Maybe I should be embarrased that I use Neopets but I feel like sharing this. Basically the first website that I was into as a child was Neopets. And over the years I bought and sold on the stock market and simple things like that so I got many neopoints (over one million). Sometimes when I don't check for a while and then come and check I get lucky on a stock (it changes randomly). I just checked Neopets for the first time after the mission and found that one of my stocks looks like this:
Paid: 60,000
(Current) market value: 504,000

Total (with all my stocks): Paid: 405,000
Market value: 865,000

So that was nice.

Ok...So. I am fairly embarrassed to say I also played neopets. And may have checked on it a time or two in college >.> I haven't in a while but I had a similar experience. I became an instant millionaire because of stocks that had somehow skyrocketed during the years I forgot about the game.

So congrats. :mrgreen: I'm...gonna pretend I didn't just admit all of this, too. :roll:

I consider it a good thing being able to persevere a with a game (without being addicted). Maybe that's why I'm still on Cantr after all these years. Cantr is one of three internet games that I've decided to stick with, though now the other two are of little importance and I don't plan on spending much time there anyone.
1. Cantr II
2. Runescape
3. Neopets (I have a fond childhood attachment to it)

Well, if you put it like that, I agree completely. Out of all the games I've played over the years, I've returned to very few. We must have had very similar childhoods, then. I played Cantr waaay back when, but fell out of it a couple times. Same with Runescape. Only other game I would add to the list is hockey arena.

I'm glad I can be open about the small place neopets reserved in my heart. Occasionally during December I check back for the advent calendar. :roll: And to check my stocks, of course.

Yeah I do advent calendar too. And a lot of times when I checked Neopets I would put more codestones in the mystery island training center as well to train my pet.
Favorite Neopets game: Castle Escape I used to get on the high scores on that one.

I also played Faerytale Online for a few years with one character. That one I only stopped playing due to the mission.

Unsubbing because you forgot your meds this morning is a bad idea, right? :oops:

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans and a good day to everyone else. I am very thankful this year for the wonderful people I've met and played with through here. Cheers! :mrgreen:

One glass of red wine is fine for me as long as I don't eat anything ridiculously sweet beforehand.
No drunkenness means no drunk Cantriing.
(No Cantriing means no drink Cantriing too :()
Food and company were good.
I wish I could've seen my boyfriend, but he's 2 hours away and had enough Thanksgivings to go to anyway before he had to go to work at 7:30.

Is anybody besides me not going Black Friday shopping today?
