Mine always last a week.  If you stack with the Faerie Quest Fortune cookie though, the cookie lasts longer, so sometimes it feels like the boon doesn't last long.  Lately the refreshes don't always work too (refreshes to the same quest), which is frustrating.

The avatar is real... it took me 6 years of daily spinning to get it.  I had despaired, but it finally happened.  So many free spins.

Post on the Neopets facebook page daily too.  I had mine frozen for the same reason about a year and a half ago and got it back after about 4 days of posting daily on the fb page, posting daily on the ticket waiting forum, and updating my ticket every day.

Auggghhhh, one green check was my downfall, and it was because I was around someone I was too embarrassed to play neo in front of.  I must overcome that.  It's not shameful!

Okay!  Yes! Post on all those every day!  Include the ticket number.  When you edit your ticket daily, you should be able to view your ticket and edit it.  Adding pleasant comments, changing words for synonyms, just something to move your ticket and catch their attention.  I hear that mentioning an Alice (I think?) helps.  It's been nearly a year since my incident, so I can't view my old tickets anymore.

Okay, damage control!
Create a side account using the same information, email, date of birth, etc. as your frozen account.
The same thing happened to me last year.  I heard about someone's success when they posted a new ticket every day with the same information in polite language, posted with the ticket number daily on FB, and posted on http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=158776345 this board every day.  It only took me two days to get my 9 yo account back.  I know those results are probably atypical, but it worked for me and is worth a shot, right?
This is the kind of post I would post on the FB page and the neoboard:

My account was frozen for my protection.
The kind of ticket you want to submit is Frozen Account from your side, and if you use the same email address for both accounts, you are more likely to get unfrozen.

I work in the public school system as a school nurse.  I have to say, I totally agree with you.  If a device is to be used in school for educational purposes, it should be stated as such on the IEP or 504 plan and then used in that capacity.  Otherwise, it is very distracting to the other students.  
I am not saying this to be rude at all, but as a school nurse, I have to agree with raelilphil and babayaga67, schools don't take things away from kids to take away their enjoyment or fun.  Just like parents don't tell kids not to do something because we don't want them to have fun.  We tell them "no" to keep them safe.  Kids bring all kinds of toys to school, and they don't belong in school.  Children are in school to learn.  There are games and computers in school for the children to play with, after all, kids are kids, and they do need to have some fun.  As raelilphil said, if it is part of the IEP or the 504, then that is fine, but otherwise, the toys, ipads, cell phones (unless your child needs it for emergencies) are better off at home.  I have seen many children upset after they have been stolen.  The school is not responsible as it states very clearly in the handbook that they are not to be brought to school and all cell phones are to be checked in at the front office.

Speaking as a teacher, the fidget spinners were marketed as educational focus tools, but very few students actually use them for that purpose.  I'm sorry to all those who think that we're taking the fun out of things, but in my school, the vast majority of students were using them instead of doing the work that they are supposed help them focus on.  If you want your child to have one at school and you truly believe that they will use in properly, then schedule a meeting with your student's caseworker and have it added to their IEP or 504 plan as "educational tools".  Our autistic students have that provision and it is very helpful because they truly benefit fro them.
Before they were banned at my school, I collected the spinners at the beginning of the day, telling the students that if they needed them to focus, they could ask and I would always say yes.  It worked very well in my room, but not every teacher thought to control them before getting frustrated (some light up, not really conducive).
Speaking as a person, we got 10 simultaneous, single-finger spins.
I also never heard that Palestinian thing.  I'm going to look that up and see what that is all about.

One thing I did was to locate a list of kad foods (google it), and acquire everything on one of the lists that was a reasonable price.  I chose Altador foods.  You put 50 of those in your inventory (after awhile you have those memorized) and have the SW open in a different window.  When the kads refresh, I always choose the same spot to copy and search. Sometimes you are fast enough, sometimes not.  If they ask for one of the foods in your inventory, always click that kad, even if it isn't in your search spot.  It took me a couple months to go pink, and that board is probably the most supportive one I've found on the actual site.

