I tried that feature out on a few of the sites but I can never get a picture of my face that is straight enough. Take care, hun hugs

Awe poor kitty. Sometimes they are braver then they should be. I always wanted really long hair, but I can't even do anything with the hair I have lol. Yes and they put their names on anything and everything. I am suprised they don't have kardashian toilet seat covers! The problem is that so many of their fans are really young. No kid should be looking up to them like they are some kind of role model. There are a lot better people to fill that spot. Who are you riding with that swerves or checks their phone that much? I never even touch my phone when driving. I don't think anyone should. No phone call or text is worth it. I always gripe at my niece about stuff like that. I can't imagine it either. That is a shame. You are family and it is terrible to treat a family member like that. Well I can understand that she misses her son. At least after that you guys will go to your house and be 2 hours away from them. Forget the writing! Just give me a fork! Reading the cake would cut into my eating time lmao! That should have been a high priority for them. Even if it is just for the fact that they should be worried about getting sued or something. One of you could have become seriously ill. You would think that they would want to cover their butts. Exactly! Emily's school was an online virtual school so basically everything was done online, but there was always a problem with kids using wikipedia or plagerizing(sp?). There was always an email reminding everyone of what they could and couln't use online. That is why I am always surprised when I see a rainbow item and it is not on my WL. Too many times the name has NOTHING to do with what the item is. Makes it harder to find things some times. I will never get that ach. I love shopping too much :D OMG I hate that. I have such a fear of choking that I always have a hard time taking pills. Even small ones.

Yes, they can be, but he's learned to wait until I'm standing on carpet now. Tiny kittens are braver than they should be, they always try to launch themselves out of my lap. Or they decide that because they can walk, they no longer need to stay in the hiding spot they been living in. I had really long hair until part way through my freshman year when I cut it short, about shoulder length. Then every year after that, I kept my hair around shoulder length because it was easier to straighten. At that time, my hair was just wavy and frizzy so it was always poufy and I hated it. Then in college, the curls started to become more defined. I'd like to cut my hair but I don't want to lose the curls that I do have and I know I'll regret cutting my hair a week after I do it. It's long enough that I can trim it myself, might not be perfect but it saves me $13 to $15. Those would be some expensive toilet seat covers! I've noticed that their fan base is young and that's sort of lead to young girls wearing makeup really early and dressing like a teenager/young adult. There are people like Gary Sinise and Mike Rowe who young kids could be looking up to, not reality tv stars. My parents do and I had a college roommate who would drive with her knees so she could text. I'll grab the phone out of my mom's hand whenever she messes with it for too long, however it ticks my mom off. I just watch the road and get ready to grab the steering wheel if I have to. I try not to mess with my phone while I'm driving. I have a smartwatch, so that shows me who has texted me or who is calling. Saves me from having to look down at my phone and I can quickly determine if I need to answer the phone or not. I think she justs needs to be told that its time for her to take a step back and finally realize that she doesn't have to do everything for two of her sons now. It really irked me when I found out that she signed Chris up for free care packages because it was something I wanted to do and it felt like she was trying it make herself seem better than me, in terms of who did more for Chris during this deployment. You'd think she would want to do something nice for me or send me something nice because she brags on Facebook about having two wonderful and amazing daughters-in-law, yet I can't really say that she's done much for me during this year except add stress. lol! Yeah, the cakes are pretty good. I never get to eat mine right away because my mom always takes a picture of me with my birthday cake first. And I've learned that I have to take the cake out of the freezer and put it in the fridge about 15-20 minutes before I plan on eating some because otherwise, it's too hard to cut into. It really should have. It shouldn't have needed to brought up at all. The girl I pestered about it just acted annoyed, like it wasn't a big deal at all. Well, it would have been a big deal if someone ended up in the ER or dead. I think it's just that the older members didn't really care, they wanted the new members to go through what they had to, like homecoming activities for instance. That was another big issue I had. I didn't really care to participate in Homecoming but the last semester I lived in the house, some of the members tried to force the new members and my pledge class (who were now living in the house for a second year), to participate in 5 homecoming activities and 15 hours of pomping (making a parade float). If we didn't meet the requirements by the end of the week, we would be fined $10 dollars for every missed activity and a certain amount for the pomping. I didn't meet the requirements but I never got fined, maybe cause the treasurer knew it was stupid to force people to participate. We were always told that Wikipedia isn't a reliable source in school, yet when I worked at a bigger high school, I never heard that mentioned once. Whenever I worked one on one with kids, I did try to steer them away from Wikipedia though. They need to be more clear when naming things. I don't mind when something has a really clever name, but at the same time, I pretty much only remember what the item looks like, not what it's called. Like the two new bonus items have simple names that match the image. I'm not sure that I'll ever get the ach. either. Maybe if I had been more active in my early years on the site I would have had a better chance. It will take make a while to make 52 billion unless the richer users all go on a major shopping spree. At least my first reaction was to heave so it didn't stay stuck long. I made sure I took a bigger drink today so the vitamin when down better. I've had people suggest that I break it in half since it's huge but then that means I have to swallow 3 things, the two halves of the vitamin and then the magnesium. Chris finally realized that I have a hard time swallowing pills after he watched me hold water in my mouth for an extended amount of time before swallowing. I always have to convince myself that I won't choke.

