I'm having good luck now. Got the Negg of Marble three days in a row. Sells for about 160,000. I bought one for my gallery during the first few days of this, so into my shop they go.

Wow lots to reply to today! That's good! I'm glad you're at least able to get outside and get some fresh air. I know it's not the same but at least it's something. I just keep thinking that things could be worse and that gives me a glimmer of hope. Personally I'm trying not to stress about things so much, but at times it's hard and it doesn't help that I'm not sleeping that great. Well, more so not sleeping at appropriate hours. My in-laws are itching to see their grandkids and I had to send my husband out to their place by himself to get them to not come out here. My husband fixed the quad so it was a necessary trip for him. I'm thankful for the time we get to spend together as a family. Plus Kai loves that we're home so he can get all the attention he wants. He's a big attention suck! I haven't heard of protests or anything like that here yet and I hope people don't get that stupid. I know times are tough but at least our government is trying to help people by allowing those with income losses to apply for a relief benefit. I'm glad they didn't insist on being stubborn. I'm just getting really sick of the 8 pm phone call announcing they're coming out the next day. I'm not a cat person. Dogs are more my thing. My 8yo saw your cat gif and wouldn't let me scroll down to keep reading for probably a good 5 minutes lol. I think consistency is key these days and your city should have a notice up somewhere online stating that. I'm glad the officer decided to give you a mask instead of fining you. For some things, I think they should issue a "warning" that way repeatedly stupid people who do not care about the rules are the ones being fined instead of people like you who are just trying to get things they need and are unaware of the current rules. Masks here are becoming recommended and I'm like why now. Why weren't they recommended when the virus first landed in Canada? They would have kept asymptomatic people from coughing, sneezing and breathing on people while out in public. That is absolutely horrid that they are being forced to do that! It's such a complete turn of events, isn't it? To me, it doesn't make any sense, why now instead of when the virus was first encountered in our areas. A friend of mine has made homemade masks and I think she's selling them to people in the area that need them or want them for venturing out. I may end up making some for ourselves, just in case they become mandatory. That way the kids and everyone has one in case we need to go somewhere with the kids. No way am I wearing one in my yard though. Our yard is completely fenced in and surrounded by a hedge so we are isolated. Plus people can go walk on the street like they usually do or go walk on the other side of the street and save Kai from barking at them so much lol. That worries me to Hanso. If people think they're safe because of the loosened restrictions we're just going to end up back at square one. Even if restrictions are loosened here I'm not going to immediately rush out and have a party with friends or playdates. Even if they decide to reopen schools this year, my daughter will not be going back. I don't care if all her friends are. I won't allow her to go back to school until I think it's safe for her to do so. Her teacher knows I can handle the homeschool learning approach with her since I've been doing it for 3 years now with her older sister. As I say, Stupidity is contagious. Well, this virus is contagious and if people remain stupid about things, then, of course, we'll see at least a 2nd wave of this virus. I've heard that the virus has possibly mutated already. That's a scary thought for those that have had it to think they could potentially get it again when they assumed they now have immunity towards it. I LOVE that analogy!! It is so true and perfect for this situation!

Sure, that's why I said if I would start coughing I'd stay at home. But at the moment, except for the headache which is really local above my right eye, all the symptoms go away when I take my anti histamine or when I'm in the shower. Even in the car, with filtered air, there aren't any symptoms. I'm taking more anti histamine pills now than I normally do just to make sure I'm not mixing it up with COVID symptoms while at the same time I'm trying not to go overkill in anti histamine so my body can still react when there is a problem, since anti histamine basically shuts down your immune system telling your body everything is fine. I really am trying to be as careful as I can be, not just dismissing it. I keep "checking" myself. If at one point the anti histamine wouldn't open up my nose I would go straight home or stay at home! I'm not taking any risk or being one of those ppl that say "it's just a flu". I have hay fever since I was about 16 or so (always thought it was a cold until I got tested a few years ago). Anti histamine sure has been my spring friend since about 8 years ago or so

Looks like someone from TDN got his wish again!

