And I see still no one has figured out how to unlock the new opponent. Edit: OK I see it's been worked out how to get Kain. Not that it does any good, my top pet can't beat him even once.

I was looking for the solution, but can't figure it out and some people are saying it didn't work for them. Something about sending him bugs? Not sure what that means. Like in a gift box or something?

Edit I finally got him as an opponent :D

Yeah I had to go to the battle forums to find out and sent bugs in separate boxes but they have to all be in the same box. Didn't do any good though since my top pet can't beat him even once. Darn.

I just never want to be around him at all. I always dread going to the in-laws because I'll know I'll be there for 2+ hours and I can't stand to be around that kid for that long. He thinks he can take on his brothers and win, but they are twice to three times his size, so he always ends up crying. And that's another thing, he cries a lot because he thinks that will help him get out of doing something. My husband, his middle brother and I were helping the kid practice for a baseball game one day. The kid doesn't run fast or leave the base quickly so we were having him run bases. He ended up crying and throwing a hissy fit because he wanted to stop and it wasn't fun. He learned a life lesson that day.

I love caramel 😀 I just have to be careful about how much I eat because years ago I ended up with a delayed allergic reaction that may have been caused by eating too many caramels....I'll never know. I like cheesecake but it always ends up making my stomach hurt. The best cheesecake I had was at an Irish pub, it was a cheesecake made with Bailey's.

Sometimes I can find some neat things in Shopko, but most of the time, I'm disappointed because the local store doesn't carry everything that's listed in the sales flyers. Since I live in a fairly rural area, I don't have many shopping options. I have to go to a bigger city for a wider selection.

I saw something about a live action Aladdin, but didn't really look into it because I haven't watched the original Aladdin. A live action Dumbo or Lady and the Tramp will be heavily CGI focused, I feel. I rewatched 102 Dalmatians a couple weeks ago and I was able to pick up where they switched to CGI dogs. I agree, they are running out of ideas and doing too many remakes (of any movie), but I think they realized that the live action films have some success after Beauty and the Beast.

I pre-ordered Kingdom Hearts 3 yesterday. I had to drive an hour to pick up Fallout 76 at Gamestop because they refused to let my mom pick it up (she paid for it but her name isn't on my account, she bought it for my nephew because he wants to give it to his parents for Xmas) and the employee wouldn't even allow my mom to call me so I could verify. So I had to go pick up the game after working for 9 hours and being in pain for most of the day (I hate aunt flo). I ended up talking to one of the managers because he was jealous that I would play the game before he could, so I explained what happened. Then I snooped around the store, he asked if I was Christmas shopping or if I was done with all of that, to which I replied and hadn't started and possibly wouldn't since hubby is deployed. I found a few things and the other employee had overheard that my husband is deployed so he gave me the military discount and then checked to see if I had received the discount on the pre-order, which I hadn't. So he refunded me that amount, but since I didn't have the card it was paid with, I could only put it towards a pre-order, so I put it towards KH3. I just have to finish the other ones....and Red Dead Redemption 2...and Assassin's Creed Origin.....and Assassin's Creed Odyssey......I have a lot of games to finish.

I ended up buying everything from the prize shop, but I might sell one or two of the minions later. I've only gotten 3 minion zaps, but got the same minion twice, the Sharptooth Brightfin. I also got a Snevens.

I had a scare today (white smoke, almost fire) incident. I'm ok but it unnerved me. I don't want to talk about it much... plan on watching a movie to unwind.

Take care all

I didn't know they all had to be in the same box to get it to work. I just tossed em all in the same box because I am cheap and lazy lol! I got the plushie and the hammer looking weapon, but I am not sure if I want to keep or sell. The hammer is tier 10. I guess I should try it out before trying to decide, or see what they are saying about it in the forums. I am terrible when it comes to deciding on keeping/selling weapons.

I would avoid dealing with him too, so I don't blame you at all! A Bailey's cheesecake sounds soooooooooo good! I thought Beauty and the Beast was good but not great. At least it was better than Cinderella. That was a snoozefest. I only took Emily because she wanted to see the Frozen cartoon before the movie lol! Sounds so annoying :( sorry you had to deal with all that. We got the new reignited (sp?) Spyro trilogy Monday night :D Gamestop was giving them out a day early. We had to go in at 6 and get a number to go back at 9 and pick it up. I had never picked up a game on release day so i was all nervous. I thought it would be chaos. There were about 7 of us there to pick up the game lmao! Emily got the Spyro keychain. She was so excited! We had already gotten the lego Spyro (nightmare to put together and she still has "spare" pieces) so I didn't think she would get the keychain too. I am so glad I was wrong. She really wanted it.

Hope all is better now.

Kindof... have to inform landlord, the time to write a letter, stress, etc. sigh. Not a fun situation to be in, but at least the stove is working & no one was hurt.