Awww, I'm a teacher too, and I lost my voice on Tuesday.  Be grateful it's the weekend. First, and I'm sorry, but stop eating the ice cream, because the dairy actually will make it worse (same thing for eating dairy products before singing any time).  I've been drinking Lemon Zinger tea all week.  I had started to lose my voice on Monday afternoon, and a student went and brought me tea the next morning (which was awesome) and I had a bit of voice on Tuesday afternoon.  The cool thing is that when you whisper, the kids also whisper, which is really funny.  Also, your attempts to use your teacher voice with a crackly, noise-less sound really freaks them out and they will still get quiet.  Voice was poor all week, but usable by Wednesday. Dayquil helped too, even though I wasn't sick, just had lost the voice.
So, lots of lemon tea, with honey if you have it, stay healthy, and avoid dairy if possible.  It will come back!  Your voice needs a break, even if you feel you can't give it one. 

So, update.
 
I received my main account back today!  I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I posted on this board, http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=157288695 andstarted to send daily ticket updates.  Hopefully it helps!
 
I also got back all of my NP (plus an extra 2 or 3 million for some reason that I plan on doing charitable things with).  Most of my stolen items were also returned, except for the red codestones, which may account for the extra NP.

They are ending by 10:00p NST, so if you don't see this before then, I'm sorry.  They didn't list any others.

So, update.

Hey guys!
 
So I know it's weird to post on here for something like this, but here goes.
 
I'm a teacher (and 9 year Neopets user, 4 year TDN user), and we were going to put on a Color Run for the kids for the end of the year.  My principal approved it and we started making powder, including getting donations from parents.
 
Well, the principal changed her mind for some reason (district policy update, change of heart, parent complaint, something like these).  Now we can't do the color run.  
 
Any ideas what to do with the 50 pounds of color powder we made?  It was bought with school funds and donated by parents...  The ideas would preferably be something we can do with the kids.

Not sure what the color powder is like, but could you use it like paint? And maybe let the kids paint a huge mural or trace their bodies and color them in with the paint? Or paint their hands and make hand prints on a mural? If it is near the end of the school year, could you possibly have a sports day? Maybe have a balloon toss as one of the events and fill the balloons with the paint? Not sure what other events you could have, but maybe with a little creativity you can include the paint, so you are kind of having the "color run" intent, but just doing it in a different way. That is a tough one...

You could do an art project where you cut out paper t-shirts and use glue and they can make their own tie dyed shirts and then they could write about their plans for summer vacation. I'm a professional artist irl, and usually the non-toxic color run powder is made from tempura paint and cornstarch. Idk what all is in your color powder though. They could also make little color jars to take home (you could make it like a beach theme of sorts). You could also take round paper/Styrofoam plates and create mandalas with tacky glue (it sticks better) and the powder if you are trying to teach them about other cultures.

S_A does have some good ideas for art projects, but I guess you'll more or less have to treat it like a chemistry project, with the students wearing goggles, aprons, and latex free gloves, to satisfy the no "direct contact with student's skin" policy. My apologies with my previous post, as my ideas are definitely "no go".

I thought your ideas were good as well, Scoobert_Doo. and like you said, the kids (I'm assuming elementary?) would have to wear gloves at least to keep from staining their hands since it's food coloring. Maybe use spoons? Another fun project is blow art (see blow painting, only tweak it), where kids use straws and you could use glitter and glue sticks. They could make a family tree or something with markers and then put the glue on, and blow the "leaves" on?
It's a bummer that you can't have a color run, but maybe they're more worried about the food coloring staining the kids' clothes? I looked at different sites and such about this concoction, and all of them have said that the powder, once made, is easily washed off, and doesn't stain unless you leave it on the clothes long enough for the dye to seep in, and even then, it only faintly stains the clothes.

Those are really creative ideas, so being late to this party might not be fashionable but... My mom was a teacher (30+) years and she always had her students make her a Rainbow Jar of Good Wishes- and while she had the students rub sidewalk chalk on 1/4 cup of salt instead of your powder, maybe the students can still let the powder layer/stripe represent them poured into a glass or clear plastic (?) jar and with gloves on their hands, dip their finger into water and then into their color powder to put their color on a large drawing paper to make their teacher a Rainbow that each stripe represents each student s/he had as an appreciation gift and an easy way for the teacher to remember her class. If that isn't too much work for y'all!  :rambo:
As always, Happy Gaming everybody!  :rock:
