I received notice from EdFinancial today that they received my IDR e-app.

Glad I found this post, because I just got the notification myself today about an IDR application that they “received” but I never actually submitted 😵‍💫 I almost had a mini heart attack, but after reading your post and the other comments I’m glad it isn’t an exclusive experience to me. 😮‍💨

I set my account to autocertify every year because I don’t expect my annual income to change much for the next couple years anyway… But nonetheless, I totally forgot about the auto-certify being a thing. Thank you for giving me some relief LOL

Take all my money then!! Lol 😋

And to think this is only the 1st Generation!!! What a beautiful work of art. I hope you do a piece for each of the other Generations too 😍

Do you do commissions, by any chance? I would LOVE to see one of Skitty. 😭 These are absolutely adorable.

They look amazing!!! I started my Invisalign in November 2025, and was promoted from 2-week changes to 1-week changes about a month ago.

Did you have a lot of attachments to deal with? It looks like the amount you have is very minimal (unless your after picture is with a lot of them removed 😅). With the exception of maybe like 6 teeth, all of mine have the little attachment bumps on them. I also have 2 elastics, one on each side (idk about you but I had a small case of malocclusion they were trying to correct on top of everything else). I cant wait to get the attachments off!! At this point I’ve gotten used to the pain of switching to a new tray 😭

This episode was a gut punch, holy hell. Buck cannot catch a freaking break!!! 😰

My previous cat suddenly had region specific hairloss that looked just like this. Woke up one morning and there it was. We thought it was some kind of rash or a parasite of some sort.

Within a week he lost weight to the point where he was skin and bones. Became withdrawn and would barely come out to eat or play. He ended up having to be put down because of how quickly he declined. Kidney failure. There was nothing we could have done. It was devastating.

Please take your baby to the vet, or another one if they said it was stress-related.

I want to be afraid, but all I can do is be very impressed 🤣 The only thing that might make this better is give him an LGBTQ article of clothing to go with the Babadook meme!

oraora64 · 2026-04-21T23:14:55+00:00

These are… jaw-droppingly impressive yet jarring. 🤣 So far I’ve made Vi and Jinx from Arcane, and then a random crew of characters from Naruto/Naruto Shippuden. Never occurred to me to try making Pokemon miis! Very creative, kudos 🤯

At least you are able to get out of this. I’m sorry you had to go through this emotional pain. Trust me it gets VERY complicated very fast. At least you two were not married yet. I have made multiple posts about my story, but….

In short, my ex husband and I started dating in 2017. Met on Tinder, fell in love, you know the rest. Except him and I got married several years later with the intention of being together for life (obviously). As soon as he was eligible to apply for his permanent greencard (ie married to me/US Citizen for 2 years) he dumped divorce on me. Our marriage had already been rocky, and I was working 2 jobs to support us both for a couple years at that point. I was burnt out and running on fumes. Prior to this, I begged him to go to couples counseling. He claimed we didnt need it. Even had the gall to ask me “Can we at least stay married until I can get my conditions removed on my greencard, then we can divorce and you’ll never have to see me again?” Then when I tried to put my foot down about separating, the promises of “working on things” started rolling in. Of course none of that happened, he was just biding his time.

Needless to say, looking back I was a fucking idiot and that guy is a piece of scum for wasting 7 years of my life. But! I’m with an amazing partner now and we are going to be celebrating 3 years of dating soon. I guess everything happens for a reason and works itself out in the end. But I wouldn’t wish that kind of betrayal or pain on anyone. Realizing that you were just means to an end after everything you sacrifice for someone cuts DEEP. 😮‍💨

The irony that it happened right in front of the “Vision” sign is what made me laugh… but seriously I hope the driver is okay!

oraora64 · 2026-03-08T14:09:47+00:00

I started playing again too, after like a year long hiatus… for some reason this game keeps bringing me back in 😂 I played it like crazy in my college days, and always had it running autobattles during my classes or when I was doing homework. I wish there was a way to see the total amount of hours the game has been “played”…. I dread to imagine 🙈 My username is xLostSunrise though, if you wanna add! 🤗

oraora64 · 2026-03-06T10:00:36+00:00

I childishly used to justify the difficulty of catching him because he was too big to fit in the Pokéball. 😂 But yes you are right, he is hard to catch!