I didn't know they had to be in the same box either. I sent them separate at first then saw someone post all the bugs had to be in 1 box. But none of my pets are good enough to beat him even once so guess it didn't really matter.

Informing the landlord of anything is never any fun. Hope it works out for you Hun. Happy that no one was hurt :)

I wasn't expecting him to be that strong either. I think he is the toughest one so far.

My helper that cleans & cooks for me was there. It unnerved the both of us. We dealt with the immediate situation but I was so unraveled that I called my father to figure out what to do next. I needed to have my food cooked & within the time the helper was there. We managed to function afterward but both of us were on edge the whole time. It's also why I don't want to get into a lot of details, the more I describe it, the more I relive it. I just want to try and unwind. Thought today's outing would help... but we went to a mega book fair & there was a HUGE amount of kids. I'm not familiar with this as we didn't have the big book fairs at the schools I went to... so I wasn't expecting a massive invasion of kids swarming everywhere :o It was very challenging for me to withstand, hypersensitivity nightmare and I had my earplugs on. I survived but I should have followed my gut and just gone home. So... I'm now trying to unwind, but wrote draft letter for landlord and having my father look at it when he can. I really really really hope I get accepted into the residence I applied at. Interviews were supposed to be over by mid-October and they haven't even started for my group. They need to find someone that specializes (has a degree) in autism; however, they want the person to be a volunteer... sometimes you can't get everything for free x.x The residence is supposed to be finished April 1st... but it's construction so anything can happen. I also don't want to move before May because I'd lose my personal garden that I've planted garlic & other plants in. It would be the last year I'd have it if I move but at least I'd have it for 1 more year. Trying to save money to move, that's another headache. With all the financial emergencies I had to deal with, I had to run my account pretty low. I'm managing to put some money aside but moving costs a lot and I also need to have enough for double rent (both places) for a month in case it's required. Also, legally I have to give 2 months notice min to break the lease if I'm accepted into the subsidized residence. So, we'll need to know if we're accepted January at the latest.

I intended to go to a meeting last night to question the Christmas dinner. One of the organizations I'm with (Circle des Fermieres)... mostly old women doing traditional crafts (I'm learning knitting there)... has a yearly Christmas dinner. However, it's catered & mega expensive $28/member and the organization pays more than half the costs so it's a $60 finger food feast. Some members told me last year they weren't going because it was too expensive. Last night they were deciding amongst a bunch of other things what this year's party will be. I'm one of the rare ones that speak out... but with the chaos that occurred at home, I chose to stay home. If the ladies with higher revenue ruled the night (like they normally do) and they increased the fees (because some mentioned it would most likely happen) well I'll just not go. I have a bunch of other Christmas parties to attend and the others are free!

Dad just finished proofreading my letter, sigh. I better check it out. I'll look into watching a movie to cheer me up after :D

Yeah book fairs can get a little crazy! I have only been to one and I decided never to do it again. Is this going to be your last move? Can you have a garden at the new place? Not sure if they are going to get a volunteer. Usually someone who goes to the trouble (and expensive) of getting a degree for something wants to be paid. I don't blame them. Paying for a Christmas party? I could never do that. I would deff skip it and use the money for my own family and our holiday! Pick a cute, funny movie. That usually makes me feel better.

If they go to a book fair another year, I'll pass.

If I get accepted into the residence, it would be a long-term move. I wouldn't say "last" as you never know what life has planned, but it would hopefully be for many years.

I could try to join another community garden closer to the new place... but the one I'm at here is really nice & I like the people. Unfortunately, if I move out of the sector I can't be part of it following years. Although, I might be able to visit the people from time to time ;)

I just got an email indicating they raised the fee to $30 this year and hoping for a great turnout. The rich ladies got what they wanted... well let them have their party and I just won't go. It's become a rich people's club... which is in total contrast to what it was originally.

I watched Ocean 8, liked it :)

What happened last night? I couldn't do quests because every time I tried to buy something I got errors and I tried posting here several times and each time it brought up a locked topic about profile help. Hope it's working today.

I hate moving. The whole idea of packing/unpacking is way too much work for me. You never realize how much stuff you have until you try to move all of it at once. It always stinks to move to a new area and try to make new connections with people. Hopefully you can find a new garden with people who are just as nice. $30 per person? That is crazy! They would have to count me out. I would rather rent a hall and have everyone do a potluck type dinner. The whole point is for people to get together and have a fun, but they can't do that if they can't even afford to go :(

I must have missed it, so I have no idea. It seems to be working today.

I hate to think how he is going to act once my husband comes home and we surprise his parents. That may be the time that I lose it and go off on him. I've held my tongue to far, but I'll lose it if he ruins the day my husband comes home. I should probably ask hubby if we should just get a hotel that night instead of staying with his parents.

