Welcome back, @ThanosReXXX... That's the most colourful wraith ever, @Anti-Matter

Hiya @ThanosReXXX!!

@Zuljaras Is that a spice mining crab?(spice mining=DUNE movie reference) Whatever, the answer is, it's pretty cool!

@ThanosReXXX Well I'm healthy and safe and so is my family and so are my friends. I count that as a win. There's plenty I could complain about but the most important things are there.

Still can't sleep properly without either zquil or... totally legal "edibles".

Yes. You have no idea how happy I am.

@ThanosRexxx welcome back, dude.

@BruceCM
Thanks. 😀

@ThanosReXXX welcome back. Hope all is well.

@ThanosReXXX Welcome back - hope things continue to go well for you!

Dang, it's rare that I have a Monday that is actually better than the previous Friday. Must have something to do with the year.

@Heavyarms55 Not trading regional exclusives would be my best guess as well. I do enjoy traveling, but I haven't been outside the continental US outside of a short cruise when I was a child. I'm not so keen to travel these days for obvious reasons, but previously the biggest barriers have been money and being able to take enough time off.

I seem to have allergies to both pollen and dying/rotting plants lol. Nothing severe, but I have to use eye drops more often on some days and definitely deal with a few sneezing fits if I inhale enough dirt and whatever else is currently in the air. It's rare that I need to medicate anything besides my eyes.

@ThanosReXXX HE LIVES! I figured you just took some time off, assumed it was due to the new job and/or personal reasons. If I didn't have you as a friend on the Switch, I would've been more concerned if there wasn't the occasional blip of account activity. XD I hope that your father is doing better and am glad to read that you're feeling better as well.

Welcome back! Feel free to stick around.

Tomorrow I have to put down one of my guinea pigs. Found out today he's got cancer and it's pretty severe. Not what I was hoping to start my day off with tomorrow.

@Tasuki jeez im sorry man. Putting down a put is just as hard as losing a friend or family member at times.

@Tyranexx Yeah. Watching TV or reading books would sometimes make it seem like travel is a reasonable thing to have as a hobby, but it's really not. It's a very expensive thing to do, especially by air or sea. Arguably I travelled all over Japan while I lived there, but that was because Japan is comparatively small and has some of the best mass transit around. From what I have read, Europe has somewhat comparable systems within Europe, but again, that's still land locked... and the UK. Flying overseas is a massive expense!

I don't see why they don't just add it and tack on a massive stardust fee for regional Pokemon. Like, honestly, I'd have dropped 100k stardust on a Heracross. I got lucky that I met a person from Brazil who traded me one in person while I was in Japan. Even if it was a more expensive trade, lots of us would use the system. All of my closest friends are spread out between Japan, Michigan, New Mexico, Utah, California and Texas. None of those are a reasonable day trip. I could probably visit Cali or New Mexico over a few days but that ain't like visiting someone downtown.

@Tasuki I am so sorry for you. I never had a personal experience of putting a pet down, but it's still really sad to see your pet go.

@Tasuki My condolences. I realize it must've been tough having to process that.

@Tasuki I'm sorry to hear that mate. I'm also a guinea pig lover, they are amazing. It's really painful to let them go but it's for the best. I miss the ones that passed away, but they made me so happy and I'm grateful for that. Sorry that's there's nothing one can say to make things things better but at least there's always people to talk with.

@WoomyNNYes to think of it that would be so cool.

But my idea was to sit down and draw something surrealistic. In my case a crab that is creating and maintaining a desert hence the name of the painting "The sand populator"

@roy130390 @NintendoByNature @HotGoomba___Rebrand @TheFrenchiestFry

Thanks guys. Sadly though he passed away tonight. He was a fighter till the end. I spent the day with him petting him and holding him as well as fed him some of his favorite thing like spinach and apples. The way I see it he himself chose to go in his home in my arms. May he rest in piece.

@Tasuki That is sad
It is hard to let them go. But the way I see it when a pet of mine dies I always say "I gave it the BEST life possible.".

@Zuljaras ahhh, i get it

@Tasuki Jeez, sorry to hear about your guinea pig. It is really tough to lose a pet/loved one, for sure. I'm sure you gave the little guy a good life. My condolences go out to you too.
