... you deliberately outbid people on a duplicate of a pony you already own - this wasn't an accidental purchase. And it's a Mountain Boy. :blush:
How do you know you are addicted to ponies? ;)
-
When I wake up at 4.30am and instead of trying to go back to sleep, I'm looking on here and eBay to see if there's any ponies I can buy XD
-
Haha! I love this thread! :like:
I know I'm addicted to ponies when...
It's hard to resist the urge to buy more packs of MLP Trading Cards when I see them in the store even though I have the complete set. :P
-
When you add a random small town to your family's road trip because you checked their local listings and someone is selling G1s. I only did that once, but it was totally worth it!
"We're stopping here for lunch."
"Why?"
"It looks like a nice place (no restaurants in sight)...Oh look, ponies!"
-
I know I'm addicted to ponies when:
1. I have a huge room dedicated to them and while setting them up I still don't fit them all.... And then I log straight on here and Ebay to see if I can find ponies to complete my sets >.<
2. When I look at my budget, tell myself I can not afford to buy more ponies this month and that I just have to wait untill next month. Then I see this one pony I just can't resist, and then another, and then another... and then I tell myself I'll survive on potnoodles the rest of the month cuz' I just HAVE to have those ponies.

ROFL I'VE DONE THAT TOO! :lmao:

...when you keep muttering to yourself "I'm a Ponie!" randomly. (yes no kidding, and yes meant to misspell it that way:P.)
-
... when your "want list" keeps growing and growing, even though you tell yourself you're not a "gotta catch 'em all" collector. :blush:
... when your workstation features as many ponies and pony-related items as pictures of your son (okay, I'm still two ponies short of son photos, but it's getting close...).
... when they know you on a first-name basis at your local thrift shop and tell you when they've got promising lots of toys coming up from storage.

Ok, the last one might be me - the stock person at my local Savers told me this week that he saves all of the ponies for me (but he doesn't know my name.). :)

I do that all the time!
-
when you tell your ponies good night, and have conversations with them.
-
When you set your alarm for 2am, then 4am and then 5am despite having to be at the office for 9am that morning - why? because there are pony auctions ending...no doubt all for duplicate accessory items which I already have!
-
When you get all excited when your parents have to go to target or wall mart (Only 14, no license!) so you can look for ponies.
-
when you stoop at every thrift store and wallgrins and flea market yard sale and dig thoruhg all the toy bins to look for ponys!
get your mother to help you dig.
volunteer to help work in a toy room at a local thrift store just to find more ponys
find out when your local fmaily dollar gets there toy shipment so you can go check for ponys.

When you take a pony to a movie theatre and spend more time focused on the pony than the movie itself XD

:whew: I thought I was the only one!
-
Searching a 50 mile radius for ponies or going to every Family Dollar in town, including those in the not-so-nice-portions of town searching for the older G4 releases. My background on my teaching computer is randomly changing vector art ponies. My desk at work has all my blindbags on it. All of my students know I love ponies. Umm... My dining room table has been taken over by ponies [okay, and Monster High] until I can get a set of bookshelves.
-
When you have to start spending money on shelving for your ponies.

Not only guilty of that, I'll go you one better!
You bring your traveling pony (Sunrise Song) to your computer networking class, and spend as much mental effort explaining things to her as you do on the material. It's...not at all unlike having a curious little sister tagging along. :satisfied:
One of our more memorable conversations:
"Wow! And I thought it was hard to get little children to play nice together!"
"Yeah...computers are a lot like little kids, because a lot of the time they won't do what you tell them. And you even can't spank a computer or give it a time-out if it won't behave, because they don't have any feelings."
"Yeah - but at least you don't have to change their diapers."
My teacher soon asked what the heck I was giggling so hard about. :lol:
-
While my boyfriend and I were in the process of breaking up and I was trying to sort everything out in my head, I had several ponies take different sides of the issue and they talked it out with me. (All in my imagination, of course! I'm not crazy!)
Garden Glow: That feeling is your heart telling you not to leave him! You love him! Don't lose someone so good!
Merriweather: Psh. Please. That's just your body talking.
Up Up and Away: Perhaps, but it's natural to feel that way. You're lonely right now. Don't be hard on yourself.
Merriweather: Yeah, be hard on him! He doesn't know what a good thing he has! There's plenty of sea ponies in the ocean, sister.
Up Up and Away: But you two should stay friends! He still cares for you.
Garden Glow: Yes, he does! He needs you!
Merriweather: She didn't mean like that! You aren't helping!!
Wind Whistler: What you need is a job. None of this boyfriend business really matters anyway.
Firecracker Burst: All these "feelings" are just chemistry and brainwaves anyway. There is no deep meaning to any of this. Does that help?
Love Melody: Love is more than romantic feelings, dear. Do you love him enough to let him go?
Snuzzle: Don't be sad. You know it was all for the best, and I promise you will be happy again. It's all a part of life.
So you know you're obsessed with ponies when you literally solve your problems with ponies. And it works!
Baby Glory: Noponyspecial, what are all the big ponies talking about? Come play with me instead! *frolic frolic*
Okay, maybe I am crazy. :P
-
My desk is overrun with ponies, talking Cadence is on my keyboard right now, while the 3 princess watch from the left, FSs and customs on my printer, more customs and other brushables on my right, plushies near my lamp...
-
When you go to a thrift store and tell your spouse "I'm not buying any ponies, unless they are G1" ( obviously she knows G2s would be bought on site too)
And then walk out with a Basket FULL of MaNgY G3s that I just felt too sorry to leave!!! XD
I tell you I got pony-on-the-brain disease .... 24x7!
-
When you have to get rid of your bed just so your ponies can have more space in your bedroom...Oh the sacrifice :D!
-
When you set your alarm clock to get up early so you'll have time to get to the store and grab some ponies before you go to work. (This is a big deal for me since I am not a morning person at all!)
-
When you have a full bag of ponies for sale but you just can't let them go (and yes I mean BIG bag, I can't abandon them)
-
When I'm hitting the refresh button on ebay every 5 mins in the hope something new has just been listed.
When I tell myself I don't need to buy any new clothes this month (TBH I don't I've got loads but I used to go clothes shopping every payday) because there are too many ponies I need.
When I'm trying to get my 3 year old son into G4's (I'm a G1 collector) then I can go to TRU and buy him all the play sets guilt free. Unfortunately at the moment he isn't biting but I'll give it a few more tries hehe.

