This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I keep my starter in the fridge. It’s gone 9 months between feedings. After that long it usually takes 2 rounds of feedings to get going again, but she’s always come back, bubbling and lively as ever, going on 8 years now or so.
It's never crawled out of the fridge and come to wake you up for feeding at 5:00 a.m.?
