Hi there folks…. Looks like it’s Hillary in Indiana, and Obama in N. Carolina….

DRAGON RIDER Nice to see you surived your first full day.

Yep. And to those who asked much earlier today, I am a HUGE Eragon fan.

flowers,sunglasses and one mean looking Tiger. Figured out how to clear my cache!!

Hello Everybody I am watching American Idol, I ran away for a minute the 17 year old David Archuletta just brought the house down, with the sond Stand By Me, I truly do believe he will be the next American Idol!!!!!!!!!

WOW, I am in such a rush, that I left my avatar behind!!!!!!!

Hi MYSTIC WILLOW,Now I know why it is so quiet around here.

Hello Ironsos, & Hufflebug, I am so excited posting that I forgot my own email address, I have two of them, but I got my home one wrong in the two post before this one!!!!

Ooops, Hello there Dragon Rider, I did not mean to leave you out!!!!!


Well everybody Jason messed up his versus pretty badly, and I think simon is wright, I will not be supprised at all if this is Jason’s last week on American Idol, you can’t do that when you are in the top 4 finalist!!!!

Won_TWO What causes that hourglass to keep me waiting every time I hit f5?

Hello Won_Two, Well tonight on American Idol the theme was Early Rock & Roll Songs, and Simon said David you didn’t just have the best vocals over all tonight, you CRUSHED THEM!!!! David sang Stand by Me and Love Me Tender!!!! HE BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL I HAVE SOME VOTING TO DO SO I WILL SEE EVERYBODY A LITTLE LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Idol-wise, David is showing a lot of promise and I will not be surprised if he makes it to the finals.
Hello Won_Two

Hey all, back from ice cream but now engrossed in Dancing with the Stars. . . woot Apollo!
I mean, I am engrossed in work!!!!! ;)
Good to see you again Dragon Rider! There will be more parties, for sure. That one was so very random, but that’s the charm of our castle! :)
Ironsos glad to hear about the good checkup. Here’s an extra cushiony bar stool for ya.

Hi folks, sorry for the delay but I am in the other room watching Iron Man…. As far as f5 goes, it all depends on how full your cache is when you dump it… if it happenes when the cache is empty you need to try a different way of refreshing… What browser are you using?

Commercial break!
Mistic nice to hear your assessment of AI. Alas, I missed the Davids’ performances. Oh well. The ice cream and company were worth it. ;)
ES Maks hasn’t danced yet, and there’s only 40 min left. I don’t know if he danced in the first hour (replays of the judges’ 10 fave dances) though. I’ll try to post when they announce him. :) But your broacast just began so I don’t think you’ll miss him. :)

Won_Two how are you watching Iron Man tonight at home? I thought it was only in theaters right now? Or is there a TV show?

WON_TWO,Usuing i.e.,also have firefox.
HUFFLEBUG Thanks, everything cameout just fine. Wait a minute,that doesn’t sound right.

Oh please not Marissa, not Marissa!!!!!
sending positive Marissa thoughts to Hollywood!!!!!

If you are using latest IE you should hit Ctrl and F5 at the same time….




I’ve already watched Iron Man, thought it was great. My friend loved it.

So ES that means Maks and Mel will dance at 8:35pm your time (SLC time). . . I hope you catch it, they were great!!! :D (assuming that they simply rebroadcast whatever happens live right now, which I would assume they do).
I also love the music. :)



I did indeed Ironsos!! :D
Boy do we have the telepathy thing down!
Either that or my legilimens is super stealthy. :)

HUFFLEBUG If your legilimens is stealthy I am going to be in a lot of trouble around here!!!

MM they’re singing your song!!!
I will survive!!!

LOL Ironsos but surely that will only help us Hufflepuffers. . . :) though mine really isn’t stealthy. . . siiiiiiiiigh


Hi ES!! But are you seeing it now? I’m confooooosed. . . I thought that the results show was just starting for you there!!


Well I got 200 votes in for David Archuletta, the 17 year old. I am off now to here the weather for tomorrow, and a nice Siesta, I hope!!! 5am comes aroung early!!! GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bbt

Hello, Zimba. I still think you’re a pretty kitty, no matter what name you use. ;)
Hello, rveryone. I’m off to look for the welcom letter. ;)

Thanks E.S., fully recovered thanks.I love Munchies, but the first time I saw him I Jumped and Birdy yelped and ran!!!



To anyone who is new to our little group, Welcome! ;)
Since our ages range from around 12 to around 69, not all of us (myself included) really understand IM shorthand. You can consider this a chance to use your big “dress up” vocabulary.
Most of us are female, but we do welcome and cherish our male friends. We come from pretty much all backgrounds and economic situations. Most are or were married and have children. Most of the adults have some college or university education, but it is not required to follow the discusions.
All of our regulars have caused me, at least, to stop and think of some aspect of the Potterverse a bit differently by their own analysis or opinion.
We do not suffer Trolls lightly and most will go to any lengths to get them banned.
Any honest opinion or question will be given serious treatment.
If you have been back-reading you are mostly aware of these things and that Melissa and the elfs give us a lot of latitude in not forcing us to stay on topic.
Of course, if they did force us to stay on topic, the Poll Comments wouldn’t ever be over 2 pages long.
Of course, as has been said, our biggest rule is that we can agree to disagree. These rules, guidelines, standards of behaviour or whatever you want to call them, are just what we have worked out over time and are not “official”.
The only “official” rule is that we stick to Leakys general PG13 appropriate content. ;)
Welcome all! ;)



Ironsos Hmm, I don’t see a red x in a box. Is it where the avatars are supposed to be? I still see them, though sometimes gravatar/Leaky gets weird about displaying them. I would try ctrl-F5 again.

I think it happens when you put too many exclamations marks

Too many exclamation marks?
There’s no such thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though you bring up a good point. I have seen the little red X when I mix in ! and ?’s and the computer gets confused.
Though it really shouldn’t. Don’t I use ! and ? perfectly reasonably??!
