Who lives where

[Abettyboopster]

Every day I see a new person on this site. I think this site is the best thing that is on the internet now. So where's everyone from?? I'm in Hudson Florida. Nice to meet all of you Betty Boop fans.

[Labetta]

Hey, there,

I live in Mount Vernon, New York, where it's snowing again...lol.

I read your post under "Totally digging the site" and I'm going to post on there, with part of it towards you...check it out.
talk to you soon....

[Netta]

Hey, I'm from Temple Hills, Maryland, where it keeps snowing here too. LOL. :D

[Shoelace]

Hello All!! :D

I'm a new member from Melbourne, Australia, where it is hot, and sunny, and there is no snow in sight! ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

I live in Paulden, Arizona... surrounded by cattle ranches and open range. It's like living out in the "wild, wild west"! We're about 150 miles north of Phoenix and 50 miles south of the Grand Canyon. Just goes to show you don't have to be a city slicker to love Betty Boop!

Now I'm really jealous!!! After looking at the photo of the horses, I'm ready to pack up and leave NY!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don't be jealous... there are a lot of advantages to living in a big city like New York! We don't have the great ammenities you have... like wonderful plays and operas and theater.. not to mention the restaurants, etc.

I believe there is something unique about every town and city in the United States... the most important of which is that we are all Americans living in a wonderful country.

I did see that one of the Forum members is from Australia... now that's pretty neat isn't it?

[coffeesonme]

;) Howdy Howdy. I'm from Portland Oregon. Spring flowers are coming up, yipppppeeeeeee! Gotta love Betty!:)

[Netta]

Wow. Now I'm getting jealous of coffeesonme. I wish there were spring flowers starting to bloom here in Maryland. Instead we're being snowed in for about the 5th time this winter.

[coffeesonme]

Hey Netta! You know the sunshine means hard work, right? Hey I can handle hot coco and scrunch down socks and a good movie and let it snow, for a few more weeks.;) Be good!

[tvelazco]

Hola a todos! I'm from Puerto Rico, living in the deep south for 1 1/2 years now; a beautiful town called Fairhope, Alabama where I have the beach or the country. I'm new here, and also not familiar with all the Betty cartoons yet, the only Betty Boop I have is the Nurse, like me. ;)

[JennyBoop]

:eek: :eek: Wow there are fan's all over the world, that is SOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOL. I am from Belleville, Illinois just across the river from St. Louis Missouri. It is nice and chilly here, I can't wait untill spring.

[coffeesonme]

;) Now wouldn't that be cute? I've seen the Nurse Betty Boop. I'm a Medical Assistant, kind of like a Nurses little sister:) Not to offened any other MA's out there, just speaking bout me. My flower beds are green with Iris, Daffodils, Paperwhites and Day Liles. They have buds on them soon to burst open. My Camehila (?) bush has huge buds, as well as the Rhodindruns(?). When things get started one almost has to stand over the flower beds to knock the weeds heads off! Only thing is, someone forgot to imform the birds that, "Hey it ain't spring yet" Like that cartoon where the guy screams "Quite!!!!!!!!!!!, :eek: Thank you:) . Come on Sunshine for those of you that don't have it yet. :D

[Netta]

coffeesonme, here during spring and summer, we were always under heat advisories. The air was so unhealthy, that the weatherman would tell us to stay inside unless it was an emergency. I don't even think I've seen any flowers bloom. The soil was so dry from lack of rain and on top of that we couldn't water anything because of water restrictions due to the drought. And now with the snow storms, I would gladly be outside working. :)

By the way, I'm currently studying to be a Nurse. I'm not sure exactly what type yet.

[coffeesonme]

Netta: That IS extreme (weather). I didn't realize even the air is hard to breath. Have you ever been to Oregon? I have lived mainly all around the Northwest. Wash, Idaho,Oregon. A short time in California. But I was born in Oregon. When my yard starts blooming real full I'll certainly send a picture. At first spring everything is white, then the next phase that blooms everything is Lt. pink. It goes from there to hot pink, reds,tapering off in the fall with flowers that are yellow gold and orange. My English garden has the climbers.
We plan on building the greenhouse this season (ran out of time last year).
That's great that you are studing to be a Nurse. I have applied for a position at a Vascular Clinic, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that one.;)
So do you grow indoor things? Or beings it gets so hot there do you have more of a South Western Flavor?
Well everyone take care.

I agree with you about this web site at least every body is connected for the same reason, it saves time, and no need to ask about pastimes etc ..... I live in France, in Besancon near Switzland and i guarantee there are not lots of BB fans around here !!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's so nice to see all the Betty Boop fans from around the world joining the forum! Welcome everyone!!

