@byfelisa Glad to hear. ❤️

Do you have any of the travels yet? Since you dont want to take an Ami from me (😋) I could give you a travel or two, I have one of each already and around 350 chocolate to spend!
Not sure if Im right but I think you might not have had much time to feed and exchange.

byfelisa • 18 February 2014 at 6:34 PM

I haven't gotten the event travels just yet @poof. 😊

I have sent 325 chocolate boxes so far. Kind of disappointing but did start out very late and limited in how long I can sit so have to do feedings and break.

Awww, thanks for the offer. I want to see how far I can go but will let you know should I need anything, I promise. Hugest of Hugs!! ❤️

@byfelisa Alright, thanks for telling me. 😊

Be sure to do so though! You didnt tell me last time you needed EC again for the club account. And really, I dont mind helping out, so do tell if you want or need any. Hugs back for you! ❤️

RIDDLE GAMES

Try not to google them ^^
Also, apologies if you've heard them before

1. If the day after the day before yesterday was Tuesday, and the
day before the day after tomorrow is Thursday, what day is today?

2. In what sport are the shoes made of metal?

3. Why are 1998 dollar coins worth more than 1997 dollar coins?

4. Which is heavier: a tonne of feathers or a tonne of bricks?

5. A police officer saw a truck driver clearly going the wrong way down a one-way street, but did not try to stop him. Why not?

6. A black man dressed all in black, wearing a black mask, stands at a crossroads in a totally black-painted town. All of the streetlights in town are broken. There is no moon. A black-painted car without headlights drives straight toward him, but turns in time and doesn't hit him. How did the driver know to swerve?

7. If a plane crashes on the Italian/Swiss border, where do you bury the survivors?

8. Four people try to get underneath one small umbrella, but nobody gets wet. How is this possible?

9. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field?

10. We hurt without moving.
We poison without touching.
We bear the truth and the lies.
We are not to be judged by our size.

What are we?

@novrain62 Thank you so much for answering 😊 All of your answers are correct (the given answer for #6 was that it is daytime, but I think your answer still holds true) 😊

@spiritkoi Thank you for answering 😊 All of your answers are correct! 😃

@iulianna1 Thank you so much for answering some of the riddles, all of your answers are correct 😃

dream-within-a-dream • 8 March 2014 at 4:08 PM

@duchess

1. Spring: Lush, Green, Flowers, Bunnies, Bunny in a Meadow travel. XD

2. Only in Spring: Pick flowers, Skip in meadows XD, and hmm.. Plant something. 😊

3. Moon: (This is hard...) Well.. I would describe its pale light brightening the dark night,
as it shines glimmering among the stars.

spiritkoi • 8 March 2014 at 4:29 PM

@duchess

1. Life blossoms in every corner, no matter how small.

2. smelling the air for the faintest scent of flowers, picking flowers, and watching the wild rabbits frolic 😊

3. A gentle, peaceful guide with its soft white light, like a grandmother who looks out for you.

duchess • 9 March 2014 at 7:06 PM

Lyre birds are just awesome! They really know how to "sing"! *w*
Ahah I loved the first part of the video: this nice bird was all fluffy and cute when he inflated his/her feathers. ❤️

duchess • 10 March 2014 at 7:03 AM

@wererage Haha, I'm glad you liked the video 😃 I was blown away by the camera noises it made!
They really are adorable ❤️ I think he's a male bird - only the males have the tail feathers 😊

Saturday Greetings Everyone!!

How have you all been? I have missed you so, so, so very much while away. ❤️

May you all enjoy a wonderful and fun weekend. 😸

I like to thank the whole club for being a part of something special and for your big hearts you display towards other members of Egg Cave. I have said this many times but this is your CLUB and without there is no sunshine and fun here!

For all of you that have helped one another and promoted true friendship throughout the club I applaud you. 😊 😊 😊

Many of you are aware that my health has been an issue with being active around Egg Cave and especially in our club. I thank you with all my heart for the encouraging words and support during the difficult times I've faced.

I'm very grateful for the chance to be able to be back with everyone here and sorry it has taken so long for my recovery.

