Ganz, my Webkinz Signature Spotted Juguar’s eyes are green on my computer. I think this is a glitch that needs to be fixed!
I believe that this is the first Podkinz episode that I’ve ever listened to!!! Awesome room, jkj1004! I love Nancy Drew books as well, although I do have preferences over certain “types” of Nancy Drew books. My favorite type is the “Nancy Drew Files” because I find them to be a lot more dramatic and exciting then the other types. Just my opinion. :) ***MidnightQueen***
That’s awesome! :) i like the original Nancy drew books, they are the only ones I have been reading. :) i own a bunch. Nancy Drew Files are not original, but they are probably good too. :) Nancy Drew rocks! ;)
I like the Nancy Drew Files too MignightQueen :) I read all the Nancy Drew series not just one series :)
Which books of the “Nancy Drew Files” series have you read? ***MidnightQueen***
I’m up to number 7 :) I just started the series but It’s soooooo good I just have to keep reading more :)
Dear Podkinz, I think that the Webkinz Votes 2014 storyline is amazing! I got so intrigued by it, and I am excited to see who is going to win! I am voting for Ms. Cowoline, because she stated that change should be a choice supported by the citizens, which is one of the major things I was looking for in the candidates. However, based on what I’ve heard from other players, I think that Cowabelle Cowoline has a very good chance of winning. If I was going to run for mayor, my platform would be similar to Ms. Cowoline’s: I would listen to the citizens’ thoughts and requests and act according to what they want. I would also work hard to make sure that every citizen has what they need, including education, available jobs, and a recreation department for activity! Those are my thoughts, and I can’t wait to find out more about this story!
btw my platform would probably be… adding fun stuff like restaurants and movie theaters, and more on the entertainment/art side of things. i would also make more clothes for free players. :) -NANCYDREW1
great podkinz episode!!!! NANCY DREW AND HARDY BOYS?!?!? OMGoodness I love those!!!! (as you can tell by my user LOL) -NANCYGEEK
I read those books too :)
I mean NANCYDREW1 whoops… i call myself them both LOL!
Haha funny. xD
OMG! OMG! I have read cam (i forgot her last name) nancy drew and encyclopedia brown
Yay!
They’re all such good series.
Nancy Drew is awesome…. I’ve read a TON of the old yellow backs. I also play the Nancy Drew computer games- they are awesome too! -NANCYGEEK
I liked the Hardy Boys for a while! I thought the mysteries were pretty good and not predictable. :)
I’ve read Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Brown, and the Hardy boys ArtMagician :) All are great book series! :D
I haven’t read those books yet. I usually read manga’s, which are suppose to be Japanese comic books, and yes they get translated in English. But anyways, I’m reading an interesting book called “Wonder” has anyone here read it? Don’t spoil it for me, I’m only around part 2 right now.
LOL I am such a geek! xD Wow, I wonder how many times I’ve said that?
I am voting for cowbelle and if I ran for mayor my platform would be to take away deluxe and make sure all members (and free ones) got the same abilities. -webkinzrockz131 or babydog0902 :)
and P.S. #join the adventure!
#JoinTheAdventure sorry. :)
If you ran for mayor, would you at least refund the money that players spent on Deluxe Memberships? I am a Deluxe Member, and I really enjoy the advantages of being Deluxe. Just asking! ***MidnightQueen***
Thanks Podkinz!!!! I have a question could Jerry the frog enter the race? He doesn’t have a job yet so we wouldn’t be pulling him away from anything!
and I liked the podkinz! i love mysteries! i also love writing them!
ok sorry i mean’t to say that thing about the pumpkins and not doing the challenge in time….. forgot to log out of my sisters account (it’s a never-ending problem haha)
Help! I waited too long to do my Halloween challenge! and when I started I didn’t know that I would have to harvest 10 pumpkins! and there is no way they would be ready to harvest in 2 days! and I really don’t want to have to pay E-store points to skip the task! I know there is probably no way to go around it…… :( I really want the haunted hearth…. :’(
well, no there is no way to go around it, but if you want to meet in the forum, I’ll trade mine to you. :) if you’re interested, meet me under my post on page 17 of the my for trade list forum. :) The hearth isn’t posted there, but just mention my offer, and we will get to work on our trade, ok? :)
ok prprprprp. sorry again about the whole wrong account thing
if you haven’t gotten it yet, i have an extra. send me a FR!
ugh sorry everyone i mean’t to say that….. i forgot again to log out of my sisters account
I though he would run because he doesn’t have a real job in Webkinz World, so he would have plenty of time to run Webkinz World. :)
Same here animelover7644, I thought Jerry the Frog would run, he doesn’t have a job, and I think he could be mayor.
