Off Topic / "kindness Rocks project" Painting rocks with messages
« on: July 02, 2017, 07:08:08 PM »
Does anyone here live in a community that's doing the paint-a-rock and hide it about town fad known as "the kindness Rocks project"?  I first heard about this on my sister-in-law's blog, as she and my niece are doing it.  They live on the other side of the state from me.  Well, only a few days after learning about this fad, I find a rock outside my clinic's door.  It turns out there is a group doing it in my county too.

Well, I just painted my first two rocks, but I decided to be sneaky with mine.  Only toy collectors or die-hard 80's kids will get the true meaning of my rocks.  The first is white and has so-soft Paradise's symbol with the phrase "Find your own Paradise." And the other has Tenderheart bear's symbol with " Have a Tender Heart".  I'd like to continue with other secret pony messages, like pink hearts and "have a Peachy day!" And so on and so on.

So has any one else heard of these positivity rocks?

I wish we could post pictures directly from our smart phones here so I could show you mine.

Sigs & Site Support / Avatar gone?
« on: June 05, 2017, 05:25:57 PM »
Hi there, I've had the same avatar for years, a green Pegasus based on my persona that was created by another arena member for me.  I just noticed today it is gone.  I don't think it would be a size issue because, like I said, I've had it for years.  In my profile it now says no avatar.  I did not remove it.
Help?

Anyone on here near Anderson, South Carolina?  Have you heard of the Jockey Lot?  Any good G1 hunting there?  I may be going by there soon.

Spotted first hummingbird of the season!  I'm near Atlanta, Georgia, and our feeders have been out for about a week, and just saw my first returning hummer a few minutes ago!

Pony Corral / G1 Rainbow Pony animation
« on: March 27, 2017, 07:29:29 PM »
If the g1 rainbow pony trailer/animation is still out there on youtube, does anyone have any links to it?  I haven't seen it in years.  Those who remember, it was in the style of the first two specials.

Pony Corral / G4 pretzel
« on: March 08, 2017, 04:35:40 PM »
I saw a g4 Pretzel yesterday.  I never got into collecting g4's because I want more g1 characters other than Applejack brought back into the spotlight (I know they brought back Moondancer, but I didn't like how grumpy and ugly they made her character on the show).  And I know we have discussed name rights Hasbro may have lost or still have here in the arena, but it makes me upset they make a character named Twist, and a toy named Pretzel, when they could have just added a g4 version of Twist to the show.  Like when on FIM Twilight Sparkle calls a male pony Lickety Split.  Why not just let the real Lickety Split join the show? 
Sorry, just venting.  I wish Hasbro took care of their pony collectors the same way they do with their Transformers collectors with the Generations line.
Oh, one more vent: if auto-correct changes Lickety to Pickett one more time...

Off Topic / Amazing
« on: February 15, 2017, 01:14:21 PM »

In about 20 minutes I'm receiving an award for a piece of artwork that includes a mentorship with an art director for an Atlanta publishing company.  This might open new doors for me!




The most amazing thing in my entire life has happened and I have no one to tell  :cry:  I can't tell anyone details yet, I have been asked to keep quiet until March, but it involves my artwork!  I have never been so excited or nervous!  I will tell my parents this evening, but I wish I had a close friend that I could call and tell now, so I'm telling my fellow pony collectors here!  I was eating lunch when I opened the email and I started crying in the restaurant.  :biggrin:  This could be life changing.

Arts & Crafts Corral / Arena fanfic question
« on: September 21, 2016, 06:20:11 PM »
Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but In the archive are any old fanfic stories still able to be found?  I lost a lot of my stuff years ago when my computer died and I didn't know if my story I posted could be retrieved somehow?  Thanks in advance if anyone has any info.

I just got my third Mountain boy pony, Fireball, (so I now have Ice Crystal, Lightning and Fireball) as well as my first Tales pony, Bright Eyes, and my first two playschool babies, Pictures and Count a Lot.  So excited to be able to collect again.  Thanks to the Delaney's sale page for these additions!

Pony Brag Arena / Finally will have all my old G1 ponies (now with pics)
« on: August 08, 2016, 10:23:53 AM »
I have not been around much due to lack of computer, lack of internet, and lack of money to further my pony collection.  I hadn't been on eBay in so long my account had been deactivated, loosing all of my 100% positive feedback along with it. :cry:
Well, I now have access to the web again and thanks to the Delaney's pony sale page, I have the last two ponies I needed to complete the ponies I once had as a child: mail order Star Hopper and baby Clipper.   :biggrin:
Besides being the last to complete my childhood collection, they were also the last two I acquired as a child before my parents destroyed or made me get rid of all the ponies I had as a kid.  Applejack was melted away in a burning barrel. :cry:

Well, beside getting Star Hopper and Clipper I also got three of the birthflower ponies, a few non-US ponies, Stockings, and an upgrades for my Powder (w/ backcard) and Baby Ribbs.
I also hope to reconnect with old friends here and start posting pony art again.

Pony Corral / Baby G1 Apple Delight Variant??
« on: August 14, 2015, 10:17:51 AM »
Is there any big deal between a Hong Kong baby Apple and a made in China baby Apple when it comes to desirability, rarity, etc?  I just noticed that I had two baby Apple Delights, and one has light purple hair with curly mane to the right, and the other has pink eyes and straight hair mane to the left.  Big deal or not?

I apologize if this has been found and discussed already, but I searched the forums and couldn't see any posts about this.
