Yes, the gameworld will be changed. Yes, we'll be able to level further.

But I want a new login screen.

I liked the WotLK login screen at first, how cool to have a dragon flying around on it, but when you're trying to log in and don't realize your volume is up that danged roar is LOUD and you never know if you're going hear it on login or not. That's especially annoying when you're spouse is annoyed with how much you've been playing recently and you really are just popping on to check your auctions.

I know about the warcraftrealms.com/census however, I am more interested in a site that will give me a report on the population and activity of realms in a list or a report; unlike the census where you have to look at the realms one by one.

Any help out there?

I spent two hours at the rescue yesterday. It was a mad house! We had quite a few adoptions. There were 9 new kittens that I needed to get photos of. Three got adopted as I walked in the door, but what's amazing is the siamese boy was still there! Haha, the lady that took two said that she already had a siamese, so she wanted something different! ;D

The other kitten from that litter that got adopted went with one of our senior kitties! :D Mackenzie found a home! She hates other cats...but she tolerates them well enough (similar to my roommate's cat, Jenny), and the family has another young cat for the kitten to be a companion to. They also got the enormous cat tree that went with one of our featured cats this month! This month we're featuring our seniors, and now Boogaloo (12 years old) is the only one left. Someone needs to give the old man a few good years in a nice warm home!

I recall yesterday mentioning that all the cats I write about are mixed breeds, but I have to admit every now and then we do get purebreds! One of our volunteers drove down to Denver the other day to pick up two 1.5 year old Scottish Folds! I have my fingers crossed that she'll bring them into the shelter so I can get pics before they're snatched up! One is calico and one is grey tabby. :) I'll include a couple photos their foster mom took of them (despite the flash being on and them having glowing eyes! lol) at the bottom of my post.

For now, pictures!

These two have only been together for just a little over two weeks and this is how cozy they are with each other already.


( One more... )

This is an old one. Mom forgot the fridge door slightly open and look, who's going for the sausages...... fatty.



Anyways, hello everyone. I'm new to this community, I have two cats; Ville 5 years (in the picture) and his mother Viivi, soon to be 8 years. Both B&W, I'll post some better pics later. :p

i think i've posted before about smells :P so forgive my random trips to the disney world in my brain :)

i was just admiring my yankee candle company catalogue for the holidays. they have this new scent called red apple wreath. it smells EXACTLY like the pastry tray smell from philharmagic!

ok that's all, just had to share.

there goes more money i don't have to the yankee candle company :P

This is my beloved 4 year old iBook. That is what its screen looks like (although, since I've taken the picture, the bleeding has gotten worse). I kind of want to know how much it will cost me to get this thing fixed as my mother claimed she found someone on Ebay who will fix it for 200 dollars and I want to see what else I can find.


Help is much appreciated. Please and thank you.

Does anyone have experience with picking movers off craigslist? (Boston's Bay State Movers specifically--but general feedback welcomed)

We are on a budget--so Gentle Giant--while highly recommended is simply out of our price range right now (quoted $1550 - $1700).

I am reluctant to go with a non-professional company---but the prices are tempting and I was curious if anyone has gone the craigslist route.

Thanks

Well it's been a busy year filling up the Topatoco store with some lovely gubbins, but now we're circling the Christmas shutdown already they've posted up their final delivery dates. if you want something and you're outside the US, make sure you order before november 22nd (for cheapest delivery), if you're in the US its december 15th. you can leave it a little later if you wanna pay for priority delivery, all the details hhhherreee

and here's a reason why you might wanna bag something soon! The first TEN people who order the Looshkin 'fwap' tshirt, will not only receive their fwappy fwappity tshirt...



but as a chrimby present i'll also send you the EXCLUUUSIVE bohda te Skull Rock Death Army gold badge


(seriously this badge is the tits, and i'm running out for good now. they're about 3.5 cm wide and satisfyingly heavy)

Also i'll throw in a signed copy of Ubu Bubu issue 2 (arguably the best one :p), and if i can find anything else to chuck in i will. not sure if i got anything though, i'll look.

If you wanna win these things, email me (sixtyfootmonkey@yahoo.com) your order confirmation email which proves you've ordered a Looshkin Fwap tshirt. Soon as I get ten confirmed, i'll post up here that the competition has ended. If you've already ordered the tshirt, email me your order confirmation email and you'll be one of the ten winners. i'll try and send all the prizes out before xmas, but don't blame me if post is y'know, all bananas and ting.



blam! BLAMMO! That aside, there is some awesome stuff piling up in the Topatoco store, we gots Bear toys, books, a whole range of tshirts, and the massive 1,242 panda print poster! Come have a look in the store, and if you wanna get anything for christmas make sure you order soon! Yay! Fuck yay!

hello friends

i dropped my macbook, and continued using it for about 3 months even though it looked like this (actually even worse towards the end because a lot of the little plastic pieces fell off)


well one of the wires finally broke, and i was wondering what the price range to get it fixed would be.

thanks :)

After my account was hacked in April, I took a long break from WoW. But I'm back, and on a new realm in a guild that I love, starting fresh! Currently my main is a lvl 52 pally.

But I have that lonely lvl 80 lock on my old realm. Its a brand new 80- After I hit level cap, I focused more on the other faction because my friend was leveling a toon there.

So I want to transfer my 80 to my new realm, but it is so undergeared- I'm kind of embarrassed! Also the majority of my gold is gone (hacked). I do, however, have 450 mining (from the hacker, actually). Also talioring but its only something like 350-375ish.

So any tips to improve my 80 lock soloing? Or should I just transfer it over anyway and see how my guild can help me out as far as running things?

New loot information from Patch 3.3 is available on MMO Champ and World of Raids. The Quel'Dalar questchain rewards are HAWT (the only exception I've seen so far is that the 2h DPS Strength version has Haste on it for some idiotic reason, where as the AGI version has a ton of sexxxy Armor Pen), as are some of the Emblem of Frost items. So far, I'm not impressed with Icecrown Raid gear though.

Assuming the information is correct, the Heroic versions of the three new 5-mans will be dropping ilvl 232 gear. The normal versions will be dropping ilvl 219 gear. o_0

The SN reports that:


www.thesomervillenews.com/main.asp

This is really confusing, since the original report seemed to indicate that DELAYING that project was the problem, not the  project itself. Does anyone have more information on this?

Edit: Looks like they had left out "A delay of". They fixed it now.

Power's Garden by Dianne Ebertt Beeaff


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Written with such gorgeous language, this novel set in the drought stricken Gila Valley in Arizona is a sweeping, emotional epic. The Mormon Beechams and Texan rancher Brennicks are two very different families, coming together and clashing, struggling with the effects of war, weather, love, and religion. I really enjoyed this novel; the landscape is described so beautifully and I didn't want to put it down. I didn't know anything about this part of the country, especially during the WWI era. Fascinating book that I'd recommend to everybody!
