Hello Addicts,
Well December has gotten off to a great start here in BGADDICTS. I would like to take this time to, ”Welcome” all our new members. I hope you found a BG home here with us. Take some time to really look at the Main Page it has a lot of information there and what’s going on – who’s who -- how to do things etc. Even a LINK directly to the ROOM!!

Also send me a picture for the Gallery, and your birth-date for the monthly Birthday announcements. I will add it for you. Bhappy2bhere@hotmail.com

For those of the Jewish Faith, “Hanukkah” begins Dec 15th. May your “Celebration of Light and Renewal” be joyous.

We have amongst us a New Hostess, EJsMom92496 – EJ is a well-seasoned Hostess and will bring much fun to the games here Addicts, so join in a few and have some fun!!!

Another well-deserved Promotion happened Dec 7th Sassie0077 accepted the TD Manager Position and will be an asset to the Host’s and Admin alike. Welcome aboard.

If you would like to Host here at “Addicts” please fill out an application. We are always looking for good Host’s. Never Hosted? Not a problem we will teach you, it is easy, fun and helps you earn Buxs while you host.

“Birthday Tourneys” once a month for those having a Birthday in that month!!!! One Birthday Bash for the entire group born in the month!!! Working out the kinks and times etc. So watch the Birthday box for the time of the event – come out and celebrate some fun with good friends!!!

Most Ladders for the Gold Contest was won by TDGareyply !!!!! Didn’t take him long at all !!!! Next Contest has been secretly underway since Dec 1, the most “TOURNEY WINS” between Dec 1st through the 31st. Remember Premium Members are excluded from these.

Another “Race for the Gold” for our Host’s who don’t have a Premium Membership for the “Most Hosted in the month of December”. So get busy!!!

It is with a sadden heart, when I learned only today that a friend and Addicts Member, has passed away, “UrWhatUDo” died this week. She had been sick and the computer and her on-line friends were very dear to her, she loved backgammon and belonged on many leagues. She will be missed by many. May she rest in peace.

Lately again we have tons and tons of Non-Members who, Whine -- Bad-Mouth -- have Nasty Names -- Bad mouth Leagues -- Americans.. I would like to encourage you all to SAY NOTHING !! If they are offensive to you; Simply Report and Mute they will go away as long as we don't give them what they want ATTENTION !!! You don't need to announce what you have done. If you don't know how to Report just click on their name go to Report, and follow the directions there. Remember we are here to have Fun they aren't!!!
