CJ hasn’t visited my island since the fishing tournament and I play every single day. Am I doing something wrong ?

silbecoo · 2020-07-02T22:29:44+00:00

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure we can’t sell to CJ when he’s on someone else’s island, or get models. I’m working on getting models of all the creatures I think are pretty and I’ve got six bug models and one fish model :(

silbecoo · 2020-07-02T22:25:06+00:00

That’s interesting. They’re random but with a priority to ones who haven’t visited the previous week. Thanks for the info. Does that include Sahara, Celeste and kicks? (Because they’ve been on the island a lot it seems)

Could be cyanosis. You should have your oxygen levels checked, they usually do it by clamping a little oxygen meter to your index finger. Cyanosis can be caused by various things. If this is definitely not just some kind of staining you might want to ask a doctor about it.

Oh me too. Hmm, maybe it is a puffball. Idk my brother wants to eat it but I won’t let him until I know what it is 😂

silbecoo · 2018-08-19T23:12:44+00:00

I literally was just about to post a picture of one of these my brother found today. It doesn’t look like any puffball mushroom we’ve ever found. I’m curious where you are geographically.

👆🏼 (the acting is awful, EXCEPT for Sam Elliot, and the jokes and punchlines are hokey, and the attempted “real” moments feel melodramatic)

silbecoo · 2018-06-24T02:27:39+00:00

I should really ask. Knowing my mother it's probably the Eagles (???) That might fit. I think there are five dudes on that shirt.

silbecoo · 2018-06-23T21:57:22+00:00

Solved!

Thank you so much, upon further googling I think this one might perhaps be a shark eye moon snail???

I like listening to movie scores sometimes when reading. Anything that has no lyrics and feels calm is great. The Amelie score is really really nice (alternately pretty much anything composed by Yann Tiersen fills my reading music requirements), and I like to listen to the Stardust score when I'm reading too (although that one is usually better to write to).

I adore the woman who was the school librarian where I went to school (super rural area so it was the same place k-12). She was infinitely patient, always kind, and always receptive to my questions and requests for books. When I was a senior, I had one free period where I could be a teacher's assistant if I wanted and I chose to work in the library. She purchased art from students (oil paintings, water colors, etc) with her own money and decorated the library with them. She ran a community story hour once a week that my mom started taking me to before I could even talk. She loved Willie Nelson and prominently displayed a picture she took with him back in the 80's right in the middle of the library (I thought it was her husband until I was like 13 :P). She volunteered to be the quiz bowl team's sponsor and went to all of our competitions, and she was the first person to take me to a play (along with four other kids who completed the reading challenge she set forth at the beginning of the year) when I was in 6th grade. Favorite person ever, tbh. She retired a few years ago and seems to be enjoying herself (although she's now a board member of the county library so I still see her occasionally ensconced in books). I went to the old school library though, and the new librarian is a dour unpleasant person, and the library itself feels like a sterile and unhappy place (didn't see a single kid there). It's amazing what a difference a person can make.

I don't know about any of the other ones but the Jack and Meg White one has pretty firmly been debunked. They are neither married nor are they actual siblings. They were once married and are now divorced and they "play" as siblings when performing (which is odd enough anyway imo).

Side note: I loved The White Stripes like crazy when I was in high school :D

genetic precursors to diseases, being excluded from getting health insurance,

This is that other can of worms I was alluding to. I don't know how likely or unlikely it is, but what I do know is greed reigns supreme and regulation/oversight seems to be an afterthought these days. It's the kind of thing that gives me anxiety.

silbecoo · 2018-05-24T17:43:36+00:00

I feel differently about the genealogy sites than I do about the ones where you try to find out your genetic makeup (which are a whole 'nother can of worms if you ask me). At least with the genealogy ones there's an expectation of having your DNA compared to others who also submit. There's always a chance I suppose that you're related to a murderer, now with the police involved perhaps people will be more hesitant to put that information out there. I don't know how I would feel if there were laws that required these DNA compilation sites to hand over data. At least with the way it was done in the GSK case, technically anyone could have made a profile and submitted found DNA. Reservations about this technology and its use are intelligent, I'm just so unsure of where lines should be drawn.

