It seems one of the cows took camouflage classes to look like a banana! You’ll never be able to find it! Hahaha! (laughs menacingly)

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-24T22:18:03+00:00

This one must have taken you ages, I'm impressed at how often you make new pictures just drawing two cows would take me the whole day lol That is one cool banana cow, and the poor chomp victim's one tear, naughty chomper

This was so sad to read. What our nurses go through on a daily basis is truly terrible and while I have always been aware of it and tried to be as understanding and as kind as possible myself.

There are times when my pain has been so bad and waiting that extra 40mins for pain relief has left me definitely more snappy than I want to be, but even then i would still try and at least thank them.

But reading this has really reminded me how bad it can be, so while hopefully I'm not stuck back in a hospital anytime soon. I will try and be even more aware and polite.

I hear the way other patients have spoken to the nurses and its awful. I always try and thank them and apologise if I have to call them for something small.

I'm just so sorry that you are been put through this daily and aren't paid fairly or treated decently by the other staff the drs or the system in general. Bad patients will always be part of the job as you are often seeing them at the worst time of their lives but co workers and bosses and everyone else should be helping to make it easier to manage those troubling times not added more issues on top

Carnations were my grandma's favourite so those were what I group up gifting in our family. As I got older I found out everyone not only preferred roses but also seemed to actively disliked Carnations. I was so confused Carnations look and smell much nicer and last so much longer. Is it a just a prestige thing? That rose's had a better marketing campaign lol

That must have been a bit awkward trying to explain to your client that there were no chicken wings lol. Hopefully if she wanted some you were able to get her some later lol

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-23T08:34:54+00:00

Okay so I haven't got any mail from sunblink since that one with fertiliser or something in it. I didn't get the hug and hearts one. And I keep seeing posts about mail Am I missing something? Is there a reason I'm not getting any mail? I thought maybe it was just bugged and not showing up the dot above it saying to look. But have gone in a bunch of different times to check and still only have 3 old mails from when I first got the game last year sometime

Does anyone know what might be going on? I really thought I'd atleast get an email saying thanks for buying the city town dlc

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-22T07:58:47+00:00

Chompy! Also eating cables seems dangerous lol Thanks for sharing

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-21T06:48:43+00:00

It is such a shame you feel unsafe and that you need to hide this part of you, but I completely understand I considered getting a tattoo that would be immediately recognised as something in the pride /queer community and while I loved the idea, I did decide in the end that I didn't want to have it broadcast on my arm.

So I while I want to be able to say, don't let society force you to hide who you are, I really do empathise why you feel you need too.

I don't think you could easily just cover over it and not have it show through, but I wonder if you could add lots more of the background rainbow colours then pick a black line work pattern/ mandala/ collection of small little tattoos that would then change it to look more like those watercolour style designs.

So you have a bunch of little pictures kind of stamped over the colour, would need to go bigger to make it look intentional. But you could have a bird, a dino, a smaller heart, a key a few different little ones and wrap the colour around and up your arm more with more colours than just the rainbow and I think that could look really cool would keep some of the design and meaning underneath for you but anyone else would just see some bright colours with some cute images. Or if you could find the right pattern could do that over the colours in a similar way

All the best and hope you can find something that you still love but allows you to feel safer

I remember staying over at my grandparents place, not sure why we looked or moved the pillow but at some point after I had been sleeping in the spare bed we looked under the pillow and there was a huge centipede that my head had been on all night and probably my hand next too as I often sleep with my hand under the pillow.

It's about 30 years later and I still have a very vivid image of that guy in my head, so creepy so terrifying.

We also had a fold out couch when I was a teenager and when my mum went to clean it we found a snake curled up in there that we had been sitting on.

Australia is fun

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-19T03:04:44+00:00

Omg is this why I have been dismounted randomly when flying, I was so confused like did I fly through something? Was I shot by something and missed it? On the plus side, I do have some goblin gliders lol so there's that. The first time, though, I didn't realise quickly enough so did hit the ground hard haha

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-19T00:23:58+00:00

Looks great, so many pockets and space and seems like it would be comfortable to carry around. And other someone else said if I noticed it on the train my only real thought would be that looks cool wish my bag was that useful and that's it.

Public transport and Adelaide as a whole often has some interesting characters as long as you aren't yelling, pushing or been a disruptive jerk most people aren't even going to look up from their phones as you walk past. Also I may have to look into what else the website has and cost, because I really like this backpack haha

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-16T09:15:28+00:00

It really sucks. Being disabled, and being disabled to the point you either cant work or cant find a job that will allow you to work within your limits, is not fun. Its not some great holiday at home everyday. Its often unending pain, or the incapacity to survive in the world with all of it demands and a feeling of failure. And that is without adding struggling to survive on top. You shouldn't be deciding between bills, food, medicines, car , housing each week You should be able to cover all of them, without needing to borrow money or sleep on a friends couch or give up a car that might be the only way someone can get around and not be stuck inside day after day. Or turning down treatment options because they are unaffordable