[Valerie]

yes betty is spreading her friendliness everywhere no need ships or planes to go all over the world !!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes, Betty Boop is world wide isn't she? I think she is just about everywhere! So you live in France? Were you born there? You write very good English. Have you ever visited the United States?

[coffeesonme]

Does anyone know if Japan has Betty Boop? It would be interesting to see how they look at Betty. I caught a glimse of one of her cartoons this morning. It was one of the first ones and she wasn't as cute and flirty as she is today.
This is a very cool website and forum. I belong to two others and they do not compaire to this one! Be cool!;)

[Valerie]

Yes I was born in the town I'm living in : Besancon by the way I can hardly but we've just had a little earth quake tonight !!!!!! i saw the door of our lounge moving ....!!!!!!! It's just incredible but I rung other neighbourgs and they also felt something moving . It's 10 at night that puts us in good mood to go to sleep !!!!!!!!!!
I spent a year in england in Yorkshire as an assistant in schools but it's been nearly 20 years ago now and i think I lost some vocabulary so joining this site fulfill my 2 passions English and BB and thank you BBB for keeping on touch !

[coffeesonme]

Wow about the earthquake. On another forum of mine one lady said they also had an earthquake in California about 5.2 in size. I went to bed early with in inner ear infection so things were moving for me. I wouldn't of know an earthquake was going on in my neighborhood unless a building fell on me.:rolleyes: Anyone else far or near feel any rumblings? Be safe, all of you;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

My sis called and told be about the earthquake near L.A. in California this morning. I'm in northern Arizona and didn't feel it... but we've got wind today and rain on the way.

[Valerie]

They said on the radio this morning that it was 5,5 on the richter scale ! mostly felt in the very east of France little in Paris and Lyon ! Really strange feeling and remindes us we are really small on this earth !!!!!!!

[boopsiegirl]

Hi Everyone, I live in Brooklyn New York & I have been a Betty Boop fan for many years. I have a very big collection of Betty, I love when they have Betty Boop as an Angel Or Devil I think that is so cute. It may sound crazy but I loved this shirt I have of her as an Angel so I got a tattoo of it. I love her. I am glad to see that there are people from all over that are collectors. :D

[Valerie]

hi boopsiegirl

hello from france you seem to have a great collection i've only started mine for about a year and really have nice items for 3 or 4 months

[coffeesonme]

Hi boopsiegirl:
I live in Portland Oregon. How big is your Betty Tattoo? I was seriously thinking about getting a tattoo. A suttle one like a little Betty in her Nurses uniform. My name badge has that picture of her on it poseing as to give a shot, so cute. But where to put it? hummmmmmm, have a great one, everyone;)

[Valerie]

do you think lots of people have betty's tattoo done ? i wish I could see picture of them!

[Boopfan713]

Hi Valerie;
I am sure that there are a number of us with Betty Boop Tattoos. Mine has Betty sitting in a champagne glass. It is on my shoulder/back. I stole the idea from a "Betty Boop - Party Girl" Tee Shirt. I seem to be the rare exception since most of the people who admit to a Betty Tattoo are females.

[Abettyboopster]

Boopsiegirl, I have a tatoo of the Betty Boop Angel. It's just her head & arms with wings. I have it tatooed between my shoulders, I also have her tatooed in her red dress, except I had the dress done in purple above my left ankle. But the Angel tatoo gets tons of compliments way more than the other one. Next I would like to have another Betty done on my low back between the hip bone area. Now I want a little Betty Boop scene with her and her boyfriend and her dog. I'm hooked on Betty Boop and tatoo's. I already have 11 tatoo's. They can be addicting!!!!

[coffeesonme]

That is what my son said about tatoos. Although he has no Betty's he does have 10? I think. I thought of a cute one. Betty Boop as an Angel with her hands over her mouth as if to say "Speak no evil". Ya know like the 3 figurines, see no evil,hear no evil, speak no evil. Maybe for some of us if you had a picture of your too's to attach it to the forum? They sound cool!;)

[Valerie]

I think it's a good idea to have bb tattooed i'll have to think about it . It's a bit difficult for us french to talk to American people or English people as we never know before you tell us or trhough the conversation wether you're a boy or a girl and I can hardly imagine myself asking every time hello boy or girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For my opinion, it doesn't matter because any new idea about BB is welcomed no matter it comes from a boy or a girl mind . However, for me , it's always a game and I bet at any new post I receive sometimes I win sometimes I lost . In french writing you know immediately if you're are writing to a boy or a girl because the way certain words are written indicate us the feminine or masculin mood !

[coffeesonme]

I am a girl;)

[Abettyboopster]

I'm a girl also:D I'm also going to try to get a pic of my Betty Angel tatoo, when I do I'll post it.

