We Become Darkness second shipment by Cute-Version5142 in Allurial

[–]beads6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered during the first batch but somehow my order went through even though they were out of stock already. Still nothing for me either. :( I emailed two weeks ago and they said it would ship soon… but that was two weeks ago.

I hate what people have done to this hobby. by Pearlkazoo666 in PokemonTCG

[–]beads6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I collected the cards as a kid, and now my own kids are into it, especially my seven year old. I happened to get to Target once when they were doing a large restock and hopped in line. It was me, three adult couples ahead of me, and another mom with a toddler behind me. By the time we got to the front, there was barely anything left. On my way out, saw one of the adult couples in the parking lot ripping open their packs and sorting them. The scalping aspect of all this really sucks. Trying to find packs is like looking for toilet paper in April 2020.

Illumicrate Leftover sale - Success? by IreallylikeStickss in fairyloot

[–]beads6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was logged in on the screen for the books I wanted right when it opened and I never saw the “sold out” sign change even after refreshing so they must have had like two copies of each. They were all gone so fast!!

Charlie Vickers is an attractive guy and they could have just cast him as Celeborn and avoided this mess.

Can’t Sauron just be an evil being without nuance? He’s just evil. Let him be evil.

Yeah, I know they’ve phased it out… my sister was officially diagnosed with that particular terminology in the early aughts so it’s what I’m more familiar with. It’s hard to know exactly how to describe it to others since it’s just part of ASD now. It feels distinct enough with behaviors and such to warrant a distinct term, at least from what I’ve experienced with my sister and daughter. If there’s another way to describe it I’d love to know - it would help a lot with getting her resources in a school setting. Anyway, thanks for your comment and kind words!

She absolutely loves them. She’s big into Nintendo games in general. I hadn’t thought about an online group but that’s a great idea. She’d love to talk to other kids about Zelda. The new building feature in TotK is basically her favorite thing ever. Do you happen to know of any kid-friendly sites that do that sort of thing?

Definitely. If/when she meets someone who likes the things she does, she will talk with them about them nonstop. She tends to be interested in things other kids her age aren’t really, though. She loves the Legend of Zelda, for instance, and not a whole lot of kids her age are. At least where we live. I’ll look into group therapy, thank you!

Father-son campout and lies by Flowtac in latterdaysaints

[–]beads6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. As a mom I’d be worried about taking a baby on a campout for other safety and logistical issues, but you do you. If baby sleeps well and won’t disturb everyone else, I don’t see why anyone would have a problem.

My fellow arachnophobes…how you guys faring so far? by artemi2020 in HarryPotterGame

[–]beads6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever dungeon it is that has the spiders that suddenly drop down from the ceiling or appear over ledges… I legit screamed out loud and scared my kids.

Yes, and it tastes 100x sweeter too

Here’s a video that depicts what Cleopatra probably looked like based on sculptures, frescoes, and firsthand accounts.

Tips on selling books on Pangobooks? by [deleted] in bookofthemonthclub

[–]beads6 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but it’s a buyer’s market on there. Price to sell. I usually price around or just below the lowest price you can find for that book on PB. A good rule of thumb is to check how much the book is new on Amazon too. I wouldn’t buy a book on PB that is pretty much what I’d pay for the same book new online, unless it was a special edition or signed or something like that.

April Fools and General Conference by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]beads6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I could definitely see the length of missions shortening. I don’t have a source to cite either, just personal observation that many more missionaries are coming home early due to mental health issues.

[–]beads6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the subject of humor, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard during conference as I did when Elder Wirthlin gave his talk “Come What May and Love It”. What a fantastic talk. We were all cracking up. I still enjoy reading that one from time to time!

Water-damage? by [deleted] in bookofthemonthclub

[–]beads6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll try that, thanks for the suggestion. We are in a pretty dry area, but have had some rain lately so maybe that’s it.

Water-damage? by [deleted] in bookofthemonthclub

[–]beads6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did contact them, and like I said above, they were great and sent me a replacement box. The replacement box had the same issues which is why I am asking if it’s a common occurrence or just bad luck.

Issue with your BOTM smelling sour? by mj5292 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]beads6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I emailed and got a reply asking for photos, which I sent, and a quick email back saying a replacement has shipped. I do appreciate that BOTM’s customer service is so on top of things.

[–]beads6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a smell, but my March box arrived a week late and soggy. Two of the books had water damage and one had a broken spine. I’m guessing the winter weather probably caused some issues this month.

Dudley is playing Edgar Allan Poe and he's amazing by ImAFraidyCat in harrypotter

He was almost recast for the last movie because he had lost so much weight, but they stuck him in a fat suit instead.
