In August I got a new little rat, Stripes. She is the MOST demanding rat I have ever met LOL

My rats spend all the time I am home with them at the computer desk with me, it's set up for them to be there. But when Stripes wants attention she will jump onto my lap and climb up my chest and shove her nose in my ear and sniff loudly until I give her the attention she wants.

I love my rats so much, pic link below:

Stripes, equally entranced by the camera strap, isn't she naughtily cute.

This is a supply and demand economy on this site. For those of you who apparently do not understand what that means, it means that the price people are willing to pay, is the price that people are going to charge.

I am writing this because I am tired of trying to explain myself over and over again. "Why won't you sell me this for half as much" Frequently because I PAID more for that item than that, also because I can sell the item to someone else for the price I asked for in the first place. I'm not saying I'm not a wheeler and dealer, I'm always up for an interesting trade, but I don't make discounts on pure, if I ask for a specific amount, I won't take less and I don't have to.

"But the price is too high, and I want it now!!" Of course the price is high, EVERYONE wants these items now. When clothes first came out I made millions restocking them, now I would be lucky to break even most of the time. When the demand is high, price is high, and me putting my entire collection on the market for half price would only lower the price for a moment before deal seekers bought me out and the market restablized.

"But your prices in particular are unreasonable." Really now??? How did you find me? The shop search's lowest price you say? Enough said I think.

If you want something I have, save up until you have the price I want for it, or find out what items I want, and see if we can trade. I am not a monster, but I am not your friend either (unless I actually am, and then this isn't aimed at you LOL)


Repost of earlier opinion so it doesn't get lost (it's never slipping off the page now that Jay has left the site due to concerns similar to the below mentioned

---------------------------------------------------

If you have an opinion, post it on your blog???? Okay Ian, here's my opinion, ^opinion omitted because I thought it might be "rude"^. I thought the beauty and wonder of your creation would mean that you would be an evolved person interested in creating a fascinating community, I find I was wrong.

*Also, I've said it a million times, this site was created for me and Laimay and we'll run it the way we want to.*

-Well I earn my money for me, and I guess I'll spend it the way I want to and no longer monitarily support your site. This is a terrible statement to make, and I am insulted.

*Why? Because thats the only way we still have *ANY* fun out

I am grateful

For rain
that makes the flowers grow
For pain
that makes me love feeling good so
For illness
so I can appreciate good health
For hardship
that makes me learn about myself.

I am grateful

For family
that taught me to deal with strife
For drama
for giving me an interesting life
For lonliness
that taught me I love me most
For Grief
For now I keep loved ones close

I am grateful

For life on bad days
For hard times, and bad ways
for having known I tried
I am grateful for being alive

I am grateful

For loss
that taught me to place value
For lies
So now I know to be true
For Despair
Since no hope's in vain
For hunger
that make's a feast of fare that's plain

I am grateful

For want
that makes what I get so great
For failures
that taught me some things matter more than haste
For Arguing
that taught me not to give up the fight
For Darkness
so I remember to turn on the light

I am grateful

For bad news, for bad guys
for black hearts, and white lies
for having known I tried
I am grateful that I am alive.

Thank you Krissy for being so wonderful as to help me out with RP to help me buy the poison that turned my named pet.... INTO MY DREAM pet!!!

Yes, I know you all think I'm weird with my creepy pets, but I love my undead Paffuto. I fell in love with them when I fell in love with the dukka trove game, but since I kept braining my poor beloved fishy, I thought it would be appropriate for it to be a zombie.

When poisons came out I rejoiced that all I would need to do was save up some, then buy that poison, I was mere weeks from my dream pet... I just knew it!!!!

Well, Krissy generously offered a great deal of RP on one of my trades and I got to get it THAT same day!!! I was so happy, and I will always remember that act of kindness.
