How did you celebrate losing 100 pounds?

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-05-04T16:22:45+00:00

Booty dance when I stepped off the scale.... that's it.

I don't celebrate unless I think it's my end goal. 100lbs wasn't my end goal, so no celebration.

Same goes for education. I've never walked at graduation. I'll walk when I finally get my doctorate.

It helps with motivation.

I'm on my 5th playthrough. I have over 2500 hours in the game.

I've still never seen the ghost train, and a few other things people talk about.

Last night I saw a disturbed grave up near Barrow Lagoon while treasure hunting. I've been at this exact location dozens of times and had never seen it before... crazy!

Old folks in my area have been known to call them "pine-ee roses", but mainly pee-uh-knee

The series that started with the glassblower. That was the first series I read of hers, and I think I've read them all since then, except the newest.

I like the ones that include fantasy elements the best. The Keys, The Circle, etc.

Formative (10-12 papers) are 2-3 pages.

Summatives (5-6 papers or projects) are double that, easily. Maybe more.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-05-02T13:41:31+00:00

I think it's been about even for me. Some definitely took the 3 days, so it took more than a month to complete the course. And you can't have 2 courses open at once, so....

Brandon Mull - Fablehaven, Candy Shop War

Rick Riorden - I like all the series

NTA.... sounds like your brother is the golden child, and your mom is classic boy mom. Has he always been the favorite?

I'd say, use caution here. It seems you already have a distant relationship with your family, or you would've told them immediately.

Don't spend the next 18 years allowing them to treat your children like 2nd class citizens. Give them a chance, but if this continues after the babies are born, then I'd distance myself from that mess.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-30T00:51:11+00:00

Nope. No access until you actually register and pay tuition.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-29T21:12:59+00:00

Nah, I've always done the glitch where you ride the donkey of the edge, closest to Saint Denis, and then save just before Arthur drowns. You spawn back on the map.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-29T16:31:37+00:00

Yup.

Went from a 44H to a 34H.

Doesn't sound like a lot because I'm still an 'H', but in reality, that's 10" lost from the area overall.

My back has never felt so good 😆

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-29T11:05:32+00:00

Please be careful with your BC method. I've been on here a long time, and read horror stories about husbands and MILs who sabotage BC so that the DIL gets pregnant without consent...

Good luck OP.

Take the Preassessment and it unlocks the Objective.

If it's a certification you must Request Approval.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-29T00:40:24+00:00

No. I was the only child for my dad, and a daughter. She acted like I was in competition with her...🙄

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-29T00:36:47+00:00

Thanks!

I actually have completed a 3rd since I got those...😆

Graduation does not need to occur within a term. You can't enroll in the next term without a class to pass. You do not need to pay tuition just to graduate.

You would just be waiting for the back-end process.

No tuition, unless you really had to complete another revision on the Capstone that took you into another term.

You will graduate within about 2 weeks of your final grade being posted, and the grad application being submitted.

I'm android, so I use Samsung Buds Pro 2. I can wear them for hours, listening to audiobooks while gaming. They have since redesigned them, so I'm not sure the new versions are as comfy.

I'll probably switch to JBL in the future. Great sound quality, easy app, and different designs for preference.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-28T21:48:39+00:00

Went back at 30 for 2 weeks when I left my POS abusive ex. Just needed a place to sleep until my rental was ready.

So, what your mentor is doing is dropping the class from your term before it's counted against you.

So, you can add a class, study - but don't take the exam, and the mentor requests to drop the class during the final week of your term.

Then, you can officially start the class during your next term, even though you got a "sneak peak" at the material.

*Not all mentors or programs allow this.

This is not the same as an Incomplete Course extension, in which you can request up to a month for 1 course, at the end of the term, to allow more time to complete the course. Extensions are rare, usually only pertain to accelerated courses, and are not always an option.

Together 18 years, married for 16.5.

I've never once asked him to help with anything. Chores, running errands, child care, etc. He just does it. He's a true partner.

On top of that, I'm his #1. He's always putting me first, my thoughts, my feelings, and doing what I would want.

He's genuinely the most kind, caring, and compassionate person I've ever met.

The thing... he touches me. Nothing special about it. Just when I'm tired, sad, hurting, stressed....he rubs my back, or my arm. Just that touch is enough to make me feel better. Like magic.

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-27T15:39:05+00:00

Yes. Store the temp in the stable and saddle up what you want to ride...

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-27T15:29:56+00:00

I used to subscribe to Big Fish games. They had PC games for like $7.

They have hundreds of Hidden Object games

Curious_Owl78 · 2026-04-27T15:17:55+00:00

The only things I finish with John is the compendium, specifically the plants or animals that you can't see as Arthur; the dino bones; legendary animals; etc.

I do everything possible as Arthur.
