XoGIZMOoX:
Hey peeps Gizzie has been dealing with an army of ants today and probably the rest of the week :vanora_angry:

In my UPSTAIRS apt CARPET is an army of fire ants my carpet is swarming with the whole army of them I don't know where they came from I'M UPSTAIRS O. O there is none around my patio door or my front door nor outside the doors just in the middle of the living room and not one or two but I would say the whole colony I have welps on BOTH arms bites darn fire ants I vaccumed some and I squashed several and I really am beyond what to do :/


@ XoGIZMOoX: That sucks Gizzie. Sounds like you have a fire ant infestation. I hope the ant infestation problem either goes away by itself or is solved soon. Perhaps you need the help of a pest control exterminator.

@Tuijp: Thank you very much Tuijp. Trade sent, you accepted it, I accepted it, now it's waiting on you. I'm still getting used to trading on Voltra but it reminds me of Gaia's trade system.

@Shamrock Shamus: Unfortunately without caterpillars there would be no butterflies because caterpillars turn into butterflies.

@Tuijp: I believe I have a Bingo:



Edit: Updated my card because I forgot to mark off the 22 on my card with a green star. (But that's irrelevant because it didn't contribute to a Bingo. XD).

@sunny: Thank you Sunny. I found my free Vyctor plushie by clicking on the Vanora plushie. I have no idea the plushies stack.
Posted in Problem solved. Free Vyctor plushie found Posted 7 years ago
Hi!

I didn't receive the free Vyctor Plushie mentioned in the New Milestone News & Updates. It's not found anywhere in my inventory including in the Accessories tab:



I'd appreciate it very much if I can have the item I should have received awarded to me since it's no longer buyable in Ohm-My-Gosh Imports.

Posted in Celebrating our Birthdays, Voltra style Posted 7 years ago
@Totalanimefan: Thank you for supporting my idea.

@ mdom: I'm glad you like my idea mdom.

@ Lithinel and @Peony: Perhaps if the birthday cake item is created as a multi mode equippable item? Then it would require several birthdays for each Voltie to have the full Rainbow set and no one would mind receiving the Rainbow Birthday Cake item for several years. For example the default appearance of the item is Rainbow Birthday Cake. When equipped in the hand as an accessory, it becomes the Rainbow cake held in hand. Several other modes could be: Rainbow Party Hat if equipped on the head, Rainbow Shirt if equipped on the torso, Rainbow Pants/Skirt if equipped on the bottom, Rainbow Socks if equipped as an accessory and Rainbow Shoes if equipped as shoes, etc.
Posted in Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day 2017 Posted 7 years ago
Ahoy Mateys! September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day everyone! Let's have some rum and talk like a pirate. Yarrr!



I found a great Talk Like a Pirate Day song on youtube and would like to share it:

Talk Like a Pirate Day Song

Most days are like all of the others,
Go to work, come back home, watch TV,
But, brother, if I had me druthers,
I'd chuck it and head out to sea,

For I dream of the skull and the crossbones,
I dream of the great day to come,
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade me computer for rum! ARRR!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price ta pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho....

Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello,
Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"

Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet,
So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man!
We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet,
But a damn good retirement plan!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin'
And bein' polite is passe!
When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty
And let out a hearty YO HO!
And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you
Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho....

We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!"
Buy latte with pieces of eight
We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun
The loser, o' course, is worst mate!

When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er,
We fill 'em with loathing and fear,
We'll plunder and pillage each city and village,
Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer!

There ain't no computin' or morning commutin',
No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me,
No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin',
I'm knowin' the pull of the sea.

The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face
Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls,
I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon,
Verizon can hold all my calls!

To wear a red coat full o' buckles,
To earn a few duelling scars,
Well, at least we can get a few chuckles
By filling the office with ARRRs!

And maybe we'll never get closer,
Than watchin' 'em on the big screen,
So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow,
And every damn one in between!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
That time in September when sea dogs remember
That grown-ups still know how ta play!
When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy
And a soft-wear patch covers your eye,
Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs
And buccaneers all till we die!

So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells,
They only would get in the way,
Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party,
It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day!