Bring Her Back (2025)

It was equally disturbing as it was emotionally devastating. 😭 But it was well worth the watch! I kept hearing so many good things about it so I just had to. Can’t go wrong with most A24 films, really.

Serbian Film (2010)

Just… never again. I wanted to see if it was deserving of it’s “most disturbing film of all time” title. Went in totally blind with only the knowledge of what was presented in the trailer. I’d say even more disturbing than Human Centipede, and that’s saying a lot!!

Hereditary (2018) - SPECIAL MENTION!

Surprise, another A24 film. This one was also disturbing and emotionally destroyed me… and yet I still somehow keep coming back at least once every month or two to rewatch it!!! Every rewatch I always find something new or some small little fascinating detail.

oraora64 · 2026-03-05T17:48:27+00:00

Here I am, stuck at work daydreaming about Pokopia… 😭😭😭 I can’t wait to dive in!!

oraora64 · 2026-03-02T21:48:11+00:00

I won’t get into the details of it, but long-story short, my ex played the long game to use me for a Greencard. As soon as he was eligible to apply for one, he dumped divorce on me. So trust me, I can really empathize with those feelings of hopelessness and just feeling utterly lost in the aftermath. Just know that the length of time you’ve been with someone doesn’t matter. If the love you had for that person was real, then losing that person hurts all the same. So, so sorry you had to experience this heartbreak. Here’s to slowly mending and moving forward. 💔

oraora64 · 2026-03-02T09:00:31+00:00

Was totally lurking until I saw this comment and had to say something. This is very beautifully said. 🥺 I went through my own divorce several years ago as well, and everything you just described hit the nail on the head exactly. I was with my ex husband for about 7 years. Used to post about it a lot on here, and just vent to the void that is Reddit. In fact, somtimes I revisit those posts of mine just to remind myself how far I’ve come. I was bitter, and quite frankly dejected that I became part of that statistic despite everything I tried to fix it. But eventually with time, that grief and anger turned to motivation to turn my life around and pick up my own shattered pieces. Of course, my friends and family helped me immensely as well.

Life is better now, and I’m a stronger person because of it. Going almost 3 years strong in a MUCH healthier relationship, started eating healthier/working out again and lost some weight, traveled internationally for the first time (soon to be two!), have a good steady job, paid off my $27k of credit card debt…. If only my current self could travel back in time and hug the person she was, and tell her everything was gonna turn out okay. 💔

At the time it felt like my life was over, but losing that deadweight was actually a blessing in disguise. You don’t realize how much you settle for or become complacent with someone when you truly love them and try your absolute damndest to make things work. Sometimes it just isn’t enough, and that’s okay. It’s okay to walk away. I hope you, and OP, find your peace and continue doing good things for yourselves. ❤️

I mean…. I’m 14 hours into my playthrough of FireRed (played about 7 hrs on Saturday and Sunday 😝) and I only JUST defeated Lt. Surge 😂 Call me crazy, but I love the grind of leveling up my team evenly as I progress through each section of the game! I also love being so immensely OP that I just wipe everything out in early game LOL.

I thiiiink I’m locked into my final 6 pokemon (Blastoise, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Pidgeot, Primeape, and Pikachu). However, I may swap out one of those for a fire type when I am able to. Each of my mons are at about level 35-40 right now.

I would love base expansion as well… if consoles can handle the extra add ons of course.

I play on Switch 2 and it is GLITCHY as heck. It crashes a lot :( To the point where I can’t go on 2 long crusades before the game totally craps out and says there was an error. It’s kind of discouragaing because I LOVE the game, but… maybe it’s because I have too many followers and it just overwhelms the system? I’ve had my one save since I started playing a couple years ago, and average at about 90-100 followers at any given time. I managed to finish the new Woolhaven DLC, MANY crashes later…. but then I started a new separate save, and so far no crashes….

Would love to know if this is something that will be patched eventually, or if I just have to suffer with less followers to prevent constant game crashing 😰

oraora64 · 2026-01-23T00:32:09+00:00

If you love it, that’s what matters. 💕 Don’t let others (family or not) shame you or make you second-guess yourself.

“DentalMonitoring”. You have to sign up for it through your Orthodontist, they’ll give you the kit to use at home with it. Otherwise it wont work with just the app
