    Novelista got a reaction from Duskitty in What is up with TNT deleting pets lately?   
    As the Poles say, "Not my circus, not my monkeys." (And one of the gentlemen in question is definitely a monkey!)
     

     
    Actually, you are being mean and rude. You do not know me and therefore have zero right to blow me off as a prude. I am as bleep-y and crass as it gets--I just have to hold it back here and elsewhere, because that's what civilized persons do.
     
    But I also take the old "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude. And it's not "up to TNT, not {me}". There are millions of users, millions of pets and likely thousands of pages. They cannot be everywhere every minute and rely on people like me and the other users who sided with me above to report inappropriate names, scams and other things that would harm the site and its (supposedly) young fanbase. Just because I don't agree with the stringency of some of the rules, doesn't mean I can't work to uphold those same rules. That's what being a good user and a fair player is all about.

    Yep...Caipirinha is a drink popular in Brazil--it's a rum drink. I have a magician friend who is fond of them and an actor I like who likes them, too.
     
     
    I've reported other users for inappropriate pet names before, myself (though only once or twice and clearly not you).
     
    I'd say that unless you're using real names, google them before naming pets. It's probably safer.

    *hugs for both of you* That's terrible!
     
    I think the first time I was frozen was because someone had stolen my account. At first, I thought that it was because I'd been buying rare item codes from eBay (and it seemed strange that it took so long to catch me); but then when I hopped over to my side, I realized it had been compromised. There was a chomby with a horrible name. (Not explicit...just poorly named.) Not only do I have no interest in chombies, but I would never adopt something with a poor name.
     
    (Okay, so maybe I was frozen for cheating and I did have my side cracked at the same time...it could happen!)
     
    After that, I started using a password in this format: x##x##x## (where x = letter and # = number). It's a pain to type out, but no one has tried to steal my accounts since!
     
     
    I was going to link to an anti-freeze guide I think it's pretty good, but I'm guessing the TDN guide is fine without even looking at it, so...:)

    The pteri popped up today when I was playing sakhmet solitaire, so I had to play!
     
    I was a little concerned about the difficulty level, but after seeing the recommendation on the BP that you should at least have 70HP and I have 66, I decided it was worth a shot.
     
    First couple of rounds, he didn't touch me at all! It almost ended up being a squeaker...I think I ended with 12HP. And--of course--I got the avvie.
     
    If anyone wants my HSD stats or weapon info, please let me know. :)

    So, after being on neopets for TWO years now I FINALLY got my first FFQ! The faerie wants an R96 item called Throwing Cupcakes. I only saw two on the trading lot so that isn't a good sign! :/ I dunno if I will be able to find this item or not. So I get my first one, but the item is impossible to locate and could cost me millions. :/
     
    If anyone could point me in the right direction, perhaps? That'd be great. :D Thanks guys!

    Game 47 and game 69--bronze trophy! Only three more wins for silver! (Wonder if I can pull it off before reaching 150 games?)

    I didn't realize you have to put the cap in a box to send, so unless you have several boxes in stock, a two cap item actually costs four. (Fortunately, I had pre-bought three caps and opened a fourth to have at least one box on hand.)

    I like being able to say, "Okay, I have this item...now let me look at all the users that want this item and see which has an item that I want most." and then broker the best deal for what I'm getting rid of. :D

    I ignored Delina's bonus quest. My daily quest went well (forgot who I got, but she wanted a Nanka bottle), but my fortune cookie quest was a bust. 75k for the fire fae and I had to turn her down. Ugh.
     
    The only thing worse than an Air quest is getting one you have to turn down because it's too expensive. (I don't like turning down fae quests. :P )
