Liz and I just came back from a park and there were only a few people there. Pretty sure it's due to the smoke we are still getting from BC. They say it will go away in a few more days when the winds change.

Yea, I almost always make up an HA story in my head too. And Australia does fit, although my imaginary story was something post-apocalyptic. ;-) lol

I knew you would be as high as you could go!! Congratulations! :-) I keep thinking about putting PGo back on my phone as I finally have room since I removed the Uber and Amazon Flex apps. :-P

[edit] I missed 2 pings! I got a pic of the fountains and will post. She didn't smile again. LOL ! It took us longer to park then the time we spent there. As I mentioned above there weren't many people there so I guess it wasn't as fun for her.

I used to really watch my salt too and I tried to stay under 2000 mil per day as well. Now that I have so many foods I've had to eliminate from my diet I haven't really been watching my sodium like I should be.

thanks! it took a long time and a lot of work to get there so I'm happy to finally be there

if you enjoyed playing, definitely do it!

I keep thinking about it and then worry that I'll obsess over it. ;-)

, ooooh, that works Better! :D

But I liked yours too! I almost always have a story to my HA's. And here I thought I was the only goober. :-P

Pick of Liz at the fountains:

oh, is it that bad there? i know BC is pretty bad right now, really wish for rain for them.. make a nice fresh smell after all that smoke.

It's been bad for about a week here. A few days ago it was even worse and you couldn't see anything in the Seattle skyline.

shitty, hopefully it will end sometime but they are figuring at least a few more weeks of fires. :/

hahaha :P there are new features since you last played that really help you meet other people who play too which is nice

I see the picture, that park looks so pretty! I bet she enjoyed it while she was there though. ^.^

Ahh, see I still use real hard copy books because I cannot look at kindle/phone/type screens without getting severe migraines (and vomiting, yay). LOL So luckily, libraries full of books are not obsolete yet. <3 I do wish I could just get them all in a very light, easy to carry around type of device though.

It's so sad! I can't even wrap my head around beautiful forests just burning up!

Oh that's right! I think you did tell me people could now connect on the app! Getting closer. LOL!!

I keep missing you!! :-P It's not really a park so much as a town square in the downtown of our little city. (Kent, WA)

i know :/ its the second worst fire season for BC since 1958 and if it keeps going it might become the first

there are "raids" at gyms now that you have to team up with a bunch of people to be able to take down the pokemon there for a chance to catch it. Zapdos is currently out - they finally released some legendaries. Lugia is also out too but Zapdos goes away next week

OK! That did it! I'll try to download now! LOL

I can understand phone screens giving you headaches, but kindle (the e-ink kind) screens are totally different and you can get them without a light in them, which seems like it would prevent the headaches - have you seen that kind, or only the phone like kind (like Kindle Fire which is just an Android tablet really and not an e-ink device)

I don't get headaches from my phone... but I used to get them from CRT screens back when we used those, if I didn't adjust the refresh rate and shield it from electric interference. I used to have this enormous metal box around the enormous monitor on my desk 20 years ago... I wish I had a picture. It was probably a 2 foot cube with only the front and bottom open and some holes in the back to put the wires through.

It was one of these (but this picture, from wikipedia, doesn't show the box around it that I had...)

Anyway, try looking at an e-ink device without a light and see if it really gives you a headache. Make sure to briefly close your eyes when you click to turn a page in case the motion causes the problem.

Here is some validation of this theory - people who get migraines from other screens but not e-ink Kindles: https://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=Tx2JEQCT3CQQ965

Hard to imagine there was a worse season. :-(

Done done and done!! My UN is Nahdian lol

yea, the news from then was funny though but i can see why so much burned then.. they didn't have the resources we do nowadays.

Oh that makes sense. Just so terrible! :-(

the scary thing is we might surpass it this year. 1958 = 855,968 hectares 2017 = 591,000 hectares (estimated)

Gah! And with modern means to fight fires.
