I wish there were a way to know who lit what torch so individual thanks (or a quick torch relight in return) could be given! :) Thus far I've made two Jeeode, two Ghazts, two Grumpyre since the wishing torches went live (and had been trying just for one of each for months with no success), as well as countless Quarristers! You guys have been really great! I'm still lighting torches, though a little sporadically. It's the last week of the semester, and finals begin this week, so things are a bit crazy at my house. Good luck everyone! Keep wishing!

Friend Code: 4321600KM WHAT?! You are putting school before MONSTERS??? Where are your priorities, Lady?! : )

I am lighting you daily LL...or I am again, now (thanks to Ladybird, THANKS Ladybird!) I've restored my list after I accidently burned down MY laboratory. Glad the torches are working for you. And good luck on your finals!

I just had an epiphany on how to cure our Who's lighting Who woes...you guys tell me what you think, and if you like the idea too, let's all send in the suggestion, maybe they will act on it:  On our friends lists, next to each name, there could be a button -- it would light up green when a friend has visited within the last 24 hours, and red if they have not. I am no computer programmer, but it's the same basic mechanics as the wishing torch, in reverse..so I don't think it would be too hard for them to do it. It wouldn't be for just wishing torches, but any visit...so it wouldn't be an exclusive tool for us torchers.

It's not a perfect solution, but it seems doable, and gives us a lot more info than we have now. So, (for example) I can see if Lady Lab has been red for a week or two...but I would ALSO know that she came by pretty regularly for a month or so before that, so I'd think maybe she is taking a road trip to Alaska or something. And if we are in a hurry and/or are feeling scroogey on  a particular day, we can quickly go down our lists and light up the green lighters....it would foster reciprocity.

Whaddya think?? > gleed. 5658398CC You're so lucky, Lady Laboratory! I'm still working on my 2nd Jeeode. I'm happy for you, as I am part of the people who have been lighting your torches daily. Good luck!

To Gleed:  Your idea seems good...
