Should I get my wolf back...?


I tried to follow my friend, Schiebeplanenwagen, to the Wolves Only Party, but this popped up...
 And it got me thinking:
Should I get Duchess Cleverclaw back??
I've had my fun, I've been a non member lion for a while. I think it's time to get Duchess BACK! 
What do YOU guys think???


Thanks for reading!
p.s. And what do you think of the music?? annoying? Cool? I don't care? AWESOME? what? lol

Weird Glitch, and Screenshot Instructions



 Weird glitch! All the servers are Kootenay! XD lol

And here are some instructions for my friend 1w2w3w! 

How to Take a Screenshot

 Step 1) Hit "prt src" on your keyboard. This will copy your screen.

Step2) now that you have your image "copied", go to Microsoft Paint. If you can't find it, try this:
Search "paint" in the "search all programs" thing on your start menu.

Step3) once you are at Paint, click this button that I've circled.

Step4) Right click, then hit "paste"

Step5) Once you do that, it should look something like this^


Step6) select only the part you want
Then, just re-position it to the top left corner, down-size the rest of the space, and Save it! :D Be sure to save it as a PNG file, not a JPEG. Jpeg's will get all blurry looking..
Hope this helps! :D

YAY! A den! ^-^

 
I have a Clan Den in my... den! lol!
It's just one den, so it's not like a whole Clan Camp, or anything. Just a cozy resting spot. :)
And it's all thanks to...
 
SCHIEBEPLANENWAGEN!!


Here's the story:
I was in his den, and we were talking about his AWESOME book that he's writing. I kept on going into this den

While we were talking, and he gave me the idea that I could make one of my own, too! :D
 
Soo... he kindly offered to give me some green mats! :D how cool, right?? :)
 
We traded, and WHAM! There's my Clan den! :D 
 
Cozy, right? :D
 
It wouldn't be the same without the green mats to make it more outdoorsy looking! ^-^
Thanks again, Schiebeplanenwagen!! :D
 
Thanks for reading!
 
p.s. What do you think of my new signature?? :D

To get a part, just send me an email telling me what part you want to do, your screen name, your first entry, and which weeks you can't do it. We'll need two of each, for backup, just in case. If I can't make the newspaper, there will be a backup email for you to send it to so it at least gets posted.

Here's what I need, and a brief description.
 
  • A reporter that tells all the new items of that week, including Rare Item Monday. Includes pictures. People needed: 2
  • A reporter that tells about the contest and who is winning. People needed: 2
  • A reporter that gives ideas to dress and decorate your den. People needed: 1

And I know that I have lots of un-replied comments, but I don't have time to reply to all of them at the moment.... Sorry....
But! I DID read each and every one of them, and I recorded them for the giveaway people over there ---->
 
Just a little reminder, Schiebeplanenwagen, you still need 4 rhyming comments and one grateful comment.
I think everyone else has the required stuff, but just double check on the sidebar. :)

Animal Jam Puma

 
 
Loook!! A puma sighting! I blurred out the username so she wouldn't get tons of pointless buddy requests. .-.
Now, before I go further, full credit for knowing about these goes to Kinyonga and Peppywolf. If they hadn't told me, Clueless Amelia here would have had no idea there was such thing XD
 
Anywho, back to business. ;)
 
How on earth do you GET a puma? Well, here's the answer! :D
 (Full credit to PEPPYWOLF)
 
You buy the Big Cats wristbands from the AJ shop or whatever. They come with a code which you then use to creat a PUMA! :D Voila! A non member land animal that isn't a wolf, a seal, a tiger, or a bunny! XDD
once the code has been used, it can't be used again. So nobody had better go around asking people for unused codes. GOSH is that annoying... -.-
 
Hope this was helpful! :D
 
Thanks for reading!

Adding Link Within

Here's how to get the"You Might Also Like" thing on your blog. 

 Click the Link Within... er.. link XD


 It should take you to a page that looks like this:

 Fill out the information:
your email
your blog link
and what type of blog platform you are using.

Make sure you decide how many "you might also like"s there are. Mine has four, obviously. 
If your blog has a dark post background make sure to click that box

After that, click "get widget" and it should bring you here. 


 Click the "install widget" link, and it will take you to your blogger dashboard, or have you sign into it.
 
Once you get to this stage, be sure to click around in the content and template of the widget, otherwise it won't work. I don't know why, but it's really weird. . .

