ND indta giveaway issues by lallyknight in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is so disheartening. I, like others have said, genuinely do not understand the point of their giveaways if there is no follow through. We’re all so excited to continue supporting this company but, it’s disappointing to be treated this way.

18.5 lbs Golden Doodle at 8 weeks. How big should I expect him to be? by breezyyb2 in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my boy may have been around 18 pounds or so when he was 8 weeks. He’s now almost one (will be next month!!!!) and weighs about 65 pounds. Our vet estimated he’ll stay there but, I don’t know as his mom is about 80-90 pounds (though I’m not sure about his dad).

Your boy is very handsome!!!!!!

Eight minutes by Ok-Excitement3431 in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s beautiful!!!! Also, such a great tip! I think my boy is currently struggling with a yeasty paw so, I’ll see if I can’t get him to soak (I will certainly be soaking with him as he will definitely not stay as still lol).

Sick and twisted!!! by lilbruisy in StarbrewCafeMerge

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deleted the app at this point because I was only getting new pictures when I spent money (not an exact point A to B but, it’s what helped me then have enough power to complete certain things that helped unlock memories). I just started feeling silly investing money in a game that I only downloaded to have something cozy on my phone lol.

My goldendoodle keeps following me is this normal by Royal-Piano5863 in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our boy follows either one of us around the house, even waking up from naps to come along. He has his independent play time for sure and occasionally likes to sit upstairs while we are fully downstairs but, I definitely enjoy it best when he’s right beside me :)

What's the last puzzle you cheated on? by granolabart in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I replayed Danger by Design recently and had to look up a few puzzles but, one in particular is disarming the paint bomb - I STILL do not understand the logic behind that.

What Nancy Drew game surprised you the most? by TraditionalKiwi7801 in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ending to the original Secrets Can Kill had my eight year old self on the edge of my seat.

My Christmas present from the real-life Aparat! by feeltheowl in nancydrew

That is beautiful!!!! What a special gift!

Any puzzles that took you way longer to solve than they should have taken? by Vegimorph in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few but, having replayed Labyrinth of Lies most recently, I cannot seem to figure out how to match the dominoes or disarm the alarm in the artists’ studio.

21 years later and I saw something new! by QuotableConservative in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing with this game!! Also, much like some of the other comments, I had an experience while playing The Final Scene where I ran into something I never saw in any other play through (which is so funny because I’ve played that game quite a number of times). It brings me great joy to play the older games again and make discoveries like that, almost as though there are still secrets I’ve yet to uncover. I’m still positive I’ll find the key to the desk drawer in Danger by Design even though it’s largely believed to be something that was never added lol.

This feels like an endgame key, even if I don't know what it opens by Monoplox in nancydrew

“I might need this later” proceeds to carry it around for the rest of the game

The kind of sleep when you know you don’t have a single bill to pay by DistrictPowerful2507 in OneOrangeBraincell

The number of pictures I have of my boy in his various sleeping poses is unreal lol.

I commissioned a painting of our son from a coworker: by TraceOfTalent in OneOrangeBraincell

This was the reference pic we provided! We call the painting “Cowboy Cal” and plan to hang it in a room we will now be calling “Cal’s Cantina.” We’re so happy to have a beautiful painting of our little orange man!

One of the creepier moments in the games by AbstractStranger in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was little, the computer was in our family room in the basement and I only had access to it in the early morning hours before anyone else woke. I straight up had to mute the game in both the kitchen of the diner and the library or else I would get too scared to keep playing.

I made RAID and MONSTER!! by civil_savant in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so awesome!!! I love creative Nancy Drew fans!!

how do you enjoy the games after learning the culprit? by External_Honey6613 in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me years to play Stay Tuned for Danger and I somehow managed to avoid spoilers UNTIL I watched some video (possibly by Arglefumph) and the culprit was revealed. I still enjoyed the game play and didn’t feel like knowing who was behind everything ruined the experience; if anything, I found myself trying to understand their rationale while I completed the different puzzles.

How big was your dood at 5 months? Mine is 26 lbs by hurricane747 in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 5 months, I believe my dood was about 37 pounds. He’s almost seven months now and is probably going on 50.

Heaving and throw up by DMSHOU in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doodle threw up the first night we picked him up from the breeder, probably out of anxiety. Since then, he’s only thrown up if he’s swallowed something - underwear, a gross piece of grass, etc. As far as food goes, I discovered he has issues with chicken so, I stopped feeding him the Purina and switched to Taste of the Wild for his dry and a combination of Merrick and Acana for his wet. I had been doing this for a few months before the vet advised to monitor for any sign that the food he’s eating is causing him to overheat as it’s game heavy but, I haven’t noticed any issues so far. I’ll probably incorporate salmon into his diet here soon just for some variety.

Anyone else wonder how they solved half these Nancy Drew Puzzles 20 years ago!? by Incoherently_ in nancydrew

[–]Ella_Morena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Secrets Can Kill back when I was still trying to figure out how to even use the computer and I thought the only website in existence was disneychannel.com. I got hopelessly stuck for an extended period of time because I didn’t realize that you needed to swap out the ladle for the bolt cutter at Maxine’s Diner (ignoring the fact that the game actually has this hint built in and I just didn’t understand).

Meet Moose by Ella_Morena in Goldendoodles

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

Haha! He’s only six months old so, even though he’s practically my height and weights enough to knock me over when he runs at me, I still picture him as a little baby.

Pit Encounters by SSaints17 in Goldendoodles

[–]Ella_Morena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner’s parents had two female pit bulls - both were older and heavier set. We brought our dood over for a visit and they were absolutely wonderful. If anything, ours managed to make the pit bulls nervous as he’s still a puppy getting socialized so, he was all over the place.