It was soooo good! It was the smoothest tasting cheesecake I've ever had and it didn't anger my stomach either. My husband and I shared a piece because this pub gives you a decent amount of food and we were both sort of full. I don't know how often they make it because it seems to be a special dessert they make.

I have yet to watch the live action Cinderella. I own it, thanks to the decent sales Hastings had when they went out of business. I like Beauty and the Beast but I didn't enjoy the heavy CGI-ness of it. That's probably why I don't watch The Hobbit as often as I watch the LOTR trilogy, because they relied more on CGI in The Hobbit.

I was more than annoyed, I was quite pissed that I had to make that drive after work. My mom has decided she will never set foot in a Gamestop again and she will just buy games elsewhere as gifts. I have picked up 4 games on release day and been in Gamestop on the release day for AC Odyssey. Only once was it packed and that was for the release of Destiny 2 (which has kinda turned in to a major letdown). I picked up Dragon Age Inquisition on release day, I thought the store would be packed but there was only one other person there to pick up the game at 9 in the morning. That's great that Emily got the other keychain. The Gamestop that I frequent has a few great employees that go above and beyond what they should. One spent 5 minutes looking to see if there were any leftover Gamestop pre-order exclusives, then apologized when he didn't find any. Back in September, I happened to be in Gamestop the day that the Forsaken DLC released for Destiny 2 and I noticed they still had card decks that were the exclusive for the pre-order and they gave me one, which I didn't expect them to do.

I hate it when LEGO stuff is difficult to put together. My husband and I, along with his middle brother, ended up putting together a Star Wars LEGO set for his youngest brother because even though he was old enough to follow instructions, he failed to put in the effort. Then he threw a fit when we were taking apart everything he had put together because it wasn't together right, then he tried to help and made it fall apart....😒

No idea what happened when you were on. Hope it's working well with you tonight.

I've moved several times... never fun but it's doable. I think of the end goal rather than the craziness of packing. I also try to focus on one box at a time rather than look at the whole which can be intimidating. It's also a good motivation to reduce before you move.

IF (big if) I get selected for the residency, I'd already know some of the autistic folks. Some that have applied I do activities with them. There's one I hope doesn't get selected... don't want to sound mean but she tends to behave in a superior way and isn't nice to people that are less functioning/communicative than her. There's a bunch of other reasons too, but I don't want to get into it. I can get along/tolerate her; but, I've seen her be mean to someone I appreciate and it upset me. Then there's someone I really hope gets in because I find him the ideal candidate. He's sweet, gentle, doesn't communicate much but listens and does pay attention... and I find has a calming effect on me when I hang out beside him. Another one that could be fun is a guy that loves to laugh, makes things more fun :D

There are other gardens but sometimes waiting lists are long and many are not as well maintained. The president of this one puts a lot of time into making sure things go well. The admin council put a lot of effort into making the place pretty... we even have a gazebo with various grape vines. Although I wouldn't be able to continue gardening, gardeners can bring guests... so I can become a regular guest :P

Yeah, the ladies that have bigger revenues dominate & intimidate. The worst part is they whine that there isn't a big turn out XD I'm dealing with too much anxiety so I've chosen to not fight this battle. They want an expensive & exclusive dinner... fine. I ain't going! I have at least 5 Christmas events to go to and they're all free :D

Waves :)

Forgot to thank anon: Thanks for fire extinguisher :D I'm actually going to see a fire station tomorrow, activity with a group I'm with ^^

Alrightie, I'm going to look up another movie.

I was hoping Fireside would start this weekend since it says mid November and we're more than halfway.

You should get a hotel room and surprise him with it. It would probably be good for both of you!

Of course! That is the way it usually works. When something is super yummy you can rarely get it lol. They get you hooked and then take it away!

The beginning of Cinderella dragged and then after that it was basically paint by numbers by the book. If you know what happens, it drags the movie down for me. I still haven't seen the Hobbit. I keep meaning to though. I might get around to it someday.

Sometimes it is easier to order everything online. It is nice when you can find employees who care about the customer. There should be more people like that!

Ugh I am sorry, but I could not deal with him at all. I don't have any patience for people like that. I have to save all of my patience for Emily!

Thought I had time to write, but Emily is having issues with her Spyro game. BBS to edit this lol

No worries, I wasn't even up when you wrote ;) Going to the fire station this morning, should be an interesting visit with the group.

We had our first snow storm... not a massive amount of snow but it's raining now so it can turn to ice. At least I have ice picks I can use for my canes.

They did massive updates/changes to the site not long ago. They're also preparing for Black Friday... so Fireside might need to wait a bit.

That's what I thought but the holiday schedule says mid November to end of November so if it starts late we won't have as much time. Guess that's not a big deal since it's not a big holiday any way. Just wanted to wear my Fireside HA. ;)
