What about a forum to announce pregnancies, births, adoptions, new pets, or any additions to the family? I notice that we have a lot of those occurring pretty frequently here! I think it should be called the water cooler, because "we drank the water" is what a lot of us say when announcing.
I do understand if there aren't quite enough of these announcements to create an entire forum for, so I'm OK if this idea doesn't fly!

I second the motion.... or just add a forum just about pregnancy. it could have anouncments, people who might be trying to get preg, or for ladies to talk about being preg or who have just had the baby and want to share advice or info....please

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Me, three! With expecting our first, I have a lot of questions--anybody want to PM about prenatal testing? (Not to hijack the thread, but the right people are likely to see it!)

I think the forum is a good idea, but I defer to the admin/mods.

I agree. I would love a place to announce my new fish when I get around to getting it.

I bought a new pair of socks. Could we have a forum for announcing recent acquisitions, as well as seeking advice for which item of clothing to buy?

Well, I know you are joking, but I am serious about pets, etc. I do not think they are the same as man, but I do realize that everyone is not in the same stage here on the PB! Some people may never be parents, some may have been-there-done-that, some may be single, etc. I know that when we got a puppy before we had kids I sent a mass email to our friends announcing our newest addition! I guess I should have added new nieces and nephews and grandchildren, etc, to the list. I am sure we don't need a forum for this, it was just a thought♥

Do we really need yet another forum? As it is, I only use New Posts and search as it's impossible to find anything by looking through the various forums and sub-forums. In my opinion, if there aren't enough topics posted to make up about a page a week of topics it shouldn't have its own forum.

Actually I was not joking. I am quite serious. I am single and my fish mean a lot to me.

We already have the "Family Forum," which is a sufficient and appropriate place for said subjects.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

I think the coffee shop was supposed to serve these purposes. You know discuss the latest over coffee.
