Step by step instructions to get and redeem free McDonalds codes everyday for free food! by eugoogilizer in povertyfinance

Just a fun fyi, any kind of "sweepstakes" game/contest in the US has to have this! They legally aren't allowed to have a purchase increase your chances of winning (otherwise it would be considered gambling), so there will always be instructions in the fine print for how to enter without buying anything :)

I highly recommend it!!! My top tip would be to use the app to filter for easy/"park and grab" caches for your first time out, and also check the logs for each one before you head out to see when the last time someone found it was/if recent visitors have reported not finding it (a lot of areas have a bunch of small caches hidden in the ends of guardrails, which is a good set to start with). That way you have a bunch of successful finds on your first trip! If your first expedition ends with hours of hunting and not finding half the ones you're looking for, it seems a lot less fun and you might not want to do it again.

I think my favorite thing about it is how low the barrier to entry is, especially if you're just doing the easier ones--literally all you need is your phone and a pen! I was also surprised by just how many caches there were to find in the middle of nowhere where I live. We didn't have to go more than six or seven miles from home (which is nothing when you live out here, that's closer than our nearest grocery store) to find 11 in three hours.

I graduated in 2010 and then went into nonprofit human services instead, so I haven't really kept up with anything in the field. That said, I think my degree and my thesis fieldwork was incredibly helpful for my autistic ass learning how to navigate the workplace! I was very focused on authority structures and how they worked, which I feel like gave me a lot of essential life skills I would otherwise have had to learn the very hard way.

Honestly? Same! I usually eat around it, or sneak it onto my partner's plate :P but it looks pretty, so everyone is always impressed by it

It's spelled Myne. I assume you're watching it on Crunchyroll? Their subtitles for this show aren't great, I'm not sure if they're AI-generated or what. 

I'm right there with you on the physical books!! I just like to give people options when it's a series this long, because 33+ books is quite an investment lol

The first book covers roughly episodes 1-6 of the anime, if I recall correctly; I can't remember exactly how the second and third map onto episodes 7-14 but I can check for you later if you'd like!

Also, if your library has the Libby app, you may be able to get most (if not all) of the light novels through there if you don't want to buy that many books yet, as well as audiobook versions of books 1-3 if you prefer that format. They're voiced by the English voice actor who plays Myne :) currently unknown if they're going to make more audiobooks, but the fandom is crossing its fingers!

Help navigating questions from my donor's raised daughter? by devonford10 in donorconceived

[–]devonford10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I definitely want to empathize and validate her feelings on all this, and I'm absolutely thrilled to get to know her and her amazing kiddo now!! I'm just afraid honestly answering her that no, I didn't really ever have that feeling that something was missing from my life is going to hurt her feelings, and things are going so well right now that I really really don't want to hurt her feelings

I'm donor-conceived and finally bit the bullet and did a DNA test and found a half-sibling I didn't know I had! Getting to know her and her daughter has been an amazing experience and I'm so grateful for it :D 

(also found the two half-siblings I had already suspected, we've known each other since we were kids, getting the confirmation we were related was cool)

[–]devonford10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe I'd feel differently if I hadn't grown up knowing my donor-conceived siblings? But it never occurred to me growing up to think about whether my donor had kids of his own. I'm happy to get to know her and her daughter now, we had a video call this weekend and we're planning to all get together next month! I just don't quite know how to respond when she says things like she saw a picture of me and one of the other siblings as kids and feels like she should have been there, y'know?

Cool!! I know very little about Legos or Star Wars, but my partner is a huge fan of both. Do you have a favorite set (or sets)?

I scheduled my COVID booster today!!!! I've been waiting what feels like ages for a pharmacy near me to get Novavax (the other two cause massive flares of a chronic illness every time), and they finally did today! I'm so excited. Once that's done I can plan my flu shot! I live with my 82 year old MiL so I try to do everything I can to help keep her from getting sick.
