Wow Rachel, funny I should mention them when they are floating around today---I didn't know that. Maybe I'll go log in and see if I can get a few more of them!
The pictures from last year's goodies show a Polar Plunge poster, sweater, cap, snack and a drink. I guess it will be kinda like the fall thing. I had fun with that. I drove myself nuts trying to get everything. I'd like some kinda of toy and decoration like the corn husk doll and wheat sheath.

Yes chasing down those floating goodies can be fun. I am looking forward to it. They've changed the other seasonal tthings around so the items this year should be different than last. Last year was the first winter fest.

Is anyone in here jcroyts? Brennan got a friends invite from them. I'm going to say no. If it turns out to be one of you guys just let me know in here and send another invite and I'll accept it.

Ha! The Jellybean activity! Out of 6 accounts the jar only had jellybeans in it twice! The other four accounts kept showing it as being empty and when I'd put 0 it told me I was way off! I protest! I even took a picture of it being empty!
A while back and went thru and took all unknowns off my list. I mean I always felt bad when a kid would add me after we played a game so I'd say okay....but then I was thinking...how do I KNOW it's a kid. And okay so I'm not a kid, but there are bad people out there and I know I"m not bad but I don't know about others....so now it's jut my friends, family, and you guys.
Brennan loves to play in the tournament arena and I won't let him accept invitations from anyone. He gets upset about it, but I just don't feel comfortable. I know they can't actually talk on there but I think it's better to be safe than sorry. I go through every week or two and delete anything I don't recognize. So, if I ever accidentally delete anyone I'm sorry. It's not intentional. I'm just watching out for the kid.

don't cry tina... there'll be another chance. and take out is good we had almost take out. we went to the beer tavern and had sandwiches with ellie. that was good.
Hey Tina, I bet having your take out for dinner was worth missing balloon dartz!
I for once actually rememberd to do it! Shockingly enough.
Earlier I was doing the wishing well and I clicked the wish button and it told me that I'd got 0 and used all of my spins.....so I went out and went back in and I got my 5 spins....that was a strange glitch.
I didn't get all 5 turns with the darts on any account. I got 1 each. I went back and read the instructions and they're written like you get 5 turns and 10.00 for each hit.
I got kicked off the site when I was at the employment office and when I came back Miss Kitty told me that I couldn't work at that time.
I did get an email back that they are trying to fix a few things for me.
No, I didn't get that email. But I have read about it. I'm not to sure about that email. It asks for your pet code. Somewhere they said they would never ask for your pet code. That bothers me a bit.

The problem I had is fixed. But, it asks for you to respond so they can close your ticket. It did ask for the pet code but I put in ?? for that. I don't trust sending that.

The address it takes you to is one on the Webkinz site. I would say it is safe but I wouldn't give my code. They say they will still call to fix the problem. It is strange because any problem I've had before I never had to give my code.
Rachel

It's the same. I got an email last week that they were working on it but I checked tonight and it's no better. We can't even rename the rooms. She's stopped playing on it except to open presents and work in her garden. I'm not going to buy he another pet but if her parents do we'll start over.
I'm sure it will get fixed. Is the pet still eating like it was? I haven't sent anything to the account since you said some of the things hadn't shown up. I did send stuff to you to do with whatever.

Not to sound traitorous but I might get one of the new Ty Beanie Babies with a code just to check it out. I have a Shining Star and it doesn't compare to Webkinz--although I like some of the games. My sister just called a bit ago to tell me they are selling them at her store for $5.99 before her discount. So with her discount I'd only pay $3.90 to try one out. Just curious to see what they are like and that's cheaper than a pack of cigs....
Earlier I found a site online that is selling a ton of lil kinz for $5.95. I might pick a few up. I need the pig, although it's $9.95.
I hate that her account is like that Sheri, I mean she must be like one in a thousand or something.

