I agree about Ron and Hermione. By the end it also looked like she was rubbing off on him. Especially when he came up with a couple of good ideas and she was shocked that he had been paying attention to what she said before. I watched most of it online (a few episodes last season on tv) even though I have HBO. I don't like watching things like if Emily can see it. I don't want to scare her. A night out is supposed to be fun :( They should be happy if you try to improve the house. As long as you know what you are doing. It isn't like you knocked down a wall or anything. I hate when I grab the wrong bag of something. It always happens when I am in a hurry and I am looking forward to what I bought only to be let down. Most of the disposable just don't seem to be worth wearing at all. Sometimes you would be better off just wearing a scarf. fingers crossed Everything keeps running smoothly. We will see when the next event comes up.

I had my suspicions for a while, but he kept telling us that everything was fine. I even saw people outside taking pics. People don't do that unless they are going to sell the building or have it taken by the state. He just kept lying to us. He thought that if he got so far behind on the taxes that the gov would bail him out. That did not work. They took the building instead. He came by in Dec. and gave us our rent back for that month and told us that we had to get out. Merry Christmas to us! We basically wound up taking the first apartment we could find because it was so close. It was also the fastest one we could get into at that moment. We could not afford to be picky. We didn't have any movers, so we didn't have to deal with all that. Even though a mover would have been helpful for a lot of the stuff. Hopefully this next move will go smoother for you hugs

waddles through, passing out "Happy February? Or? Something? Yep." giftos and love

Hey Hun :)

Hey and Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a good week so far!

Oh yes, I completely forgot about that! You can also tell they cared for each other in the 7th book, especially when Hermoine was being tortured in Malfoy Manor while Ron was stuck in the cell and when Ron left due to the effects of the amulet, Hermione seemed sort of lost. Then when Ron came back and destroyed the amulet, it played off of his fear/worry that Hermione loved Harry. I have a large list of shows that I need to watch before I can start watching a new one. Right now I'm watching Three Rivers on Amazon and I'm waiting for the second season of Harrow to get added to Hulu. I agree, a night out should be fun and stressfree. But I'm always stressed out whenever I'm around the in-laws. I agree they should be, especially for as dark and poorly lit as the cellar was. Only half the room was lit and you couldn't see anything past the air unit. I'd like to redo the walls in the bedroom and add some insulation and then sheetrock, but I doubt they would be okay with that. Me too. I was just going to let the spicy Doritos sit in the pantry until Chris came home but then decided to try them out. I also hate when packaging looks really similar in either design or color or if someone has put something in the wrong spot. The disposable mask always made my glasses fog up, so I had to move my glasses further down my nose. I used to wear a scarf while choring in the winter, but it caused my glasses to fog up too, so I ended up pulling it away from my face. The mask I bought is made from neoprene material and the filters can last up to 6 months if used lightly. The shop search page was a little sluggish while I was questing because it took a while to process a sale and I ended up buying an item twice. Hopefully, everything runs smoothly for Survival.

Yeah that was so sad :( I hated all of that. I was so happy when he finally came back. At least when you get around to watching it you wont have to wait like we have to right now. Waiting a year or two for a new season is ridiculous. Especially when there will only be 6 or 7 episodes. That is never fun :( too bad you can't just bail. I wouldn't blame you if you did. It sounds like the place needs to be inspected. They are lucky to rent it to anyone. It is a shame that they own a home, but are unwilling to keep it up and maintained the way they should. I would love to have a house to take care of. Yes! I hate when two things look exactly alike except one is "Light" or "fat-free" and you don't notice it until it is too late. That deff sounds like a better choice! I always hated wearing scarfs for that reason too. It does seem a little laggy. I used to be able to buy a bunch of stuff out of shops pretty quickly, but now I have to wait between purchases.

