 * Yes, I try my best to do it, but I sometimes forget to sign my name. Also, I do know how to sign my name. But thanks for your concern, keep it up and good things will happen in life! ;-D

Your message
Thank you; that corner has undergone some big changes over the last year &mdash; I'll post a photo later in the year if I can. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 06:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It is very beautiful, please do post a picture of how it looks now. --Penubag 04:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)penubag


 * [[Image:White waterlily.jpg|thumb|Small white waterlily]]Sorry not to come back sooner; I haven't had a chance to do any photography yet, so I thought that I'd leave a photo of one of the things that has appeared in that corner of the garden since I took the picture on my User page. As you see, a big (elemental) change has taken place. --Mel Etitis  ( Talk ) 09:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Did you take that picture? Please show me your whole garden.--Penubag 04:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)penubag

I did take the picture, yes &mdash; I'm glad that you like it. I'm afraid that photographs of my whole garden would take up a lot of space, and probably be deeply disapproved of here. I'll post some more if I can, but there are one or two others at User:Mel Etitis/Photos. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 10:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Those pictures are also very nice. I'll post a picture of some of my garden pictures soon. =-D --Penubag 03:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)penubag

User boxes
Hey Penubag, it's me, George, better known as Crazy George. Your userboxes are awesome (and well set out! the same can't be said for mine.) You Ascii Art also looks amazing! How do you do that? I especially like the one of Link and also Mario. The Link drawing has so much detail and is huge! I had to zoom out to 40 or 50% just to see it well. Nintendo make awesome games but I can't say that I don't think the Wii's a gimmick and they make very weak consoles. If only I could play the games on a good console, which since only one exists, would be the PS3 ( even though I only have a PS2 at the moment because I can't afford a PS3, but the PS3's a lot better). I think I should go now before the Nintendo fanboys track my IP and who knows what will happen then. BYE! George 09:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! HE'S WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!George 09:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Penubag 04:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)penubag
 * Thanks for your message Crazy George!! If you want, give me a picture, and I will write into ACII font for you. Yes, I also know that it does take a long time to align all of the user boxes (but let me tell you, a lot longer to figure it out) My 2nd page of my user page will be updated. I will be adding an 'Interesting facts' section soon, and fix up the acii art section (can't figure out how to get the separators out). Also on the note of Nintendo, I think that the wii is REALLY fun and deserves a try. I know we're on different sides but let's just be friends :-). I grew up with Nintendo and have over 50 games so yeah. Talk to you later! BTW, who's watching?

In response to you question 'Who's watching', I know it's a bit late now but it just happened again. There was a big banner at the top of the page that said, "HE"S WATCHING!!!" and had a close up of some guy's face. Very weird. Anyway, got more homework. bye! George 07:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello crazy george. Long time no seem, eh? So you've got a lot of home work? I'll help you with any questionon your homework EXCLUDING reports, I hate reports! So nice to meet you again, and hope we can be friends still. =-D So you want me to make an ACII art for you or not?-- Penubag  03:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

You can make ACII art of whatever you want. I don't really care, it all looks good. I don't have any ideas anyway. BTW, I like your sig. Good to talk to you too. Anyway, nothing to say really. Cya!

Welcome!

You're not really that new, but I'll give you this anyway. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 10:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but leaving that on my usertalk page makes me look stupid; but thanks anyways.-- Penubag  08:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome, ! I noticed that you joined the discussion on WP:FPC. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your opinions might not be counted.

 * Did you tell me this because I forgot to sign one of my posts? Sorry if I forgot to sigh one post. BTW, I've been on wikipedia for a year. Talk to you later! =-] --Penubag 10:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)penubag
 * Yeah, that was just a generic thing. Also, you seem to be signing them wrongly - you're typing 'penubag' after the four tildes - you don't need to. Just finish your sentence and type four tildes like this:  Then use the preview button to check your edit looks alright (capital letters, spelling, alignment with : and * etc.) then you can save it. And I know you've been on here a long time, but I thought the welcome might still be useful to you - it has some good quick links to policy and guidelines. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 10:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for clarification
Your post to Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents has provoked somewhat of a collective "Huh?" Please come back to ANI and explain exactly what the problem is you're having with this IPvandal. Thanks. --Dynaflow 03:21, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

