Never Give Up, Never Surrender

Since it's March 11th, remember - you aren't alone fighting all by yourself.



"They have called this day The Eleventh of March! And whom-so-ever of you gets through this day, unless you are shot in the head or somehow slain...you will stand at tiptoe...when e'er you hear the name again, and you will get excited!...At the name March The Eleventh!

"We happy few, we few, we band of brothers...our names will be as like...household names. And those who are not here, be they sleeping or… doing something else...They will feel themselves...sort of crappy. Because they are not here to...to join the fight. On this day, the Eleventh of March!"


An informational week on the comm. We didn't have a midweek check in for elucidate_this's great idea for Giving up on Giving Up for Lent, but you can do so on this post, or on the previous check-in by nanila here.

Reminder that we now have a Friending Meme and a (locked) post where you can connect with others with live in the same area. We hope you find both of these posts useful!

We also have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.

As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.

Also if you need help with tags, PM redbird, who is our tag guru. Both tassosss and I are very grateful for the help.

So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?
