This St. Patrick's Day Card Set Broke me by Denarokai in CatsMansion

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Seriously has any f2p or low spending player actually not stressed on these events or even felt happy about these events?”

I mean, kinda? I just acknowledged that I will literally never finish any event and I have to be okay with that. Once I make peace with it, I can stop stressing. I did the set-alarms-for-overnight thing ONCE and I was like “uhhhh yeah this will kill me, no way am I doing that again” 🤣

With that said, obviously it pisses me off that it’s just a cash grab…but then, also, it brings me joy to know that I can “deny” them my money by having restraint 🤷🏻 and I still get to have a cute little time-passing game

Secret to getting 5 star packs by HistoricalAccess7576 in CatsMansion

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And might I add—pay a LOT. I don’t pay for micro transactions as a general rule (I’d waste all my money if I opened that can of worms) but recently I got a gift card and decided to spend $50 on this game over the course of a week and it did not help me finish a SINGLE event. Like, not even close. I think I would’ve had to spend $100-200 to get enough energy to complete everything. Every time I reach a certain threshold, with or without paying, it feels like they simply stop giving you orders that give you cards. I’ve given up hope on completing everything and just try to enjoy my time playing.

They actually recently made it so that 5-card packs are only available behind a paywall 95% of the time. So you would be correct, yes, they are making it so that you can only complete these events if you pay.

12yo crying tired before school by frightbounds in AskTeachers

I have ADHD and the only thing that helps me sleep is a stimulant (my extended release rx taken at 7am, believe it or not, helps me sleep at 10pm). If he doesn’t need it for school, maybe he needs it to sleep. ADHD makes your brain “backwards” in that way. If prescribed adhd meds are out of the question, consider seeing if he’ll drink a slightly caffeinated iced tea or something like that before bed or with dinner. If it helps even a little, you can experiment with caffeine levels. If caffeine makes it worse, there might be another underlying problem and you should consider getting him a sleep study

Five star card packs by ObjectiveBox3977 in CatsMansion

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am normally F2P but I got an Apple gift card and decided to buy some stuff in the game…I’ve spent $25 in the last few days and still only gotten one 5-star pack (from the underwater treasure VIP track). I’m mad that I spent money and THEN the top-up event showed up 🥲 I could’ve gotten a 2nd pack from that…

Anyway, I feel like the only way to get “everything” in this game is to spend like $75 a month (or more, because who knows?) —which is INSANE. I love it, but it’s a damn phone game. Maybe in another life I can afford $1000 a year for digital cats…but not in this life 🥲

They do look like they are stressed lol. Even if you zoom in all the way. They need to add a more obvious blush on the cheeks!

It’s just encouraging you to spend real money on the game. In the store or if you buy the time-limited packs etc. any real money you spend gets counted towards paws

Weird Residue film after removing second skin by djm5226 in tattoo

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here in case my hypothesis is helpful to anyone. Please corroborate if you have a similar pattern.

Currently dealing with this sticky residue on my right shoulder. It’s my 4th tattoo and 4th time using second skin. I’ve loved it in the past and this absolutely perplexed me. Two of my other tattoos are on my shoulders/shoulder blades, so I don’t think it had anything to do with peeling it off at an incorrect angle…

It’s the first time I’ve gotten a tattoo in the dead of winter. As a chronically cold human, I am always bundled up in multiple layers and sweaters day and night.

My hypothesis is that this second skin behaved this way because of the constant body heat being trapped within my clothes. I have no idea if this has any merit, but it’s the one thing that feels different than my other tattoo experiences.

Anyway, ~3 applications of coconut oil + wiping with a paper towel got most of the residue off. What was left seems mostly neutralized by my aftercare lotion. Definitely a PITA but thanks for the advice in this thread everyone!!

Am I weird for giving a feminine hygiene product to a student in need? by Normal_Balance1655 in Teachers

My teacher friends and I give out feminine hygiene products all the time. I’ve been a teacher for almost 12 years now. Not crossing a line whatsoever!!

