Social Chatting July 2016

Yeah, I think you are the oldest, although it depends on how you define "active users". :P But I hope that doesn't mean you'll be leaving us soon! :( xP

Hello, anyone here? :)

^Um, okay, now I do feel very old. xP^ I meant people who regularly post, like you and I. :) And nooo, I didn't mean to imply that at all! I don't plan to leave y'all for a while yet. Not that I plan on leaving you at all, but you know what I mean…:P

waves Hi! xD

Lol! ;D I'm just teasing you - we know you don't want to leave. xD

waves back Hello Matthew! xD What's up? :)

Thank you, glad to know that people appreciate me! xD lol ^And I totally don't mind the teasing! x) I like teasing and being teased myself. xP^

We're having family over today for Zachary's birthday party. :)

Haha! I know - teasing is pretty much how I make friends. xP

By the way, I have a purple pencil again. x) ^ _ ^

Oh yay! smiles big =D

Fun! :D How old is he? Tell him I said happy birthday! xD

Me too! Although first I seem to test them out and see how much they can take little by little, 'cause some people don't like being teased. xP

Oh yay! *smiles big* =D

smiles big too XDD

His birthday was over a month ago, actually, but the cousins were out of town… :P He's 10 now.

Haha, yeah. Which is kind of sad… xP

I wish I could know for sure when a letter will be delivered - last time I did one I was late, this time apparently I was early. =P

Oh, okay. How many cousins do you have? :)

Isn't it? XP

Eight (on this side of the family) from two different families, from ages 13 to 5.

Well, usually I think it takes about 4 days for a normal letter to get somewhere, although there are exceptions :) When did you send it?

So are you the oldest grandson and cousin, I guess? :)

I think I sent it on Tuesday? Last time I also sent it on a Tuesday, hoping it would get there Friday (I had forgotten Monday was a holiday) or at least Saturday, but it ended up taking till the next Monday. xP

Okay, then that sounds about right. :D Yeah, one time I sent a letter that needed to get somewhere on a certain date but the it took a week. =P I was sad, lol

Yep! And that's actually true on both sides of the family. My parents are both firstborns, too. :) I'm also the second-oldest great-grandson on my mom's side (with the oldest married and a new mother! :O), but I don't know about my dad's side. :P

Wow, fun! Whaaat, how old is she? :o xD

thinks She turned 21 this spring. I saw her last three years ago - it's pretty weird to think about all the changes that she's gone through since then. xD

Ooh, okay, so she's a little bit older. xD I just think it's so weird how people MY age are courting and getting married…. blinks in disbelief xP

Guess we need to start putting notes on the letters like businesses sometimes do on time-sensitive sale advertisements - "Carrier please deliver on such-and-such date." :P

Wait a minute, on second thought, I think she actually turned 20 not 21. xP So yeah, a little bit. :P But still! I remember in 2008 and again in 2012 at our family reunions, talking with her, her brothers, Courtney, and another cousin who all liked to hang out together about how old we would be at the next reunion. I would be 14 and she would be +16+! That sounded so old to us tweenagers back then! xP
I know, it's getting me too. Each one seems like it's getting closer and closer to my age. I dread the day when it becomes someone younger than me getting engaged. xP

Lol! We should try it sometime. xP

Haha! I know; I've had those kinds of conversations too. And the funny thing is, when you actually got to that age, it really didn't even feel as big as you thought it would. xP
Same here. :-} Ahh; don't want to think about that. xP But I'm older now than my mom was when she got married, so…I guess it does happen. =P

Sorry Rachel, my internet's not been working - I keep typing things to respond and it doesn't actually post. :\

Yeah, no, it doesn't. It's very gradual so you don't really notice it. :P
I know… xP Wow. I'm less than a year away from the age my dad was when he got married too. So yeah, it does happen. :P

I wondered if Memverse or your internet was acting up. =/

Wow, your dad was young! xD Do you mind if I ask how long they had been married before you came along? xD

Close to five years. ^Which is why I probably should have had a big sibling or two…^

I need to go now. Great to talk with you, Rachel! :)

I see! ^well, you have quite a few younger ones… ;)^

Aw, okay. Bye Matthew! Great to talk with you too! =)

This is not right. Only three people so far have posted on SC today - and one only did one post.

isn't here

Make that four people! xD
Goodnight, peoples! vanishes

Guuyyyyyyysssss. How can you do this to us! :( xP

Who, me? xD

Hey, what'd I do? xP

Both of you! Y'all aren't talking! :P

In reply to Marija

But I've been studying! xP

I'm quite jealous! Lol

Right now, I'm composing an email to our local Bible Bee families about the t-shirts. xD

Yes, I heard we finally got information about those! Do you know what they look like yet?

Yes, I do! :)

Neat, thanks! Doesn't look like they're age division specific this year. Why is BB doing away with all our traditions?? :(

I know, that's sad. :( I don't know…sorry. xP

Yea. :/ Oh well…I suppose…xP

If I knew, I'd tell ya! :( xP

I know. yawns I can't think tonight. :P

says hello for a minute

Emilyyy! Yay! xD How is you? xD
