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. This series is now called "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 (#20)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 RANDOM !
Do you have something in or around your home that is RANDOM that needs to be cleaned, replaced, or thrown out?
-
 RANDOM items strewn about ?
- RANDOM junk in your car ?
- RANDOM thoughts distracting you from working ?
- RANDOM stuff in a box ?
 Today's the day to do something about it !
Here’s a VARIATION on this game ...DON’T THINK ABOUT IT … ![]()  Just grab the first RANDOM thing you find … and put it where it goes !
More ideas ....
You could put some music in your music player – and set it to RANDOMIZE ... and listen while cleaning whatever !
 You could even purge/organize some of your books published by RANDOM HOUSE (and other publishers) !
 Rules are made to be broken. Creative variations of the word of the day are encouraged!
Remember … don’t think about it. This is a RANDOM challenge. 
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!

- This challenge today was inspired by someone who said on another thread that she liked the randomness of these challenges  |

I randomly vacuumed my mom's kitchen (well started at least, there was too much junk to get very far, but it looks better at least)

- Yesterday, after I started this thread, I realized that the thread entitled "Successful Non-Thinking"takeonestepatatime.proboards80.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1723seemed randomly synchronous. I smiled. This evening, I grabbed some clothes that were RANDOMLY scattered on the floor, and tossed them into the washing machine .. colors, lights, rayons, cottons, whatever ... all together WITHOUT SORTING. Turned on the wash. I set the timer for a RANDOM number of minutes (I spontaneously decided on 8 minutes -- for no particular reason) -- and washed as many dishes as I could in that amount of time. I opened one of my 12-Step books to a RANDOM page ... and ...  .. here's what it said: -- excerpt from "For Today" copyright by Overeaters Anonymous, Inc., from the page for May 16. Got a random impulse to take action ? Go for it ! - |

At some point (obviously many moons ago) I had randomly tossed a loaf of bread  in the pile o' crap in the corner of my bedroom, where it became covered up with other stuff and molded. Colorful, exotic, scary mold. I tossed the loaf of bread.  |
