Whoop! I won
I didn't think I would as I thought my entry too silly to win.
Thanks freyasmom for the contest and the pcc.
I can already feel it burning a hole in my pocket. HaHa I already have my eye on Surface: Game of Gods (for the story) or Dark Parables: Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide just to see how Eipix did on one of my favorite series. Thanks again!
Congratulations, sweetie, it was my most extreme pleasure! 
Maybe I'll try to think of something fun and exciting for Christmas too! Nothing like a surprise gift to cheer up a day.
I'm probably going to get Surface in the SE. Unless someone says the bonus game is critical to the story. I already have Little Mermaid. Accidentally bought Black Rose CE and have to return it. 
Was in a drugged, sleepy stupor 
and I kept falling asleep playing the beta/demo and hadn't really made up my mind yet. But, there it was in my game manager. 
The wind is blowing fiercely outside
(wish it would snow too) and it's cold as _ - _ _ _ _ _ ' _ - _ _ _ (3 words - you'll NEVER guess it) in my bedroom. Snuggled under the covers typing away with Freya snuggled ....... ON TOP OF THE COVERS at the bottom of the bed!
NO! NO! NO! 
Nice furbaby should be snuggled up next to mommy who spoils her unmercifully 
and KEEP MOMMY WARM!
Have a lovely Thanksgiving Thursday!

I have a MILLION of 'em. My husband had the BEST sayings I've ever heard and apparently they've rubbed off on me!
I guess YOU WIN .... something.
Happy Thursday Turkey day to you!

Re: POND NEWS
POND NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 1 - 7, 2014:
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, please to put a penny ............. oops - singing again!
To get into the Holiday Spirit: FAIRWAY and FAIRWAY SOLITAIRE BLAST will have holiday-specific themes. Fairway Solitaire Blast will have holiday - specific tournaments.
For those who play DARK MANOR --- you can now decorate your manor for the holidays! Keep an eye out for "reindeer walkers". 
......... ......... If you don't know what that is ... just ask ... cuz I "got" it immediately - lol.
For those who play CASCADE ---- Jaspar is going to get a little Santa outfit. How cute!
PANDA PANDEMONIUM isn't going to be left out as even the PANDAS are getting into the holiday spirit. In fact, Jessica says "you have to try it out for yourself to see what it is and you will faint it will be so cute."
FOUND, GUMMY DROP and MIDNIGHT CASTLE are also supposed to be getting holiday-themed things.
WOOOOO - HOOOOOO! A Holiday-Bundle is going to be released this week on iPhone and iPad 
that will INCLUDE the first 2 Christmas Story games. Notice I said INCLUDE - because THIS BUNDLE will consist of 9 games in total! At a 40% discount price. I hope you all enjoy this treat 
because, as you know, I am SCARED
OF MY PHONE! And darling daughter 
wants to upgrade me at tax-time (shiver shiver). It is rumored that there is a Samsung Galaxy 5 (?) in my future. 
Apparently, in the past, before I started watching POND NEWS (or anyone else for that matter), Carlos and Jessica did a 60-second "spot" for: Games You Might Have Missed That We (Carlos and Jessica) Really Dig. I'm going out on a limb here and will guess it was on the old Jessica's Playlist FB page. Well, folks, it's b-a-c-k! For YOUR reading pleasure!
Games You Might Have Missed That We (Carlos and Jessica) Really Dig
Carlos' Pick: MAC ---- Patchworkz (see my game review).
Jessica's Pick: Wanderland (If you like Midnight Castle, you will like Wanderland.) Allows you to get your fairytale fix in this F2P game. You are sent on an expedition in a fairytale world with only one mission ---- find the clues you need to fix the broken fairytales. You get to immerse yourself into the world of your favorite fairytale.
With the holiday season upon us (or CHRISTMAS season, as some of us are wont to say - yes, I DARE to WONT!), BFG is going to have 12 Days of Contests, Prizes and Give-a-Ways! According to Carlos and Jessica, all you need to do is check out the BFG FB Page every day. BUT, the link given was www.bigfishgames.com which is NOT the FB page. They can also be found at Twitter but not for any freebies!
Do you like my Christmasy/holiday-ey paragraph???? 
I will DEFINITELY make it a point to check out the BFG FB page every day. If anything notable is there ..... I'll let you know.
STAY TUNED NEXT WEEK FOR MORE ------------------------ POND NEWS!

Re: POND NEWS
I'd love another tablet, hubby has taken custody of mine. I'm usually checking FB a couple times a day but I always forget to go to BFG page, thanks for the heads up. I'm a member of Pond Friends on FB, it started even before the big flush.
No matter how much I complain, I'm grateful for all I have.

I think I understand you're reference to Pond Friends, the Forum? POND NEWS has nothing whatsoever to do with Pond Friends the Forum, other than I used to post POND NEWS there - they were not very receptive.

Re: POND NEWS
No, not the forum. There's a group on Facebook called Pond Friends, started before the BFG forums were axed. We just yak a bit and post a lot of crazy cat lady stuff, lol. We talk about BFG a bit, but not so much as time goes on. It's weird cause most of us use our real FB account with our real names and you forget what the pond name is. There's a list you can cross-reference, one of these days I'll have to print it out. None of my real life friends do these kind of games, I hang with a lot of younger men and they're all into Xbox and Playstation. I don't really know many women in real life so it's nice to have some cyber friends who understand
