This is the un-official Chatty Cathy Collectors' Creed. If you collect Chatty, and think you may be addicted, please read and laugh.
I must give credit to the author, Karen V., who had the Chatty insight to write this.
Here goes:
We are currently accepting members into the newly formed Chattyaholics Club (CC).
If you would like to be a charter member, please read the following. However, beware that you must be able to answer YES to 4 of the 8 following questions or your membership application will be "Charmingly" denied.
Membership Application questions:
1. Do you visit this board (the AOL Chatty Cathy Message board, or visit a web site about Chatty) more than one time a day???????
2. Do you have uncontrollable urges to buy a Chatty?
3. Do you think about Chatty Cathy family dolls more than one time a day?
4. Do you ever BEG or "Whine" as a a method of aquiring Chatty family dolls?
5. Do you ever buy a Chatty family doll with money needed for paying BILLS?
6. Do you post the same ad for similar Chatty family items over and over again??
7. Do you ever dream about Chatty Family dolls?
8. Do you attend Chatty Cathy chats more than once a week?
If you have answered YES to four or more of these questions, you can become a Chattyaholic charter member. Your next step will be to publicly announce that you are a Chattyaholic and would like to become a member. Don't worry this is not a club focused on learning how to do something FOOLISH like sell your whole Chatty Cathy Collection or to buy fewer Chattys.
No!!!!
This is a Premier Chatty Support group focused on How to FEED THIS CHATTY ADDICTION with more and more Chatty Cathy Family dolls. We will have meetings with topics such as "How To Finally Get That Chatty Cathy Item We Have Always Wanted?" and "Who May Have That Item and How To Successfully Beg Them For It?" We need to understand that Chatty Begging is a NEGOTIATING skill that must be adequately learned to aquire the Chatty Family dolls you want. We
do have a few people who frequent the AOL CC Message board who have some very good Begging techniques and maybe they will volunteer to speak to us at our first meeting. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Right Melissa. For those of you who don't know, Melissa received her doctorate degree in Whining about three years ago. I think she has really mastered her field.
So let it out to all of CYBERSPACE that you are a Chattyaholic and Let's Work Together to FEED the ADDICTION!!!!