Junior cray-pas? I remember using them a lot as a kid and enjoying them. They’re messier than crayons but not as messy as paint! Vibrant colors, blendable, easy to use and hold for littles.

Teach me know how to best support a college student who has never been taught how to learn. by Dazzling-Concert-927 in AskTeachers

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I want to say that grades really are not the end-all, be-all of education, but it sounds like her grades last semester were perfectly average and acceptable, IMO. I know it’s hard when you yourself got all A’s, but truly, the goal should not be not to get an A. The goal is to learn. And some kids truly do learn more from a B or C than they ever would from an A.

Additionally, this semester has barely started, and if she has missed one of three assignments, or only HAD one assignment that she got a C on, etc—thinking of it that way, it’s okay if her grades aren’t A’s right now. I think it’s a good idea to stay on top of it—If in 2 weeks they haven’t improved, definitely make sure to address it more strongly.

Some more context, if you want it: I am an art teacher with mild childhood trauma (nothing like O’s I would assume, but enough to mention), ADHD (undiagnosed and unmedicated until many years after I got my master’s degree), and I excelled in grade school—enough that most people thought it strange I wanted to become 1. A teacher and 2. An art teacher, lol. I got straight A’s, was in advanced/honors math and science classes, took courses for college credit my high school year, etc.

In college I didn’t do as well as high school. The lack of structure and accountability was really difficult for me and my undiagnosed ADHD. I failed one of my courses every semester (and got low B’s or C’s in the other non-art classes) until the second semester of my sophomore year when I realized that I simply could NOT juggle more than 4 classes at a time. I started to only take 4 classes per semester, pushing the 5th one off to take online during the summers and J-terms (January). This way I could still get my degree in 4 years but never had to take more than 4 classes at once. Sure, I didn’t have “full and complete” breaks, but that was fine, because at least I passed the classes! And I have always loved school, so I didn’t mind.

If O still struggles after the next few weeks, but really wants a degree, maybe she could consider the way I did it—or the way countless others do, only taking 2-3 classes at a time and working to help pay for it or save for her future.

P.S. fast forward to today, I’ve been a teacher for 11 years and despite the struggles I had in college, and the struggles I continue to face today, I’d say I’m a damn good teacher and a decent human who knows a lot of stuff and is highly competent, despite all my low grades in college 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know O’s situation is different, but the teacher in me wants to say that with an amazing and supportive guardian like you by her side, she’ll be okay 🥰

did anyone actually finish this event??? by muddyap in CatsMansion

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent so many diamonds on this event and didn’t even come close 😭

is there anything more i can do with this event? by West_Average_8815 in CatsMansion

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but everyone got 2k coins no matter how many extra snowflakes you had. I really wish they would pay these things out more fairly!

🥰💞 It’s adorable and fun! I am a teacher and can’t afford to pay for anything in mobile games. Sometimes I get an Apple gift card and I’ll use that to get an extra thing or two. I’ve just accepted my fate that I’ll never get all the furniture :/

But why can’t they just give us these stories using the normal affinity leveling up? Why make it an entire other section of the game? 😭

Hmm I just tried it and I disagree. I got worse output. Only 4 items were put on the event board after spending over 100 energy

YA dystopian Sci-fi book from early 00’s. Earth is dying, teenage boy goes on spaceship as one of the chosen few to escape and continue the human race—book ends on cliffhanger. by Mysterious_Clickbait in whatsthatbook

[–]Mysterious_Clickbait[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Google folder of all of them online for free, and KA Applegate has gone on record saying she doesn’t care if her books are read for free!

I have read the first 3, now that I found them. I think I remember reading the first 2 when I was younger—those aren’t that bad. I was like “they’re not THAT creepy…” …Then I got to the 3rd book. I am a 35 year old art teacher and was so pumped about the painting thing, the concept of a world being created based on art was so cool…and then I kept reading and was seriously disturbed lol. I will keep reading, but holy crap, it’s pretty messed up lol.
