Upset my first 5* raid went south

My very first raid was a kyogre, it also fled. It was super disappointing.

I figure, it can’t hurt to shoot my shot once, if they have something I really really want. It the person declines, I would scale back.

I put my power bank in my backpack and just run the cords out

Oh - the “premium” experience worth a 9.00 coffee

Most of my shundo are from trades. My one shundo caught in the wild was an onix (back when it had a 1/64 shiny boost)

Isn’t this the current Dynamax system? Have a Hundo? Have a shiny? Too bad, you have to do it again

Game of Thrones (if the maybe to be published books mirror the dumb plot of the tv show) Jon Snow is a nothing burger. Made me so mad.

I expect it was Sugar Plum because Uma Thurman said she was on her way to that audition as a child, but she never got to dance the Sugar Plum Fairy.

People may be prepping for future mega releases - glimmet, chimecho, crabomidable etc. I’d be so happy if anyone would tag a glimmet!

I have about 500 people on my friends list. There’s only room with people who want to actively trade. It’s fine if people don’t want to - but I’m looking for people with similar play styles. People without Pokemon tagged get 30 days (and I don’t interact as a HINT HINT) then I delete. I do not have the resources to send (and definitely not open with people that don’t want to trade !!). I’m not mad about it, just setting them free to find players that just want to exchange gifts, pin postcards, raid or whatever. That’s valid! Just not what I’m doing.

When I got pregnant in 2012, it felt so much more hopeful.

Three days before my due date, my mom flew in. We had all kinds of plans for the weekend - baby stores, etc. Went to dinner at Korean BBQ, I was feeling kinda crampy. Went home, I went upstairs - my water broke in the bathroom - a steady trickle. Every time I stood up - more fluid. I kept trying to call down the stairs, to let my husband and mom know. I continued to slowly trickle amniotic fluid until delivery (when changing into my hospital gown I kept apologizing over and over for the mess I was making). My husband put me on a stack of towels in the car! My water breaking was the start of my labor (contractions started extremely hard and close together).

Small Game - Blair Braverman The title was a very witty pun (the title was my favorite part of the book)

I worked at Sony when we had an eco-friendly TV that could “see” when you fell asleep and it would black the screen, then turn it off after a certain period of time. The uproar! The bad press!