[Valerie]

Waaaahhhhhhh Iwon my bets about coffeesonme being a girl i'm a girl as well good day starting for me !!!!!!!enjoy yours

[boopsiegirl]

Hi, I am a girl also. I have a Betty Boop Tattoo on my right leg she is sitting & holding her legs she is a pretty big tattoo. I will take a picture of it soon & post it. I also got the idea from a t-shirt that I purchased from the lighterside catalog. Well hello everyone again.

[Valerie]

Thank you for all these precisions, am I the only one not tattooed ?!!!!!!!!!!! my husband tells me I should have a BB tattoo too ! I'm sure he wants to choose the drawing and the place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coffeesonme]

Hi Everyone! No, Valerie you aren't the only one not tatooed:D
That's cute what you said about hubby picking the tatoo and the place, heehee.
My hubby said that he would like it in a place where only he & I see it. Well geeze;) What's a girl to do:confused: I wash thinking on the small of my back but hubby says he has seen these on other women when their belt line goes down and their shirt line goes up, at work and says he doesn't like that. Funny man.
He need not worry because I want my Betty Tatoo to depict what I am about, suttle but well placed, heehee :D Everyone have a wounderful day!;)

[mgchan]

ahem...

just don't post any photos of tattos in areas of your body normally covered by underwear... even if you don't wear any... :eek:

[Valerie]

Hubby means husband i guess, well i'm learning english! i'll have to think about a right place as you say coffeesonme being a good representation of me !
It's funny because i usually have all your messages at a time when day ends because of the difference betweenhours of our countries at the time i'm writing everybody wishes me a good day though it is well advanced as it is8pm!!!!!!!!!!

[coffeesonme]

Right! Innocent and flirty like Betty.:D I'm still thinking on my shoulder where the only way one could see it is if I wear a tank top.;)

[Valerie]

right like me and also because i don't want to be half naked in front the tattoo man!

[Mouse]

I LIVE IN SCHERTZ NEXT TO SAN ANTONIO. I WORK FOR TIMEWARNER CABLE AS A COMPUTER TIER3 TECH SUPPORT. IT IS VERY HUMID HERE. BUT SUNNY.

[boopsiegirl]

[bexi3]

Love Becky

[DEADPOOL]

LONDON!! UK!!

Its the place to be baby!!

[livingbooper]

Hi! I just discovered this thread.
So I just have to say something.
I have never been to Texas, but I've flown over it....

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Right now it is in the height of summer and it is very hot and dry. We keep watering and watering, and it's hard to keep the gardens going. My town is a little inland, and doesn't get the cool air advantage of the bay or the ocean.

And responding to the earthquakes.... well, we natives are used to them, as I live close to the San Andreas Fault. It freaks out many people who don't grow up with them, but most of us just ride the wave. The only one that scared me was the famous Loma Prieta one in the late 80s. I was at work, the neons hanging in the windows were banging on the windows, and the building started creaking in the corner. I was on the phone to a customer and told hm that I had to go and ran outside into the parking lot. We had a power failure after that that lasted many hours. That one really scared me. But usually I miss them (you can't feel them in a car when driving, and usually not while in bed unless you have a creaky bed) so sometimes I'm disappointed at missing them. I don't like them to happen, but if they do, I'd like to be able to feel it....

Take care Boopers!

---Lizzy

[Bikerbettyboop]

I lived in So. California during several earthquakes (I was there from 1955 until 1995)... and I never got used to them... they always scared me!!

[BBooper]

:o

scary!

[livingbooper]

Ha ha ha! (It's only rock and roll but I like it...Rolling Stones)
Sorry, just my warped sense of humor again....
I love my California home, but I would just LOVE to visit Arizona, Texas, Australia, France, the UK.... and I'm gonna see New York soon....
I love reading about where everyone is from.:)
I'm going to try to shrink some pictures of my area. I love that BikerBettyBoop attached a photo of hers.

I live in a place called the Diablo Valley, in the footlands of Mount Diablo. I've got some awesome photos I took at the summit.

Would you like me to share? I am a bit of a shutterbug...

I'll attach something soon!

I can't wait to hear more stories from you guys. Tell me more about France. Tell me more about England. And everywhere else! Let's make this thread awesome!!!

Boop-Boop-a-Doop!!!:D :D :cool:

---Lizzy

[livingbooper]

And hey Valerie...
I'm all girl!!!! 100%

[livingbooper]

Hey guys!
I forgot one other question....
I am an older woman (who feels about 25 inside) and I have no tatoos. My fiance has them, including his newest which has my name.
Some of you know I love motorcycles.
Sounds like a few of you have BB tatoos or are considering getting them.
If I get one I'd like one of Betty Boop.
What do you think?
I'm really considering having it done. I'm 48. Am I being silly?
I'm thinking that it would be really cool, but I'm a real wuss about pain. But I'm feeling motivated now and I think that a BB tatoo would be so cool!
You guys gave me some real great ideas about where I could have it placed, as I'd still like to be subtle.

