i remember in 2nd grade we were reading a book out loud and i felt like i was gonna make a fart, so i took my sweater and layed it around my legs to hopefully soften the sound, then i let it loose and "PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPRRROOOOOOOOBBRBRBBRBBRB" it said

and it was just the loudest of the loudest farts ever

[wise flame]

hi Chair! How are you on this fine Friday morning?

[hallow kite]

Bored haha. Last day of working, gonna chill a lot. How's yours?

[wise flame]

getting ready for class, which luckily isn't too long today and then looking forward to the weekend

[solid harbor]

ello peeps!

[limpid yacht]

yo yo yo lilyane

[solid harbor]

Hiya Vitrus!

[stable plover]

[ruby reef]

two guys are sitting at a restaurant, rdy to order drinks
the first guy tells the waiter that he'dd like some H2O
the other guy responds saying he would like some H2O too
they get their drinks and do a toast, the other guy chokes and dies

[solid harbor]

H2O2

i like that

[ruby reef]

^^

[solid harbor]

Does one actually drop dead after consuming it?

Or is there still time to get to the ER

Hm, looks like there's time to get treatment but odds aren't really in your favor if you consume it.. what happens when you come out isn't great too.. consuming high percentage can leave you disabled or dead.
One article is right in saying turning it lime green (with a foul odour, maybe?) would probably deter people from consuming it.

[tiny vector]

are we talking commercial grade or pure is the question. You could probably survive a toast with like the commonly available concentrations. But 100% pure? Probs ded i'd imagine.

Also hello and good day to you 🙂

[solid harbor]

The diluted version is probably the one referred to in the joke, why would a restaurant have hydrogen peroxide (35% or 100%)?

[tiny vector]

the customer is always right

[onyx quarry]

Happy Friday all

[median brook]

Yeaaaaah! Friday!!!

[onyx quarry]

[hallow kite]

IT IS FRIDAY MY DUDES

[onyx quarry]

Hi chair

[median brook]

Woohoo!! Hi chair hi Cinna ^^ hope you’re both doing wonderful

[onyx quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/celebration-happy-yay-yes-handsup-gif-5471438

[median brook]

And that you don’t have to work weekend!! Not allowed, you need rest

[onyx quarry]

I rested yesterday :3

Had the day off for Veterans Day holiday

[median brook]

A mid week work nap as they call it :3

You get today as a bridge day?

[onyx quarry]

It was very confusing

Lol bridge day

Indeed!

[median brook]

What do you call it..?

Back home it’s called (directly translated) “squeeze day”

But I reckon bridge day is more English xD

[hallow kite]

HAI CINNA HAI BERRYBOI

[wary dune]

hi Chair, Cinna

[onyx quarry]

Ohh I don't think I've ever called it anything lol

Bridge makes sense to me lol

Americans don't get a lot of time off so maybe we don't have a word for it lmao

[onyx quarry]

Your Highness, the High Chair

[wary dune]

Friday to me ( when I was at work was ) ... almost the weekend day

[hallow kite]

hii Xrystaal!

[hallow kite]

The Chairest of Chairs

[onyx quarry]

Lol he means since America had a bank holiday yesterday (well only some Americans get to observe it. Because freedom stuff I guessss). So off Thurs. Work today. Back off tomorrow

[wary dune]

oh .. gotcha .. a special work day between 2 non work days .. yeah we don't have any of those

[onyx quarry]

So British English doesn't give it a name either? Lol

Now I'm mega intrigued

[median brook]

Well us Swedes love our holidays and as many holidays as the government can force upon companies the better

[gray sluice]

You lived in the uk you nugget how do you not know that

[wary dune]

We're crafty .. we just have long weekends ... vacation day on a weekend ? Have the Friday off ... Vacation on a sunday ? Have the monday off .. if Xmas falls on a weekend ... we get Friday and Monday off 🤣

[onyx quarry]

YOURE A NUGGET

[median brook]

Here it’s so extreme that if a holiday at all falls on a Sunday you get Monday off

And if it falls on a Thursday you get Friday off too

It’s to ensure that you get A DAY OFF from work because of a holiday, you’re not denied a day off because you already had the day off

[wary dune]

I don't recall any mid week holidays .. they're always a Friday or Monday

[onyx quarry]

Normally that's what we do with The Big Holidays but Veterans day isn't observed by every employer

Even though it's a federal holiday

[median brook]

You know what holiday may 1st is, here?

[onyx quarry]

May day...?

[median brook]

We call it “May 1st” and it’s always a day off

Why? Because we decided so

[raw fjord]

This is a great Friday, I've had no power almost 4 hours so far👌

Livin' the Amish life

[onyx quarry]

May 1 = Workers Day /Labor Day

Or in England the early May bank holiday

[median brook]

Like Weird Al always wanted

[onyx quarry]

Cuz there's the late May bank holiday lolll

[median brook]

Is it the paradise he claims?

