Somewhere inside Chathouse®™ you might come across a chatter with the handle
JBH350-TA {M}, I met him on the Second Floor. Took what seemed like forever to
convince him the Zine actually existed *L*, but finally when he was a believer he gave me his
webpage addy and I visited. His site isn't just a homepage, it's a resource center!! His
site is loaded with cool animated graphics free for use on home pages!! I'm going back
to look for a few things I've been trying to find on line and who knows maybe you too can find
what you need at www.jbh350-ta.homepage.com!!
Would you like to recommend a site?

Over the past few weeks I found myself going over the floorplan and checking the Who's On Pages at
the Chathouse®™ and reading handles. Might sound unusual to you, or maybe not.
One of the biggest things you face when chosing your handle is it's originality. You don't want
a handle twenty other chatters have, you want one that is only yours. You want a handle that is
based upon only you, something to express yourself, or in my case that would be handleS *L*.
Some handles impressed me, others I just didn't understand, funny, some I couldn't even
read due to alt codes and / or spelling. Well, I chose a handful that I thought were quite original,
and not because of the use of alt codes. I commend these chatters for their originality!!! *BAS*

Insatiable Brunette
Handles: Insatiable Brunette or PiceSeas Girl
How did you come up with the handle? I decided to use
the "Insatiable Brunette" handle after some teasing
from a friend that it would suit me. Formally I was
known as Insatiable Blonde, but alas due to the fact
that I have once again gone back to my natural hair
color, I figured it was time to update my handle to
reflect my change in hair color. *G* I use these
handles due to the fact that they are a little bit
different, after all it is a way for me to express my
creativity, and not blend into the crowd. *G* Why am I
so Insatiable?? I get asked this one a lot when I chat
online... But sorry guys, the answer is that there is
a great man in my life, Scott (aka Big Stick), that I
just can't get enough of!
Location: Edmonton, AB Canada
Chatting: I have been chatting in the ChatHouse since
1995, The first room I hung out in was the Hot Tub on
the 1st Floor. (Back then I was known as ~Betty
Boop~ or Insatiable Blonde. Later I became a Tavern
(1st Floor) regular when my friend Travistee
introduced me to the room. Eventually this room died
and I became a regular of the LipStick Beauty Salon
(Downstairs). At the time I found a lot of other
local regulars who chatted there and I made some good
friends there. I can remember waiting 30 mins or more
just to get into the room some nights. This room
eventually died, partly due to all the bickering that
started going on in there. Since that time I don't
chat as much as I use to but I do scan by the
Downstairs and 1st Floor quite regularly and I stop in
rooms that might look interesting to me that night :0)
Age and Sign: I am 28 and my zodiac sign Pisces
Marital Status: Single, Never Married, but currently
involved with a great guy (Big Stick) so I'm off the
market :0)
Kids: No kids.. but one day I wouldn't mind one or 2
with the right guy. I want to be married first though
*G*
Pets: I have a 6 year old calico cat (Savanna), I have
pics of her on my home page. She lives with me in my
apartment in Alberta. I also have a 3 year
old Black & Silver Miniature Schnauzer who now lives
with my parents in B.C.
Profession: I am currently finishing up my exams for
my MCSE and CNE. (Computer Networking). I also have
my A+ certificate (Hardware Technician)
Hobbies and Interests: I love to spend time working on
my Home Page (www.angelfire.com/ca/BettyBoop/),
checking out and adding to my Message Board
(http://pub5.ezboard.com/blifeloveandrants). I enjoy
spending time with my friends and B/F as much as I
can. I love to play volleyball, or go out and shoot
some pool. From time to time I love to go out and hit
the dance floor *G*
Music Preferences: I really do like a bit of
everything, Enigma, Depeche Mode, AC/DC, Country,
Classical (Cannon is my favorite), Aerosmith, Pam
Tillis, Suzy Boggus, Dixie Chicks, Alanis Morrisette,
Ozzy Ozborne, Travis Tritt, Dance Music, Nazareth...
like I say... a bit of everything :0)
Pet Peeves: Drunk Drivers, Waiting For People Who Are
Late, Abusive Men, Having to clean the cat's litter,
Dishes,People who cheat in their relationships, Being
Lied To and Being lectured.
Motto or quote to live by: "What Ever Doesn't Break

~*Thoughts Of An Angel*~
Angelface™
~*Realizing your own inner strength*~
It seems to me that at times we humans tend to underestimate
ourselves both physically and emotionally, but the strength I am talking about here
is emotional...It took a very hard heartbreak for me to truly understand and see my
own strength I had no one but myself to rely on for that much needed confidence
we all sometimes can't find..I dug deep within myself and found the "me" I thought
I had lost....with a little soul searching and some prayer it came to me...my point
this week is this: Don't ever underestimate yourself, when times get tough and you
think things can't get better they will, look inside because in the end only one
person can make you happy and that is you *S*...think about it ok? Anyways I
leave ya with a :) Have a great week everyone! |

