The Secret Life
The Secret Life of Admins
This is where we ask the Admins random questions (example: what is your favriote book) and hope they answer.
Well, I can answer that question, sort of. I love many great books. It's not really fair to compare them and name one favorite. Each may be a favorite for a different reason: content, adventure, language, style, etc. But if I HAD to name one favorite, I would say "Remembrance Rock" by Carl Sandburg. It's a masterpiece, and the only novel he ever wrote! I could go on, but there are many other comments waiting to be reviewed and posted.

Good idea! I don't have any questions for them, at least now, though.
When I clicked, I thought you were gonna post about the Secret Life of Pets. XD
Anyway, @EVERYONE, should I change my name to Darth Daisy? I think it's hilarious.
Would Darth Kitty be mad at me? She doesn't come on much anymore.

Admins, are a handful of you assigned to a different section of the CB? For example, 6 of you are only to respond to comments on CaC, ect.
No. We each post whatever comes in to any section at our certain time of day.

I don't have any questions at the moment, but Daisy, Darth Daisy is a great name! I don't think Darth Kitty would be mad at you-- she hasn't been on in a while. I couldn't see her getting mad at anyone anyway!

Oooh, I have one! How and when did you become an admin?
I was already working at Cricket magazine when Chatterbox first began.

Wait, does each admin have a different font they use? I thought you all used italics, but in the post above the admin used regular, non-italics.
No. Sometimes I post comments via a portable device, upon which italics are more difficult to use, so I skip them. But on my regular computer, I do use them.

Do you have a Question for Me to post?
(October 30, 2016 - 6:02 pm)
Around what times each day do you guys post? Obviously it would be really annoying to write out the whole schedule, so I'm just wondering about Sundays. (I like to be on cricket before church XD)
There's no set schedule. We're all busy with many things and just post comments whenever we can. Before church? It depends upon what time I wake up, which depends upon what I did the night before.

Admins, will you tell the Blue Moon ice cream story again, please? I've forgotten what the connection between you and Blue Moon ice cream is.
Someone on CB (from Michigan, I think) mentioned it. I'd seen it in Wisconsin but (being a chocoholic) had never tried it. When I looked online to try to find what flavor it is, it mentioned a variety of fruit flavors (pineapple, raspberry, and others?) and said that it was only available in Michigan and Wisconsin (and disagreements about which had it first). Then one day, I found it in our local supermarket in Illinois! So I bought a half gallon and tried it. It is very fruity tasting.
A week later we had a neighborhood block party. It was a Halloween party in late October 2015, so it got dark early. When it was time for dessert I dashed home to get the Blue Moon ice cream, which seemed very fitting for a Halloween dessert. After I put it on the buffet table, I started to hurry across the yard to tell some friends that I'd just put it out and to come get some before it was all gone. And in my haste in the dark yard, not looking at the ground, I tripped on a beanbag toss game and fell, breaking my right wrist and gashing my leg.
I had to wear a brace/cast for six weeks. Fortunately it was OK to remove for bathing.
That's the whole story. Probably more details than I've told before. Now my favorite ice cream treat has become capuccino-flavored gelato. And I'm very careful to watch where I am going and use a flashlight if necessary!

Thanks, Admin!
I wonder why or whether blue moon ice cream is blue.
Yes,it is blue , likely from food coloring and to go with the name .
