I’m a little grumpy now because two different rainbow dragons were offered at the same time as password protected lists and yet the colts weren’t. 😠
Thank you for the explanation. Hopefully it won’t be a seven year wait again. I missed the old black and white colts when they first released AND this re-release. 😭
Oh drag0nfeathers my heart goes out to you with your recent kitty troubles. We had put one of our cats down a week ago. She came inside at the end of the night the Saturday before Halloween and was fine. Then on Sunday she never sat by the front door asking to be let out. She stayed curled up on a chair all day only getting down once to get food and was very wobbly/achey when she did. I called the vet she had seen previously first thing Monday morning, but the wouldn’t be able to get her in until Halloween afternoon. Knowing that might be too long I called another local vet and they were able to get her in before noon that day.
My husband dropped her off and we spent the next week waiting for positive updates. She had a fever, wasn’t eating or drinking, was barely moving, her white cell count was off, and the vet couldn’t figure out why. She was put on fluids, given antibiotics, had multiple tests to check for things and everything came back negative – cancer, fiv, felv. Her signs pointed to the dry form of fip, but we finally got those results back and they were negative too. She spent the entire week at the vet and didn’t show improvement. The vet offered to let us take her home on Friday in hopes that maybe she’d improve in familiar surroundings. She ate a bite or two when she got home, then curled up. We gave her the medication she was sent home with. She barely ate on Saturday. Sunday she refused everything. We could tell she was hurting even through her medication so made the decision to call on Monday so she could go peacefully. She’s buried in between the house and the park office in a quiet spot she won’t be disturbed. The vet was so sorry she couldn’t figure out what happened.
We miss our Squeaker so much.
Do you mean Sunrise? They were painted by Olimpia Carapia in 2009. Occasionally they come up for resale. Mine is not for sale.
I oogled Windstone in shops at the mall starting when my family moved to Alabama in October 1986. I collected the brochures before I collected figures. I got my first brochure (with a peacock emperor on it I think) from TJ Stationers (a store similar to Hallmark). The next brochure (with something emerald on it) I got the only time I’ve been to DragonCon in 1998. I joined the group on LiveJournal not long after.
I didn’t get to buy my first Windstone until sometime between 2000 and 2003. It was either a black mother unicorn or a baby pegasus. The other followed shortly. Hard to believe I can remember when my collection took less than a shelf.
I joined the forums in October 2006 (still have my registration email). I remember when they were upgraded the first time. I remember when the login for the store and the forum were separate accounts and then when things were merged so you only needed one login for both.
So many users from back then don’t post any more and I often wonder how they are doing – SPark, GreaterBasilisk (GB), Skigod, DragonMaster (DM), WhippetLuv, Snapdragon, Arlla, PurpleCat to name a few.
I hate the wait and see what’s happening. Husband’s big boss men (director and assistant director) came to an event ribbon cutting at the end of September. While they were here, they told him to get on the registry for the next level of park administrator (PA2) and for his assistant to get on the PA1 list. Apparently an administrator at one of the larger state parks left and from what the big bosses told him his name has been mentioned as a possible replacement. So now comes the wait for interviews and then a decision to be made.
It would mean a 250+ mile move potentially in the middle of the school year. We’d be closer to oldest son who started college this fall, but we’d be farther away from both grandmothers.
I’m not quite off work yet, but I need to take a break. I assigned everyone a number between 1 and 6, rolled a die and the lucky winner is Ela_Hara!
So sorry I was running late posting the raffle for September. I had one idea for the prize, but it went into hiding so I found something else to offer. I’ve been dealing with a much-needed bathroom remodel since late last month and only just had a chance to get things posted. My beautiful prize arrived today.
