Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
This is a
This is a feel-good-make-other-people-happy thread.
Basically, the idea is that you write one thing you are proud of yourself for (chatterbox related or not), and give someone else a compliment (probably chatterbox related). The thing is, you have to choose a person who hasn't already been complimented, so that everybuggy has something nice said about them eventually! (e.i., so that 14 different people don't compliment TNÖ:P)
Oh, and you can't just compliment yourself without giving another person a compliment. Or vice-verse. And the person you pick doesn't have to be someone you know well, just someone who you can say something nice about.
So here's mine:
I am proud of myself for being on the Chatterbox since it opened (I remember when there were two threads on Down to Earth!) and, hmmm... I want to compliment Grace for always having great ideas, like SI and book clubs.

Don't worry, I'm not going to do any more people in particular, but I'd also like compliment all of my friends who have comforted me when I was sad, given advice when I needed it, and prayed for me when things were going on (Mrs. P., B.B., piano recitals, etc.). So thanks! :) And I'd also like (*growls*) to compliment (if I can...) the eight-year-olds who told me (or more like commanded me) not to hate eight-year-olds, and I would like to say that I have followed their advice and have not made any more enemies! :):):) Haha, just kidding ya! :):) Annnnd, I'd also like to comple\iment all of the Admin, because of all they do for us, from just posting our comments, to also giving us advice and tips when we need them. Thanks! :):)
You're very welcome, Paige. We love hearing from all of you. And we're proud of how you advise and help each other, too!

Haha, well, I take that back about not making any more eight-year-old enemies... :) I helped out with VBS at my church last week, and two of my friends and I each got our own group; I got 3rd and 4th grade (*dramatic music*). The first two days were fine, but on Wednesday, while we were waiting to go into the Bible room (the other group was still in there), all of the kids found a stack of bean bags, that they decided to hurl at me. I must say that I lost that war... :( But the next day was water day, so I stayed inside, just to be safe. :) And then on Friday, they were pretty well behaved, until, after the last day performance thing, they decided to kill me. They chased me through the entire church... Fortunately, I found a closet that nobuggy knew about, and I hid there. :):)

Wow :\ Those are evil little ankle-biters...

Haha, I know... :):) And now, I have to see them nearly every week at church!!! AHH!!! :D

I'm using this basic idea on another site I'm on, because it's really good! Is that okay with you, Willa?

i would like to complimaent myself for um... hu, not lying once this year and being really honest. I would like to compliment Mary W. for debating really well and sticking up for what she believes in.
Okay, sorry if I complimented Mary W. and someone else had already; I haven't read the thread yet.

That's fine, Lena!! :)
And those of you who want to compliment lots of people, go ahead! There aren't a lot of problems (so far) with people all complimenting the same person.

Thanks! If it was okay I'd give you a link to the place it was mentioned on, but I understand why I'm not allowed.
