Admin Q/A thread

 

 

It's the first week in August AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! (If not, don't worry, I recently found out too. lol)

 

I'll start, If you could recommend any book, ANY one, which one would it be?

 

I love so many books, but I do think it's worth reading the Lord of the Rings series if you have the time! - Admin

Thanks for making this @zoba_tea! Ig admin q&a is okay for this week then unless anyone has any other ideas and admins are ok with it?? Here's the schedule again:

- The Month of August: Admin Appreciation Month. The first week is Admin Q&A, the second week is Written Appreciations, the third is Art for the Admins, and the fourth everything else. It ends with a day of silence on August 31st, and no one posts anything to give the Admins a break.

I know one of the admins has a pyrenees/pyr mix, right? Assuming this question reaches that admin, does your pyr ever do a pyr paw (I think you can look it up if you don't know what that is; it's adorable <33), and does your pyr bark like crazy when people (e.g. mailperson, delivery person) approach your house (our pyrenees used to do that and one of our neigbors would get soo annoyed haha :) )

 

Hah, I hadn't heard of the pyr paw, but she definitely does that. It's usually pretty gentle--if you're petting her she liked to rest a paw on you as well. And yes, she is a loud barker. She loves to keep an eye on the driveway and let us know if anyone or anything comes by! - Admin

Hello Admins! Have you been watching the Olympics? If so, what events? And which ones do you find most interesting?

Oh yes I've been watching what I can. So many interesting events from which to choose. I've seen lots of swimming and gymnastics, the triathlons, diving, the road race, and bits  of surfing, equestrian, canoeing, and track. And I'm really looking forward to artistic swimming (synchronized), which starts on August 5.

Hey @admin! Do you have a favorite hobby or craft? And I heard you like dnd, have you seen the movie Honor among thieves? Or have you played any of the video games like baldur's gate?

 

I enjoy reading, drawing, and crocheting. Yes, I have seen the Dungeons and Dragons movie (lots of fun!) and played some of Baldur's Gate 3. - Admin

Do you know who came up with the idea of the CB, and how you guys got involved?

The idea probably came from a group of Cricket staff, primarily editorial staff. Admin responsibility was assigned to a few on the editorial staff at a time, taking turns to review and post comments at specific times of the day and week.

@admins do you enjoy writing or reading? And do you know the other admins?

I love reading and I like writing letters to friends or keeping a travel journal. I know the other admins through work experiences.

@admin who was your favorite character from the Honor among thieves movie? And are there any other fandoms that you like besides dnd?

 

Hmmmm, I suppose I was charmed by Chris Pine's bard! I like lots of media, books, shows, movies, music. It's hard to choose! - Admin

@admin what's your favourite activity to do with friends/family?

 

I love to go for a long walk and talk, maybe look at nature or cool houses. I also love to cook and eat with people I love! - Admin

@Admins, ok this is probably a weird thing to say but you all (or maybe just one of you, as you all go by Admin) remind me of my grandma, but in a really good way.  Is that weird?  I have no idea, but I said (wrote???) it anyway.  Also, thank you so much for being the CB's moderators and keeping it going for so long, it's been almost 4 years since I joined and believe it or not I'm going off to college very soon, and I'm extremely thankful for being able to have a safe, friendly online community I could grow up in <3

Ok sorry for the rambling, here's my actual question - what's your favorite type of dessert?  And if it's a general catagory (like ice cream or cake), what's your favorite flavor/variation?

I'm honored to be reminiscent of your grandma! Favorite dessert? It's hard to name just one. I guess I'll say warm cherry (or peach or apple or blueberry) pie a la mode. And my favorite flavor ice cream or frozen custard would be coffee or mocha.

Here's a question:

So I have a story about a girl that goes to Church/Bible camp and I like to post some chapters on Inkwell. Would that be OK? 

If you wrote the story, it's fine to submit it for Admin review.
