@Koah: Ooh, new house, that's fun! And yeah there's been a couple times now where the noises have definitely given me pause, if not outright startled me! I think the only thing I kinda sorta have to do today is finally pot the Golden Pothos cuttings I've got, but I may put that off another day. >_>

@Wildfire: Oh I'm certainly not ashamed of being eclectic, hehe, I embrace it! A draw, too, but not very well. But, I just finished a 100 Days of Art challenge over on Gaia, and I'm darn proud of that and the half-full sketchbook it created! I also love photography and pixel art. Man I haven't been camping in years. My mom and I almost camped in Key West a couple years ago but turned out the campsite had no shade, and it was miserably hot, so we both kinda noped out of that and ended up at a hotel, lol. And oh boy, that is a transition!

Aw man, you guys are making me miss my books! I had a series of unfortunate events cause some unexpected moves, and my books (and some other things) were left behind with friends. Hopefully I'll be able to get them back eventually, though I don't look forward to the shipping fees. I also had a collection of comics; up until the first move I'd been collecting the Invader Zim comics from the very first issue. I'm bummed that I wasn't able to keep up with it.

Dude working at the Goodwill Bookstore has been so dangerous for me. Like I have so many books now, and like no where to put most of them. It could be worse though. Goodwill employees can't shop at their own stores except on special days. That helps a little bit.

@Another Movie Addict: Oh man, I'll bet! And lol! I can understand that policy; the good stuff would disappear off the shelves if the employees had first dibs!

Yep. Like we just had really nice Michael Jackson and David Bowie records come in, and my boss and I wanted them so bad. But because we can't shop at our own store, they were got customers. XD

@Another Movie Addict: lol! oh gosh! people can be so horrible when it comes to prices. D: Hardback in new condition is worth half the price of the original tag.
OMG. I can't imagine not being able to buy a new item in the shop on my own time. D: That bums me out that goodwill implemented that for their employees.

@Wildfire: I wish it was nice out here today. It's overcast today, I could really use some sunshine, so I hope it clears up soon.

@CooperationIsKey: My newest hobby is gardening. We bought a house in 2020, and the yard is beautiful, but there's only one fruit-bearing tree. I'm a food-plant person.
We're growing peppers inside. OTL but I have to transfer them outside, which will most likely kill them. T^T I've worked so hard on my indoor greenhouse and now I've learned that they won't be fruit-bearing if they aren't outside. XD The flowers are about to bloom on them and they need to be pollinated. XD [I'm new to this and didn't realize this would be a problem lol!]

@Koah: It's to prevent us from getting all the good stuff before customers get a chance. But we are allowed to shop at other Goodwills just fine, lol just not ours except on special days. >w< I did manage to snag a Larc en Ciel cd and Rock-a-Doodle.

@Another Movie Addict: That's fair, I suppose. I ran a consignment shop, and there was a rule in place that was similar- but not quite so intense. We could buy it after 3 days, but the item had to be prominently displayed for customers. And we had to pay full price, so the consigner got their money and she shop made a profit. Otherwise, old items were sold to employees for a discount, but not a great one.

We get a 27% discount on the special days we're allowed to shop at our home store. Otherwise it's a 20% discount at every other Goodwill.

@Koah: My mom's growing a successful garden in her yard, and she's also got a peach tree I think? But she expects the squirrels will get to the fruit before she can. (Pity; I bet she'd make some killer preserves with 'em!) My roommate has tried to convince me to do a veggie garden in the back yard (her house; I rent a room), but I know it'd be a ton of work to prepare the yard for it. Maybe if I could buy some 5-gallon buckets and some good soil, or at least build a little raised bed. But I'm just not prepared to do all the digging and junk in this section of yard that hasn't been maintained in literally years (at least as long as I've lived here, and I've lived here three years).

I'd love to grow tomatoes, and maybe bell peppers... and pumpkins. Just because I really love pumpkins, lol. To be perfectly honest, with your peppers, I uh, hadn't really considered that problem either!! We have a seemingly decent population of bees in the area here apparently, so at least if I did do veggies sometime I'm sure they'd get plenty pollinated. Good luck with your peppers, I really hope it works out!

@Another Movie Addict: That's not a bad discount at all! I admit I'm a little jealous. I haven't even been able to go to a thrift shop in the longest time. I miss it! And antique stores. I used to hit those up with my mom all the time growing up.

I do like working in the store to be honest. >w> Totally bought a sword recently.

@Another Movie Addict: Aw, man, I want a sword! lol.

I actually once had a plan to make a "weapons display" and have it be all like video game prop weapons, like a Minecraft sword and junk like that. Never managed to make that one happen and I'm not sure it still really gels with my aesthetic now.

I thought it would look great with my fursuit. First time using it in suit, I almost cut a friend's dick.

@Another Movie Addict: That's a comfortable discount. Encouraging enough to use it, but not enough to make you spend your whole paycheck on stuff.
when I worked in a hippy shop, I had a 50% off discount, so my paycheck would disappear pretty quickly. e.e"

@CooperationIsKey: I do recommend the 5-gallon buckets with good soil. I'm doing that with zucchini. My yard is overgrown and the previous owners did a fabulous job of maintaining the yard, however, once they stopped, everything overgrew. So I'm dealing with a massive garden with no experience.
There are flowers, vines, trees, walking paths, and ponds.. =O
I began my own garden this year in buckets and I've been putting them around the yard trying to figure out where I want to uproot and re-do areas.
I feel the pain of needing to tear up a garden area.

@Purpsy: Semi-homemade ice cream sounds nice. xD You may want to let the crushed Oreos sit in the ice cream a bit before consuming, otherwise they'll be hella crunchy! Unless you like that sort of thing. I prefer my cookies softer if I'm having them mixed in.

@Another Movie Addict: What a nice backstory for Uni. :) I'm still developing my drow character, including outfit. I may try to create an avi here of her sometime so that I can request art, or do it myself if I'm confident enough haha. My art skills are hella rusty. Only thing is, I've looked up drow for inspiration on appearance, and in my mind, her skin is much different from the ones I've seen online. But like I said, she is a homebrew character, so could probably get away with that.

@CooperationIsKey: Your avi is coming along nicely. :)

@Wildfire: I swear either the washer or dryer ate my socks. xD Ooor they're hanging out in some random pockets of all of our clothes. xDD Speaking of, I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of mine, and it's becoming a chore, but I'll be so glad when they're gone!

@Aisukohi: I love crunchy oreos as much of the soggy ones so I may experiment on both.

@Koah: Ooh zucchini! Yum. And wow, that sounds incredible! Paths and ponds and all that? We've got a fairly typical suburban fenced back yard here, lol. I have a patch of ground that's primarily weeds and cat shit I'd be working with. :P Good luck with your garden!

@Aisukohi: Thank you! I has shoes now! XD
