Hi everyone, how are you today?
4 Patsie said,
August 5, 2013 @ 2:25 pm
It sounds like you got some good deals Krafty. Do you make your kids pay for their webkinz?

Since my kids are kids… the nature of being kids means they don’t generally have money for webkinz… etc…
6 Patsie said,
August 5, 2013 @ 2:44 pm
Krafty, do they not get a allowance? How often do you allow them to get new webkinz? I have had to buy a fair number of mine.

Not in cash, at this time. Need more coming in to be able to do allowance. When I have the money, I have no problem buying them webbies… during the school year they don’t have much online play time and have other interests so I am the biggest webkinz fan right now.
8 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
August 5, 2013 @ 3:47 pm
we don’t do allowance – i tried that, but they have responsibilities at home that are not “paid” – they are just a part of being a member of the family, and i pay for their stuff, so the allowance just didn’t make sense for us …
9 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
August 5, 2013 @ 3:49 pm
well, it’s official with all of the justice stores here now … no webkinz

12 dee said,
August 5, 2013 @ 4:44 pm

I KNOW ABOUT THE ERROR ON THE BLOG, AND I AM SO SORRY FOR OUR DIFFICULTIES! I AM ALSO HAVING THE SAME ERROR AS ARE ALL WHO COMMENT – ADMINS, TOO. 🙁 I HAVE SEARCHED THE BLOG SETTINGS AND CANNOT FIND A ‘CAUSE’ AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF SEARCHING, SO I BELIEVE THE ERROR IS WITHIN WORDPRESS. THAT MEANS THAT THERE ISN’T ANYTHING I CAN DO AT THIS TIME ABOUT IT, SO WE ALL JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT.
Patience isn’t one of my strong skills, so I wish I had better news!!!
Thanks for understanding!

i’m way behind on the news re error-what error are you guys referring to?
52 Patsie said,

my old car is being dumb again and it stopped working and my dad said its not worth fixing so my brother was able to find me a ford explorer for a decent price so now im stuck with the darn thing and it is way too big for my liking
i feel like an ungrateful brat complaining about cars when ive only had my license for a year and i currently own 2 cars but i just really do not like driving big cars
66 Patsie said,
August 5, 2013 @ 9:50 pm

What up?????
Well it is official. Each time I sit down to play webkinz I don’t know what I am doing….I put a helmet on my pet…nothing. I purchased the scooter, rode around my room…nothing. Gotta love the few moments I have to play…
95 rollingfur said,
August 6, 2013 @ 1:13 pm
Oh and I went to webkinz news to get the cool flowers that are floating. Saw one right away and then it said campaign expired. I forgot how frustrating this all was…
96 zingyginger said,
August 6, 2013 @ 1:34 pm
hi rf
sorry you’re having trouble with a challenge. have you tried other helmets? or even get one from wshop? it’s been so long that i can’t remember how the scooter thing worked but why don’t you have the pet get on and off to see if that works.
for floaties, don’t open more than one tab at a time, just refresh the same page. coz if you find a floaty on more than one page at a time, they’ll all be expired.
hope everything else is going well.

Afternoon, Moms, Patsie, Gramma and Zingy.
Thank you zingy for the help. I got the scooter to work. I had to get off of it….as for the helmet I am using the one that was in my dock from who knows where. I looked in the wshop and don’t see a helmet, nor at the outlet…off to look for helmets…
108 Patsie said,

What were you doing?
109 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:13 pm
patsie – are you spending too much time on webkinz? are you overreacting about it or anything? are you whining about it or complaining or something?
110 rollingfur said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:14 pm
Trying to finished the quest. I have switched pets and drove all over my town on a scooter with different helmets and hats and webkinz will not let me pass. Oh Patsie, this is so aggravating…
111 zingyginger said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:14 pm
did you try putting on the unicycle helmet that you got from part two of this challenge, rf? i would try putting it on then taking it off if just putting it on doesn’t work.
sorry to hear you might be blocked from ww, patsie. you’ll still be welcome on gymbo’s regardless.
112 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:15 pm
rf – i used the helmet it gave me in the previous step of the challenge
put the helmet on your pet, then close the “dress” window
have your pet walk in the room if that doesn’t do it
113 Patsie said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:17 pm
They say I should be:
cleaning my desk, I need my mom or dad to help me with that because there is clothes in it and my things on top
working on a resume and references to get a job
and a couple other things I don’t remember.
I will still be here even if I do get blocked from Webkinz.
114 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:19 pm
patsie – why aren’t you doing what you should be doing? i’m sorry, but blog & stuff should be last on the list … you need to prioritize, then maybe you can spend a little free time on here and webkinz
115 rollingfur said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:21 pm
I just googled it and it says that you use the helmet that you won in step two. I have not played in so long I don’t know what I did with the helmet. Lord only knows what room in my town it is in. Really ganz you stink sometimes. Guess I should not clean out my dock like they want me to…
Bottom line: Do I pay the 2000 to move on? Oh the decisions….
116 rollingfur said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:22 pm
On a happy note I got the floating thing to work! 🙂
117 rollingfur said,

You guys are so cool. I am actually on another account doing the challenge to mail myself the helmet. Thank you zingy, I will mail it back after I use it. I love webkinz friends.