I still want a kitten :( but we have to wait until we are more financially stable. They can be so expensive. Emily had curlier hair when she was younger and I kinda wish it had stayed that way. When it grew out long the curls just sorta straightened out. Now it is just wavy like mine. I cut my own hair, but it always just to cut the ends. Yeah there are some people doing really good things in the world but all they see is the clothes and makeup. Too many kids today think money makes you a better person. I have seen so many comments like "They are rich and you're just a poor nobody. You must be jealous! They are way better than you!" it is so sad :( Sorry but that is just crazy! I will never understand people who do that. Not only could they hurt themselves, but they could hurt or kill a totally innocent person. My phone is always in my person. The person can just wait until I get to where I am going. Maybe she thought the care packages would take some pressure off you? I don't know her, so I have no idea what her motives were. Sounds like she cares more about what strangers on Facebook think of her. How does she treat her other DIL? Ooh good tip! I am going to have to remember that if I get a cake. I see cake and get way too happy lmao! Oh I hate that! You should never be forced to "volunteer" for things. It just seems crazy. Something that should be fun just gets turned into a chore. Who wants to do chores? Not me! It doesn't help that wiki can be edited by anyone. Not sure why they made it that way. I tried to make sure Emily never used for school work. I use it just for superficial info about celebs and stuff, but never for anything important. I know that sometimes it is hard to come up with names, but some names are just really crazy! When I did my CWs I tried to come up with names that had something to do with the item, (ex. the two rainbow dresses have rainbow in the names.) 52 billion is insane! I can't imagine ever having that much. I am the same way and I hate it :( I always have to beg the doc not to give me large pills. Of course everyone thinks I am being so dramatic.

