Hi, Everybuggy, and

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

 Hi, Everybuggy, and

 
Hi, Everybuggy, and Pussywillow,

I have been receiving your amazing magazine for a year! I adore reading and believe it is a way for the imagination to thrive and grow. I love to bike, swim, sing, read, of course, and hike, though I don't get to do it that much here in Florida! I love to read your "Letterbox" and listen to everyone's questions and suggestions. I don't believe in evolution, I think it's all made up, but I can't judge you for your beliefs. Also, what is with all of this Global Warming? Whenever it becomes 5 degrees warmer, everyone is yelling "Global Warming!" and when it becomes 5 degrees cooler then they yell "Global Cooling!". If you ask me it's just the way of nature and God how the temperatures change, and it's for the good of mankind. We are not going to become ice blocks or dried up twigs. As an answer to Jasmine A. (January 2009): I am a Type 1 Diabetic, too. I know what you mean by it makes you sad and happy: it's sad because others are going through it, too, and happy because you are definetely not alone! I was diagnosed when I was 9 and I  have had it only for two and a half years, which means I'm 12. I am kind of scared of the pump! Also, the youngest brother of the Jonas Brothers has Type 1, too. I love fantasy books and I love Avi's especially! Ladybug, you are totally my favorite; you are one strong bug! Don't let Cricket pull you down! Once again, Cricket, you're one great kids' magazine, and keep up the great work!

ANOTHER FLORIDIAN! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hem, sorry about that. Welcome to Chatterbox, Marlana! I totally agree about reading and Letterbox. That's strange, I like to do all the things you like to do! Well, almost all of them. I've never been hiking before, though I want to. Is it fun?

Like my friend Allison said, ANOTHER FLORIDIAN! YES!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D  I'm originally from the Sunshine State (err, well, this week it wasn't soo sunny....), and I just got back today from a trip there, that I think I'll make thread about!  Bye!  Oh, and welcome! :D 

Oh!  And, I completely agree with you about global warming.  God is in control! :D

I'm not diabetic, but when I was ten, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.  It makes me feel a little better to know that not everybuggy has completely perfect health like my "friends" do. :)
