Challenge Accepted! -Was I the only one who thought about that...?  

Awesome! Wish I had thought of that 

My Challenge: Starting tonight, I will make myself floss at night no matter how tired I am! Anything for a pony, right? 

This is great!  I was highly motivated to make sure I got my 3 different fruits/veggies, and took my vitamin last night just like a grown up (I'm 31  ).  It's only the first day, of course, but I'm so motivated I'm looking for more veggies to try to earn some extra points after starting late!   

It's great to get online and see other people trying to do the same things.  It's so easy for all of us to push our own needs aside while being 'busy'- seeing that other people do it too helps me remember how important it is to try every day.

Good job everyone, whether you got your points today or not! 

Ok, I'm late to the party but still signing up- this seems great and a pony is good motivation!

Sign Up
Screen Name: Radha
You Goal/s: I've become vegetarian (various reasons) but while that's going well I'm still bad about taking a daily vitamin and making sure to get 3 full servings of different fruits or veggies a day; these are really important but I gloss over them! (And yeah, I know I need 5-7 servings- I'm starting smallish)
Whats Your Plan: Vitamin with iron before bed, and 3 different servings of fruits/veggies every day (every day, Radha!).
How will you get your 2 points in a day: I will get 1 point if I take my vitamin. I will get 1 point if I eat 3 servings of different fruits and veggies.

Do we need to list our prize pony/ies somewhere?

Thanks for a great idea! 

As a charity, I think they hope to get the most money possible.  I can also understand not wanting to pay the shipping, etc.  I would guess that knowing something that normally sells for a quarter might go for $3/4 dollars online makes a big difference for them.  It isn't as much fun as in person, though, and they definitely don't make any promises on condition.  Not for everyone, for sure.

Wow, I did not suppose this would be such a problem for everyone    I'm just happy with my ponies.

Wonderful! I like how your mom was keeping it 'secret', too! 

So a few weeks ago I ordered a lot of ponies off Goodwill.  They were all G1's, and while they weren't exactly rare, it was 10 ponies from the first couple of years and they looked to be in great condition.  I won the lot and stalked the tracking site on USPS....

And noticed one day that my ponies had supposedly almost been delivered, and they left a notice.  Well, no notice... I'm concerned but the next day is the 4th, so I wait...Go to the post office bright and early Friday the 5th...Oh, well, we don't know where the package is.  Concerned, I ask if someone has the notice, could they come pick up my package? Yes, says the lady! Aah   She takes my name and number and promises a supervisor will call...no call Saturday

So this morning, right at 9, I call....busy signal.  Well, that's weird, what modern business doesn't have multiple lines and a phone system.  Ok, call again at 9:10, then 10:15, then 10:30.  Always a busy signal!  Fed up I open a case via the USPS online system, telling them what happened. 

Lo and behold, at 4:00 I get a call.  They've 'found' my package!  Not sure why they couldn't find it before, they say...

Anyway...new ponies!  They are so beautiful- in just as good a shape as the pictures showed, including the whitest Gusty I've ever seen, a Posey with perfect pink hair and symbols, and a FF Bluebell and Butterscotch!  Posey and Confetti might even have original ribbons on! 

I was planning on selling them, but I'm thinking not, now.  Could I have a pc anyway, so I can congratulate myself? No cancer, no pindot, no marks beyond what I think Magic Eraser can fix, only a few minor glitter losses on symbols, no cut hair!  They may not be rare but these ponies are in such nice condition 

Also, thank goodness for tracking. I have dark suspicions of what would have happened to my package without it ;(

***Clean and shiny ponies!  Here's everyone all fixed up.  I did find a few flaws once they were clean, but still so few!  May I have a price check, please? 

Collector ponies- Butterscotch and Blue Belle are flat-footed. Great used condition-mostly because I don't think ponies can be mint after 30 years unless they are MOC/MIP.

Peachy and Lemon Drop.  Common but they are also in great used condition! Lemondrop does rattle.

Gusty and Parasol.  Gusty is super white! Glitter is great. Small ink dot on shoulder I will fade, two tiny brown stains at the tip of her leaf symbol on 1 side- hard to distinguish from glitter. Parasol is a perfect pink! Minor glitter loss, one rub to symbol on display side.

Finally- Confettie and Posey! Posey is almost perfect, honestly- I can't find a thing wrong with her except a minor blush rub.  Confetti as 1 or 2 confetti pieces that are rubbed, and a small brown spot on her hind leg (super light) that might be caner or regrind.  Otherwise perfect- her blush is super bright, no fading anywhere, still pretty white body!

Amazing! Congrats