[raw fjord]

An Amish paradise

[wary dune]

May Day in UK = First Monday in May ... August Bank Holiday .. Last Monday in August

[median brook]

I don’t like when banks take holidays, they have my money! How dare they take time off so I can’t spend it

[onyx quarry]

Talk to the Queen

[median brook]

I’m gonna send an angry letter asking why I don’t know her last name

[wary dune]

Its Windsor 😛

[median brook]

Gonna send one to Obama too, what is his last name really?

[wary dune]

[onyx quarry]

[solid harbor]

Obama

[median brook]

Queen Elizabeth Buckingham the 3rd of Londonham

[onyx quarry]

Emphasis on ham

[median brook]

Why does all cities in UK end with ham?

[onyx quarry]

[solid harbor]

It's raining ham~

[raw fjord]

Ham.......

[median brook]

Got burningham, buckingham, londonham, liverpoolham, lgoovlclsifuvjrosiwlallwkfjfjfkgogogooch..ham

[solid harbor]

O.O

[raw fjord]

🍔

This is the closest thing

There is a place in Germany called hamburg I think

[solid harbor]

ham-mer head shark

mershark with a ham head

[onyx quarry]

Peppapigham

[wary dune]

That is a good question .. research time as I can't remember if I found that out before

[onyx quarry]

[median brook]

Shredded bacon is just a peppa jigsaw puzzle, change my mind?

[solid harbor]

you can't eat Peppa

It'll give you nightmares

[median brook]

I put peppa and salt on most of my food

[onyx quarry]

[wary dune]

Aha .. de sauce ov de nayme iz ... Buckingham Name Meaning: Originates from the placed named Buckinghamshire and is comprised of the Anglo-Saxon, words, 'hamm', meaning 'water meadow', 'ing' meaning 'people of' and 'Bucca'which the leader of the first Anglo Saxon settlers. Taken from the place name, Buckinghamshire.

[onyx quarry]

Sounds like something my mom would say lol

[median brook]

Interesting..

So it’s Burninghamwatermedow

And leaderingwatermedow

[wary dune]

Nah .. The Water Meadow where the people of Bucca live

[median brook]

But what about Birmingham?

[onyx quarry]

Bucatini is a noodle and I'm sticking to it

[median brook]

YES

[onyx quarry]

I'm also going back to work. Toodles

[median brook]

Is it green?

[solid harbor]

Water meadow sounds cool, honestly

[wary dune]

Birm is the person maybe

[solid harbor]

It's a swamp

[onyx quarry]

Ni

But tasty

[median brook]

Mmmmm so it’s red

[onyx quarry]

Sure.

K baii

[median brook]

Woho! Good luck at work Cinna!

If I see you I’ll scream!

[solid harbor]

sound the sirens

[wary dune]

Research Findings : The name "Birmingham" comes from the Old English Beormingahām, meaning the home or settlement of the Beormingas – a tribe or clan whose name literally means "Beorma's people" and which may have formed an early unit of Anglo-Saxon administration.

So ... ... ham are places with Anglo Saxon history ... noted

[solid harbor]

hamm is still inside.
Water meadow is an area of grassland subject to controlled irrigation to increase agricultural productivity
Are water meadows a common sight in England?

[wary dune]

Water in general is common in England .. we're an island 😛

Lets just say .. our house may be under water in 30 years .. we're that close to the water level

[solid harbor]

..oh dear...

[wary dune]

But the railway at the bottom of the garden may help swallow some of the water .. so we might be one of the lucky ones

[midnight otter]

@unique shoal ahhh why is that is it cause of work?

[unique shoal]

Yea mainly, but I've kind of gotten used to it now, so it's not too big of a deal. Its the days that I only get like 2-3 hours of sleep that's rough

But they rarely happen thankfully

[midnight otter]

Well that's good you really need your rest😤 are there times where you can take naps?

That's what I do when I feel super tired it rarely happens but sometimes I'll just ko cause I'm too tired

[unique shoal]

Not really, because I work a good bit I don't get to nap until my off days

But I am gonna go ahead and try to sleep though, I'll catch ya when I get up later though. Hope school is going good so far!

[midnight otter]

Ohhhh okay yes it is and sleep well!

[lavish sentinel]

That off topic chat was my bad, was interested in why others are here (Palia related) which leant into a tell me more haha

[wary dune]

it happens. the mods are quite reasonable when asking you to move to another channel. They don't mind a sentence here and there but when a conversation starts they do like it in the right channel 🙂

[lavish sentinel]

yeah 2 msgs were off topic r.i.p

[vale falcon]

yeah i got booped too

wasnt even talking about other game play was just asking a question

oh well

[wary dune]

They probably worried that it would extend to a discussion. That's usually what they mean with take it to another channel. If that was all you were gonna say .. no problems 🙂

and hi Birdie

[median brook]

You got this chair!

