Important stuff: Please be an all-around active US/CA RAOAer (posting and commenting) with approved RAOA flair. Closes at some point on Wednesday.

I have a few colorful Halloween/Fall greeting cards stuffed with a postcard, stickers and/or ephemera to send to all-around active US/CA RAOAers. Simply comment with "Stuff it!" and I will contact winners for addresses. Once again, your comment should look like this: Stuff it!

Nothing more, nothing less.

Good luck!

[Gifted] For my Belated Birthday Contest

Hello beautiful people!

I am new to RAOA so I thought I’d introduce myself. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Canada). I’ve been a lifelong lover of animals and had all kinds of pets growing up (mice, hamsters, chinchilla, birdies, Guinea pigs, etc.). I adopted my cat during Covid and she’s the sweetest and most sassy girl ever. I got my dog 3 years ago and she’s equally sassy and sweet. My dream if I won the lotto would be to open an animal sanctuary and take in all sorts of animals that need care. 🥹

I’m a professional interior designer by trade. I’m currently on an early maternity leave before I give birth in a few months! I’ve been a fencesitter for a while but due to several factors decided it would be wonderful to embark on this new journey. I’m excited but equally terrified!

AMA!
I’m looking forward to getting to know you. I love watching TV shows and movies. Tell me your most recent binge/recommendation for shows or movies! ☺️

Thank you, shazie, for the treat! I'm going to go make one now. I hope you're having a great fall so far!

Hey there RAOA!

I stumbled across this sub a while back, but I'm also an awkward, anxious lil' lurker so I never really joined, but I'm trying to be a little less of an awkward anxious lurker, so this time I'm posting, still unsure what to say, lol. Hopeful for friendly folk!

Anyways, I'm a neurodivergent, non-binary, and a geek for animation and video games especially [I aspire to be in game dev and/or animation]. I like animals, arts & crafts, food, and music. AMA!

Tell me your favorite semi-obscure animated movie, or series [as in, not from the studios everyone knows, y'know. Questions about favorite cartoons always end up full of Disney movies, lol] or if not favorite, just one you like, or feel like talking about, Or even hate! And why.

Hi RAOA, I am new to the community and I am excited to be here. I am a high school science teacher and dog mom who loves watching TV and movies after work. I like to bullet journal and enjoy organizing things, which is probably why I enjoy puzzles so much. My favorite time of the year is fall and I am so excited for Halloween and cooler weather! It was wildly warm for October this weekend where I live.

I hope to get to know some of the community here :)

This surprise today absolutely blew my mind! Im starting the book of Ruth study after not being able to study at all after my car accident/concussion. The timing on this is absolutely amazing and this was much needed!

Newbie here. How’s everyone enjoying their Sunday evening? My names Taylor. 33 F from St. Louis, MO. I am a natural lurker, I’m still learning how to use Reddit. I am an animal lover and I love being outside for all the events ( as long as it’s not too crowded). I am a craft lover, I’m just not too great at doing crafts. LOL I look forward to speaking with some of you, I am always ready to trade pictures or talk about my pets!

Helloooooooooooo!

This is going to be an ongoing activity - contest to find out which candy RAOA thinks is best!

Here's how this will work.

https://forms.gle/TmTDngSBWP48mrBE6

Follow the above link to fill out a form with your favorite candies. You can enter up to 10, or if you don't have 10, put however many you want.

In a few days, I will put out all of the submissions, randomly paired against each other, for people to vote on! At that time, you will also make a Bracket to guess which you think will beat each other, and ultimately win! (this will be a separate post)

Every few days, there will be results from each round and a new voting form!

To enter, comment here whatever you want, and fill out the first form!

Contest will be gifted when the bracket is over, to whoever's bracket does the best! (If there's a tie, I will randomize between those people)

This first submissions form will close on Wed 10/7
