You just have to watch out for the shows and movies they rotate out monthly. I liked Netflix better before they started released their own movies and tv shows, now Netflix's stuff clutters up my main screen when I'm trying to find something. But there are plenty of shows on there. I need to start watching Supernatural again from the start. I have and I ended up with a list. It was maybe Harvest or Storm but honestly there are quite a few that caught my eye. I am glad that they added the pet color viewer thing to the site though. Now I don't have to go to Subetalodge to view pet colors. It is really beautiful, I was sad to leave. The Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry is a really beautiful spot. I went there on a faculty led study tour in college and we also went to England and Scotland. Scotland is really pretty too but we were only in Scotland for a full day so I didn't see much. I'd love to go back and be able to spend more time in the places I really want to see. I have three older gaming systems and I'll never part with them. Just wish it was easier to find games for the systems and that they didn't break the bank. There are people who are trying to sell Mario games for the gamecube for over $100 o.O I always find PS2 games at thrift stores but it's always the sports games, never anything interesting. You're welcome! ❤ It is, I just forget to dress mine up more often, but I think that's due to how long it takes me to put an outfit together on here.

Good luck! I hope you get one of the apartments as well!

Well that's not good :( do they tell you which ones will be gone? I am not really interested in any of the Netflix stuff except for the Fullmetal movie. I barely use it since I only get one new pet every year. Other then that I just watch the news posts for new colors and revamps. I am still waiting for a spectrum blob! I know I am going to want one. I already have the potion for it. yeah it is hard when it is a tour. You have to go along with the group and they control what you see and how long you stay in one spot. I want to be able to casually walk around at my own pace. I hate when people really jack up the prices for things. We are not interested in any of the sports games either. I need to go through and use some of my older items. I can't even remember what all is in there.

I've never looked to see if Netflix tells you anywhere what's leaving, but I know there are some websites or blogs that list out everything that Netflix is taking off at the end of the month and what they are adding during the next month. Some of the shows and movies they remove are added back later because I've had some stuff reappear on my watchlist. And different countries get a different selection of movies and shows to watch. I haven't used it yet, but it is nice to have the feature on site. The blobs are pretty cute, maybe that can be my next pet, or a neela. I think I have a graveyard potion in my vault and I've got about 10 nostalgic sets that I want to use. I should probably get more pet slots so I can use them. Yeah, we had a 3 week itinerary that had room for a few changes, but not many. It was an equine trip, so we were touring various horse facilities. We spent over a week in and around London, with 2 free days. We had a free day when we landed because it took longer than expected to get through customs. Everyone else went out and explored, I crawled in bed and slept. Didn't have any jet lag to deal with the next day and i had an easier transition into the different time zone. The other free day we had was after a city bus tour. I went off with tour others from the group and we rode horses through Hyde Park then rode the tube to Westminster Abbey and sat through a church service so that we could see inside (it had already closed to tourists for the day). I never rode the London Eye even though our hotel was right next to it along the Thames. We had a free evening in Liverpool, and half a day at Edinburgh after our walking tour of the city. I explored Edinburgh Castle and then walked the Royal Mile with friends.....and got hit on by a street performer. We had a few free days in Dublin, one free day in Galway (I bought my ring there), and another free evening in Killarney (pub-hopped to find live music, then found ourselves in a club where the bouncer wanted me to stay outside with him). I'd love to go back with Chris and just be able to explore the places that we want to see, have a lazy day if we want one and not be rushed around. I found a used game kiosk in one of the El Paso malls that had games for every system. I found the games that I've been wanting for years but they were all overpriced. I think they had some Mario games that they wanted close to $200 for, which they never sell for that much online. My Mario Party 7 game stopped working, and I wanted to buy a replacement, but not for $90. I ended up fixing the disc myself later. The only sports games I've played have been basketball and football on the Dreamcast. I wasn't really interested in the football, but I enjoyed playing the basketball game, but I'm not going to go out and buy one of the newer sports games just to play it. Once I get all the tiers of the Filled Wardrobe ach., I plan to go through and purge my wardrobe. It means my shop will be full for awhile and will be a pain to reprice, but it should be easier to find things in there. I have 7 tiers left to get on that ach. My kitchen smells like bacon. I put some bacon in the oven while I did dishes this morning so I can have a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for lunch.