Yes, that’s my account, rf. I have plenty of helmets (it was also from the Lorax AP quest from years ago) so you can keep it. Happy to pass it on so you’ll be ready on that account if there’s another challenge that calls for a helmet.
Sorry ’bout the headache, hope you have something you can take for it so that it’ll go away soon.
My birthday is Feb 4.
128 rollingfur said,
August 6, 2013 @ 3:44 pm

Proof of how old the CD is: This programs requires Windows 1995 to run.
The CD said that or something similar on the other computer in where I am.

Moms, they aren’t my CD’s, they are the families.
It proves how old I am though.
Thank you.
We have some CD’s that I am willing to guess are even older.
Have you heard of Word Perfect?
My dad still has a computer with an older version of Windows (not from the 2000’s) and is needing it to get information for something he is writing.

I had a few problems with that level of the challenge, had to use the prize helmet… and then ride around and then get off… when that didn’t work.. I went out of the room and back in and did it again, then it worked… I drove around and around and nadda… duh me, get OFF the vehicle, lol

My grandparents have a type writer I think.
My mom, dad, and I had a technology talk the other night at dinner about the “olden” days of technology.
Do you remember when internet was first developed moms?

Wordperfect… lol boy is that an oldie now
There was another one out at that time… can’t recall the name but I preferred that one, though I got word perfect and used it…
I remember buying by first electric typewritter.. LCD screen and all.. then finally getting a mediocre one and then… a good electric… still have it somewhere, I think…

I was given my very own portable typewriter the summer before starting high school. It was manual. 😐 The high school had two rooms with typewriters; only one classroom had the Selectrics(electric typewriters). These classrooms were for ‘teaching’ the proper way to type. Pet peeve of mine these days is…with everyone on computers, why aren’t kids taught to type???? not only with all ten fingers, but without having to look at the keys.
144 Patsie said,
August 6, 2013 @ 4:45 pm
I don’t remember the other program names we were talking about right now.
I think Word Star was one.
145 Patsie said,
August 6, 2013 @ 4:47 pm
Gramma, my school has a keyboarding class that is optional.
I am typing this without looking.
I am trying to practice touch typing more.
I can’t find any good typing tests.
146 gramma said,
August 6, 2013 @ 4:50 pm
weren’t the first electric typewriters for home use called word processors? or something similar. I remember we got one for dd1; it was lavender, purple being her favorite color.
147 gramma said,
August 6, 2013 @ 4:52 pm
Patsie, lol I about go bonkers watching someone poking around with only a couple fingers and having to look. I believe it’s called ‘hunt and peck’? 🙄

I used a Burroughs word processor way back when
thing was huge….took up a whole corner of the office….one person was in charge of keeping all the font wheels safe…….only certain folks were even allowed to use the thing…….
first computer I used was in 1984…….basically just searching thru a giant database
152 Patsie said,
August 6, 2013 @ 5:10 pm
Gramma, it is called Hunt and Peck.
Dee, how did you type your name wrong? Does your computer not remember your name?
153 Patsie said,

I think my dad has been using Word Star the last couple of days.
154 gramma said,

Patsie, that isn’t the same model. If you go into ‘the typewriter: an informal history’, scroll down to the IBM Selectric Typewriter Revolution. It says the model was introduced in 1961. I wasn’t in high school til late 60’s, but those were the ones we had in class. OOOOH! it was also mandatory, at that time, that you had classes on both the electric AND the manual typewriters. lol
155 Patsie said,
August 6, 2013 @ 5:13 pm
I think my dad at least had classes on type writers.
156 Patsie said,

FFQ had typing lessons at school and PB78 did as well, just not as much as FFQ, not sure why though. It wasn’t as intense as the typing classes my sisters took in high school though. When I was in high school, typing was an elective and with my college prep, accel class load there wasn’t time to take it.

Hi everyone, I am back for now.
I wonder what is happening with wallpaper and flooring. Is it we can remove them?
Does anyone else ever wish they could move where a room is, resize it, or delete it all together?

That would be SO great if we could move wallpaper and floors because I have a few rooms that I would like to move – could switch them around ….

G’morning! agree moms. I would like to switch some rooms, but they have special walls and floors (endangered species; discontinued Christmas…), so I leave ’em alone. Wonder if we’ll be able to move estore paper/floors too? *pondering*