[hallow kite]

I WILL BECOME THE STRONGEST CHAIR IN THE UNIVERSE

[limpid yacht]

Oh shiiiit

[median brook]

Just don’t quit after 3 weeks like everyone does ;3

[limpid yacht]

You wont kill me will ya?

[median brook]

NEW YEAR NEW ME, for 2 weeks, tops

[hallow kite]

It's always 3 weeks isn't it

[wise flame]

3 weeks? pfft, I managed to keep it up for 3 days

[median brook]

3 weeks is how long it takes to start making a new habit, so you’re very likely to quit before that. That’s why

[limpid yacht]

Pffft who quits after 3 week. Definitely not me…

[hallow kite]

Yeah, no, this time Im serious. I wanna carry my gf in one hand and all the pink stuff she bought in the other

[median brook]

Then I believe in you

[limpid yacht]

You even got a gf?!?!

[median brook]

Me and the gf decided to start working out for real and we’ve been going strong now for 4 months

[limpid yacht]

You too!???

[hallow kite]

Yeah Im basically a demigod, I would date myself

Now I need to look like one

[median brook]

And I’m just straight up perfection, but even perfection can be built upon

[limpid yacht]

Damm im just by myself, crying and eating oreo icecream, and then working out like a bodybuilder on drugs…

[wary dune]

hi Chair, Berry, KJ

[hallow kite]

THERE IS ALWAYS A ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT AND THAT WOULD BE HEAVIER LIFTS

[median brook]

You got time

[wary dune]

hi Vitus

[limpid yacht]

Oh hi:D

[hallow kite]

Hey you'll get there one day. It happens always when you last expect it

HOI CRYSTAL!

[limpid yacht]

Haha i was mainly kidding except about the working out and eating icecream xD

[median brook]

If you want a partner that is. Finding a partner is like playing with legos, if you look for one you won’t find it

[hallow kite]

Legos are also hard to separate

[median brook]

And the one you find isn’t what you really wanted

[limpid yacht]

i LOVE oreo icecream

Listen guys, i know yall are very poem mode rn, but it was just a joke, im currently dating someone so dont worry❤️

[median brook]

POEM MODE?! How dare, I’m just naturally metaphorical

[limpid yacht]

Hahaha

[median brook]

My poise is beyond compare, I’ll have you know

[wary dune]

don't you mean prose ?

[limpid yacht]

I do be feeling a sad feeling for behaving in such a way that you fine sir berry was offended

[median brook]

I’m Swedish and a sociopath, I can’t get offended, don’t worry

I’m the most neutral there is

[wary dune]

killing of chapaa ... waits for it ..

[limpid yacht]

Im danish with a fucked up humor so i will hardly get offended too

[limpid yacht]

EHAT!!!!

[median brook]

<Edna Mode>
NO EATING THE CHAPAAS

[wary dune]

[median brook]

[limpid yacht]

[limpid yacht]

Use what?

[median brook]

Just for meeeeee MWHAHAHAHA

[limpid yacht]

Wait im confused af rn

[wary dune]

[median brook]

(It’s submitted but currently only I can use it cause I have it in my test server)

[limpid yacht]

The killing chapaa one or the angel

[median brook]

^

[limpid yacht]

Ah

[wary dune]

I wouldn't dream of killing chapaa .. but .. I knew it would kick Berry off

[median brook]

Thank you ^^ I love the little fella

[limpid yacht]

Oohohho this turned out weird lol

If you didnt knew the context of berry actually saying thx to me ahhaha

[wary dune]

nah it's close enough for people to see the reference

[median brook]

And me saying thank you for not killing chapaas, works, too

[wary dune]

that too

[limpid yacht]

Oh yeah😆

I built something in minecraft

[wary dune]

[median brook]

What I liked most was the synergy, it all had a good flow, looked cohesive ^^

[limpid yacht]

Synergy?

[median brook]

(Side note that grass roofs are pretty damn neat)

[limpid yacht]

Thx its actually moss rofl

[median brook]

Yeah synergy, it all worked together, the house fit the terrain and the shape of the house with the hill, etc etc

Me artist, that’s what me look at xD

[limpid yacht]

[desert coral]

Dude, I was fully obsessed with it whenever it came out. The first 20 seconds or whatever... my serotonin levels rise.

