That’s the second time I’ve lost my jaw on the floor over a PYO. Good lord, between this and MachineGuts’ work, I’m gonna look like the Mummy…. 😉
Those pics are gorgeous (The snakes AND lizards)!! I’ve worked in a pet store or two, but mostly they had the common stuff: iguanas, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, corn snakes, red tail boas, anoles. I’d never even seen about half the pics posted. How cool!
Growing up I had a bunch of different lizards at different times: half a dozen anoles at once, a single green iguana, a couple skinks at a time, etc. Really wanted a snake for a while but never got around to it (tho I had a yen for albinos in particular, their coloring is so beautiful). Thank you all for sharing – we can live vicariously through you! 😀
I’m grateful to have found several of the pieces I’d been looking for! Now I’m down to these:
Rainbow Fledgling (to complete my little rainbow family)
Dragon Trio Candle Lamp (painted in the “cool” colors)
PYO Keeper Dragon (with lavender eyes, unless the metallic teal are available!)All in undamaged condition, at reasonable prices. Thanks everyone! :hi:
Metallic Teal Eyes for the PYO Dragons!!! squeek* (well, all the PYOs). Like the ones used on the Copper Patina fledgling dragon. Woulda been the *perfect* color for my ver first PYO…
Two more adults! After my very first two hatchlings died from not enough views, I am soooo glad to have discovered the hatcheries through the dragon cave forum. So far all my eggs/hatchlings have been proceeding at lightning speed and doing great!
Meet Bannerly:
and Gal Axy:
I can’t live without the “view new posts” option – otherwise I’d have to parse through every topic to see what’s new.
Also love the private messaging, and the smilies – though I’d like *more* smiley options (like one for begging/pleading, one for “thank you”, a head-scratcher, etc – and an eye-roll that’s just an eye-roll, not quite so strong as banging-your-head-into-the-wall). Also, I like being able to see what I’m replying to at the bottom of the screen, that’s cool.I CAN live without the save function (I too didn’t know it was there), the disabling and parsing options at the bottom.
Hee hee, Melody, your reply makes me wonder if we can look forward to the Banana Slug line of sculpts XD
I miss Oregon, I lived in Portland for three years and it was my absolute favorite place to live (compared against Minnesota, Chicago, and Arizona)!TEAL!!! I love the teal. And I thought the blue in #1 looked good too.
(But then again, I would practically sell my soul for the teal on the PYO dragon so maybe I’m biased 👿 )WIN! Ebay decided in my favor and I’ll ship it back and get a full refund.
Thanks for your support, everyone. SO glad I joined here, and not just for the sake of Windstone Addiction!Minnesotans call Wisconsinians “Cheeseheads”. And there’s lots of border-rivalry jokes; I grew up in Rochester, MN, near the border with Iowa, so we had lots of Iowan jokes (think racial, dumb blonde jokes etc, except with Iowans) I wonder if the border with the Dakotas or Canada had the same thing?
And of course, it’s not regional slang but more of an accent – we had the “Minnesotan O”, the “dont’cha know”, and pronouncing one-syllable words like they have two syllables:
“toast” is pronounced “toe-est”
“don’t” is pronounced “doh-went” etcand my grandma used to say “warsh” instead of “wash”
Oh, the memories… 😀
In response to the folks asking about places to post their eggs:
I joined about four hatcheries, and have my dragons posted on all of them. So far, I have had no sick eggs, my hatchlings/eggs are booking right along, and all is well. This is the only forum I’m on, so I was worried I could only do 3 eggs/hatchlings at a time (limited urls in signature here), but with the hatchery aid I’ve been able to support 3 hatchlings and 2 eggs (both new drops! 😀 ) no problem.…will update if I run into problems though! :hi:
I was just at Auto Zone today looking at clear topcoats, and noticed this spray can:
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Dupli-Color-7-oz-clear-glitter-Effex-paint/_/N-25gw?itemIdentifier=645652_0_0_It’s called Dupli-Color Clear Effex and claims to give the same effect y’all have described here – metallic flakes giving a hologram sparkle. Anybody have any experience with this stuff? Thoughts? Responses? Results? I figure it’s especially handy since it’s only about $12 a can and for those of us who don’t airbrush (yet), the spray can is an ideal approach 😀
I am in process of pursuing a claim through eBay, and tomorrow I can escalate it so eBay will make a final decision.
Here’s a Picasa link to pictures of the issues, if anyone’s curious:
http://picasaweb.google.com/aferra/PoorQualityBedskirt#Some of the photos wouldn’t keep their captions, don’t know why, but I tried to caption best I could (like, “the next three pictures are…”)
So, what do you all think? do I have a case? :shrug:
