Off Topic / Total Solar Eclipse Monday April 8th
« on: April 08, 2024, 06:13:41 AM »
Hi,

Most of the US will see a solar eclipse today.  I live outside the path of totality so it will be around 90-95 % totality.  I don't have eclipse glasses or anything so I'll have to be content to watch the coverage on TV.   There is an eclipse party at a local museum, but it's going to be so crowded that I don't want to go. 

Don't look at the eclipse without the right eye protection. :cool:

A couple of G1 retro art pictures have been found at Walmart.  There is a  small picture and a larger picture.  I found the small one today.

The large picture shows Blossom and a few other ponies in the grass.

I have a pic of the back of the small MLP picture's barcode if anyone wants me to post it.

Off Topic / My Detolf cabinet from Ikea shattered
« on: September 22, 2023, 03:49:43 PM »
I got a Detolf cabinet from Ikea years ago.  Today while I was at work, the glass door shattered. :(  No one was close to it at the time.  My elderly dog's bed is close to the cabinet and she got covered in glass.  My parents took my dolls out and removed the shelves while I was at work.  The price for the cabinet has doubled from what it was when it was originally bought. I also don't live close to an Ikea store. I had to go 6 hours one way for that one.  I know the most important thing is that no one was hurt and my dolls are okay, but this wasn't what I was expecting at all when I got off work.

Off Topic / Anyone had any trouble with Hulu?
« on: September 16, 2023, 10:03:35 AM »
I've had Hulu for years.  Long before Disney bought most of the company.  When I signed up for Disney + last year, I made sure that I signed up for that service separately from Hulu, because I didn't want to bundle Disney + and Hulu together.  Never had a problem with Hulu until now. 


Last week I got an email from Hulu that the price is going up.  I tried to log in to Hulu the other day to accept the price change and it told me that my login is blocked.  I thought I might have made a mistake with the username/password, so I deleted my history, reopened the browser, and tried again.  I haven't logged in to Hulu for a long time, but it's the same as my Disney Plus login.  I thought logging in to one also counts as logging in with the other.  I wasn't ready to give Hulu up yet, but if I can't watch it, what's the point?  I don't want to mess around with it too much, because I don't want to mess up my Disney + account.  I tried logging in to Disney + after that and my login was still good for Disney.


I read on some blogs that sometimes you can get that message when trying to log on to Hulu if there's a glitch on Hulu's side of things.  I'm hoping that might be what the problem is and there's nothing wrong with the account. As long as I keep the subscription up to date, it shouldn't matter how often I log in to watch it right? Out of all my streaming services, it's the one that I don't use as often, but as long as Hulu gets their money, there shouldn't be problem.  If Disney also owns part of Hulu now, I don't see why it works on Disney and not on Hulu.


We got a new modem a few months back and for a while it wasn't showing our location correctly, so I wonder if that's part of the problem.   Some sites did act a little crazy once the modem was up and running.  I got a few "Is this really you?" emails from a few sites that I went to.  Also, I didn't get any type of email from Hulu when I tried to log in. 

I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd logged in to Hulu, but I keep the subscription updated and they got their money for the last billing date.  Since it still works on Disney +, it has to be a Hulu issue.  I tried looking at blogs to resolve the issue, but most of them just said to reset the password.  I know what the password is and I don't want to reset it because that would also reset it on Disney +.

I guess I'm going have to call Hulu support, but I don't want to mess up my Disney + account trying to get Hulu fixed.  I also don't want to keep paying for it, if I can't watch.  I'm trying to get enough energy up to call them.

Sigs & Site Support / Did Guest Mode return?
« on: September 11, 2023, 06:12:55 AM »
Hi,

I know for a long time, we've had to log in to be able to see anything here.  I noticed the last couple of times I logged out or brought up the Arena, I was able to see most of the posts without logging in first.  I'm just wondering if there was a site update?

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Moon Blast Off Game
« on: August 29, 2023, 05:59:04 AM »
Hi,

Does anyone else remember this game?  My grandparents had it along with a few other games.  I found a video on Youtube where someone shows how the game works.  It can be a noisy game and the guy talks a lot so you might want to watch with the sound off. 


I wish I would have been able to save this game and some other things my grandparents had, but I'm pretty sure my aunt thought it was junk and got rid of it.