They can be expensive. I try to buy things in large amounts, like a big bag of cat litter or a bigger bag of food so it lasts a little longer. My local grocery store has a 10 pack of cat toys for $4, so I've bought a few of those because Zelda likes some of the toys. My hair was pretty curly when I was younger too, then it went straight, then wavy and now it's back to being somewhat curly. I used to cut my own bangs, but then it was a pain having to pin them out of my face. When I trim my hair, I try to take only an inch off. I also thin my hair out too whenever it really needs it. I agree. I follow Gary Sinise on social media because he really cares about veterans and makes sure they have access to what they need, plus his band performs at military bases. Mike Rowe has always tried to show people that blue collar jobs and jobs that are looked down on are still worthy jobs to have. Some people need to realize that having a lot of money doesn't make you a better person and it def doesn't bring happiness. I can't either. My phone is always on the center console when I'm driving. If I'm riding with someone and their phone is in the cup holder, I try to grab it first when it goes off. I don't think so. I was at a family event with the in-laws at the end of the first month Chris was overseas and I overheard my MIL telling people that she had just mailed a care package to Chris and she had filled it with a bunch of stuff. I honestly think she does care too much about what people on Facebook think of her because she'll brag about having sons in the military or about how great her husband is, etc. etc. I feel like she treats her other DIL better, for example, she gives her Christmas gifts that actually fit her interests. I've had to learn the hard way that the cake doesn't cut very well when its just come out of the freezer. You either come close to breaking a knife or your hand. Thing is we also had weekly chores, I think 3 or 4 chores for the week. If they weren't completed by the end of the week, we were punished with a harder chore like cleaning the bathroom floor with a toothbrush or some other ridiculous chore, while an active member watched to make sure it was completed. I worked with a student who never used it as a resource for his paper, but he was always on there reading things just to learn something new. I know, it's crazy that anyone can edit the entries. I edited on once because it had two words repeated in a sentence, like 'and the and the'. It bugged me so I fixed it. It makes sense to have some descriptive word of the item in the name. Makes it easier to find in the item directory when you can search for rainbow or boot instead of having to guess. It is insane. I don't think I'll ever have that much sP. If I ever did have that much, I would be going on a spending spree because I could afford to buy a lot of stuff. I did spend $5 today to have enough CSC to buy a 1 month GA, so that might help me make a little more sP. I think my trouble with swallowing pills stems from when I was prescribed medication in pill form when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. My parents were yelling at me to swallow the pill because we had to leave for parent-teacher conferences. I've just never had an easy time swallowing a pill since then and pretty much tried to get medicine in liquid form when possible. I've run into a predicament. The zapper has zapped my two zapper pets into spectrum and blacklight manchus. Now I don't want to zap them again.

I am hoping to get a kitten before the end of the summer fingers crossed I try to just cut the ends, but sometimes I get carried away lol. I remember not too long ago that people found out that Geoffrey Owens (from the Cosby show) was working in a grocery store, and people were acting like "oh that is such a shame" "the poor guy must be so broke" and treated him like he needed pity. He said he was fine and was just working to support his family like everyone else. Suddenly the acting jobs were getting tossed his way like he is a charity case. Why weren't they hiring him before?!?!? I can't believe adults can't wait for a phone call. That is just crazy to me. Most of the time it isn't that important. Even if it was, it still isn't worth the risk. That is a shame :( unfortunately I doubt she will ever change. Have you ever talked to the other DIL about it? I want cake lol Oh man I would not have lasted a month in that place! Lol Yeah I hate typos and stuff like that. I hate missing out on items because I can't find them :( I want to get all of the rainbowy type items. I wanted to get some csc this weekend, but no luck. I wish the bonus weekends were closer to the end of month. I just have this huge fear of choking. I know that no one in this house would be able to heimleck (no clue how to spell that!) me. Awe those are so cute! I would keep them both :P