I will have to look around and see what I can find out. Not sure we will have netflix after this month though, I really love the blobs! They are all so cute ;D Sounds exhausting. I would deff go back for a more relaxing and laid back trip! I think Ireland is the one place I would love to go to, Dang that is crazy! I can't believe anyone would even try to charge that much. I wonder if he actually sold any. I will never have all the tiers. I just hate having that much stuff in my wardrobe, It already feels too cluttered. I wish mine smelled like bacon lmao!

I need to get around to watching movies that are on my list, because there were some movies that I wanted to watch but they were removed from Netflix this month. I think Love, Actually was one of the movies that had been removed. It's always a bummer when I discover that something's been removed. They are cute and their plushies and beanbags are cuter. Maybe I'll turn my first experiment pet into a blob, he's a giraffe right now (a Scribble Experiment 911) and I think he's pretty cute but he needs a different name. It was fairly exhausting. We had to be up and on the coach (our driver didn't want it called a bus) by 7 am, 7:30 at the latest, so we had to get up early and eat breakfast. I had actually injured my knee a few days prior to leaving for trip, so walking wasn't fun for the first few days. It was fun, but I would have enjoyed spending more time in some of the towns, like Liverpool, Coventry and Edinburgh. Ireland is beautiful, but I didn't see much of it, besides a few towns, a couple pubs, the Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry. My grandmother's grandfather or great-grandfather is from Ireland and I still have some relation over there. I've never met them but one of my uncles has.

SPOILER (click to toggle)
This is a picture I took at Ladies View in the Ring of Kerry. The Queen has said it has the prettiest views in the country. While I was looking through the games, there was a guy sitting on the floor looking through all the Gamecube games and he had a small pile going. I don't know if he bought any of the games because I left after seeing how outrageous the prices were. I don't like having that much in my wardrobe either, but I want the rewards that go with some of the tiers. I've had a pound of bacon in the fridge for a few days and finally convinced myself to bake some in the oven. I still have some left but I ran out of bread and I only have two eggs left. Wish the roads would dry up some so I can run and get a few groceries. I stayed up until 5 am this morning, reading a book that I just couldn't put down until I finished it. It's called From Notting Hill With Love Actually. I enjoyed it enough that I'll reread it.

Awe that is a great movie! Have you seen Unconditional Love? It is one of my faves! I should see if it is on Netflix, So many cute pets and so few slots! lol I am sure I have relatives there too, but I have no clue who they are. Oh wow that pic is so beautiful! I really want to go there now! I would have left too. I hate when people overcharge for things. I need to check out what some of the rewards are. I want items though not just forum titles. Not really interested in those. Our roads are horrible right now. We didn't have snow all winter and now we are being slammed with it! Sounds like a mash up of two movies lol (Notting Hill and Love, Actually)

I haven't watched it yet. I was planning on watching it a few nights ago, then discovered it's no longer on Netflix. I have not watched that movie. I'll admit that there are quite a few movies that I haven't seen because I didn't really start watching a lot of movies until I went to college. I know. I went through the nostalgic kits that I have and put the ones that I don't want in my shop. Still leaves me with 6 of them though. I need to get back into researching my family history. There's one surname that originates in England, but my grandmother told me he family is Irish and Scottish. It is a very pretty place and it's really beautiful when there's a fog setting in. I really wish I had been able to see more of Scotland than just the Edinburgh and the area around the city. The gaming systems were priced at about where I've seen them priced, but I wonder just how long some of the games sit on the shelves.....or if they even still have the kiosk at the mall. I do too, especially when it's a thrift store or antique store, however if I find something I have at an antique store I can put a value to it. Yes! I'm tired of all ach. lately just giving a forum title. I don't care for most of the forum titles that I have, yet I have so many now that I have to scroll just to find the one I want. My roads are starting to dry out but because my pickup has had to sit outside for 2 weeks in all the bad weather, I now have corrosion on one of the battery lines. So my pickup is taking its sweet time to start. It is, because the main character loves movies, especially if it has Hugh Grant or is a romance. She and her father have a business that supplies popcorn machines to movie theaters and her fiance owns a string of movie theaters. She's never met her mother but knows her mother loved movies too. She tends to daydream that she's in a movie or is accepting an award from her favorite actor. She isn't happy in her relationship anymore, so she goes to Notting Hill in London for a month to house sit, makes new friends and eventually falls in love with her neighbor as he helps her search for her mother. I didn't get the other two books ordered yesterday because I was working on my kitchen, but I'll try to get them ordered today (and then try to not stay up all night reading again).

