Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I have learnt many of the tutorials of designing because I loved designing very much and want to making my career in this field. Ya and also learnt recipe of making coco which I shall eat with ice cream.

If someone is trying to make you feel less than you really are, they aren't worth the time.

That my teachers are seriously messed up......saying i take part french and drama...yeah right

Well, technically I learned it yesterday, but the phrase is "to be hoist by one's own petard" (which is a small bomb, which I thought everyone knew, but apparently most people think it's a body part), and thus in the past tense, it's "was hoist by one's own petard," or if you're going for a fragment, as in a newspaper headline, it should be "hoist by his/her own petard" -- never "hoisted by."

Sort of similar to when I learned a few months ago that "just deserts" is the proper spelling of that phrase.

Keeping a clean home not only makes company feel better, but feel better about yourself in general.

I learned that the hippocampus, in addition to being a part of the brain, is a medieval creature with the body of a horse and the tail of a fish. You learn something new every day!

That people call Aishas alien cats.
That you can still reach Sarah the Zafara here.
That you can get 300 free NC with Style Showdown and Petpet Park.
That potpourri is very cheap for your Neohome.
That some things on eBay are very cheap.

That making a board game is harder than you think. My brother and I used WeeWaffle pieces for the board, and we are making tokens and property cards. Named Neopets WeeWaffle Adventure, it contains the elements of Monopoly, Neopets, WeeWaffle, and Millionaire Tycoon (for the iPod/Phone/Pad).

That "pinkie" is the dictionary-preferred spelling, though "pinky" is more commonly used now (at least according to Google statistics, either alone or as part of pinky finger). Firefox says "pinky" is misspelled, but Google doesn't suggest an alternative for either spelling. (Pinkie comes from the Dutch "pinkje," which explains the unusual preferred spelling.)

Then I got curious and decided to look at the Google hits for that abomination of internet misspelling, "definately." The results made me want to cry -- 14.9M hits (vs. 136M for the correct spelling), though Google did offer the correct spelling as an alternative search. I really don't understand how this misspelling has gone so far! It's pronounced with a short-i, not any kind of a sound nor even a schwa. Spelling it "defin_ate_ly" is like defe_cat_ing on English phonetics. And yet if it's got more than 10% of the Google hits of the correct spelling, how long before it becomes "acceptable"?

Some dictionaries even have "dependant" listed as a correct spelling now; a girl I used to work with used that in her defense when I proofread a document for her and pointed out her error (and yes, Word had underlined the word in red). I told her, "It might be in one or two dictionaries, but most educated people will still look at that and consider it incorrect. On the other hand, only ignorant people would think 'dependent' is wrong."

Today I learned that my beloved zero_is_mah_hero Neopets account, the one I used during many of my cherished nostalgic days here, has been frozen (I have no idea why I haven't been on in months).
MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

Anyone know who I can e-mail about this? I've uhh, kind of lost touch with Neopets obviously...

Send in a bug report. Don't forget, there was a recent account purge, if you weren't on recently. More info here. Scroll to the bottom, then go two posts up. Hopefully, it hasn't been longer than two years.

I've also learned that I started outfits for my pets for Halloween without realizing it.

Yeah, I figured out the tickety system... Hopefully they're a little better than Nexon/Maplestory and won't take 2 months to answer
I know it hasn't been two years, so unless they started doing their purges sooner than that, I should be good. That and my pets still exist; they just belong to a frozen account.

So far, I've sent in three bug reports. They seem to reply in less than a week, and it's really TNT, not some automated message.

Today, I learned that I started to listen to music. Before, I never listen to it, only played it. Listing to now: The Pink Poogle Toys — Frozed - one of my favorite songs, and one of three songs that have words. So far, I only have PPT music , neo game music, and some miscellaneous music.

I learned that Tear for Fears sung Everyone Want To Rule The World.

I used to hear this song a lot but had no idea who sung the song.

I received a response from The Neopets Team about my frozen zero_is_mah_hero account (that username alone completely describes me when I was 11...). Apparently it was frozen from inactivity, and because of this, they cannot retrieve it.

...

I think I'm going to be like that guy back in 2003 who went on a cross-country journey to get his Neopets account unfrozen. Instead of ending in personal discovery, though, my journey will end in MASS MURDER.

I suppose that's something to learn alright. Hopefully you're letting the stress of knowing this not get to you too much.

And what I learned...it's better to relax and focus on what's right in front of you than fluster over what is not.
