Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
We need YOU
We need YOU to respond to these prompts!
(I need one of those Uncle Sam posters that were put out in the war to encourage people to enlist; except this one would say the above).
LMWAY (Last Month We Asked You), by Majestic Mary:
It's the last full month of school for most people, and we're just trying to get through... What are some ways to stay motivated through the end of the school year?
Location of the Month (organized by Twilight): [To be filled out by you!]
Advice Column, by Princess Juniper:
What is the best way to tell an AE they that they are going up for adoption?
All the prompts are for the coming May edition of the MCU. Responses made after April 29 will not be included as we need time to paste and interject.
You do not need to respond to any or all of these prompts, but we would greatly appreciate it if you would at least respond to one! We all look forward to seeing your responses.

LMWAY: Just remember to stay positive and try to connect with friends if you're feeling down! It's always ok to ask for help when you need it.
Advice column: "It's not you, it's me."
I love this new take on the MCU!

Hi Admin, if you have a moment could you please add a return (the blank line/space that appears when you hit the return button on your keyboard, not sure what the correct name is) in between the "We need YOU" sentence and the parenthesis sentence? I'm hoping it will get rid of the ". . ." like it does for me when I remember to put two returns before I submit a thread. Thank you!
(I went under "MCU Team" when making this thread as I felt like it wasn't really me. Most everything had been done by someone else.)
(April 19, 2021 - 2:32 pm)
It worked; thank you so much, Admin! Hope you have a good day.
Happy to help! :) --admin

LMWAY: Do your work right away, don't procrastinate. This will make it easier, and you're more likely to do a good job on your work if you don't have that many assignments to do at once.
Location of the Month: The garden
Advice Column: "You were a very great AE, <insert AE name>, but with me as your CBer, you were very inactive, and I hardly paid attention to you (or whatever reason you're putting them up for adoption). Don't get me wrong- you were an amazing AE, and I really liked you, but I think you'll do better with another CBer. We'll still get to see each other around, <insert AE name>, and I'll never forget you. (If your AE is a hug sort of person, hug them, and if not, give them some space to think about their feelings)."

LMWAY: Try to do the things you love whenever you can! If you're an author (or author to-be) try writing a new story with a concept that you may not have thought of before. If you're an artist (or artist to-be) come up with a piece illustrating something abstract, or a random image that pops in your mind. So, long story short, try to find ways to challenge yourself in ways that you enjoy!

LMWAY: Keep trucking! Actually, strike that. Sleep. Sleep right after school. Sleep at night like a good human being. Just don’t sleep in school or you’ll be in trouble.
Location of the month: There is a county you’ve probably never heard of called Palau. It’s pretty neat. About three Palaus would fit in my country. Yep.
Advice Column: Slip a note under their door. When they open the note, a suitcase will pop out, which magically packs up all of their stuff. Hide. *NOTICE: IF YOUR ATTEMPT FAILS IT IS NOT MY FAULT*
(April 19, 2021 - 8:34 pm)
Oh I just googled Palau and I now want to go but I can't because of COVID whaaaa *cries in the corner* But yeah it's really cool looking.
My CAPTCHA Virid just said <wreeo>! Wreebo! I think he wants to tell you something! What do you want to say, Virid?
<hiwre *waves*>
Um, well, he says hi, I guess!

Admins, can you edit my comment so that on the location of the month section is says county, not country? I know not where your power ends, XD
Your wish is my command—maybe not always, but in this instance!

LMWAY: Just remember that you have gotten through this year so far, so you can do one or two more months (depending on where you live). Get outside and enjoy the weather. Get some rest. Summer will be here soon!
Location of the Month: Outisde! Wheather you are playing with your friends or hiking at a preserve or flying kites at the park, the great outdoors is open for the season.
Advice:
Step 1: Break it to them. Say, "<AE name here>, I have decided to give you up for adoption."
Step 2: Give your reasons.
-You will have more fun and get more use with another CBer.
- The house is getting a bit crowded.
- ETC (whatever your reason is)
Step 3: Reassure your AE
- We will still visit you.
- I still love you.
Step 4: Hold true. Visit them. Help them settle in. Lots of hugs and cookies!

Location of the Month: Waiting for summer break/counting down the days until summer :D
(April 20, 2021 - 11:10 am)
LMWAY: Try making time every couple of days (or even every day) to do something you look forward to! I find that having something to look forward to (whether that's doing a hobby, facetiming friends, playing a game with family), helps me get through rough days.
(April 20, 2021 - 7:27 pm)
LMWAY: Stay strong! Eat chocolate! Be organized! Aaaand be positive!
Location of the Month: Bored.
(Because there are no major holidays in May...*crying*)
Advice Column: Let it go gently. Or. If you're evil just put them up for adoption and when they're adopted, lock them out of the house.