I hope you can find one by then. I got Zelda by chance, he got left behind by his mother. I get a little carried away trying to get both sides even. I get them as close as I can and then quit because any unevenness would be hidden by the curls. If I straighten my hair then it might be more noticeable. Geez, do some people not realize that some celebrities try to still be normal people or that they aren't filming for a tv show or movie every single day? I looked it up and found an article about Mr. Owens. People tried to shame him for working a 'normal' job at Trader Joe's. Yeah, it bugs me whenever someone reaches for their phone while they are driving. If I have to answer the phone while driving, I automatically slow down and when I'm done with the call I just put my phone down. I doubt she will ever change either, which makes me nervous about how she's going to act about grandkids. I have a feeling that she will expect us to drive to her so she can see them and not put in the effort to visit. I haven't talked to the other DIL, we pretty much only talk when we are together at a holiday event. I don't think she has any issues with the MIL because she's only known her for 2 years compared to my 6+ years. I do too, but it's freezing cold outside and the roads are nasty, so I'd only make myself colder by eating ice cream cake. I am surprised I lasted as long as I did there. Each semester we had different roommates and had to change rooms. One of my roommates the last semester was taking a baking class and never ate the baked goods she brought back. We ended up having bugs in our room. She also had her boyfriend over a lot and one day I discovered she had closed the door to the room while she and her boyfriend were in there and they were messing around under a blanket. Big no no to close a door if a boy was in the room, so I told one of the officers, but don't know if anything was ever done. I do too. My eyes get stuck on it and I want to correct it. I also don't like when headings are bolded in a list. The regional basketball brackets were released last week and the online list of the games I found is a mess. Everything is the same size and the only that is bolded is a few of the teams. There are 4 or 5 different regionals, so it's a pain looking through the list to find my high school team. I want to get all the animals that can be added to an HA, but there are some many different things to search for, for that. 😢 I don't know how many I've found while exploring the item directory that I didn't even know existed. I knew I at least had enough money to get 500 csc. There are some other things I'd like to buy from the Cash Shop, but they aren't things I need right this moment and can wait. I have choked before, on jerky. I managed to cough it up, but it could have been worse. I was in a vehicle with my husband and brother-in-law so they would have had to find a place to pull over to help me. I'm very tempted to keep them because I've been wanting pets with both of those colors, just means I need a new zapper pet now but I don't want to spend 40 mil on a pet slot.

I see new stuff in the item directory!! Survival is about to start! Yay!!

I just caught a survival flower... it's started!

That is so sad, but it is great that you were able to give him a good home :D I figure my unevenness will be hidden by the fact that I always wear it in a ponytail. I know it was crazy! It was on the news like it was some tragic story or something. The guy was just trying to live his life! Same thing happened to one of those twins from The Suite life of Zack and Cody. I think it was Zack. He was working at a coffee shop and people were saying that he must have blown through his money and how he was stupid because he must be broke now. Instead of the fact that he just wanted a job like that. I just don't see why people do that ever! When that time comes you just have to put your foot down! If she gets upset, then that is too bad. Same :( there is still ice all over the ground. I was really hoping it would all start melting by now. Why in the world would she not eat the baked foods she made? Was she failing? lol. That would irritate me way too much! Yeah I hate it when lists and things are so confusing. Especially when you are looking for something specific and you have to search the whole thing. Oh I know! I am always finding items I never heard of and never would have thought of no matter how many times I search the lodge. I am still hoping they will open the pawn shop again. It needs to be open more than once a year. They would make so much more money if they did that. I choked on a piece of lettuce once. It was not pretty. Those slots get expensive.

Yay it started!!!

Are we going to have a Shark board? So much lag!!!!!

We probably should have a Sharkie board. Do you know how to make one? The lag is killing me, but I'm not surprised. All events have lag.

I have no idea. I never make boards. I figured it would happen, but I was hoping it wouldn't. I am still trying to get the wardrobe to work.

If the lag gets better, I'll make one. It can't be that hard, can it?

I am sure it isn't. I just get all nervous about doing stuff like that. I think it just has to have Shark Tank in the title and ping the group?

Yeah. I'll do something like Shark Tank: Kissing is Jawsome in the title and then ping everyone.

We'll probably need to list everyone's virus strain, too, in case someone needs a bite.

That sounds good :D I never get bitten lol I am a big baby!