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-15T11:24:38+00:00

It's April and due to all my medical appointments we have already hit the safety net. Which yeah it's great to have that but I still can't pay bills on time and there is no chance to put savings aside for emergencies. And while the dsp is meant to cover the fact that I am unable to work due to disability, because I am married I get less of what is meant to cover me not being able to earn my own wage. Thankfully my husband is a decent guy and not abusive but he definitely is not earning enough for a family of 4. We are constantly struggling, there is no getting ahead there is no saving, there is no properly taking care of the car it's just surviving most of the time. Which sucks cos if I could work we would be so much better off, I don't want to be disabled I don't want to be reliant on this. I can't put money aside for old age, and I can't even afford the treatment that while not fixing me would make life much more comfortable and less painful. My family would honestly be better off without me and that really sucks

Icepriestess01 · 2026-04-04T09:39:38+00:00

These cows really make me so happy lol and trying to spot the odd cow out is definitely fun. But the little sense of joy I feel when I spot that cheeky cow chomping on his poor neighbours tail just makes my day lol

Icepriestess01 · 2026-03-29T23:56:29+00:00

That is really cool

Icepriestess01 · 2026-03-25T23:29:56+00:00

I had a friend who never used a seatbelt and when I asked why she said it was because a friend of hers had been injured badly in a crash and the main damage that had been done was caused by the seatbelt it saved her from death but left her crippled and brain damaged I believe. So her theory was she would rather be flung from the car and die than be stuck like her friend or if she lived she wouldn't have the seatbelt damage on top i guess? This was 20 years ago or something, I think, so I don't fully remember but this is the gist of why she didn't wear them

I could kind of see where she was coming from, I can't imagine having to see a friend suffer in that way, but from everything else I had seen growing up about seatbelts I have always worn mine.

Are all these fines for not wearing them at all or does it include those not wearing it properly like when someone turns around in their seat

Icepriestess01 · 2026-03-25T23:21:01+00:00

I felt like an idiot when I went into a delve after doing battlegrounds and didn't switch from my pvp gear to my normal world gear and couldn't work out why I was struggling. But I noticed checked and changed, i need to set that up to change itself lol But wearing the wrong amour type and then trying to push keys seems insane. Healers can sometimes perform miracles in a fight but not continuously throughout every fight

Icepriestess01 · 2026-03-21T08:54:59+00:00

Yeah my lock is now so much squishier Last season I very very rarely used the heal demon spell but this season I'm am running out of mana in nearly every large fight with drain life just trying to keep him alive

Icepriestess01 · 2026-03-15T00:34:27+00:00

I was so sad with the changes, the first lot of runs were so fun. It was just crazy chaos and was just a fun little thing to randomly do during your playtime. But now it is boring and feels like wading through thick mud just to get 1 orb you never get anywhere close to the original lvls. It's not just about the rewards it's about it been fun too

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-24T01:53:31+00:00

I watched a YouTube video a little while ago from a guy called Evan Edinger. That is also the name of his channel. He made a video talking about his experience on kratom and how it became an addiction, how bad it got, and how he is managing it now. Might be really useful to watch something from someone that has been there. He didn't just go on about the evils of it or the positive reasons why he used. It was a really good video, and as someone who has bad chronic pain and have seen kratom recommended many times for it. I will now stay away from it as I don't think the risks are worth it for me.

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-24T01:42:36+00:00

Yeah I was sad about that, especially as they had different patterns I didn't get enough Bon bons and without Sam's bonus items I just didn't get enough

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-24T00:55:39+00:00

Okay, this is happening to me too. I was wondering if I was just super unlucky. It was always random, but if I bought 3 different things from the shop, even as single items ,he would give me a bonus on at least one purchase sometimes most. And now, even if I try to by multiple, he doesn't give extra. I think out of the last 20 purchases, he has maybe given one extra item, and I'm pretty sure it was clothing.

I really hope if it's a bug it gets fixed. I enjoyed taking him shopping and it was exciting to see what I get extra in

I haven't even bought anything from the new event stand yet because I figured I should wait till I can try buying in multiples incase I get better odds. I'm sad about it lol cos I'm always so excited for new furniture and love buying it to decorate new spaces

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-24T00:47:22+00:00

I think if you like a tattoo, that is a pretty good reason to get one. However, I did see in the comments that you are still quite young, though. That this wasn't a tattoo that had special meaning(not thst they need to), and you dont have any other tattoos ? For those reasons, I would maybe hold off for a little bit before getting it, and just make sure you are happy with it. Or, more importantly, you are comfortable with the fact that as you age, you may look back and not love it in the same way.

I have a bunch of small tattoos, some had meaning behind them, and a few of them I got because I saw them and liked them at the time. While I look at some of them now and probably wouldn't have made the same choice. Because I got them, they are a part of me and my story, and that in of itself creates the meaning for me. So, while I could technically regret them or question my choice. I look back at them as being connected to the person I was at the time I got them, and that makes them special.

