illuminata's challenges from the old board.
Here's how this challenge works: Someone will give you a new word periodically, until we've done 30 threads.
Your challenge is to find something in or around your home that is related to that word, that needs to be picked up, organized, cleaned, thrown out, or otherwise desqualored.
Here are the rules:
 Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us.
You are not required to complete every challenge to participate; feel free to pop in and out depending on your schedule.
If you decide not to participate, you are welcome to join in the thread to cheer others on.
Today's word is RIDICULOUS !
Do you have something in or around your home that is RIDICULOUS that needs to be cleaned, replaced, or thrown out?
 Why was I saving THAT ? That's RIDICULOUS !
 What is THAT doing there ? That looks RIDICULOUS there!
Why am I waiting to mail this bill payment? Waiting is RIDICULOUS !
Why am I waiting to wash THAT ? Waiting is RIDICULOUS !
Is your home full of RIDICULOUS things ?
 Now's the time to take one small action step towards progress.
You could listen to a RIDICULOUS comedy routine while cleaning anything !
You could play RIDICULOUS games while cleaning !
You could sing a RIDICULOUS song while cleaning!
 Are you taking your squalor too seriously? Time to lighten up!
Rules are made to be broken. Creative variations of the word of the day are encouraged!
Just pick one small thing to change ... that's all !
Remember to have fun!
Good luck with today's challenge and remember to report back here when you're finished!  |

I love this CL_SS!
And there's an additional bonus for Harry Potter fans! In the HP books, "Ridikulous!" is the spell one uses to banish that which one fears.
How cool is THAT?!

Today, I worked in the basement cellar room - I came across a furnace pipe for a Franklin Stove - it was from another house that we had and sold at least 10 years ago. That is sitting outside now - it is going on garbage day. One of my problems is that I have to task of going through everyone else's things in my family - I am the last man out. It is not a good position to be in.

this sounds fun so I'm gonna try to join in.. I spent a ridiculous amount of time in the garage today, got 3 boxes ready for freecycle, and a ton of things to the recycle bin, and created somewhat of a walkway in the garage! yeah

As I posted before on your list of challenges, I had a rediculous amount of sutff laying around, and chores to do that I had procrastinated about for at least a month. So today's word was perfect! I re-arranged my parlour so that chairs were not left in the middle of the room for lack of space, because that's rediculous. Then I emptied a box that was left there for months..rediculous! After that I got inspired by DjollyDjolan and washed a load of clothes. My laundryzilla monster was growing to Rediclous proportions, so that fits here also. Now I feel like I have really accomplished something!  3g |

- Way to go, everyone ! I deleted several years worth of ancient email from 1998-2002 that was for my ex (back when we shared this computer)... It wasn't his personal email. It was listserve email from several old computer sysadmin newsletter email lists that he used to subscribe to. Just a wee bit out of date ... Like I really need to know the latest Linux RedHat or Debian upgrade patch from 1999?  RIDICULOUS that I had saved all that on my computer! - |