I don't know how long he had been left alone, but I was outside and heard a crying kitten, then spent 20+ minutes coaxing him over to me 😊 Mine is hidden by a braid or a bun, but I do occasionally try to wear my hair down on the days it cooperates. Like today, my hair is actually sleek and sort of curly even though I went to bed with wet hair. It's really sad and pathetic that people think that 'famous' people can only do what made them famous for the rest of their lives and if they do something other than that, then all of the sudden they managed their money wrong. I'm sure some actors and actresses that started young probably enjoyed being in the spotlight less and less as they got older and prefer to have their privacy and a low-key job. I don't either but I guess some people are just so attached their phone that they don't stop to think about the consequences. That might be easier said than done and I'm sure she wouldn't be happy to be told that she needs to drive here to visit. And I'm pretty sure the other DIL is liked better than me as my mother-in-law wished both her and the middle son a happy first anniversary on both of their facebook accounts and in a separate post on her own Facebook account. MIL never did that for Chris and I's first anniversary and she def didn't mention anything on our second one. We had freezing mist here all day yesterday and then snow again last night. The sun is finally shining but I think the weather is supposed to be nasty again either tomorrow night or Tuesday night. Regional basketball tournaments start tomorrow and this weather may end up postponing the games. I'm ready for spring to get here. My dog has destroyed her third heated water bowl, so now I have to chisel I out of the dish with a hammer and screwdriver multiple times a day. I have no idea. I think she always intended to eat them but stuffed them under her desk or in her closet. She wasn't a tidy person by any means, her stuff was constantly overflowing to my side. I tripped over her stuff once and fell into the window, so I turned around and kicked her stuff back to her side. She also kept clothes in the trunk of her car because she didn't have room for everything in her closet. That's what this regional basketball list was. I was searching a wall of text for a specific team and I think I scrolled past it twice. I wanted to redo that list so bad to make it easier to find the different regional locations. I've found so many wearable animals by chance, most of them are CWs, but I never knew they existed until I explored the various CW shops to find things on my wishlist. It needs to be. I miss when it was open year round. I never bought much from it at that time because I hardly had any CSC spend or money to buy CSC, but now that I do it would be nice to buy CW that aren't really on the market anymore. It would also help get some of the old CW items out of the pawn shop too. A reason to not eat lettuce or salads, it fought back. It wasn't pretty when I choked on the jerky. I thought I chewed the piece small enough. I also have this problem when I'll swallow and inhale at the same time, most of the time it happens when I'm swallowing water. Leads to coughing and burning. They are. I bought one pet slot from the MC but I it will be a while before I buy another slot from there. I'll just have to wait.

That is so sad :( I bet he was so scared. I hate seeing little animals scared or in pain. It is a very rare occassion that I wear my hair down. It usually only happens if I don't have time to let my hair dry after I wash it. If my hair isn't almost totally. dry it is impossible for me to put it up. That is a lot better than the ones that try desparately to cling to fame even if they have to do really messed up stuff. Look at Lindsay Lohan :( that is very sad! I think that girl who played in Matilda walked away and has a great life now. The Olsen twins gave up acting and moved on to something they love. The best example to me is Mayim Bialik. She walked away for awhile and got all of those degrees! She is amazing :D No it wont be easy, but she has to realize that you guys are not going to spend the rest of your lives just making her happy. You need to be happy too! That is pretty sad. I thought the weather here was going to get better, but it is supposed to snow tonight. I am so sick of this yucky weather. I am ready for Spring too!! Does the dog live outside? Ugh that sounds so gross and nasty. Yikes I would hate to have to live like that. I have found a lot of new items on the boards. People will put items that they are looking for in their siggy and I put it on my WL because usually i had never even seen the item before. I know they wont open it back up permanently, but more than once a year would be great! I hate that it is around Christmas time. I need to buy rl presents. I would love to have more money to spend on CWs. I remember the last time someone in the news posted about how they grabbed a bunch of their friends "private" items out of the shop so no one else could buy them. Gee thanks! If it is in the pawn shop then it should be up for grabs for anyone to buy. They were probably on my WL :( In my opinion if a "private" item is in there then they should blame the person who pawned it, and let someone else have a chance to own it and love it. Rambling on lol but I just hate seeing so many items on my WL that are not available anywhere and I will never own them :( Lmao but I love salad so much! When I was a kid and had to be in the hospital I could order my own lunch. I ordered a salad as the main dish and then a side salad to go with it. I figured they couldn't make a salad taste bad! Ouch! I don't think there is anything scarier then not being able to breathe. I have gotten to the point where I just wait for my loyalty box. I am too poor for all the pets I want. Sorry if I babbled or missed anything. Woke up with a headache today :(