I didn't enjoy the part when Ron left or when they were stuck in Malfoy Manor (mainly because Dobby died afterwards). Most of the movies did fairly well with sticking to the books, but there were places where they deviated a bit too much. The third movie was one of the better ones, I think, and the fourth movie was my least favorite. Yeah, I have heard that the wait time is crazy. Almost like the wait time between Sherlock seasons. Actually, I'm tempted to bail on the birthday dinner and the excuses used would be plausible. I could either bail due to an allergic reaction or a migraine (I'm suffering from one right now). The only way I could go and feel sort of comfortable would be if I had someone else to go with me, like one of my friends. Since the rental agreement is more of a private one, I'm not sure if there is any inspection involved since the house wasn't advertised as a rental. Chris and I were offered the house to move into at a price that we could afford each month, which is really cheap for a two story house that technically has 5 bedrooms. When I go grocery shopping, I like to be in and out as fast as I can. I have my list and I try to stick to it (hard to do when my mom's list is three times as long as mine). Most of the time I know where the stuff is located, but when it gets moved, that's when I grab the wrong thing. I almost grabbed double dark chocolate milano cookies instead of the double milk chocolate because the package pretty much the same except for the wording. So far, it's been working pretty well. I shouldn't have to worry about finding replacement filters for awhile because it came with 10. I just need to add more velcro to the straps because the straps are too long for me. I used to be able to buy items really quickly too, but now I have to wait for the shop search page to finish loading before I can even buy an item. I don't know how many times I've closed a tab thinking I bought an item to find out I can't complete a quest because I'm missing something.

The scenes in the manor were hard to watch :( it got really dark. I haven't read any of the books. I just watch the movies. yeah the wait is crazy! I know it is a big production, but that is a long time to wait. It is always better to have a buffer :D When Emily's dad and his wife were here I had my great niece come over so Emily would feel more comfortable. That is a different story. I have no idea how that would work. I am the same way! I hate lingering around in the store. Oh I hate dark chocolate! That would make me so mad. I would not even be able to eat them :( Oh yeah that is deff something that needs to fit perfectly. Otherwise it is useless. I am glad they changed it so you know which item you are missing. I hated having to go into my inventory to look or accidentally buying two of an item.

I haven't been around as much lately, but I'll try to be here more during Survival because it's my favorite holiday on here.

I'm excited. :)

Hey Hun :)

Hey and Hi everyone waves

Hello :)

Cute HA, that oven mitt cookie tray item is a really good item.

Thanks :D I love it! I had wanted items like this for a long time. Especially since we have such cute kitchen bgs.

Yeah, it's a nice item to go with some of the nice kitchens we have. :)

The staff have been pretty good about trying to implement a lot of user suggestions with the holiday items. I know last year we got quite a few things that I remember seeing people ask for on the forums.

For some reason I have always wanted an item like a mixing bowl of some kind. Like she is standing there mixing batter or something, but I think that might be too complicated to pull off realistically.

You never know, it could be worth suggesting somewhere. They've been able to do some creative things by covering up the arms and having cutouts in the clothing that utilize the HA's base color underneath.

It couldn't hurt to try :) Ugh I better get to the store before it gets any later!

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I logged on to do quests but haven't really been in a good place mentally all week, plus I've had two migraines. They were hard to watch and I think I read somewhere that they were difficult scenes for the actors to film. I think Helena Bonham Carter apologized to Emma Watson after shooting the scene, to make sure things were still ok. I've read the books multiple times. I know fans are frustrated that Peeves the poltergeist was never in the films, especially the 5th film. I recommend reading them because there's just so much in the books that couldn't make it into the films. And there are some things that happened in the movies that didn't happen that specific way in the books. Like in the Goblet of Fire, Dobby was the one who gave Harry the gillyweed, not Neville. And in Deathly Hallows, Dudley shakes Harry's hand and acknowledges that Harry saved his life years earlier (I think, I need to reread the book to remember if he says anything). I noticed that the season won't start until April. That's quite a bit of time to wait. It would be so much fun to be at the locations they shoot at though. It is, but then I don't want to inconvenience my friends, plus I don't know who I would ask to come along. Spring break is the week before my birthday, so that knocks out two friends, and one of my other friends works during the day. I think there would be some eyebrows raised if I asked one of my guy friends to join me. Right now, it's looking like I could very well end up with a migraine the day of. I don't either, and I don't really want to look anything up on it. If I do, I'd want to tell Chris about it and then he would probably want to look into more. I tag along with my mom to get groceries, so I end up doing a lot of lingering which leads to me buying food that I don't really need but it looks yummy. Dark chocolate is too bitter for me. I would have been upset too if I hadn't noticed because the milk chocolate Milano cookies are yummy, I have to force myself to only eat a few at once. Yeah, right now I have to make sure one strap stays in place, otherwise the mask shifts on my face. But it is nice to not have to worry about my glasses fogging up. I'm glad they implemented that too. And I think they are working on redoing the page that gives the options for using items out of your inventory to make it look nicer and less clunky.

