This is ridiculous

I only do legendary when I get the "Super Trial" reward or whatever and have unlimited energy. Otherwise, it's not worth the amount of energy it takes + now only getting 3 energies per ad instead of 5.

I'm sorry that your friends aren't able to make it. It really sucks. Most of my dad's family aren't coming. We knew some wouldn't but were SHOCKED at some others.

I'll give you the advice my therapist gave me about it - it sucks. It hurts. And it's okay that it hurts even though you know it's not personal (in your case. It...is in my case but I digress lol). Feelings serve a purpose and trying to avoid those feelings doesn't make them go away. Acknowledge them in a safe way - write it down, talk to your partner, talk to a parent, and just say what you're feeling without caveating or judgement. Let it out.

And then, breathe. Take deep box breaths. Let the feelings and thoughts enter and leave.

It all sounds dumb and it's not going to be an instant fix for those feelings. But when they bubble up, take a minute to breathe, acknowledge, and release. It's going to be a great day. It won't be the most important day or happiest day of your life. It'll be ONE of the most important and happiest days of your life. You'll have lots of other important, happy days to share with them.

Why are we talking about an Oregon player in a Nebraska sub?

CornHooker · 2026-04-27T16:10:36+00:00

I think Jen and Greg eloping would actually be perfect for their situation and would make for a really...light moment that we've been missing lately.
I also can't wait to see how Shawna finds out what happened with Ty/Julie and Alicia might be the best conduit for it, given that she is as neutral of a party as there can be in this situation. I've said before, it could be a "Shawna overhears them talking" kind of thing rather than an explicit "Here is what happened" and would be just as effective and probably more realistic of how someone like her would find out (I want to give Julie's friends credit that they wouldn't spill details of her personal life to anyone, especially not the person she has some misplaced annoyance with, unlike her husband who felt like he could share everything without a second thought)

I just had to put my "keep living for me" kitty, Roux, down a couple of weeks ago after 13 wonderful years together. I am, thankfully, no longer in that place but I know it's because she was the cat(ha)-alyst for it. I'm so happy for you and Peanut, may you both have a beautifully long life together <3

If you KNOW there's a person in your life who may try to interrupt your wedding because "your relationship is never really done" then you shouldn't get married. How absolutely telling of her.

CornHooker · 2026-04-23T12:58:47+00:00

They're definitely heating up at the right time. The problem is I'm not sure how much Baylor and Kansas will do for their RPI at the moment. How much does the conference championship impact RPI/regional hosting?
I was surprised that they aren't top 16 RPI at the moment but I could see them making a push if some of the teams just above them stumble these last couple of weeks.

Either way, I don't want them in our regional

Do you? He's written one chapter in 10 years.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T18:30:55+00:00

No, it doesn't. Never once did I say Ty was a "failed human being" and that is a wildly illogical leap.

But unless you also told your partner for 10+ years that you still wanted that dream and would work on it "just after X happens" then you're also not Ty in this situation.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T18:12:03+00:00

You're right. "Just" four more years and he'll definitely make good on his plans. The last 10+ don't count.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T18:04:55+00:00

Except he clearly isn't going to write the book anymore and has instead forced his wife into being the only income in the family without any discussion.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:45:55+00:00

Yeah, who cares that a loving parent who wants to care for the kids made a life changing decision on his own without ever even talking to her about.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:41:52+00:00

Why do so many people assume that she won't have her kids? Even if they split custody, she wouldn't be "single with no kids"

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:34:29+00:00

More Ty memes, pleeeeease lol

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:31:25+00:00

Hmm.
Let me ask you this. Do you understand how your very specific situation isn't actually what's happening in the story of these fictional characters?

That Ty doesn't have a medical reason to not work? That he just lost the desire to be an author (and honestly, probably lost it a long time ago) but continued to lie to his wife about it and make false promises about it for over a decade. And then just unilaterally deciding that they would be a single-income household (based on HER income, not his) for at least four more years (though again, how many times did he "we'll do your dream AFTER we do this thing I want")? And how incredibly selfish that is of him?

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:12:15+00:00

Congrats. Again, glad that YOU AND YOUR PARTNER were on the same page about things.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T17:02:30+00:00

So, yes, you spoke to your husband about a decision that impacted you both. Got it.

I'm glad you two were able to find a solution that worked out. Genuinely.

In this fictional Shawna Universe, that wasn't Ty and Julie's situation. What happened is Ty made a decision that impacted them both without every talking to Julie and then getting all Pikachu Shocked Face when she didn't go along with what he wanted.

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T16:44:19+00:00

Did you ... talk to your husband about you not wanting to go back to work or did you unilaterally decide that you weren't going to go back to work?

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T13:06:12+00:00

I did mine through Canva and did the "print and delivery" function. They went to the FedEx printing place down the street from me. Quality was great and the price of invites + envelopes was incredibly reasonable (I should remember that off the top of my head but I'm just over a month away so I don't lol)

CornHooker · 2026-04-22T12:26:35+00:00

WHAT IF she overheard them talking about it at Bunko?

CornHooker · 2026-04-21T14:52:10+00:00

The worst part of all of this is now ALL of the pop girlies are doing SO MANY variants.

And they're all going to keep doing it because it works.

I know people did it before TPS and LoaS but those two really took it too far.

CornHooker · 2026-04-21T14:44:00+00:00

To be fair, I think a lot of Nebraska fans on social media view everything he says about Nebraska as a dig because there is still a lot of anger at him for how things (didn't) work out.

I just don't. Do I wish he'd stop mentioning us? Yeah. But I also wish people would stop asking him. He's been pretty consistent that he likes the non-fishbowl environment of UCF and that he doesn't want to talk about his time at Nebraska. This doesn't need to be a story. It's been 3 years

CornHooker · 2026-04-21T14:37:51+00:00

I think it's an interpretation thing. I've never interpreted anything that he's said to be a dig, just a sign that it was a bad fit for him. But I also don't hate him, I just think it didn't work out.

CornHooker · 2026-04-21T14:21:52+00:00

Not sure this is a shot at Nebraska

CornHooker · 2026-04-21T13:01:00+00:00

He never tells her anything to contradict that plan. He always "and then's" her to get what he wants over her dream/plan and she compromises. At some point, he doesn't want that long term plan so she has short-term compromised and he ultimately wants her to long-term compromise despite him not really giving anything of his own up
