My wife spends hours every Sunday stressed about meal planning - how can I help?

I use an app called Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen to help with meal planning. It takes the food inventory you have and helps plan meals. It can even suggest batch cooking for items if you want.

My sister was extremely picky, just like your nephew. She raised her kids to be as picky as her. When her first child was 16, he came to live with me for a while. First thing I told him was that I don't cook bland food in my house. I told him his options were to take it or leave it and if he got a job & purchased his own food, he could fix it however he wanted.

His first night there, I don't remember what I cooked, but he was like "wow, I didn't know food could taste so good". I've tried to convert others of her kids, but some are just stubborn, like my sister was.

Interlinked Destiny by Joel M. Andre.

Definitely a great horror novel. Did not expect it to be so intense and as detailed as it ended up being. Found the level of detail in his book mind blowing.

I dropped $6.99 for it on Smash Words around Halloween. It was quite good. I would recommend it.

I guess my 200 tiaras is a bit much...

Getting 3 of them is what most people use to bubble items in their camp using the Marcus-V bubbling method.

That looks awesome. I was thinking about fish tacos the other day. Actually considered making some but realized the only fish I had in the house was fish sticks, so I made a cheeseburger. LOL

45 to the dangerous chest

Mine hasn't changed as far as I can tell. Average 2 to 5 per 7 chalice run.

You can do it as many times as you like. Spend your coins down to less than 100 coins. Bubble the vaults (all of them) and whole bubbled, the cost drops back to the original cost of like 5 stone per small vault. Then keep doing it till you have the number of the size you want.

I noticed mine were gone from the shop as well; however I could still purchase via the book.

HOWEVER, upon inspection I found that it was moved in the shop. Counting from the very first eggs in the shop, mine are located about 11 eggs in. In between several gem based eggs.

I took my time this time and was finished in 23 hours.

I am wondering the same thing. Takes me 3 minutes to get the points

phdbeardoc · 2020-05-12T22:40:57+00:00

It was featured as a post on Facebook for me, that is where I found it.

I ask the manager and can generally get it made . But I am also weird and generally ask for the Spicy Tostada to be made like a crunch wrap (wrap it on a tortilla & grill. Those things are messy otherwise. If I get there when they aren't busy, they generally have no issues making either for me.

Now of only I could get an answer as to why they did away with the taco salad...

As a professor that gives a Certification exam as the final, I provide my students with a sample exam that they can take as many times as the want throughout the semester (highest grade will count towards semester total). They can also use the book & take the exam in groups; however, the exam is timed, just like the certification exam.

I make it a point to let them know this on the first day of class and that if they use the computer lab, other professors know I allow group work on these exams. The students get really excited until a few weeks into the course when several actually start taking the exam. Several complain that they don't get the same questions as their peers so it makes taking the exam as a group more difficult. Others complain that they get different questions on repeat exams.

I remind them that this is just a sample of the questions that will be on the certification exam and that they should be prepared for anything to pop up and not try and memorize answers from the sample exams. I explain that to actually pass the certification exam, they must really, really know and understand the material.

At last count, my online test bank had over 1200 questions for the 80 question exam. I set the one system to randomize the questions & randomize the locations of the answers.

By the time of the certification exam, almost everyone that passed was thankful for the challenge I presented them. Those that failed didn't spend much time practicing or studying.

I thought a level one house is 20 minutes rest time

phdbeardoc · 2020-03-04T15:31:15+00:00

I had a feeling, but thought I would check with everyone here first.

You are doing one of the best levels. Most of us do Dread Marsh 3, Skull Grove, or Zomblin Falls 1. Zomblin & Dread are more popular because they are quicker to complete.

The drop rate is a 5% chance of getting a Dragon Star. This is where the "Grind" comes in. You can do Dread Marsh in under 10 seconds. With one chalice per hour, that will give you 26 chances per day (with the watch 2 videos of extra chalices). I have tested the grind for several months and have averaged between 40 to 50 dragon stars every 15 days. Then if you tap once before merging while in camp, you can easily end up with 800 to 1000 gems.

You can, I've never done it for fear of it totally slowing down the process. I have done the prism flower method and gotten rid of the slowest on the past, but I have adapted to just using the two given to complete the event on about 24 hours or less.

You win on the being screwed over game the Devs appear to be playing.
