Hot Air Balloon

Besides the pet being able to ride in it, I keep them around in my outdoor yards just because they look so pretty! They are a great decoration. I just bought one on every account.

I just bought mine, and thought it worth mentioning that the it may only be 1x1, but the thing is pretty huge vertically.

I forgot to log in at 6! :::bows head in shame::: Does this mean I'll have to wait another 8 months? ::cries::.

Oh, I'm so sorry! That's awful.

You might have to wait another 8 months, or...you might get lucky and this item might become the next Aztec Fridge , which was recently offered a total of 5 times over a period of 10 days, unless I've miscounted. (And only one or two of those offerings were to Deluxe members only, so it was showing up a lot by anyone's standards.) Actually, since it was offered for the fifth time in short-term memory only yesterday, we don't yet know whether the phenomenon is over and whether we can indeed sleep safe again at night, free from the specter of of the reappearance of the Azure Aztec Fridge. (In truth, I think that it is one handsome refrigerator, and I fully intend get one or two -- but not five or ten -- once I have substantially completed my Ancient and Medieval collections.)

Anyway, here's hoping that you get lucky.

I hope that it comes back soon, Lisa! I did get one today and it is just beautiful!

I feel your pain Lisa, I couldn't because i was at work and my instructions, to my daughter were not detailed enough. Let's hope it returns soon.

I'm sorry, LisaMM and Sunnidazes that you missed it. I've been known to be at home, and completely forget to log in for a rare that I wanted.

I nearly missed it on our Euro accounts; I was thinking it was coming later, but I logged in to see, and there it was. So I got the last one with seconds to spare, I think.

I was happy to see it again, and hopefully it will be back soon.

Top ten humor suggestions?

1> Put rare reminder in phone (most have calendars)
2> Try looking up Google for programs that will automatically start browsers etc, and or a way to turn your PC on from remote and log-in yourself (depending on if you have Internet access at work). Or you could always do what my friend did, say she had to go to the bathroom at work and drove to the local WiFi place to log into Webkinz.
3> The other idea is to use a rubber stamp with the time of the rare and put it in the outside palm of your son/daughter. Hopefully that will give them help to remember.
4> You could always auto program the TV to turn the TV off/on and that is a good signal for them to go online if they are near a computer.
5> At work if you have access to Outlook, you can set a personal reminder to call them, maybe?
6> Find a new pair of boots to use at home for the love one who forgot to get it (or self), to kick with naturally. Does not help with getting the rare, but is a good reminder next time.
7> Pay your neighbor to log on, because you know the kids ain't going to remember
8> Ask to use your co-workers cell phone to make an emergency call, but actually use it to surf the internet and buy the rare yourself.
9> Work remote that day, tell your boss you have a "12 hour" not 24 hour flu and need half the day remote or off so you can quickly go home early or go in late (depending on what time you work when the rare is offered)

And number TEN :rum-Roll::

10> Trade one of those lovely Aztec fridges you bought in the last few days for the Balloon and maybe a Wacky plushy. Who knows, they may be nice enough to trade you the 600 Trophy and the balloon at the same time.

Anyway, some are meant to be seriously with a bit of humor. Hope you take this post with a iceberg of salt because I am sorry for those who did not get it.

Thanks for that list Omega!!!

I was wondering how I'd get rares if I ever re-entered the paying workforce!
