Hi, Sam!:):):) I'm in 8th grade and I'm a homeschooler. I LOVE Cricket magazine, too.:):):) I also play the guitar, along with the flute and the piano.:):):) I love music, Classical and Country the most!:):):) I'm in a country band with my brother and sister, and I write all of the songs. I really like writing stories, poems, songs, etc.:):):) I like stories about time travel too. I wrote about a book in the Blab about Books section, that all about traveling back in time. It's called The Time Travelers, and it's REALLY good!:):):) Welcome to Cricket Chatterbox!!:):):)

Sorry, I meant to put I'm in 7th grade, not 8th!:):):) Oops!:):):)

This is so much fun welcoming people!!!  Everybuggy should do what Sam and the newer Emily L did, so we can get to know them better.  Anyway, hi, Sam!!!  Welcome to the most fun (yet slightly addictive!!!) site there is.  I play the piano and the recorder and want to learn the flute, but my brother plays the guitar.  He's really good and he records himself and, giggle giggle, sings!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):)  Okay, sorry, it's just a weird thought that my brother actually sings!!!  A year ago, he wouldn't be caught dead humming!!  Sorry, I don't do cross-country.  My town doesn't have a very good cross-country group for people our age. (Trust me, my friends tried it.  It did NOT go well...)  About stuff like global warming, I agree, it is a natural occurrence.  You'll like the thread about global warming in the Down to Earth Section.  I can't remember its name.  Could be "Global Warming", maybe...  The thread doesn't have much action anymore, but it might be interesting to see other people's views.  Want to hear something funny???  Scientists are beginning to warn people that we are going to be entering another ice age in a few years!!!  My dad lived through an "ice age" when he was our age.  It is a cycle, for Pete's sake!!  I wonder who "Pete" is... 

I have more evidence that global warming is a hoax.  Wait just a minute... *runs off to find article*  Here it is: The claims were frantic.  The polar ice caps are disappearing due to global warming.  The North Pole may soon be ice-free.  Without ice to live on, polar bears are disappearing.  The U.S. Congress even passed a law this year to protect "endangered" polar bears.  Reality, however, isn't so frightening.  Sixty years ago, there were about 5,000 polar bears.  Now there are 25,000.  And NASA satellite photos show polar ice growing.  The 2008 Antarctic ice cap is bigger than ever before recorded.  The Arctic ice cap from August 2007 to August 2008 grew at least 10 percent and perhaps as much as 20 percent.

Oh wow!  I used up a lot of space.  Anyway, welcome to the Chatterbox!!!

Hi, Sam, I'm Julia. I'm 12 years old, in seventh grade and homeschooled. I love doggies, animals, chocolate, classical music, and a lot of other things! I think that global warming is a natural occurance, too. I don't  do cross-country but I do soccer and I like running in that!

Hi, Sam! I'm Emily! I actually introduced myself a few minutes ago on the thread called "Yo,..." But for extra information, I have my own secret langauge, agree with Paige above on global warming, and love to write stories. :):):)
