Hello @Animeee is there anything you would like to share with us about yourself? What brought you to TDN? Favorite aspect of neopets?

I only play with clothes on my two main pets thankfully, hehe! Or I would probably forget what was originally with the pet or not xD We did the transfer and if I check the pet page it shows the stealthy clothes on it, but on the user profile page it isn't displaying them. I am thinking they may need to just visit the wardrobe to get them to show. So overall, I think my first zap + sending over a dream pet seems to have went well! Thanks for the help and advice

Hello!

I am really looking for an active guild and actually have been trying to find a decent guild looking for council members so it is pretty amazing that you have made this thread.

I do have to ask - what do you consider a wealthy neopian? What is the average amount to pool? I have NO problem pooling nP, but I mostly just use FC and Stock market since I have no real goals in mind of stuff I need to save for (except maybe collateral for the big three avatars, if I ever decide to obtain those again).

I definitely want to be a zapper no matter what. I am actually already zapping pets and was able to just send off a stealthy shoyru.

I could honestly do any of the open council positions you have listed. I am already familiar with google docs since I use it with another site I am part of. I know html and some basic coding - so yes, I could help design a newsletter layout (most likely editing premade code). I am not good at writing content, but if others are available to help assist with that, I can mange it. I can write blurbs to announce the motm and any other items like that...just if you want a full on article, I may need help, hehe. 

I would prefer rank moderator, but can fill in for either position if others want rank moderator and/or you need help in the other areas more. I have been a moderator and an admin at various web forums so handling disputes is normal - not to mention taking care of children, haha!

I will probably have some other questions depending on the position you'd like to consider me for, mostly just to ensure I am following the usual methods the guild is used to.

You can find me on neopets under the username etrnldarkness (just joined after writing this all up).

Regardless, I look forward to helping out at least as a zapper!

@ErrI second what Scoobert_Doo said. It really cannot hurt to file a ticket, especially if it IS bugged. They may adjust for you :) BTW - Congrats on the win!

Hehe, splurging for me is something other than the cheapest neolodge settings, haha!

Glad you were able to get your old pet back though

Welcome back to neoepts and welcome to TDN forums! I am pretty new at the forums too and have found it to be a wonderful resource for information (combined with the website). I am sure you will meet many here who can help answer any questions (about neo or otherwise). See you around Shei~

Thank you both! When I used to do this stuff, transferring wasn't around so I am not always 100% how it works with certain features. This info has been quite helpful!

I went to pound a pet today and noticed my stealthy shoyru didn't appear to have his actual colors showing. I am holding the pet in hopes to be able to transfer him to a new home. Is this going to be a problem? I know there are some colors which cannot be transferred - just want to be sure before a goof is made!

I JUST pounded a pet today to keep room open, haha. Now I know why there were arrows on some profiles  Shows how much I pay attention to the news, eh?

Pretty happy to hear this news regardless.  Now, I can zap a pet while waiting to hear back if someone wants another.

When I first logged on I thought I was seeing things since I hadn't been on in a few days, hehe. I did read the announcement about being able to change the colors of the theme, but being a new member I figured I had just missed out on the layout. Glad to see it is back! Always love customization type layouts on forums

@eloralestrangeOh boy, I love roasted pumpkin seeds. They are delicious although we probably add way more salt than we should... >.>

I think it is great you have friends over to do it too, it is a great activity to do together  Even if it can get messy, lol

@babayaga67 I hope you were able to find the pumpkins!

Happy 21st!

My parents are one of the few whom have been together for ages. I think they are at over 30 years now married? Somewhere around 33 years - completely crazy!

I hope we all get so lucky as them and you and yours <3

Oh, this is interesting! I actually never got to participate in this event. Thanks for the head's up that it exists - I'll go check the main site out.

Pretty much agree with most people here on how to make money - Food club + stocks

In your case though if you are earning enough interest to buy some books (since that is your goal) each day, it is a good time to start working on them. For myself personally I don't have any large/expensive goals yet so I will continue to hoard hoard hoard, hehe. This is a tendency I have on most sites I play when it comes to money. I'll use/keep any 'extras' from quests etc that I can use (stamps, books) but hoard the money!

I wish you luck with your book goals <3

Hello @cordeliaviolet. Welcome to the forums :) Social work is a fantastic area to explore! I started out in psych but then was thinking social work was the way to go in the end. Ended up in business, lol. Funny how things work out like that. Now it's my husband with the Social Work minor.  

Glad you have a guild you like, that helps keep one around and interested!

@babayaga67 oops sorry, I often forget to name the specific one! It was Dollar Tree. They aren't tiny, but not really that big either. Definitely could carve a full face if desired etc.

@balloongal247 *giggles* No worries! I've done similar countless times before.

We just hit up the dollar store and I found the carvable, foam, pumpkins! Got a couple for the kids to just play with this time.

An idea I had that you may like @babayaga67 If anyone likes puzzles, you could spread a small puzzle out among the pumpkins then have a get together to put the puzzle together

@balloongal247 Says right in her post she went to an Orchard. xD

@Zafie That sounds like it was a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Yum yum! 

Our orchards actually do let you pick your apples. Is that common to not be done over there or just at that particular place you went to? We were supposed to do the wagon ride and pumpkins last weekend but someone was sick - so this weekend indeed!

I see you're a Winter fan. Snowballs or snowmen fan? xD

Sorry for disappearing! Lots of moving being done in the house over the next week or so <3

@babayaga67 Stickers has been our go-to in the headstart since they aren't allowed candy, haha. Glad the idea was of help! I actually forgot about / didn't consider using real little pumpkins. We do have one farm locally which sells them too so I should hit them up before they are all gone! Thanks for the reminder

Maybe I will use some spare easter eggs and save the orange ones...and consider them pumpkins for next year. xD 

@eloralestrange Pumpkin carving! How could I forget this? Always seems like the kids start it and we finish though  Do you do designs too or just carving out the innards? That is a clever idea for the candy!

@babayaga67 That is a great idea! I saw similar in headstart event suggestions (while I was looking some up for this year). Never thought to turn it into like an egg hunt! May I ask where you found some mini pumpkins at to hide the goodies in? I think we will do that this year too on Halloween morning. I might put stickers in them though since as you mentioned - plenty will come from trick or treating!

@jaydeed That is awful about the codes! :( After you mentioned that though I think that was why I ended up getting the stickers (and further recollection it was stickers and paper...like stationary set). I believe it was one of few items where the code wasn't easily accessible since I was worried about people stealing codes too. I think that was a big problem at the time. :/ Sadly, I got rid of it a few years ago since my son had no interest in it I do have a lot of their cards though!

@samuraimom Haha, love the parallel between your pets and kids  When it comes to neo I mostly play the stocks, food club, and chat with my guild. My guild helped keep me around neo instead of floating off like I usually do - having that contact helps a lot!

Still trying to refind my complete passion on there. Haven't found it yet. On my original account it used to be avatars and I'd spend an insane amount of time working on game avatars (12+ hours on meepit juice break zen mode...) So trying not to get sucked back down that rabbit hole, lol. No time as an adult!

For my family the beginning of October signifies a special time. We often do hay wagon rides to pumpkin patches, corn mazes, enjoying apple cider, and of course Halloween and all that entails!

Does your family do this? Did you in the past? What are some of your Autumn traditions?

@nyandere Welcome back to neopets! There are quite a few rejoiners coming around lately (myself included although it's been a few months since my return). If any of the new stuff confuses you don't be afraid to ask questions!
