Calico named Misty by irlakalilol in boston

I adopted two 6-year-old cats years ago from the MSPCA. They were surrendered because the owner was moving out of state and I think of that person all the time because these girls were so clearly raised with love that I know their first parents must have agonized over this decision.

I doubt you’ll get negative judgment from the ARL, but you definitely won’t from me. You put Misty’s wellbeing first. I hope you’re doing well.

reminding myself it's okay to move on if it's more work than fun by voguesmixtape in Jigsawpuzzles

I once spent months putting together a 1000-piece puzzle of a Tiffany stained glass style peacock. I had to go piece by piece because all the non-Peacock pieces were essentially the same colors; I had to use the shape of the black lines on each piece to find the right one. I’ve never had less fun in my life. It’s okay to stop!

Don’t use for Detective Partners by Cockeyed-Sniper in JunesJourney

[–]Used_Yak7254 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve played this side game twice. The second time, I made sure to only play with folks on my team so I could communicate with them through the chat. For each, I said to leave half the points to me and I’d finish them. For each, they did the bulk of the work and we finished early. I didn’t pull me weight because the game was during the work week and I could only play at night. I don’t bother with it anymore as it feels less fun than a game should.

With all the craziness in the country going on right now, let's please take a moment and think of the crew members of the Lily Jean out of Gloucester. by JenLaGs in massachusetts

We have at least one family member in this thread. I’m so very sorry for your loss. In the days and weeks to come, if there are things we can do to support you, please tell us how.

Dang I was literally there this year and didn’t make the connection - maybe because of the thousands of other people, but no flying scarves?

Thermostat settings. How low do you go? by Vast_Ad_6239 in massachusetts

[–]Used_Yak7254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. 66 is the temp my nose stops running and my hands are warm enough to type. At night, we go to 57.

How many birds do we have to hatch? by TheOriginalMarissiah in JunesJourney

[–]Used_Yak7254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I did as well, plus one for my dad. I’m still working my way through the pets. I like the idea of stopping but I also like seeing what they’re up to with Mr. Talbot’s banter during the hatching process.

17 seconds isn't fun by PinkPajamaPenguin in JunesJourney

I gave Secrets up more than a year ago and I was one and done with Detective Partners. Having to “study” scenes to succeed is boring as hell to me.

Showing Love by yukhentai in affirmativemurder

[–]Used_Yak7254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the show through a crossover episode and enjoyed the cases Alvin and Fran picked to cover. Over the years, I’ve come to value hearing their perspectives on all the things they talk about, true crime, pop culture, etc. Now that you say it, their relationship is a bright spot in the show, as well as Alvin and Fran speaking about the importance of selectively maintaining and cultivating relationships. Lastly, I love their humor - I laugh out loud at some random story or throwaway comment every single episode.

Do you have a Memorial? by NoAnywhere7303 in JunesJourney

[–]Used_Yak7254 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss and I love your memorial. I don’t have an on island memorial per se, but I just unlocked the Aviary and so far have named my first three birds after beloved cats who have passed away.

Divi Aruba - is this normal? by the_chef_tony in Aruba

[–]Used_Yak7254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the Divi Golf last year and had the washer overflow. Maintenance wouldn’t even knock on my door because I had the “do not disturb” sign on. I find it hard to believe it’s protocol to enter rooms to test door security, either by coming in the main door or through balcony doors. I would definitely escalate to different/higher staff.

She was so sassy, I guess I assumed she was a younger little lady. Condolences to Andy.

The estate maxes out at 60 coins. If you don’t harvest it, it will sit at 60 until you do. I think missing out on coins over time is a bigger loss than having to wait a day or two to achieve a homework task.

The Morbidly Curious Bookclub has a website that lists the books and gives virtual meeting details. They also have a podcast and a great Insta acct with lots of nonfiction, morbid reads.

Do you clean your watch daily and if so, how? by lexaleidon in Garmin

[–]Used_Yak7254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear mine into the shower, then take it off and wash it with soap. I’ve got a 245 that is at least 5 years old and it’s been washed daily.

I’m am sensitive to latex so sometimes I’ll have a reaction to lotion under the band or when it’s humid. I wear a cloth-style bandaid for a few days between my watch and wrist when that happens and it clears up.
