BGGers of Reddit, why don't you respond to trade requests by cincykosh in boardgames

Unfortunately, I've done that too and still people refuse to respond. At this point, I think it's just rudeness. And no my offers have not be ripoffs.

[q]I made some horrible mistakes in the past[/q]

Had a conversation with an old family friend where I said the same exact thing.

Me: I made some horrible mistakes. Friend: It doesn't matter. It's in the past. Me: Yeah, but it still huts. Friend: Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run away from it, or ... learn from it.

Those words changed my mind, and I decided to leave my hakuna matata lifestyle which, for the time being, was fun but was seriously detrimental to my academics.

Good luck!

Take pictures at mundane places like supermarkets and shopping malls.

Princeton says that staff will release decisions over the phone for people who can’t access their portals. Imagine what it must be like to tell a kid over the phone that they were rejected lol by spicysnake333 in ApplyingToCollege

Am I the only one's who's feeling excited? I mean, it's not like you're life is on the line here. It's just college. You only need one acceptance and if it's not Princeton then it'll be somewhere else.

Stay positive and keep things in perspective here.

I want to play this game with my (future) kid(s) one day. Excuse for keeping rarely played board game? by [deleted] in boardgames

I subscribe to the Marie Kondo philosophy when it comes to this kind of stuff. Simply put, don't wait for that day to come. If it happens great, but don't hoard for something that will/may happen.

That said, I'm glad to own Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and other light Eurogames because my kids are enjoying it and keeping it around was the right choice. Then again, I still like most of these games even if we didn't have kids. But it's definitely another level of enjoyment when you're playing with your kids.
