I still need an Orbis and a Persona if it's not too much trouble. You've already gifted me two and I don't want to presume too much when you've already been so nice.
Sent friend request. Once received I will send you what I have left from the Mother's Day set. Which is one Floresco short of a full set.
Hi to all Forum Members old and new .... Haven't posted for a while on this bustling forum .... Haven't tamed and gifted for a while .... however thanks to generous traders the gifts still keep arriving...so here are long overdue thanks for frogs received: Awboj - Botulus x 2, Levar, Papilio, Hennae Marti - Palma Lisi - Levar & Lotus Madmaze - Mazeous Javar - Infinitas Maholah - Planeta x 3 Nirtew - Igneous, Axis, Fortuno Ella - Infinitas, Mustacium, Coclearis Mal - Fortuno Andi - Cornus x 3 Dlstar - Stellata x 3 Ms Rae - Palma And a Pulvilus whose parent I missed and anything else I might have missed... XXX
Just completed the Mother's Day set if anyone would like a lovely gift of it on Mothers Day. Thanks very much to Cetacea for the set! Thanks to iluvjae for the pretty Africanus. Thank you Dean for the Persona and Orbis.
I'm still waiting on GC acceptance from aisgecko (why is that taking so long sometimes??); can you send him (I default to 'him' even in this thread lol) the set if you are already friends?
Jeez, so many generous people here that it's hard to give anything away! Finally made a decision to send this week's Starter Set to Adp, one of my lowest level buds (hope you needed it) & another Starter Set to a non-forum friend. Problem, I guess, is just that I only check this forum one time/day sometimes two, so I often miss what people need. Some may perceive me as a lousy trader, not incorrectly I might add, but I honestly do my best. The Leaderboard *does* show that one area I excel in is "Gifts Sent." For sure, I'm no Dom or dean or others but I definitely hold my own in THAT area! Phew! Saved by the "not sell." Oops, dinner! Will include p.s. additions in my next self-critique.
Yeah you have me beaten at that; I blame my dexing strategy leaving me broke all the time and my ever-reducing patience with taming. You're certainly not a lousy trader ... this is not pocket lice .
Did anyone else just get the update? It promised to fix the glitch that didn't allow some gamers (including me) to register some of the awards, like Breeding Machine. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I closed the game and re-opened it but still nothing. (Of course what did update was the promotional videos in the Pro Shop.) Correction - my awards just came through! So excited! Now I just have that 5000 frog award left to achieve.
Wasn't around most of the weekend but received many presents....I do not remember all of them...so if you sent me a frog(s) I thank you and apologize for not being able to recognize you at the same time. From what I can remember at the very least was: ADP, jklau, AndiNZ, and MartiNZ
First - thank you! MartiNZ and Ella for coming through on those Fortuna. At level 30 (and a half) so close, but so far! Lisianne - thank you for the starter set. It kind of made my day after yesterday's pocket frog disaster. CygnetSeven - for the Frondis Dominic - for all the lovely Palma Awboj - ligo AndiNZ - Scutulata Lermshell - Lunaris Yesterday was one of those days where nothing went right. S - my boyfriend, who is also an adult career changing student, worked two long, hard, back to back shifts at our local - and due to circumstances beyond his control was not able to leave work till 5 am both days. He is up after far too little sleep, sore from 11 hours on his feet and moving heavy kegs and especially cranky. S is sober, but his fellow employees are not, which makes cleaning up after work and getting out the door sort of like herding tipsy cats who have no idea what time it is. I'm a little stressed about job hunting after being in school for a long time. Little stressed may be an understatement. I'm wondering if I can find us a nice refrigerator box to live in with wifi. (Yes, this is hyperbole at this point). My son sends me a texted Mother's Day greeting, which turns into a text discussion I'm not interested in having. I love my son, but his timing can be interesting. I'm multitasking preparing to gift/sell to clear my habs and get another color of favus bred on my ipad. I'm reading a wall of text on my phone from a slightly overwrought legal adult (who is channeling age 8). S is grousing loudly in the kitchen and appearing to have some sort of confrontation with the entirely jenga themed plastic container shelf... ...and I've just accidentally gifted my Favus color wheel.... Before anyone sends me back anything they got yesterday, I've managed to fix it all - and thanks to Lisi and Ella and MartiNZ get my set going last night! Off to job hunt like it is my job!
@ Adp - hope the job hunting goes well today and all other situations are better. PF Update - A Tale of Caution Went in this morning and updated PF. Was hoping that it would fix the problem I am having with my stats on pond presents and gifts sent. They have been frozen since someone sent me a challenge in February. Anyway, after the update I realized that the gift frog I had from Maholah was gone. I am 99% certain that I hit accept and not sell the last time it popped up.
Oh, Adp, I was at first transfixed by your tight, witty, descriptive style; I'm a sucker for good writing. Then I could not help but be touched, as probably only a parent can be, by the "interesting" matter of your son. Oddly enough, this morning I stumbled upon a quote from an article by Adam Gopnik (BBC News Magazine) about parenthood: "What I wonder about is why we love our children so asymmetrically, so entirely, knowing that the very best we can hope for is that they will feel about us as we feel about our own parents: that slightly aggrieved mixture of affection, pity, tolerance and forgiveness, with a final soupçon - if we live long enough - of sorrow for our falling away, stumbling and shattered, from the vigour that once was ours." Too sad by far but it does have that "soupçon" of truth to it. This at the same time I'm in the middle of reading this week's Time Magazine cover article called "The Me Me Me Generation - Millennials are lazy, entitled narcissists who still live with their parents. Why they'll save us all." So far a more balanced, hopeful description of the tangled parent/child relationship. Hopefully today will be better for you in all ways: lighter kegs, shorter hours, texts filled with XOXO's (& maybe an apology?), & a windfall of Favus. But back to frogs with whom I have an "interesting" relationship: some won't breed properly, some take forever to tame, some creep me out, & still others I can't seem to part with. I devote myself to them nonetheless. p.s.: Thanks to Andi for the Figularis, Madmaze for the Lotus, Adp for the Favus, Nebula, & Fractus, Maholah for the Pulvillus, jklau for the Foramen, awboj for the Janus, & XXX for the Spira.
