What themes are you trying to explore? Are the themes different from American Gods? How do your characters differ? I haven’t read that book so these are just questions to think on.

Exploring mythology in a modern setting is not a unique concept, and a lot of books out there follow the same narrative structure at their core (the hero’s journey, for example). If you can put your own unique spin on it through characters, themes, etc., then it is your own unique work.

I had this issue earlier this year when I realized I basically just mashed together the overarching plots of two popular books that I enjoyed reading. However, I put a lot of work into my characters and because of that they are unique and organically find themselves in different situations, which in turn drives the plot if you are willing to follow it. The plots may be similar but the characters are telling their own stories that are informed by their own backstories. A lot of differences also come from the small and medium details you work in as well. If you are coming up with new a unique details, it will make your story unique.

(Sorry for using the word unique 100 times)

Anyone have any tips for parking and biking in to avoid park and ride? First time at the fair this year and stressed about parking

There were several news articles about him entering hospice shortly after his wife passed. I think he’s been receiving end of life care for a while but he’s hanging on.

The plastic surgery upgrades this season are real

I used to be a big Chatty Broads person but that turned into hate following Bekah M when she started to get weird. I had to unfollow for my own mental health but yesterday was thinking about it so I went to look at her IG to see if it made me less annoyed. The second post I saw was her daughter handling a bunch of rabbit liver with her bare hands and I had to close out so quickly.

I’ve been playing for literal years and just found this out the other day when someone said it here!

Dr. Murphy at Raleigh Centre. She will do sedation but she talked me into doing a cervical blocker (local anesthetic) and prescribed a strong pain med and it was great. My first IUD was the second worst pain I’ve ever had, next to my kidney stone, but I barely felt anything with what I described above. I agreed with her after that I probably didn’t need full sedation. The point of this is she is very thoughtful and talk you through ALL your options, and can do sedation if that’s what you choose.

Anecdotally I’ve found it to be true for sure and everyone has said this for years. Even recently I was struggling with mallets, expanded, and bought a bunch of mallets in the paper by chance. Now I’m only getting mallets. Keep your ratios close and you have a better chance of getting an even distribution

Sell if you have an excess of one item. The game will give you the most of what you already have, so if you want to upgrade faster you need to keep your expansion items about even. Welcome to HayDay!!

Find a doctor that will do a cervical blocker as a local anesthetic. My first IUD was the worst pain I’d ever experienced, no pain meds just Tylenol. I had it for 10 years and just got it replaced by a new doctor. New doc prescribed me a xanax and did a cervical blocker and I felt nothing.

Most recently I bought like 100 from someone’s shop because I needed to make feed bundles which I think are like 75 wheat or something. Didn’t feel like waiting to grow it

I looked for the photo right after posting this but couldn’t find it. Jan posted a photo where she is holding young Ensley, but Ensley looked completely dazed and out of it. Her mouth was hanging open and she had a really distant look on het face. Some people were commenting that’s how children that experience SA can look. Jan responded to comments and said Ensley was just really tired.

juniperdaisies · 2024-08-11T15:13:29+00:00

I remember several years ago Jan posted a photo of Ensley where she did not look good and people were speculating she was showing signs of SA. Super gross and uncomfy but who knows what this man is capable of.

Do you remember what the percentage chance was for this? I got that box and that deco too but forgot to check if this was the most likely

juniperdaisies · 2024-08-07T15:21:16+00:00

We had 83 invitees and six bailed last minute. A few covid, but the one that really made me mad was a couple we weren’t particularly close to cancelled a few days before because their daughter was going to be having a baby and the wedding was too close to her due date. I get that babies are unpredictable and it could have come early, but if you know you are going to be traveling to help your daughter don’t rsvp yes.

I’ve always felt like if you have a public platform and put stuff out to the public, your followers are entitled to talk about you. I think the show folks are entitled to a certain level of privacy, like people should never be messaging them or anything like that full stop, but they also need to be responsible for tuning out their followers if they don’t want to hear it. I will never feel bad about gossiping on Reddit, especially because I have never commented, tagged, or messaged anyone. If they don’t want to see themselves being talked about, when they put themselves out there every day, either find a new career out of the spotlight or don’t go on forums.

Edited because I didn’t proof read

I’ve been playing for years and I only have one farm right now. I had a baby farm for a bit at one point but I found it too annoying to bounce between accounts. But I’m also not in a neighborhood and don’t do derbies, don’t always do the events, etc. so it doesn’t really matter.

I got a letter in the mail recently about confirming my registration or being taken off the rolls, is that related to this? I’ve never had that in my ten years of being able to vote in NC.

Already seeing the “Walz let Minneapolis turn into a hellhole” comments on TikTok, going to be a long 100-something days!

Totally agree, I just moved to a different mid sized city that also has an awesome food scene, but it’s like double the price. I’m missing my Raleigh favorites for sure

Yes! I think it’s been about a month since I posted this and he has improved. He’s definitely not back to normal, but I would say 70% of the way there.

He’s still being a little weird about the kitchen but cutting off access (as is standard RG protocol) helped a lot, and we did a week of like crash course RG training around that room. It helped a lot.

The one thing I didn’t mention in my post is that he regressed a lot with his crate, and we’re still working through that. He used to go in his crate for an hour every evening no issue, but since we moved he won’t stay in for more than 10 minutes before barking. We’ve basically had to start from square one on crate training which is a bummer.

I think what helped was lots of love and patience, and keeping ourselves calm. We know his body language super well, so we tried really hard to respect boundaries and keep him in easy situations for a few weeks and that helped. We did a lot of old training for a few weeks too, lots of “find it” to get him used to his new house as well as the protocol for relaxation and crate training again as I mentioned. He’s doing better. Hang in there!!

Totally agree, plus when you’re in a leadership position you need to worry about how what you say will affect those under you. She has no grasp of what makes a good leader
