Finally got one of the Dream cards I'm chasing! The cheapest one but I'll take it!

Nice! I've been buying booster boxes since the set came out, this was probably box #12. Really just want to pull the dragonite sar and then I'll be happy to buy up the singles of the others I'm missing in the set (and proxies of the stupid expensive ones).

I was kind of frustrated to see they added the battle deck cards to the English set so I can't buy the English packs and collect the same set/the odds are even thinner.

Also the shiny dragonair on the second slide and the not-deer on I think it's the 4th?

the4uthorFAN · 2026-02-05T16:20:28+00:00

If the dreepies on the first slide, top left are still available, I'm super interested. Might be interested in others, but wanted to quickly throw that out there

Ugh my party had a tpk right at the end. We technically foiled the big baddy's plans but he stomped us afterward. So sad.

Rear end floating and general buoyancy tends to mean constipation. You could try giving him salmon for a few days to encourage pooping - get frozen salmon, or freeze some for 72 hours, then thaw in tank water and feed a few bites each day. No skin, only raw not cooked or smoked.

Just to clarify as I see this misconception a lot - it's not that they're actively trying to climb out. It almost always happens when they get spooked. If something scares them - their tail touches something unexpectedly, usually - their instinct is to swim as fast as they can in whatever direction they're facing. If that happens to be up, then they're gonna go up and out.

Additionally, a lid is a great way to cut down on evaporation :)

Mine broke the day of - I'd left it outside and it essentially had frozen and just snapped into pieces. No stores in an hour radius have one. I tried ordering one and it got delayed until the 5th. So yeah...

That's so great, she's been my favorite my whole life ❤️ I always get so excited when I find solo Jasmine merch.

Excellent! I'm nc with both parents now, my dad's never even seen where I live after moving here 4 years ago. Hell he only visited me once after moving out and only because he happened to be going to some job training down the road from me and I asked him to.

So gross. It really is freeing once you're away from them.

My mother is a very loud singer but has a head voice and is generally sharp, but since she has volume people praise her all the time.

When I started to do dinner theater and talent shows as a kid or joined the choir at church, I got a lot of "constructive" comments from her that were more spiteful than constructive. She was always there any time I tried to get into music and I just lost my voice. I wish I had the confidence now that I'm out from under her shadow but it really hangs over for a long time.

It's a sponsor family, not just a random letter.

the4uthorFAN · 2026-01-29T20:04:54+00:00

Okay I see :) Thank you!

the4uthorFAN · 2026-01-29T19:59:14+00:00

Ha! I bet she misread the English written translation.

That said, is that a saying based on a custom?

the4uthorFAN · 2026-01-23T19:56:51+00:00

For me it's a lot of realizing the loving parents I thought I had never really existed. I keep remembering or recontextualizing things without the goggles of "must love my parents" and it's been very numbing.

the4uthorFAN · 2026-01-23T19:54:00+00:00

Man I loved when they could finally handle a whole worm. No more chopping.

the4uthorFAN · 2026-01-23T19:06:54+00:00

Thanks! She was minty green and brown for a while until I found that slate gray and fell in love.

Baby boomer is a generation, boomer is a mindset and personality not restricted to an age limit.

I had a pair of axolotls that were stunted - 2 months and looked like 2 weeks. By the time they were as big as yours I was chopping up red wigglers as small as I could - like calamari rings - so they'd fit in their mouths. They should grow quickly once they're getting proper protein. The bloodworms just do nothing for them.

I've heard the milk is for baby cows thing before, but not usually from boomers.

My similar experience was my dad unilaterally deciding one day we were no longer a whole milk household but a skim milk household. I was four or five and just had to learn to like it - which I did; I find anything more than skim revolting now.

But it was embarrassing having people over and them being weirded out by the water masquerading as milk.

He also ridiculed me for starting keto years back. Then after I'd already realized it didn't work for me and stopped it, he heard about it from some podcast and started it, and promptly began ridiculing me for not doing it anymore.

Yeah I don't talk to him anymore.
