On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:36 pm #
Smoky Rose says:whatever you like, Plucky Chick! – I’m thinking, I may drop the Mary from my screen name. You gals continue please to call me anything you like! but….Shannon kinda creeped me out yesterday – talking about stalkers and yucks that may be watching us….. I dunno – am I worrying too much. I was talking about it with my husband this am….. he thought dropping Mary may be over-kill…. what are our thoughts on this? I have decided I might stop calling Little Chick by her real name…. God forbid
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:38 pm #

Smoky Rose says:‘night Funny Chick!
I’ve gotta check my wash – be back in a few.
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:41 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I guess I should say good night too!
Well here it goes….Good night all!!! Talk to ya in the mornin’!
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:44 pm #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:Good night Little Chick! Remember what I said about those bead bugs!
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:44 pm #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Personally, I don’t worry about being stalked myself, but I am teaching my daughters to give out as little info as possible. I am a team manager for a girls soccer team and many have facebook. One player put up her home phone number (you can reverse search for home address) and even though facebook is fairly secure, you never know who is giving out their password etc. We just gotta use common sense and don’t put anything on here that you wouldn’t want published in a newspaper!
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:45 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I will Chicky Cat!
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:46 pm #
Smoky Rose says:oh, Plucky, that is scary.
‘night Little Chick!
On Apr 25, 2009 at 10:49 pm #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I know. I was happy to read in the earlier blogs during the Easter Egg Hunt that Little Chick was being very vague about answering questions. She was very smart about it. Good Job, Little Chick.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:That’s a tough call about the names. When I use someone’s name somehow, I feel more of a personal connection. For some reason I’m not worried about stalkers on this site. If there’s any one who doesn’t want there name used let me know and I’ll stop.
Anita – I read the title a few times for I caught on (it’s early on a Sunday!) Very fun!
On Apr 26, 2009 at 8:53 am #
Smoky Rose says:100% Jeanne, me too! Please call me Mary, Mar, Smoky, whatever you like – I don’t worry one bit about you gals – but I’ve exposed a lot of myself of late – I’m just a tad worried about creeps and icks and losers. Sure, true enough – they’d have to weed thru a lot of pick talk to get to any meat, but…. I don’t know – probably just a phase I’m going thru -
On Apr 26, 2009 at 6:02 pm #
Shannon aka Silly Chick says:Don’t remember saying anything about stalkers, Smoky Rose…Whatever I said, sorry it creeped you…wasn’t intended. Was just following the subject thread.
On Apr 26, 2009 at 6:28 pm #
Smoky Rose says:Hi – no worries. I’m sorry Shannon, could it be it wasn’t you? Most likely a matter that right now, with all I’ve shared of late, that I feel a little exposed. It’s been a week! Not bad creeped out anyway – just feeling a little cautios – please don’t be upset!
On Apr 26, 2009 at 6:31 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Unsure about the names..they do make us feel more connected, but we really should be careful w/anything too recognizable. In the mean timw, Chick names are a good idea too. Someone let me know for sure who I am, please. Now is that an existential question or what?
On Apr 26, 2009 at 6:33 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:I really like the rings, and have some at home– I’m playing with ideas right now.
On Apr 26, 2009 at 6:36 pm #
Smoky Rose says:I’m sorry – I didn’t mean to upset anybody. I do apologize. It’s absurd – I’m Mary, in Philly – there must be 50,000 Marys in Philly – but I shared some dark secrets with you all – I might just feel a little too ‘out there’ right now. Take no offense – it’s none of you – it’s just that the idea of some ick watching us got under my skin. I’m sorry – did not mean to alarm or scare anybody.
Are we all good? Please?
On Apr 26, 2009 at 7:05 pm #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:It’s ok! I’m paranoid about online predators Too! It’s healthy (to an extent!) and keeps you (as well as your computer) safe! That’s the important part!! I’m glad I’ve met and gotten to know all you Chickies! It’s great to have someone to talk to about bead (and life) stuff that wont just roll their eyes and think ‘here she goes again!’! lol
On Apr 26, 2009 at 7:13 pm #
Smoky Rose says:me toooooo, Kitty! much glad! Thanks there! – a ‘whisker bit’ of paranoia is a healthy thing.
…….and you’re right, pages and pages, of ‘oh, love that rhodochrosite, you’re on a roll again, girl’ – only the most profound of icks could weed thru this stuff!
