I am all for re-instating or starting a new Community lounge thread similar to what was experienced in the Come Fly to Me Thread. Yes, we have all made some new friends - renewed some older acquaintances - and have even had three (or maybe four) get-togethers (Do's) born from that thread.

After the contest, we all continued to post, and, as you said, we all shared a certain 'stream of consciousness' ranging from the serious to the ridiculous. Some posts evoking laughter - and some posts bringing forth shared experiences and reflections. It was, indeed, a great place to post.

I'm chiming in to say I'm all for a similar Community Lounge thread.
