happy birthday pooooh!

Crisis averted!

I've got like five tabs open, my phone would've self-immolated by that point

I'm very sorry to hear about everything and you have my condolences, but also welcome back. We're still in the business of general nostalgia, even if the anniversary is over. I know we have a boardiversary thread in .com and we may also still have a shout out or general nostalgia thread (can't remember but at work and trying to be quick) for that type of stuff. Someone from the old boards told me a long time ago that the reason we'd all stuck around that long (at the time) was because "we were all broken." They didn't mean that in a negative way, but rather we all had a hole in our lives, whether socially, family emotionally, or otherwise, and this community in one way or another somehow managed to fill that void in our lives. I tend to think that it's probably true, and I think that it's all the more reason to want to keep this place around. Traffic ebs and flows from month to month, but people keep coming back whether routinely or just from time to time because they have that connection. There's definitely value here even if we're a bunch of grumpy old farts, and I guess that's all I'm trying to say.

happy birthday @Mewn!

I'd lie to you if I didn't say living and working in range of pokestops (and having a giant park down the street) weren't core to my persisting

On the bright side, it's not quite as much as the regular 2x XP but you still got the 1.5x out of it

in no particular order better food budget/diet control and also exercise responsible sleep schedule/stop staying up so dang late and regretting it all day until I decide to stay up late again the following night make effort to do more "family activities" that the babbs will enjoy in the moment and also appreciate in the long term now that she's old enough to start remembering things forever make and stick to an actual home improvement plan so that this shithole starter house could theoretically be put on the market before the heat death of the universe but also ideally before the babbs starts school/making babby friends consciously and aggressively plow leftover money into student loans while I cry
