My Dearest OOA

Wow, thank you so much! I feel that those reports are hugely exaggerated, but I’ll take it!

@irishalliwell120 I’m not on the side of OOA. My reintroduction to the forum is one of ummm, calling in a favor? That might be a good way to put it. Regardless, I’m on the side of anyone who needs assistance or feels confused. I’m also on the side of friendship, regardless of allegiance. I hope we do get to meet one day!

XD – Glad our nonsense entertained, and sorry for making you look ill in public. Like I said, I’m very glad you’ve been pulled back in – and your memory is scary. You and Daela could start a detective agency.

❤️❤️❤️

@irishalliwell120 Brave girl. I like that! If 3 tries to eat you, scream out and i’ll come help pry open his jaws.

@Michelle your post really hit home to me. I understand how you feel. I’m a college grad and an escape room junkie (I’ve been locked in over 150 rooms where you solve puzzles to escape for fun) and I agree that I often don’t see the “puzzles”. Sometimes I think it’s because the pieces are too scattered across the forum & social media for me to keep track of and other times I’m just not sure there are any. Then if I do think I see something, I’ll excitedly go to the forum only to find I was too slow and the conversation has already happened and I feel I have nothing more to add. I’d like to mention that I literally check the forum and social media ALL day since I’m usually just at home all day. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be if you can only catch up after work. I was away for a couple of weekends and coming back to the forum after each was so overwhelming that I almost quit. I felt like I was so behind and had missed so much I’d never catch up. But I did and here I am. I’m glad you are here too. I wish @Iris would start a regular “summary post” to help keep everyone up to date.

A summary post would be an excellent idea. If someone wanted to do such a thing, @mkarrett and I can work out a way to keep it stickied and updated/regularly replaced.

However, in order for this to show up as an alert for them you’ll need to tag them with their user names instead of their “friendly” names. You can find them by clicking their names, and the names @irishalliwell120 and @halfbloodfangirl are found at the top of their profile, under their picture

Thank goodness I’m not the only one. I just often feel as though I miss things and am struggling to find all the breadcrumbs and pieces. What you’ve said has really struck a cord with me in return. Sometimes, by the time I’ve entered a conversation, I feel as though it’s gone dead. What can I add now that hasn’t been said. I’m home most of the day for now too. I can’t imagine staying caught up while only being able to check on periodically.

@irishalliwell120 So much of what you’ve said resonates with me, especially what you’ve said about learning to be okay with yourself around others. This has been something I’ve been struggling with as well. Thank you for sharing that with me even if it was a it Redbull induced. 😉 I believe part of our _path is learning from one another, already Tension has given me so much. Sending you hugs. x

@mkarrett – possibly, but we may be able to accomplish the same thing with a weekly sticky post in Misc or New Aspirants forums. Forum restructuring is a bigger endeavor and may not be needed.

@crelegant, @thegilded and I are hatching a plan right now. Will keep you updated.

Awesome! And as you and @thegilded and a few others seem to be leader figures amongst the participants, if there’s anything you specifically want me to do, let me know!
