Volume 2 Number 43 - May 4-10, 2009

Club Pony Pals News
Club Members W-mail up a storm at the Second Crandal's Barn Loft Sleepover

Dear Pony Pals

Our May 1 virtual sleepover had over a thousand messages sent, reviewed and posted.  Along with a very wide ranging series of chat threads, our worldwide guests enjoyed over half a dozen rounds of  "20 Questions."  Answers included rats, ponies, Flamingos, Platypuses, sheep, scrambled egg slime mold, malachite and more.  CPP members surely know their animals, vegetables and minerals!

But half way through our game, one set was interrupted mid-play by a dog fight!  Our game was derailed when the questioner's real puppy got into a real fight.  She had to dive out to go help her family attend to the dogs. Her dog is OK. And she may now have a new extra dog -- the instigator.  We hear it is a Rottweiler mix puppy who dropped in for a surprise vist. A Pony Pal adventure in real AND virtual space!

Our next sleepover will be the weekend of May 15-16. But which day is still not set. Our poll is a tie between Friday and Saturday night. So vote online in this issue of the Weekly, choose which night YOU want it scheduled. Look for the winning night in the next Wiggins Weekly.

As promised, here are the top three members who have most "Pals" as of the last Sleepover and their prizes

Skittles           63 Pals     100 Wiggins Bucks

sicol             61 Pals       50 Wiggins Bucks

keely             60  Pals      25 Wiggins Bucks
                 
Congratulations! Can you make it into the top three by the next Sleepover? 

This week read and then vote for your favorite story from our April story contest. We will announce the winner at the next sleepover.

Our May story contest is now open. We have already gotten two entries! Send yours in before May 31st. Members' stories must be over 100 words in length. All entries must be written by the member who sends them in. All entries become property of Club Pony Pals. Entering the contest means you give ClubPonyPals.com permission to publish them under the byline of your username. First prize winner each month will get 1000 Wiggins bucks, a Club Pony Pals sticker and bookmark! Deadline for this month's entries is midnight May 30.  So don't put it off -- start writing today! You can read more about it in our forum.

We need your help -- we have changed "servers" for ClubPonyPals. That's our main computer for our site. We have grown so fast that our old one could not handle our members usage any more.  So, if you notice any kind of problem when you are logged in, please email us right away. You can either post a message for Jane Crandal on the forum or send an email to webmaster@clubponypals.com and describe what you are seeing. That will help us fix it!

Finally, downtown Wiggins is being built. If you would like to volunteer to be a tester who tries early versions and then writes us what you think of them, please W-mail Jane Crandal on the Forum or email the Webmaster.

Our game changes every week. Don't forget to groom your pony to keep it healthy and happy.

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

"Time is too slow for those who wait.
Too swift for those who fear.
Too long for those who grieve.
Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who love, time is not."

Henry Van Dyke

“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.”
Euripides (Greek playwright, c. 480-406 BC)

If I'd known I was going to live this long,
I would have spent more time riding horses.
