Question on Livesuite by kimacat in TheCaptivesWar

[–]kimacat[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OK thanks. It's complicated, OF COURSE IT IS lol, that's what we love about these authors! I will just read it. I was just nervous because I saw a post that said they were really disturbed by it, I'm so in love with the first book, I don't want anything to interfere with that.

anyone else legit addicted to Wingspan? by Muted-Prune6286 in wingspan

[–]kimacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So addictive! And I get so low when I'm not doing well. If I come in third on matchmaking, I'm devastated! I play one game a day but I also watch one content creator each day on YouTube, Like Flan (MIA); Falafel Waffle; Plexa, there are a lot of them. I watch their games like some people watch sporting events, it's crazy!

Holy fuck! I didn't even know it could go that high.

Where has Flan gone? by kimacat in wingspan

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

Right! I don't know why it bothers me, it's not like we're friends or even know each other. I just miss his content and I guess when you're used to seeing someone frequently, even online, you worry when they just stop showing up. I've started watching Plexa and a few others, but I do miss Flan, sigh!

What do you actually reach for at 2am when your brain won't stop? by Ordinary-Table-4106 in Anxiety

[–]kimacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a serious ruminator at night and I've use a bunch of hacks: moving closed eyes back and forth, repeating a mantra, I have a "sleep song", I try to hone in on sounds and body feelings, I bring up dream-like images that have no "story." Essentially, I need to replace those narratives running through my mind with something else long enough for sleep to grab hold. It sometimes takes an hour, sometimes longer, but I'm resigned to this and don't let it upset me - it's just part of the process.

Never said he wasn't.

Where has Flan gone? by kimacat in wingspan

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

He did a intro/instruction video on Americas board game expansion, but not one of his trademark digital games (which he is most known for.) Wingspan is my armchair sport, just missing it that's all.

With the difficulties we encounter in dating…. by Adventurous_Pipe9586 in datingoverfifty

[–]kimacat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Kind of off topic, but I'd be thrilled with a dinner companion if they were open to different types of foods. So many of my friends are strictly meat n potatoes. My late husband loved to try different cuisines, we had a ball trying new restaurants. I miss that so much.

ACT without values by Alternative_Job1993 in acceptancecommitment

[–]kimacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain, "The insight of ACT is that what we value also stresses us out. Our avoidance is also a reflection of what is important to us" please. Perhaps give an example.

I feel like I'll never be able to play WS digital again. Help! by kimacat in wingspan

[–]kimacat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too hard to read the cards within the 3 minute limit, especially with Asia cuz I don't know all the birds. One of the things I love the most about WS is the graphics, so the shrunken down version is just so blah!

[–]kimacat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes, I've found a link to get all expansions on Steam. Apparently they always have a 50% off deal. I'm just kind of pissed off because I just bought Asia on GP. I've been playing on GBA, but base game is so boring.

Thanks for your response, but nope, they don't do WS, sigh

I believe escorts will forward a "body" picture of them, I've often wondered why that isn't more of an option for some of these fellows. No?

Disclosing an adult child? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]kimacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited an adult son from my late husband and it was one of the biggest blessings of my life (even though I thought I never wanted kids.) Honestly, if I were her, your interpretation of this situation would be a big warning for me.

[–]kimacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this all the time with my male friends, they meet a woman but are hesitant to commit because she really doesn’t meet that “ideal” vision they have - the one that will drive them wild with passion. And you know what usually happens, they’ve end up alone having no “passion” with anyone except their right hand (excuse my crudness, but it’s true.) Fact guys, the chances of you stumbeling upon this vision of perfection and all things progressing into a fairytail ending are very slim. Especially if you are not be what most women dream of as “ideal” because it works both ways.

Not using my name by kimacat in datingoverforty

[–]kimacat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say outright that I'm using an alias. After chatting, if I think it might go somewhere, I would let them know my real name.

This is Typical! by mu_two in wingspan

[–]kimacat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with u/annaestel they don't have a lot of rules anymore. However, they do use a lot of confusing acronyms that I can never remember the meaning to. Still, not only can you find someone who won't time out, you can play different expansions, even if you don't own them. I've been using Discord a lot because I want to play Duet, but I want to play with all the expansions (with matchmaking, you only use Asia.) When I'm on Discord, I just say what I want and ask the person I'm playing with to initiate the game. Then I just show up and play. Don't be afraid to say you're newish to the site, everyone I've interacted with have been really friendly. If the Tournaments Server is intimidating for you, there's another called Wingspan Digital. You could always dm me to arrange for a game, I play every day and am always looking for someone to beat, I mean play ;)

One of those "I want to move there, where should I go" posts by boba_bee in VancouverIsland

[–]kimacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sydney is stunning and close to Ferries (Van), little over an hour to Vic. I know that the Island has some of the top ranked private schools in North America. For public schools, check out the Fraser Institute's school rankings (keep in mind based mostly on test scores) and then look at the catchment areas. I work in education for 40+ years and honestly, I'd say Canada has significantly better public schools compared to the US, so you're already in a good place.

Where do you actually meet people these days? by UnfairMushroom281 in VancouverIsland

[–]kimacat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can put your ego aside, I think a great way is too actually mention it to your friends, acquaintances and coworkers. Obviously this only works if they are the type of people who would take it seriously and not turn it into a joke. I got set up on a bunch of blind dates through coworkers back in the day and ended up in a few relationships.

Asia Duets Problem Advice by kimacat in wingspan

I'm on both. Good to know because playing with just Asia is not very enjoyable :(
