    A few days late, but welcome to the forums! It's very nice to meet you!
    I'm also learning some CSS stuff and coding stuff. I don't know too much myself, but slowly starting to!

    Hello everyone, I'm Amanda! Just a newb to the TDN forums but wanted to introduce myself. So here I am 🙂 I feel like joining will help me with with answering simple questions that I have towards css and being able to obtain new avatars. I'm currently working as a traveling nurse around my hometown area and absolutely love being able to help people. On the neopets front, I've currently been working extremely hard towards my goals with my gallery. Not going to lie, editing and css has been quite tricky, but I have been able to figure out so much since dabbling in the world of css.

    I have to make a reminder for myself to start washing again, like everyone else -- I fell off doing it as well.
    Good luck to all n good luck to me, hehe.

    I was struggling with managing to make wishes for quite a while there, but talking about the well on the Shenkuu board got me somewhat sporadically wishing again, like maybe five times in the last week, and whadaya know, I won again today!
    Get your wishes in, people!

    The amount of times I rage over this exact scenario! Poor air faeries, no-one likes 'em. xD Though now I am actually training my BD pet's agility. For absolutely no reason other than why not.
    I get to the secret ninja training school and decide to start spending my hoarded red codestones on training a completely worthless ability, go figure. xDDD

    I just love hearing happy lil things like that -- even more so during times like these! (What's going on in the world/my life to specify a bit more -- everyone has their issues, and I felt I needed to clarify cause my brain ticked into not wanting anyone to feel left out/invalidated)! ^.^ 
    I also just love hearing positive relationships with teachers, there's so many people who don't with their teachers -- and parents don't always go out of their way to become acquainted even with their child's teachers, mostly only during parent-teacher conferences. I had a great relationship with a few of mine, and still even keep in contact with a few! They've been mentors for me, considering the life I led isn't the best, nor were the things I've been through, and currently going through. My parents (mostly my father, since my mom worked a lot for us, my father became disabled at a rather early working age) took great interest in wanting to know my teachers, and even doing the gifts like your family does! I know it can be hard to connect with teachers (both for parent or student), some teachers aren't the best, and the other half of the time is the teachers great, but trying to form a comfortable/appropriate bond can be tricky -- mostly just cause of social norms now, even if even is appropriate in said bond, they still look at it as wrong. (I'm not sure if I worded that correctly, but I hope it's clear enough -- sorry)!
    My boys are totally the same, and most I know are fine with them being a lil jumpy to greet/get attention -- but it's so hard to let them know that at the moment for everyone's health and safety -- we can't do that. (They're still learning, and boy trying to hold 3 big boys back is hard, we usually leave them in a cool (lots of fans and we got one AC unit just for that room for this reason) back room, they have plenty of water, treats, and toys too -- even though they rarely have accidents, sometimes they get so excited they do try to "mark" things to let their visitors know it's their stuff, but they'd love to share, we have some pads down for them. We check on them constantly while guests are visiting (social distancing, and confirmed "NO" for having the virus, being asymptomatic, or being in contact with someone who has it/someone they were close to had/had it) to make sure the room is still a good temperature, and they still have everything they need). We rarely have visitors anyway just because -- but some of our friends have mental illsues like me, and need some air and a person to see/talk to to keep sane -- so as long as social distancing and physical distancing/confirmed for not being a risk to others with COVID, I don't fully see a problem with it. They're also only a few minutes away, and will travel by car to make the trip a bit more safe/less exposure to anything.
     
    I got to be a sub teacher, and a helper in younger classes myself! It was in between times with my Mythology and Forensic Science studies. Sometimes things got overwhelming, and I put my name in as a contact if they needed someone. I was able to fit it in between my classes/school work, and was also granted a few extensions if I happened to be in helping for a longer than expected time. (Hey, things happen)! I was also just a home "teacher", I use that term a bit lightly because it was more so helping school all the younger ones in my family while babysitting! I don't think I'd ever be able to become a full teacher, just for the reasons you mentioned -- but being an assistant teacher is still very good! Depending on the route I decide to fully take -- if I get really good in my Mythology stuff, I could become a teacher easier for that subject -- right now it's mostly a big interest/for fun class/a just in case my Forensic Science dreams don't work out like I want. (Nothing negative btw, I just like having an alternative route, cause the future is never set)!
    I hope so too, and maybe just a bit because this reply was lengthier than my usual lately! (I know I'm not fully recovered in any way, so I know not to beat myself up if I revert back to short replies).

    I'm glad that made you smile! 😃
    This is the first teacher at this school that I actually adore. We even got her a little clipboard message thingy for her classroom for Valentine's Day. I got an email this morning from her teacher and she was so happy to see all the smiles from her kiddos that she's missing. She was tempted to just leave the present on everyone's door, but she needed to see their faces and see their smiles so she opted for the outdoor visit while maintaining social and physical distancing. Kai was not too thrilled to be on the leash. He kept yanking my husband to my daughter's teacher and hurting his hand so I took over Kai. I let my guard down and he pulled with all his might and I fell to the ground. All Kai wanted was pets and attention but we couldn't allow him to receive those out of safety for my daughter's teacher. So we ended up dragging Kai into the house.
    My experiences lately as being a homeschool teacher and being in the classroom on parent helper days, makes me want to be a teacher. I know that's something I can't do because of the cost for it and the amount of time it takes. So I'll probably settle for just being a teaching assistant.
    I hope your "normal" is right around the corner!

