Hello. I've  found this site while looking for interactive games and I have to say I'm really liking it so far. Anyways, I'm here to meet some of you guys since I'll probably be sticking around for a while. How do you do?

Welcome. :)

I do very well. How bout you?

Doing just about fine. c: Nice dragon.

Thank you. :D Took me around 10 hours to do. Probably would have turned out better if I hadn't been using the really old version of photoshop. (Adobe CS2 - where I believe they've come out with CS10 already, or something like that)

You draw?

Just about any creative activity that does not require me to be active. Drawing, writing, composing, singing, a couple others. Not so great at just about anything else. (I've burnt Mac&Cheese. That takes some serious skills to do. X_x)

Mac & cheese can't be that hard to cook.

It's the easiest thing you can cook - premade noodle in a box, you put in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain it, toss the dry noodles back into the pot, add in butter, the powder cheese that comes in the box, and milk. The fact that I burned it, well, doesn't reflect very well on my cooking abilities. >_<'

You put milk in mac and cheese?

You're supposed to. I think it's around 1/4 of a cup. I'd have to check the box to confirm the amount.

Yes. After you boil the pasta, you strain the water off, put it back in the pot, pour in 1/4 cup of milk, then add the cheese powder.

Fine.

Get a box of regular macaroni, cook it, and make your own sauce with milk, flour, and cheese.

Who knew that macaroni and cheese was so complicated.

Kraft?

Creators of the most common macaroni and cheese product in America.

Oh yeah...I think I've seen that before. Do they only make mac and cheese?

Just going to say it: I hate Kraft mac and cheese. I don't care how popular it is, that stuff is awful. If I want mac and cheese, I make pasta and melt cheese on it in the microwave. Not really mac and cheese, but better than Kraft. 

*braces self for hate*

Kraft is bad, but melting cheese on pasta is worse. You should at least make a proper cheese sauce.

American student checking in here -- Ramen still fuels my soul.

Hey, I'm an American and I fully acknowledge powdered cheese is crap, but if you're poor... well...

Well, at least we don't have to worry about entire meals getting caught in our mangled dental work.

Wouldn't dull foods, if anything, enhance one's sense of taste?

That's insulting! I have never eating pre-packaged food IN MY LIFE.

Don't know why you'd expect much, if any, retaliation. It's not the worst thing ever, but there really are so many better alternatives.

Powdered cheese or even that packaged solid stuff could never compete with homemade. Well, it can compete, but it won't win.

When you make it from scratch, you can use any melt-able cheese you like and throw a few little extra things in very easily.

I mean, burning something over a "burner" can't be that big a blunder.

Your flagrant pyromania doesn't justify ruining every single piece of food you touch.

Greetings from some Scottish person currently living in the U.S. whom you do not know. I'm doing quite well, thank you. And you?

Sorry. I had to sleep, because it was midnight over here. Anyways, I'm doing okay so far.

Damn good. :)

Anyway, welcome to CYS. If you need anything in particular, feel free to PM me. I will do my best to help.

Thank you :D

Er, how do you PM someone? '-.-

1) Click on their username

2) Once you're at their profile page, look to the top far right. There should be a box full of various information - join date, last time online, point history.

3) At the bottom of the box, there will either be one or two options; send message or challenge to a duel, or just send message. (that depends on whether or not the user allows duels.) 

I believe it's pretty obvious what to do from there. ^_^

Wow thank you! I've never expected the link to be there.

Once you start learning the various usernames, it may become easier go to 

1) My Stuff
--Messages

2) Click on send a new message, top right.

There, you'll have to type in the username of the person you want to send it to.

Spiraly!

Rico-y!

Welcome to the site.

Thank you.

Hello and Welcome!

Hello and thanks for the welcome.

It is, in fact, a thing.

Milk is a major component of cheese, and of cheese sauce, sooo... yeah, it's a thing. Every time you have eaten Mac and Cheese, you have eaten a dish made with milk. :P

Welcome! Nice to see more fresh faces around here. Feel free to dive into the many topics happening in the forums, and good luck with any future stories you may write.

*tips fedora* Welcome, welcome, welcome. I hope you enjoy it here!

But are you sure it's a fedora?

e.g. Trilby.

...unless you're trying to imply fedoras are brand-name products.

Trilby?

Different styles of hats that are commonly confused.

Ahhhh. OK.

Hi, stumbled on this site for looking for some interactive story? cut from a same cloth with me eh? I'm fine and well met :)