When you have to start spending money on shelving for your ponies.
I can so relate to this!
-
When you have to start spending money on shelving for your ponies.
or worse all of your ponies are still in boxes cause you keep spending your shelving money on more ponies!
-
You want The Hub for one thing.
-
When I'm bummed that it's Sunday (or a Holiday) because the mail doesn't come, therefore no chance of ponies.

-
When you sing pony songs at work at the top of your lungs and get told that if you're going to sing something, it better not be children's tv lol
-
When you watch Pawn Stars and wonder how many ponies they probably have in the toy display cases. :lol:

get your mother to help you dig.

When you have more space occupied by ponies than on any other thing (need more walls!!!).
When you can recognize a pony at sight without actually having to check it's symbol (on G1s).

When I'm bummed that it's Sunday (or a Holiday) because the mail doesn't come, therefore no chance of ponies.
Lol I'm right there with you XD We usually get some mail on the weekends but it's only advertisment stuff. During the week when I hear the mail comes I jump out of my chair and rush to the door to see if there's anything to pick up at the postoffice or if anything has come in the mailbox.
On weekends when I hear the mailslot slam I just stay put and go: "meh, it's weekend, nothing fun will show up today anyway."

I created this website... www.strawberryreef.com I've gone way past addicted a while ago :)
-
you know when you are addicted to ponies when......
you use the £10 a bottle shampoo on you ponies and the shampoo you got from the pound shop on yourself :blush:
love pkw xxx

Your parents would seriously groud you for life if they knew how much you spent on ponies, and you're 35!
-
... when you start eyeballing the various sale items at Target that require a certain purchase for a $5 gift card, because it means you can get a FREE pony! :lol:
Let's just say I'm set on catfood for a while right now... HAHA!
And you also eyeball various deals in the CVS flyer... because any discount/CVS Bucks/Coupon equals $$ off on their (expensive) older ponies! :lol:

Target IS the cheapest place to find my cat litter, and you're never gonna NOT need cat litter, right? Maybe they'll put that on the $5 gift card list one day. ;)
-
It's an addiction when you're partner sees how much it makes you smile to buy and play with them and now buys them for you...
Despite the fact you're allegedly on a "no more ponies until PonyConUK".

But cat litter IS on the list... Right now... they have "buy any two cat care items (on some participating list), and recieve a free $5 gift card..."
I think I came away with 3 $5 gift cards a week or so ago (this promotion was available almost all of August). I purchased 4 bags of cat food... and 2 things of cat litter....
And now... I'm tempted to go back and get more cat litter. :lol:
I'd at least check! Maybe it varies by Target... but the ad this week still had it listed as on sale... :lol:

When you really really want any excuse to visit Toys R Us...to look and play with ponies.

When your mother says ... Dont you have enough??

My dad said he would reward me if I get all A's.
Guess what that reward would be? :P

Ahh, well my parents are keeping my animals for me right now while I'm selling my house, so when my mom went to buy cat litter, if she got $5 gift certificates, it's pretty safe to assume she didn't spend them on ponies. But it would explain why there's like, a dozen 35-lb containers of cat litter in their garage right now. I can't complain though, they took in my whole zoo :)

When that set completer pony haunts a person's dreams. When you hear other pony people talk about ponies they want and you end up putting those ponies on your own list. ><: Poniemon gotta catch em all.

I think this means im addicted. Its 2:35 AM here and I cant sleep. Im here instead. Why? Because I won this huuuuge pony lot a while ago. I was promised a shipping time of 8-30 days. Tomorrow its been 30 days. Its friday, so it either comes tomorrow morning when I wake up or Im sure its lost in mail and will never arrive.
:cloud:

If its international shipping you could be talking longer than 30 days unfortunately...I hope your lot arrived :hug:.

It didnt arrive yesterday, but im trying to stay positive and hope it arrives next week. Its from Canada to Finland, so it probably takes a long time. Im just soo worried it gets lost in mail. :cry: And I was so stupid I didnt realise it probably gets stuck in customs too. bah!

Canada to Finland? Don't worry, that package has a long journey to take and I'm sure it'll come eventually.

Canadian post can be notoriously slow and I wouldnt think they are never going to arrive just yet.
If you make a post over in Trader Support you ll get some great advice :)
