yeah. The blurbs make it sound like it would be annoying, but a person was talking about it being good, and they have generally good taste, so I gave it a try. And at first I liked it a lot. But then it started to definitely be closer to the annoying-sounding blurb so I looked for what other people I know said about it, and one friend who has recommended me some very good books had said "don't read it" in a Discord to another friend like two years before. So I decided to give up then and there. I have lots of other books to try.

how's your chihuahua holding up? Also, everyone's masquerade-disguised but us, waiting for tomorrow (in my case getting my one last ready HA before the masq ones worn 😁

I feel like it would've already been done if it was going to be, but, maybe!! we can keep hoping for baking achievements. Or more baking things for higher levels too I guess?

cool, hopefully there's more...I mean I just saved the info on everything so maybe that's why lol :) And ohhh that recipe on refried beans looks fabulous :D Thank you so much for sharing! I have so many pinto beans and I really needed a good recipe for refried beans and I have a few instant pots so that's perfect :D If I can get my printer figured out I'm totally going to print the recipe to have on hand :D and I do have an immersion blender so that should work just great :D

you aren't old enough to be sooooooo forgetful missy so I'll be a turd forever haha :) :P

DEAL I love some heat :D Don't really like the humidity but I can deal :P

I know, right? DX I used to have a pretty good memory too. I blame having babies XD

I don't know why they keep telling you to eat fruit when it's seldom needed. It looks cool - all but the toilets. :-D I just do like you and only eat what I need. Although sometimes I've gotten 2/10 when I've only eaten 1/10. I think it has to do with a Katrina blessing at Harv's.

The pup is doing ok. Still acting a bit cray cray but not as bad now. He keeps getting into the 18 year old yorkie's bed that's under my desk and the yorkie isn't happy about it. I've never had 2 dogs fighting over me. rotfl!!

I can't wait for you to make the refried beans! I make lots of alterations to any recipe so after you make them the first time you'll know what you need to add more of or less of. One of my best tricks is to not use any salt until I emulsify them, then I add about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bullion beef flavored and a few sprinkles of white pepper. Then I stir and taste and if it needs more salt I add a little bit more of the bullion. I would have used chicken but my hubs suggested trying the beef and I do like it better. You could add some cayenne pepper even, just depends on what tastes good to you. Make a double batch and freeze half!! :-)

that's true....babies take away your mind haha :P I wonder if we get that back when they turn 18? lol XD like time served here's your brain cells back? :P

I'm not sure when I'll get to it (might be a few months) LOL summer time is busy for me and I'm thinking of getting another freeze dryer to make more candy etc soooooo I'll be pretty busy bagging and then stepkids this summer LOL But I do want to have it on my list cause yummmmm! I might make a small batch before they get here on the 3rd LOL! And I already know I'll be adding more onions/garlic the first time because refried beans take a LOT of flavor :P but I'll hold off on the salt...wait do you do regular salt and the better than bouillon or just the bouillon as your salt? :P I think beef makes more sense than chicken cause well normally people have tacos etc and taco meat? lol XD maybe? ohh I bet some refried beans with some rice and taco meat would make a bomb big burrito :D Making myself hungry! I was thinking of freeze drying some later :P (probably minus the oils) but I might try it cause its not that much oil and its mixed with the food but oily stuff/fatty stuff don't stay good for 20+ years if there's too much of it :P but should be good 2-5 years :D I'll let you know how it turns out :D

And the whole food recipes thing, yeah, I will not be making those to eat XD Great for displays though!

LOL! I don't think we will ever get our minds back 😂 But who knows!

well I'm sure we have to "wait" to get minds back till ALL the children are grown LOL ;)

hurray for the masquerade about to start. Made myself a HA for later with the new Private Outfit

Today, it will start the Masquerade! I am already ready for it. I came over the sea just to have a bit of dance ahah Lets danceee!

the only wears i like are the heart pens :/

Daniel cooks them on the bbq

I almost put Chelsea this time LOL I hope my mind comes back 😂 Because it's so so bad right now. I have to write things down to remember them and even then I can still forget.

Whoop whoop! So readyyyy! I hope it starts around 12-ish Subeta time ^0^

I haven't gone to look yet. I typically don't usually care for the Masq wears too anyway 😅

yea i guess thats true.. the survival and vesnali stuff are way better. just wish it would start so i can get everything, LOL XD

Yikes, yeah, not the biggest fan of the wears. The pens are cool! And the wire skirts. But that's basically it for wears for me this year 😂

yea, i was hoping with that awesome dress they released earlier this month we would have some nice stuff but nope

You all look so spiffy & ready to DANCE <3 Still need any dance achievements? The only 2 I need are duel related, so probably not this year? I also have hundreds of masks, so if there is an sP mask you would like to borrow for Masq, I will see if I have it!

Y NO MASK?! jkjk xD Your HA is cuuute! How are you?

I have already all the achievements from Masq :p And I do not need any mask as well, but thank you very much o

For sure! What are you most excited for? I'm happy about new books & wears.

Definitely a bummer >_< Oh well! Maybe next year lol

Goooood morning! I still need the dance with 2,500 users, I'm at 2,349. I should be able to get that this year :O And I also need the 2 border ones that I missed last Masq when I was on hiatus. The duel related ones I believe are when you go to the dance floor when accepting dances, Boudewijn will randomly pop up when you're on the dance floor to duel. So you could definitely get them this year if you wanted! I think you can get trinket bags from him if you win.

I think I have all the achievements, thanks. Can't wait to see all the cws, and see my csc disappear xD

yea i doubt it, masq stuff isn't my thing i guess xP

Usually, I buy all items (beanbags, books, plushies, stickers, food) because I do all these collections xD