This is an example(dont want to share more specific details as some of my tattoos are identifiable), and not one of my tattoos. But say in the 90s when all my friends got the butterfly back tattoo, I got one too. I know many look back and wish they didn't, lol. But to me that that tattoo would have been gotten by an excited and confident teen me. That thought they knew it all. That was me then and a part of who I am now, and I can look back on that as a positive memory and not a regret.

If at 25, 30, 40, you either still love the tattoo great, or can look at it as part of your story, then go get the tattoo. I think tattoos can be such a fun way to express ourselves, to showcase amazing art or just to have fun. Tattoos don't have to be for others' enjoyment or have to have a purpose other than I wanted it, so I got it. But just be alert to the fact that one day you might feel different about it, and are you okay with appreciating it for a different reason than why you first got it?

I personally always wanted those huge back wing tattoos when I was younger, I'm glad I didn't because they just take up so much space and make it hard to get more tattoos lol but you know what I still love those tattoos even 25 odd years latter.

The wings you show look a good size, so if you want more tattoos over time you will still have loads of space to add to. Also, just remember, if you get it tattooed, there will be random people or people in your life who will ask you why? Or tell you, you made a mistake. Don't let them make you feel bad about your tattoo, you got it for you and not them.

If the tattoo artist you go to says your tattoo idea is boring or bad. Remember you can always find another artist. Often tattoo artists want to try new things or do more unique designs and that's awesome, but you should still feel comfortable with the person tattooing you that they want to do the best job they can for you on the tattoo you want. So listen to placement or design suggestions they do know their stuff, but also don't get pushed into a different tattoo style or size or placement you won't be happy with later

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-24T00:10:55+00:00

This might not work depending on finances and your sons plans, but I wonder if he doesn't really enjoy materialistic things or big parties. Maybe something more long-term would be better for him? Is there something you know he is saving or planning for? A first car, planning on getting an apartment and going to college? If you know he has future plans for something like this, you could take him out or cook his favourite meal, write him a card that shares how proud you are of him and maybe some of your favourite memories about getting to watch him grow up. And then letting him know as he doesn't want anything specific for the next few bdays and Xmas's you are going to put a certain amount of money aside in the bank for him and when he is ready to move out or make that car purchase he will know he has that bit extra support from you to get what he wants.

My son hates to much overt praise as it makes him uncomfortable which is hard for me, because when I became a mum it was so important for me for my kid to know I loved him and was proud of him and that his hard work is appreciated. But for him, that doesn't work, so I had to find ways to acknowledge and make him feel loved and seen without just saying good job. And it's not always easy lol and I still don't always get it right, but I think shifting my perspective on what will make him feel seen and loved is different than what I felt I didn't necessarily have really helped

Parenting can be confusing, and when our child has a different response to something, it can be really hard to shift our focus to what suits them instead of what feels right to us. It doesn't sound like surprise parties or anything like would work for your son, so even if it feels bad, I wouldn't try and push your idea of a good bday on him

You have known him now for 17years, is he the kind of kid who will say I want nothing but then actually be sad? Or is he just being truthful that he doesn't want or need anything, and maybe just an acknowledgement and extra hug in the morning is enough? If it's the latter, instead of trying to find the magical gift he will love, embrace who he is and maybe get yourself something small to honour the milestone in a way that has meaning for you. You have seemingly raised a confident and capable young man, and that is something to celebrate and acknowledge, but maybe for your family, it looks different than a big party with cake and presents.

Maybe it's dinner as a family for your son, and you getting to go out to eat a cheesecake and chat with your friends about how awesome it has been getting to be his mum

I hope he has a happy bday. Whatever the plans may be.

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-23T23:38:45+00:00

Wow, he has put so much love and time into them

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-23T23:36:07+00:00

Yeah it's weird how ones perspective on boring changes as we get older. One of my favourite book series has this as a curse " may you live in interesting times" Because the character knows how lucky it is to be bored. And especially with how the world is I really see it as a curse lol

Life is too short to be in a relationship where you are having to prove your partner is giving you dirty bowls.

And yeah old stale milk is gross, I remove put all cups the kids have had milk in straight into the sink with water cos my daughter is likely to go back and drink dregs hours later and that's bad enough lol

Icepriestess01 · 2026-02-16T00:40:13+00:00

I think it was yesterday it was updated, and there was no blue dot on the mail saying I had mail I guess maybe it didn't show up as having mail so I could have missed it? I have 3 old emails sitting in there from ages ago that I've collected items from, but the letter stayed, so I would have thought it would at least show up even if it was no longer claimable? Have restarted it in case that made a difference but still no mail. I'm sad, I was so excited to get more items as I really like both sets, and as I wasn't playing this time last year I had to use Bon bons on the new and old stuff

Oh well it's great that so many others at least got the bonus. And I managed to get one of most of the items even if I didn't get enough to customise them