---Lizzy

[Valerie]

what do you want to know about france?
at the moment nobody can really moving without losing pounds of water (i mean sweat)!!!!!!!!
it's so hot this year yesterday42,5° at least in the shade even when i'm writing i'm hot!!!!!!!! i've never seen or feel that before during all my life i just hope winter won't be as cold as summer is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bexi3]

Oooooooh, I'm going to Greece in 2 1/2 weeks!!! Im soooo excited. Im going to Zakinthos where it is apparently 90 degrees at the moment!

You don't think its hot in england at the moment? It is in Birmingham - pushing 90 degrees here! Luckily I work in a nice cool office, although I'd prefer to be out sunbathing, maybe enjoying a picnic with my lovely fella! He text me to say that he's knocking off work early to go and have beer and a bbq in the park - NO FAIR!!

I LOVE SUMMER!!! :)

[mgchan]

Well, eat lots of ice cream and drink lots of water!!!!!

BBooper and Bexi3: Have tons of fun on your vacations! They sound like they will be fantastic!

Stay cool Boopers!

---Lizzy

[livingbooper]

I don't think it's a good idea to download the Comet Curser... it's full of Spyware.
I had to remove it with my SpywareNuker...

[Valerie]

you're right living booper i have loads of problems with comet cursor, my computer stops suddenly or won't switch on i missed some BB stuffs on ebay last night because i couldn't switch on properly
as for the heat i can't believe it today was over 42° i don't know if you count like us or like in UK! but it's a lot i've never known that before! we can't raise one finger without sweating!

Hi ... Im Shana
Pretty new at this bettyboop thing, Don't know how to
actually use it yet hopefully someone will read
and help me out...Im 16yr old from Kentucky
Tan, Dark brown hair... brown eyes... wanna chat? hit me up `,=c]

[livingbooper]

I downloaded Comet Cursor a few months back, enjoyed fun cursors, had a lit candle one for Christmas. My pop-ups were getting out of control and I ran across an ad for a program for SpywareNuker. I had heard about spyware, but the ad educated me. I manage my credit accounts and banking online, and I like to buy stuff online, and I didn't like the idea that people were watching my surfing and buying habits on the internet. I downloaded the SpywareNuker, ran the scan and it found almost 400 spyware elements on my computer. At the end I looked at the report which tells which programs contained the spyware. Over half, maybe 2/3rds were from comet Cursor. I figured that if I let SpyNuker get rid of the elements that maybe I'd still have the fun cursors. But after I ran the clean-up sequence Comet Cursor totally disapeared. "Hot Bar" and "Gator" also install spyware.
After I ran this, I was clean of spyware for a long time. Although I try to avoid clicking into the pop-up at this site, my cursor accidentally clicked into it one morning as I was typing, and Comet Cursor installed itself. I immediately ran my SpywareNuker, and it found 132 spyware elements on my computer, all Comer Cursor.

So again, I recommend to everyone not to download Comet Cursor, unless you don't mind sharing your internet travels with unknown watchers. Spyware is a marketing device used to determine your buying habits so that marketers can send you their ads. But I think that it could degrade into something less innocent. I still hate that they do this without your knowlege or permission.

Take care. Surf safely.

[Boopfan713]

Hi Living Booper ( Lizzy ) ;
You say you are thinking about getting a Betty Boop tattoo.
You wonder if you are being silly because you are 48 years old (same as me - but young at heart like me too ) NO WAY! Go For It!
I have a tattoo of Betty Boop in a champagne glass on my shoulder/back.
John

[livingbooper]

Really? I never really wanted a tatoo in my life before, but lately I've been wanting one since I've been noticing that more women are getting them.
Now I just need to pick the artwork.
And get brave!
Thanks for the encouragement, John!:D

---Lizzy

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey Lizzy... you've got more courage than me. I think tattoos are so cool but I know it must hurt a lot to get one so I'm a big chicken, just call me a coward!!! Let me know if you decide to go for it and which image you're going to have put on.

[livingbooper]

Well, I'm a chicken too, but I've opened my big mouth and my imagination, so I guess I'll have to do it soon..before I really turn into a chicken... cluck cluck cluck!!! lol

I will of course have to have a Biker Betty one! If it's not too expensive. Some of her other images are simpler and would probably be cheaper to do. But I've gotta go with our favorite girl!:D

I'll let you know how it is... from a chickens point of view!!!

