(I'm not counting how far away I am, lol, it'd just make me competitive and I'd stay up way too late to try and make it all; better to just keep going as I can and still feel free to stop when I must, and then hopefully before Grog leaves enough doughnuts will have accumulated that it will work out. Somehow!)

@Fire: I usually have terrible luck with pop-up events, but I've been exceptional lucky this year. I rather like posting for event currency.

@Akili: That is a great way to look at it.
I just really didn't want to miss out on getting the brooches, which I already got. I just really don't want to miss anymore items.

Got a lot of bees today between posting ;o

Yeah, I'm kind of counting on there being another digging event before next April so I can get the new digging items that way; don't do much digging outside of events any more.

Yeah, if an item I needed still was leaving, I'd be counting! Ha ha ha.

(Wait. I need to go check when Grog is leaving this time. We usually have him how long? Five days?)

I've gotten at least 30 or so bees today. Hopefully I can keep getting lucky with them.

That's true. I never really thought about that CC was a posting event. Thought of it separately, but I guess it can be included as that. I do like how there is a whole range of events to do. I like the events we can get multiple ways to get the event items.
I do enjoy the planting event as well.

(I still need digging items from last year, fml, to lazy to figure out which ones I need though)

I think he leaves the 17th? I've never paid enough attention before now so not sure how long he usually stays.

I can just go look, but thanks!

Definitely I'd count the CC as a posting event, though, yeah. Especially considering that there are a few people who are frustrated by that; it tends to drive the point home, lol... it's what makes me think maybe I should do another set of brooches on the Market, though. But... I have goals too...

O_O really? I mean that's understandable for the items that will be leaving and they missed the chance to get them. If you got the extra points to spend on another set, but if you have your own goals, you have your own goals. I never really bothered getting more than one set of event items.

Not a big fan of the brooches, so I think I'll just concentrate on the hair. I really like that.

I can't wait to see what the new item is going to be!
