Y'all might want to check out the September newsletter when it comes out ;)

Serious question, where do I find/sign up for the newsletter?


message 861: by Judith (new)

Judith (brownie72011) | 7434 comments Mod
It goes out each month as a direct message to all members of NBRC. I tend to send it out on the first of the month, give or take a day. And it will come from the official Mod account.

As long as you are a member of the group, you should get it. But I’ll post here after I send it out so people know when to check.


message 862: by Jillypenny (new)

Jillypenny | 193 comments Thank you; I don't think I've ever received a newsletter. Is it possible that I asked to not receive it at some point?

When I went to your profile, it says you're not accepting messages. Maybe you have to change your settings. You might have it set to receiving messages from friends only, or no one.

message 865: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments Yes! A bit bummed it only starts in October though as I plan on September to be a GREAT reading month for me lol. So many readathons happening this upcoming month!

What if I say that a conversation between Jenny and Sonia, back in the mists of time, might have been a germ of inspiration??


message 868: by Donna (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments Wait, Jenny was involved? That's scary.

Jenny, what did you do?


message 869: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8291 comments Chipmunks & Cats? Should be interesting. :)

She had a suggestion for a word during a conversation with Sonia and others that I happened to be a part of.

I gleefully brought it back to the NBRC mods, cackling all the while

Cat (cat_uk) | 10095 comments Mod
.... and obviously we have cackled at intervals ever since, rubbing our hands in glee for when we can break it out and then point at Jenny & Sonia (and others, probably including Sammy) and say it's all their fault!


message 872: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4247 comments Ha, this substantiates my theory that everything is Jenny’s fault. (I’m completely innocent this time).

Me? What did I do? It wasn't me! Didn't do it!

But yeah, Jenny and Sonia? We should be scared. But it'll be fun, no question. ;)

We have to try to keep the chipmunk level high! Don't want to let the side down.


message 878: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments Here I was, innocently working away, and then I sat down for a minute to eat lunch, and check GR.

Now what did I do? Sonia, do you remember? I don't have time to scroll through the Lusties thread right now, damn it!

I think it may of been during the MRR challenge but I’m not 100% sure.

We’ve been sitting on this idea for awhile. Bwahahaha


message 880: by bamaace83 (new)

bamaace83  | 965 comments I'm just sitting here with my popcorn and a good glass of bourbon waiting for more information. I am a little curious of the evilness that may have been thought up...

Ah. Food related evil. Yeah, that doesn't narrow it down much.


message 883: by Donna (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments I think that Jenny is trying to say that she has too many evil thoughts. You may have to narrow it down a bit more. LOL


message 884: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments I don't know what you mean.
I am pure as the driven snow. I though everyone knew that.


message 885: by Donna (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments Sure you are...


message 886: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments My kitties think I am wonderful. What else do I need?


message 887: by Donna (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments Well nobody said you weren't wonderful. Just not pure as the driven snow. You are wonderfully crazy and we wouldn't have you any other way!


message 888: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments Aw shucks.

Oh lord... I have no recollection of any conversation at all so, I am scared as well


message 890: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12855 comments It figures... If Sonia is scared of herself, what should the rest of us be going through about now? :D

*evil mod cackle*

I'm sure your minds will be coming up with worse things than we have if it's any consolation.


message 892: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12855 comments You know... I think I have a vague recollection of the conversation, and yes I think it was MRR. It's gonna keep bugging me now until I remember what it was, lol.


message 893: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments I can't wait!! I'll just hope the wheel (assuming that's what it is...) goes easy on whatever team I end up on . . . though I'm sure there will be some interesting tasks we're all subjected to ;-)

Seriously, it was almost a year ago. I think y'all half forgot I'd joined this mod squad when Jenny said it.

Which is why I immediately throw out the suggestion for the next Wheel shortly after the last one ended (or maybe even before it ended), so I could capture it in the moment. And not forget. hehe


message 895: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Oh wait... I remember you saying something about challenge possibilities....

Dang it. Team Trouble indeed.

message 898: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments AHA!
I think I remember now. I am pretty sure I mentioned Brad Pitt, when he was in Troy. So, clearly, the wheel is all about naked men in mediocre movies.

Right?

Yeah. I still got nothing.

By the way, welcome, The, to the madhouse. You will have some fun.


message 899: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Achilles and Hector.

Sounds about right on my book

I'm in for that challenge! :D

I'll let you guys have Achilles though. I'll take Hector and Odysseus ;)
