I would go for AAA's prize everyday if you are able and buy Abigails. Typically the Day and Date prize and AAA's prize for beating him everyday at the end of the event can go for quite A LOT.
I mean in TNT's defense, DD is a normal event that goes on every year, it'd be annoying for them to NOT do it and I for one would be extremely disappointed for them to not do it. As hrtbrk said, Wraith Resurgence is nearly non-existent so that's not taking much bandwidth and I mean.... Faerie Quests happen every day, it's a site feature that happens to at least one person everyday, just cause we have guaranteed ones I don't think it makes it much of a difference xD TNT has been messing up a lot with the Resurgence and glitches etc, but keeping Daily Dare going was not one, good for them :)

hi! recently joined neopets again, I played when I was a child! My favorite neopet then was a gelert and I always wanted a baby one which is much more attainable now lol
I started playing about 6 months ago honestly to procrastinate from school work.. now I'm graduating and I'll have to find something else to put off to keep playing jk I'm pretty addicted I've played religiously pretty much since I rejoined.
Anyways I really just want to become part of the avatar lending program which is why I'm introducing myself so here goes nothing
 
Hi
I'm obsessed with neopets and I'm glad there is a big, welcoming, community because none of my friends in real life would ever play with me. My hobbies irl include backyard chickens, gardening, and reading. My goals on neopets right now are mainly working on my stamps, avatars, and trophies. (I think I was better at the games as a kid lol) Anyways hello world! 
 

Lol!! I am totally with you! I have finals right now and barely have time for sleep even!! But the daily dare is my favorite!!

Sway it is then! I'll drink the cocoa.
*goes off to join*

That's awesome! I almost had the same experience. I was looking at the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop and saw a Magical Chia Pop selling for around 15k if I recall correctly. However, me being the noob that I was decided to look it up first since I was poor at the time and could not afford 15k on a whim. So because of my hesitation I missed out on a r99 item. I'll get it next time I just know it! Anyway congrats on your r99 item grab. :)

I'm very happy with the CC boons. The avatar one is great because it allows you to get the other korbat - royal avatar that you are missing as before you could only get one or the other depending on the gender of your account. Sadly, I did not receive the royal avatar but am still happy with the mutant graveyard of doom II avatar since I am not very good at that game. I'm also very happy that we can receive retired site themes. I'm hoping the stat boost is pretty good because I'm tired of my pet not being able to beat any enemy on hard mode (this upset me because I've gotten every wraith resurgence plot achievement except the hard mode battledome ones).

The items you gave to arctic_fox790 were neither accepted nor rejected within the 48 hours time limit and have been returned to your inventory.
 
I've tried sending them again. I hope you'll be online this time

I wink with my right eye by default for some reason, but I can wink equally well with both eyes. I am left handed when I write and use eating utensils, but I do most other things with my right hand, such as using a computer mouse, throwing, holding a hockey stick, holding a baseball bat, etc. However, I can not write with my right hand AT ALL. lol

I would like to say that my assumption in my answer was that the child has expressed an interest in wearing makeup.  You should never forbid something that they haven't asked to do.  That just gives it the added lure of the forbidden.  Human nature is perverse.  There are a lot of instances of people, especially teenagers, doing something just because they've been told not to.  Often they'd never have even considered it if not for being told not to.
I also think that the conversation about makeup should include what prompted the child to ask about makeup or try it on their own.  Is it like @Mouseykins mentioned with her small children, where it's a thing of "Mommy wears makeup, and I want to be like Mommy, therefore I want to wear makeup"?  If so, maybe talk about when and why Mommy wears makeup.  Is it a thing where they've seen someone (especially someone their age) wearing stage makeup?  If so, explain the purpose of stage makeup as part of a costume, and how it differs from the kind of makeup they may see adults wearing out in the world.  Is it where they are being bullied or are just insecure about themselves, and they want to use makeup to hide?  If so, talk about that root cause, and help develop ways to fix the problem in the long run, not just cover it with makeup.  

^This.
I think wearing make-up is fine, although I do agree with @twilight790 that it perpetuates sexism, since it's become so ingrained in our society that wearing make-up equals being more beautiful (something I personally don't always think is the case), but only for women; whereas the exact opposite is said for guys (which I also disagree with - I've definitely had crushes on guys who wore eyeliner). So I guess my point is that anyone, regardless of gender, should be able to wear make-up, or not wear make-up, without getting bullied. (But I'm not naïve enough to think that's possible. A girl can dream though.)
I really think it all depends on the situation, and on the person. I'm 28 and I still have never worn concealer or foundation. I'm far too lazy to find the correct shade and take the time to apply it each day, and I also don't really see the point. I tend to wear a little eyeliner (the pencil kind, not the liquid - I honestly don't know how people successfully apply that, it always gets on my cheek, in my eyebrows and in my eye, instead of underneath it) and maybe some mascara if I'm going to a party. And I wouldn't even call myself a tomboy - I have long blond hair and wear dresses quite frequently these days.
When it comes to bullying though, I understand why wearing make-up would make someone feel more confident, and that's great, but I think it's also important to improve that confidence through other means, to make sure the confidence is more than skin-deep. And I much prefer - although I know this isn't always [understatement] realistic - to punish the bullies/try to teach them to be better, instead of letting the victim carry the burden.

I only use makeup on very special occasions. It's just too much work for me and I don't even think it's making me look more beautiful. I've never used it to go to school, except for some nail polish when I was in college. The only times I used heavy makeup was for a halloween party (I made my face even whiter than it naturally is). Nowadays I haven't used any makeup, not even the nail polish since it's being ruined the moment I am at work (I work with acetone a lot). I've never really cared about how I look, still don't, so I'll only wear it when I feel like it and want to match how my face looks with my clothes (usually to get a better goth look).
As for kids, I don't think they should wear it at all. Little kids can play with it sometimes, that's fine. Or they can be allowed some lipstick on a special occasion. Once they get to their teens I still think they shouldn't wear it to go to school. Once they turn like 16 I would let them decide for themselves but to me it's silly to "look beautiful". You are who you are, makeup isn't going to change that. And I'm not talking about inner beauty. But like ladycanary, I too can be considered half a tomboy, so maybe that's why I don't care about it at all.

I'm joining the Sway. It is the last avatar I need lol

The befriending dome was this year's april fool's day joke. So yes, it is a joke and is not real :)

I got an Eventide paintbrush in a random event one time. I was so excited! I had never even had over 2 million np until I got and sold that.

There is a darigan pteri, Misoner, that is 644 days old today. Hurry and grab the avatar!  http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Misoner

Congratulations! I literally just started my first real neoquest game yesterday. I only played it one other time when I was younger and was too lazy to look up a guide. I was totally confused and I kept losing. Lol.

I actually just started going to the symol hole daily about two months ago and I recently got a symol lolly and the avatar. I actually posted about it here on TDN forums. Keep trying and good luck!

I agree with firaplays and rraspberry. I have learned both persistence and saving/goal-setting from neopets. I am an avatar collector as well and I have found that, when going for game avatars, trophies, or high scores, persistence is key. I have learned not to give up and to keep trying until you get it (taking breaks of course). It is possible (even though it seems impossible)! As far as saving, I finally have the most np that I have ever had in my history of playing neopets. I learned how to run a successful shop and I have been doing my dailies every day. It really adds up. 

Today my pile of soot, "Your Ad Here", brought me a symol lolly. After months of visiting the symol hole daily, I have finally obtained the symol avatar and I also got a treat to sell in my shop for a nice profit. Yay! :D
