As someone with PTSD (childhood cancer - long story) and social anxiety, I think this is a great idea. There is often stigma attached to psychological issues; it helps when we open up and communicate with each other. I’m open about my anxiety & PTSD (since late teens, anyway), and when it comes up on occasion, almost…
I am adding I’m a Water Rat mainly as an excuse to show this picture I found online - I love the Chinese art of paper cutting, I need to try it one of these days:
Whether there is anything to astrology or not, I am interested in it. My Sun sign is in Libra, Moon in Gemini, and Aquarius Rising - so I’m triple Air. I tend to live in my head, prefer intellectual pursuits, overthink, and am interested in communication (history of book arts & writing, language, studying many cultures to…
A shout out to my sister - she’s been both a gifted student and special education teacher from pre-k thru elementary for around three decades. She is a magic worker, and her students (just “her kids” as she calls them) adore her, and she has changed kids lives. It is not uncommon for her to be out in public and someone…
Okay, my Halloween story is both spooky and (I think) funny. It may be a bit unsettling or gross to some people, so be warned! ——— I had my left leg amputated when I was 18. I couldn’t find a cemetery that would let me put “Rest In Pieces” or “One Foot in the Grave” on my tombstone (no sense of humor!), so I had it…
I became a vegetarian to be a good role model for my nephew, as my sister was raising him as one (I’d long wanted to make the switch, but I am not a big fan of veggies). He’s full grown & married now, but I’m still meat free - thanks mainly to tofu! There are so many ways to make it, and for a while I survived on soy based…
As for a law I’d like to exist (besides many already mentioned already) I have many, but I’ll go with: “Wear a mask inside or in large gatherings outside” I have a weak immune system due to chemo, so to me it’s personal. Not looking to stir up rancor, so maybe instead of a law, think of it as a friendly favor to people in…
My sister is an elementary school teacher (she has done both gifted programs and special education) - from what she’s told me, educators need to be included under your law, @DebonoChica ! 🙂
I’m hoping that no little boxes of raisins get tossed in to any of my candy cascades - that was always a bummer when trick-or-treating! And CC is the closest I get to trick-or-treats at my age (no costumed kids knocking on the door during Covid, either).
A “broke Yeti” because (s)he spent more money on boosters to get past an impossible level could also be an option! I picked Pythagorean Yeti because if it is a tough to beat level, I prefer it to be one that has a trick or strategy to it, which once figured out nullifies the impossibility feeling. Opposed to frustrating…
@arwen777 - I forgot about all those perks (I tend to zone out when playing, using Candy Crush as a distraction for chronic pain)! Okay, I retract my feeling of being silly. 😐 I agree that game changes do often seem (to me, just my overall impression) to make playing harder, causing me (if not others) to buy more boosters…
Sugar Stars seem out of my reach, and this score was with all pre-game boosters (plus a hammer or two). Maybe I need a strategy, instead of just moving candies willy-nilly? 🤔
Back in my day, we played computer adventure games that were just text - and had to walk uphill both ways to do so! 👴🏻 (I miss Zork). I am 48, as a kid played arcade games at the mall and on Atari 2600. First video game I saw (and played) was Pong! I drifted away from gaming for a while, till someone gave my young nephew a…
Well, I feel a bit silly I replayed so many levels, or wasted boosters to win on the first play of new ones, to get trophies that are now gone. Then again, I feel very silly that I felt the need to get the trophies at all! Ive been playing a long time, am used to features that seemingly randomly appear and disappear.I only…
Thanks to a minor fortune spent on boosters, too much time on my hands, the fun of it, and the motivating factor of a new badge, I finally made it passed level 8000. 🥳
