Hey everyone! Only 5,800 views to go before we hit 250,000!!! We’ll get there by Sunday or sooner. I am personally going to try to be on line at that time. It’s a busy holiday Memorial Day weekend in the US so everyone be safe and enjoy!
wow… lots of hits!!!! ^^
Freya, Just wondering if you had done the “Hawaii Kitty” quest! It’s just there is nothing about it on this page and there normally is! If you haven’t seen Kitty she is placed in Sunshine shores!
The prize is the hello kitty stool
franpatches, the Hello Kitty is on the blog quest page. You start on the dock on the beach. Good luck
For everyone’s info, trades are down. No items show up in trades.
really!
Yes. I have tried a lot lol. Oh and I also tried sending items through bear mail. They don’t show up there either -sigh- You can still trade bear bills though.
oh dear. I wanted to trade someone something. I guess I’ll just have to wait (sigh)
hey everyone just wan to let you know that when you enter a code for a free gift it doesn’t go back to the box saying you have just gotten your gift, it automatically goes back to the box that says enter your code here!
corinneultracool, thanks for posting that. I entered a code yesterday and then I couldn’t remember if I had seen the gift box. So then I wasn’t sure if I had entered the code correctly or not. Very confusing. Glad it wasn’t just me.
I found a code that everyone can use. It is for 10 bear boutique credits. Am I allowed to post it?
Freya, Freya, Freya!!!! This may sound a bit greedy on my benefit but please,please,please let aimee post the code! I need credits!
i think thats the same code that was special and that only was giving to special people at babw?i think?
Maybe…
Where do I post it?
I will post on your about me page. Not sure how recent that is, but you know where to look.
I posted. I gotta go guys! Tell me if Freya says I can post it. See you all later.
what number post is it?
oh i found it, thanks!
that is the same employee code that we are not suppose to use
Yes. Freya has asked for us to respect BABW and not use the code. It got out by accident.
Yes, it was said in the past to not share that code.
wlover12, you play webkinz right? what’s your username in webkinz? i want to add you as a friend in webkinz.
Oh I didn’t know we were not supposed to use it. Sorry!
Wlover12 – Don’t worry, you’re not in any trouble at all, you didn’t know.
Thanks kelleysunshine for helping out!
I’ve been thinking about you – how is your hubby bear?
Thanks Freya. Hubby Bear is doing so much better!! We found out about the muscle tears and his doctor gave him some kind of shot that has really helped. He is still not 100% but he is so much better. Almost like his old self again. I can not thank all of you enough for your thoughts comments and prayers!!!!
Oh kelleysunshine, that is such good news. We’re all so happy to hear that.
whats the code for? I don’t want anyone to get in trouble but how did all of you guys get to know it?
Hey everyone..this is just a test post…sorry
Where does everyone get the bear head bag from? A lot of people have it.
I think Maxine gave it out. I am not sure though. I missed her last visit.
is anyone on right now?
I think there are a few on bear blvd…
Yeah Maxine gave out that blue and yellow bearhead bag.
yeah thats the bag. I like it! When was her last visit?
oh wow thanks..I was wondering what it looked like
maxine’s last visit I belive was a couple of hours ago I guess…
wow!! i really liked the bear head bag…i wish i was there when maxine showed up…
really? I didn’t know she was coming.
everyone is waiting around like she is coming again…anyone heard anything?
I didn’t even know she was coming
I just “heard” some people talking about it. They are waiting around on bear blvd for her. Don’t know if she is coming or not.
I heard people too they said “Maxine is here!”
I am waiting
where abbie?
well it was a while back bear boulv
ok nevermind…lol my husband says it’s past my bedtime. Maybe I will catch Maxine another time. Husbands can be such party poopers! LOL
Maxine was JUST on! At first she was MaxineBearyLucky (the person) but then she left and came back as the Bear and gave out the Head Shaped Totes!!!
…she just went offline.
I finally saw her. Maxine!!!!!!!! She is so cute walking around. I was on Bear Boulevard in town square and at 1:39 am I saw her. After that I saw her in the Fashion District and then she went in to the Pawlette Coufur Boutique.
i saw maxine!!!!!!! at last i saw her..she gave me a bear head tote and bear slippers…yipeee!!:)
Good for you!!!:) I unfortunately missed her
Ah well there will be other times 
woopee! Trade’s are working again!
