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! --------------------- 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 (#21)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 BACK !
Do you have something in or around your home – relating to the word BACK -- that needs to be cleaned, replaced, or thrown out?
Here are some suggestions …. Take one of these or make up your own. The possibilities are endless.
- Some thing needing to be PUT BACK where it goes?
- Want to try cleaning something BACKWARDS just for fun?
- Need BACKGROUND noise while cleaning? Hum a song or listen to a program that contains the word BACK in the title ... while you're cleaning.
- Need to find ways of cleaning that would prevent a BACK INJURY?
You could try moving a sturdy chair next to where you are cleaning and see what you can do without bending. You could scoot about -- cleaning by sitting on a wheeled chair or stool. You could use a grabbing stick to pick up stuff. You can clean your bathtub area with a mop with a long handle.
- Overcommitted to helping friends? BACK OUT of one of those events, and spend some time making your own home nicer.
- Do you feel like your BACK is up against the wall with deadlines? Find one small thing you can do to relieve the tension.
- Like many of us, do you have a BACK ROOM OF DOOM ? Find one small thing there you can throw away. Just start. No need to do the whole room today!
- Is your BACK YARD in need of care? What small beginning can you make on that?
- BACK-UP
BACK IN
BACK DOWN
BACK OUT
BACKWARDS
COMEBACK
GET BACK
The possibilities for improvisation on this word are endless!
- Is something holding you BACK ?
 Today's the day to do something about it !
 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!  - |

Oh, thanks for the reminder, I need to take some movies back to the video store too! Get them back before I get late fees or, worse yet, lose them. Avoid contributing to financial squalor!

Today I intend to fill out important paperwork from over a year BACK! It will help me immensely, and I have put it off forever.  3g |

well, today I went BACK to my mom & dad's house and helped mom a bit, I vacuumed, she sorted thru some boxes. You have to understand, that, to them, is HUGE progress... she also gave me a ton of recyclables since I now get rewarded for recycling. In the past she really could never part with plastic containers, etc, well she gave me a whole big box full of things to recycle. yeah for getting rid of junk!

Soaking the shower head in vinegar to loosen the mineral deposits in the holes of the shower head in the shower massage setting that I want to use to massage my aching BACK. The holes are so clogged with deposits, that the water is just not massaging out the way it used to, hence the need for the soaking.
