I just started playing a little less than 2 months ago. Always looking for new friends on Pokemon Go and I send gifts out daily. My trainer code is 6159 7136 5317 and user name is firefly163s. You can also send me a pm on here if you're looking for specific Pokemon to trade. I haven't done any trades yet, but I'm interested in getting exclusives that are found outside the U.S.

Sent a friend request on the game.  :)

2 days: I was hired by an attorney to be his secretary. I struggled with learning so much so fast and he fired me at the end of my second day. There were so many red flags that made me glad it didn't work out: I found his job ad on Craigslist. When I went into my interview, he told me that one of the reasons he'd chosen me as a candidate was because as a man he could see me as more of an equal than if he were to hire a woman. Mind you, he was married and his wife handled the financial side of the business. A few years after he fired me he was disbarred and moved to the opposite side of the country.

Want. Love all the Halloween G3s. And I agree with others, she and Fun Fairy don't fit with the holiday, but I still like her.

I love this pony! She is a favorite in my G3 collection. She is IMHO the prettiest Halloween pony, and with Halloween being my birthday she was an absolute must have. She and Autumn Skye are the two G3s that I feel represent me. Those 2, with the additions of Apple Spice, Lavender Cloud and Desert Blossom make up my top 5 for G3.

I would love molded-hair versions of ponies from the G1 cartoon!

I absolutely second this!

I had a big collection of Colorforms as a kid. This would easily have been my favorite.

I just saw this thread and had to share an experience I had that brought my attention to Best By dates and what I learned about their regulation in the United States.

Last year, I bought a cold beverage from the refrigerator section of a convenience store. When I drank it, I found that it tasted absolutely nasty. Then I looked at the Best By date; that date had passed 4 years prior! I did some online research. Apparently in most cases, with exceptions for meat and some dairy, these dates  are regarded as nothing more than an FYI for consumers that retailers are free to ignore in the U.S.

Pony Corral / Re: how did you start collecting?
« on: October 22, 2020, 03:26:08 PM »
I was a big fan in the mid 1980s and started collecting then. I had roughly 20 ponies as a kid. But my parents didn't feel a boy should collect ponies and pushed for me to sell most of them by age 8 or so via a yard sale. My appreciation for the franchise never went away, and I'd picked up a couple more ponies even after the yard sale purge. By age 11 or 12, I sold off my remaining ponies. Then G3 debuted when I was 18.  I debated taking up collecting them, but opted not to until a few after college when I finally caved in and bought a couple. After collecting G3s for a couple years, I found I missed some of my childhood G1s and found I also wanted to acquire some I'd never had as a child. Now I have about 20 or 25 G1s and about 50 or 60 G3s.
