Nice to see you back!!💗

I was ready for it to end but I know I'll be looking forward to it again soon.

Thank you so much! Yes I had a fun birthday! I still had to go run errands but my hubs grilled me some chicken and shrimp that were both delicious!! Not to mention being spoiled here by everyone.☺️

I am always searching through my vault, heh. For gifts for people (do I have anything on their wishlist in my vault?) or for contest prizes (what do I have extra of in my vault that's selling for high prices?) or other reasons (what food for my pet that she hasn't eaten yet do I have in my vault so she can battle and gain food points at the same time?)

oh cool happy birthday to you & glad it went well, the grill items sound very tasty

Thank you! My hubs really grills great! It's always yummy! Tomorrow he's making steak (I only ever eat one bite) and I'm making the shrimp in the air fryer as he bought smaller ones that would be too much work to grill. I hope you have a nice day!

Thank you thank you! How have you been? (:

Hi hi! It's been going good! We just came back from a family trip to see my grandmother for her 95th birthday. Let me tell you, 10-11 hours in a car with 2 kids under 6 is not for the weak 😂 How have you been?!

How have you beeeen? I'm trying to talk myself into doing quests again but ughhhhh.

- I'm with Truffula, the chicken and shrimp sound delicious. I wish my hubby would grill like yours does. My hubby won't even cook if the boy is too busy. He just pulls up Uber-Eats and orders dinner. facepalm

- I take it you dump your inventory into your vault all the time. I dump mine into my shop. So, there's only special items, like Shinwa items, tomes, or potions in my vault. Oh, and extra currency that I don't need. XD

- 95! Happy Birthday to your grandma! :) No, 10-11 hours in a car with any child is not for the weak. I admire the fact that you got through it relatively intact. 😂 I'm doing well. Celebrated my birthday over the weekend. Son made me Japanese chicken curry for dinner. It was really nice and relaxiing. :D

I've been good just more wrinkles! LOL I hate questing so bad too! I finally gave myself permission to not do very many of them. And I spent probably around 100 mil sP just to finish Item Hunt so I would feel guilty for skipping them anymore. Right now I do Shinwa and Quentin and weekend quests. Oh and Major Drills but those are more fun.

He grilled again! Today he made steak and more shrimp. I don't eat much beef but I had to taste it and it is the best steak I ever tasted! So delicious. (It's a T-bone) I think the reason my hubs is willing to grill is because he's now really good at it, but years ago I think he started grilling because I never used enough salt for his tastebuds. How is your 4th going? So far it's very quiet here which is strange as it's usually unbearable. But it's still only 4 here so I'm sure it will get loud later. Ugh!

I know! 95 is wild! It's truly crazy 😂 Oooo! I'm glad you had a great birthday with yummy food!

Oh my gosh 😂 Nooooo! But also same, I def have more wrinkles too 😂 I did all my quests today, well the ones that matter anyway. Battle and Drills can kiss my ass as far as I'm concerned. YAY! Congrats for finishing Item Hunt!!

air fryer shrimp sounds good, too. I had an OK day, wouldn't go to "great" but it wasn't bad either. the worst bit was neighbors setting off fireworks outside on the street just in front of my house making my cats nervous. Best part was finishing first draft of a thing I was writing.

as I told Diana just above, day was OK, not great, not bad ❤ I finished writing a draft of a thing and I had to deal with cats scared by fireworks but no really great or bad stuff that's all. it's hard to judge the quality of a day a lot of the time, they don't stand out too much either way usually heh

I do not dump my inventory at all, I move stuff out of it to various places and those do include vault and shops, but also donation and fragging happen pretty regularly too, it's depending on the thing!

You're too young to be getting wrinkles! 😘 I'm mostly over Battle quests as I did them non-stop for years but it did finally pay off! And every since Kristin told me you finished Item Hunt I was determined to finish it too. So glad they're done!

I hate fireworks with a passion! Although, since they made them illegal here they aren't as bad. We live near an Indian reservation so people go there and buy the really loud ones that scare the you know what out of me! Not to mention my dog. I can imagine how much they scare your poor little kitties! 😓 Congratulations on finishing the draft!

We match love your ha!

So much we have been super busy LOL fireworks, lakes, the works how bout you?

Changing faster than I can keep up :P

What's changing? Lol My HA? Love your new one!

yeah same kimono, very cool. love how you did the firework swirl stuff around your HA especially.

I actually like fireworks but don't like how scary they are for pets. I have no idea if these fireworks were legal or not - the neighbors who were setting them off aren't great respecters of the law lets just say

Ooof I understand about the kitties with fireworks ): Mine hid under my bed the whole night.

Bahahaha! I have a tiny bit under my eyes 😂 I need to keep doing BQ's >_< So I can fully finish training my pet. I'm not too far at least. It's a relief having it done, right? And we got a nice pretty achievement 😂

I know right? poor creatures, they do not understand why all the loud banging and get really scared.

- A good steak sounds good right about now. 😂 Maybe I'll push hubby to buy a grill. There must be some on sale somewhere. XD 100 million to finish Item Hunt? :O :O Did you get some spectacular prize? :o

- 10 - 11 hours up 95 means you passed right by me! Belatedly waves at you I'm glad you survived the trip😆 It doesn't get any better the older they get. ;)

- I dump. When my son does the quests, he dumps. I end up with stuff everywhere. I really wish I could see the pop-up that you guys see that tells you the value of something BEFORE you buy it. I have to hand check everything because my screen reader doesn't see the pop-up. XD

I don't mind pretty fireworks, I just hate the loud ones. Especially the loud and unexpected ones. I did look and found out they're 100% illegal here but there were a lot going off Friday night.

I looked and your pet is so close! I don't care that much about achievements. Lol Was just glad to have it finished.

Grilling takes some skill with a bit of a learning curve but your husband could watch some YouTube videos to speed up the learning process. The 100 million sp was spent over about a 3 month period. And that's only for levels 95 - 100. I could only get my courage up to do one every few weeks or so. The very last one was a 35 mil sp.😳 And a couple 20 mil sp items before that one. I did get this when I finished:

- I think I'll nudge the youngin' to give grilling a try. He really is the cook in the family. Plus, if he starts in on it the hubby may feel that he has to teach the youngin' since it's the man that grills...rolls eyeballs 😂 Well, I'm not that eager to lose 100m right now So I guess I'll just keep farming it for the red rreign plushie. ;) :D

That's a great idea and I hope your son will give it a try! My husband likes Weber grills and that's what he's using now. They only last about 5-8 years I think. And yes maybe it will stir up some interest in your husband. If you get a grill I can give you some of my husbands tips. He really is good at it and makes the best steaks!

You can do one quest every few months. I waited until I knew I could spare 20 mil sp each for the final 5 or 6 quests. Like I said it took me about 3 months. My plan was to wait until they had all of the Cash Shop items on sale in the Cash Shop but I got impatient.

Uh its an old sp item its got firework in the name too

Another really pretty one!

You're so sweet! TY!💖