I know, above I have it written, Pepsi's slogan is Generation Next. But do any of you
recall the cola wars from the last generation? You know, Pepsi used to sponsor a taste
test where you had a small cup of Coke and one of Pepsi, you sipped them both said
which you prefered and they removed a small cardboard sheild to reveal the cans so you'd
know which soda you'd chosen. When I was a little girl they had this taste test set
up at the old main street fair we used to have and I got to take it!!! My brother and I
both took it and both chose the same soda, the real thing, COKE!!! Now there are many
different soft drinks out there on the market that are giving Coke and Pepsi competion.
7up® has quite a few different sodas out there and of course Coke and Pepsi have both
extended their lines of sodas.If you know which big name company makes your favorite
soda *you can find out by reading the bottle top or side of the bottle*, whether it be 7up,
Coke or Pepsi you can cast your vote here at
ch_zine@hotmail.com and type vote in the subject line *S*. Totals will be in next
weeks issue. |
And The Survey Said...
JudgeDriveway™
Last week I asked for opinions on the issue of where the line should
be drawn in a public chat room (one you do NOT have to be registered to enter) between
public chat and chat meant for PM's. We didn't get as many replies as We'd have expected,
but the ones we did get were appreciated. They were honest and good points were
addressed, the replies were very fruitful. The opinions varied and are all shared here...
Anything else having to do with this topic (the original article or the replies) can be sent in to
ch_zine@hotmail.com and will be posted at a later date *S*.
I think that chat rooms for all ages should be kept free of all talk of
adult material.. that means anything that has to do with sex or naked
twister.. or anything that you would not let your kids be a round.. there is
a place and a time for everything.. I have kids.. don't want my kids talking
to other adults about anything of the sort.. if you want to talk about
things other than G material... should not be in this room... there are many
other rooms. -- Shetiger
I have been involved in these fun *but innocent* games.
I frequent the Cloud 10 Floor and anyone who has ever been there knows that
Cyber is the biggest issue.
I think that if people don't want to see what is going on, they should move to another room. Or put them on ignore.
Very simple. *Our ignore buttons stick*
For those willing to participate in Twister, Wet T-shirt contests, etc...
they usually keep it clean. Just a little ripping of the shirt or tossing of the hair.
In all honesty you cannot get aroused by our fun. (If you do, you can consider
yourself desperate, need to be evaluated, and possibly start therapy). *LMAO*
For those entering the chathouse, that are of *tender ages*. Need to understand or
at least read the rules before entering. Cyber, cursing, and sexual innuendoes do
occur. Parents should view with the children. If the child is *sneaking onto the
computer* then I don't know what to say to the parents.
But? Where to draw the line between public and private? In my opinion, when
someone says, "I expose my br*ast for you to s*ck." Then it should move to pm.
I tried not to get to graphic with my description. Believe me it can get worse!!!!
Things along graphic visuals of the sexual anatomy. What the person would like
to do with those particular parts. THAT should be private. You may be wondering
how I know the details of private messages. Ha! Before the Cloud 10 was
updated it had about 20 rooms, that anybody and everybody could enter.
People in these rooms would say some pretty hard core stuff.
Publically: I think as long as people are *L* then things are cool. A little sitting on
ppl's laps, massages, or rubbing fingers through hair are appropriate. *Innocent fantasies*
In conclusion: I must say that public cybering is fun and games and usually doesn't
present a problem to those not involved. So why is everyone b*tchin?--~blue eyes~ Cloud 10
I'd like to reply to this quickly... while I'm already here *L*. At the end of your reply
you say that "public cybering doesn't usually cause a problem, why is everyone B*tchin?"
But you've answered that question already, the same way I would have. *quoting you*
" when someone says, "I expose my br*ast for you to s*ck." Then it should move to pm.
I tried not to get to graphic with my description. Believe me it can get worse!!!!
Things along graphic visuals of the sexual anatomy. What the person would like
to do with those particular parts. THAT should be private. "
That is the very point we've been trying to make, and because it isn't taken to PM when it
reaches this point, that is why we are b*tchin'. *S*--My reply was not meant to
begin an arguement or to be offensive, it was meant only as a reply *S* My thoughts-- JudgeD~
I think that as soon as it goes past inuendo it should be moved to PM. Not everyone
catches inuendo, who don't catch vividness?? -- Anonymous
I don't feel that anything should HAVE to go PM!!! If people can chat and make inuendo
for ANYONE to read why can't we screw in public?? They're still just reading!! -- Anonymous
I feel that if we are all old enough to use a computer and come online and chat then
we should all be mature enough to be able to differentiate between what's fit for public
viewing and what isn't. If there are chatters in the room who show their immaturity
by not being able to tell when they've crossed that imaginary line and having some kind
of cyber sex in public then the rest of us should be able to address them nicely and ask
them to move it to PM.-- Anonymous
And that's it, all I've recieved at this point. As I said previously, any more replies or opinions on the topic will be posted at a later date. *S* Thank you and please remember I didn't address this topic to make anyone angry or start an arguement, as it actually had already done before it was approached in the zine... I did so here in hopes of saving arguements or confrontations in the Chathouse®™. This issue may seems small, but actually it is one of many that chatters face each time they log on and sign in. --JudgeD~ |
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Submitted by LadyGreenEyes™
I recieved this in my email today...
The Candle
A handsome, middle-aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat
down. Before he ordered, he couldn't help but notice a group of younger men at
the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him,
and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon on the lapel
of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about. The man
brushed off the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks began to get to him. He
looked one of the rude men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon
and asked, quizzically, "This?". With that the men all began to laugh out loud. The
man he addressed said, as he fought back laughter, "Hey, sorry man, but we were
just commenting on how retty your little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!"
The middle aged man calmly motioned for the joker to come over to his table,
and invited him to sit down. As uncomfortable as he was, the guy obliged, not really
sure why. In a soft voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear this ribbon to bring
awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's honor." "Oh, sorry
dude. She died of breast cancer?" "No, she didn't. She's alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as an infant, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy.I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her health." "Umm", the stranger replied,"yeah". "And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife", the middle aged man went on. "And she's okay, too?", the other guy asked. "Oh, yes. She's fine. Her breasts have nurtured and nourished our beautiful daughter 23 years ago. I am grateful for my wife's breasts, and for her health." "Uh huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?" "No. It's too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now. My daughter died of breast cancer one month ago. She thought she was too young to have breast cancer, so when she accidentally noticed a small lump, she ignored it. She thought that since it wasn't painful, it must not be anything to worry about." Shaken and ashamed, the now sober stranger said, "Oh, man, I'm so sorry mister". "So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. Now, go home and talk to your wife and your daughters, your mother and your friends. And here . .." The middle-aged man reached in his pocket and handed the other man a little pink ribbon. The guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, "Can ya help me put it on?" This is breast cancer awareness month. Do regular breast self-exams and have annual mammograms if you are a woman over the age of 40. And encourage those women you love to do the same. Please send this on to anyone you would like to remind of the importance of breast cancer awareness. A CANDLE LOSES NOTHING BY LIGHTING ANOTHER CANDLE.
Please take a ribbon... Use it on your HP or in your emails. -Michie