UCLA UBX
Are you sure you need another userbox? =) Use with caution:  Userboxes/Education/United_States  --Dynaflow   babble  07:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes! I love userboxes! Thanks Dynaflow! But, I should have known where to look for that user box. -- Penubag  07:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * One of your userboxes says you're still in high school, though. Did you just get accepted or something?  If so, congrats, and say hi to the RSS kids (or the ΡΣΣ scholars, as they style themselves) if you see them --Dynaflow   babble  07:29, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I'm not going there yet, but in the near future I plan to go to UCLA. Thanks anyways. =-)I'll hopefully remember to say Hi to them. XD -- Penubag  08:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Ireland flag
Hey there...just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to Ireland, since that's the article for the whole island and not just the Republic. There's been a lot of back-and-forth on adding flags to that page, so if flags are your thing, I'd suggest entering the discussion on the talk page. Dppowell 04:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I didn't know that the flag of Ireland included the whole island. So yes, I agree with your revert. Thanks for informing me kindly. I may re-add the flag closer to the bottom of the article in a more insugnificant place. Thanks again. -- Penubag  04:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism at the Shaffer paragraph atricle. Appreciate it! =-D -- Penubag  01:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Always a pleasure to be of service! Robin S 02:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Interesting Facts (again)
I also noticed that your so-called "all-alphabet" sentence was missing a "v". I hope you don't mind if I added the word "very" in to the sentence :)  † S e a n gor t e r †  12:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry Sean but there was a 'V' and you missed it! The sentence: "The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."    ;-D lol! thanks for trying to fix it anyways, and thanks for actually reading those InterestingF. I thought I typed them all up for nothing, but at least one person read it! =-D See 'ya around! -- Penubag  02:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I read a fact in your interesting facts page and you said that pictures of Donald Duck were banned in libraries in some part of the world, and you don't know which part. I believe that it was in Finland that Donald Duck pictures were against the rules. Savie Kumara 21:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Subpage
Rather than having a second account, why don't you just create a subpage? 121.72.239.212 02:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I would have but at the time I created it, I didn't know how. I'm too lazy so im just going to leave it the way it is. -- Penubag  23:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

thanks
Thank you for the barnstar, it is really appreciated. Sorry this is belated, I just noticed it today. Bawolff
 * You're very welcome!

ascii art
That looks absolutely incredible!! I can't believe you made it. Thanks a lot and I'll make sure it doesn't get deleted. George 09:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Something Awful
The phrasing of my message is an inside joke on a website called Something Awful. On their forums, common typos are automatically filtered to say "NOTE: I AM TOO STUPID TO SPELL [word] CORRECTLY."
 * Oh, sorry, I didn't know that. =-) -- Penubag  00:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

****** page
Purely by chance, I was on recent changes and saw an edit to your userpage by an ip address - when I investigated I found the link to your ****** page. By the way, I love your "wikiballs" :P -- D4g0thur 07:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * So you found it through the recent changes. I cleared my cookies before I signed in and made that edit, so that's why there's an Ip address. LOL wikiballs... And you have my reward on your page! =-D-- Penubag  07:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

****** page
I found your ****** page! ^_^ •Cly d e •  (a.k.a Mystytopia) 23:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's easy to find if you know that there is one! Recheck my ****** again for some information!! Also copy the barnstar template to your page if you want.-- Penubag  00:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Excellent way of finding ****** pages! I found yours while searching. •Cly d e •  (a.k.a Mystytopia) 01:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep! It's a dirty trick and every user page it links to is ******!-- Penubag  01:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Awww thanks! :)
Dear Penubag, thank you so much for the beautiful gift, and your even more beautiful words! :) I hardly believe myself worthy of the flattery, but I'll hold on to the joy you've gifted me and save the unneeded words. It is always nice to find someone who also realizes the value of kindness, and for that reason, you'll always be welcome at my Talk page; and I don't have to say, if you need my help, I'm just a click or two away ;) Again, thanks, sweetie! Love,  P h a e d r i e l  - 05:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

How can you be an athiest and still "love God more than anyone and anything!"? <font color="#FF3030">Oo <font color="#49E9BD">tmc <font color="#BA55D3">Signhere Talktome
 * Well I guess that I'm only half an athiest. I really find it hard to believe in Jesus and the bible but I still do believe in God. -- Penubag  06:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In my humble opinion stating both being an atheist and believing in God is contradictory and unreasonable. An atheist denies existence of any gods, hence you're a theist (or at least an agnostic). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.207.79.143 (talk) 17:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for my very first award! :) Gold  fritter  19:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome! enjoy !

Thanks for the help...
Yeah, I reverted your changes, well-meaning though they were. I like to see all of my progress, which is why I like having the reminder that, at one time, I couldn't get my userboxes where I wanted them. Reminds me how far I have come. :) Take care. - EleosPrime  10:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's okay, glad to be of service anyways!

Thanks
I'm glad you liked my page I worked a long time on it! I borrowed some ideas frome you though, like the good image section and that little scrolly thing for your user boxes.-- 0 4 1 7 4 4  02:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's okay if you copied my user page! ;-) I'm actually flattered that you did! You may use any ideas you want from my page! And if you need help with anything, feel free to ask me.( I wished I coulda asked someone when I needed help)-- Penubag  07:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the thoughts, you are too kind! :) At last my patience has paid off!  -- Broken Sphere  21:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You are welcome ;-)


 * I just noticed too that you have 2 "This user absolutly loves lightning and thunder!" userboxes on your front page (1 in personal, 1 in misc.). You really like them that much, huh?  ;)  -- Broken Sphere  22:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, didn't realize that I had 2 of them. Thanks for telling me :). Even though I really do like them, I'll eventually delete one if I get the chance to and if I find a good subsitute userbox.-- Penubag  21:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Congrats
Congratulations on finding my secret page! I started out with this one, and will make a harder one in the future, and have them get harder as I go on ("secret page 2", "secret page 3", etc.). I'll let you know when "secret page 2" goes into effect. Cheers! hmwith talk  13:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I just thought those pictures you made on your "page 2" were great. I wasn't sure how you made them. 22:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
