Challenge 2008-20 - Tuesday September 30, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies,

I think the previous subject is DONE.  So, time for a new one!  I'm calling this one:

NO IF'S

As your Kween, I have just banished all if's in this realm!  For this challenge you may not have any excuses such as "if I were younger, older, single, married, smarter, prettier, more handsome, stronger...etc."  Now that there are absolutely no if's here, what are you going to do?

We'll leave this challenge open for a week or two, depending on the response!  Start NOW!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

For the past 4 years I have been hosting a HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA over on KoffeeKweens_Korner.  Go on over and take a look and let me know if this is something that you would be willing to participate in.  Your stories are sent to me and I put them together with an image.  I then post them on the site.  I would need to start this endevor almost immediately so please let me know if it will be worth my time!  Last year I had very few stories and I'd love to get at least 10 this year!

Remember:

 Those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

MUST DO's

You MUST have your entry put on PUBLIC.  You MUST link to either this site or the blog ring.  You MUST come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge, I will then link to your entry.  HERE is a link to making links with words if you don't know how to do it, just follow the link, it's really easy.

PLEASE DON'T

Use foul language.  Everyone is here to enjoy these writing challenges.  Please be considerate in your comments as you would like for everyone to be considerate of your entries.

PLEASE DO

Have fun with this challenge!  You can complete it in your own style.  If you wish to include pictures you can, however this is a written assignment.  Enjoy!

Sweet days and pleasant nights!~Kween

I'm trying to be sure I understand this one... Is the question/ topic what am I going to do in my life just as it truly is at this moment? With my reality? What's my next step? What's my commitment to something I need to do for real? ~~~ peace

@peacenow - MiLady. you don't have any excuses not to do something.  Period.  No if's such as "well, if I were younger, I'd."   or "if I weren't married I'd..."  Use your imagination!  Kween

I  need to explain that I was going to pass on this challenge as I have MRSA and have six inches of packing in my arm. I'm quite uncomfortable and tried my best to answer. elliott

You have until the end of this month.

Challenge 2008-18 - Friday September 12, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies,

As the last challenge didn't garner much interest (last time I try to give a challenge with any political overtones!), I've decided to put up a new challenge....depending on how it goes, you have at least until the 15th for this one.  Should it start gaining momentum, I'll think about extending it!

Your new subject is:

BOREDOM

You've all had those times....even if you have a million things to do, you just can't get over being bored....you'd rather do nothing than do chores, but you can't feel anything but bored...

What do you do to over come boredom?

Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

wow-this subject is very broad and I think the challenge might be varied from one writer to the next.  Should be fun to participate in as well as read what everyone else has to say about this and how they handle it.  Great challenge.
Posted 9/9/2008 at 12:38 AM by vjgunkel59
I'll give it a go, if the outcome doesn't bore you, then things are good.

Read what I have written at my site at:

And any boredom that you are feeling will be totally forgotten!  This is a relating of a TRUE happening!!

INTERESTING.

Posted 9/9/2008 at 6:56 AM by REDPOPPY1
I was wondering how many people would be willing to open themselves up to criticism (not that it would have actually happened through the blog ring) by stating political views on their blog. I guess I got my answer! This one is definitely up my alley and I will try to get to it before the 15 -- I haven't had time to be bored lately and that's a challenge in itself! LOL

@azcason - I was too, and you're right, we got our answers!  And as I said, that will be the last time I ask anything political on this blog ring!  I tend to keep my politics to myself, but have at one time or another been lightly critizied for it...Oh well, we now see why I leave those thoughts in my head!

Posted 9/10/2008 at 2:46 PM by Kween_of_the_Queens
Here you go. I think I got off topic a bit, but true proof of what I do when I become bored, which eventually makes me un-bored.
Posted 9/11/2008 at 2:22 PM by mileyfan08
Here is my post. Hope it isn't too boring

Challenge 2008-17 - Thursday September 4, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies,

I apologize for the delay (took me a bit to come up with a worthy subject...I hope it is worthy!)  Firstly, thank you all for your love and support!  It is much appreciated and your kind words have boosted me up.  A phenomenom that I have found to be almost the norm here on Xanga. 

Secondly, please note that I am celebrating my 3rd year on September 8 for heading up this blog ring!  I'm rather surprised it has lasted this long!  I never expected it to become such a popular blog ring!  Thank's to all of you for your participation and interest!

Typically I am NOT a political person.   However, because the Presidential election is set to happen here in the USA in November, I thought it would be interesting to pose this question:

What do you want in your country's leader?

You don't need to tell us who you're voting for.  In fact, this can be for ANY country....be it a Priminister, Head of State, President, or Royalty....I am just interested in reading what you really would like to see in your country's leader.  Have you been disappointed in your leadership?  Are you fed up?  Describe YOUR ideal leader!

TIME FRAME:  You have until the 15th of this month.

Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

You MUST have your entry put on PUBLIC.  You MUST link to either this site or the blog ring.  You MUST come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge, I will then link to your entry.  HERE is a link to making links with words if you don't know how to do it, just follow the link, it's really easy.
