Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals

Each week new things change in virtual Wiggins. This week we

  • opened Sanders Beauty Salon so members can have new hairstyles
  • added new breeches and English riding boots for avatars
  • added a blue t shirt for avatars
  • improved the quest delete button so it works better, so it is easier to stop quest or a scavenger hunt. To quit a quest, click on the saddlebag/ inventory to open it, find the quest or scavenger hunt picture and click on it.  Then a pop up box opens. "What would you like to do with your quest (or scavenger hunt)?"  The choices are "show" and "quit"
  • for the Holidays, we made it possible to give your pals tack items as gifts, including our new Holiday saddle pad & halter, Western and English saddles and bridles

Please take a moment to send a Holiday card to one of our new members. You can help out by visiting our "Pals, Please Page." Everyone here loves ponies, and our site has some great ways to meet other pals. Click here to learn more. Please send a card to someone who is new!

Voting is now open for our November Story and Poem Contest and for Coloring Contest #7. Make sure and vote for your favorites.

Our game changes all the time, if you log in and weird things seem to happen, please clear your computer's cache.  See the instructions here to learn how.

Members ask me all the time "how do I earn more bucks?" Anybody who wants more Wiggins bucks is missing out if they don't enter one of our contests! Details are below. We always need good cartoons, they should be in black and white.

Pals,

Jane Crandal

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, Every cubic inch of space is a miracle. ~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

_____________

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. ~Buddha

_______________

Now, near the Winter Solstice, it is good to light candles. All the nice meanings of bringing light to the world can be beautiful. But perhaps we are concentrating on lighting the world because we don't know how to light up our own lives. ~Ralph Levy, "Hanukkah - Another View"

________________

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. ~Chinese Proverb

______________________

Still ours the dance, the feast, the glorious Psalm, The mystic lights of emblem, and the Word. ~Emma Lazarus, "The Feast of Lights"
