No. I don't have the time or energy for more, and honestly, this board offers everything I could want in a message board.

We're on the same page, Theresa!
I do belong to the MA yahoo group, but that is more emails to everyone on the list.

Yes. I belong to one for PCOS, but mainly am there in the Faith and Healing forum, in the Catholic Cysters threads.
And I am also a very big poster over on Defenders of the Catholic Faith ( .catholic-convert.com )...it's set up by Steve Ray. Very well moderated and admin'd. And there are alot of different forums running--two just for ladies, some for families, some on liturgy...there are a number of priests and seminarians who post there, as well as at least one deacon that I know of. They don't tolerate a lot of nonsense...or heresy (while they do certainly encourage people asking questions, the mods demand respect for Catholic beliefs, iykwim--not Church-bashing allowed).

I am on a Yahoo group concerning ds 2yo's eye condition. Also a huge board of other moms who talk about everything- it is my dose of the real world which I am so happy to not be a part of every day!

I'm on some email lists - I am free to post or read or not, as time allows.
The only other message boards that I visit regularly are two fitness ones....so, this is my only homeschool related board...

I am also on CMOMC - Catholic Mom Commuity - through catholicmom.com I joined there first and they are a wonderful group of catholic women. Another friend of mine recommended this one as it had mutual friends on it and it was geared towards homeschooling moms.

I've recently started lurking on the FIAR boards to get some ideas and then they went and updated their boards and I've started posting more and it has been a blast so far.

I'm on a few email lists - generally on a nomail basis and I only post sporadically.
This is the only message board I'm on and t he only one I check in on with any regularity.

I have memberships on I don't know how many lists and boards, but not many are regular reads. Some I virtually never look at, some I will go through and read a whole bunch of the archives every so many months or follow for a while when they are of particular interest for some reason. There is one smaller Catholic mothers' board I joined years ago and posted on fairly regularly and check in on and post on now and then, but it's so small and slow it never takes much time and doesn't need to be checked very often. I don't read many of the posts from various mailing lists that do come to my main and gmail addresses, and then there's a whole bunch of no-mail Yahoogroups.
These forums are just the right size (not too slow but not overwhelming) and mix of topic-specific and general interest for me.

Taffy -- not to gush, but I'm with you -- this one has it all and so I don't need other boards; altho I do belong to some lists like Catholic Unschoolers, MA, etc.

Oh yes, I forgot about the Yahoo lapbooking groups. We haven't lapbooked this year yet and I had forgotten about them until today. There is a general one and then 4 other ones that are picture files of different lapbooks. No messages on that one. Only for pictures.

I've been a member of the FIAR boards for over 7 years now. I have found them to be extremely friendly, welcoming, and a wealth of information. And there's an easiness and a great devotion among the women on that board. There have been many times that the ladies over there have reached out to each other IRL, and during significant times during my homeschooling years they have been of immense support and "Jesus with skin on" for me and my family.
I've been a member of these boards for some time, but don't post as often as I do on the FIAR boards. When I post here, I tend to be a thread killer, it seems.

Sarah, just to prove your not a thread killer I will be the last reply.
The FIAR boards are very close and they also lost two very prominent members this last year. I knew them through the homeschoolblogger community but I know that the FIAR community there were important to Missey and Lorrie.
I saved this entry at Christy's blog to remind me what is really important. She dedicated her December in honor of Missey and Lorrie.
