The Shoutbox
Think I've squashed all the major chat room bugs, thanks in large part to Rodent, who (appropriately, given the name) has agreed to be the guinea pig.

Weird character/long usernames should be able to chat now, and not wrap weirdly on the online users list, and I think the time zone issue should be good, too. And I think the last few times, we've avoided the "my messages aren't visible to me for the first few minutes" thing. Dare I say, might this be a bug-free Oscar chat? Do I dare hope?

It finally showed up at 1.30, which wasn’t too bad. I was then able to get out for some fresh air. Wondered why a certain package had turned up this month after being lost for a few weeks. My former mail carrier told me he had found it sitting on a shelf at the P.O. Unbelievable! My tax dollars at work.

I’m not too fussed either. My room must be quiet though. Once stayed in a lovely Manhattan hotel & the traffic noise in my corner room was murderous. Ruined my stay.

It's okay if you haven't seen a lot of the films, it's just a prediction game. Costs nothing, and hey, maybe you'll win a free movie. Go for it!
Almost done. Just waiting for caffeine to kick in.

Having a valuable package stolen off the door step when no one is home, is much worse! Believe me if your package didn't have signature conformation and it was delivered when no one was home, and then stolen...that would be a pain in the butt.

I keep changing them around....I will settle on final picks at some point!
If you want to post something in General to let people know, that'd be no problem. Thanks for asking--it's admittedly a tough one to categorize.
