    I'm 99.99% sure I have, however I never take screenshots of my requests so I can't prove it. :)
    Happy to help! I spent a lot of time editing anonymously this summer, so at least 1/4 of the info was added or improved by me.:)

    Multiquote button was acting wierd, so @meplie I wanted to thank you for the starter, and @MartiNZ I forgot you lived in Australia. What's it like having Christmas in the summer (or do you celebrate it there? Sorry, I know next to nothing about other countries; I've never been out of the USA.:))?

    Less than 20 Snowfrogs left to breed. :D

    Had to reply to this before you had a chance to edit:) yes we celebrate Christmas, yes it's Summer, yes it's hot. Will have to come to the US one year to see what a white Christmas is like.

    Firstly, Marti is in New Zealand ;)
    Having never known anything different Christmas in summer is perfectly normal :) we tend to have BBQs a lot, swim a lot, go to the beach or wallow in the air conditioning.

    Personally we don't do a whole roast turkey, we just do a rolled one, and I pre cook everything on Christmas Eve so we don't have too much work to do on the day. So its cold meats and salad in my family.

    We only do a pudding every two or three years, leftovers get frozen for next year, we usually have pavlova, ice cream and fruit salad for sweets.

    Would love to have a white Christmas one day, don't know if it will ever happen tho :D

    Our Aus froggers (no, not forgers, thanks aurtocorrect) have pretty much covered it :D. Def looking forward to the swimming, annoying humidity right now, and here's hoping for proper dry & warm around Xmas, rather than the recent trend of summer really starting around feb!

    But in NZ we don't get above 30 degrees c very much, so the Aussies tend to have it even better ... if that really is better lol. And yeah, don't really know different so Xmas in Summer is just how it is! Had one in Germany in '88 but got gypped on snow even then! I've never been in enough snow to make a snowman or anything. Last year we like to think we had 30 sec of "snow" in Auckland, but it got written off as "graupel". And that was the first time since the 30s apparently!

    Anyway, in frogville, I just finished dexing butterflies. Could someone hand me a Frondis? They're my next project :).

    I'd like a white Christmas too but we dont get them here in Texas. The last time we had one a few years ago I was out of town.:(
    Lol, those are the kind of mistakes I make while I'm running-down-the-hall-after-school-balancing-bags-in-one-hand-and-iPhone-in-the-other. :D

    Like I said before, white Christmases almost never happen in North Texas, and it's been unusually warm this winter. A shame; I love snow and it's even better at Christmas. This year, though, I'll be at the beach for Christmas, so I probably won't see snow until next year.

    The good thing, though, is that my birthday is in February, so sometimes I get a snowy birthday. :) one year, school was snowed out on my birthday, so I got a lazy day off!:D

    How lazy am I? 2 people sent me Snow starters (thanks Dom and Maupie) so I didn't even have to do any breeding :D I guess I could bring myself to tame them if anyone wants a starter...

    Mine's Feb 26 so it's usually pretty hot :D. It's also usually either the first day or very near to it of the first university semester ... for back when that mattered lol.

    Lisi Consults a PF Shrink

    PF Shrink: So, you’re disappointed in PF & thinking of deleting it from you iPhone, right?

    Lisi: Yeah. Anyway, haven’t we discussed this many times before in exquisitely painful detail?

    PF Shrink (nodding patiently): Of course, Lisi, but, well, let’s take the issues one by one & see if you can come to a satisfactory, well-reasoned resolution.

    Lisi: OK, one big buzz-kill for me are the constant pop ups for “Potions to Tame Frogs” in the pond. They destroyed the calming flow of the game while taming in the pond.

    PF Shrink: What if I told you that an update had been released which shrunk the area which would trigger those seemingly ubiquitous, annoying pop-ups?

    Lisi (visibly surprised): They did?! That would help a lot. But, you know, I still picture the devs reaching into players’ wallets for any coins they can find -- it’s disconcerting & has tarnished the image I had of them as people who would create a game THEY, themselves, would want to play. My disappointment in the direction of this game is palpable.

    PF Shrink (resolutely): Focus, Lisi, focus! We’re talking about the game & they addressed one of *your* issues. You can be disappointed in the devs & still like the game. After all, you were livid when Zynga plagiarized one of NB’s games but continued to play WWF, right?

    Lisi (nodding assent): OK. Point taken. One issue resolved. But they’re others as well.

    PF Shrink (supremely professional): Go on...

    Lisi (visibly agitated): There are too many frogs all at once!! NB has written that it can’t add new habs without causing data problems for many players. But *did* they logically increase the size of the catalog or the MB? NO & NO. Why oh why didn’t NB do a PF update similar to the recent Tiny Tower update, a reasonable number of new floors & a delightful touch of holiday whimsy? Where's the whimsy in PF?

    PF Shrink (with an almost imperceptible tinge of impatience): Such rhetorical or hypothetical questions are not helpful. Again, you need to focus on THIS game! Forget what the devs left out, though they represent shocking omissions given the inexplicably huge number of new frogs, I admit. My suggestion: breed more high value frogs so you can BUY needed frogs for sets frogs from the froggydex, if necessary. Or, simply ASK for a frog you need.

    Lisi (incredulous): Huh? ASK?! C’mon, you know how queasy I feel when I do that. Your other point about breeding *does* make sense, however. But the high value frogs take soooo long to tame, kind of like a chore.

    PF Shrink (in a firm, commanding, but calming voice): Then put the game down the moment it seems like a chore! You did this successfully over Thanksgiving, right?

    Lisi (pensively): Yeah but then I didn’t need my mini-memo book for I wasn’t reciprocating and…

    PF Shrink: Proceed…

    Lisi (with a soupçon of a smile): …and, I did get free space in my MB for keeping found frogs in pond & that was fun. It solved the MB clog effect.

    PF Shrink: Then shelve the memo book & DON’T reciprocate. Change the way you play which is clearly too restrictive for the non-gamer in you. Don’t be a reactive gifter, just gift when you want, to whomever you want. You like gifting. You like sending Sets. Keep it up! Voilà, a too full MB problem solved as well since I know you don’t expect reciprocity! Bonus: you can continue to participate in the forum …if you want.

    Lisi (looking dubious): Dunno. Well…OK…I guess…I’ll try…

    PF Shrink (looking at watch): Looks like our time is up, Lisi. For this Weekly Advice Set that’ll be 25 stamps & 25 potions.

    100% Glacio! Yay! Huge thanks to anyone who helped me in the process. That's three breeds down, 97 to go. Yikes!:eek::)

    My brirthday's Feb 6 for anyone interested.:)

    I'm glad you've decided to stick around, Lisi. I agree this game can be trying at times, but I try to look on the bright side. We're being supported, aren't we? Unlike Scoops and Dizzypad which haven't been updated since 2010 or so.

    My antipodean compatriots have summed up our southern-hemisphere Xmas pretty well. The pundits are saying it will be a long hot summer this year, I hope they are right for a change! I was out for dinner last night, and had my first taste of pavlova for the silly season... Yum!

    Martin, I have a Frondis Cyg sent me, it's coming your way. :)