[limpid yacht]

ey if you loved the intro the song called touch the sky by kanye west is a really good song too

[desert coral]

I shall listen to it as soon as my current song is over! Thank you for the recommendation. 👏

[limpid yacht]

ohhhh that is pretty tasty that sounds delicious T-T thats amazing though

[limpid yacht]

it is, and if im ever seeing my old cooking teacher imma serve her this and tell her "who is mentally challenged in a kitchen now biatch"

[midnight otter]

that is kinda rood tho T-T

[limpid yacht]

[limpid yacht]

[unique shoal]

[midnight otter]

thats good im glad youre getting sleep 😤 are you still as tired or are you getting more rest

[limpid yacht]

i slept 14 hours today

[unique shoal]

im still prety tired haha it happens though when youre on nightshift, thankfully its not permanent

[midnight otter]

now thats pretty nice my brain wakes me up at like 7 hours so thats amazing

[limpid yacht]

lol

[midnight otter]

ahhhhh i getcha and when will it stop?

[limpid yacht]

im a teenager so what else am i supposed to do other than sleep xD

[unique shoal]

probably in about 4-6 months from now lol i wish i could sleep 14 hours 😂 im working like 60 hours a week right now, so i couldnt sleep that long even if i wanted to

[midnight otter]

true true and thats good though sleep is good for you 😤

[limpid yacht]

yuh xD

[midnight otter]

ahhh i understand ya well i look forward to the time you are able to get a good nights rest 😤

[unique shoal]

[gaunt belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/theowlhouse-hooty-hoot-hoot-hoot-gif-18105457 can I get this for my palia house ?

[unique shoal]

hoot hoot theres a noot

[midnight otter]

i will worry anyway sleep is important 😤

[unique shoal]

well i appreciate ya! hows the party going? or is it already over

[midnight otter]

well my sister went over to our mom's to spend the rest of the day with her but maybe when she gets home we can play monopoly but for now its mostly over

it was a wonderful day tho!

[unique shoal]

ahh i see, well im glad to hear it was a wonderful day! and i used to love playing monopoly with my cousins!

we dont ever play it or have any game nights because we all grew up and now stay busy with life lol

[midnight otter]

i totally understand ya thatll probably happen when i go to college but i will enjoy it while i still have it

same monopoly is so fun man

[unique shoal]

you have any idea on colleges youre interested in?

actually wait thats pretty private info, ignore that question xD

[midnight otter]

yeah i do and i was about to blab them off but yes i do lol

[unique shoal]

yea lets not do that haha i hate to admit it but there are those kind of people out there, gotta stay safe girl!

[midnight otter]

definitely true! do have to stay safe

but i can tell you what im going into i think

[unique shoal]

yea that should be fine, what you interested in for a career?

[midnight otter]

i am interested in astrophysics i love space and bugs but mostly space and i really wanna study combining quantum theory and general and special relativity

i think it would be able to help us out alot

[unique shoal]

oooh, we got ourselves a girl that has the smarticles

[midnight otter]

lol i just really like space

[unique shoal]

yea ive always been interested in astrophysics too!

[median brook]

I’ll do a pop quiz for you when I get to quantum in 2 years

[midnight otter]

eeeeeeee i cant wait! i really love the subject man

[midnight otter]

ooooou what do ya like about it

[unique shoal]

i took a quatum mechanic college course in highschool, it was interesting, but definitely not the same haha

[median brook]

Same, all I got now is scarce knowledge, I look forward to a physics degree ^^ it’s super interesting

[midnight otter]

ahhhh i understand ya the highest we have is calculus and physics sadly so i didnt get to try out stuff like that T-T

[unique shoal]

oh man whats not to like, i love researching different theories in the category alot, what peaked my interest into dabbling into the field was how black holes come to be, and i saw like one of the first articles and papers on dark matter\

i was sold after that

[midnight otter]

sameee i really am looking forward to getting a doctorates degree thats what i plan to do because there are alot of questions i have that i really would like to be answered!

[median brook]

There’s a Nobel just waiting for whoever can figure out what dark matter is

[midnight otter]

yeahhhh i know what you were talking about i found those interesting too! my favorite part was finding out how gravitational waves are made and how light can act as both a particle and a wave i found that super interesting!

[median brook]

Fun factoid about the Nobel prize: Alfred Nobel didn’t want to be remembered as the man who invented dynamite, so he started the Nobel prize to celebrate revolutionary work instead

[midnight otter]

whoaaaaa thats pretty neat!

[median brook]

He’s a pride to Swedes everywhere

[midnight otter]

he definitely is!

[unique shoal]

yes! theres just so much to know, it definitely keeps my brain at 100%!

[midnight otter]

there really is i cant wait to study it! im always annoying my friends talking about it

[unique shoal]

starting next week im off 3 days a week, id love to chit chat about it if you want!

[midnight otter]

id love that! it would be nice to have conversations about this stuff and getting an opinion on the stuff im talking about

[unique shoal]

for sure! i do have to go now, gotta get ready for this thing called work lol. ill talk with ya later though!

everyone have a good night!

