I also love Artemis Fowl and the Animal Crossing games! Have you been playing pocket camp?

always DISCARD any extras you get THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN, they rarely do this for you any more. to discard NC items, the unintentional extras need to be in your inventory, select them to open the item window, go to the drop-down menu and select Discard, another screen will show in which you press the Discard button (you may need to enter your PIN if http://www.neopets.com/pin_prefs.phtml you added this option). do not, ever, use Upcycle Fortune cookies or Pink Paper Bags on those extras as this is abusing a glitch and you can get frozen for it. for Neopoint items that were unintentional extras, you need to discard (NOT DONATE) them too as selling/gifting/keeping them is abusing a glitch and can get you frozen. sending a ticket is mostly useless since they will tell you what I'm telling you now (i.e discard the extras) and as long as one person does let them know about the glitch through a ticket (and know they probably won't get a reply and you're fine with that) then you should be good. many people can send a question to the Editorial (http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editform) to let them know and let us know (for those of us that check these things) what should be done.

Good afternoon TDN's finest folks. 
I know @Vlagopus posted this a few days ago: 
"Good news to anyone who still needs the avatar! (courtesy of this thread on the Neoboard)
Sterrano the Darigan Pteri is 636 days old right now! So only 8 more days to go "

But I just wanted to remind everyone 
 
TODAY IS THE DAY ! GET YOUR AVATAR  HERE       It should be available by 11 AM NST
 
 
Have a magical day ?
 

Bought a new background today and I'm really pleased with the cosy seasonal look I've been able to create. ?

I struggle with seasonal customisation stuff because it's invariably TOO seasonal for me, TNT seem to just LOVE stuffing holiday items into backgrounds and thus making them hard to use IMO. This b/g being a good example because of the pumpkins, and not just pumpkins but jack-o-lanterns, but the flowers partially cover them so I'm cool with that.
Really I wanted to use the Buzzer abode because that looks adorable, but the pumpkins are too in my face using that, lol.

Are your pets getting into the September vibe?

It was a fudge chocolate flavor from a box. This was my practice cake so I was not worried about how it tasted.
 
I did not have a chance to make the unicorn cake. I decided to wait until Christmas for the unicorn. I will most definitely post a picture for that.
I am making a wonder woman cake tonight for a friend, hence the practice. I am going to make it a white cake for wonder woman because that is my best tasting "from scratch" recipe.
Thank you! I wanted to practice with the wonder woman colors, so I went full American flag for labor day :)
The recipe that I use is marshmallows, powder sugar and a dash of vegetable shortening. It starts out as white as white can get.
I gave my kids the left over fondant and some cookie cutters to play with. It's just like play dough, but it's not toxic so I don't have to worry about my 1 year old having to make a hospital trip.
I have never worked in a bakery. I have worked in several restaurants, but none of which made their deserts in house. I am self taught. I do not consider myself anything but an amateur. I do not have the confidence to not destroy someone's poor wedding cake. I would feel so guilty.

Mwahaha!! Finally! I have finally succeeded in making one look decent!!!

Hello and welcome ?
I hope you enjoy neopets much more now . You should try neoquest, stock market, food club, entering art contests, the neopian times, even battledome if you have not looked into this. Theres still so much more. 
When I first started playing neopets I thought that parts of the site were not the game. 

That was when it looked like this. 
I thought. HMmmm. Neomail? My mom said I can't have email ?
Shops? I'm 12 I cant shop. I dont have money. 
Boards? I'm 12 .........
News? Ew. I hate news. 
I literally did games, and  explore for an entire year so I know how you feel ...
 
 
About the Lutari...
Look in the trading post for a morphing potion ? Thats where I found mine. 

