@Anarchist Beauty: I'll trade you a Dust Wars Bundle (6k value) and Feather Duster (1k) for your Rising Phoenix at 7k?
Also offering a Clamorous + 2k for the 50k Members (Headset) milestone item?
I love the idea of recolors of older items, and don't mind them being in their own unique crate or orb for special releases, and I'd be happy to pay in ohms and/or volts for them.

If we're talking about the release of older, rarer items, I prefer to go the raffle route vs. hoping to buy them for ohms at limited quantity at certain times of the day. At least with raffles, you only have the time constraints of the event they're featured in, whereas the "hurry before it's gone!" tactic I feel isn't fair to those who can't be here during those times. If I'm being honest, life outside of Voltra is stressful enough, and I don't need that stress here lol. I absolutely loved the raffles I've gotten to participate in so far, so hope to have more of those in the future.

In the vein of recolors, I just want to say THANK YOU for doing a recolor in the recent common orb items in the "donut" theme. I'm not much for rainbow, so the different recoloring techniques is a refreshing route to go for future recolor releases!! <333

I'm definitely ready for cooler weather. Been in the 100s this week and this heat is getting real old, real quick.

@Feral: Oof, I hear you on the pockets issue! I don't buy shorts or pants without them anymore!! Also my toddler son has more pockets on his clothes than a lot of women's clothes. MAKE. IT. MAKE. SENSE. What on earth could a toddler need pockets for?!

@Starry: lol I might be able to get away with just shaving to right above my knees, but I haven't tried that.

Oooh, I should check out that subreddit because it amuses me finding niche things like that. xDD I hardly post on reddit, more like browse to pass the time lol. That's pretty amusing about the Planter's jars and Dollar Tree stuff! I often wonder how long it takes a thrift store to process and put something on their shelves, because I've never seen anything I've donated put on the shelves. Either they must take forever to process, or they toss it for some reason, or it somehow flies off the shelves before I see it? Either way, I'm very curious. I too have a bunch of clothes that don't quite fit but are too sentimental to donate. And the meme is quite relevant. xP
Posted in S- July Items! Posted 2 years ago
@Spider: I'd like to buy 1 Finding Neverland and 1 Venomous Viper if you still have them please? 10k total?
I would like to add that while I know the snacks in this thread are wildly unhealthy, I also wish our country had better food standards. I love trying foreign snacks too if I know what they should taste like lol. If I can't tell what "flavor" it should be, I don't get it. xD

@Starry: I've been trying to get away with wearing pants, but this heat makes it harder and harder to do, so been wearing shorter bottoms now. I don't shave my legs often more because I'm too lazy, so that's the main reason I go with pants. But yeah, frontal wedgies are no fun, and I'm hoping to find some more comfortable shorts before my vacation here in a couple weeks.

Sometimes I wish I could be a capsule wardrobe kind of person, but I'm with you preferring variety. xD A lot of times I'll also donate my clothes to this thrift store run by a local church, and I'm not even a spiritual person, but I like shopping in their shop because they tend to have good finds for crazy good prices lol. I've tried shopping at Goodwill, but the one here is pretty gnarly with its merchandise, so haven't gone back. I kid you not, I found a sandwich-sized ziplock bag full of rocks that looked like they were just scooped up from the parking lot, and they were trying to sell it for a dollar! Either that, or some goober thought they'd make a joke of it, but still. xP I have one box of mystery clothes that I should go through and wash. I say mystery because I obviously haven't missed whatever's in there to check what it contains lol.

@Alorrena: They DO kinda look like muppets. xD I just wonder why evolution kept the bright yellow eyes, of all things. The rest of it makes sense in a way, but the eyes, not so much. I get that they sleep during the day, so maybe not a big deal.
Posted in I HAVE A NEW OBSESSION Posted 2 years ago
Oh yes, I learned about these when I was in college and also became obsessed with their awkward yet creepy appearance. xDD Would LOVE to see one in person!

@Starry: Ugh, I can't stand people that muscle in like that! Like I barely leave room between me and the people in front of me, so any space in between is not an invitation to be filled. =n= I can only stand around people with B.O. for so long before I have to move on for fear of getting sick.

