<p>i love ‘say it here because you can’t say it directly’!</p>
<p>Support for Latetoschool, hands down.</p>
<p>My favorite thread ever was MollieB’s wedding.</p>
<p>The common ingredient in both LTS and MollieB’s is that a poster offered herself up with a lot of personal info that allowed us to become involved at an unusual level for a generally anonymous site.</p>
<p>My favorite thread varies from moment to moment, and has a lot to do with reaching me where I am at. I appreciate the above mentioned threads. I also especially liked some various sagas over the years about the college ap process (eg. Andi and Curmudgeon, to name two wildly opposite processes), and lots of things on the music forum. Plus, anything posted to my own personal dramas (Korea trip, college ap process, teacher woes…) - because they hit me where I live!</p>
<p>Sinners Alley, just for a welcome break…somplace where everybody knows your (screen)name.</p>
<p>1) Say it here cause you can’t say it directly… love to vent, love to hear others vent because it makes me feel better about my own problems.</p>
<p>2) Tales from college part eleventy-zillion… hilarious</p>
<p>3) Andison’s tale of not getting admitted anywhere and doing a gap year. A must-read for anyone who doesn’t understand the concept of a Safety school and anyone whose college search didn’t end up going the way they wanted it to, with an eventual happy ending</p>
<p>4) Curmudgeon’s story about taking his daughter back to college last year. Laugh out loud!</p>
<p>My favorite thread (at least the only one I downloaded in its entirety) was the one where a poster wanted to broaden her kid’s music knowledge for a long drive and all the posters listed what they thought were the essential hits of classical, jazz, blues, rock and roll, country and probably a few other genres I am forgetting.</p>
<p>How do we download threads ?</p>
<p>support for Latetoschool, and the Vigil Thread.</p>
<p>But what I really, really miss is the Meta Thread.</p>
<p>Well download is a loose term - I just highlighted the whole thing and copied it into a Word document.</p>
<p>No. 1 Most Missed Thread is </p>
<p>“The Meta Thread for All of Us”</p>
<p>Most Classic: the Gap Year of Andison…if you are new here, find
it and read…even though gap year if not an issue for you.</p>
<p>I like when there are book threads running, what you read last, what
you’re going to read next, your obscure or less known children’s books,
the Chinaberry catalog discussion.</p>
<p>I like the Vigil thread. Then people pm me and I feel like I exist in
parallel universe.</p>
<p>Support for Lateforschool, absolutely.</p>
<p>Also, the book threads–I get such great suggestions for books to read, plus it’s fun to discuss the ones you’ve read with others who also read them.</p>
<p>I’m glad folks liked the Meta thread–I take no credit; it morphed into something beyond my wildest imagination!</p>
<p>My all time favorite for sidesplitting good reading was Curmudgeon taking his D to school.</p>
<p>What happened to the Meta thread? It was a favorite of mine.</p>
<p>I think it got a little, um, racy (in a silly way, but it also attracted some spam, which showed up in a few threads during that time), and maybe that was why it was taken down. Just a guess, but I did worry that might happen.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can click on File, Save As - then save the thread wherever you like. But it will only save the posts that exist up to the time you save it.</p>
<p>Hands down, then menopause thread from a while back. I have not laughed so hard since the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s season.</p>
<p>Close second: curmudgeon’s moving adventures</p>
<p>For those old timers- EvilRobots thread about deciding to attend Yale or Vandy is a classic.
LTS’s thread is stunning in all ways</p>
<p>^^oh yes, SJChessMom, EvilRobot’s thread was a classic. I wonder how he is doing these days? Wouldn’t he be graduating this year?</p>
<p>well, momof2inca, your appearance reminds me of another favorite thread: the one about people’s screen names. And how yours always evokes the image of you, holding hands with your two little Incas. :D</p>
<p>except now one of them is moving to Washington for college, so I’m no longer going to be momof2inCA but rather momof1inca or momof2incawa… all of which is just a little disconcerting and awkward!</p>
