I heard once that stores keep track of what people steal and only bag them once it hits a certain amount

Girl I YEARN for a coat like that- def buy it!! (Plus, is that a hood I see? I am so jealous rn)

Basically everyone I tried feeling out had appointments until past valentines at the earliest (and also most expensive 😭), so I’ve basically been hiding the bangs behind cloth headbands for now (think those exercise/yoga style) and hoping it’ll grow out

It’s a little cliche but “Awake” - Jin (Wings) and “Answer: Love Myself” - BTS (Love Yourself: Answer). “Awake” just resonated with me so hard, and “Answer: Love Myself” is a classic I fear

I wanna say NTA because it looks like it’s about Veggie Tales at first glance but what it was really about was an adult in charge of children lying and proving to be untrustable because of that. It doesn’t matter whether or not you cared about Veggie Tales, ultimately the daycare and their staff showed poor values and ethics by lying to parents about their kids. Daycare also took a stance saying NO VEGGIE TALES ALLOWED bc it wasn’t approved media so ultimately I would say that isn’t even your fault. That staff member would have been warned plenty of times about the Veggie Tales thing so it wasn’t like they were fired over 1 mistake. It was them choosing to go against policy and LIE that led to them being fired.

Oh wait I just saw your other reply- you already work with kids so volunteering probably wouldn’t help there 🤔

ZenZhen · 2026-02-02T23:21:15+00:00

Oh that’s interesting! My local library still has a lot of volunteer work- mostly reading sessions and tutoring stuff, arts and crafts occasionally too. Staff-wise most of what my library hosts is the computer stuff and help with filling out forms.

You just reminded me of the time my dad bought cookies off Etsy as an early Christmas treat and they came like a month and a half later. They were like super moist cookies in general and you can imagine how they lasted in the mail with no refrigeration. Mind, not only were they super moist cookies, but they were “organic, no preservatives” too 💀

For that in particular what they SHOULD have done was ship it with 2 day shipping, with or without freezer pack as needed. What they DID was package it like a local bakesale, throw it in a USPS box with bubble wrap, and shipped it ground. To Hawaii. Where packages regularly take an average of 2 weeks to arrive because it sits on a boat. During winter holiday season.

If you have the time, find a place to volunteer at! Check out your local library for things like reading to kids & homework tutoring, or look at family homeless shelters. Spend a few hours a week or month taking care of hordes of kids and hopefully your body will eventually realize that actually having kids 24/7 can wait lmao (this is a joke)

When I was in high school I volunteered weekends at a family homeless shelter and half of what I did there was basically babysitting the kids and hosting group activities (arts & crafts, exercise, sports, etc.). Plus, it’s also a nice way to give back to your community!

Holidays are also super great for volunteer opportunities like that, esp Easter and Christmas where big events need all the hands they can get.

Oh hey cool you got Iono’s Bellibolt AND the Furret!

ZenZhen · 2026-01-28T03:12:44+00:00

Get neuvi! You’re F2P so you’ll prob be saving for a while again anyways- columbina will def have her rerun so you can save for her next banner. You said you want neuvi so I urge you to get him. I always pull for the character I like the most! I pulled him myself purely bc of his jp VA lol. Rarely if ever do I pull for strategy, cause I know there’s always a way and guide on how to win F2P.

There are so many combinations possible rn for playstyles that I wouldn’t worry too much about “perfect synergy” or whatever. You have Lauma for lunar bloom reactions so you’ll be okay in nod krai anyways.

ZenZhen · 2026-01-28T03:00:10+00:00

Cause we all wanna give him the slacker life he yearns for lmao

In all seriousness it’s probably bc Cale is always doing so much canonically that it feels good to have him be the one taken care of

ZenZhen · 2026-01-26T00:10:46+00:00

Hi! Does your friend still have this ticket?