Does anyone know what time the game is at tomorrow.. or if it still even is tomorrow? I would be so upset if i missed it!
no i have no idea.
FranPatches – You are allowed to trade on the trading post!! Thanks for your patience!!
I still need to get you on my friends list
Come to the Bear Blvd classroom for story telling with AnneCybearGuide

She’s there now if you want to come

MAXINE CAME TO NIGHT
You have 250,000 hits!
Hurray! Let’s celebrate the blog for having the 250,000 hits! Oh you guys are lucky of meeting maxine last night, i really wanted to meet her, but every time she comes, she always come like at midnight in my place, which i can’t be on the computer. Oh so unfair for me! If you see Maxinebearylucky/Maxine, can you please tell us? That would be great!
I just got back. Boy you guys are busy. There is over a thousand more hits since you posted at noon!!! Looks like Maxine never show up. Oh well.
Hannahbearathlete10, if you see this, the system will not allow me to answer your bear mail. It says you are not on my friend list. We will have to meet up sometime and try it again. The system is running too slow last night and today so I’m not moving from where I’m at. I’m parked by the coffee shop in Bear Blvd. I have real life things to do so I’ll pop back in and check if you show up.
Yes we do!!!
251,000+! I always miss it by 1,000 it goes so fast!
I’m beary excited about that!
I’m working on line a lot this weekend but if I get a chance I will set up an open house or spa day to celebrate! Thanks everyone for being a part of it!
Congratulations Freya. Thought you might take a vacation for at least part of the weekend.
Thank you for having this place where we have met such great people. We all appreciate you so much.
**Hugs**
Yeah freya for your hits! oh and has anybody have news when Maxine coming because i really want bear slippers!
A few of us dressed in red, white, and blue and lined up on the sidewalk in the Fashion District to take a “waiting for the Memorial Day parade” picture. My computer was locking up because there were over 50 people nearby at one time. Seemed the more I ignored, the more were in the picture. So JessieLuckyBear13 and I took screen shots at exactly the same time. Wait until you see the difference. It’s so unreal. And everyone was not facing the same way in both computers.
Here’s what LuckyBear saw:

And here is what I saw:
http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=memorialdayed1.jpg
oh wow that is a mega difference,i knew it seemed like there where a lot of people hidden to me but not that many!
guys! Guess what! There’s this spa like across town from where I live and their making everything like red, white, and blue! Blue mud bath?! ewwwww… that was my only choice to go on memorial day weekend… I’m going for a lot of reasons. 1)the 250,000 hits! 2) it’s memorial day 3) one of my bffs play babv there! I gotta tell her evrything that’s going on!
plus do you think freya’s already on vaca for memorial day? She hasen’t posted in a while, not that I know of…
mikaelascubabear, Freya has a very busy Real life weekend so she is just popping in once in awhile. Blue mud sure doesn’t sound good to me.
sarahbearish, I was stunned to see the difference between the 2 pictures. LuckyBear kept saying there were only 5 there and I kept saying it was all clogged up. I can’t imagine why we so such much of a difference. I was almost feeling virtually claustrophobic
jess i get so mad when my computer doesn’t respond because theres too much people
aliciaballerina, at one point I saw you on the roof of the theatre. That was pretty neat.
ahh i was looking at the pic that you took and it looks like there is a stampede
(glab i wasn’t in the street 
)
jessbearhug, they just put blue food coloring… I think it looks pretty neat… it’s light blue and stuff.
mikaelascubabear, but doesn’t it turn your skin blue???? food coloring makes your skin turn color.
sarahbearish, lol on the stampede. Now we know why the computer’s were not working right. There obviously were more people there than we could imagine. I’m not sure why they showed up on mine and not her’s. She couldn’t possibly have had every single one of them ignored. Pretty weird. And the mob just kept growing and growing!!
Hi Mikaelascubabear,
I’m here, I’m working on a hot project that I know you will all love…..but I have been popping in from time to time! Hugs to you!
