Forever Friends Newsletter
 
Hello to all my fellow Forever Friends.  It is so nice to be able to write to you all and let you know what is happening and going to happen in YOUR league.  We have been working very hard lately trying to get new and exciting things going for you.  We hope you enjoy what we are doing and will continue to jump with us even more as you enjoy these new and exciting things that are happening.
 
First I would like to welcome some new staff members who are making our league an even better place to belong.
 
Some of the names will be familiar to you and we welcome them back with open arms. 
blpugh061770, ghettomom1369, suppertrucker4, bikini10277, Chulita73Plyr, coldrevengepro, edmardo632000, FeveredSilence, prplsunsetlvr and uncrn1965P .  We look forward to touring with each of you.   My personal opinion is that we have the best TDS on pogo!!!!
 

Welcome all bowling player/tds we are happy you are here. 

 
In the newsletter we will be putting the spotlight on one TD per month and and four players each month (this will come in a different letter).  That TD will also be receiving a TD appreciation Tour during the month and each player will receive a tour of their choice to be hosted when they would like it.  Eventually we will get around to each of you.  When you get the letter from Hazel, please fill it out so we can get to know each other a bit more.  I think this will be fun.

Cranberry Pecan Scones

Oven preheated to 500

2 c flour
1 c oatmeal or oatmeal flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ c packed brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 ½ c chopped cranberries
1 ½ c chopped pecans
1 c buttermilk or soured milk

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter into the dry ingredients as for pastry or biscuits. Mix in berries and nuts until evenly distributed. Stir in milk until just moistened (do not over mix). Turn out onto floured surface and with floured hands knead 8-10x just to bring it all together. Divide the dough.

Form each into circle about 7” in diameter by rolling or patting – using more flour as necessary. Cut each into 8 wedges* (do not “saw” but cut straight down). Place on lightly floured sheet (I find lining the sheets with parchment a better alternative). Turn the oven DOWN to 450 and bake 15-20 minutes until they are beginning to brown

4. "Until 10 minutes ago, I had no idea who Dave Letterman was"

3. "I could take down Clay Aiken with one arm in a sling"

League Donations

Dear Forever Friends,

This is kind of a touchy subject! Never discuss politics, religion, or money....lol

The running of our league actually costs me hundreds of dollars a year. THAT is why I have moved the donation box to a more noticeable spot on Forever Friends webpage. If you are unable to fine it or have any questions, please ask.  I know the economy is not at it's best right now so do not feel obligated to help. But if you have a few extra dollars, it will help keep our league up and running. So sorry, but league buxs can not be accepted. Hee Hee

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not feel that you have to give anything. The league is not going to fold if you don't, but it would ease some of the costs and enable the HA's to offer incentives like free upgrade memberships and badge books as prizes.

Thank you for being a member of Forever Friends and supporting our league!

Sadie, Megsy and Hazel


*****Creating Desktop Shortcut to our Rooms*****

Many members are still unaware how to create a desktop shortcut to our rooms so we will address this once again in the newsletter.  By making the shortcut available on your desktop you stand a far better chance of getting into our rooms when the rooms are busy or full.

You can accomplish this as follows:

1.    When you are in the room maximize the room.

2.    Right click the  pale yellow space on the outside of the chat area

3.    Select create short cut

4.    You will then be asked if you wish to put a short cut to this site on your desktop.

5.    Click YES.

The shortcut will then appear on your desktop.   To rename the shortcut simply right click on the shortcut and rename to the name of the room.

By creating these shortcuts on your desktop you will have easier access to the rooms you wish to play in.

 Do not jump into tourneys until you are actually in the room!

 

HOW TO JUMP FOR TOURNEYS

Please don't jump for tournaments unless you are in the room. 
While you are in our rooms be sure to create a desktop shortcut to the room, you do this by hitting the right button on your mouse while in the outside yellow area of the game window (also instructions above).
