HubTub - this is for you
Froggy, you're really a wonderful person (and a great hubber). Thanks for bringing this to the forum's attention. I'm a non-native English speaker and writing in English takes an extra effort from us. The support you and the other hubbers give is what really makes us write hubs and go on writing.
Just for you, I'll stop eating frog's legs
Hey EK, may I borrow your sword (or whatever you call that mean little thing on Xena's hand)? Just want to sling it to HT to get her down from her high horse
. She just might be so stuck in there, she can't get down on her own.Awww Em your such a thoughtful darn friend! yea lets hijack the horse an enter it in a Derby
whats a good name for the horse
Hubb'n Horatio or
Morse Of Course (screw the grammar gama)
Rub a dub dub

Ok I need coffee me thinks
I second that! welcome aboard

0I disagree. I don't want any writers. I want decent people.
don't let that woman give writers a bad name. she is NOT a writer - she is a medical transcriber. no way on God's Green Earth are they even closely related.Come on ladies, I am old enough to know writers are humans
LOL Charlie, thank you. It was courtesy of Dayzeebee.

Thankyou guys. I was honestly upest to find Keira7's message. Poor bugger
Keira7, please come aboard. We will be most delighted to have you participate with us on HP. As you write more and more you will get better and better. Believe me. And there is always a helping hand round the corner. Absolutely nobody can intimidate you. Just believe that. Welcome.
I am joining your fan club- wordscribe41posted 14 years ago0
It certainly is important, and respected.
p.s. a cockroach runs rings around... should I finish that, nah, maybe, hmmmmm, three days ain't so long.
Welcome keira7, we might tell you that your God doesn't exist, or that you're going to burn in hell for not believing, but that aside, we're a pretty decent bunch, I look forward to seeing you around.- Some good statements...for sure! Amazing what can transpire to scare people off!!
I welcome keira7 as well!
I just read the thread you're talking about - egads!
I'll refrain from saying anything else other than welcome, keira7!
...and to Misha:, my wise friend.
It also seems relevant to note that when one writes fiction, often grammatical errors and slang terms are included deliberately for a variety of reasons. This is not to mention the fact that we're talking about the forums for crying out loud! But, I digress. I wasn't going to say anything, sheesh!
<snipped my own sarcastic remark>I'm on board just became a fan of keria! And yes I'm decent.
As in, "I'm clothed" or as in, "I'm a nice person"?
Sorry, feeling silly.- Well, I've changed into my pirate clothes now and am drinking some kind of rummy concoction so who knows..?
That's a little bit more than we needed to know....but thanks for your input!
So sad for this fellow... His comment is hilarious and I will visit his hubs...
So funny...Yeah
I just finished a royal huge meal and was resting Was so nice. Wish you were there
Great Work, FrogD!
To Keira and anybody else who may have lost confidence because of the vicious nature of that attack - whilst there was one σκύλα on there causing trouble, there was also a horde of Hubbers leaping to the defence of one of our own.
Don't be afraid to post - HotTub is not a typical HubberI so need to know what that means, lol, but I'm guessing it's not family friendly.
Oops my Greek knowledge was dismal. Still is.
It is just a female canine, you know the wordlol, brilliant, I've been sat here trying to figure out where the shark came into it, lol. female canine I get.
p.s. your Greek knowledge beats mine any day of the week, shark or no shark.
Hope that there is room for one more in Maddie's 3 day sin-bin