---Lizzy

[Bikerbettyboop]

I went with a friend once to have a tattoo put on her arm and I told her I'd sit there and hold her hand.... well the first zap and she jumped 20 feet in the air and I ran out of the shop... I wasn't much help to her.... my advice... get some big strong guy to hold your hand!!!:D

[livingbooper]

Advice noted...I'll do just that!;)

[Valerie]

does that heart so much really, ? i can imagine you running out of the shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahaha

[bexi3]

My boyfriend just got a tatoo from his shoulder to his elbow which looks soo painful. He said it bled quite a lot, and this morning there was a print of it on his bed sheets from where he had been lying - so make sure you put old sheets on your bed when you have it done!!
He tries to make out that it didn't hurt but I think he's just trying to be manly!! Hehehe

Becky
xx

[Valerie]

hi bexi
i was tempted to have a BB tattoo too but i'm afraid of infections! more than painfullness

[bexi3]

Well as long as you look after it and do what the tatoo people tell you about after care, it should be fine. I say go for it!

[livingbooper]

Yes, my understanding that there is post-tattoo care. If taken care of properly there should be no problems. There is special stuff they give you that you put on it to make it heal right.
Well, I'm getting chicken again.....

---Lizzy

[boopsiegirl]

Hi Everyone, Getting a tattoo does not hurt that much' it feels like someone is scratching in the same place for awhile it's more like an annoying pain. I have a Betty Angel Tattoo on my right upper thigh & it did not hurt that much. You really can't get an infection, unless you don't clean it. They have disposable needles so you can't catch anything & you bleed but not that much. Well I hope I filled you all in a little. Talk to you soon Gina:D :cool:

[Valerie]

it's been a long tile since i've read from you, i hardly check on the forum because i have not much spare time for me but i try to answer every mail i receive though!
how are you doing over seas ? i'm always amzed that i'm talking with people so far from me and though seem so close by the subject that links all of us BB of course, it always seems to me that you are iliving in a town next to mine!!!!!!!!!!! in fact we never think we are so far from each other when we are writing and when i think about it it always amazes me!!!!!!!!!
what do you think ?
our garages are finished but ther's still water coming inside when it rains so we wait to pay the last bill till it's ok, how do people work in US ? In france they always seem to be pushed to go on it's tiring on the end!!!!!!!!!

[boopsiegirl]

Hi Valerie, I am so happy that you wrote to me I miss you too, we used to write to eachother all the time. I wrote to you in a couple of post's asking how your family was & I did not see a response so I figured you were busy. I am also amazed at how we are all talking & that we are from so many differen't countries. I always wanted to go to France, my grandmother went there & she said it was beautiful & a friend of mine got engaged on the Eiffel Tower. We just had a blackout here in New York it was terrible we had no lights we could not eat because there was no electricity but the power was restored thank God, my nephew was so scared he said he thought there were monster's under the bed we felt so bad. Here in America it is the same way with work it is no different it's just work, work work(lol). Well anyways it was great to hear from you I missed you hope to talk to you again Gina :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;)

[Valerie]

i'm happy to read you again, in fact i didn't get your previous posts how come!!!!!!!!!!
we heard on tv about the electrical problem in US it seems to last longer in some countries i suppose it must be difficult to live especially when th heat is so strong everywhere and there's no fridge for example!
i have many problems with my computer and i think i'll soon have to take it to the "doctor" so if you don't receive any post for a moment don't panic !
everything is ok with my family stella is now 13 months old and she's about to walk! she has 4 teeth! time flies so fast!!!!!!!!!!!
have a nice sunday

Hi Everyone, I'm from Upland, Ca. It has been HOT the last couple of day in the 100's today it is cooler in the upper 80's. So some snow would sound good about now.

[Bikerbettyboop]

My husband and I live in the high country of Arizona and on our way home from the Grand Canyon yesterday, we encountered some snow and hail... we couldn't believe it... we were riding our motorcycles!!

[10eke]

How I love autumn and winter... The most beautiful leaves fall from the trees, rainy days, a sore throat, my whole head feels like it's filled with snot... Oh, I really love autumn.....

[bexi3]

How lovely!!
Its very coooold! Sitting here again with my heater blazing! Grrr - how I wish I was at home in front of a roaring fire (if I had one) drinking hot chocolate, watching re-runs of Charmed! haha!

[10eke]

Lovely? I was trying to be sarcastic... I don't think a head filled with snot is lovely, and neither is my sore throat...

[bexi3]

I know - I was being sarcastic too!! Snot is never pleasant! :( Get well soon xx

[livingbooper]

Hi Vacar!
Welcome to our forum! We are like one big family in here...and we talk like one! I suffer the same as 10eke in the fall...probably the pine pollen....