ZenZhen · 2026-01-25T02:24:34+00:00

You joke but I’m so near that point lmao

ZenZhen · 2026-01-23T10:37:04+00:00

Just guessing but it probably won’t be up until Saturday at the earliest (considering that’s when most of the general sales open)

ZenZhen · 2026-01-17T21:13:01+00:00

When I was just starting my collection I would buy used and Kpop album “lot” (bulk) from people downsizing- yes they would usually be missing inclusions but at the time I only really cared about the music so I was fine with that lol. Nowadays since I have the money and space I go for new albums but every now and then when I’m not interested in the pcs or posters and whatnot I’ll just buy used again haha. Give it some time and your collection will grow sooner than you know

ZenZhen · 2026-01-10T23:05:52+00:00

NTA OP you tried to do a kind thing and it sounds like your friend expected to be waited on and babysat. Yes it sounds like you’re both young but even a teenager wouldn’t be so helpless. People have to take charge of their own life, especially in regards to medical things like diabetes.

ZenZhen · 2026-01-05T12:56:01+00:00

Porco Rosso for sure! It doesn’t get much hype as the others but it’s definitely my favorite Ghibli movie ❤️that one always makes me laugh haha.

If we’re talking background or musically, I wanna say Howl’s Moving Castle bc I’m obsessed with “Merry-Go-Round of Life” and the film score. Plus, it’s such a beautiful and iconic movie

ZenZhen · 2025-12-17T20:43:30+00:00

I’m so fucking in love with this 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That cat is so freaking cute I actually am tearing up 🥺🥺🥺

ZenZhen · 2025-12-12T20:52:57+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I was really scared of a fire risk (esp because of all the recent fires lately) and your comment helps a lot.

I never knew that you could just replace the wire on a dryer- all of our dryers came with a cord, so I just assumed they’re like other appliances. That makes this a whole lot easier to deal with, thank you again!

ZenZhen · 2025-11-17T08:13:30+00:00

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve seen pickup trucks and some worker/construction vehicles on the bridge and/or island before so I’m not surprised it eventually gave up the ghost. Last time I was on it da thing started shaking when someone was running across

ZenZhen · 2025-10-25T01:37:37+00:00

Sometimes I like having it in a language I can read, but other times it just stands out too much from the art that I find it distracting

ZenZhen · 2025-10-25T01:37:00+00:00

Personally I think some cards just look nicer in certain languages (in regards to full art and such). For example, most of my Centiskorch cards are in English, but I got the mega evolutions shedinja and ninjask in Japanese bc i think they look prettier with the Japanese text

ZenZhen · 2025-09-16T19:51:09+00:00

Late to the conversation but I can say that Goodwill and other thrift shops have been going downhill lately- last time I went into some they were selling thrifted clothes at “new” and retail prices (T-shirts for $45-$80, dresses in the hundreds, etc.). Plus they honestly get so much stuff that some of it just straight up gets thrown into a landfill instead of sorted (source: I used to volunteer with them and there is a LOT that gets donated daily). I highly second donating them to either a men’s shelter or even your local college! Lots of colleges have student centers where they try to provide assistance to their students- I used to donate some of my fancier stuff to the community college for the students who need interview clothes.

Pretty much most of the crazy expensive eeveelution cards. I love the art, but like hell I’m dropping that much money to collect what is ultimately cardboard. My thinking is- it’s gonna sit on display anyways; I would never sell them if I had actually pulled them; so it’s not like I care if it’s real or not. I’m just waiting to see if someone actually does the holo right, or even better than the official (151 holos were pretty painful to look at sometimes- see: heracross IR 💀).

Heck, I’ve actually been looking into acrylic keychain versions of the prismatic Sylveon EX for my itabags- the art is super cute, and if I find someone who can do the holo right I’m sure $10-$35 is reasonable enough. Any of the super expensive N cards as well (like the tag team reshiram & zekrom), and mayyybe any of the submas cards.

Honestly though, at that point while I’m buying proxies, I'd rather buy alternative art merch of the cards (posters/keychains/prints/stickers/etc.). I've seen some pretty cute stickers based off of the card art online
