    suzanoberle got a reaction from phill in The Kadoatery / Kad Feeding   
    I don't think they'd sit there...there are lots of people who want the avatar.  There's no "too easy".  
    I'm fine with it being challenging, but I maintain that those who overfeed consistently are selfish.  There's no reason to feed 2300 Kads except to prevent others from getting the same avatar and make it "rarer".

    I don't think you need 75 for a gold trophy.  My understanding is

    Feed 1-9 Kadoaties, you get the bronze trophy, 10-24 for silver, and 25 or above is the gold trophy. At 75 feeds you get the pink avatar.  There is no pink trophy.
    More importantly, there is NO advantage to feeding over 75.  People do it just because they can.  Personally I don't plan to do that, as once I get the avatar, I will try to be considerate of others who want it.  The overfeeders just drive up the prices of kad foods and make it more of a refreshing frenzy.

    So....this may not be what you want to hear, but you never really dated except casually hanging out.  There was never a serious commitment, and now you are asking him to commit to a long distance relationship, which is difficult in the best of times.  You want to "win him back" but it doesn't appear you ever really had him.  I suggest you  focus on work and meeting new people.  If he's really the one for you, he'll *want* to make the effort to visit, and vice versa.  You'll both make it work if it's meant to be.   But, if he's not willing to travel 2 hours to see you, or to make time for you when you visit him, then he's moved on, and you should too.
    In the meantime, you should work on your self esteem and learning to like yourself.  I'm concerned that you write that  "I am used to guys who use me for their convenience and then essentially get rid of me when it's time for them to move on."   You are worth more than that, and should never allow yourself to be treated that way.  If you don't learn to value yourself higher, you will continue to attract these type of men.  I think you need to work on yourself first, then worry about dating. There are better men out there, and you will eventually meet one, but first you need to do some introspection and figure out WHY you keep attracting (and being attracted to) men who don't appreciate you.   Your self esteem should not be linked to who you are dating.  If you don't respect  and value yourself enough to treat yourself right, they won't either.

    OK, thanks, everyone, for the comments--I appreciate them.  I think I'm just busy with other stuff, like the money tree, and don't take the time to stop and read them before hitting the next page.  I like Lakecat's suggestion about shrinking the page size; that's a clever idea.

    I swear by IcyHot.  It also comes in a cream (not as good) and as a stick that you roll on like deodorant.  I tried the capsaicin-based ones and they didn't help, but Icy Hot is very reliable.  Plus it's not expensive--just a few bucks for relief.

    Easy.  I got hacked...among other things, they took FIVE Fyora's tears.  They were worth like 50 million NP each.   I had 6, had auctioned one.  The rest, along with paintbrushes and other stuff of value, were all taken.  Oddly, the hacker PAINTED some of my pets, and changed their clothes. It was really weird that they seemed to play with the account, not just take stuff.     I reported it, but nothing was done.  I never shared a password or anything.  Really, really frustrating.  I'll never get most of it back.

    Thank you, Mouseykins.  That makes a lot more sense.  It had been awhile since they did a full plot, but I was pretty certain they moved along at a faster pace!  This helps explain it.

    Scrappy stated recently that they're having to drag it out a bit longer then intended due to other site maintenance tasks and with the new company that bought JumpStart. It was originally speculated that the plot would begin in November so I think they're just stalling until then.

    Hello Fellow Neopians! Scrappy here!

    I'm here to level with you guys and let you know what's the deal here! As you may have noticed, Fyora is a little slow in assembling her troops to respond to the events at the Faerie Festival. Believe me, Scrappy (and the rest of TNT) wants the battle to begin more than anyone!!

    However, due to happenings in the TNT offices (the acquiring previously mentioned), priorities had to shift slightly. Don't get me wrong, it is a GREAT thing! We have so much excitement happening here and there are soooo many things in the works for you guys! But sadly, that took us slightly off schedule.

    So, Fyora is waiting on our word, which I promise you is coming! Then, the battle will begin! I understand any and all frustration due to the delay but in the long run I think it will be worth it! So, remain the wonderfully patient Neopians that you are, keep training and you will be rewarded

    Stay cool, my friends!
    -Scrappy

    I believe that trying for a scamander DOES count against your daily total on the money tree if you are able to grab him, even if he wriggles away.

    In a couple days, the Money tree will have scamanders appearing--it's a once a year event.  The "Scamander-In-Chief" donates them throughout the day each October 12.
    Every year I try catching them but they always wriggle away.  Does anyone know any tricks for hanging on to one?

    suzanoberle got a reaction from jellysundae in street food .. yay or nay ?   
    Food is such a big part of the culture of any city, local or international!  Don't miss out by avoiding street fare.  I've eaten street faire in Mexico, central and S. America, Europe, the Caribbean, China, Japan...and street faire in Texas, NY, California and Florida.  I've always been fine, and I got to enjoy some really amazing foods.  
    I say definitely go for it, just be smart.  If the place is not known for safe tap water, remember to also avoid ice in drinks, and to brush your teeth with bottled water.  
    Generally the rule is to be sure the person handling the money is not the same person cooking.  Money is actually very dirty.  Similarly, if you see a big crowd, it's probably good, and if all the locals avoid it, you should too.  Look for a crowd...there's a reason everyone wants to eat there!
    Better yet, ask people to recommend local places.  They'll be happy to help, and pleased that you are willing to share in their culture.