[midnight otter]

goodnight! work well and dont overwork yourself and also make sure to get some rest if you can!

i look forward to talking to ya again!

[median brook]

Nighty night ^^

[midnight otter]

berry what are you learning about now? if youre learning about quatum theory in two years?

[median brook]

Advanced mathematics, mechanics and physics ^^

Phd not masters, won’t do quantum until later

Working towards a masters

[midnight otter]

ooooou what types of math ive only gotten to cal 1 in high school but i have some friends that are working in cal 2 and it is amazing some of the things they are learning

ohhhhhh thats really interesting i getcha

[unique shoal]

the feelings mutual!

[median brook]

A bunch of functions, equations, algebra, differential stuff, I only just started up again this year

Been out of college for 8 years, decided to go back and change careers

[midnight otter]

ahhhh i getcha so the type of stuff im learning thats really cool! i would have been doing the same cause i was originally going into neurosurgery but it wasnt something i wanted to do

[median brook]

Took energy-technology, electromechanics, alarms, engine studies, lighting and computer science/programming and logical functions last year

Which is what I just graduated from ^^

[midnight otter]

whooaaa that is amazing that is amazing so is that what your degree is in for your bachelors how does it work cause i am prepping for college now

[midnight otter]

congratulations man! i am really proud of you! 🥳

[median brook]

I think it may differ a bit from country to country, what I did now was a prep year before university so I’d have qualifications to go for a phd and masters in physics and engineering

Since I’d been out of school for so long

[midnight otter]

ohhhhh okay it seemed like with what you were studying you were going for engineering thats really cool! youre also doing physics as well so are you double majoring? is that double majoring? ahhhh i getcha

[median brook]

Nah it’s one major, physics and engineering are the same phd here, they’re just separated into experimental/practical/theoretical

[midnight otter]

ohhhhhh okay that makes sense thats really cool!

what part are you going into practical experimental or theoretical?

or do you have to do all of them?

sorry if im asking too many questions T-T i do that alot

[median brook]

The university I’m going to I’ll be getting a practical/experimental degree so I can/will work as an engineer in product development ^^ that education is 3 years, and I have a guaranteed spot if I want to build onto that education for an additional 2 years to go into more theoretical work with a masters

[stable plover]

[median brook]

You can ask as many questions as you like, never a reason not to ask questions ^^ not all questions will get answered but asking should always be encouraged

[midnight otter]

ooooooou thats so cool that sounds so fun! thats really cool youre working towards being in product development

[median brook]

Hey Shrew ^^ what’s the hold up?

[stable plover]

I took a long nap. However I await for the next year to be with more Pals

[median brook]

I’m currently certified to work as an electrician (last year’s studies) but personally I’ll work better on the end that develops new technology rather than installs it, so I decided to keep going with the degree

And yes, it is super cool! Lots of tech, science and tinkering ^^ perfect for what I need and want

[midnight otter]

ahhhhhhhh thats so cool i cant wait to start studying that makes sense tho!

[median brook]

Knowledge is power! Got my fingers crossed you’ll find and get to an education you love!

[midnight otter]

for me i like researching in a lab and doing experiments and writing lab papers so ill be more towards the theoretical and experimental side of physics but i would like for what i find to be able to help further technology whether that be with computers or spacecraft

[midnight otter]

thanks man and that is definitely true that is like one of my core values so im always looking to learn something new!

[median brook]

I dropped out of 3 college degrees because I felt they weren’t for me, gotta do something that’s interesting to you

Decided to work instead until I knew what I wanted, it was a good choice for me personally

[midnight otter]

i totally understand ya i tried to find what i liked early and while i liked learning about the brain it wasnt something i could spend the rest of my life doing but i still love science and i always ask questions about the world around so what subject better than physics

[median brook]

Obviously you can’t just go around saying “drop out it’s a good idea”, it isn’t what I mean

[midnight otter]

i totally get whatcha mean! its better to do something you love than do something you hate for the rest of your life

[median brook]

I just don’t feel it’s beneficial to ask a 16-18 year old what they wanna do the rest of their lives. And I had no idea so I decided to wait, so in that case it worked out

[midnight otter]

thats definitely true

we definitely dont even know most things about the world and how to survive so asking something of that nature is very burdensome and can cause consequences that could have been avoided

[median brook]

You’re still a child at 18, let’s be honest.. it sucks when you’re 18 to hear but you’ll agree when you close in on 30 haha

[unique shoal]

very smart of you, i cant tell you how many of my older friends said they messed up rushing into college on something they were on the fence about doing, and are 10+ years into that career and are miserable

[midnight otter]

its better to find out what you like on your own and learn how to survive first that way you are able to sustain yourself while doing something you love

[unique shoal]

luckily i lucked out and found something that i think ill be fine with doing early on, but definitely dont be afraid to wait a bit and find what you love. its better to wait and enjoy your work life than to rush in and be miserable

[midnight otter]

i understand ya and i agree it has caused a lot of pain being asked what i wanted to be when i gre up while i grew up

[median brook]

ASTRONAUT!

