True, but he's antisocial and spent most of last christmas sitting on the couch and not talking to matt or his fiancee.

When I was younger we would all watch one person open their present and so they would have all of the attention on them sort of thing (it made opening presents a lot longer but it was an experience but you also knew what everyone else got and be happy when it was what they wanted) his family just open their presents all at once and dont pay attention to the other people and the like

Maybe it is best to just have holidays together and taking short daytrips to visit?

That sounds like chaos. We took turns in my family, too. My dad would pass them out in turns, sometimes one for me and my brother at the same time, but it was never like... free for all. When we go up to the farm, its the same thing. Lee and Catherine will get to open things at the same time, as will the other set of older twins, but for the most part its turns and paying attention, holding up and giving a thank you or a thankyou hug... etc

yeah that works well for 2 kids but when you were my mum with 6 kids it would turn into a free for all soon if we did it that way but we really genuinely enjoyed watching the others open their gifts. It was my job to hand out the presents when I was old enough to keep me entertained (since the other kids had a lot longer attention span than I did really)

I hope i can get around ^^ Thanks though ❤

I was going to boast how well i did with my savings this week, then i saw the news post about the MC and blew 10mil on a TC card i needed to get closer to completion :p Woopsie.

, congratulations!!!

, I'd say doing good on the goal progress! One outta three ain't bad, and getting those last 500 shouldn't be...TOO bad?

Man, you guys are all prepped for the holidays, and here I am, COMPLETELY forgot it was Fireside.

EDIT: I burned ALL my duplicated RR items (almost 300!) and I'm still missing two of the wears. :x not cool subeta. waits for prices to deflate

What two are you missing? And wow, that's some shitty luck.

Weekend special is Cursed

And... FIRE SIDE HAS STARTED! YAY! BURN! FIRE! YAAAY!!!!

[edit]

Cursed Effigy in the battle col has also had its wins reset so you can go battle for easy amulets. But not the harder one you can't heal against. The prick is still evil.

, hair tie and fur lined boots. I've got everything else though, so I'll just keep burning the floaters I get until either I get them, or they deflate a bunch. I'm just more annoyed at losing my entire backup stash, but I shall use this as an opportunity to refill it! :)

Question, are the sPreminder pings going out right? I joined the group maybe a week or so ago, but i haven't gotten a single ping from it... Is it just me?

ENOUGH COMPLAINING FROM ME. How are you doing? Staying warm?

I'm impressed by how large your backup stash was. Hopefully you'll get it before the end of fireside, and I'll keep an eye out too.

The ping group is meant to be request to join, and... I didn't get notifications of people wanting to join. I just checked, and... you've now been accepted. Really sorry about that. :/ You should start seeing the pings normally now. (Way to go, subeta!)

It's heading towards summer here, so late night we actually had the sliding doors in our bedroom opened a little to get a cool breeze in

, it's my hoarding complex, and because they were event items I didn't sell them in my mass clear out. I've got HUNDREDS of pumpkins too (not as much as I would like, but maybe around 500?).

Oh! Just got the acceptance, thank you! :) Now I won't have to worry about missing out on the ruffie raffles every day. :P

Oooo, nice! Sorry for going all America-centric on you, unfortunately I can be very narrowminded like that at times. I'm sure you've told me and I've forgotten, but can you please remind me as to where you are again? (just in generalities, of course!)

500's still a decent amount of pumpkins. Never know when they'll come in handy. Fantine's supposed to be back this year, isnt she?

Sorry again about that - well, sorry on behalf of subeta. I wonder if since Hope is the group creator, if she's getting the acceptance requests for the groups, though... before the groups were changed around, I know I used to get the requests as well. It's weird, and screwy. I should go check the other groups if people are waiting to get in... Bugger subeta.

No worries! I'm jealous of everyone else (seemingly everyone else) getting colder and getting snow. My parents showed me photos of the lawn back at home in the states of how the yard's getting dusting of snow already. And my kids saw the photos and are like "SO MUCH SNOW!" and I told them "no.. that's nothing". I live in New Zealand, currently. :) Where we are onthe north island by the coast, we dont get snow, even if the rest of the damn country gets it. But, we have ocean and pretty coastline at least.

i whacked my head on the window. it hurts. so much hurt. go back to bed dakota. ok me.

-poofs-

Sleep is one of the worst things to do for hitting your head, silly <3

yeaaaaah true but im fine, i think i bruised my skull tho.

Weekend special is Cursed

( did you get the ping this time?)

You doing better now?

lee bumped it earlier ;___; cries.

Accidentally, or intentionally?

well he meant for it to be cute by resting his forehead on mine but yeah xD intentionally an accident?

thumbs up for both of you Shaun and I do shit like that to each other pretty often, too.

twins

, yes, I got it! Thank you! :)

Oceans and pretty coastlines or snow....ouch, that is a tough choice! :P Have your kids been around snow before? Or is it a situation where they just MISS it?

Hooray! Did you get something from the raffle you needed?

They've been around snow once before, but only an inch or so, when we visited the states in april a few years back. Here in NZ, no snow though. My mom's pointed out many times that if we lived back in the states with them, we'd have the coast and snow.
