Wow! I'm learning so much. I'll share a bit too. I'm Janelle aka Frank and I have lived in TN for most of life although I did spend 5 years in Franklin, NC. I have been a stay at home mom and student for the past 6 years. I am married to Mike who hasn't logged into Neopets for more then a year, and I have two wonderful kids Hannah, 6 and Michael, 3. Hannah has her own account, but rarely plays. She just likes to make me paint her pets with expensive brushes. :) I just decided to go back to school to get my Masters of Arts in Teaching. I would like to teach elementary school and hopefully will get that chance this fall when I student teach. Adria is the biggest help and an amazing friend to me, and I hope to meet her face to face one day. She's the only person in real life that calls me Frank. Roo Island Malls has been some of the greatest fun I could have had while sitting on the couch. I have loved every minute of them becoming what they are now. Our teams are fantastic and have great attitudes. Thanks everyone for sharing. This is a great board.

Roo Island Mallers are the BEST :P I am known as TX here, my daughter is the one that got me started but Adria & Janelle just added to the addiction. HA!!! I joined one of the Roo Island Malls shortly after I started playing & now I manage 2 of their malls with a lot of help from _perpette_. Janelle & Adria are awesome ladies to work with & I am very proud to be a part of their team. I'm 47, I have a 14 year old daughter & a 13 year old son. I am a financial consultant in RL talking about taxes all day and how to avoid those nasty tax bombs, so I love my time spent here. I've lived in Texas all of my life and love it here.

Wow! This is fantastic! I've really enjoyed reading all these and laughed a few times. So many things I'd like to comment on, but I'm too tired right now to read back again. :P I am taking the title of the oldest away from Gil and Melissa. Now I'm it - at 49. I'll be 50 in July - eek! How did that happen? :P For those of you who are younger, I'll tell you it doesn't feel any different. You just wake up one day and you're suddenly 50 and you think, "OMG! How weird is that????" :P My name is Kris. I'm single now, but I was married for 16 years. I live alone, way out in the woods in Northern Minnesota and also have a ranch in Colorado. I love nature and the outdoors, love to travel. I also play a few instruments (mostly strings) and like to draw and do pottery. I'm a nature photography fanatic. I'm very lucky to live in a beautiful and unpopulated area so I can go for walks every day. There is a big lake about 1/4 mile away and I walk down there most days. There are deer and raccoons and wolves and porcupines and all sorts of other creatures in my yard. I feed them all, but I don't have any domestic pets except a horse. For work, I do graphic art, websites, and customer service consulting. My favorite part of my job is that I can do it from anywhere (just need my laptop), so I work at home and take my job with me when I travel. I love having that kind of flexibility. :) Oh, and yea, I've been a neopet addict for about 5 years. I'm also a Roo Island Maller. My neo dream is to have a Draik one day. :) ~ ~ ~ Love books?

I saw your pictures on the other board & I have to say I LOVE your neighbors. Seems to me you have the perfect life. With the way Dallas & Fort Worth has been growing for the last 20 years you never even know when you leave one city & in to the next. I still say the people in Fort Worth are nicer than those Dallas people :D Check out my Faerie Shop: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=texas_girl_95

I just had a random thought cross my mind. Wouldn't it be weird/cool/funny to have a room full of all sorts of neopets players? *lol* 50 year olds and 13 year olds talking about poogles and unis haha I can just picture it! /randomness -------------------- Want to be part of a 4 Mil NB ad?

Every other big activity in the world has one, even the little things! That would be amazing *lol*

Heh that's a funny thing to imagine. I know I felt weird meeting one guild mate in person once and talking to another on the phone when her computer was broken. (I don't know anyone irl who plays and don't admit it to anyone irl either =P) They did have that TCG mall tour years ago ...

Wow... I leave for a couple of days and there is 11 pages of reading to catch up with on this thread alone! I'm going to be stuck on here all day again. :P Anyways, I'm Jenn. I'm 26 years old and I live in BC, Canada with my fiance and 10 1/2 month old daughter. Right now I am on maternity leave but will be going back to work soon as a manager at a subway restaurant. *sniffle* My main passion is photography and I am hoping to find the time to take some courses asap but with planning a wedding and my fiance working full time and trying to get his band signed to a major label things are pretty hectic here already. I've been on neo for 7 years now, with a couple of breaks here and there. I love malling, (I'm currently managing a branch in Best Priced Mall) but I'm also addicted to collecting pretty much everything. I've currently put my collections on hold and am using every spare point to get to main market. Less than 20 upgrades to go!!