Kathy Bates and Meredith Eaton are amazing in that movie! I tried to find it too :( I never seem to sell those things for some reason! I blew all my csc on that dang new chance machine. I didn't get anything I wanted and now all that stuff is going to sit in my shop and rot! Hopefully we will both get to explore and enjoy that part of the world one day! I would have to take a boat though. No flying for me lol. To be honest I actually forget about the forum titles. I never change mine. I probably should change it for the events, but like I said I never even think of it. It is a miracle I remember to change the site theme. I need to go to the store today so I am really hoping the roads are better than yesterday. I just worry that since it is the weekend they haven't done much out there. Ahh that makes sense now! It sounds like a great book :D

Meredith Eaton is in the new McGuyver and she does a great job on that show. I might have to add that movie to my list. I really wish Netflix didn't put so many of their own produced shows and movies on there.....makes it so much harder to find the good stuff. I sell them every now and then but I do have quite a few potions that have been sitting in my shop for a few months. I've got extra costume trunk items from the Black Friday sale and Lumi sitting in my shop too. I've only sold 2 of them but that doesn't even put a dent into what's in there....all due to me not checking how few items I needed from each trunk. facepalm I think Chris is sort of interested in living abroad, but I don't know when or if that would even happen. I would love to live abroad in the UK or Ireland, but then I'm afraid I would never want to leave. But I do hope to revisit while I'm still young. I rarely change mine. I think I have 5 that I like, the rest are cool but at the same time a little weird. I still have my theme set to the Lumi one. There really needs to be a Survival or spring theme. I need to go to the store at some point too, I've been eating chips for the past few days. Finally got some chicken nuggets and cheese and broccoli fries (don't know how good those will taste) that I can throw in the oven tonight to make for supper. My roads weren't too bad but the roads over by my parents were slopping.....I drifted around a corner. It was a really good book. I typically don't read romance type books, but I really enjoyed this one. I was internally yelling at the lead to quit being so oblivious that she's in love with her neighbor and that she needs to realize that she would never be happy with her fiance. It's not very often that I do that. I just ordered the other two books tonight from Thriftbooks, they were $3.79 to $4.19. Then I grabbed one other book on my wishlist because I was a few dollars away from free shipping.....then I save a little over a dollar because the Honey add-on found a coupon code.

Yes! I don't want to dig through their stuff. I want to watch some older movies that I don't own :( I end up buying a lot of stuff I don't end up needing. Espeially during the sale. Oh geeze can you imagine how his mom would react to THAT?!?!? I don't even want to think about it lol. I bought some chips :D They were buy one bag get one free! That is my excuse for buying them. Those fries sound interesting. Let me know how they taste! I usually only read SW books and other scifi books.

