A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin. Its the fifth book in his Song of Ice and Fire series  :)

Hubby just finished that one, he really seemed to like it.

I'm on the... 3rd (I think) book of the Wheel of Time series. It's good :)

In the middle of A Dance with Dragons.

Wheel of Time is one of my all time favorites. There's a few books that can drag in the middle of the series. They pick up again later. Can't wait for the final book, #14. I think Brandon Sanderson has done a great job.

BTW, great topic! Thanks for starting.

I'm reading "The Silmarillion", which is practically Tolkien's bible to the Lord of the Rings universe :') I've read it once before, but there's just so much information at once that it probably can't be understood on any level from just one read through. But what I did get from just reading it once has done so much to enrich his other writings on Middle Earth! It's incredible, what this guy had in his mind.

Edit(s): I hate typos.

I have had such a difficult time with The Silmarillion. Did you read it straight through or stop and start?

I just got an iPhone 4s for Christmas. I don't find the battery life any different than an iPhone 4 or an iPod Touch 4th Gen. Basically, I watch movies or play games a long time with the volume turned down and the screen brightness set to auto-detect or low-brightness setting so I don't drain the batteries down. Doesn't matter which of the above devices I use. I have varying degrees of battery life with an average of a few days to one day. All depends on how much I use it. I always forget to charge it. I keep a charger in the car for this reason.

Popular games in our house Minecraft, Angry Birds, Bejeweled, Smurfs, Plants vs Zombies.

I must admit that this board is made up of a great group of people! Ponies may have brought everyone together but there are so many other common interests: LPS, Minecraft, and now Skylanders.

Here is a good list of various Skylanders' availability:

Crafty stores, especially scrapbooking have gum erasers that remove glue residue.

Here's one:

Pony Corral / Re: CMC set- where did you find yours?

<snip>  Also, the only Fashion Style pony I can find around here is Twlight Sparkle and I just do not want her and apparently no one else around here does either lol.

When oh when will stores actually order what customers want! Too many of some, not enough of others....Certain ponies disappear for a reason!

I've been worried about the same thing! Supposedly there's no exclusive sticker on the packages, but it seems strange that only Target has them. Can you update this thread when you hear back from Hasbro?

Also, has anyone spotted FS Rainbow Dash yet?

Bumping.

In Northern California, I found the CMC School Pals set at 2 different Targets. (They had a bunch of FS Twilight Sparkles and a couple of Pinkie Pie Train sets too)

The Pony section was pretty thin at the TRU. Just a couple of random sets and no FS or Playful Ponies.

Found FS Rainbow Dash on Amazon.com (she's on sale right now for $13.99)

Okay, I'm glad to know it wasn't just me who thought something was off.

The snowflake website is great; so thorough.

Welcome, teresat :wave:

Now that you have posted an introduction you will be able to see the rest of the board.  We like our members to make their first stop here so that we can get to know them a little better.  So, you grew up with ponies?  Can you remember some of the ones you had? 

Unfortunately I can't remember them. They were on my nightstand for the longest time into the 90's and then I moved out for college and never moved back. We've found my old Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears, Barbies, and Strawberry Shortcake dolls. I'm hoping they didn't get mixed in with the Goodwill boxes and bags. But then again, if they did, I'm hoping they found a new good home back in IL. :)

Yep, no problem. I clicked on something wrong and confused myself. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Hi,


I'm Teresa from California and I'm a G4 Pony addict. I'm also a returning pony fan as I collected them in the 80s. Now only if I can find those vintage ponies....


Side note: once I log into the forum I can only see the introductions and none of the other forums. Help, please?


Thanks,
Teresa