Where is Upland? I've probably seen it on a map but it's npt ringing a bell. Southern California probably? I live in teh San Francisco Bay Area...cold and rainy here right now. (Well, cold by OUR standards...our European friends would probably love it here right now! But we're spoiled in California!)

Take care, and please visit again!:D

---Lizzy

[bexi3]

I bet it's still really warm compared to here! I don't mind the cold really - means you can put big jumpers on and snuggle up under your duvet! Just don't like being cold at work cos I can't concentrate when I have cold fingers! xx

[livingbooper]

I bet! Icy fingers can be VERY distracting!!!!:eek:

i never been to london how is it like there???

[Bikerbettyboop]

There are lots of Betty Boop fans in England!!! Almost as many as the U.S. and Holland!!!

[bexi3]

London is busy! I love going to London especially covent garden in the summer - lots of street performers....! xx

[Bikerbettyboop]

There must be so much history in Great Britain.. how exciting for you all. I saw Queen Elizabeth on television last night... she was sending off the new ship... it's awesome isn't it? It's like a city on the ocean!!! our country is still young compared to countries in Europe and around the world.

[BBooper]

yer, we have a lot of history, which i suppose is good seeing as it's my fav subject!

BBooper
xxx

[livingbooper]

Oh, love history too! I like to read and watch programs about it. Not so much about politics and dates, but I like to learn about the culture, about the everyday people, about what they wore, what they ate, their customs, their family life, what they had...

[BBooper]

:D cool! my favorite time period is WW1 and WW2! that's what i'm doing at the moment in history. in febuary i have been selected from the year group to go down to London with other bright students and visit the imperial war museum!! i suppose history is the only subject in bright at because i enjoy it so much! :D

BBooper

[livingbooper]

Congratulations! Looks like that is quite an honor to be selected. That should prove to be very interesting.

I believe that you are a very bright young lady and that you are bright in everything!;) It definately does help to be interested in a subject though!!!! ;)

I am fascinated with a lot of ancient history as well as the middle ages and the Rennaissance. I love to read about the Elizabethan times and I love to read and watch Shakespeare. (Maybe 'cause I'm Elizabeth????)

Keep up the good work!:D

[bexi3]

I stopped studying history when I was 15 because I didnt want to take a gcse in it and I've regretted it ever since because when I started university I found that even though I was doing an english degree, I needed some historical knowlege to understand the literature that I was studying. Most of my friends did history all through school and seem to be so knowlegable now! So keep up with history - it's a good subject to be good at and enjoy! xx

[BBooper]

thank you livingbooper :D

i did study the tudors last year and did big projects on it and guess what! i got a higher level than expected and an A* :D i was chuffed!

BBooper

P.S. my mums middle name is Elizabeth and my brothers girlfriend is called Elizabeth too! :P

[bexi3]

Hey, my mum's middle name is Elizabeth too - and my little sister's! It's a good name obviously! :D xx

[livingbooper]

Well, I like it!:D
I liked studying about the Tudors too... and it was on my own because they cover mostly American history here in the U.S.

Queen Elizabeth I really fascinates me, and I watch anything I can on Queen Elizabeth II, so I guess she fascinates me too!
They are both very strong women and I really admire that.:)


Congrats again BBooper on a job well done!!!!:D

[BBooper]

:D thanks! hey, why don't you look in your local bookshop in the history dep. im sure they'll have something on Elizabeth I! do you have Waterstones in America? that's a great book shop!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Elizabeth is a beautiful name isn't it? My great grandmother and my husband's mother all were named Elizabeth too.

Isn't that where Betty and Betsy and Beth were derived from?

[livingbooper]

Yes they are. And there are several other nicknames for Elizabeth as well. I think that Elizabeth has more nicknames than any other name. At least, that's what I hear...
Lillybeth, Lispeth, Liz... That's all I can think of for now, but I know that there are more....
Isabel in Spanish...

[livingbooper]

But consider the name "Deborah" or Debra....
There is Debby, Debbie, Deb, Debbi, Debi....

And there are tons of ways to spell the nicknames for Cynthia!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Boy Lizzy you are just a wealth of information about names!!!

[sammiie]

I live in outer london in a little wee place called southgate
with by boyfriend and his parents and guess what his dad is american from new york state!!

[sammiie]

my middle name is elizabeth it was my mum and nans middle name to so if i have a little girl it will be hers

[bexi3]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has their children's names planned out! I've had mine planned for ages! Talk about jumping the gun! ;) xx

[sammiie]

well so far we`ve got sky elizabeth
reece lionel
piage kathleen
and dylan (dylan doesn`t have a middle name yet!)
can wait to have them when i`m older!!!!