Off Topic / Fruit Snacks and other foods you enjoyed as a kid.
« on: July 22, 2023, 08:02:47 AM »
When I was looking through Facebook on my phone one day this week, I saw a post about fruit snacks from the 80's and 90's.  One of the brands featured were the Berry Bears.  I think I ate those at least once because I remember the purple pegasus fruit snacks.  I looked on Ebay and found the same pegaus toy that I have a vague memory of coming from a box of fruit snacks.  It turns out that the pegaus toy is one of the toys that came with Berry Bears. 

Here's a commercial for Berry Bears fruit snacks.

Today I like Welch's fruit snacks. :)  What fruit snacks did you like as a kid and which ones do you eat today?

The Dollhouse / Let's Talk About Lady Lovely Locks
« on: July 02, 2023, 07:22:53 PM »
Hi,

The Lady Lovely Locks adoptables by Square Peg made me think we should have a topic about LLL. 

What toys did you want/have?  Did you have any other LLL stuff like books luchboxes, etc...?

I only had 2 Lady Lovely Locks dolls, Sparkle  Pretty LLL and ballerina Maiden Fairhair.  I must have gotten those near the end of LLL being in stores because I don't remember a lot of stuff on the shelves.  My friend had a LLL book that I finally found a copy of on Ebay.  For years I could only remember one part of the story and had no idea what the book was called.  I do have a vague memory of renting some videos from the grocery store, but it was the same video every time  even when the box said it was a different one

Pony Brag Arena / Basic Fun 40th anniversary plushies Pic Heavy
« on: June 28, 2023, 04:09:04 PM »
Hi,

I got the Basic Fun 40th anniversary plushies.  I love them.   :lovey: :lovey: :lovey: :lovey:

I was wondering how they would arrive.  I knew from someone's post on here that they would come in bag.  I was happy to see that Amazon put them in a shipping box and didn't just stick a label on the bag.  Moondancer decided to be different and arrive in a separate box from Glory and Firefly even though I ordered all 3 at the same time. :lol:

How they arrived:

I think the air pillow was actually on top of Moondancer, but I had already moved it when I took the pic.

After I opened the bags....

Glory also had cardboard around her horn, but when I was taking her out of her bag, the cardboard protector flew off. 


Out of the box with the things holding their manes and tails removed.

Off Topic / Diamond painting thread 2.0
« on: April 30, 2023, 06:50:36 AM »
Hi,
I thought I'd start a new thread for discussing diamond panting since the old one was closed and I've seen a few people mention it in BC's interviews.

I just started my 7th diamond panting the other day. :D It takes me quite a while to do them because I don't get to work on them every day. I also have a small diamond art panting that I bought at Walmart that I've been working on too. 

My current project is my first Diamond Art Club canvas. I've already noticed some differences between it and the ones I usually do from Diamond Dots/Leisure Arts. 

I'm having a little trouble getting used to using the right amount of wax on the diamonds with the shiny stuff on them.  I used too much at first and some of the way came off on the diamonds.  I think I finally figured it out though.

Feel free to share pictures and talk about your current projects. :D

Pony Brag Arena / Typo ornaments brag
« on: December 22, 2022, 07:03:33 AM »
Hi,

Thanks to some great pony friends, I was able to get a set of the Typo G1 ornaments.  :D  They're really pretty in person.  They are a little heavier than I expected (probably too heavy for the tree) but I still love them.

Pony Corral / Hide and Sleep Tents commercial
« on: September 16, 2022, 06:11:05 AM »
Hi,

I just found this on Youtube.  It's an ad for Hide and Sleep Tents featuring GI Joe, MLP, Transformers and Cabbage Patch Kids. It amuses me that 90% of the commercial is for the GI Joe tent with a only a few seconds featuring MLP.  The Cabbage Patch Kids tent is only seen at the end.  The MLP part starts at 12 seconds.

Off Topic / Spotify vs Apple Music?
« on: September 03, 2022, 03:42:28 PM »
Hi,

I've been thinking about signing up for Spotify but I'm also considering Apple Music.  I'd like opinions on both services. It seems like there's a lot more songs on Spotify vs Apple Music at a glance.

I've tried Pandora in the past but wasn't happy with.  Also, I'd like to stick to a free service for now as budget is already tight.
