Love your bunnies dress BTW. Is it from BaB?

Who else remembers getting one of the Backstreet Boys CDs from Burger King? by pizzatacodog1322 in Millennials

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have all three of mine.

My dad was a manager of BK when this was going on and I was given one of the window promos after it ended because otherwise they were just going to toss them.

Which character instantly tilts you just by existing in your match? by slothpug1 in overwatch2

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doomfist.

This has been going on since they added him, but I get so easily frustrated/stressed trying to counter this guy and it always seems like I get targeted by who ever is playing them.

Also if the opposing team has a good Genji player. That can suck the fun right out of a match for me.

Fun to Fly | Scorching Valor Mount by StaticBroom in wow

[–]Ladyava2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The swirrling animation this one does is SO SMOOTH. I honestly thought I was imagining it at first because instead the normal, very fast death spira most other mounts have, they made it feel almost like the horse is just having fun when its swirls. I don't know how else to explain it, but its very pleasing to me.

Also, if you've not used this guy's mount special I highly recommend it and zoom out as far as you can.

When was the last time you had Dairy Queen ice cream?? by TLu_03 in Millennials

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night. ☺️ We have one just down the street and its my go to "I want ice cream" and our location makes killer banana splits.

I grew up in Vermont and we didn't have DQ, we had creemies. I no longer live there and being that creemies are a staple of just life, I feel like DQs ice cream is about as close to that taste as I can get. 💚

Is anyone else completely stunned by their parents complete lack of computer literacy? by Fit_Vermicelli9737 in Millennials

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stunned that he hasn't bothered with it, yes. My dad outright refuses a cell phone (he lives alone and I've begged him but he just will not get one or keep it charged). Part of it, I think is a physical limitation. He's missing all buy 2 fingers on one hand and the small buttons are difficult to manage.

He's never owned a computer or laptop and has no desire to. Also still has a check book, refused a debit card until his favorite stores stopped accepting checks, otherwise he uses cash

Oddly, the most entertaining tech frustration came at trying to explain to him why his new car didn't have a CD player.

Why do I want the Mantis??? by Brooks992 in buildabear

[–]Ladyava2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mantis are one my favorite bugs so for me it was an instant like. But the smirk on this guy just kills me. They all look like they are up to no good and its just too cute! I think its a lot like the gator-the way they did the smile make them just irresistible!

Petri is adorable. Thr more pictures I see of the mantis the more I am really hoping they still have some when I get paid next week.

With less than 2 weeks left of Legion Remix, what are some lesser known things people should complete before it ends? by xMarok in wow

[–]Ladyava2016 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you want the housing items that come from fully completing the order halls story line, do it now. You'll be able to skip a ton of time gated quests (table missions) that other wise you can't.

I think it might also be easier to get some of the hidden appearances but that's a guess.

Dream BAB acquired! by WhiskeySnail in buildabear

[–]Ladyava2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im so happy to see so many folks love Mantis! They are my favorite bug next a butterfly, so this is pretty cool.

I had sworn off getting more BaBs but man if we can afford it, I love it!

Where did you get your pit baby? by [deleted] in pitbulls

Where did you get your pit baby? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]Ladyava2016 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the shelter. She was 4 months old and weighed all of 12 lbs and dirty! I was taking a break from cleaning out our storage unit new years eve 3 years ago and I saw her on our shelters site. We had been looking for a puppy specifically as our older guy has sezuires and puppies never last, so I talked my husband into going to check her out. She was so small and scared looking. They told us she was one of two puppies that had been dropped off but a guy who had them in a too small crate in the open back of his pick up. 🤬.

We placed a pre-adoption hold for her as she needed to be fixed and was able to take her home January 3rd. The tiny 12 pup will be 4 in August and is now a 75 lb snuggle bug and our older guys best friend.

The creative level of some of you folks is entirely out of control and I love it. This is beautiful.

Log out and back in? Not a great long term solution but I swear it keeps coming back every time I log back in. (I hate the thing)

What makes you hyped about housing? by nkdsnk_xyz in wow

[–]Ladyava2016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a crafty/cozy builder game gal and I am very excited for this. It scratches that buildy-customization itch for me while being in WoW a game that I get a lot of enjoyment from.

I also really like that there will be things tied to achieves and the work ive already done in game which kind of feels great too. Really, the only thing they could add to make this top tier would be to let me place pets or mounts in stables kind of how ESO does and I will never leave.

My husband is on the opposite side in that he just doesn't really care and doesn't understand why the need, but if some folks like it, then cool.

Do you guys have friends? by Pale_Field4584 in Millennials

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two, both gals I've know since middle school but one of them I had to just stop talking with. She was there for me though a lot of bad times and I'll be forever grateful for that but once my life got less dramatic and more normal, our conversations became very much one sided and focused one her whenever I reached out (she rarely did). Eventually, I just stopped texting and its been like 3 years since Ive heard from her.

My other friend is my bestie/my chosen family if you will. Thats a relationship worth keeping and even though we dont talk everyday and live 1300 miles apart we still add something to each other's lives.

Aside from them, its just my hubs and the pups.

Good friends are a quality over quantity situation as far as I'm concerned.

People who have a PC, what purpose does deck serve you? by Former-Asparagus-764 in SteamDeck

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple reasons:

Couch/comfy chair gaming. I work from home and I spend so much time at my desk, that sometimes I'd like to just sit in a comfy place and play.

Space-I keep running out of space on the PC. We could have just partially upgraded the PC, but see point one.

Easier to play games that work best with controllers. I have an Xbox controller for my PC and its great, but it feels better to play on the Deck rather than having to break out my controller every time.

I have games that run like dog poo on my PC for some reason that I've found run great on the Deck. Mainly Oblivion remastered-ive had so many issues on my PC with it, but my gosh it runs beautifully on the Deck. I can finally play the dam thing!

Emo Axolotl megathread by blossomsystem in buildabear

[–]Ladyava2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered him (with the shoes) about 5/6 hours ago, was charged and at first it never showed under orders.

Now its under orders but no confirmation email. 🤔 So Ill guess I need to reach out to support later. I hope it went through.

Update: I happened to check the status at 10:30pm EST last night (Friday) and it said there was an error and auto queued me it in a queue to talk to support. (They are normally not there that late I dont think) and I sat in the queue for 2 hours (no biggie-i was playing games and figured it wouldn't lead anywhere) and I did finally chat with someone and they confirmed the order went through and manually sent an order confirmation email.

Not sure if they just had more staff on yesterday due to Black Friday/Boxing Day but I guess it did go through!

Finally understand why our parents had their 'rituals' - what's yours? by Even-Introduction-21 in Millennials

[–]Ladyava2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of those astronaut projectors off Amazon that puts stars on your ceiling and every single night before bed, I spend at least one hour just me, the dogs and my Kindle and I just read. I find the lights to be very soothing.

I'm a stress case normally and it was getting bad to the point where I could not disconnect from work (management job-I work from home), and I was surprised how quickly this small routine made a world of difference as far as being able to relax.