It gets so annoying having to skip over their stuff, and now they have their stuff in bigger boxes to make it more obvious. I understand they have made some decent shows, but I don't continue to pay each month to specifically watch what they make. I mostly use it to keep up with TV shows and watch movies that look interesting. I watched Defiance, Archangel and Dream House on Netflix (all star Daniel Craig), and I thought they were all really good movies. Dream House plays with your mind, but it's no longer on Netflix 😢 I bought one costume trunk because it was cheaper to buy the trunk than the individual items I needed, but I need to go through the costume trunks I have wishlisted and just add the specific items I want to my wishlist. There were some things I was going to buy during the BF sale but I couldn't find them in the Cash Shop. She wouldn't be happy, I know that for sure. But then she would probably expect weekly video chats so that she could brag about it on Facebook (she did that on Sunday) I'm pretty sure she isn't happy that Chris and his middle brother no longer live 5 minutes away so she can't see them every day or multiple times a week anymore. I love it when stuff if buy one get one free at the grocery store! Eliminates me having to choose between two different kinds of chips. The fries were certainly interesting. They didn't taste too bad but they can only be baked in the oven, so they were still soft and mushy inside. I don't know if I liked them enough to buy another bag. I mainly read fantasy and maybe some historical fiction. Maybe my interest in romance type books is spurred by the fact that Chris has been gone for almost a year and I really miss him. Chris is the one who reads Star Wars books, but only in ebook form.

I hope you hear good news!

Congrats on the new pet.

I guess they figure their stuff is so amazing it will keep people interested. I have noticed lately they are starting to make a lot of live action movies and shows of old animes. Not very original if you ask me. I need to redo my WL. It is weird how I will find some things when I am shopping and the item has been on my WL so long I can;t even remember why I wanted the item in the first place lol. I need to go through and take off stuff that I am no longer interested in. Oh well. Her sons need their own lives. It sounds like the youngest one will have to keep her company. If he doesn't change, I don't see him living on his own any time soon anyway! I have only found one kind of fry that is good in the oven. I am not sure of the name but they are crispy steak fries I think. They come out of the oven crispy and delicious! I love collecting the SW books. I was trying to get all of them for a while, but right now I have to spend that money on other things :(

That's why I keep a low amount of pets. They all get personal attention and extra attention for specific categories. Poukie & Princess get more books for more AP but Poukie hogs the most books. They all battle but Poukie does BQ. Princess just beat Ice King a 5th time a few hours ago :D Kleenex has her happy gallery. The others I'm developing but 010 definitely will be security blankets and night lights ;)

I have them because I like the art and the names :) Talon is my battle pet so he gets all the extras. I like concentrating on one since they don't actually need anything. I used to keep them all in the lodge, but I hated sifting through them when battling. Now I just have Talon battle ready and it is easier. One day I might get around to redoing their TCs like I used to. I thought the zoo was going to be better so I went through and took out all the minions I had in their TCs but ended up just tossing them into my gallery.

I think it all stemmed from the success their show Orange is the New Black had, but now that show is done.There are quite a few movies that are getting remade or getting sequels. I'm on the fence about the Mary Poppins sequel, honestly I don't think that movie needed a sequel especially after this many years. Some remakes I like, but I think it's just because it has actors I know and like....and there's the chance I've not seen the original. I've had that happen before. There were some items I had on my wishlist since I joined 12 years ago that I really wanted, but now I don't really want anymore. It's mostly been older wearable items that are in need of an art redo. Yes, they do. I wonder if she isn't trying to live through them. I know when Chris and I started dating, she told him in front of me that she wouldn't allow him to getting married until after he was 21, because she wished she hadn't gotten married at that age, so that she could have finished school. I wasn't too thrilled. Chris wasn't living in her house anymore so she no longer had much say in what he choose to do. However, I don't think she told the same thing to her middle son. I wouldn't be surprised is the youngest lives with them for a while after school. I usually heat up fries in the fryer unless they specify to baked in the oven. Arby's fries sometimes get pretty crispy in the oven, but there are times I've had to bake them longer because they weren't done. I've got a bag of steak fries too, but I don't remember what they're called. Now I want fries lol, maybe I'll have chicken and fries for supper. Books have gotten rather expensive lately. $8 for a small paperback book is pretty pricey. That's why I started buying books from Thriftbooks.com. The prices usually hang around $3.99 or $3.79, sometimes a bit higher, depending on the books condition. I've earned enough points on their finally to get a free book, so I ordered 3 more books yesterday. I wish winter was over so that I could get more hours on the farm and start getting bigger paychecks again. My paycheck for this month will be dismal because weather has cancelled our plans to work cattle all month.
