I like the idea of a yummy mummy section too.

We could have a French sub-forum! This way, we would be a real Canadian forum and we may get more French-speaking members.

I don't *hate* them....

I just think they're tacky/lame. But a lot of things on RM are tacky/lame. lol

One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out

Betty Lou is a cutie!
I love TC's idea of a Yummy Mummy section. It could include an actual part where just running is discussed, then issues related to parenting (eating, sleeping, going back to work, multiple child families!), Expecting Mommas, EvilColl's workouts, etc.

We're going to try this new thing called jogging. Or maybe it's yogging-with a silent "j". Apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.

I don't see a reason why these can't all be threads in the current section... you guys don't have to keep everything in one thread in there. ;)

Well, not all pregnant or post-pregnancy running topics necessarily fit under the "scenic route" category, do they?

no, but they likely fit somewhere else. ;)

I don't think it's beneficial or necessary to have a separate forum for every special interest. I think we already have too many.

I've removed the limit for the embedded quotes. If it gets annoying, we can put a different limit on it (say, 5).

currently working on the search index... it *appears* to be indexing properly but I won't know for sure until it's done (which will be awhile because we have 1.1 million posts!!).