Chat Etiquette -Fallon | | <
There are certain rules all regs (regulars) have to abide by, if they want to have a friendly, well run room. But what about the new chatters or as most people call them, the newbies. They are not familiar with the basic rules. Therefore, they are most likely not going to be chatted with by the regulars. I find that there are two kinds of newbies. The 'bad' newbies that come in only to have cyber sex and fill your PM's (private messages) with a lot of nonsense. And the 'good' newbies that come in to chat and try to become a reg to the room. Well the cyber sex newbies pretty much give all newbies a bad name. No one wants to chat with the dreaded newbies because of this. Most people think newbies are only good for two reasons. Reason 1: They keep the other dreaded 'chat villains' away. The none's. Everyone hates the none's. (With the exception of those few, that make jokes out of them) Reason 2: The newbies can keep you entertained for the moment. A lot of people think it's funny to pick on the newbies, or tease the newbies, by lying to them or making them believe things that aren't true, just for an extra laugh. But a lot of people fail to realize that newbies have feelings too! Every regular was a newbie to his or her room at one point. So if you're a newbie, that wants a fair chance at becoming a reg...Then it's my suggestion to follow these tips. #1: : Never PM (private message) people without permission first. This is a very helpful tip. A lot of people get so annoyed when newbies PM them. Most likely they're not going to talk to you if you fill their PM with a bunch of messages. So it's best to keep everything public. #2: : Never offend or argue with the regulars. Just don't! No matter what the 'argument is, no matter who's right', you mess with one reg, and the whole room will not like you, for the simple fact that they stick up for their friends. It's all right to have a friendly debate on a subject you disagree with, just don't take it to far, by calling them names, or what not. #3: : Be creative and funny with what you type. No one wants to chat with a newbie that only types in the same question of "anyone care to chat? Where are you from, what are your stats?" Most likely you're not going to get any ones attention with those messages. So try to say something that people will respond to, then once you get their attention you can ask them where they're from and so on. #4: Never 'stalk' the chatters. Just because someone chatted with you one day, doesn't mean you can come in every time acting as though they are your best friend, by expecting them to always chat with you. There's some tips for you newbies. But keep in mind, not everyone and not every room are the same. Maybe these tips only apply to certain rooms and certain people. But from my experiences, they will help you on the right road to become a regular. |
