           For my editoral this week i want to talk about chat, and how we can all fall in love over a computer but how we can also feel pain and behind every monitor there is someone who has the ability to cry  laugh and hurt. Its not just onesided. I've watched alot of things in chat be said and watched the party's who were involved be crushed. We do this outside of chat too when we hurt we want others to hurt just as bad as we are , but my question is does it help? Do you feel better in the end knowing you've just inflicted pain on someone that at one point you called that person a friend? Or if you fell in love with that person does it make it right? Or who gets the last jab in or the last painful words? All i ask is that my Roomies take a look and remember there is someone else on the otherside of that monitor who can feel pain . Not much of T's ramblings this week lol sorry.

Gizmo's thoughts. . .

   O.k. that is right football fans and addicts, football is right around the corner. To celebrate the BEST sport on earth, the tiki started it's 1st annunal Tiki fantisy football league. To all those tikiers that thought I was full of it guess what, you missed out. I think we ended up with 5 or 7 tikiers in the league, pretty good for a 1st year deal. Giz will be giving you the low down on who I crushed during the week as I am sure a few other tikiers will too. I will be giving out a list of the tikiers in the league soon so you all can LOL @ them when I wipe there puny lil fantisy teams out of cyberville.
   What else is going on in the world of Giz. Well for those of you who have been whondering where Peaches is, she should be coming back on real soon. Giz will save all that low down for peach to tell ya, grinns.
   That is bout it for this week. Was kinda busy getting the football league up and going. But before I go. . .
 

TIKIER_OF_THE_NEW_MILLENIUM_GIZ

   If your are reading this then let me tell you. More than likely you have seen this chatter in the tiki more than one time and I personaly know of several times that this great chatter has lightened my life in many ways. I know one thing, If I could I would nominate him and VOTE for him for chatter of the week. But as a "just ok" catter I feel I can't bring myself up to the task. I mean it takes a specail kind of chatter not only to nominate but also to VOTE!!! for TIKIER_OF_THE_NEW_MILLENIUM_GIZ and I just feel ike I don't have that "super chatter" quality needed. Do you?

   Till next week.

Well I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write about this week...so much
has happened and yet I can't seem to get my brain around any one item. I
guess the one that is in the front of my mind the most is that I don't
understand how someone can call you a friend, how you can be there for them
time after time and listen to them cry, sometimes you even cry with them and
then when push comes to shove and you need them to be there for you they
turn their back. Or better yet, you think things are going smoothly and then
the next thing you know someone has decided that your back strongly resemble
the knife block on the kitchen cabinet and there fore slams a knife in your
back, between your shoulder blades, right up to the hilt. Why is that?
I have always thought that friends were like rare gemstones...one of the
most precious items in the world and a thing to be handled with great care
and to be treasured and cherished.
Maybe I am alone in this way of thinking...I don't know. But I do know that
over the last weeks all the knives that were in the kitchen at the tiki have
disappeared and there are a number of us walking around with them in our
backs.
Fortunately, I have friends that I know I can rely on and ones that I know
are not going to stab me in the back.  But still....I wonder... why does it
happen in the first place. Is your life so pathetic and miserable that you
have to make everyone else's life the same.
Well here's a solution of sorts for it....next time you open your mouth to
participate in the game of he said she said follow these rules..

1. If you didn't hear it...don't say it.
2. If it's not true, don't repeat it
3. And if you don't know, don't talk.

And oh yeah, this one too...this one is the most important... if it's not
any of your business keep your damn nose out of it.
People have enough problems dealing with each other without you adding to
it.
 

    Hugging Is
Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures
  depression, reduces stress and induces sleep. It's
  invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects.
Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.
       Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no
artificial ingredients, non-polluting, environmentally friendly and 100
percent wholesome.
       Hugging is the ideal gift. Great for any occasion, fun to give
and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of
course, fully returnable.
Hugging is practically perfect. No batteries to wear out,
inflation-proof, non-fattening, no monthly payments, theft-proof and
nontaxable.    Hugging is an underutilized resource with magical
  powers. When we open our hearts and arms we encourage others to do
the same.
Think of the people in your life. Are there any words you'd like to
say? Are there any hugs you want to share? Are you waiting and hoping
someone else will ask first?
 Please don't wait! Initiate!

note:  hugs are the most essential part of your day..they help you
function in a non-functioning world. Even though we cant actually hug
one another here, the thought behind those three little letters speaks
volumes to anothers soul. So the next time you see the need in someone,
take the time to type it out, so simple and small a word, yet so
powerful in its meaning conveyed to someone you care for.

H-U-G       to you all :o) Blondie
