Posted in Does anyone want to clean my house for me? Posted 2 years ago


@Totalanimefan:
adjustable bases can fit in bed frames! \o/
i just got a frame too actually. it's super nice. i picked a design that has the corners rounded out and smooth edges so i don't bash my shins. but i already managed to bash my knee into it
:vanora_xd:
my walking style is to attempt to merge myself with solid objects, like furniture or walls.

i will if you buy a split mattress/adjustable base set with pillows and sheets from me!

today is such a slow day at work, I'm just sitting doing nothing!
i swear if i get a customer who buys that much from me today it'll be such a blessing id take the rest of today and probably tomorrow off too :vanora_xd:
only so i can do something more interesting

@Totalanimefan:
he spent a ton of money here. sometimes people have too much money to toss around and they begin to act like they're kings lol
not always, but when it happens it always gets so much under my skin



yayyy more recipes appeared!!
\o/
this thread is really to give myself more dinner options lmao

i also love making home made chicken noodle soup! it's never exactly the same twice, cause i never write things down. so I'll forget ingredients or I'll add new ones lmao but it's always delicious!

Posted in how DARE we Posted 2 years ago


how very very dare we
here at my job, schedule a delivery service from 10am-1pm
but show up at 930am.
we tried to call to say we are ahead of schedule
but he gave us a business number so we didn't know what to think.
so we knock on his door thinking it's better to try than to not show up, most people don't answer their phones anyways.

oh but this wakes him up and now he's so angry he has to harass the store with like 3 phone calls to repeat himself about how he absolutely can't wrap his mind around why we would come early and he wants to just cancel everything he ordered because we inconvenienced him so badly.

:vanora_worried:
like i get it's inconvenient but why do customers act like such babies over things sometimes. people mess up! There's no point in dragging it on when we're literally already refunding delivery, apologizing and rescheduling.

i don't get people!

I agree <3
Like I dont want to come off like I'm dumping the site and gonna go find something more ~active~
just.. more like I wanna think about how can I help contribute to this site? Doesn't have to be bustling but there's gotta be something to hold attention a little longer.

One thing I notice on dappervolk is they have an event going on rn thats a little on the grindy side, but has a gift exchange concept. I.. actually quite like grindy concepts if there's a good reward, yknow? There's a way to balance that and make it fun to work for something. Maybe it would be cool to have something more to do on here to hold peoples' attention, outside of just events. I cant put my finger on a specific idea though XD imnotgoodatthis

@Totalanimefan:
Thats probably what it is, honestly. I was appalled by it at first, but my mom talked me down and explained how these things work and how very expensive it is to get the equipment to spread the salts. And they dont have a long shelf life or soemthing, so its like millions of dollars the city would pour out for something "just in case". Because this weather is unusual and all, there's no reason they would've had it before last year.

I think I've played enough age of empires to understand how balancing resources works and it can take a long time to work up to a concept. XD

But yeah, it was a pretty bad one. I dont think my partner has seen me have a panic attack before, and there's nowhere to pull over or turn around on these roads (poor design, and pullover spots are just ice af) so I kinda feel bad for making him worry but he kept me safe! Haha my darn driving phobia just gave a big ass kick today! I'm fine though

@Koah:
Funny thing about that, my cat is obsessed with water. So leaving the faucets to drip at night has had her so hyper focused that she hasn't been pestering me in my sleep as much this week :vanora_xd:
(she's still a kitten, always wants to play)
That has been real nice lmao

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, I'm glad we didn't try it yesterday. Cause my job didn't actually close, for some reason, even though the rest of the city did (we are obv not "essential" workers, and even then no one should be out in that!) but my manager offered me to stay in so I said YUP

Today we were to be back to normal hours, running like "normal" even though the ice has not gone away at all, if anything its more solid today. Texas doesn't salt the roads here or anything, probably dont have any equipment on hand for this. So it lingers.
I tried going to work while forgetting this detail, and had a good ol panic attack (partner was driving thank goodness), turned around and gave up. So... at home day 2. The city is extra closed today but my job is extra open. Why? DONT KNOW! lol

@Q t e a p o n:
Oh boy, stay safe there! I know canada is bound to be more prepared than texas, but still!
By the forecast it should let up after today. The sun just came out too, so maybe it'll get a little warmer than predicted! I hope the rest of the state is doing ok though, I'm certainly not in the worst area

I see, well I do wish you luck! I hope that things work out in your favor.
If you do end up going, hopefully they make the environment clean and safe to account for pandemic.

@blinkini:
ohh I forgot dappervolk existed lmao
I always thought it was an interesting concept, but idk id always get too distracted to get past the initial tutorial.
I'm trying it again tho, seems like it works decently on mobile O:
something to do at work!

Still, I do prefer the pixel avis we have here. Something so cute about them

Posted in Freeze warning tonight Posted 2 years ago


Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd
I'm off today!
\o/
gaming day!

Posted in I miss when these sites were busier Posted 2 years ago


@blinkini:
Oh, those sites are still active? I haven't visited one in forever. I think the only one I can remember is that uhh... Flights Rising or something like that?
I'm usually more drawn to human-like avis rather than dragons tho ;; as cool as that site was

Posted in What is something you have too much of? Posted 2 years ago
