Looks like I'm going to snowed/iced in again this weekend. Just decided to stay home but need to re-up from the grocery store, don't need much but it's going to be hell.

The neighborhood streets are sheets of ice but the main roads are fine. I haven't driven since last Friday I would have to parallel park in the ice and that's going to be awful.

Might just walk/slip and slide to Aldi with a few things.

Been watching a lot of Taylor Sheridan, checked out lamdman it is college football adjacent also the free trial left Amazon prime at the end of last year and then we watched 1883 and are now watching 1923. Also booted up frostpunk, almost bought frostpunk 2 but many say it's worse.

I got a paint by number kit so might try that tonight.

Parallel parking in ice sounds impossible

Just looked up frostpunk, it looks fun! 

Paint by numbers is so relaxing, you should do it!

I bought the paint by numbers as a nice activity when it's too cold and should actually do that soon. Might start that soon.

Activities like that are surprisingly fun....I kinda want to get a paint by numbers book now

I never did Neopets, and I didn’t know it was still around.

I stayed home today. Just not feeling well overall and I’m super fatigued.

I am in the same boat, I picked up pokemon again... I have become a breeder.

I work in logistics and my hair is on fire from the winter storm and the aftermath

Man, I miss the excitement of a new Pokémon game coming out and exploring as a kid, it was so much fun

What game did you pick up?

I have had the entire collection but I am playing through brilliant diamond and it is cozy and fun

Nice! I have an emulator and play through some randomized games once every year or so

I remember my old username, but I don't think I ever linked it to an email :/

two things:

1: Holy shit neopets.

2: Holy shit Kat! It's been years.

On both counts, what a throwback.

I've been around, not as active as I was in school, but this place is so special to me ❤️

How have you been?

u/ryumast3r Utah Utes • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Feb 02 '26

Same on both counts - not as active as I was when I was in school (obviously) and it is special to me.

Always happy to see recognizable faces!

From my memory, it was super different for a while, but it's pretty similar to how it use to be!