[bexi3]

And what happens if you don't have 4 children? haha!
Mine are Joseph Simeon or Jacob Simeon - not sure which yet! I also love the names Nathan and Joshua. And for the girls - Holly Elizabeth, Alyssa and Megan. Buuuuuut, I'm lacking quite an important contributing factor right now, so I think it may be a while before I have children! Dispite the fact that my step mother casually threw into conversation the other day that she feels that she's ready to be a grandmother now! I was just like - 'yeah, you're in for a long wait!' ;) xx

[JennyBoop]

:) Me and my hubby already have our futer kids names picked out too they are Joel Robert for A boy and Emily Marie for A girl. The boy is named after his grandpa and my dad and the girl is named after my sister and mother.

[BBooper]

So... anyone from anywhere exotic??

[livingbooper]

Hey, you've got lots of time Becky! Have fun now, no need to rush things. Then when you meet Mr. Right, then you'll be ready to settle down with no regrets.

Then those names may come in handy!:)

Sammiie, are you Samantha Elizabeth? It's a different combination than I'm used to hearing, but I really like it! Nice name!!!
My fiance is from New York. I am from California so he has an accent to me. Although he says that I have the accent! LOL!:D

I know - don't worry Lizzy I have no intention of needing those names just yet! :D Just that I've had them picked out since I was quite young. My 7 year old sister has already got hers picked out too! I think it's a girly thing don't you? xx

[livingbooper]

Yes, I think so. I had names picked too. But I kept changing the girl names. If I had a son I was going to name him after my dad Vincent. Then I was going to use my husbands name as the middle name.

Yup, a girlie thing indeed!:D

That's so odd! I had a dream last night that I had a baby (don't ask me why - I have no idea) but I called him Vincent! It's not a name I've ever had in the back of my mind so for it to pop up in my dream was very odd indeed....! Spoooooooky! ;)

[JennyBoop]

:) Yes it is A girlie thing, to pick out your futur kids name.

[10eke]

I'm making a list already. I write down all the beautiful and unusual names I come across. Got about fifteen names now. I have more girls names then boynames though... Seems there are more special names for girls then boys!

[bexi3]

It's the opposite for me - I have loads of boys names and not many girls names! There are so many girls in my family, they've used them all up! x

[10eke]

Some girls have very special names, like Keira Knightly, you know her? That's one of those special names I have.

[bexi3]

No, I don't know who she is. Pretty name though! xx

[BBooper]

oh yes! she was in bend it like beckham and pirates of the carribean! she's really pretty! i like her name too!

ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING....
Hahahaha!:D

ha ha... thanks a lot Lizzy.. now I'm singing that song again.. ha hah! Funny how that works huh?

Does that ever happen to you? Hear a song or a commercial and then sing the song all day long?

[JennyBoop]

:D :D Yea I found my head. My hubby will be coming home in mid-June who know's maybe earlier:D Thank's for asking, he is in A safe area out there and we get to chat everyday through instant messanger which is really nice. He also call's when he can. Now our conversation mainly consist of the things we are going to do together when he get's home, like our vacation to Florida which I am excited about. I don't care what we do I'll just be glad to have him home with me. We got married September 20th 2002 and six months later basically he was deployed. He said he does not have that much more in military and he's going to retire out after 20 years. Sorry for rambling about my hubby I'm just very proud of him !!!!!

[Neckless]

I'm new on the board. Just looking around and feeling my way. It's amazing to be in an area where we all LOVE BB.

Any of you guys ever been to Belize?

[livingbooper]

Hey Theresa! Yes, I've done that! Also, I have a radio alarm clock and sometimes the song that is on when it wakes me up sticks in my head for hours!:eek: If I like the song I'll sing it at work and drive my co-workers nuts!!!!:cool: ;)

Hey JennyBoop! Heck, you're not ramblin' at all. And of course you are proud of him! I think it's cool that you are sharing him with us in here. I look foreward to the day when he returns home to you. I am proud of him and all of our men and women in arms. I bet you two will have a lot of catching up to do! I think it's so cool that you two can keep in contact with IMing. Isn't the computer age wonderful? As far as I am concerned, you can talk about him all you want here. Personally, it makes me feel more connected to our guys overseas. I am so happy for you that he is in a safe place.

Hi Neckless! Welcome to our forum. We are all crazy about Betty Boop here, and we are all one big happy family in here. This is the best forum on the internet!:D Just keep posting and you'll make lots of new friends!

I may not be able to talk with him face to face but at least it' something. Thank's again for supporting the military, they need all the support they can get. Even if you don't support The President and the war, please just support our troops. Ok I'll stop gabbing now.:o

[livingbooper]

You got it!!!:D :D :D

[livingbooper]

Thanks Neckless! Sounds like you live in a great place! Especially right now. California is cold now too, but not a freezer like New York. I will read more about your home later. Very interesting indeed!
Thanks for sharing! (I love the visual aid!)

