Have you heard from your daughter or son? My daughter is in Div 300 and she sounds good, but tired. Interesting in hearing how your daughter or son is doing.

As everyone moves on with their sailor we will all slowly drift from this PIR 9/2 thread. I've seen it a 1000 times. It's ashame because we are really a tight group and have come to understand one another. (except for Dave, I still can't understand him -ha)....
I'm wondering if we should start a new group? Something like "The Chicken Coop - Hot and Extra Spicy Discussions" or something... We would have members that discuss stuff about everything. You just post whats on your mind. Kind-of line the tv show Sienfeld, it a thread about nothing. You go to whatever area on N4M you like, then you stop on by this area just to unwind and hear the different things people have to say.
The problem would be someone would b*tch. The humor we displayed here in the PIR 9/2 always pushed the edge, and I am probably the one that sometimes brought it to that edge. So, I think someone would complain and it would be short lived, even if we put a disclaimer at the beginning saying that we are a rowdy bunch. But, I still think we should try. If it gets banned, then it gets banned. Our group is just a small sliver and a reflection of our society and we should show it....
What do you guys think? If it did happen, what would be the name? Do you think it would survive? Would you guys show up? Is it even worth doing? Let me hear your thoughts......
