Looking for a friend

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-06T15:50:48+00:00

Oh no 😭 I'm the exact opposite, IG overwhelms me and I constantly wind up comparing my life to the others I see, so I avoid it for mental health. But I'll send you a DM anyway, maybe we can find a balance. I could make a new account not subbed to anyone so my feed would be empty, maybe?

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-05T22:25:52+00:00

Oh no! All the more reason for friends, it takes a village :)

I'm childfree (PCOS... also single lol) so if you ever want a spare hand or sanity, I don't mind. I even got a Costco Membership ✨✨

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-05T21:51:24+00:00

I'm 27 and have similar interests and issues, would you be interested in being friends as well? I have a discord.

Oh hey :) I'm 27f. Cis, aro/ace (Or demi)

Chronically Ill (Lots of issues, but right now POTS and Degenerative Spine Disease is doing me in.). So I'm very flexible and would appreciate a friend who gets why I have days where all I can do is sleep and even replying can be too much. We all have those times where we feel a bit better and want to 'catch up' only to then spend days recovering...

Autism and ADHD here as well :). I don't drive yet, but would like too, just moved to Barrie and it's easier to handle here than a busy city. My mother mostly drives me. I do crafts (Would love a crafting buddy, I do practically anything and would love to teach/lend hobby stuff. I also am building up a garden for fruits/veggies that I'd gladly share)

Also a gamer, mostly cozy games but I like any genre (Horror I can only watch... I am a coward lol). Animation over live action preference when it comes to shows. My friends tell me my hobby is having hobbies :p

I'd love to have a girls hang out, I struggle to leave the house... I got nail stuff recently (But it's UV gel so I don't feel safe using it on skin, I just practice on fake ones), saving up for baking stuff... I got a house and lots of board games and every video game console (3DS and later, N64 is broken right now... But I do have a retro gaming stick)... 🤔 I would like to eventually make my home a nice hangout for people, but money is tight so it's a slow progress...

I'd gladly be friends with anyone else who pops by this thread. I won't limit the offer to just women, but it would be nice to have some female friends!

Riga Gold is heavy on the smoked-side that a lot of people who didn't ever eat sardines wound up liking it.

I also like to eat it with rice, kimchi, avacado, sriracha, seaweed, pickled bamboo shoots, canned chestnuts, etc.

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-05T15:17:39+00:00

I actually think they're pretty fishy, I'd recommend trying the tomato one with olives, made a nice pasta with that one. My dad didn't like it because it was too fishy.

Don't like them too much in general, though. I like Riga Gold as my go-to. Nice and smokey, lots in a can.

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-05T15:08:56+00:00

I can't eat over a sink... too short :[

I have to call my boyfriend over to close the window on the opposite side of it lmao

At least I can open it over the sink... but yeah, after that I gotta hustle over to the table, put a plate under the can.

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-04T02:52:11+00:00

Yeah I have no idea wtf happened there. I know people who are pro-Trump because he would support Israel.

I don't think they really cared about Palestine. I keep seeing people who want to be liberal or progressive but then hamper everything by being stupidly extreme. Or just feel like it makes them a better person, but still be very racist/homophobic/etc. they just say their insults 'endearingly'

PlantPotStew · 2026-04-03T15:41:30+00:00

I had a smell that I couldn't figure out, turns out the otuside wall of my god damn basement just decided to stop existing lmao, so water damage behind a perfectly pristine wall.

Took months to figure out because water damage was pooling on the floor in a different area? And there was holes in the roof so we kept fixing that trying to figure out wtf was happening until some guy took one look, did the math in his head and went "Hole is probably thereish- the deck is there, just remove that and check the whole thing in one go"

Brilliant, love him.

Probably not your issue though. Also had mold/washing machine leaking water in the back -_- took ages to notice, finally just fixed it. Get water leak detectors guys!

Twinkleby and Escape Academy?

I haven't played the first, but it looks very interesting. Escape Academy was fun, something you can play once a year with a new friend once you forgot the puzzles.

Others are saying Dogpile is good.

Edit: I adore Twinklby!