We picked up a tie dyed frog and velvety elephant today in London. We hadn't seen them yet here. They aren't entered into WW. They told us they had the figurines there and people were buying them in massive bulk and sold out almost immediately. Ganz has definitely created a marketing monster.

so, i'm in the hotel in macon, we just got here from dinner, and scott says "we have some computer work, critters to take care of" he's worried! thank you tina for making sure i didn't ahve to worry :wink:
Oooo, the Velvety Elephant looks cute! I really wanted some charms, I think I might get Athena the Love Frog and a charm for Valentines day, but I'm having a hard time FINDING anywhere with charms in stock. She's always sad she can't go in the Charm forest because she watches me go in and do it a lot.
I haven't seen charms anywhere in a long time. I asked the lady at the jewelry store to call me if she gets anymore in. We need 1 more to open all the things in the charm forest. If she gets more I'll pick one up for Athena. I've seen them on the internet for $10 and up. I'm thinking they stopped making them. I guess it creates more of a demand which is what they want.

we went to macon (130 miles west) to meet jeremy's parents. he got us a hotel room with his frequent travel points. he has a gazillion of them because he has to travel 1-2 weeks a month for work.
we went out to dinner, now we are just here. being slugs.
i'm so glad i asked tina to manage our accouts though, because i keep getting bumped from ww.
I will pick up a charm and put it on her account this week, Loz. Jiffy, I was just heading into your garden and got booted. So I came here to see if it was because you were on, too. I just raked seadog's one plant that needed it. People think the charms are not available because of lead. They are made in China. No-one can get new orders in.

I had no clue you were on the road Jiffy.....that's nice that you have a hotel room, sort of like a mini vacation huh?
Rachel---it's ridiculous, the prices I see on the charms IS high online. I mean they are hard to find in most stores period, but I'm not paying $10 for a $3 charm. That's crazy. If you find any let me know and I'll make sure I send you the money for it. She's wanted one forever and ever. Off subject, I called Allison(sister) today and Athena started screaming right away, I want to talk to Aunt Loz, let me talk to Aunt Loz.....I love that, I love being a good, cool aunt that she can't wait to talk to. Then she went on to tell me that she was going to get the Lil Kinz Hippo and Googles. Not sure where she thinks she's getting them because Crackerbarrel where my sis works only has the big ones, no lil kinz at all.
I'm so hoping my raccoon nets me some $$$$ way down the road, THAT would be so cool.

I can send you the money for it if you'd like Tina....that's not a problem at all.....
Earlier I was looking on that Webkinz store site and I got sucked into all the clothes and then I had to tell myself, no Loz, your pets do not need more clothes---although I gotta say they are very, very cute with their clothes on.
I have all of my charms just sitting in a bag. I wouldn't want to give them to a kid. But we never got notice of a recall, either and you figure Ganz would if they were a problem, right?

good luck tina. i went to 2 different stores this week and there aren't any in savannah that i've found. i'm hoping to check here in macon. i'm playing games right now, do i need to garden yet? i haven't looked.
Tina, I would really appreciate it and be happy to send you the money if you can get a charm. He really wants a panda, but would be very happy with anyone he could get. He has the wishing well, w sign, tiny jo, elephant, black and white cat, zingoz and a pig.
The guy at the store we were at today also said he thought it was because of lead paint. I really do think there would have been a massive recall if that was the case. Ganz could get into deep trouble for knowing they contained lead and not recalling them. I don't think they would take that chance. I think they just cut them short to make more of a demand for them.

I never got into the garden, Jiffy. You booted me out before I could check. You probably need to rake something. I will check on the charms. Athena is easy because she has none. But Brennan has some and I would be afraid of doubling up. OK, just read back. I will take notes......

It doesn't matter if it is a double Tina. He would still be very happy to have an 8th one to open all the virtual sets up. He puts the charms on his real stuffed pets. So it wouldn't matter at all if he had 2 the same. I think he actually plays with the stuffed pets more than most people. When we went to London today he took all 43 with us. The entire back seat was covered. He will not leave home without taking atleast an armload with him. There is not way possible he would consider going to sleep without every last one in the bed with him.

I have it written down, Rachel and I will look for a panda and if not then something he doesn't have already. I can also put them right into the account if you would like? The florist with the charms is closed on Sundays or I would head out tomorrow. I bet they are closed on Monday as well, but I could call to find out.

I didn't think about it not counting doubles. I guess that makes sense. You can just put it in. Either way, it doesn't matter. Just let me know how much to send you. Can you get figures where you are? I could send you one of those for a charm if you like.

i got in and gardened. got a great haul too, each of the ripe strawberries were 5, 3 corns, a pumpkin, a watermelon, and 2 cabbages but it was so nice to know you did the dailies and stuff!
Cool, Jiffy. It is fun for me. I enjoy it. Rachel, I have to watch my budget for a while. Gas prices are killing me here. And food and ....... They will arrive here sometime and I will skim off a few bucks here and there to get what I want. But thank you very much.

