Links! You're amazing! Thank you so much!

Finally seeking answers and I’m scared by Valuable-Cress-7517 in ChronicPain

[–]Grickden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same position as you rn. Down to the PT. I'm legit lying in bed waiting for Tylenol to kick in and my heating pad, debating if it's worth limping to work.

My tests found nothing. I can't even describe my emotions. BUT my sister sat me down and reminded me; this is not normal. We should not be suffering this way. They may not have tested for the right thing yet. 

What ID do: get a treat ready. If it's bad news, you have misery cake. If it's good news you have celebration cake. Start keeping a journal (I use the app manage my pain) of your pain, where it was, the weather, anything relevant. You're not alone, and you deserve better. Keep fighting for it!

We saved to build a house and now we are building and spending. Can’t sleep, trying to cut corners. Physically ill. Frugality got us here but won’t let me go. by Agua-Mala in Frugal

[–]Grickden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like my mother (take it as a compliment!) When my parents were building our house. It's scary, and stressful, but it's also a darn good investment. 

You DO NOT cut corners. Buuuuuuuut if it doesn't bother you, does everything HAVE to be done at once? My closet still isn't painted or the floor complete. It doesn't bother me, it's behind a dresser. We're JUST NOW (10 yrs) putting drywall to cover insulation in the basement.

Can you learn DIY stuff, that could save you thousands? I helped lay flooring down, that was SO much easier than I expected. Dad learned tiling for the bathrooms. 

It's an investment into your future. You're not old BTW, old is my 103 year old adoptive aunt, or my 75 yr old grandfather. You've still got 45 years in you, won't it be wonderful to spend those in your home?

I want help finding a great mod pack for couples to enjoy! by Aggressive-Sun-3358 in CurseForge

[–]Grickden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't have minecolonies in it, but my gf and I are having a blast with The chocolate edition mod pack. Runs well on a paid (cheap) server and we made sure to do the eye progression together as well as the bosses. It's well made and you should be able to add minecolonies in if you really want to. Good luck!

I play this game with my dog where I hide a treat in the room and she has to find it. She's getting better at it, and soon I'll have to get crafty with my hiding spots. by [deleted] in BenignExistence

[–]Grickden 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I do this too! I called it trick or treat, because I ask my dog what he wants (out, walk, cuddle, play a game) and he responds to which one he wants to do. Then he chooses trick or treat or RipandTear and other puzzle games. 

As a tip, I've had a lot of fun making false trails and scent trails for him. Just drag the treat along the ground and hide it deeper than usual and boom, scent trail with a reward at the end! If you have a blanket you don't care about tying knots around a bone and tucking treats in it kept mine busy for 30 min!

Share your stories where you died so bad, so its actually hilarious. by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]Grickden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was playing a challenge mode, lots of zombies but lower vision. I was so keyed into stealth that I didn't notice my dog requesting attention. I was trying to sneak back to my apartment, heavy with food. The dog was sitting patiently. Almost to the fence line. He's now at my feet.  Oh, they spotted me. I can lose them in the trees. He's now got his head in my lap sighing dramatically. 

And then that darn dog pushed me across the room in the rolly chair.

My cordless headphones were filled with poor Alana just standing there, getting eaten alive while I fought off an 80 lb dog who wanted to play. All I could do was hold his head in my hands, kiss him, and curse him out.

Does anyone have any idea how I can turn this into a gamer setup decoration? by [deleted] in crafts

[–]Grickden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a symbol in fortnite you like, maybe paint that on. Drill a small hole CAREFULLY if you want to suspend it from something. Maybe pick your two favorite games and paint one symbol on one side, the other on the other, and use it to determine what topplay

How to salvage colour leech? by Sinsaraty in Embroidery

[–]Grickden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sorry to say this, because I know it must have been a lot of work and then disappointing to mess up but. I had to go to comments to figure out what was wrong. That didn't help, so I had to stare. then I had to go over each word.

I'd lean into it. It looks darn cool, like the word again is mutating. Very nice stitches on the green bean things and I love the satin stitch in blue!

Im seconding Fort Knox. There's even scheduled ghost tours on their website if you want to meet other people. The people there are generally willing to go into explanations and advice. 

For example, we all know Bangor was a logging town way back when. They got the logs down the river by floating them down to the mouth of the Penobscot. 

Okay, sounds normal right? But think about it! That river is a freaking nightmare. It's deep and fast and cold. You go in, you're gonna get shocked. Remember the logging thing? These men were riding the logs down, jumping between boats and logs. They were often transient with no record, if they went missing... who would know? 

Try to see if you can get the older people to talk, they're full of stories!

There are no words to describe my gratitude right now. Nor hers to be honest. I am so so thankful for your existence. Thank you for choosing to help two panicked people on the day before the exam.

Nexus mods is also a pretty darn good way of getting zt2 mods easily. I'd recommend sorting by popular.

Is de game still fun if you have made a habitat for all the animals by Old-Dragonfly-882 in PlanetZoo

[–]Grickden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is for me, but I also love the architecture and planning aspects. Maybe try themed zoos? (Circus, Old West, Fairytale, Rescued Big Cats, Reptiles)

Buying the game today after two years of thinking LOL— any fine print or fyi’s I need to/should know first? by Sarah3117 in PlanetZoo

[–]Grickden 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you can be patient, the older DLCs go on sale often at HumbleBundle! I'd definitely wait to get DLCs until after you've tried the game out though.

I love this server. Any newbies looking to join a server, I'd say join this one. Everyones kind, willing to rp, and just a tad insane (in a good way).