Thanks a million to JessBearHug and Faithballetbear for keeping the blog in order! What a great team!
jess when it was the first day od beats something 15 i was doing that and i was on bearmy’s haed
No problem Freya. We do what we can. You have so much on your plate, it is the least we can do to lighten your load.
jess (again), they have like those mini showers. You know, like the ones at the beach? Then they sit you down in a SOFT chair, put your feet in this bowl thats shaped like a hollow shell, then add lemon slices to the hot water. I’ve been there memorial day week last year… thats when I met my babv buddy.
well she saw my backpack and I took my kuddly koala out and my mini bunny big ears. She asked me if those were BABs, I said yes then she told me she had a ton of em’. Then september 07 I told her to pre-register herself for… BABV!
What’s up? I’m back!!! How are you all? What did you miss? And if you were wondering, it was the worst weekend of my life…:(..
Awe, Kitten, why was it the worst weekend of your life?! that sounds awful!
Because of the dorms, homesick, stomach ake, 8-9 hours of practicing Viola, mean kids, bad food, ad lame activities.
awww, I feel sooo sorry kitten! You know that used to happen to me when I was in high school and collage.
Kitten, look at the bright side, at least it is over. Right?
Yeah, except because my sister had “fun” even though people tried to steal her stuff and tease her (not that many people like her
)Then I am FORCED to go back next year because my mom and dad and me have to protect her. I was VERY mean to the people who were teasing her. she’s older and big and i’m younger and small and they were big and were scared of me. LOL
Mikeala, i’m not going to college. I am too young. I was going with my orchestra on an over night field trip.
Kitten, I don’t think that was what she meant. She just meant that she has had experiences like that when she was in high school and later in college.
oh ok. oh…..I get it now. LOL while, was college fun mikeala?
GTG good night everyone! bye!
I had the same weekend back in high school only it was the bass clarinet and my little brother.
Bye Kitten!
Every time I open my friends list, a window pops up like 2,000,000 times telling me a script in the flash player is messing something up and it logs me off! It is so annoying!
oh my goodness sarahbear371! that has happened to me four times today! and the friends list just keeps popping up and down, up and down until you eventually close everything out and start over. ugh, it is annoying! lol.
sarahbear371, I’ve had that about 2,000,000 times over the last two days. I was relieved to hear that others had it too so I knew it wasn’t my computer. I think all the new changes and the MASSES of people have made it overloaded.
Check out my pictures in post 95 above and you will see just a “few” of the people who were on at one time, in one den, in one area only. Now multiply that by all the areas and all the dens!! No wonder it was on overload.
haha JessBearHug, those pictures are amazing.. so strange! i had no idea two screens could be THAT different.
Yeah Regan, that is exactly what happens to me with my friends list! Does anyone know if having tons of friends makes it happen any more or less?
ok guys i am back sorry i have not been responding in a while
well i am changing servers from time to time looking for mazine cause my little chick furry friend keeps bothering me for the bearhead bag and i am like ok ok i will do it and i am still looking for her. PS you guys are so thoughtful and nice
i am waiting for maxine to come i am in bear blnd. still waiting for her………………..
guys if you are in bear blvd. in buildabearville. i am right in the furboulus fashion district my user name is aj2hip12621 so please visit me
sarahbear371, No, I spoke to someone who didn’t have too many friends on her list and it’s happening to her also.
LOL, I just logged on, did the nature walk and then had my annoying popup windows show up the minute I came into the Fashion district. So I had to do my control-alt-del to get the program to stop running.
Oh, just got the nice message again! five times and counting..
I am pretty sure you can only look at your friends list about one time per log-in before the error message shows up! Its sooo annoying!
LOL it does seem that way!
Has anyone noticed on BABV that there are tons and tons of Abbe/Abby/Abbey/AbbiAllHearts? I have seen some with the number 10008 after their name and I assumed that meant there are at least 10008 AbbiAllHearts!
Yeah! I always notice a lot of those things.. maybe they don’t know how to chose the name correctly, since those names are all near the top of the lists. There are also a lot of ____ 2Hip’s. Interesting lol.