I do like bralettes, and should probably get more since I don't have a lot of them. Could stand to get rid of some regular bras that have shrunk over time in the wash. I don't have a lot going on up there either lol. I keep getting ads on my Facebook feed for Pepper, which is supposed to be for people with smaller chests, but the price tag completely turns me off. And I totes feel you about the shorts situation!! I have a couple pairs of shorts that go down to my knees, and then the rest are mostly short shorts, but pretty much all of them ride up some in the crotch area and it's getting old.

I feel you on the having too many clothes part too. xP I could easily get rid of a large moving box full, if not more, but I haven't taken the time to go through my wardrobe, wash them, and donate them. I keep thinking about finding a women's shelter in the area and donating to them. Typically I just drop my clothes in a drop box across town, but who knows where those end up. Sorry about your Sailor Moon shirt.
@sunny: You're welcome! Yeah I just wanted to give you a warning about Hershey's that it's probably not all it's cracked up to be lol. I'm not sure if you like pudding in the non-UK sense, but Snack Pack has a lot of varieties in flavors. Plus they can be kept room temperature or refrigerated. I also love Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches, and they have cheese varieties as well. They both come in minis and in regular sizes, like 6 a pack.
Posted in Shows You're Watching? Posted 2 years ago
@Shark: I love that show, and oftentimes wish I could talk like some of the characters because I love the way they talk. xD

I always have a lot of shows I'm watching between anime and stuff on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max. Some new, some old, sometimes rewatching, sometimes watching for the first time.

I blasted through all of Ru Paul's Drag Race on Hulu, and I'm salty that I can't watch the latest seasons, both of regular season and All Stars, plus now I see there's a celebrity version. Catching up on Law & Order: SVU's last few episodes of their latest season. Slowly getting through Will & Grace and Golden Girls, both of which I've never watched all the way through. Slowly getting through Handmaid's Tale, only because the episodes kinda get you down sometimes, even though they're really good. Still finishing up Vikings last 2 seasons. Also I think we started the newest season of What We Do in the Shadows. I thiiiink that's all for Hulu. Oh! I'm rewatching Scrubs.

As for HBO Max, getting through The Big Bang Theory, which I never finished, and we're on the last 2 seasons. Always watching Friends, which I've seen every episode a million times, but I often play it for background noise. Sometimes I'll rewatch a Ghibli movie on there since I've seen damn near all of them. I feel like I'm missing a show on there that I watch...

For Netflix, we started the latest season of Blown Away. And Street Food: USA. I blasted through the latest season of Somebody Feed Phil. I've blasted through various murder documentaries, and I'm screaming for another season of Unsolved Mysteries (supposedly another season is coming). Slowly getting through Komi Can't Communicate. All caught up with Stranger Things, and I'm pretty salty about something on it, which you can probably guess if you've finished it. I know there are more shows, but my brain's running on empty lol.
Posted in I have 100k volts. Posted 2 years ago
About the same here for the above-mentioned reasons. xD I'm trying to save it for some older items I've been eyeing, but haven't been able to come by them in the Exchange. Probably gonna end up spending some volts anyway whenever the new items come out.
@sunny: Aww, too bad about the marshmallows, but that's okay! It took me a while to like marshmallows anything but toasted, but I got used to the texture I guess. I really prefer the toasted taste though. Hope you like the Cracker Jacks!

Awww, that sucks that you probably can't get the pizza rolls. D; Maybe one day if you're ever closer to London?

Hmm, for savory, I might suggest Cheez Itz, Club Crackers, Lays Sour Cream & Onion or Barbecue, and Pringles of the same aforementioned flavors. In general when it comes to chips, those two are my favorite flavors lol. I also love Funyuns, but I see you don't quite care for onion taste?

For sweet, Oreos are always good (they have different flavors), and Chips Ahoy! chocolate chip cookies (they have different varieties as well). You can never go wrong with some candy bars, and some of my favorites in no particular order are Twix, Kit-Kat, Butterfinger, York Peppermint Patties, and Hershey's Cookies n' Creme. I'm so-so with Hershey's milk chocolate because of its unique taste, which some will say tastes strangely like vomit. Come to find out that one of its ingredients is actually found in vomit, which isn't to say that they produce it with that bi-product...it just happens to be there? Idk, but I totally wouldn't blame you if I just turned you off from Hershey's. xD
