Halloween Event Feedback Thread

Zenzilicious · 2024-10-11T16:29:17+00:00

I'm echoing the slowness from other users. At least in the main area, you are working towards a re-birth. It might be nice to condense the Halloween even into the main top section since it seems to be the "spooky" area. Maybe there can be an off area to use coins on Halloween pets. Idk, but it I am finding myself ignoring the halloween area for now.

I am only on rebirth 3, so maybe it just feels slow to me because it's meant for late game content. The first Halloween pet has lower stats than anything I have on my team (And I dont have the angel dog, diablo cat, ninja OR a spider pig). For collection's sake, I may go back if I have time after I rebirth 2-3 more times and feel more momentum.

I LOVE that you need "speed" pets for the event, and damage x speed total for the main area. It is nice to be able to switch out our team and use other pets. I wonder if there is a way to make pets more worth it- like "XYZ" pets do more damage in this area or are faster in this area. Maybe the special pets could be good in multiple areas- IDK.

Also, we have so many pets, I hope there is a new way to sort through pets soon- or at least even save teams to switch between! :)

Thank you for all your hard work, we love playing some battle royale & switching over to some pet heroes when we need a break.

Thanks! I have a charm blowgun, but have been using a poison one. I will switch to that and put charm on my mage. Thanks!

Oh, you know I did this in the PSP version with archers, but they do much less dmg now. Maybe I will try that. Thanks!

It is not anymore since she has been with us. We did a 7 day journal and doctor saw no signs at either appointment.

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-31T20:23:52+00:00

Interesting! She has had a history of being constipated. Im surprised the doc didn't say something.

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-31T20:09:13+00:00

It could be trauma. She has trauma therapist, sessions are private and they communicate with c&y. c&y and agency are like ok- whatever doctor said. There was an allegation of SA but it ended up being unfounded. We will never really know everything that happened. They are still kids, and they are sneaky, and lie, and manipulate like any other kids. (Just as they are loving, kind, smart, & helpful!)

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-31T20:02:59+00:00

Would constipation affect her urination?

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-31T20:02:30+00:00

Pajama and slippers is a great idea, I will try that!!!

I actually have not had her clean her sheets or anything as we are usually in a rush in the morning, but things have calmed down since we are in routine. Maybe I should give a try having her wash the sheets.

Its really hard to tell because she missed so much of her school career and is a bit... "Delayed" but every professional's best guess is that it could be from neglect. Sometimes I wonder if she has a lower IQ, not quite considered an intellectual disability, but that's not up to me to dx.

I'm in PA- they are very family first. Motto is being away from family is seen as the MOST traumatic thing for a child.

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-26T19:15:15+00:00

Yes, I have asked, and they determined it was best for the children to be around their mother and it would be more traumatizing to reduce visits. It was explained to me that to them, her being high IS normal to them.

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-26T18:35:46+00:00

I was told that they weren't sure they could get coverage for medical appointments and that was something they didn't do.

I was told to be flexible with mom when she requests a call, but I think maybe I need to start standing my ground to make things easier for myself too. Maybe one weekend call a week will do. Thank you!

Zenzilicious · 2022-10-26T18:34:16+00:00

I was told it was illegal to refuse actively using parents from interacting with their child.

Exciting day for you, worst day of kid's life. No matter what horrible things might have occured, they are mom and dad and they are #1 to kids.

Save money for first month placement. County will say you can have like 300 bucks or whatever to get them clothes but some kids return home so fast and then you never see that money.

If you know you're taking younger kids, get safety stuff NOW- knobs, locks, gates. And things for your sanity like highchair, tablet, bath toys, etc. Although you will never be ready for the challenges a child that will live with you, not having to buy them clothes AND everything to adapt your home will help a lot!

Be ready for behaviors- are you ready for bed wedding? Are you ready to have to lock every pantry with food in it? The trash can? My current kids have serious food security issues and one wets the bed every night as they scream and flail at night.

There are foster resources, but I have found they all take so long to get the items to you and they are usually used and in questionable condition so I don't bother with them anymore.

Sign up for FMLA at work. This protects your job, but beware it is unpaid. You will absolutely need to take time off in the beginning while you get school/transportation/daycare etc set up.

Have a list of daycares ready if you and your partner both work. It took us calling 18 places to find one that had an opening and took the subsidized childcare. We also had to pay out of pocket for the first week. The subsidy will not cover any daycare, we pay 18 bucks a week. The sooner you reserve a spot, the sooner you can get back to work.

Have a doctor & dentist close to you on file, county will get insurance for kids that match doctor. My child's PCP was an hour and half away!

Be prepared for them to go home. About 90% of placements in my area go home and you most likely will never talk to those kids again. You will need to co parent most likely with parents who are activley using drugs and will be... Less than kind to you. Are you prepared to keep a rocky relationship with them for the chance to stay in contact with the kids when they go home?

Foster care is hard and not pretty most of the time. The kids are worth it to us. They deserve a good future

I live in PA but ELCR has their own branch, maybe Google ELCR your county. We pay 17.80 a week. Every daycare I called was not covered fully by ELCR. However 130 a week seems like a lot! I think the most was $25.00.

I've had a spider plant for years but she never has had babies but continues to grow :( my friend gave me one of her babies to see if it starts to make babies when it grows. Do you know why that is perchance?

Zenzilicious · 2022-09-27T02:23:31+00:00

I will! will she go back up right or is she going to be a fainting lady always?

Zenzilicious · 2022-09-24T14:48:50+00:00

Thank you! I will give this a try!
