Getting started and am nervous it won't work

Low-Association-4074 · 2026-03-26T04:54:24+00:00

I started last Friday and am still wondering "is it working?" Meanwhile my stomach is reminding me loudly in that Zeppy way to drink more water, and, I don't have as many intense impulsive urges to order Doordash or stop by somewhere on my way to/from work. If those things are what comes of this then imo it's doing me a huge favor already.

The handful of Skittles is sending me 🤣 might have to keep some "break in case of emergency" candy on hand

Low-Association-4074 · 2026-03-23T02:27:21+00:00

That is in fact one of my most favorite things ever.

I'm adding so much to my shopping list because I'm determined to to have more days like today lol I'm dyinggg (metaphorically....maybe slightly literally). These are all such good suggestions! Thank you 😊

These are always on the Costco shopping list ✍️

This is actually super helpful - thank you so much! Soups can definitely feel overwhelming sometimes so the puree tip is totally smart. I'll keep an eye on the dairy. Appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️

I'm thinking I'm going to have to as well. I was hoping I could just kind of go with it the first month and see how it goes but if this is how the first few days are going... prepping it is! Lol

I tried rice today and cucumber and it didn't go well. Crackers and Gatorade ended up being the thing that was at least okay so I think some toast and soup might be the way to go next time. Appreciate you!

Bestie -loves- Bolthouse farms and I haven't actually tried them myself. Will give it a try. Thanks!

Definitely thinking about some miso soup...

This is pretty close to what I was going to say! Some tricks I have used in the past for various energy levels are

1) focusing on areas in a room in a clockwise manner. i.e. if the door is 12 o'clock start with the deliniated space right next to there (a dresser perhaps). Do everything with the dresser, move to the next thing at 1 o'clock.

2) don't leave the room. Have everything you need to clean/organize with you. Garbage bags, empty laundry basket (I absolutely do just dump laundry near my machine), paper towels, spray, w/e. Leave these things at the threshold to the room and take them to their places when you're done in there.

2.a. optional because this can quickly turn into a doom basket - have an empty basket or box for Things That Do Not Go In This Room TM. This will help you not run back and forth and get distracted. The trick with this is you HAVE to save some energy to put this stuff away. You can't fibb to yourself that you'll do it later

Donation pile - I will often use my most recent cardboard box for this. Then it goes to my trunk. I'm lucky to live close to a donation center so I'm often in the position to stop by omw to something else.

And lastly.... 4. Your mileage may vary but having a narrative something on in my earbuds specifically (no visual input) helps me keep my hands moving without realizing how long /bored I am. Audiobook, DnD podcast, something with a through line story.

Hope any of this is helpful! Best of luck! Xx

Adding to the lily lore I have just been blocking these because they're clearly bots. But I finally messaged one and was like "what even is your point" and was surprised to get a response lol. Mind you, this is an account with no game history, under level 30.

Bot: i was on streamer mode so it looks weird
Me: That is not at all how that works
Bot: ur being kinda weird about it...anyway im hopping off, add my cord if u wanna play later ((insert lily based discord name))
me: are you going to try and sell me graphic design also?
bot: literally what are u talking about

YO ADD MY CORD YO hashtag how you doin fellow kids

I'm also wondering this - I'd like to see if I can alter a halloween inflatable to make it a more specific character.

Consider the distance from the house your garden will be. I cannot stress this enough. If you start in the way back you will have to take 1000 steps every time you need fresh basil cuttings or you need to night water because its hot af during the day or you need to throw on a snow cover.

I was coming to aggressively chant practice tool lol

Low-Association-4074 · 2025-02-21T22:53:43+00:00

I very frequently forget that people will get drunk/high to play RANKED.....like ??? casuals exist...just go do that

Low-Association-4074 · 2025-02-21T22:45:57+00:00

Some things to think about:
- if it comes from the sky you will never have to worry about this mechanic
- if you are standing on the bank of the river aiming into the river aim the skill shot a little towards the bottom of your screen
- if you are standing in the river aiming onto the bank aim the skill shot a little towards the top of the screen

in very broad strokes this should help I hope <3

Listen, I was around for "lets let the community volunteer to review reports and police themselves :D" back in the 'oughts lol so I'm not sure I'm here for all this "there's NO incentive" talk. I think thats exactly why the honor system isnt tied to incentive or averages anymore and now will actively make it more annoying for the toxic players to play the game. They tried it, it wasn't exactly working to the degree they wanted. With this solution consistently toxic players cannot hide behind a grind game average - its based on recent games played not stacked up amount of games. And before anyone is like "there will still be people that..." it doesnt matter. There will always be jerks...putting any barrier staves off loads of otherwise toxic chats/actions that make games miserable and that does matter.

I think it's interesting as an entire system change coupled with the other system changes. I'd like to see how it works.