Hiya! I live in Minnesota, which is definitely colder than Philadelphia but I think you'll get more snow than we do. I can offer you the following advice regarding your car:
If you are even a little bit worried about your car, go to a reputable place for an oil change and a general "checkup" to make sure it's ready for the winter. They'll look at your tires and engine and idk, all the other car parts or whatever, and make sure that they are in good shape. If nothing else, it gives you the opportunity to talk to a mechanic about the particulars of your car in the particulars of Philadelphia's winter.  Windshield wiper fluid is CRITICAL... you can find it at any gas station or hardware store for sure, and most Targets/Walmarts/etc. It comes in different varieties though, and it is important to buy stuff that won't freeze in the winter. It's slightly more expensive (like $3 versus $2) to buy the stuff that stays liquid until -35F, but if you buy the cheaper stuff and it DOES freeze... well, it will probably pop the tubing and replacing that will be very expensive. At least here the -35F stuff is always purple, but check the label and be very sure!! You will also need an ice scraper for your car. These are little plastic things that you can find anywhere, a super basic one is like a dollar. I recommend buying like three of them: keep two in your car, and an emergency one inside of your house. There are more expensive ones with longer handles, but imo the normal ones are the easiest to use/do the best job.  You should also make a (winter) emergency kit for your car. Most of it is the same as any other emergency kit (non-perishable snacks, a weather radio, first aid supplies, a map, etc), but you should also include a blanket (or two), an extra set of gloves/a hat, possibly a small shovel, and SMALL water bottles. (The small is important because they will melt faster.) I am sure that like, FEMA has a good list of things to keep in a winter car emergency kit. Philadelphia probably does too--most northern cities do, so you definitely should be able to find several lists on google. In St. Paul the city mails everyone a little flier every autumn, which is mostly for people that have not yet experienced a Minnesota winter and do not know what they are getting themselves into. Oh and also, you are supposed to keep the kit in the backseat of your car instead of the trunk, because if you get stuck in the snow you might not be able to get out of your car. For me the location of my snow kit depends on if I am driving other people or if I am going grocery shopping lol. If your car is very light, I highly recommend getting a set of snow tires and/or keeping a bag or two of sand in your trunk during the winter. At least in the Twin Cities, the city doesn't plow side/residential streets. There is generally a nice person every two or three blocks who has a pickup truck and a plow who will clear the side streets, but even if they do the roads can be... difficult. My car is very light and in the winter slides like a solid 50% of the time I make a turn. (Honestly I've just learned to embrace this and just incorporate it into my driving style, rather than trying to force my car to break the laws of physics.) Snow tires will give you more traction, as will putting lots of weight in the trunk of your car. In the winter hardware stores here sell tubes of sand that are literally just for putting in your car. Your needs will be very specific based on your particular car and how Philadelphia deals with snow, but at least now you know that these are things you can consider if you are having a hard time driving in the winter.  Inevitably, you will get stuck at some point. This is okay, it happens to literally everyone. People are usually quite kind and will stop their cars or run over from down the street to help you out. This is where the shovel can be helpful! If you need extra traction to get out of a slippery spot, you can use sand, cat litter, or the floor mats from inside your car.  In the spring, once it is warm enough for all the snow to melt and the runoff to go away, get a carwash asap. I mean a GOOD one, one that includes the bottom of your car. The salt from the road will get all over your car, which makes it look dirty but much more importantly, it WILL start to rust your car if you don't take good care of it in the spring. Washing the underside of your car is very very very important, as that is the easiest place for rust to start (and it gets rained on less often, ofc). Once the snow melts, it'll be several days/weeks until all the salty water is completely gone. If you get a car wash as soon as it warms up (which I recommend), until ALL the salt water is gone you will continue to get salt on the bottom of your car, so it's important to get another car wash once you are sure that it's "safe."  Finally, take your time! Be patient! Be calm! Driving in the winter can be intimidating, but you WILL get used to it and it WILL be okay. Drive the speed you feel comfortable at. Give yourself extra space to slow down or stop. Make turns carefully. Take a deep breath. Don't drive lots of people around in your car until you feel comfortable--not because you are a danger to them, but because they will be distracting and/or stress you out. Be patient and calm. It's not nearly as terrible as I am making it sound, this is all planning for the Worst Case Scenario. You can always ask for help, anyone and everyone who lives where it snows understands and appreciates how winter driving can be. If you are too nervous about the weather on a particular day, it's okay to just say screw it and cancel whatever plan. But don't be too afraid to give yourself credit: you've already learned how to drive in the summer, on the highway, when it's raining. It took time to learn and you probably made mistakes. You CAN learn this skill too! ❤️ 

Thank you, that was very helpfull.

Honestly it's hard to pick a favorite. Ryuk was right about how amazing apples from this world are, they're so juicy and sweet. I would gladly sell my soul to an evil notebook for an apple.
In all seriousness though, it's a hard pick between the Blackapple because I like the color, or the Digital Apple because I'm a little obsessed with Digimon (Digital Monsters).

Where've you guys gone these days?? Another country, your grandma's house across town, etc let's share it : D!
previously, i went to osaka and toyko. my last trip was my second trip to osaka, i really enjoy it there! i havent spent much time in tokyo vs osaka so i hope to go to tokyo again in september... ;^;
buuut ! im about to go to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks for the first time and im pretty excited ngl >_< my mum used to live there for awhile so i want to see what its like for myself.... if anyone has any recommendations please tell me! or if anyone lives in hk, lets meet!

I would agree with you, but then I remembered I participated in the Daily Dare rather than doing my AP Stats homework, Studying for my AP Calc test, or writing my Senior Paper for High School (Don't panic I got my paper done and did well on the Calc test, Stats I have given up on as the teacher is an even worse person than whoever put Zurroball in Daily Dare this year).