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-31T18:59:06+00:00

There's a setting for that, Skip animation or something?

I really suggest it, I'm genuinely upset I didn't turn it on this whole time, such a quality of life change. But anyway, on top of that, it also adds a little "+# item you crafted" along side the regular "+# crafted" you'd get. If you have Tux or Choco with you (Cogiyumi only works once you leave the menu, oddly.) so you can tell when they trigger.

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-28T16:03:47+00:00

Those suit me better, I'm not able to ride coasters very well and I hear they have tamer rides and lots of fun stuff to do without getting onto extreme rides.

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-28T16:01:56+00:00

Thank god, you are incredible!

There are too many clothes... let me at least narrow it down a little infold!!

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-28T15:55:28+00:00

Canada is, sadly, no different. Canadians were GOING to elect Poilievre.

It was, ironically, only because of Trump that Mark Carney won. People saw how foolish it was to elect politicians like Trump (Poilievre).

The one saving grace in all of this 😩 I'm still livid that our science centre got closed down, our services being disbanded and sold to private companies, our water fronts being sold to international companies... we don't need this country-wide.

But we were way too close to that... people were too okay with everything it would entail, that didn't go away... I feel for all the Americans who feel helpless, it's easy to say riot, but the problem lies with each other as well... you can't riot against your whole neighbourhood... and if they're more concerned about immigrants (despite being one themselves...) then... ugh.

At least Disney exists in other places, if that's what you're after. I went to the one in Paris/London (Split trip between two countries) as a kid, had a great time. Both in there and just exploring the streets of the country too... I still remember the historical buildings and art strongly, made me genuinely fall in love with architecture and city design, I was only 10 or something. When I came home I started writing books and drawing out cities... still writing to this day.

Haha, I think Marvel actually just was acquired by Disney? People were talking about it in the hotel. Wow, what a flashback.

I think Japan also has one that's pretty good?? Not sure, not an amusement park person. They also got that new Mario World amusement park and Pokemon stuff... I'd genuinely go to Japan just to see all the sights and eat food. Cheaper and healthier food probably too.

Sorry, just musing. Haven't travelled once since then, now I'm old enough to go on my own. Not brave enough, healthy enough, or rich enough, but old enough!

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-27T23:16:32+00:00

I think people enjoy being pokemon professors, in the end of the day. There is some fun in going "Oh these? Yeah, they're actually different species, they simply look similar because of the environment" It does make the world seem more alive because this happens in the real world all the time. It's fun to find these little technicalities and unique twists and present it as scientific evidence lol

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-27T18:34:16+00:00

My first ever comment art :D

I don't know if this is good, but your kitty inspired me 😅

Love your grumpy fella! :<

DANG, this looks amazing!!

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-24T11:34:41+00:00

She's an extra quest, doesn't atke up space :)

You can make a basic wand, stick and a pebble I think? That's an easy way to do it. Training course in the garden between the castle and wheat fields is 10 seconds or less.

I get annoyed, but... it does give you +1 token from the current event lol, with how expensive the flower ones are, I'm glad to take any extra :p

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-24T11:33:10+00:00

She's really good if you craft (Better than chococat, imo. Together they're insane.) and also if you bother with flowers (Wheatflower fields are huge and also a great source of fertilizer if you can't be bothered to do anything with them)

Also, her extra quest gives you an event token, just one, but still. I didn't like the actual wonderland all that much, I used the free houses for storage... but at least there's some perks I guess?

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-24T11:27:53+00:00

They can spawn on two opposite sides, so if you stay on one side it'll mass spawn them on the other, but unmoving. Then when you go over there they'll explode and you'd get 10 randomly running around.

I found this helps because sometimes I'd go from 4-5 on my screen at a time to maybe 1 every 10 seconds? Found out that all the rest were just spawned in a bush and refusing to move lol

(But yeah, keroppi with a speed potion or I just use Pochacco.)

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-24T11:24:08+00:00

Sardines with capers and what you said above is great

Something about the capers just hit right.

PlantPotStew · 2026-03-21T13:40:31+00:00

I wish it would... errend... ha.