The ray is fired at randomsilliness... ... and he changes colour to Invisible!!

my first thought was ... Peopha would look in this wig Dress To Impress confirmed it

Thanks, I spit out my tea on my screen... I mean, people need to realise that we will have restrictions in place until a vaccine becomes available. Unless you live in a country were your government wants you to die... The mask thing has baffled me too. They are essential for healthcare workers but to everybody else they are useless? Because.... We don't know how to use them properly or they give a false sense of security. I think both those arguments are crap. Masks remind us that it is not a normal spring day at the park, and we could all learn how to use them properly. @Hanso That's really scary! Are you able to make your own masks? I've used this one and this no sew one using a t-shirt

-_____- The way things are going it seems almost inevitable that there'll be a second wave of infection everywhere, created solely by our own stupidity. I can see why this nonsense in the media is happening with the masks, I mean it's all very well for a government to make mask-wearing mandatory, but that doesn't suddenly make masks appear out of thin air, does it. So people having to make their own is the gonna be the only option in some cases. But it's sheer lunacy. It's that weird "it's better than nothing" mentality, isn't it. But it really isn't better than nothing, is it... The governments know the hospitals and other frontline workers don't have enough masks, so to turn around and say everyone has to wear them? Ok, cool... I saw this caption on Instagram yesterday and it really was an excellent analogy for so many foolish peoples' mindsets right now. Saying the curve is flattening so we should be be able to go out again now is like saying the parachute's slowed our rate of descent down so we can take it off now.

Not me >< Not a fan of Blumaroos. The ray is fired at Critoh... ... and he changes colour to Pink!! That's a cute one! Might dress it up if it doesn't change again soon. Pity that it's male now.

Another great round! Thanks for entering, everyone, and congrats to our winners! The info on next round's theme can be found in this thread.

You're welcome I'm just glad I'm not the only one that can sit and watch it for ages.

@Mouseykins That honestly just made my morning lol

I ended up going into Faerieland too, for some reason the clue just instantly made me think that.

Current Scratchcard Jackpot : 756275 NP!!! The Kiosk Wocky says 'Wahey! You have won!!!' YOUR PRIZE : A rare artifact of Terror Mountain! Firstly yay, my habit of using the shape of my initial as a scratching template finally paid off, lol. But rare artifact huh?? This is gonna be a snowballl isn't it... *checks inventory* OH! An actual rare thing! A CC 4-pointer too. So thanks for the scratchcard, Snowy!

*hands over a soft wipe for your screen* You said it right there, until we have a vaccine we will have restrictions or at least we should if our governments are smart about things. I don't get the mask thing either it's just one of those things I have to shake my head at all the time. Funny Story to Lighten Things Up: Kai possibly has an ear infection in his right ear. Friday I sent my hubby to the vet to pick up a cleaning solution for Kai. I cleaned Kai's right ear first and as I was wiping out his ear canal this big boy was groaning in enjoyment. He absolutely enjoyed it! I was probably rubbing an itchy spot in his ear so it felt good. I go to do his left ear, which isn't showing signs of infection but I wanted to clean it anyways. Dad had to hold him a bit so I could apply the solution. I tried tonight and he ran away from me and leapt onto my Mr. almost sitting on him. Looks like this will be a two person job and probably best to do it in the morning when he's still sleepy. I just thought it was funny how a bottle of solution made him run like that. It does have alcohol in it so maybe it irritated and stung his ear but he never yelped or anything and handled it very well. I even tried sitting on his back as he was laying down, he got up and just about took me with him! I don't put my weight on his back when I do sit on him, that's distributed on my knees which are on the floor so I'm not hurting Kai.

Ah! Today's clue is better, had me thinking they'd lost their minds and written one for pre-crash Faerieland. I'm going for the Charming one today with its two items that will rise in value, so let us see if it gives me a comb! OH, nearly forgot about the mechanical negg. Got a "willow" tree from it yesterday. It's on the background item layer which means I can't hang my boho lounger from it, but it's pretty nice. The flowers on it are very random - someone crossbred a willow with an hibiscus by the look of it xD - but its drapiness makes it useful if you want to conceal part of a background to make it more useable for a particular look. Today's item Love the colour, withholding judgement about how it's going to look (she says) but the way the front goes up like that... I'm not hopeful. Full disclosure here, I KNEW it wasn't going to look good on a Kacheek, but you can see the willow's pretty nice! Let's do a bit more modelling... Oh, hello! Sexy librarian vibe? I really like that! I especially like how there's no arguing with Cora's right ear! Can Gen pull it off too... Looks pretty good on her too, but Cora's totally rocking it. These two's skintones work really well with the blue which is awesome.

I'm sorry that happened to you today, that sounds really scary. You did your best with the research, and I'm really glad the cop was understanding. Please keep safe.

I'm a returning player, so this is my first Negg Hunt in awhile. (Made a new account to play on). I took a look into previous clues, cause I had no idea what they were -- these years do seem a lot easier.