Whoa, guys!! I just found something really REALLY weird! When you are looking in someones inventory while they are doing an emote, this happens!:
http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yellaim4.png
i’m glad to know i’m not the only one with the pop up thingy…has anyone ever had where someone follows you around going are you my brother/sister because you have the same name(that last part like for me its bearish)
i am in a hotel lol
what do you mean in a hotel aj2hip12621?
you mean in real life right?
sarah, that happend alot too! The only times I could see my friend list is when I log on, and when i’m on babv I could only look at it 1 time!!!
Yeah regan! It’s like there’s aj2hips vanessa2hip but mostly AJs! lol
Hi everyone! Did anyone saw Maxine last night? I am still wondering.
NOTICE: Please read the new post I have just put up, an alert about scammers!
Also FYI: This blog format isn’t set up for everyone’s parties to be announced fairly – so to avoid that I have prevented everyone from posting parties except for my official blog events. FrancescaBearPaw has come up with most of those ideas and hosted most of those events so I call her the Blog Social Queen. She is not staff on the blog, does not approve posts, and is not a director.
Very soon I will be changing the format of this blog and EVERYONE will be able to post about parties and more! It will be exciting so look for an announcement soon.
Also about trading, the format will be changed and how to be become a Trading Cub will be more defined. So for now we go with this.
Thanks and happy holiday everyone!

Yes, thanks so much CorinneUltraCool!! And in case anyone missed it, Maxine said there will be a pawty at her Cub Condo tomorrow. Meet in Town Square at noon central time tomorrow (Butterfly Garden den) and wear red, white, and blue! Happy (early) Memorial Day, everybody!
Cool! I will try to go on.
I can go!
I already have my special memorial day outfit planned!
Can you still get something free?
I’m going!
hey do any of you know if BABW will be open on monday on memorial day?
I’m not sure.
I actually think it will! Holidays are great days to make buisness!
Anyway, you can try to find out their buisness hours, but it was open on another holiday! (Can’t remember which…Labor Day Weekend?)
well I ASK CAUSE WE WERE THINKING OF GOING TOMORROW TO GET ME A BEAR
That’s cool! Which one?
LOL!
Try to get a bunny…you don’t have to, but they give you bunny ears.
kitten autumnbear asks why are you ignoring her???
starofstars i ment that there was this guy called thefestiveguy but when i tried to sign up to use that name there wasn’t that name to chose from.
corinne, you can choose THE as a first name and Festiveguy as a last name
ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok that makes sense!!
Hi!! How are you all?
Why are my coments “awaiting moderation”?
Because you changed your user name from Kitten1462 to Kitten
oh ok, I like kitten better, don’t you?
yes I do! LOL
So tell us about the music weekend what 4 songs did you play?
I used to play the viola in grammer school – LOL – if you call it that, I only learned how to play Mary Had A Little Lamb!
LOL I played:
Dragon Slayer
Sol do concerto
Fiddle Fiddle Fiddle
La Boca Grande
They were hard songs!
It was OK. I did not like some people, the dorms were old and dirty, more than eight hours of practing, bad food, and being closterfbic, afraid of the dark, and homesick.
Other than that, it was fine.
Kitten, I noticed you changed your avatar but I did not notice the name. Gald you’re back. Sorry about the miserable time.
Freya, hope your work is going well.
This must be the viola club. I played that in middle school! I hated lugging it on the city bus every day. Obviously I wasn’t that good because I gave it up as quickly as I could.
I saw TheFestiveGuy today. He’s famous now.
Who is the festive guy?
Go to the entrance! We can have our own party!
Never mind.
I did take a picture if anyone is curious. It is realistic, because no one was able to move most of the time anyhow. LOL.
http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm38/dhukai/?action=view¤t=MaxineMemorialDayParty.jpg
I sent in a picture link (pending approval) if anyone is curious. I’m so sad everyone could not get in.
Don’t forget to log in and get your jumping jacks move from Bearemy. It’s pretty cool
Starjump!
its awesome!
I just opened someone’s inventory and their avatar was doing jumping jacks!
here’s a picture:
http://i26.tinypic.com/2w1xx5d.jpg
COOL!!
hi guys thanks linda fur that picture
hee hee!
yer JessBearHug i saw him too!
You’re welcome lara. when i first opened up the girl’s inventory the avatar wasn’t moving. Then as i looked at her inventory, it started doing the jumping jacks. It scared me at first. lol
