My daughter is learning letters today and has started to say the phonic names for letters in the word d u c k, because it's her favourite word. We were using giant foam letters to learn with. When she brought over to me the letter F I kept telling her that we didn't need it to say 'duck' but for some reason she insisted. I keep having the strange impression that she has lived many lives before.

I'm not sure what the 'phone compatibility issue is, but as a laptop user I like this format a lot and I think the only reason it's harder to display photos than on social media is because you have to host the photo elsewhere online and link to it in your post.

Ramble:

Spoiler
As far as I understand it, memory space costs money so unless running a business with a shady data collection model, it's not in anyone's interests to host thousand of photos and display them for free. I think people are just so used to having their every utterance displayed for free on the internet that they take it totally for granted as though it's normal, like pinning a sign to a telegraph pole for a lost cat. In that instance, everyone would tolerate it because it's a lost cat (aww) but in reality no-one likes to see bits of tatty paper adhering to the utilities equipment in their street. If we wish to support the function of free speech in a democracy etc. then a forum like Twitter should be better organised and run and funded by the state. Instead we let Amewrican AI companies provide this service for us and anyone who opts out is back writing to their local MP or risking being stoned at Speaker's Corner. I think sometimes people may forget that if it wasn't all being hoovered up into the 'beast' for the purposes of AI modelling of a 'new reality', no business would care about most of what what they have to say let alone host it on a website.

Is your pony blue?

Day Lily, Knick Knack, Lady Slipper, & Rose Garden are harder to find than the other Breezies. Day Lily, Knick Knack, & Lady Slipper remain on my Want List, while Rose Garden was a very lucky find!!!
Snippety Snap eludes me to this day!!!

I think the harder to find ones seem to be those bundled in with other ponies over here or maybe also in Europe. I actually just went and dug up my collection spreadsheet and the ones you mention seem to be bundled with another pony/release:
Rose Garden with Precious Gem
Lady Slipper with Fluttershy/Purse
Knick Knack with Star Bright (?)
Snippety Snap with the Petal Parlour

Of course, so is Day Lilly.

i'm sorry Ponyfan :hug: :hug: It takes time but it does get better.  for me it helped to look at photos.  my phone screen is still a photo of my Moose, who died in 2020 and Jessie, his BFF who is still with us.  it makes me smile when i see it.



my complaint today is i'm tired from the last couple of days. Also i think one of my dogs got into something while she was staying at my parents'. she has a couple of itchy spots. i need to give her a bath.
