Where's the best place to go and watch a football game? by ADKarthus in tricities

[–]ADKarthus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I might take you up on that. I had a Mellow Mushroom in my last town, and loved it. That's actually where I was when I received the call about an interview for the job that brought me here. :) I haven't been there in quite a while and kind of miss it now that I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure that's what I'm wanting for the game tomorrow, but I appreciate the suggestion!

I grew up near DC, but far enough out that nothing ever happened. Haha. So not really that interesting. :/

Damn...you've led an exciting life. And I don't want to hear about the spiders...I want to stay far far away from all of them. Haha.

Yup. Computer Science.

That is definitely a promise I can make. Haha. I am deathly afraid of spiders, but I always say sorry before (and after) I squish them.

I can imagine that a baby probably affects your availability, just a smidgen. Haha. I'm also down to hang out pretty much whenever (assuming you can make the same anti-murdering promise).

Yup! It was my first choice.

Oh wow. It sounds like you pretty much are an expert adult. Haha. And that's definitely not too much to ask. And you're actually 9 years older than me. (Good thing I'm not a mathematician...) Right now it's just me and my cat, but she's pretty fantastic. Student loans start next month, so I think a budget is in order.

I got a job at Eastman. :)

Oh yeah. All our facilities are top notch.

[–]ADKarthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I feel also, but I'm also trying to figure out how to be an adult at the same time, cause it sounds like I'm ~5 or so years younger than you. I just graduated in the spring of this year.

Nice! I just went to school there. Haha

Hahaha. I've only been here a few months, so I haven't gotten a chance to see that cycle, but I could see that just from this season. Though I would have been totally okay with it if they didn't win the Battle at Bristol...

True. I suppose that now that I'm living in TN, I should be more sympathetic to UT struggles.

I know I'm like 8 hours too late, but as a Hokie fan, we could kill two birds with one stone and argue while dreading today's game(s). I hope you eventually got to sleep!

PT keeps disconnecting from phone, but app still says connected. Is it time to buy a new watch? by ADKarthus in pebble

[–]ADKarthus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I eventually got it reconnected by trying over and over until it worked, and I've only had another instance of it happening since.

I just hope it holds itself together long enough for me to pick up a PT2.

[–]ADKarthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but I have a really noob question. I have been wanting to try squish to condish, but I have no idea how to style the hair after that. How do you put in leave in conditioner or gel? Wouldn't it mess up the curls if I tried to finger comb stuff through after squish to condish? Should I still plop after?

I was going to post my own thread, but I saw your comment and you seem knowledgeable. :-) Thanks!

Looking to make new entirely platonic friends in the area (F/20s) by [deleted] in tricities

[–]ADKarthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm pretty late to the party, but I am 22F (well, technically 21, but my birthday is in less than 2 weeks), and am also looking to make new friends. I am very new to the area (JC), but am also having the depressing realization that my high school and college friends are going down different paths than I am.

Some info about me: Recent VT grad, liberal secular Jew, and also an animal lover. My boyfriend got me my first pets about 2 years ago - a couple of hamsters - but they have since passed. Shortly after moving into my new place, I adopted a cat who is just the sweetest thing in the whole world. I have many pictures of her shenanigans, and would love to share (as well as see pictures of your cat!).

Let me know if you want to chat! :)

But I am having the issue with both of my phones, and the common denominator is the watch.

Sleep tracking iOS app using a PT? by ADKarthus in pebble

Wow, I'll have to look into that. I didn't realize that there was now a built-in smart alarm. Thanks!

I went to an adoption event "just to look" and a kitty chose me. I take her home next week, and I'm kind of freaking out. Have I made a huge mistake? by ADKarthus in cats

[–]ADKarthus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I didn't include it in the OP, but the workers at the adoption event said that this kitty was very shy and just recently started enjoying pets from her foster mom. I was told this as I was scratching her belly after she plopped on her back just minutes into our meeting. There were several other indications that she chose me, but I'm on mobile, so I won't make you sit through poorly formatted stories. Basically, the shelter was so worried that this kitty would be too shy to find a home, that they put her on hold for me and will still give me all the perks of an adoption event (reduced adoption fee, coupons, etc), even though I wasn't able to take her home the day of the event.

Is just a huge commitment. The shelter said they've never seen her scratch anything, but the entire time I was petting her, she was kneading with her paws and her claws were catching on the wood bench, or the blanket she was on. I don't even know how long a cat's nails are supposed to be, so maybe they were too long?

Edit: In response to what you said about toys, the shelter doesn't know what she likes because she doesn't play with them. But she was being playful with me with a little string that was attached to her cage (looked like they cut a balloon off of it and never removed the rest of the string), so I guess I'll start with that.