 Add the widget, and then go to layout and position it under your blog posts.

Thanks for reading!

I am A Christian. Mormons Are Christians.



 This will just be a quick post, because I've got company coming over in just a few short minutes.
I see a lot of you have gone what I call "Comment Crazy"
Needless to say, I'm not going to reply to all of those at the moment. ;) But, I did READ all of them. 

And I MUST clarify something that Peppywolf said. 
Mormons ARE Christians!! I'm a Mormon, and I'm a Christian. 

In fact, I actually wrote an essay about this very subject. I'll show it to you. The stuff in parentheses are sources that PROVE what I say. It had to be in MLA format.
Anways, I KNOW and LOVE Jesus Christ. I am, indeed, a Christian.

Are Mormons Christians?
            With the election coming up in just over a week, many people harangue Mitt Romney about his religious beliefs. People know that he is a Mormon, and that raises the query: Is he a Christian? People often surmise that since he’s a Mormon, he isn’t a Christian. That is false. The definition of the word “Christian” is, “A person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ, or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus” (Guralnik 253). The Mormon Church is certainly a religion that bases its teachings on those of Jesus Christ. Since Mitt Romney is a Mormon, he is also a Christian. Mormons are, in fact, Christians.
            The term “Mormon” is actually a nick-name for “the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” The full name of the church in and of itself suggests Christianity. The homepage of the website mormon.org states the major belief of the Church: “We believe first and foremost that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and the Son of God” (mormon.org). Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also preach about Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of gaining a testimony of Him and His divine role as our Savior and Redeemer (lds.org). From the time children in the Church are eighteen months old, they are taught basic truths such as “Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father Love Me” (Behold). If Mormons were not Christian, would they teach their people, and even their children, about Him? I don’t think so. Mark 3:25 says, “If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”
            The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ is another book of scripture used by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book’s primary purpose is to bring people to Christ. Nephi, a writer in the Book of Mormon (much like Matthew or Mark are in the Bible), states his purpose for writing part of the Book of Mormon: “For the fullness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved” (The). Jesus Christ is mentioned an average of once every 1.7 verses in the Book of Mormon (lsdces.org).
            I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know from my own experience the veracity of the fact that Mormons are Christians. The things I learn at church and through reading the Book of Mormon strengthen my faith in Christ, and motivate me to do my best to serve Him. Every Sunday, my church leaders talk about Jesus. I know that He is my Savior, and that without Him, I am nothing.
            To think that Mormons are not Christians is an egregious misconception. If you truly analyze the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you will see that they are centered on Christ and His teachings. There are manifold ways that this is promulgated. Some anti-Mormons with malevolent intentions try to skew things that Mormons say to make it sound just the opposite. But the fact remains, and shall remain forever and ever: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Christian church.

Election Day



Election  Day 
Today, Americans have an important decision to make. Today, we are deciding who we want to lead this great country for the next four years. 

 Do we want four more years of Barrack Obama?

  • In 2008, Obama promised to cut the national deficit in half. He didn't. It is now 16 trillion dollars.
  • Obama promised to reduce unemployment. The unemployment rate is now 8%. That's 12.3 million people that don't have a job.
  • Obama criticized small-business owners by saying quote, "If you have a business, you didn't build that. Someone else made that happen." Really?! 
  •  President Obama said in 2008: “If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.” Sounds nice and pretty, right?
  • He promised to lower taxes on the middle class people. Instead, he raised them.

  • Under Mitt Romney's leadership, the state of Massachusetts was able to cut taxes 19 times.
  • Massachusetts's schools are the leading schools in the nation because of Mitt Romney.
  • Mitt Romney does not support the killing of innocent human babies - otherwise known as abortion.
  • Mitt Romney knows how to create jobs - something Americans DESPERATELY need!!
  • Mitt Romney is a hard-working, honest, Christian man who loves the Lord.

Yes, Obama. It's time for some REAL change. A change in the presidency, that is! We CANNOT afford four more years of Barrack Obama's frivolous spending. If he gets elected again, our future as Americans won't be as bright as it once was. The American Dream won't be such a glittering star in the firmament of the world. 
Let's make our voices heard. Support Mitt Romney for president!! Tell your parents you want MITT ROMNEY to be the next president of the United States! 

Please realize this - WE ARE NOT RACIST!! But Barrack Obama simply isn't working. We need a NEW president.
Sorry if this offended anyone... It wasn't meant to.
