   I've been watching the fireworks in the forums and it's made me lonely because I didn't want to join in on those discussions.
   
   Anyone around wanting a friendly chat?
   
   How's October treating you? Has Christmas started for your hubs?

   skyfire - straight down to business . My Amazon is great this month but still no toys so might just be natural growth rather than the Christmas rush.
   
   Hello there DoorMattnomore - what do people abbreviate your name to? Or don;t they? It just seems way too wrong to call you Door - or Doormat.
   Test went fine, thanks for asking. It was really not fun as I have to wear a restraint round my neck and my head was in a sort of cage thing to keep it totally still. Won't get results for about a month, but I am getting more confident it will be nothing to worry about. I'm feeling spiritual at the moment and well looked after.

   Hey Spacey, I would like to let you know, that I reported your thread, so as to move it to the Hubber's Hangout forum thread.
   
   General chat shouldn't be located in HubPages Knowledge Exchange, unless you're specifically asking a question about that.
   
   Don't be upset and don't start another thread on the same topic somewhere else, because HubPage Staff will move the thread.
   
   It's nice to see you out and about the forums.

      Out of curiousity, what role does the topic play? Is it just a matter of orginization within the site, or does it have something to do with search engines?

         The HubPages forums, many of them are listed on the search engines. Generalized chat and the "sandpit" are not that I know of.
         
         By not categorizing forum topics properly, it clutters the search engines with junk. The forums themselves have a PR4 or PR5, which is higher than most hubs.
         
         These topics should be on topic. Things not related only hurt HubPages' overall rank. So, in essence, I would think it hurts HubPages.

          I had my finial meeting with the council and they decided to give me a warning and give me a new location for my job so I am still the lollipop lady
          I will start back up after the half term holiday at the end of the month so I am trying to kit my store out as much as I can before then, maybe afterwards I will re-focus on my hubs and increase my earnings here too

We have a large number of polish people in our city and they eat the river fish (perch) as a bit of a delicacy, which upsets the indigenous fishermen!

       A ditty is a misunderstood thing
       You take a few words which you then just fling
       Onto page or screen in a random way
       Aiming to preserve what you have to say
       The result's a ditty, as you can see
       Just wordy old nonsense that pleases me!

    Interesting statements with regard to me.
    
    Well then, by all means, don't bother reading things or understanding how things work. Stay gullible and uninformed.
    
    Good bye!

    I can talk under concrete,
    My mouth never stops,
    It starts in the morning,
    With my bowl of Rice Pops.
    
    I have tried to be quiet,
    But my lips start to move,
    The words just keep rolling,
    As I get in the groove.
    
    It is worse in the shower,
    As my voice starts to sing,
    My neighbor Hugh Jass,
    He hears everything.
    
    To the end I will chatter,
    In the grave where I'll lie,
    For I can't stop my waffling,
    It's what gets me by.
    
    You may say I am crazy,
    And you may not be wrong,
    But as my heart bubbles over,
    As the words come along.

    I had three fox on Christmas day
    relaxed and lovely they chatted away
    we imbibed
    the day drove us on
    
    singing we met the night
    with,
    
    
    with.
    
    
    song!
    
    and then in the light of a big orange moon
    we designed to meet another year
    same place
    same day
    
    and then the three foxes went on
    their merry way!
    
    but I had to stay
    so that is why I'm here today
    
    No doubt you jest
    and wonder why I speak of foxes
    moons, Christmas and
    other cheapness
    when I should be making sure you
    are playing by the rules
    and chastising you for repetititive posts!
    
    No doubt you wonder
    if I have lost it!
    
    well.
    
    yes!

       Oh you sweet little thing,
       How much I love thee,
       Gee you Megs and me,
       Would make great company.
       
       We'd sail away on my jet ski,
       And travel the seas,
       And float in our life jackets,
       When we crashed into trees.
       
       We'd liven the town,
       Up with our vigor and zest,
       As my buddy Hugh Jackman,
       Takes us out West.

    How rude of me to start a chat thread then disappear. A friend came by for a real chat, and we didnt stop chatting until after midnight.
    
    Anyway - since this thread is up tp 5 pages, I guess you had fun without me.

       You could come hang out in the chatroom listed on my profile page sometime. I've been trying to get it going, even if it's just so newbies have somewhere to get fast answers if needed.