My mission as always is to make sure everyone has a great time in the club and around Egg Cave. I will do my best to take things easy and we have 7 beautiful and kindhearted moderators that I'm so indebted to for their hard work. ❤️


Please help me shout out to our latest joining members in giving them a hearty welcome via our BOAFCHAT forum thread!!

Welcome hugs to you all and may you find there is no greater and friendlier company such as our club members. 😃

If you need a bird for your cove please let me know asap so I can give you one from our club account, thanks to all who have donated to make this possible.

** NOW ON TO THE CLUB OFFICIAL UPDATE & NEWS **


A huge thank you to @duchess, @eschla, @poof and wererage!! You are the creme de la creme! You have made it possible for things to run better coming back and for your input/donations. Big huggles ❤️

Poof has given us our new mascot "Bird" who is a Harpi.
He will be the profile creature at the club's account.
Thank you, it is a beautiful gift to us all and appreciated. 😊

DarkestShadow will now enjoy retirement in his luxurious home. Where he will be pampered and has plenty of siblings to keep him company.

Congratulations to @spiritkoi and @dream-within-a-dream as they are our June's MOTM Reward Recipients!! Thank you both for showing outstanding spirit and fellowship. You will receive your CS creature later on this month. 😃

Thanks to everyone who posted the club's anthem. It warms the heart to see you champion for all birds and Egg Cavers who love them. ❤️

Thank you to dream-within-a-dream for your great kindness in running a contest to help the club's account creatures and my cove. I deeply appreciate you doing that.


There is much going on and will condense the happenings for the club's July activities.

However, before I can do that there is a need to address some changes that will be put into effect this month.


OFFICIAL CLUB CHANGES IN Effect Now:


* All Mini-Games posted by me will now include items from the Food Shop, Bakery, Toy Shop and Bean Sack in addition to Travels.

* All contests and monthly raffle drawings will include at our discretion (🪙, LE Creatures, 💵 Creatures, Starred Creatures, Rarer Travels, Resurrecting A Creature, Freezing A Creature or Changing the Gender of a Creature) and hope this new change will benefit everyone here.


JULY'S NEWSLETTER HIGHLIGHTS


On to the activities of the month!
We will have a newsletter out in a few days as well as more mini-games for your pleasure.

The highlights will be 2 contests, 3 activities and 2 recipes, 1 craft work you can make at home, bird facts, 2 puzzles and a video to view.


BEHIND THE SCENES - Moderators Working On:


Of course, there are some behind the scenes duties I have to do along with the other moderators here. We will be working on the member list being accurate and current, updating the cove lists on the club's account, establishing the new mascot for the club and resurrecting creatures.

Compiling the newsletter takes time and is involved as I do the coding by hand (yes, the old-fashioned way) for those who make their own webpages you know what I mean (raw html). If you like to contribute anything please do so right away as I can't guarantee it will make the July issue.

The club's website has to be updated and the two games there as well.

New member badges will be made with the new mascot "Bird" the Harpi on them.


Well that is a short update on everything going on and hope you will all take a part in the activities for July. 😸


** MINI-GAME TIME **


Let us mix up things to make it interesting and see how many of you not only play but get a prize too!

All you have to do is post the words that can go before and after the words you see below. It should form a compound or complete word.
Example: - - - - - - BULL = RAGING BULL


STAR / _ _ _ _



_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / STAR



STAR / _ _ _ _



_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / STAR





* ~ ~ * ENJOY THE GAME! - FIRST 10 MEMBERS TO RESPOND GETS A PRIZE * ~ ~ *

Have a great weekend and birdie ❤️ hugs ❤️ to you all.

spiritkoi • 5 July 2014 at 6:40 PM

@iulianna1 I think the word has to work both ways. 😋

iulianna1 • 5 July 2014 at 6:42 PM

@spiritkoi
I dunno, I think you just have to find words that meet the letter requirements (# of blanks) ;P

spiritkoi • 5 July 2014 at 6:43 PM

@iulianna1

"words that can go before and after the words you see below" I think that means both ways. xP

iulianna1 • 5 July 2014 at 6:46 PM

@spiritkoi
Why bother with the different number of blanks then? I think the part you quoted just means find words that can go before/after the word star that has this many letters.

In any case, it doesn't really matter xP I'm going to leave my post the same and just see if it gets corrected by a mod.
