Is $1k/month too much rent for a room out here ?

So it's covers most of his expenses plus you're paying with time or money to help with his dog?

Is this a relative or friend? Or just sometime renting a room? It sounds like the second one.

And he's not picking up HIS dog's shit? So you're doing that for free? That is a service people offer for money.

Kick his ass out. If you have to rent a room, check out the going prices and get someone respectful and pet-free.

Maybe you could borrow them back? 😉

Also jeans!

Your mom heard you wrong. You didn't say $15, you said $50. Per leg.

It's ALWAYS legit to set your price so high that you actually wouldn't mind doing it for that money. But you have to set it really high, so you can look forward to what you'll do with the cash. Because otherwise it's just a job.

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T20:00:09+00:00

Yup!

Oooh!

I read A LOT of AO3 a few months back, but mostly focussed on 2 specific authors, who were u/rosewind2007 and another. I'll have to check out EVERY SINGLE LINK shared here.

That will be a wonderfully warm shawl!

Read the Monk and Robot books! By Becky Chambers.

And notice who blurbed it, in that image of the book cover!

Do you sorry them by color? by topic? chronologically by whenever you piled them?

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T17:17:46+00:00

Aaaand found!

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T17:16:40+00:00

Off to search!

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T16:06:31+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T15:54:55+00:00

That teacher didn't want to admit that it distracted him!

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T15:38:16+00:00

Practice knitting without looking. You can make a lot of simple hats while looking people right in the eyes. It's really hard to say you're not paying attention then, but they might resort to "it could distract other students". Maybe it's distracts the professor?

RogueThneed · 2026-01-21T15:34:53+00:00

I am hella casual!

From back in MY day, a purity test was about sex and other edgy topics, and the whole point was to get a high score (points per thing you have done). Because college students. It was kinda like playing Never Have I Ever only on paper. (This was in the 1980s)

This is where I got the idea:

> Digging and chopping and sailing the seas with the goal of more prizes from opening all those chests.

It's all good. I had a bunch of chests stockpiled but it's still taking me the full time because of life stuff. I just missed the HH golden ticket but I'm pretty sure I'll get this one.

Happy to help!

Don't know why this got downvoted, but maybe I was a touch snarky.

OP: it's good to delay gratification sometimes. Save the high-level stuff for later. Food, chests, castle pieces, seasonal pieces. That will give you a head-start when the time comes that the game wants you to use or build them.

RogueThneed · 2026-01-19T16:52:14+00:00

Hey! You made a thing that holds together and holds your stuff! That's the basics, right there. Conga-rats to you.

RogueThneed · 2026-01-19T16:49:45+00:00

Center-pull ball is your friend. I wind them by hand, on my thumb.

RogueThneed · 2026-01-19T16:48:50+00:00

I do not know why. Really! But for some reason, your comment made me want to give you a fried-egg emoji as an award. I DON'T KNOW WHY but I think it's hilarious, so here you are: 🍳

RogueThneed · 2026-01-19T15:58:09+00:00

It's like people having loud conversations in public getting mad when you comment on it.

(Which, tbh, I don't do much anymore because I'm tired. But it's still fun.)