AWESOME NINJA BEDROOM I LOVE IT NINJA TURTLES IS LIKE MY LIFE ;D
LOL I like Ninja Turtles too :) It’s a pretty cool room! I should make this room, buy a ton of turtle webkinz and named them after the Ninja Turtles, and dress them in Ninja outfits :D lol
thats what i was thinking of doing eventually lols
I’m going to be a girl Ninja Turtle for Halloween!:) #It’s All Good
LOL I like the ninja’s in Naruto better! xD
I am either voting for Miss Cowoline or Cowobelle. I think they should join forces and be a mother daughter team. Or, say Miss Cowoline wins. She (with he daughters permission) could use some of Cowobelles ideas :) . My campaign speech would be: Hello fellow friends of kinzville. I have played webkinz for many years. During these years I have met many people. I have also watched kinzville change. It is very interesting. I have seen tragedies, I have seen improvements. I have seen kinzchat being taken away, and new awesome clothes come in. I want kinzville to be a fun place to be. Over the years it has been mostly always good times on here. I want to make them all good times. If you are new and just starting webkinz, I want you to know you are welcome here and webkinz is a fun place. Vote for me and I will bring good times. #good times……………………………… Thanks for reading! Its really lame but eh. Lol
LOL, I’d vote for you!:) #It’sAllGood
Great Podkinz episode it was so fun :D
jkj1004! You made an awesome room! I really like it :D :D :D Is it ok if I copy that room u made? I would love to have that AMAZING room in my house :) :) :)
I just started to build it I alwas finish Michael’s lets build videos even if I have to buy Gpoints :D
u do ????????? because I’ve been to your house before and u only have 1 pet and 1 room :/
thanks playnow puppy! You can make the room if you like, that is why i made it so other webkinz users can have fun making it! Have fun! :D
If it is alright I would like permission to build it too. I always love to see a great room design!
Haha. This article was posted 3 minutes before your post and it’s a 12 minute video. Do you know how to time travel!? ;)
That’s weird. lol xD
lol I wish! what I did is skipped to the kinzpost first to see if my comment was read, then I posted a comment, then finished watching the rest of the video :) :) :) but sometimes I see adds for articles like this ahead of time and I can see the adds before anyone else ahead of time :)
Great Room design JKJ1004! And as always nice Podkinz Ganz.
here is my thoughts on the people in the race. Daisy Doe: has good intentions but is putting them out there the wrong way. Tabby-Von-Meow: Good ideas but would we be pulling her away from her job too much? Ms. Cowoline: has great ideas and intentions, but running the kinzville academy is a big job! and without her in it most of the time what would happen??? Dex Dangerous: Has bad ideas, is too full of himself, and is running for the good of himself not the good of kinville! Cowabelle: great ideas has a good personality and understands what people are thinking! but the question everyone is asking, Is she too young? Sheldon Turtle: doesn’t care a whole lot. Yeah that is what i think. if i were running i would have a platform that involves the residents of kinzville voting on actions that have to do with them. take a weekly poll that has to do with how kinzville! and if something needs to be done give the people a Choice! I would love Jerry the frog to run with that platform! sorry for such a long comment!
I totally agree with all of your views on the candidates. Still unsure for who I am going to vote for. :)
I just realized my question got answer, Thanks Ganz!
Congrats JKJ1004! Your room is posted here! So cool! Great episodes as always, Podkinz! ☺☻♥☻☺
Dear Podkinz, I really can’t wait for the elections to start this November! I’m looking really forward to it, but I’m also kind of nervous too. I think its just because this is one of the biggest events I’ve ever seen on webkinz. And there are so many people running for mayor. But I do know who I want to elect, I’m voting for Cowabelle, because she’s AWESOME!!! #JoinTheAdventure
Maybe her\his computer was slow and didn’t actually post until that time :)
Dear Podkinz, I am voting for Sheldon for a VERY good reason! I’ve noticed that with every change that a candidate want to make in webkinz there is always something bad that goes along with it! He is the only one that thinks Kinzville is already perfect (which it is) and there are no bad things that goes along with his promise! SHELDON ROCKS! PS.I was the first one to start hash tagging for mayor! #It’s All Good
Actually, I think playnowpuppy or CountryKinz17 started first…
LOL that’s possible! xD
That might be true, but if so I didn’t notice, so I wasn’t copying anyone, it was all me for my original idea.
Dear Pokinz, I’m voting for Cowabelle for mayor of Kinzville :) I can’t wait for the elections to start! I’ve convenced many of my friends to vote for Cowabelle too :D We’re all very excited about the elections! I love how just because she’s a kid dosn’t mean she can’t do CRAZY COOL stuff :D I think that’s true in real life as well! #Join the adventure :) :) :)
I liked listening, and that room is AWESOME!
oh Neelima, there is some type of glitch in the webkinz trading room, that does not always allow our trades to pass through, mostly in kinzchat plus. maybe it’s not webkinz’s problem, it might be my computer, but would you please check it out? thanks!
I have the same problem very often….
a glitch I have Neelima, is when I go to the trading room in the Clubhouse, and I click on the Runway my pet disphers and it logs me out :(
Yay! My room was put on podkinz! thanks podkinz!
WOW AWESOME ROOM jkj1004!!! I absolutely love it!!! :D :D :D Great work ;)
Podkinz, I am very exited to find out who is the mayor of Kinzville I think I am voting for Sheldon because his approach is to keep webkinz the way it is but I’m not sure what my final decision is so I will wait to finish reading all the special reports that Ella posts. If I were mayor of kinzville I would have the same approach as Sheldon, #It’s all good
I love Podkinz!!! It is nice that they have it! :)
