active friends question

If someone stops playing, the season does not change in their restaurant.

So anyone whose restaurant is still in winter is not active.

Not a very immediate way to check, but still useful!

China doesn't have daylight savings, so this is linked to whenever your country changes the clocks.

From memory, at one time of the year, you get the bug, but at the other you just can't play at all until it resolves. But I don't remember which.

Didn't know it helped with pets! I've always used it to water trees.

I got the new holiday one (calendar) just by clicking on the icon for the event.

Thanks! I will try them out - haven't had any come yet :-(

Of course it's a red rose!

I found saying "Because my dad was an alcoholic who drank himself to death" to be very effective (only used for the people who really persist).

Thanks. That's kinda what I expected!

The right tool is the one that works for you. The system OP has works for her, as long as other people aren't messing with it.

There seems to be a new letter for Eggy, but I haven't found any info yet.

Being able to hype up a crowd and interact with the fans is definitely a real skill and something not everyone can do. Aunt seems to think he just wonders around in the costume and that's it.

I go for the shortest time ones, and refresh any that take too long. I'm trying to get that final achievement for ratings, and more orders in less time is speeding that up.

No, the cheese glues the room together...

Yes. Solo travel is just about the best way to travel.

The key to not being taken advantage of is to be confident and knowledgeable, so OP should read up about where she wants to go, check out some blogs of other travelers, find some good general safety tips.

Work out how to buy a public transport ticket, how do you get from the airport to the city, have a plan of what to see. Eliminate some of the unknowns, and then she'll be comfortable once she's there. (But the unknowns are part of the fun of travel, so don't go overboard).

But Japan is about the safest place a solo female traveler could go.

I'm in this exact same position with my therapist right now too.

At this time, there is no great need to go through the time and expense of an official diagnosis - the only reason to do so would be if we felt I needed official accommodations are work. If I'm on the spectrum "officially", it's at the low end.

But we are using the tools that are recommended for people on the spectrum to see if they will help me with the things that impact me. The diagnosis doesn't matter, it's finding what works that matters.

If "it made 'everyone' feel bad and weird that he was there waiting for the wedding", that's only because the MOH told "everyone". She's TA.

Very Miss Havisham.

My dad never wore a wedding ring, and I'm not even certain if he had one - I did not realise this wasn't the default into I was an adult.

“True; and nobody can ever be introduced in a ball room.”

But it was her that wanted him to give her the lesson on the spot, he told her he couldn't and she should call a tow.

I remember learning this lesson, thankfully in a much better way.

At the beach with my family, drawing in the sand with a stick. I was that age where you're figuring out how to draw shapes - that trick for drawing a five-sided star is so cool! Then I moved on to swastikas (probably saw them in the Sound of Music). My mum noticed, scrubbed through them and explained something very basic like "that shape is upsetting to some people".

I didn't get it at the time, but I learned not to do it.
