-bites an apple and wanders off- boom

I beat Chadley today in Kiko Racing...it went something like this...

Starts game

Waits for the Kiko to move

CRUSHES THE BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME AND JUST DOES A BATTLE CRY WITH EYES CLOSED!!! "AHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Smashes the space bar to fire the little gun thing and that moves you through the stages of which there were apparently 3

Opens one eye....then the other...score of 576...blinks

"Well...wasn't that special! Win!"

On the advice of Angelo, took my score to the Neoboards, found a partner, sent the score and BOOM...4 wins against Chadley so far! Woo hoo!

.....

I like to move it...in my pants!

Thanks for this advice. I usually read these threads first but somehow forgot. I'm not good at the "button" games (as compared to mouse games). I settled for the Abigail score, partly because I'd never played this before. However, I also noticed that the Abigail Team prize, the Seeking Arrow, may be worth more. Does anyone know why?

 

 

The Seeking Arrow is a Battledome weapon. It's single use but does 15 icons of damage from what I've seen on the Neoboards. Not a lot of people took the Abigail score so there will be a limited supply of them that will grow smaller over time so..I guess that's the cause for the crazy price. It may come down for a while but as they are used up in the Battledome they'll get more expensive again as time goes by.

Liked all the posts it would allow me. Thanks to you all. Yep, everything is better these days, I'm being taken care of by a great team of doctors and my family have been health Gestapo ever since it happened. They won't let me have anything good to eat! They took away the bacon and almost took away my coffee too until I proved it was okay by showing them an article in the American heart association website plus a confirmation from my cardiologist that proved coffee is actually GOOD for your heart! XD I'll be starting cardiac rehab soon which will help, everything that can be done is being done, it will be a slow process but it's all worth it. I'm just grateful for every day now, I shouldn't be here so, every single day is a gift.  

@casperiscaptain - Keep an eye on that defect. I didn't take mine seriously and overlooked all kinds of warning signs not knowing what was happening. Shortness of breath, constant fatigue, pain in your neck, jaw, shoulders, chest (not just the left arm and chest like you see on tv) nausea. All those things are warning signs that you're having a heart problem. A heart attack can happen at any age and it's different in women, we don't have the same symptoms as men. I've learned a lot since this happened, I was very active, ate healthy (a lot of vegetables, never was a fan of candy or fast food but I'd grab a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast or just a salad for lunch and sometimes would skip dinner all together. Not good.) Even though I'm not the typical age for a heart attack, even though I lived an active and somewhat healthy lifestyle..it STILL happened. Get 8 hours sleep as often as possible, eat right, exercise, keep an eye out for warning signs, check with your doctor and have yourself screened since you know you have a defect, it may be like mine, mine got worse with age til that artery finally blew. It didn't take much, just stress and pushing myself too hard. Be safe and good luck!

Once again, thanks to you all, bless your Hearts <3

It's good to be back but, the reason I've returned to Neopets is less than spectacular.

Not long ago, I had a very busy and stressful life, not enough hours in the day to get things done but I did my best every single day to do as much as I could. I was drinking energy drinks, grabbing meals on the go, getting up before sunrise most days and finally dragging myself to bed in the wee hours just to get up with only 4 to 6 hours of sleep to do it all again. I had lost my younger brother last year and pretty much did a nose dive into doing anything and everything just to keep my mind off it and keep BUSY. It went that way for months and at christmas time it was even worse. I was going nonstop, driving all over the place every day, taking care of all the demands chrstmas adds to life while, on top of it all, I was helping family and friends get ready for the holiday too.

On christmas eve it all came to a crashing halt. I had a major heart attack, almost died and, according to my cardiologist, I SHOULD be dead. He told me I'd had the kind of heart attack that not many people survive and the only reason I did was because I was just plain lucky. I'm not old, I'm a young woman but, I am from a family that has a genetic flaw, it's a cardiovascular issue. I was born with it, however, I was told as a kid that I was only mildly affected, it shouldn't cause a problem. Because of that, I never thought about it, not until that widow maker forced me to realize I'm not super human.

Needless to say, life is much slower now and I have a lot of free time. So, here I am, back on Neopets after several years. It's good to be back, I love the site, I just wish the circumstances were more pleasant.

I guess I'm putting this out there to say to anyone who's reading this, don't think you can do whatever you want and not have to face consequences, there always are a few and some are pretty bad. Make good choices, don't stress so much, eat right, get plenty of rest, stay active but be smart about it. Take care of yourself because there are people counting on you who need you. Friends, family, everyone around you, no matter what your circumstances are there is someone who needs you to be there. Don't be selfish like I was, don't take chances with your health, just take care of yourself and always remember...you're only human, your body isn't as tough as you want to believe, you have to take care of it because you never know...abuse yourself too much and you might end up where I was, flat on your back in an ambulance wondering what the heck just happened. Don't make that mistake, stay safe, take care of you and by doing so you'll be around for all the good things life has to offer even if right now isn't the best. You never know what tomorrow has to offer you, be there to find out  

Have a Fantastic Day! <3

Is it just me, or have the challenges been relatively easy so far? /: I'm usually pretty terrible at most flash games, but I haven't had much trouble beating Chadley every day so far--and only with an hour or two of practice, instead of all day like in some years past... 

 

Not all of em were easy! lol I was pulling my hair out yesterday over Kou-jong but, finally beat it! At least it's over. I was dreading that game XD So far I've beaten Chadley on all of the DDs, I really hope I can keep it up

you will find lots of people on the Neoboards with scores ready to send ...

one of the easiest games for me :) 

 

 

 

Thanks Angelo! I have a score that beats Chadley ready to send and put a request on the neoboard, here's hoping! -crosses fingers-

Update: Aaaaand DONE! Woohoo! -tosses confetti-

Boo, I've been away so long that none of my neofriends are here anymore, stupid team challenge. :(

Hah! Finally! In yo face Chadley! -fist pump and collapses face first into desk- 556...good enough..I hate that game

-NOOOOOOooooo...!!

-head desk, head desk, head desk-

I actually still have a pile of those I never opened lol

I've been hanging around off and on for 14+ years. Ugh that seems like such a long time T_T!!! I still love Neopets though. I've taken several breaks along the way, some long, some short. RL always comes first after all! I wish they'd bring back the Habitarium but sadly, that's not going to happen, no matter how much we plead and beg and roll around on the floor and have a huge miserable sad! WCs seem to also have gone the way of the Habs, gone, not forgotten but, not coming back either. I've seen all kinds of things change but a lot also stays just the same.

I like how the art has evolved, I remember how the site looked when I first started in 2002 (Good Grarrl that's a long time ago! O.o) The art now is far more professional looking, just all kinds of sparkles and prettiness, even the junk looks nice!  Speaking of junk, they have a daily now called the Coincidence that takes junk and generates a random event, anything can happen! Well..not anything..but something! And come on, it takes junk! So, weee!

Let's see, what else, hmm...lotsa new games, making np seems a little easier. Looooads of new items to discover all over the place and they just keep on adding more. Seems a lot of things have been retired too so check your inventory for hidden wealth in items that used to be plentiful and cheap and have become rare and expensive for some reason lol Welcome back! Still the same Neopets but new and improved in lotsa ways.

Same thing happened to me. Well...doodie!