He was pretty scared but I could tell he was also interested in who this big thing was on two legs who was less scary than the pink four-legged creatures in the pen next to the barn. My hair takes hours to dry. I think past the 2-hour mark it's still damp. I've found it's easier to put my hair into a french braid when it's wet. It still gets tangled but it's easier to get the tangles out. I saw a commercial somewhere for Lindsay Lohan's new tv show, something about a club she opened? Not something I'd watch. Mara Wilson played Matilda and I know somewhere I had read that she didn't enjoy acting when she was younger. I looked at her IMDB page and she's still acting, but she didn't enjoy it when she was younger because got stuck looking cute and it messed up how she saw herself. And now Mayim's been on Big Bang Theory, where she's played a smart woman who pretty much knows what she wants. I haven't heard anything from the in-laws for over a month. They didn't wish me happy Valentine's day and they still haven't informed me about a time for the birthday lunch. It is quite sad, however, she has bragged on Facebook about her middle son more than she has about Chris. After her middle son became a police officer last year, she made this long post on Facebook about how happy she was that he finally got his dream job, and she knew she could do it because he's focused and driven, yadda, yadda, yadda. Never once has she done that for Chris. She always says she doesn't have a favorite son, she just has a favorite older son, favorite middle son, and favorite youngest insert eye roll. The sun has sort of been out today. If I look out one window, the sun is shining, if I look out a different window it's cloudy. The dog does live outside, the landlords don't want dogs in the house because they took care of their son's dog and it destroyed things inside. It was awful. I was so glad to be out of there. All the good people eventually ended up moving out. I've found items that way too! Having it open only once a year around Christmas isn't the best idea. I've gone broke before buying Christmas presents even though I thought I had kept an eye on what I spent. That's terrible and extremely selfish. What are they going to do with the CWs? Give it back to their friends? I have quite a few CWs on my wishlist that need a password to buy them from the CW shops, some of them are video game related and I've wanted them for years. I've tried salad once and discovered it wasn't for me because it had no taste, same with carrots. I think the textures also threw me off too. Whenever I inhale water, it always hurts to breathe afterward for a while, and it always happens when I'm around other people, so it seems like I'm just having some random coughing fit and gasping for air for no reason. I think that's what I'll end up doing. I want to use the loyalty box for a potion, but I have to figure out what to color my other pets first. No worries, it's not a big deal. My finger that I broke two years ago has been really painful today, so questing took me longer than usual and I'm typing slower too.

Glad you were able to convince him to let you take care of him :) My hair is a total pain to deal with when it is wet. That is why I hate washing it. Yeah I am not interested it in either. I think most people who would watch just want to see her be a trainwreck :( Oh I thought she quit, but I guess it is good if it makes her happy now. I love Amy. She is one of my faves on that show. Dang that seems so rude. Do you think they decided not to do the Bday lunch? It reminds me of the Goldbergs when Bev says that she does not have a fave, but you can clearly see that she does lol.

SPOILER (click to toggle)

We are getting hit with more snow right now. They aren't snowflakes though. It is more like tiny balls of snow. Making the roads a nightmare :( thankfully I am in for the night! I don't blame anyone for moving out of there. I know I would have! I know! I would spend more if it were at a better time of the year. Christmas in July sounds good :D I wonder if their friends even wanted them back? Did they have to give her the csc back? I would not be happy. I hate dealing with passwords. I hate the ones that have the item in their shop for some crazy price like 10,000 csc. I guess they want people to haggle or something and I am not into that at all. I love salad. Especially with ranch. It all depends on what you put on the salad. It is weird how certain injuries can still hurt us years later. When I was around 6 I stpped on a golf tee that was laying around in our garage and it went through my foot. To this day I still get a weird tightening pain there once in a while.