Agreed! I feel like this year's clues are a lot easier comparing to previous years.

She found me at the Tombola and asked for Haunted Diary which I found in my SDB

Cheetahs are my all-time favorite. That counts as a cat, right?

What worries me the most is that now the government is recommending people to use homemade face masks, even though up until two weeks ago they were advising against them because they simply don't work. Newspapers that were giving detailed explanations as to why using them is pointless are now giving detailed tutorials on how to make them. All because the government wants to slowly transition out of the quarantine and let people out little by little. But they're going about it the wrong way. People are gonna go out thinking they are safe, get infected, and infect others in turn. It really is a mess.

I'm not sure we can be friends any more! Go for it, make them as masculine as you can! Boys can totally rock pink.

@Hanso Wow that IS scary, but so good of the cop to help you rather than punish. I worry about masks becoming mandatory here for the same reasons.

Something a bit scary happened to me yesterday. I was running out of food so I had to go to the supermarket, but a) I didn't have a face mask, since they are impossible to find these days and pharmacies have run out of stock b) I wasn't sure whether or not masks were already mandatory in my city. In some cities they are, in some others they aren't (things have been very inconsistent in my country). So I look for info on the internet and find a lot of contradictory information, but there is one site that looks trustworthy and says that masks are gonna be made mandatory on Monday. Sweet, that means I'm safe. Or does it. Turns out that site had false information and masks were made mandatory a couple of days ago. So as soon as I went out a cop stopped me and threatened to give me a fine of almost a hundred dollars. I explained my situation to him and he let me go and even gave me a disposable face mask, but still, it was really scary.

I`m so happy I joined the TDN forums and get a chance to participate in the 100th round of The Runway! Ever since I joined, I`ve had so much fun entering every week (with a couple of exceptions) and it`s a thrill to pay attention to the poll to see how my entry does every week. I always look forward to seeing a new theme posted, and to see how people interpret it! You guys impress me time and time again, with your creativity, variation and customization skills! Here`s to 100 more!

@jellysundae Hehe, gotta love cats. ♥ I have more vids/gifs of cats I'd like to ever admit. <.< At least it's something to do a lil during quarantine.

People are calling for it here too (but not with guns like the utter morons in the US!), but the government are adamantly saying NO. The opposition keeps banging on about the need for an exit strategy and the government being a failure for not having one, but that's 100% politicising the issue, stupid idiots. -.- I just don't understand how people can be throwing fits demanding loosening of restrictions when the death tolls continue to climb, it's like we're existing in two separate worlds. @.@ I'm glad things are mostly good with your in-laws, hopefully it stays that way! The time is coming closer when I'm going to have to set foot outside again and go and buy groceries, not looking forward to that, but fingers crossed it goes without a hitch, then I won't feel so anxious about the next time. @Ennoshima I am completely distracted by your sig.

Yes, I am able to go outside on my lawn, and walks are legal here too --just social distancing and mask laws. It's been hard to even want to do that, just because deep in me I know it's still all I can do, and even with that, I still know the state of the world around me due to the virus. I know it sounds maybe selfish, or ungrateful -- but I assure that's not what I mean at all! Thank you for telling me about what you're doing, it gives me hope knowing others are feeling the same, and finding ways to cope with how everything is. I am homesick because I am away from my family, and I don't know when I'll be able to fly out to visit them again. We've been cleaning the house on and off, my boyfriend and I, and doing outside work when it's not too hot, or rainy. It's hard to stay coped up all the time, and I can only imagine more so with bigger families, and I wish you the best in all this -- and more peaceful times, too.

Well look at that, one good thing to come from 'rona's prolonged visit is people rediscovering Neopets. It's definitely going to be providing a LOT of comfort for thousands of people right now, and that gives me big blanket-sized warm fuzzies.

Posting this in here because it's so relevant, lol. @Yuiina sent me an NM last month and I blanked entirely on the last bit of it. Just read that bit, today, lol. Checking it out now and I'm thinking "it's probably been changed by now," and then I saw it and I'm pretty sure it probably hasn't and I understood immediately what Yuiina meant. I'd have been very proud of myself if I'd come up with this as an entry for this round! The Meepit as a petpet is just the icing on the cake with this pet. Don't drink the Kool Aid! Thank you for sharing this with me, and I'm glad I eventually saw it!

@jellysundae Even scarier are front line health staff reusing one use PPE.
