Yesterday I found mine.  People always accuse me of being a push-over, and that I don't go after things that might be better. I am NOT a push-over, and why go after something better if it okay the way it is? But I have never been able to explain it to these people. Now I am.  Yesterday I was introduced to the first three life rules of St. Francis of Assisi. The first two apply to me as well, but the third rule IS me. And this is what it says: "In surrender I find peace, and I go my way unarmed. Peace is what I wish for friend and foe." What is your life motto, and why does it apply to you so much?

So I have a mushroom lamp on my nightstand, and there's a shelf with ponies right above it. This morning I discovered some goldish-yellow dots on my lamp.  My husband has exactly the same lamp on the other side of the bed, and there are no dots on it. Napper is right above the lamp (she was leaning over before, on the picture she was already moved a little to add more ponies), could it be that she is spilling glitter? There's definitely room for more glitter on her nose, so it's possible that there's some missing, but I honestly don't know. She's not sticky or anything. Or am I seeing things and are the dots just fly droppings or something, and is it a sheer coincidence that it's so close to Napper? Help?  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Just when I thought it was over, they shove more pony stuff in our faces.  Yes, that's a bad thing, my wallet would like some rest.  Anyway, they have these super sweet pajamas! They also have some sets with shorts, that I didn't get. I did get a set with Princess Sparkle that I can't seem to find on the website though, which also has a sunflower oil stain now because I was trying to cook a new meal. I hope they are available everywhere! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Anybody else excited for the 2017 release of Stephen King's IT? I certainly am! visitors can't see pics , please register or login What are your thoughts so far? Do you like the cast, the atmosphere? What do you hope for? Many people say that this version will never beat the "original", but I personally think the 1990 version is pretty awful. I liked it (I knew the TV movie before I read the book, that probably helped), but after reading the book I thought it was dreadful. Pretty much 75% (if not more) of the story is missing... Of course I don't know what they will and will not use in the new movie, but so far it looks much better! The atmosphere is perfect, and I think they chose the right kids. Except Eddie, he looks too... I don't know, spontaneous and popular? So... Thoughts?

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone could suggest any photo uploading sites? I used to use ImageShack, but you have to pay for that now, so I went with TinyPic. And now that one has stopped working for me!  Are there any simple sites out there? I really don't want to sign up with Photobucket or Flickr as there are too many options, plus I don't like it that Photobucket asks for your date of birth AND your zipcode... All I want is a simple link I can post on forums.  Thanks!

Some cats really have a specific hobby... What does your cat like to do?  One of my cats enjoys stealing napkins around the house (preferably used ones, and preferably right off the dining table when we look away for just a second, but she took some out of the napkin holder a few times as well). Not to rip them to pieces, that's too normal. No, she takes them too her water bowl, and drops them into the water. Then she just leaves them there. I have to refresh the water about three times a day... So I made a LOLcat out of her. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I never post in this forum, and now twice in a row.  Anyway, I was wondering if there is a maximum amount of messages you can store in your inbox? I still have messages from pretty much every sale or trade I did over the years, so it's getting pretty full now. I rarely use the PM system as I only use it for trades and sales, which is maybe once or twice a year. So the reason I started to worry about it now is that I'm back in pony business, and I'm afraid that messages might not reach me if my box is full, because I remember this system from another forum. Does it work like that on here too? Thanks!

He's the best a pony collector could wish for!   You may have seen that among the ponystuff at Primark was also a really cool denim jacket. When I saw it I immediately went hunting for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Neither here, nor in a city nearby. So what did my husband do? He went all across the country to search for it for me! He went to our own Primark, to Eindhoven, and even all the way to The Hague and Amsterdam! We live in Limburg, in the south-east of The Netherlands, so you can imagine what a trip that was. The Hague had them, but only small sizes. But he eventually found one in a good size in Amsterdam! When I told him how amazing it is that he went to such great lengths just to get me a pony jacket, he said that I just had to have this, because I am a pony priestess! How super sweet is that, I completely melted! On the picture on the website there were also clouds on the jacket, they appear to be missing on the real thing. But that's okay, I decided to sew some clouds on it myself! Sorry for the lousy pictures, I was too hyped to wait until the morning to take some. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hi! I have a question regarding my e-mail address. I still have an old e-mail address in my Arena account. That's not a problem per se, but when I tried to get into that e-mail account, it appeared to be deleted, probably because I haven't used it for years. The thing is, if I change it to my current address (in my forum account), will I have to verify anything on the old account (which I obviously can't do anymore), or can I just change it without consequences? Because I'm afraid to lose my Arena account this way, if I can't verify the change per e-mail. Thanks!

Hi! I was wondering if somebody could tell me what these two are worth? Peachy has two stamps, Snuzzledrop four. Both are in fantastic condition. Snuzzledrop's hair is still very pink. They do have some minor scuffs (and some hair sticking out, but I believe most Italian ponies have that?), but they display perfectly.

It's that time of year again!   After last year's disaster (there were next to no sellers because of the bad weather, it was the first time there were no ponies at all), I got a worthy haul again! 17 G1 ponies, a puzzle, some accessories, a stable, a carrying case and 3 Fairy Tails. There are also two puffy stickers in the heart shaped box! Literally all the ponies are doubles, but some are upgrades, so I'm still super happy with them! Highlights: Cherry Treats, all of the babies plus Highflyer, Taffeta Tails and Flutter Tails (I didn't have those yet), the Moondancer stamp, the box with barrettes and the puffy stickers. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Look! Primark's Instagram (There's more than one image in this upload, if you put your cursor on the image you see an arrow appear) I got these two! The second picture looks like a mugshot, but what the hey. Also, the one in the second picture is actually part of a pajama set, but it works just as well as a T-shirt! The pants that are supposed to go with it were also super cute, but I couldn't get my hands on it as they only had two in XS left.  They have super nice G1 socks too by the way! I got those too a while back, but I don't have a picture at the moment. If anyone wants to see them I can always take a picture anyway of course! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

OMG, I've got my decorative ladder!   I'd been eyeballing this ladder for two years, and when I finally decided to buy it, it was no longer available. I accepted it, but not without a tiny bit of pain in my heart. But now they have it again! We bought it yesterday, and now it has a beautiful place in our bedroom. I don't know what it is, it just makes me happy everytime I look at it. It just breathes peace and happiness. What particular piece in your home makes you happy?  visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I was just browsing Google for pony pictures when this turned up. I remember this leaflet very clearly from when I was a child, but I never noticed before... Did they swap the heads of Mummy and Daddy Meadowsweet?  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI really hope you see it too... And if they actually are swapped, WHY?
