Thanks to all of you for the warm welcomes. Will be sending you guys some codes later today when I get back on.

We enjoyed playing around on the test server this morning. I haven't seen so much excitement about Toontown in this house since Sellbot HQ hit the streets last year! It was refreshing to play in a quiet, intimate setting with such nice, helpful players. The spirit of cooperation was inspiring to see.

We created three toons, took turns playing them, and got them all up to choosing toon-up before it was time to go:

Lady Daffodil Bagelburger (played by mom Violet Bagelburger)

Fluffums Sparkleton (played by daughter Ginger)

Yellow Mouse (played by the son formerly known as Fluffy before mom took him over <g>)

We had some problems with the computer freezing, which cut into Lady Daffodil's time prematurely. These problems are probably related to our computer rather than Test, since we've had problems on Open in recent days as well. Otherwise, all went VERY smoothly--we experienced less lag and faster system response on test compared with Open, which was very nice.

It was nice to see some familiar faces--Miss Marple, TWO Bellyrinas, and probably many others in disguise.

Coral Monkey and Cream Duck--If you're out there, Lady Daffodil would be happy to send you some codes. :-) Let's get this party started!