Well my sister called me with a Ty 2.0 code. I'm playing now--for the price it's okay, the games are not too bad but there aren't as many as Webkinz. I haven't done much yet, but they are only like $5, she got it for $3.
Weird thing is someone on there is already Avongirl(athena) & Avongirl1. I think the cutest thing was when you activate it they get zapped by lightening and brought to life....they have a lightening bolt on the plush animals too.
Wow, I feel traitorous discussing it....Webkinz is still my favorite. I think they have it right.
I haven't done too much other than games, they do have a chat....like Webkinz---with freestyle and another just with prescripted stuff. So far I'd put it in the middle of Webkinz and shining stars....as far as kid like stuff goes.
When you get a real charm you can get five forest charms and open the gift box that is there for $50. The second charm with the 5 forest charms opens to $100. 3rd is $250, 4th is 500. After that you start getting some other things for finding all of the forest charms in each section like a fairy topiary, wall paper and flooring. When you unlock them all you get a tiara. When you first get real charms and register them, the forst ones give you money in your account. The sixteenth, twentyfourth give you things like a fairy fountain, and a grand charmling tree. You can kind of see some of that stuff in your charm box if you click on the lowest tab called charm bonuses.

There is a cloak that matches, Patunia. And shoes and glasses. I can't wait for Series2 cards to show up at a lucky business near me. I'm actually tucking away some funds for those and the figures. How funny is that? A savings account just for webkinz!
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
not unusual to set aside funds for webkinz here! i found out pretty quick little sis is a shopaholic...big time. so when we get around the webkinz stuff, i have to put my "bad-cop" personna on and say firmly, "no, tracy, you can only have one" or "none today, we are not here to buy those, we need such and such today" she actually pitched a hissy fit one time in the store and i turned around and walked off without her. she put the forbidden stuff back and came and apologised all teary, cuz she made me mad. but it never happened again. just testing i guess. but there's no sense in us both being webkinz nuts. i do buy the odd pack of trading cards and open them when she ain't around!!! lol. the other day we got 3 codes on one of the new series cards....each one was for cash, we got 1964kc off that one card!!! yay.(tracy would rather see gift items instead of the cash though!!!) they have the love frogs at hallmark...i don't know if i want one or not. hmmmmmmm this is all cindy's fault!!!! ha ha ha!
The love frog pond is kind of cool. But I would have to buy another yard. No new pets around here lately. Cal. never did get the bug like the rest of the country did. A lot of retailers are dropping out.

I emailed again tonight about Ally's account. I thought I'd try one more time.
I have 28 pets (about half virtual) on three accounts and four set aside to register in their time, Sheri. I'm good for pets I think. I'm just waiting for series 2 cards and figurines to show up in my area. If I see a love frog or something, I might pick one up. I hope Ally's account gets fixed soon. I can send her more stuff. I'm ready for a new room theme to come out.
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
the frogs are all over the place here. i'll pick up any for anyone who wants to send the money.
and, i'm not really home, i was just killing time while i was waiting on a phone call. got it, so i'll be out of here and in my car in less than 5 minutes
yeah, they are more expensive there. They are $16.50 at Limited and $13 at Hallmark. I'll keep an eye out at Hallmark for you. i'll let you know if they get them.

How do you invite friends to play? I changed mine and Colbys zone to blue but he's still not showing up as in the same zone as me. Everyone on my list has a red smiley face. I can't get the girls or Colby to change even though I went to their sites and changed their zone.
I believe daily activities freezes up on everyone. The kitchen sinks now store items. The ones that didn't before. I had one that did already. There is a new theme in the new items in the W-shop. Some of it is cute.

but when you do get in, if you go to your bathroom sink, it should open and give you options for brushing teeth, washing, brushing hair. Cool.
Ooooo, I've said forever that the sink should at least let you wash your hands to show kids good hygiene, that is too cool! Can't wait to check out the new stuff too! So much for being on a saving spree!
well it was only inconvenient having to go thru the arcade to get to the wishing well and wheel of wow, seems everything else is working from the things to do menu, my pets, gem hunt, new survey today, quizzy's corner. like the new theme. just refreshing to see something different, huh? the kid's got her birthday today, so she gets to put her new figurines into her rooms.. i will take screenshot for ya! long day ahead....wonder whats on the hourly list today??? hmmmmm. missed the big button last nite, had pottery class and it was just so nice to be doing something just for me, i completely spaced my webbies....bad, pat, bad!!! ha ha ha