[unique shoal]

Paleontologist!

[midnight otter]

i always said doctor because i felt my parents held me up to high standards

but that wasnt something i really truly liked

[median brook]

I put myself up to certain standards, gotta get better ^^

But I got a sister who is very successful and hardworking, so I got competition xD

[midnight otter]

i always put myself to low standards cause i have too many intelligent friends that are super smart

[midnight otter]

but you got dis you'll be just as successful as her!

[median brook]

Thank you

[unique shoal]

you seem very motivated and dedicated, its hard not to compare yourself to others, but we all have a niche. youll find yours and youll succeed

[median brook]

I gotta nip out, it’s midnight and I got couch dwelling to do with a special someone! Love all of you, nighty night pals ^^

[unique shoal]

have a good one Berry!

i do have to head out here in a few minutes for work, ugh its my friday though!

[midnight otter]

good night! have fun!

[median brook]

Best tip I can give you, only ever compete with yourself. Become better than you are, not than someone else is!

[midnight otter]

thank you! i really hope i do too!

[midnight otter]

thats a great tip and i will be putting it in my phone so i can see it everyday! that will help me alot!

[midnight otter]

I totally understand ya but you got dis!

pineapple in hamburgers or on pizza is a choice i would make, but i can assume that there will be those that vehemently reject this notion of pizza topping or burger filling.

[wary dune]

pineapple on pizza yum

[unique shoal]

im a weird one, i like it on pizza, but prefer it without it. i dont dislike that its used as a topping lol

[median brook]

I like food, that’s my comment on it

[ruby reef]

anything is allowed on a pizza as long as the one eating it likes it

[limpid yacht]

True

[midnight otter]

same i didnt like the rest of it

[unique shoal]

sleeping, i have gotten the sicks 😫

[midnight otter]

awwwww well at least you can take sick days and get some rest is it a cold?

[unique shoal]

yea its been really cold here, and its my off days now, so hopefully i can nurse myself up to better health. i think its just a cold, so its not the worst thing in the world

[midnight otter]

ahhh i understand ya and it has been really cold! i love it though but its not good for some peoples immune system T-T i hope you feel better tho! drink lots of soup and water

[unique shoal]

i love the cold, i rarely get sick, so when i do, it hits pretty hard. fall, winter, and spring are my favorite times of the year, i do not like summer haha. the only part of summer i enjoy is the vacational opportunities it brings

[midnight otter]

same i really dislike the heat man T-T fall and winter are my favorite seasons

i wear 4 layers all year around though so that could be a prblem

[unique shoal]

i absolutely agree haha

well i dont wear all the layers, if i do get cold, i usually just throw on a jacket, or every once in a while a robe at home

[midnight otter]

totally understand ya there

[unique shoal]

so how has your day been?

[midnight otter]

its been pretty okay i played video games for most of it had dinner and then i am working on homework now

almost forgot about my homework till i looked at the time

[unique shoal]

oooh, that reminds me, i should eat something soon lol. yea i was gonna ask about your homework, i think i read earlier that you had some you had to do

dont let me hold you back though! you need to get it done 😤

[midnight otter]

yeah its physics and english homework pretty much and you should definitely eat something 😤

true dat i would like to get ahead so i can be free for 2 weeks and dont have to worry about this class

[unique shoal]

you got this! im gonna order pizza probably! its always good to catch up

ill leave ya to it then!

[midnight otter]

[young ore]

I'm okay

Trudging along

[midnight otter]

[young ore]

My partner got a new car a bit ago

Haven't seen her so happy in a while

im also happy cause she can have her cold side of the car while I keep my side temperate

[uneven sierra]

How awesome is that!

What car is it if you don’t mind me asking? I love cars!

[limpid yacht]

Whats your dream car!?:D

[uneven sierra]

Oh man that’s a tough choice @limpid yacht! I have always wanted a white BMW X6 (I’m actually a fan of the older models, but the new ones are pretty too!) and Mercedes-Benz (I don’t have a favorite model)! But the white Tesla models X and Y have stolen my heart recently! I’m stuck between the BMW X6 and the Teslas!

What about you?!

[hallow kite]

MORNING!

[young ore]

A Corolla Cross

Not particularly fancy but she can proudly say it's hers

Actually lemme rephrase that

It's nice for sure

[uneven sierra]

That’s a very beautiful car!

[limpid yacht]

sitting in Alabama, having an existential crisis...

[inner ice]

Hey. I wanted to say sorry for makin' people uncomfortable when I was last here. A lot of stuff was going on for me in life and I was in a bad place, and I felt pretty cornered and I just. Snapped and lashed out.