    Aww, reading that made me smile! I'm really happy your daughter had such a great surprise! My boyfriend usually takes over too, sometimes I'll be able to just chat freely, but it just really depends.
    I also really love the lil gifts you had ready for her teacher -- if I was a teacher myself, I would of totally been happy to receive those!

    I hope I'm not crashing the Mouseykins/Ennoshima party here - I am just desperate for a thread that hasn't been abandoned since 2019. 

    I started out doing a boatload of jigsaw puzzles when quarantine began, but I'm finding that I don't really have the space or the long-term concentration it takes to really sit down and do a puzzle properly. My attention is so scattered and divided that smaller tasks - reading online, playing Neo, goofing around and organizing and purging my closet, etc. are all much easier and lower-brainpower activities. I feel like I just cannot get my brain to work at 100% capacity anymore!! I used to love cooking, grocery shopping, etc. - now they're just "have to"s that take too much time without enough creative freedom. I feel for the kiddos staying up way too late just to get some peace/quiet/privacy, because that has definitely been me as well. 11:00 PM - 3:00 am is my Me Time, but I do tend to regret it a bit when morning comes all too quickly after my head hits the pillow.

    That got way too negative and whiny! Ah!! Back to something fun: I've started a new goal of getting 3,000 unique items in my SDB - only 863 left to go. Whew. Emptying out my real closet and filling up my fake one. What a glamorous life I live. Thanks for letting me share ♥

    I totally understand that feeling -- and it can last awhile. Everyone heals differently. 💗
    We have most of ours buried on our property because they LOVED the outdoors as well. Most of our pets were buried in all honesty, just felt it was something they would of wanted so they could spend even more time outdoors in their own ways now. I'm really glad to hear about the services you got for cremating, it can be a lil scary since you never know what you're getting back -- but I'm really glad they had an ID and everything to ensure you were getting Mouse back! I've had a few crystals wire wrapped which look like my babies who passed on -- the crystals mock their fur and the wire wrapping is done in a way to show if they're cat or dog! It costed a bit, but was worth it in all aspects. 
    I think I own maybe one pair of jeans, and even those get rarely worn. I'm always in PJs, sweats, or leggings too! I know I mentioned that earlier, but it's just funny how rarely I even wear my only pair of jeans -- it's just a hassle because my weight fluctuates at times too, and just how my body/height is, so I never buy them unless they seem I can actually get use out of them without having to worry about them ill-fitting me whenever my body decides to do a random change. 😬 Womens sizing is annoying either way, and I hate shopping because of it lol
    There was a time I almost did, but thankfully not! Only one got out that day, but he was a runner for whatever reason that day! (I think it was the smoke alarm that decided to malfunction a day before our routine checks, and our boys HATE the sound). I always feel so bad when I accidentally close a gate, door, or anything on my pups -- they're usually good at waiting, but some days they just get so pushy and rushy lol, I can understand that too. 
    We have to do our yard this coming Wednesday or Thursday -- it's been so hot, so we've been a lil lazy again, and ugh, don't get me started on weeds!! The recycling wasn't too planned, but we had to go out and were heading in that direction anyway -- so we just decided to clean whatever was out of the room (recycle wise) and just get that bit over with. Cleaning would be easier if I just had more energy, and not ailments slowing me down in general.

    I have trouble myself, so many times. I think mines just my brain is always too overactive and jumbled up. (Woo anxiety+other conditions)! I get my days where I can do it, but most of the time -- nope.

    All the yes for this! People who are entirely uninvolved but aren't complete strangers can be sympathetic/empathetic without things becoming complicated. No baggage involved!
    I recommend this bread! I'm gonna keep making it that's for sure!
    I also recommend following that guy if you're on Instagram. I'd go so far as recommending signing up just to follow him, lol. Watching him doing things like tending to his baby goats, foraging for wild garlic, hatching baby chicks and cooking amazing stuff in the kitchen... really good for the soul right now!

    Today is also a lil hard for me, this month & date is a constant reminder of something in the past now -- but a hard decision I needed to make for me and the other party that was involved. Here's to hoping I can make it through the day in one piece, and one day this won't affect me as badly. 🤞
    My in-laws did stop by and drop off a shower chair for me -- we were having a hard time to find one that isn't too bulky and such for our shower, and since I have a few problems, it's hard for me to shower normally. It fits, and is perfect size for me! (I'm also like 4'10", but my legs are long and my torso is short, it's such a weird combo)!
    I was able to set up my appointment for 1st of May (which is also my birthday), but I did it! All that's left is the video conference on that day. 
    It happens so much to us too, pups or just clumsiness, but it really just was the icing for me yesterday.

    @jellysundae
    I'm really thankful for you all -- sometimes talking to others that aren't in my everyday life in person is easier. (There's no problems here IRL, but different opinions and such is never a bad thing). 
    That bread looks amazing, and I'm totally saving the recipe!! 
    Your variation also sounds absolutely amazing, might have to try it both ways. 😆
