I'm going to use this person's pseudonym, Jean 8. Aeglothecca, as her identity. Jean is someone I've known my entire life, she's known me even before I was born! We lost touch a little bit there, but for 6 years now, we've been emailing back in forth, I lived with her for a little while. I love her so much. This is why this brag means a lot to me. You see, Jean 8. is an author. She's written small stuff, and now she's on her way to writing her first novel to hopefully hit it big time. I'm one of her beta readers, I enjoy everything she's written. I like to think I've had a small impact with her about the books. She wanted me opinion on the book cover, the layover of the words, the font, the pictures. I think I even helped with the titles! The book, I loved, through and through. I've read it, reread it. And mayhaps I am just biased, because of the author. But, I would have told her to if the book really wasn't any good. This is book 1 of 4, I've read all four. I was left hanging by cliff hangers, I've emailed her upset over them. I've been shocked, I cried, I laughed... It's amazing. I think these books mean almost as much to me as they do to her. The first link is to her editor's website, to give you an insight into the book. It really does put me in the mind of a scifi futuristic post-apocalyptic world, Beauty and the Beast, where Beauty is seriously kick butt. The second link is to the Amazon store. If you like to read, I'd definitely pick this up! I mean, you pick it up, you won't be putting it down until it's done. West of Mars: The Pale Waters Amazon Store: The Pale WatersI'm so proud of her and so happy to support her in any way I can. I want to share this accomplishment with the world, so... what better world than the pony world?  Please, help me support Jean 8. as well! Give the story a try, it isn't that long, isn't expensive, and definitely worth it!  Thanks everyone for reading my brag! -Iva

I just love embroidery thread. The colors, it's easy to work with... and takes considerably less time to rehair a pony with it. Up for your consideration is Drink n Wet Baby Rainfeather. I have no idea the colors, I know they're a little too strong for him, but overall, I like it. Hopefully the picture came out not too dark!

APA: Alcoholic Ponies Anonymous
Over the course of my collecting, I've picked up a few "drunk ponies." You know the ponies, can't stand on their own four hooves, always leaning on somepony or something.
What are your best tips for getting these girls to stand on their own again??

I just seriously found 5 G1s that I do not have... at Goodwill. GOODWILL! My last find of G1s was about 2 years ago. My friend works in the back and she told me she had completely forgotten to message me about them, she had just put them out yesterday. I had people laughing at me because I was so ecstatic over this bag of what looked like hair. Haha. Pictures! They all need a bath, big time. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWhizzer - MLW.org shows her with light blue eyes, but this Whizzer has very dark blue eyes.

This Sunday my boyfriend and I are dressing up, going to the Renn Faire and having a wonderful time at it! I LOVE the Renn Faire. I tried on my costume last night and fiddled with my hair this morning. Here's pictures of my costume: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI don't know if I'm wearing those nets, or my nets with flowers on it. (Most likely flowers.) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginDecided I'm going to flip my skirt inside out, so the yellow just peeks out when I walk.

The white shirt is new! I really like how it looks. Here is what I'm thinking for my hair. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginPossibly going to do green ribbons to match my boyfriend's kilt or a green flower or something.

As some of you know, my grandmother passed away in November. My mother went down about a month ago to help her sisters and brother clean out her house. She found me this beauty and I'm so proud to have it. Knowing that, at one point in time, my grandmother picked this out, touched it, held it... makes it all the more special to me. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI found this small unicorn at Goodwill. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd today, at the local flea market, I ran across a 1977 Thumkey/Monchhichi! The guy just let me have it, but it made my day! (I had two MIB Monchhichis from the 70s but donated them back when I was told I had too much stuff.) This little guy is SUPER dirty. I'm going to scrub his face really good with a baby wipe, but not sure how to clean his fur. I was thinking putting him inside of a pillow case and then put on delicate cycle. But... my washer's delicate cycle isn't all that delicate. And that IS his original bib! (He has one hand that has a thumb to go in his mouth and the other is a banana, hehe.) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginPost Merge: August 03, 2013, 04:50:11 PMOH!

Back before my parents bought their house, I had a small collection of G1s and vintage Rainbow Brite toys. By small, I mean maybe 5 RB toys and 8 or 9 G1s. When we moved house, I told my brother and brother in law to put my boxes in my new bedroom. They assured me they would. Needless to say, they didn't. Several boxes ended up in their garage. It's been about 3 years now, I've made several excursions out there, to no avail. My last excursion was today. I had a friend with me, and between the mice, the mice droppings and spiders/webs EVERYWHERE, we didn't get very far. (We ran across two live mice, omg. I screamed like a little girl.) My mom won't let us go out there and clean it up, because we would throw a lot of stuff away and she has kind of a hoarding mentality. She won't throw things away, though she keeps a "tidy" house. I don't know how well I packed up that box, it may have been a tub with a nice fitted lid. I don't remember. But, it's been 3 years in a garage, how well do you think my collection has fared?? I once got ponies that were sitting in an attic for over 20 years, they came out with brown spots on them that won't go away. I'm a little disappointed because they were in near mint shape when they went into the garage, I'm betting they won't be now.

Welp, I finally got around to cleaning up some ponies. They had tons of brown marks all over them. And no, after several soaks in oxy clean, they didn't go away. Lightened up, yes. I can deal with it until I decide to try my hand at sun fading. My issue is the residue on the Oxy Clean is a b*&^h and won't come off of my ponies, no matter how hard I scrub. T_T I've done lots of elbow grease and Dawn detergent. Will the residue ever come off?! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginNot sure if y'all can see it, but it's there.

I want to know, has there ever been a food or drink or anything that you swore up and down, left and right, backwards and forwards that you would never ever EVER like? You'd never try it, smell it, look at it.
For me, I thought I'd never like ... cream cheese.
I LOVE cheesecake, but it never occurred to me that... hey, it's actually flavored cream cheese.
I love cream cheese now. I have regular cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese and caramel cream cheese in my fridge right now. I'm going to make cheesecake with the regular cream cheese. ^_^ Some day soon. Haha.

My mother in law posted this picture to my boyfriend's Facebook for Father's Day. My boyfriend is the one on the left, his younger brother on the right. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWhat a poor, poor pony. Being sat on in a closet! (See it there, under Little Brother's leg? Haha.) Apparently, she was my sister in laws... and she did not appreciate her toys being sat on. Haha.

So, my 86 Orc hunter is on a mission. Her mission is to have every spirit beast in the game. So far, she has all Wrath beasts and Ghostcrawler from Vash'jir.
Ban'thalos (the owl in Hyjal) is giving me the run around. (And several other players on my realm I've been in touch with.) Do'nt even get me started on the kitties in Hyjal. They're realllly sought after on Stormreaver.
Would any Horde players on different realms be willing to help me capture this awesome bird?
The way it would work, you'd add me onto Battletag (jealeen#1563) if the bird is up, you'd invite me to group and I'd be transported to your realm. From there, I'd tag the bird, tame him and cry with happiness.
I'll return the favor for any other hunters.
FOR THE HORDE!

I've reading that some people have used oxy clean, bleach, even denture whitening tabs to clean their ponies. My question is, how? What do you do with their hair? I started cleaning some ponies that came from an almost 20 year stint in an attic, so they're a little grungy. I'd like to get the white ponies as close to white as I can, before I try my hand at sunfading. Also: have a picture of Cherries Jubilee drying! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