Sorry about that.

I put this here b/c it's applicable to more people than I can remember, so. I just hope everyone who was there sees it.

Sorry for bringing it back up.

I was still following the Palia account on twitter and realized I really did miss this place, just. Needed time away. And for my life to settle.

How's everyone been doing?

[wise flame]

Hi Claris! Happy to hear that you're doing better now and also welcome back. On my part I've been doing pretty good, kinda tired, busy with college, but all in all I've been having a good time.

[inner ice]

College will definitely keep you busy and tired, yeah. Glad you're having a good time overall, though!

I probably won't be as interactive as before, just...I don't want to risk my temper breaking like before, and I fear that with big communities, it's definitely a risk. Even with my life in a better place.

I think it's mostly how social interaction saps me, though.

I have to measure myself, you know?

[wise flame]

Sure. do what you're comforatble with

[inner ice]

As to what I've been keeping busy with, I joined a fanproject a while back to make an open-source engine replicating an old GBA series.

[wary dune]

I get stressed out as well Claris. I usually disappear for a bit and wait until I calm down if I've got agitated for one reason or another. If I feel the need to comment I open up notepad and type it in there ... then close and not save it .. the fact I wrote it helps and no one gets upset by any lashing out I may do if I had typed it in chat

[inner ice]

Been measuring down to specific pixels and the like to make sure everything is 🤏 this close to perfection to the GBA originals.

[inner ice]

This is good advice, honestly.

[wary dune]

Thats of course if I see the signs early enough

[inner ice]

I hope I can spot them, honestly; I've certainly had enough practice over the years!

[scarlet token]

Claris, totally feel you there. Personally, I can be kinda thin-skinned... so if I feel slighted or criticized, I might disappear for a bit. I'm more the "go silent" type 😉 But I have found that much of what might have triggered me, turned out to be much larger in my head than what was intended, so I just try to remind myself that. Doesn't necessarily work to do that, but I still try.. lol

I have Fibromyalgia, and something we learn to live with are "spoons". I have so many for a given day, and I have to spend them wisely. Something that takes too much energy for me, whether I like it or not, has to fall to the bottom of my list of activities.

[hallow kite]

Ey yoo its Claris!

I missed u

[limpid yacht]

Eyo wtf

[limpid yacht]

Yes

Or used to

[median brook]

No, it’s all Sweden

[limpid yacht]

In the viking era we owned south sweden, all of norway, almost all of germany coast, and a lot of british east coast

[gray sluice]

lmao, I have a Danish friend who I was messing with a while ago so I made that and I just kept it around

[limpid yacht]

Pog

[raw fjord]

We are the vikings that say, NIIIIIIIIIIIII

Wait it's the other way, NNNNNNII

[gray sluice]

YOU MUST BRING ME...... A SHRUBBERY!

[scarlet token]

brrring me..

[inner ice]

Oh! Spoon theory! Yes, I'm familiar with this :> I follow it as best I can.

[scarlet token]

oh dang.. you beat me to it!!

lol

[gray sluice]

[scarlet token]

fast like a ninja ;P

[inner ice]

Around the time things happened, I...was honestly waking up with about 5 spoons a day, max.

[raw fjord]

What can they not hear, it or is?

[inner ice]

I just had a lot piling on.

That went on until recently, when my dad came home from the hospital.

That's when life began to stabilize.

[scarlet token]

yeah. I totally get you. This time of year, I'm lucky if I can stay awake all day. I'll take 2 - 3 naps a day in the fall. Guess it's t he weather change?

oooh... wow. yeah. Having dad in the hospital can take a LOT of spoons.

[hallow kite]

Im confused

[inner ice]

Garnet and I are kind of having our own conversatoin, sorry; maybe we should move it.

[hallow kite]

What are spoons for?

[inner ice]

Oh!

[raw fjord]

Spoons? Like throwing sticky hands on a wall? 5 spoons in the wall?

[median brook]

Coping psychology method, if I am to phrase it correctly

Please correct me if I didn’t

[hallow kite]

Nah Im just stupid Claris haha

[inner ice]

I'd put it like...an energy measurement method?

[scarlet token]

LOL yes... it's a "budget" for energy/capabilities.

[inner ice]

Every activity takes X amount of spoons

and how many spoons it takes can vary day by day.

[raw fjord]

Oh gatcha

[hallow kite]

Oh wow this sounds amazing :O

Like

[inner ice]

So like. On a good day, you're so flush with spoons you don't notice that brushing your teeth? That's a spoon.

[scarlet token]

Most people wake up with a good number of spoons, some of us.. maybe half as many? So we have to learn to spend our spoons wisely.

[median brook]

It’s to physically represent an emotional thing, visualize!

