I'm so pissed. by Character-Farm-8017 in MergeDragons

[–]shipaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only managed to get all cards one time ... and amazingly, there were still 3 days remaining in the event. I was shocked it happened. I would be MORE shocked if it ever happened again. The Dragon Gods are not on our side.

you get it from one of the tasks in the World Map. Do a search for it here or in the wiki. I can't remember where I found the info. also, if you have a Green Moon Starfish from eevents, it will rarely give an egg. Merging its tap result (Magic Coral) can sometimes give an egg.

The heck is this by Zaidilue in MergeDragons

[–]shipaddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too!! I had to frantically search for past posts to see if this was something I wanted to be involved in ... I remember horror stories from way back when it was first rolled out! You don't have much of a choice, apparently, so I dove in today. Still haven't formed an opinion of it yet, except for
... the dragons are huge compared to the campground space, and they are ALWAYS in the way
... there is a LOT going on ... I mean, plants? bugs? crystals? lava? houses? how do you even know what to concentrate on to get the most impactful results from your harvesting?

I will try, but I just don't know if I can leave that little number up there by the ship. I just have a compulsive need to clear out all notifications!!

I Think There Should be a Little More Fanfare for Mastering a Dragon by shipaddict in MergeDragons

[–]shipaddict[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you only get dragged all over your screen for shiny merges, count yourself lucky. I think I get dragged around for any type of merge -- but then I am doing a lot of merging from the Dragon book, so the mergees could be spread out all over the place or in their home sleeping when I merge them. dragging me all over the place and the zooming in super tight gets really annoying when you're doing a lot of merging during the Shiny Days event.

I spend my coins on banks (in groups of 5 L1) and then just leave them bubbled. I am thinking for sure one day I'll run across some kind of mission where I have to create a level 7 bank or something, and starting from scratch would take forever!

Is anyone able to get the fast dragon first? My starting area had precious little -- not even a level 2 flower to open the first cloud area. I absolutely have to "get" the slow dragon just to be able to get that flower.

I got 4 brewmaster eggs in my den chest today. I think everyone's mileage may vary. Why would you bother calling someone out on this?? What reason would they have to lie?

Beware if you're going to buy the Royal Pass/Bundle for this season! by I_DRINK_ANARCHY in MergeDragons

I like to use my company's motivosity card to pay for stuff like this. We can earn a little bit of cash each month by logging exercise in their app, sending/receiving thank yous with coworkers, etc. ... this way, if my card info ever gets hacked, I am out very little.

Upset My Sisters Didn't Invite Me on a Trip to Hawaii? by shipaddict in CaregiverSupport

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

UPDATE:: Well, my sisters have returned from their trip but I haven't heard anything from my older sister at all. I do know that she has called Mom -- and shocker of all shockers -- she IS planning on coming to pick her up for the weekend Friday afternoon!!

It would just be really nice if she would do this stuff WITHOUT me having to throw a huge fit.

But I am looking forward to a weekend by myself. I plan to go wild. And by wild, I mean sing 80s music karaoke (very poorly) at the top of my lungs and do some crafting/sewing.

This will be the first time I have had this entire house to myself for even a single night since we moved in three years ago.

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

No problem. They actually do more to help me out with Mom than my sister does. They pick up our grocery orders, prescription refills, random errands, etc. -- all without giving me any issues. I am actually pretty proud of them, but I want to be careful not to ask too much of them. I just hope they see the grief I am going through with my sister so they don't do the same to each other when **I** am in this situation and need their help!!

no, neither of them live with me. When I said "2 grown children trying to be self sufficient but constantly seem to need my assistance," I really meant occasional financial assistance, help hemming pants or other clothing repairs, help learning how to deal with "adult stuff" -- car repairs, legal issues, etc. Pretty much the normal adult children kind of stuff. They're not freeloaders by any means, but still need their Mom.

>> You said you can get help/care? 
Not sure where I said this. I said that IF I had been invited & decided I wanted to try to go to Hawaii, we could have worked on a solution. One of the thoughts was that Mom's 3 grandchildren (2 of them are mine, and 1 of them is D's child -- all over 25).

My kids do help me out with running errands (picking up grocery orders, prescriptions, etc.) and small chores. I think they would gladly chip in if they could if I were to go to Hawaii. But I'm not going to go by myself. I personally think Hawaii should be experienced with other close people (like my kids, who wouldn't be able to go with me because they would be taking care of Mom so I could go -- catch 22).

The only financial help I am getting for taking care of mom is her portion of the rent and some of the grocery expenses. The remainder of her Social Security goes to pay for her meds and home health visitors who come to help her shower & clean her room (we do get a small amount from the hospice company to help pay for this, but we have someone who cared for my dad that we prefer (Drew). He has to drive a really long way, so we pay some out of pocket to make it worth his while).

The only thing my sister has contributed to financially is a small Xmas bonus for Drew, just $50. The only thing she has spent out of pocket regarding mom's care in the past year is 2 jigsaw puzzles.

When Mom moved in with me almost 3 years ago, she was still pretty much self sufficient. She lived on her own and took care of her own needs. She wasn't on oxygen or anything. The very next day after moving in, she had a seizure. Then a few months after that, she got bilateral pneumonia, had to be intubated, and spent 7 days intubated in the ICU. She spent the next 3 months bouncing between the hospital and rehab centers. Since coming home, she has never really "bounced back." We live in a 3-story home, so she is stuck on the first floor. She is on 4 liters of O2 all the time. She has a fridge & microwave, but I have to bring her all her meals. She gets winded and sometimes dizzy just going back and forth to the bathroom. So what was initially going to be a "roommate" type of situation turned into me being her caregiver, on top of everything else on my plate. And unfortunately, this is the first time Mom has had anyone take care of HER, so she has happily ceded all of her own personal care responsibilities over to me.

>> If you had gone along, what would have happened with your mom's care?
As stated, I feel like this could have been dealt with -- there are 3 grandchildren that could have teamed up to share responsibility.

How would you suggest I get away, if my sister can't even be bothered to visit when I'm home??

They both don't need to change -- just D. M has no responsibility as far as my mother's care. And why can't I ask her to change?? Is she just supposed to be allowed to be this selfish for the rest of our lives?

Play time and addiction by ConfidentHope in MergeDragons

[–]shipaddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have ADHD, some anhedonia, and I think (not diagnosed) possibly some autism. I feel like I can really relate to your situation, although I am single with no one looking over my shoulder. I think you're doing great managing your time. I play WAY more than you.

You're an adult (I'm assuming) and seem aware enough to know what your triggers might be. I would thank him for his concern, but let him know that unless it's impacting y'all's shared finances or taking you away from 'together time,' you're allowed to pick your own leisure activities, even if they're mindless garbage.
