Distinguishing Personality Traits Honeybunches says, "Sabrina is an 11 year-old, 9 lb. maltese who thinks she is still a puppy. She is very sensitive about how her daddy and I are feeling and tends to snuggle close if one of us does not feel well. She is very smart in the way she responds to us--sitting down means 'NO' and spinning in a circle means 'YES'." Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Topic: Chat Abuse
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:29 PM EDTBullies and rude people are a fact of life, online and in the real world. Thankfully they can be a lot easier to handle online if you use the tools available to you. We take chat abuse very seriously here at Gamesville and are always looking to provide a clean and hospitable environment for members to enjoy our games. When you encounter anyone being abusive in chat:
We've always found that the best way to prevent inappropriate behavior is to be as friendly welcoming as possible to new players and living by the golden rule. Here are two really important reasons to welcome new players into the Gamesville community:

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 9:21 AM EDTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Yooperfly of Munising, MI. Meet her little one, Tuff. Distinguishing Personality Traits Yooperfly says, "Tuff is my 4 year old miniature dachshund, weighing in at 8 1/2 pounds soaking wet. He is extremely affectionate and curious. He also is quite meticulous--he knows exactly where and how everything should be. If he finds something that is out of place or doesn't look quite right he will circle it barking loudly until someone returns it to its rightful place. Although he considers himself to be 10 feet tall and bullet-proof, he does have one fear--he is petrified of feathers." Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Topic: Recipedia
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:57 PM EDTToday's recipie comes to us by Gamesviller Flobow, who loves creating her delicious Sausage Pie for friends and family. A little tip from her on this unique dish: "The pie gets better if you don't eat all of it the first day and costs a fraction of what a whole pizza would buy you. It's just as good for the money, if not better." Here's her creation: Sausage Pie
Pat the meat flat in a pie pan and add spices. Cook at 350 until the meat is brown. Pour off any grease. Add your cheese and top off with your chopped mushrooms, onions, green peppers and then put your biscuit dough on top. Flatten each biscuit before adding them and slightly connect the edges. Bake per biscuit can directions. Serves 6 to 8. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: Up to 1 hour (depending on biscuit instructions)