No worries Hun hugs I hope you are doing better now. I love her! The actress, not the character. Although she is my favorite character to play as when we are playing the HP lego game lol. Maybe one day I can get around to reading them. I just need to find some quiet time. Oh I know. I would love to visit those places. I really want to go and see the real Castle Black wall! I can understand that. Oh your MIL would probably have a field day gossiping about that for years! Deff not worth it, Some things are better left alone. Hopefully you guys wont have to be there too much longer. Yeah I never could eat dark chocolate. That is why I hate that they put it with raspberries for so many things. I want the raspberries but not the dang dark chocolate! Hopefully the mask is helping to keep you safe :) yesterday I noticed a new addition to vending. Now it shows you how many vends you have left as you are vending. I find that very helpful.

I thought today would be better, but it's still not. Essentially, I'm being blamed for things that aren't my fault and it just seems like I can't do anything right/correctly according to certain people (i.e. family). Like today the oil pressure gauge has started fluctuating on my pickup and I got told off for not checking oil at home when the problem started while I was driving this morning. Yes, Helena is an excellent actress. I've noticed that she and Johnny Depp are in a lot of films together and they work brilliantly together. I need to reread the books, I think it's been almost 10 years since I read them thanks to college and moving around a bunch. I have quite a few other books that I need to read first......just like I have a lot of video games that I need to play through. I just need to spend a month in Ireland and Scotland, just to have a chance to see things. Another show I need to start watching is Outlander (which there is a raffle, I guess, for a chance to win a trip to Scotland to spend time with the lead actor of Outlander). She would either gossip about it or hold a grudge over it, thinking I'm going off with someone while Chris is gone. I told Chris earlier today that I'm really not wanting to go with to the birthday lunch because I just feel awkward around his parents and it also seems like they either don't like me or judge me a little bit. Case in point, last May I was at their house for FIL's graduation party and my dog kept trying to bite their dog on the face. I told her no and snapped my fingers multiple times (she knows the finger snap means she's in trouble), but she kept doing it. So, I smacked her on the muzzle and my MIL freaked out and my brother-in-law had to come to my defense. Yes, however, we will probably be at this house for a while as my grandmother's house still needs to be emptied out and then torn down. We'll be saving money for the house but also setting aside money to take a 5th anniversary trip to Hawaii in 2 years. Maybe the in-laws can help with that since they supposedly offered Chris $2,000 for us to elope instead of having a wedding. I know dark chocolate is supposed to be healthier.....maybe it's healthier because you can't eat more than one bite! I've tried it multiple times and the only dark chocolate I liked was Henry & Davids chocolate truffle because it actually wasn't bitter. So far it has been helping. I just need to buy velcro the next time I go shopping so the straps can actually stay in place. I haven't vended in a while, but I think I recall seeing that mentioned somewhere as a new addition. Which is nice because I never kept track of how many times I had used a vending machine. Lag was horrible this morning. I gave up and watched two episodes of Animaniacs while I ate lunch before I attempted to complete my quests.

Awe Hun I am so sorry to hear that hugs I know it must be awful for you. I know I hate dealing with people like that. Yeah when she was involved with Tim Burton he put them in a lot of movies together. I love that! Not sure if they will work together anymore like that since they broke up. That would be a wonderful trip! I would love to go to both places :D It would probably be better for you to just bow out of it rather then get all upset on your special day. You should not have to stress about being around people who make you that uncomfortable, Yeah if you are stuck there for a while then it is better to not make waves, You don;t want to have to make a sudden move. You want to be read and prepared. Having to move on very short notice is no fun at all. You might end up having to take something out of sheer desperation to have a place to live. I heard that but now it seems like a lot of people are saying it isn't healthier. Things like this seem to change all the time. I can't keep up, I never kept track of it either, but it is nice for when I want to use one or more machines and I can decide to use half my tokens in one and half in another and I know when to switch, Right now comcast is acting up so mine keeps going in and out. I don't know if any lag is from the site or because of net issues.

Does anyone know Nightwic on here? If you do, her health has declined rapidly and she doesn't have too long to live. her daughter informed a bunch of us on a Facebook Group we are all a part of. I just wanted to pass the message along if some of you had interacted with her on here.