сука (suka)
With the same connotation
I wonder if it is the same say in Chinese?I've seen that
After you and PG
Glad you like it...
Got that, Misha - I can just about read Russian - the two alphabets are very similar
This is becoming the x-rated version of Jyoti's foreign word thread
Just for you, Mr Voodoo - I met an English lady over here, called Phillipa, and she could not understand why the Greeks kept pissing themselves laughing when she asked them to call her Pippa.
In Greece, a 'pip' is the slang term for....ahem....receiving oral gratification.
A pipper is a woman who performs the said act.
I didn't laugh when I told her...Honest@Frogdropping ~ I greatly appreciate your bringing this incident out into the open. I can understand completely how easily it is to turn a potential hubber leery of having faith in this site!
It is wonderful to see your caring and thoughtfulness...also happy to see that keira7 is now staying. I had no idea about the internet world of social/writing networks when I arrived here, after seeing beyond a few scares myself am grateful I have stayed. There is so much inspiration and support here for one to grow and season into writing..
Welcome keira7! and thank you FD!She did that thing where you completely ignore the points that anybody makes and insist that you are right. Sometimes, it is easier to admit that you made a mistake and back down - I am a rock-headed northerner, but even we are not that stubborn
Eating too much fruitcake is not good for youLOL
Sufi I was really taking what you wrote seriously except for the last part. There are times I want to have an editor but if she's going to be my editor, bbbrrrrrr, never mind .That does not bear thinking about - it would be like school all over again.
Anyway, Ryan is back so I must go and dish out some abuse
Yeah but somehow they still managed to let the fruitcake get the last word again. What is it with HP and their pro-loony stance, I'm seriously starting to entertain the idea that these are all Maddie and Paul's sock puppets, and like hub Gods they sit in their office and toy with us.
Mrvoodoo - morning (sarcasm. morning for you hehe) and yes, closed reply to reply on "HT" duly noted.
I knew someone once that was incredibly supercilious and self-important.
I don't know them nowf
Don't worry about HP's impeccable timing. I rather like the last word 'over there'. Further proof of the definition of 'supercilious'.Good for you frogs ,awesome yer such a welcoming and hospitable froggy.
Some people sadly are just plain rude and got their head up dere bumsLOL that's quite an image o warrior princess
. PS want some sashimi? Psst Emi ,whats the best fish to use , I love salmon but reckon you be more expert ,could ya write a hub about it maybe , yes you will ..yeaaaaa
Actually I have a hub about sashimi.
but personally, I loveeeee salmon (or shake) sashimi. Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm 
oops sorry ,put my foot in it there
,im off to bookmark for my shopping list ..oh well pork n noodles instead for now.- hey no harm done. Gave me a chance to promote a hub for free LOL. I think Misha has a hub about sushi, if you also love those. Me, I love them both. But unfortunately the nearest japanese restaurant is like four hours away! *sigh* have to content myself with pictures.
Eagle
I was actually horrified when I read keira7's comment. I know how much power words can carry and when the original thread was going on, I was actually wondering what others (like kiera) may be thinking.
I have to use portuguese almost everyday and I suck at it - yet I have to try. More than once I've been met with disdain from native portuguese speakers. It's awful. You feel so embarrassed and belittled.
And I don't lack confidence as such, but it still bites a bit deep. I honestly wish HP would simply remove the whole thread, to prevent others from reading it. We have a habit of focusing on the bad. Many that may read that will focus on one hubbers attitude, rather than the dozens that went and kicked ass.
And that attitude, the one that stands out - is the one that will be noted.Hey froggy, I can relate with the portuguese part. It sucks when you try so hard to speak the local language just to have them point out that you still sound foreign or worse hear them correct you then laugh at you
.
In fairness, HP is more tolerant when it comes to wrong grammar or misspellings. I'm writing on one academic site and although it is still expected that you write well, the comments I read can be sometimes brutal.
If HP will not remove that thread, then let's bury it to the 30th page of this forum (if there's such a page) so that no one can find it.
I will certainly take a look - Nice work with the encouragement
FD - I hope that the French cuisine does not include recipes for frogs legs
I hope keira publishes something soon. I'm sure he will. He is french I believe. Perhaps he can share some great french cuisine with us
*rubs belly*I don't think he'll mind. He calls me mister all the time and I'm a missus
lol tis I. And thankyou
lol I have a prince. Though I rather think he's 'meu sargento' than my prince
Well keira7 emailed me, to thank all of us for changing his mind about HubPages. When he returns home from a business trip he will try to write his first hub. I look forward to his first one
This is lovely Frogdropping. It's nice of you to encourage him back to HP. Nice one.
lol we encouraged him back. There's no 'frog' in team. Or is that 'I' ...
He is a great person it seems. And im so glad you started this forum of encouragement FD. He sent me an email too to thank us all and i'm sure he must have taken the pains to send to so many other hubbers. Thumbs up FD. You are a good example of a fine hubber.
I am asking myself the same question
lol I'm ready for my bed. I will put a real picture up I guess. Then back to my green and usual self.
And nice one viryabo - me too
Omg you are drop dead gorgeous!!! !!!the boys are gonna fall all over themselves
Sleep well my friend.
Psst leave it upHey princess froggy, that's a very beautiful avatar
.It will have to do emie. I have no other me's. Despite what some may think. I am Only One
lol Pacal thankyou
I was trying to make it less fuzzy. I've almost succeeded. I'll swap it - though it's most likely hardly noticable.It's pretty the way it is. I'm so glad I didn't miss this.
Thank you.
lol but I am very fond of my frog. Maybe I can put the two together. Miracles can happen
me too
. I love that pic where your frog is wearing sunglasses. That was reallllyyyyy cool .A new hub BC? Looking forward to it
. Sorry kinda slow in my pick-up today. Just had a late night taking care of my niece (who's having a fever). She's the one in my avatar .

TY wren. I'm good with what I did. I'd rather help than abuse. Forget it. It's not worth answering or reading. Have a good one - which I'll assume will involve some writing
Use Doncha Think, it looks better
lol you and grammar BC
Ohhhh..doncha charge for yer words, moi friend!
I never charge for putting things into someones mouth, do you
Nahhh, one could only hope for an equal exchange...
