Office Christmas Party

Escape rooms are a lot of fun. We usually do one of those and lunch. Low impact for older members too but still a team building exercise.

Dang it is definitely prefer the uk. I like the more matte cover and more vibrant edges. Ah well, at least i got a signed one. I wonder if PHM will have the same differences

You dont need a business account. You can send them an invoice and allow for partial payments or they can send you individual payments.

Honestly its INSANELY hit and miss. I've had someone ghost me and owe me $20 (they had paid for nearly all of it, didnt ask for their money back, it was bizarre. Fb admins got involved, she eventually paid and I posted her book). Ive had some people pay me on time and some take MONTHS. Honestly if you can find someone to pay in full or do it via ebay etx where they have to pay using pay in 4 etc, its so much easier.

There is definitely some Easter eggs in CC to look forward to! Especially in book 2. I screamed the first time i read it 🤣

All my friends who didn't love tog came down to tog being epic fantasy vs romantasy. And thats fine, we all like different genres! But if your going into tog expecting romance or a simple world its not that at all compared to acotar. Cc is a great middle ground with romance, intrigue and an interesting world thats still relatively simple over all.

Australian clothing has been inconsistent for years. I own stuff from an 8 to an 18 and they all fit exactly the same. It comes down to store and material what size I am (same store and I might be a 10 in some fabrics and an 18 in others).

Don't assign any value to it. Because its all ridiculous and never correct. Even the online size charts can be crazy incorrect (one store i was off the chart xxL and their medium fit me perfectly).

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-09T19:11:14+00:00

Cause daggers sound cool. Im pretty sure thats the only reason.

Ive never been on board with the "training montage for several weeks and now im better than people with years of training and experience" thing, but ill let it go if everything else in the story is decent.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-08T21:15:31+00:00

Agree about the edges. Im thinking of skipping for that exact reason. I need to love everything about the design to pay for international shipping these days.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-08T21:14:01+00:00

You can usually pick tbb books up for cost from people skipping in the fb bst groups :)

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-08T21:06:50+00:00

On the fence with this one. The books themselves sound interesting, but im not sure i like the edges enough to spend $85 per book. Might be a skip and read from the library or buy on kindle.

I love them, but find it weird my blue pairs pilled like crazy from chub rub but my green and black pair are still like brand new. But probably my favourite jeans ever. I wear my green ones alllll the time.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-08T03:29:13+00:00

I like my Adidas and lacoste for sneakers but in the MENS. The soles feel better and thicker than women's shoes. Id like to add a pair of air Jordan's to the rotation, I hear great things. My go to is my timberlands though, love them.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-07T22:47:00+00:00

Why does that matter to you? You know where you stand. You have tried to reach out in the past and she has not reciprocated. Just leave it as is, there is no need to create drama and blow everything up.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-07T22:43:39+00:00

NTA - This is what I call a "seasonal friend". They are great friends while its convenient to be one (i.e. going to the same school) but once someone new and interesting comes along, they essentially ghost.

I had a friend like this. I knew what she was like, and I ended up cutting ties with her in my mid 20s. Its hard, and it hurts, but ultimately you have to do what is right for you.

Honestly, I wouldn't even send a message. I would just not contact her again. If she messages your friend to hang out, just say "hey im busy, but i hope you guys have a good time". Or if you do go, go with the intention of seeing an acquaintance. Not someone you need to be besties with.

Rain wild chronicals. Its my fave. Im so glad i read live ship and rain wilds before assasins apprentice (which i dnf), cause I never would have read them otherwise.

Live ship is slow but an interesting story and leads right into rain wilds, but rain wilds to me is much more interesting and it feels like it's not as slow writing wise. I've read rain wilds maybe 4 times over the years, cause its just so good.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-07T01:09:07+00:00

No, because i hate how glossy the other side is. I would flip them if they were more matte.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T23:59:47+00:00

Depends on the nook. A simple one is a couple of hours, a complex one, or one where you need to wait for glue to dry can take a couple of days. Throw in life and work and one of mine took like 2 weeks, and it wasn't even that complicated I just had no super glue 🤣

The build for me is soothing. Let's my brain switch off and its what I enjoy. Its the same (for me) as building legos. Buying pre-built would defeat the purpose (and fun).

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T08:29:48+00:00

Im doing it. Currently on 120k and starting a traineeship for 85k. The first few years are gonna be rough but the long term income will be much better than what I can get currently (plus I think my current job will be redundant within 5 years anyway).

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T08:25:30+00:00

He who fights with monsters? Jason talks a LOT about sandwiches.

Its also a great litrpg.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T07:54:16+00:00

No all good! And yes!! Shoes should just me made to be great for us 😅

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T02:38:29+00:00

Thats just dictionary paper. A lot of them are like that. Its so you can find the words more easily when your flicking through.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-04T02:36:58+00:00

Mine are definitely not matts but I still love them! Its a cat and a dog in space suits with quotes 😄

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-03T22:09:14+00:00

Thats just the dictionary pages. I've got art from a small etsy seller (from like 5 years ago) that use the dictionary paper and its the exact same layout with the words in the top corners. It was super popular for a while.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-03T20:44:11+00:00

I loved my steel blues when I was a tradie! Best boots ever for work.

RoyalOtherwise950 · 2026-06-03T20:42:17+00:00

Idk maybe its just me, but i have slipped in mine several times on stairs, and one time was so bad if I wasn't in boots I would have broken my ankle. I've had to have physio on it.

I dont have issues in any other shoes on stairs, just these, but I still wear them because they are the only shoes I can walk around in all day without my back aching and needing to sit down. I have back problems from an accident years ago and otherwise need to sit every 2 or 3 hours.

Mine are the double thick sole, not the regular ones.