[scarlet token]

yup

[hallow kite]

You could have lil wooden blocks with energy bars or something, right?

[scarlet token]

LOL

yeah..

[inner ice]

If that's how it helps you to visualize it, yeah.

[scarlet token]

spoons are easier to hold though, I think.. lol

[limpid yacht]

Denmark WAS THE BIGGEST COUNTRY IN THE NORTH now we are just smol

[inner ice]

We use spoons because of the idea that we carry them with us.

[scarlet token]

I used to think of it as a gas tank.. most folks start their day with a full tank of gas, but mine has a leak somewhere.. so it's only half full when I wake up.

[hallow kite]

Aah I understand

[inner ice]

There's also the neighboring Fork Theory, which is the idea that you wake up with 0 forks stuck in you. Then, as bad things happen to you, you get forks stuck in you.

[scarlet token]

but spoons is the popular theory.

[inner ice]

Your cat ran outside? That's a fork.

[scarlet token]

oh wow.

hadn't heard that one 😦

[inner ice]

After you take too many forks, it odesn't matter how many spoons you have left

you're done for the day.

You're Forked.

[scarlet token]

yup

lol

[median brook]

I like that term

[scarlet token]

me too 🙂

[inner ice]

Every event can be a fork of different size, too, so like

the cat example, that's not horrible

you can get the cat back in

A bad breakup?

that's HUGE.

might instantly ruin your day.

[median brook]

Fork in the thigh, fork in the back, fork in the road

[hallow kite]

Damn I learned something new

[scarlet token]

spork, vrs. salad fork? pitch fork?

[raw fjord]

Interesting analogies

[scarlet token]

it helps to explain to other people who tend to not understand why you can't just DO something... and it helps connect with others with a limited spoon supply.

[inner ice]

So, when my dad was in the hospital and I was at my worst

[hallow kite]

"sorry, not enough spoons"

[scarlet token]

I look hale and healthy, so folks don't understand. They might think I'm lazy.

[inner ice]

I basically woke up every day with 5 spoons to spend (activities I could do)

and 2 forks already in me

(1 huge one, dad in the hospital)

[scarlet token]

that sounds more like an instant fork every morning.

[median brook]

It’s a better explanation than the answer to “how is it hard to just get out of bed” being: it just is

[inner ice]

(1 minor one, cats in heat & constantly screaming)

[raw fjord]

Oh god

[inner ice]

so that was my day to day life for about a month.

[scarlet token]

right. And how can you sleep for 24 hours? I can't do that... well.. I went into the red on spoons the past day, and now I'm making up for it.

[inner ice]

not really sure if my dad was going to live, cats screaming...

:)

fun times!

things have stabilized; he made it, cats are getting to the vet soon

[scarlet token]

oh dang. Cats in heat are the worst...

[median brook]

I got the sleeping covered, go to answer: couldn’t sleep, it got late

[wary dune]

yeah I can understand that .. With my family I know not to take things at glance .. and assume

[hallow kite]

Im glad!

[inner ice]

I'm similar, my disabilities are "invisible"

mostly trauma, but I do have a movement disorder.

it causes a lot of twitching of the hands and such

if I hadn't learned to type before I was inflicted, I genuinely am not sure I could've learned to operate a keyboard.

[hallow kite]

Brb guys gotta take da schiken outta da oven

[scarlet token]

invisible disabilities have challenges of their own. If I'm not in a wheel chair or missing a limb, they think I must be fine, but lazy.

[inner ice]

oh, go go go!

[scarlet token]

I have a spoons meme I'd love to share, but we can't share on this channel I guess?

[inner ice]

hmm

good question

[median brook]

Links work but uploads don’t, so if it’s on a browser it works

[scarlet token]

ah, ok.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/VFyJjadaTEqwntnv0YaEQA.Gr6iaIEyMpnPYUcczbr5R_

oh hey, it worked!!

I like this one, because I like DnD 🙂

[hallow kite]

It... It looks so good

[scarlet token]

I know, right??

[hallow kite]

Sorry garnet I meant my food xD

BUT YOUR THING IS AMAZING

I kinda like the spoon concept.

[slim igloo]

Going to share that one, know a few people that would like it

[raw fjord]

First official snowfall of the season where I am and it was SLEET

[scarlet token]

I would love a light dusting of snow.. we don't get snow very often down here in Alabama, but it has been known to happen. Poor folks here go into shock.. they have no clue how to handle snow and ice. The whole (small) town goes into lock down.. lol

of course no one has chains, and there's no snow plows.

[ruby reef]

i would love to see snow in a winter

we usually don't get any snow till late february/ early march

[scarlet token]

it's beautiful. I used to love it.

[ruby reef]

when i was a kid, we sometimes had snow all december

[scarlet token]

oh nice 🙂

[ruby reef]

and often waist high