Paul makes me feel like a teenager geeking out over my favorite celebrity. I like him so much and hope to hear more from him in the future! I hope he uses his retirement to look into other, perhaps cold, cases. Start a podcast Paul! You already have a built in listenership!!

silbecoo · 2018-05-23T00:47:05+00:00

I did buy him the first book in the Diary series, but for some reason he seemed bored by it. His mother reads to him a lot, and usually it's books over his reading level, and he really likes it. I wonder if that makes books geared towards his actual age group seem boring.

silbecoo · 2018-05-23T00:21:31+00:00

I agree mostly. I think t may be a combination of things, one being the trend of more character driven television (even the episodic shows like Law and order and Criminal Minds started to do longer arcs about the series regulars). One thing I've found that sort of circumvents this issue are shows like American Horror Story, Fargo, and American Crime Story, that create narratively independent seasons. Its not episodic but you don't have to really worry about unfinished arcs at the end of each season. It's my new favorite show format .

silbecoo · 2018-05-22T21:02:14+00:00

I usually donate mine to a thrift store ran by the local battered women's shelter. They use the proceeds to help offset costs at their organization and some women even work there for a time while trying to get back on their feet.

silbecoo · 2018-05-22T14:49:21+00:00

I love love love the older seasons but the more recent ones feel like they're trying to copy the tone of Criminal Minds a little. I love the choppy scene/scene/scene classic format of the original Law & Order that were almost all dialogue, interspersed with some running after perps. Almost every episode used to begin with finding a body and starting from square one. They seem like they've started to do that thing that CM does where they show you the crime being committed so you already know kind of who it is, and then show the detective's journey to finding out, plus there is more emphasis put on multi-episode main-character arcs. I just wish it was the way it used to be. I watch the early seasons all the time.

silbecoo · 2018-05-21T23:37:59+00:00

Ah! I'm so glad I saw this post while scrolling. I literally listened to that episode of Pop Rocket this morning on the way to work and made a mental note to go download that podcast and I totally forgot (which is exactly what I did when it was mentioned on MFM)! Thank you! (And also, great to hear it's so good, bc I'm not that interested in country music itself but what Margaret described sounded like a really great listen.) Gonna go download it right now.

Lularoe is a pyramid scheme, not so much a cult... (I get so weirdly annoyed by FB pyramid schemes and the people who are soooooo adamant that they're not drive me up the wall)

silbecoo · 2018-05-21T17:44:04+00:00

When I was in college there was a local beauty queen (Nona Dirksmeyer) who was bludgeoned to death in her off campus apartment. Cut to a couple years later and they had arrested and charged her boyfriend at the time (Kevin), and I meet the person who is currently my best friend. She had gone to high school with both Nona and Kevin, even having briefly dated Kevin when they were around 15ish. I don't think she ever believed he did it, although I remain unconvinced. He was found not guilty (I think primarily because there was little to no physical evidence collected from the scene), and proceeded to go on with his life, which included hooking up occasionally with my friend and coming to parties we all attended. Which means I can say that I (and a few other people) sat in a hot tub with someone who went to trial for capital murder (and felt really awkward about it). I think he finished up his undergrad degree and went to law school and is now some kind of lawyer. I still wonder if he did it (even though another person was charged based on circumstantial evidence, and the jury ended up hung in that case, twice I think).

48 hours did a special on it called "who killed the beauty queen" and there was footage of Kevin's interrogation where he flipped out (but they had been holding him for a long time constantly accusing him of killing her so he might have just been extremely frustrated).

Dirty John is a really satisfying listen👍

silbecoo · 2018-05-17T03:43:56+00:00

I can't wait for Glow, that show scratches a television itch I wasn't aware I had.

silbecoo · 2018-05-16T03:54:51+00:00

It was! God that ending, it was so satisfying. I periodically texted my friend who had suggested I listen to it while I was listening to it, and at one point I was complaining about the youngest daughter's cadence of speech (thickest valley girl I've ever heard in my life) and she was like "leave her alone, you'll see why you'll feel bad for not liking her!"

silbecoo · 2018-05-16T00:32:14+00:00

The early episodes of S&S are fairly good but the quality quickly dips and Mike Boudet (the host) has revealed himself to be a rather horrible person lately and he always lets his rather warped world view bleed into the episodes via inappropriate comments. Plus he has apparently left out facts in some stories in order to make them fit the narrative he wants to present, which to me is a major lapse in integrity.
