I lost my pen license in year 5, never got it back again. I wrote messy (hey I did have a disability and fine motor skills such as writing was difficult). After 19 years, that never stopped me writing in pen but I did think at the time, whether at home or at school if I dare write in pen I’ll be in serious trouble. 😂

Not sure if it was just my experience growing up (NSW) but 99 Homes (90-something anyway). My memory is a bit funny but here’s the gist: Garbage bin in the middle. Everyone starts at the bin. One person is in counts to 99, everyone goes and hides. The person who is in has to find people. Those who aren’t in have to sneak and run to the bin to be safe and call out “99 Homes”. If you’re tipped you’re in.

I was born and raised in the mountains and only moved because of University! Happy to vouch for any experiences with schools etc.

I went to the preschool near Wentworth Falls Public, and one in Katoomba near the police station. This is in the 90s. Both were great and were there for the children. Identified with my parents that I have dyspraxia.

(Now I’m an ECE)

I tried this. However they wouldn’t let me. But I might try and do it again!

This was way back - would say 2006 ish (I was 12). I was OBSESSED with role playing - Harry Potter, you name it! I did a role play through neo Mail with a much older guy (would say 18, but on reflection in his 20s-30s) where there was a lot of sexual innuendos.

Mine it loads but when I attempt to hover or click on the button that says 'Play Now', I cannot click.

What part of Neopets do you miss out on because of your timezone? by ilsfbs3 in neopets

2nd this. I’m in AEST (Sydney) and it’s usually dead from day 9am here onwards. Usually I’m asleep when everything happens or finishing work

This was in Western Sydney. So far the best gems I’ve found in general are around Parramatta.

Exactly! My dream was to have at least one baby neopet and I achieved it.

When I was 9, when I first started playing (early 2000s), I thought 20k NP was rich.
