Huzzah! I just wish I could think of some articles to write. :P

I hate being a spoilsport in a thread where the original post made me giggle, but I don't think cameras would work in Neopia. Something about no electricity (or batteries) or the like? (A lot of fantasy books are like that, it seems.)

Oh well, I'm auto-subscribed for the next chuckle simply by replying. ^_^

I've gotten warned several times and I have to admit, some have royally cheesed me off. But I usually take a break of a week or more before I end up coming back, 'cause I'm just too darn addicted!

I'm sorry if you don't feel welcome here, but everyone seems to like you (I certainly don't have a problem with you) and if you leave, whose shoulder will I cry on when I don't place in the customization challenge? ;) *chuckle*

I would take it slowly, maybe a few points and a few items per day. (Like a maximum of 800k and one trade lot a day.) If you do it all at once, it might seem hinky--even if you send the items via "send to neofriend" one at a time.

Any of you have cat photos hanging in your room? (Or some other point of pride in your home, should you be lucky enough to own or rent?)

Bonus points if you took it yourself. ^_^

:laughingsmiley: That's "a force to be reckoned with"! It means we're too big to ignore. xD

So yes, Arnie, we do want to be a force to be reckoned with. :D

I thought about it a while back, Corrine, but with the rampant illness/ship problems lately, I'm not as "into" the idea as I used to be. :P

(I used to wonder how everyone on the boards knew each other's names, but then I finally realized, "Hey, you could look at the name on their Neopets profiles!" :laughingsmiley: )

Hrtbrk, I just said earlier in the thread that my oldest account hasn't been purged.

The only thing I can think of is because I (vainly) try to get in a few times a year and they think I'm finally going to hit on the right combination--which I won't. >.<

That's actually one thing I don't know...whether staff has to go through full body scanners every day or what. You'd think yes, but then you'd think that would be unhealthy, as you said. I've always seen flight staff on the business side of security, so I've never thought about it.

I have IBS, Shel, but I like traveling a great deal better when I'm carrying a bathroom around with me. :D

I think I'm not afraid of flying because my parents started me so young. (I flew once and all I could "see" out of my mind's eye was the plane spinning like barrel rolls, but that must have been a bad mental health day or something, because that's the only time that's ever happened.) Plus, it feels a lot more secure than a rollercoaster; which, with my fear of heights, I am afraid of! (Although sometimes I'm willing to bite the bullet. When we went to Cedar Point, I used to ride the Iron Dragon all the time, but hated riding anything else. Go figure!)

Yeah, I've never had a problem with reaching the overhead bins. Last time I flew was '08 and I could grab my purse with relative ease. :)

Siniri, I'd like to work at an airline call center (especially since I got my travel agent cert about eight years ago), but I don't know of any nearby. (Probably the nearest is Chicago, which is a whopping four hours away!) So this will do nicely. (If it does at all!) Quite different from a desk job. ^_^

*adds those to her list*

I figured it would be worth a shot. I'm done with school for the time being (too many dead-end majors and other issues), so now would be the time to go out and try Something Absolutely and Completely Different. :D

I forgot there are height requirements (because of the jumpseats, I think?), but I'm 5'5" (165.1cm for you metric folks), so I should be fine. :P

As someone who'd like to "resurrect" some pets from frozen accounts, I wholeheartedly agree.

And usernames purged, too, since a lot of frozen accounts seem to remain frozen forever. (Heck, my oldest {non-frozen} account still hasn't been purged and I haven't been able to get into it since high school!) (Did I mention I just had my class reunion last weekend? That's how long it's been!)

...becoming a flight attendant?

When I was in high school, my best friend and I talked about it from time to time, because her aunt was one. (Of course, Nicole and I met pre-9/11, when airlines still gave attendants flight vouchers they could share with family.) I've thought about it from time to time, especially since I learned three years ago that a girl I knew from school (and church, when I still went) was an attendant. (I found out because her mother came into the store where I was working and filled me in...her mom was buying her a blender to use at the "crash pad" the airline kept in Florida.)

I know it would be long hours and passengers are tough, but I think it would be kind of interesting, too. I started applying for a position a few months ago (I don't remember which of the airlines), but I got partway through and they were like, "We don't pay you until the (X) point in your training" and I closed out the window. I'm willing to live in another state (even another country) while training, especially since they're probably paying room and board, but no pay? What am I supposed to do if I need shampoo or want to buy candy or (should there be time) go out to dinner? :P

Anyway, I'm considering it again. I'm going to try to apply to Southwest, JetBlue and AirTran, because those are the best-rated airlines to work for, according to Forbes. I'm probably going to check into foreign airlines, too, since I'd be willing to work for...*picks a few off Wiki* KLM or British Airways if they're willing to fly me out to interview me and put me up during training. (I don't know how I'd afford a passport, but as my mother has always been fond of saying, "Let's cross that bridge when we come to it."

So would you do it?

I didn't know that was you! Yay!

And you look nothing like Danielle. You're way cooler, because you're one of us!

(Well, that and and I'm biased. Danielle/Panser/Tradechat was on the inaugural season of King of the Nerds and I'm friends with Moogega, so...*giggle* :D )

'tis going to be a long-furred fuzzbucket!

Lots of grooming fun. :P

In addition, there's speculation that the weird caps were partly designed to thwart cheating programs that might not have recognized them...

Which works only if we suppose that such programs are designed to send scores infinitely, instead of being fully user-controlled.

But that's a discussion for another time, since it's not allowed here. :D

Only been waiting a week for something I saw happen a few times last year...

The opposing team scored on their keeper! YAY! :withstupid: (Only that arrow should point to the left. xD )

"My potato has fifty-five..." ah..."{rear body parts}"?

Oh dear. O.o :laughingsmiley:

By the by...do any of you know anyone who lives in Spain or keeps ahissi of the news there? I have a question...

(Non-language. It's about primogeniture, actually.)

Bumpin', thumpin', jumpin'!

Can't wait to see a fellow TDNer live! (Em...in a video...)

Good luck on your fundraising efforts! :)

It must be to some extent, since Lupe Snacks are still around and they're chia shaped chocolate cookies, I think.

I can't tell you where I got this video, because I'd probably get in trouble for mentioning the site...

But this video that TNT released in 2000 is safe to share. :D

It's my first time ever seeing it. Love the music!

I guess that wasn't me, Totu...I just checked who I voted for and it wasn't you.

At this point, I'm going to get a nice, invisible trophy that says "Sorry. Thanks for trying." xP

And here I thought you just spoke English and Portuguese. :P :D