I know where the Carribean is, but I didn't know where in the Carribean it was.

Now this gives me one more destination to want to visit. I keep meeting Boopers who live in fabulous places who make me want to travel. I hope that my new business is successful so that I can become rich and visit these places. And Beliz would be my winter destination for sure!;)

[Neckless]

Oh...I love Belize.
Go to the website when you have a relaxing chance and just let your mind GO. It'll take you out to deep sea!

Texas here also, outside of the big city of Houston, and your right lilbetty we never see snow, and it probably is a good thing because no one knows how to drive it it down here.

Hi Lilbetty:
What will you like to know about the beautiful Island? At least you have a few puertorican friends, I only met one family here, but just went back to PR. The people where I live are very "conservative", and the only hispanics are mostly Mexican working on the farms. They have been very kind to me and they are teaching me the southern way. Take care.

Hello to all! I am from Astoria , Queens. Im getting a little tired of all the snow and cold weather. Last week's snow is now solid due to the cold temps. This am it was 15.

Hello leboop448
Wow Astoria, Queens... what is it like living there?? Me I am from Michigan. how much snow do u have. it is currently only 10 degress here.

Missy:P

[leboop448]

Missy,
I guess living in Queens , New York is like living in a big City. There are private homes, apartment buildings and some small stores. For the larger stores, we go to a mall. There are a lot of places you are able to walk to instead of driving. Last week's snow was about 10".

[boopsiegirl]

Welcome Leboop448, You will love it here everyone is friendly & helpful & I just love them all they are like a Betty Boop family to me! Well I live not to far from you I live in Brooklyn, New York & I know just how cold it is here. I wish winter was over already. Well have fun talk to you soon Gina :)

[mbetty1976]

Good Morning leboop448


i would love to someday visit New York. especially to see all the different little shops that New York may have. I am one who enjoys the little shops, not the big malls. We too have about 10' snow on the ground currently. What is the temp like there verse's here?

i've heard on the radio this morning a hurricane coming in florida and everybody rushing away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is reallly frightening and scaring imaging that you might not find your house when you come back!!!!!!!!!! i think of you all living near there!

[bettyboopfan]

I feel for those that live in Hurricane areas!

[Abettyboopster]

Hi everyone. It's been a really long time since I've been online. But I am here in Pasco County, Florida and we are still getting hammered by Frances!!! But it's just about over now, she's onland again in the upper north west part and exiting. But the rain bands are causing an awful lot of flooding, Trees down all over. I only live about 4 miles from Hudson Beach. You can't get no where near there. There has been 3 casualties so far. I was evacuated Friday. And went home last night just to see how we made out. Fortunetly I had no damage. Just power outage since yesterday from 9:00am until today at 2:00 pm this afternoon. That was enough for me. But the folks in Polk County where hit in the last Hurricane, only 2 1/2 weeks ago. And now again. Record has it that there hasn't been 2 hits this close together in the past 100 years.

However I still like living here. The Hurricane season ends in November. Last year we didn't have any Hurricans hit Florida at all. I guess we're getting last years along with this years at one time. There is one more out there named Ivan. I'm praying it goes anywhere but here.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi A!! Sorry to hear about all the pounding you took from Frances and glad to hear you are ok!!!

[Neckless]

Abettyboopster...I hope everything is ok with you and your town.

[bettyboopfan]

I hope the hurricane passed you by and everything turned out to be fine, Abettyboopster!!

[Neckless]

Would love to hear from you.

[bettyboopfan]

Check in when you get a chance!!

[Abettyboopster]

OK, now the hurricane has passed me up. I am fine and not to much damage for me. However I have been helping some friends clean up the mess that they got trees down. I was out of power from Sunday morning at 8:00 am and the power came back on this morning about 11:30. It's so nice to have electric. Cooking is much easier, and it is cooler inside now.

[Neckless]

That's great that you didn't suffer too much damage in the huricane. It was really bad. It's nice to help out others who arein need.
T'was a good little while to be without power.

Wow...isn't that something...the things we take fir granted? Our electricity...for cooking and lighting and cooling.

Oh the powers that be!!

I sure am glad that the storms have moved on.

[bettyboopfan]

I am so glad to hear that you are ok and you didn't receive much damage!!

[Neckless]

me too.........again!!

I couldn't imagine! We have alot of tornadoes here. I have never (knock on wood) had a home destroyed due to a tornadoe. I am grateful for that. Been in one, I am so afraid of storms....one more thing to add to my "chicken" list!
