Oh thank you so much! Ergo, you are such a sweetheart! I am so glad you like the new garden. Ganpati worked so hard on it!

Thank you. I rarely stick to one theme (except for pirate, of course...) and really enjoy bringing together elements from different themes to make something new.

It's a lot of fun.

I am so glad that you enjoyed my house! There are a lot of pirate fans, aren't there? It must be because we get to wear such cool clothes and find buried treasure...

By the way, everyone, I don't know if you've seen, but I *finally* got around to introducing myself to WI in the "Hi, my name is Joe" forum. You can find a link in my signature if you're curious about it.

Hmm

OMG 300! Wow, thats a lot! I don't have that much thank goodness, I probably would if I stopped selling all the food for a few months, lol.

I'll look at your contest, and see if I can enter. Good luck on becoming a trainee. If you follow the link in my signature, you can see my rather belated introduction to WI. Among my serious posts listed in my introduction is my post, "Memoirs of a Tiny Trader on the GE." It talks about what the GE was like for me as a small trader, and what I have gotten out of it.

It's a great resource, and once you become gifted, you can offer contests with bigger prizes... Heck, you could even become like Wink and do one every two weeks if you so desired. Though how Wink manages that, I will never know. She must be a super woman!



Hmm

Thanks, I want to SOOOO bad. Ok, I will. It'll be nice to get to know you a little better!

lol, I know. Her contests are soooo awesome! Same here, you never know, she could be super woman.

You pictures are wonderful. The imagintion and creativity you have is outstanding. I enjoy the story a much as the photos. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to comeback and see what the crew has been up to.

i totally love how you set up the whole garden. it is a pleasure to view,

Thanks so much JMS and Miss Spots.

I am so glad that everyone liked the garden. Ganpati loved making it for her, and Shanti really enjoyed walking through it. Red is her favorite color.

I liked the garden enough that it almost hurt to harvest those strawberries.

(Not as much as it would have hurt to have not harvested those strawberries, and come back to a DEAD garden though...)



Now a day or so later, it still looks pretty -- just not as breathtaking as when all the strawberries fruit!

Here's a link to the guide in the FAQ section: Changing thread title.

Hope that helps you both. It took me forever to get it into my head that you have to DOUBLE-click by the title. I kept doing single click, and couldn't figure out for the life of me what was wrong. Anyway, hope you all have a great night, and I can't wait to find out what happens with the kids and the Toucans.

Thanks so much for both the comments and the link. Unfortunately, that trick does not work for me. I tried switching browsers, but all I can ever do is highlight the thread title. I cannot bring up the little edit box.

FIA said that a small percentage of users cannot do this, and I appear to be one of them.

Fortunately the mods are very patient when I ask them to update my house thread title for me!

Hmm
