Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm always the last on the block to know......
Cuz I'm blonde? Cuz I don't pay no mind? Cuz I'm in school and my brain, such as it is, has absorbed too much? I dunno, but I just went to the chat area which I don't do very often and GUESS WHAT there is a lonely hearts chat area! That rocks, I can talk realtime with some of my fave LH buds!!!
I am gonna start looking in there occasionally, hope to see y'all there sometime!!!
The poll is for icebreaker topics for those of us, who, like me, are quiet and shy.....

I have no good staple icebreaker topics anymore lol. since I've been in college I've collapsed in on myself personality-wise and become intensely shy around new people. It takes a few hours for me to warm up to strangers and really talk to them, unless of course I'm smashed on a fifth of vodka.
*edit* my mom recently said to a cousin on the phone "she's not a talker" in reference to me. nice huh?

I am shy too, that's why I posted the icebreaker subjects. Even if someone is brand new to me, it is impossible not to warm up and start chatting if someone brings up the subject of a new puppy, or a pet turtle; there are all kinds of subjects you can raise that will make you forget your own shyness and awkwardness and instead get into what is being said.
What is nice about having a LH chatroom is that you will see people like me and the rest of the folks here on the board, I feel that through our posts we halfway know each other anyway.

Well, I have no idea what would be a good icebreaker. I guess that's why I'm so pathologically shy

I know what you mean reptilebreeder. I am not too good at initiation face to face conversation, but once the ice is broken I find that reptiles make for great conversation! Even if the other person has never seen a reptile up close in person, there's just something about them that interestes almost everyone. I have found that talking about the freezer full of frozen lagomorphs or using a dead rat to rub on a rabbit for scenting is not the usually the part of reptile keeping people want to k now about though hee hee.

Probably best to wait for at least a half-hour before bringing those up, although you just don't run into that many women who use the word lagomorphs in a sentence. A big vocabulary is very exciting to me.

I'm usually not tongue-tied in the least, but my favorite topics are sports (GO STEELERS! Go Cubbies!) pets, and army life if someone is a bit shy. All topics that most people in this area can discuss.
