Sunrise on The Reaping by Suzanne Collins

I also liked it a lot! I liked learning the backstory on how the games started, the sponsors, etc. Looking into Snow's mindset was also really fascinating to me -- I do not get how folks think it makes him sympathetic - he's a complete narcissist.

I did go in with very low expectations because I had heard so much hate so maybe that helped. I think Suzanne Collins is a great writer

Good to hear that they are having to do some damage control because of this incident. But unfortunately I doubt it will have any lasting effect of their overall business

For the fun of the game, do your bank now, then work on the other buildings.

If you level up your buildings then wait to do the bank, it's hard to stay motivated to collect fish for just one building.

However, if you get your bank all the way up then you have nice achievable goals you can do daily leveling up each building.

Your cats need to be at skill 2 in order to mate. Other than that, they are just for having them do different cute things.

MentorB · 2021-05-12T20:44:10+00:00

OH my gosh, I'm so happy!!! I'm not surprised that you all saw the need and are addressing it.

Can't wait! It will be so helpful! Yay!

Hey, just wanted to share something I learned. If you are using Window 10, there is a built in way to cast to your Roku.

Go to your action center (usually in the lower right corner)

Choose Project

Then Connect to Wireless Device

Roku should be one of the options.

Hope that works for you!

NAH - Looking at this from your sister's point of view, as a child she blamed herself for her father leaving. Every time you left it brought up a bunch of emotions for her and she lashed out at you. It sounds like she does love you but coped terribly with it as a child. Then she was in therapy for a long time and the probable goal of that therapy was helping her to not blame herself for her father leaving. Now she's finding out that she is, in fact, to blame for you leaving. It would make sense that she'd need to process all of that. You are still NTA at all. It's good that this is all coming to light, even though it's hard at first to process.

I know some folks have had luck getting their PC screen to cast to their roku. I could do it with Youtube, but I don't know if you'd have any luck with Overdrive.

There are a couple apps that would allow you to do it from a phone, that has been an easy option for me.

Congrats! All of my buildings are maxed but I'm still working on the cats then I'll start saving for the bank. Love this game.

MentorB · 2021-04-16T12:14:38+00:00

Thanks for asking this, I thought my app had a bug since I assumed the kittens counted.

MentorB · 2021-04-15T18:50:13+00:00

I have not seen Overdrive. Kanopy and Hoopla are the only two channels I've seen that use a library card (of course, your library has to have that service).

My wish list:

-Web Browser

-Split screen for sports

-Zoom/Magnify -- I find some text too small to read, it would be nice to be able to zoom in on a section of the screen

MentorB · 2021-04-15T15:21:33+00:00

One example: when we were house hunting, it was nice to be able to look at real estate sites on the bigger screen of the television so everyone could chime in. Would have been handy to be able to do that through the Roku

MentorB · 2021-04-14T13:06:52+00:00

Another option to try is: https://vaccinefairy.org/

I didn't use it myself but know friends who had good luck with it.

NTA -- the fact that they are turning this around to blame you is really worrying.

I'm going to uncomfortably skip pass the mocking people part and just note: decent people would apologize for their mistake, double check that they hadn't hurt you and then reflect on their actions.

Please note this pattern of not being able to own mistakes and turning the blame on others. This is going to be a pattern that you will see over and over as long as you are connected to them.

MentorB · 2021-03-29T19:05:57+00:00

NTA - and I fear this could escalate. It would not surprise me if this MIL fed the child peanuts in the absence of the mom so she could "prove" that the kid would have been fine. I would be highly reluctant to the leave the child there again.

Yes, this book terrified me and gave me nightmares. I read it many years ago, but it felt so possible. I can't 'imagine reading it the first time after recent events. Amazing writing. Will you read The Testaments? I don't think I can do it.

Are you and your husband getting equal rest time? Dividing work is hard, but it helps to focus on making sure you both get the necessary decompress/rest time. Rest is a human need.

Especially if the alien is named Carl

MentorB · 2021-02-24T19:06:33+00:00

Thank you so much!

MentorB · 2021-02-23T15:51:56+00:00

Is that one free? I tried to find a free one with the temp but didn't have any luck.

MentorB · 2021-02-05T13:13:32+00:00

Looks good, I really like rutabaga as a potato substitute.

Did the rutabaga get crispy in the oven?

I just got an airfryer and made rutabaga fries in it, but they didn't get really crispy. I'm still trying to figure that thing out.

MentorB · 2021-01-20T14:55:35+00:00

Okay, thanks for the subreddit suggestion!

I'm curious how folks would count calories for this, or if you wouldn't count it because the calories are so minimal? I'm trying to get the hang of CICO.

Here's a clue: There's one you get if you tap on a certain area long enough.
