Pony Corral / Silly dilemma, what would you do?
« on: June 21, 2014, 10:10:21 AM »
I am stuck in a very silly dilemma which probably only people here would understand, haha.

Namely, a few days ago I picked up a whole Apple Delight family from the thrift store. They were a mess as you can see on the first picture, but they cleaned up pretty nicely. The thing is, they have obviously been together since always! They are a true pony family that was together for almost 20 years!! I know I shouldn't care but I do :blush:

Here's the problem: i already have an Apple Delight family. Mine is mismatched and members vary in condition. The little sister I have is in a very poor condition whereas the new one is in a pretty great condition. Daddies are similar but my Mommy and little brother are basically mint whereas the new ones have issues!

WHAT SHOULD I DO!? Haha, I know i'm silly, but I feel so bad breaking up the family!!

This is my family btw. I know apart from the sis the pictures don't show much difference, but the new brother and mommy's hair isn't as silky as it is on my ponies.

Off Topic / Guys! We're Icelandic champions :D
« on: March 02, 2014, 01:16:42 PM »
We just won our female hockey league, for the first time in 5 years :accomplished: Maybe some of you remember my last year's post, first about actually getting to play hockey, then about me making the team. Well, this season I've been a regular and we did so well! :D I'm so happy and wanted to share with all you wonderful people :lovey:

We do have one small tournament left, which will be next week between us and our biggest rivals where we can win another trophy, but even if we don't, this is a huge success :)

Well, if anyone can help me out, I would be forever grateful :accomplished:

Off Topic / Fangirling/Fanboying - when does it end!?
« on: October 31, 2013, 01:40:09 AM »
Ok, so I consider myself a mature woman of 28. Why is it that I can still get all fluttery and excited and fangirly over stuff like I'm 12?

I still catch myself daydreaming about the stuff I'm fangirling, spending hours at night while my husband's asleep watching youtube clips etc.

Yesterday I realised that my activities are eerily similar to my 14 year old cousin's activities :P (she's a 1Der, my fandoms are different, but we act the same way, lol!).

Obviously, I'm happy about this fact and if I can have it my way, I never want to change. But it did get me thinking, why aren't there more people my age doing this? Or has the society trained us so well that we should "grow out of it" at some point and that it's not ok to be silly at this age?

Ok, enough banter. Tell me, do you guys do this and what are your current "obsessions".

Mine has been Supernatural (the TV show) for a few years and I still adore it every bit, it makes me laugh and it makes me cry :lovey:
I'm also still fangirling various animes and mangas (mostly those made by CLAMP), and last but not least, there are always some rock bands I'm fangirling over. Most recently The Cooper Temple Clause and Funeral for a Friend :P

please tell me I'm not alone!

Pony Corral / Calling all G3 Minty experts :)
« on: September 04, 2013, 11:21:41 AM »
Please educate me :) I want to know about all the versions of G3 Minty in donkey pose.

Which one came out when and which ones are more/less common. I'm trying to decide which one to keep or if i should keep all of them but I don't really know much about them.

Needless to say that pictures are encouraged ^^

Pony Corral / How to clean coffee stains? :s
« on: August 29, 2013, 12:50:33 PM »
So I picked up a Baby Sleepy Pie from the thrift store today, but she had a huge brown stain - I chose to believe it was coffee :P

It also went to the first strand of her hair and when I tried to clean that, the hair just broke off which tells me that it was scorched by hot liquid (any other ideas?).

So I washed her but the big stain is still there and magic eraser didn't help.  Any ideas how to deal with this without destroying her eyes which are actually quite ok?

Off Topic / 10th anniversary + a wonderful birthday surprise!
« on: August 07, 2013, 07:06:43 PM »
So, today is my birthday, but that in itself is nothing too important to me. What is important is that today marks a 10th anniversary since I became vegetarian!! :):) It was my first adult decision (I was patiently waiting to turn 18) and it's the best decision i've ever made!

Also, my mom and husband went to this store here in Iceland that we found out sometimes stocks Serbian (where I'm from) food stuffs, and they bought me a surprise present of some of my favourite sweets!!! You guys have no idea how much this means to me. Serbian sweets are the only thing I really miss about living there (apart from friends and family ofc) and I have resigned myself to the idea that I will never have them here, BUT NOW I DO!!

I'm so ridiculously happy about something so trivial :P so I had to share ^^

Off Topic / Anyone interested in these toys? also some ID help?
« on: August 06, 2013, 05:47:37 PM »
I have this bunch of random toys and was wondering if anything here is collectable or worth anything before I donate them away.
The lion cub on the right is Schleich, and an old one at that (net says it ran from 1992 to 2003 but it looks much older than my schleich that are from late 1990s).

If you're interested in anything, let me know, I'm practically giving them away (maybe charge a dollar or two on those that I recognise).

Off Topic / Who here lives away from their home country?
« on: July 01, 2013, 12:52:41 PM »
I know we have some members, myself included, that live in a country other than the one they were born/raised in. So I was just wondering what your experiences were, how you like it and if you plan to move back?

alternatively, do you plan to, or would you like to live somewhere else?

Off Topic / Kinder Surprise figurine trade - anyone interested?
« on: May 30, 2013, 05:30:30 PM »
Hey guys :)
So, when I was a kid, a Kinder egg was my daily treat after lunch and I have accumulated a lot of figurines. I would now like to complete some of my sets but before I go to ebay (which I would prefer not to :S) I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to trade?
I have some doubles and some random Kinder egg stuff that people might like (I'm sticking to hand painted ones).
Please let me know if interested ^^ Oh, and in case you want some of the kinder figurines I have but don't have some to trade, contact me nevertheless :) I'm sure we can figure something out (no pun intended!)

Following are random, pointless pictures of some of my favourite sets :P

Off Topic / PC on old Hello Kitty Post Office playset
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:04:53 AM »
I will be selling this adorable Hello Kitty playset. I can't find it anywhere online so I have no idea what it includes, but the truck itself in in great condition though dusty. Figurines are in poor condition though and the first two pics are missing one kitty, you can see her on the third pic.

A PC would be very welcome and if you're interested, let me know

Also, there is a Hello kitty scooter that used to work but doesn't seem to any more. There is nothing obviously wrong with it so maybe it could be fixed.
