The really important things that new moderators need to know

I love showing the kids A colour symphony experiment @Former-Member

Where you pour milk into a tray, put in food colouring and and liquid soap to the dish and see what happens to the food colouring. So when you use the soap it breaks down the fat in the milk causing the colours to scatter and mix creating a cool colourful display. Supper easy but effective!

@Former-Member..... I may be trying that with soy milk when I get home tonight!!!!

I am not the biggest of science nerds, but I did have a Grandpa that was a scientist and he taught me lots of cool things about erosion haha! Oh and I believe your name means 'Serotonin' I did have a little help with that one I must admit 😉 @Former-Member

@Former-MemberIt might not work with soy milk becasue it needs the fat in the milk. Best result is to use full cream milk

Good evening

I am superly duperly excited that I've managed to drag encourage some of you over to The Great Yoga Adventure thread. I noticed that @Former-Member and @Former-Member were asking questions about it, so I figured that this must be another really important thing that new moderators need to know.

The great yoga adventure started back in July when @CheerBear and I decided to venture into the brave new world of yoga classes together but not. I had been wanting to go to a class for a super long time but was too scared. Doing it together but not with Cheerbear made it a bit less scary.

So...if you look at the beginning of the thread, there are several pages of CheerBear and I figuring out what the heck people wear to yoga classes. Happily for me, @Former-Member and @Former-Member had already answered my question about whether people wear underpants under yoga pants. Yes, that really was one of the reasons I'd been scared of going to a class - I didn't know what the social protocol was around underpants and yoga pants.

One of the big questions was whether people wear socks in yoga classes. We never totally decided on an answer so I thought I'd better buy some new socks just in case. I found some superly duperly awesome ones in Big W. They are black with bright yellow ducks on them. When I told CheerBear about them, she went and bought the same socks so that we could wear them together but not to our respective classes. I reckon it is super cool to think that our duck socks were probably hanging out together at the duck sock factory. As an aside, I love my duck socks so much, I may possibly have gone back to Big W and bought every pair they had in my size.

Anyway, CheerBear and I survived our first class and we have been yoga-ing ever since. @soul also got inspired to join a class and she seems to have become mildly addicted, going to a class pretty much every day.

On the great yoga adventure thread we do a pose-a-week challenge, where the goal is to do the pose every day for the week. There are no rules about how long you need to do it for or anything. You simply do it. Tree pose seemed to be a particular favourite and some people just keep doing that one every week...and that's ok.

Thus far we have filled up Forum Land with trees, warriors, happy babies, mountains, dogs, pigeons, eagles, and bridges (I think that's it). I would super love to see you in our yoga group.

Oops @Phoenix_Rising - I may be more than mildly addicted to yoga. Mind you out of all things to be addicted to, yoga is probably one of the better ones. So grateful for the encouragement of you and @CheerBear. You gave me the extra push I needed to rise to the challenge.

I am also quite addicted to walking - another not so unhealthy addiction. You'll find me on The Wqlking for Wllbeing thread. Better stroll over there now.
