My parents can be so infuriating at times. My mom wanted to go the hospital to pay a bill. My dad put the address in his phone, but didn't listen/follow the directions when it told him to stay on a certain street. He was also complaining that "the phone's not talking to me" but it was because he had his phone's volume all the way down. We get to the hospital and of course, we're not at the right part. I went in with my mom while she asked where to go and the lady working at the desk said she'd show us how to get there. The part we needed to be at was down a long hallway and down to elevator to the basement. After my mom took care of everything, I said we should probably go back to where we started so my dad could find us. Instead, she followed a bunch of people outside and called my dad trying to tell him where we were. He passed us in the car and then my mom decided to try to chase down the car, not paying attention in the parking lot for cars or really looking where she was going. We stayed outside for a few minutes waiting for my dad (he'd driven to the wrong side of the building based on my mom's directions and where he thought we were. We got back in the car and my dad's frustrated. Then his phone rings and he jumps. He can't have it both ways; be annoyed that his phone isn't "talking" and then be annoyed because it's ringing. Also, I almost had a panic/anxiety attack in the elevator because I'm always afraid of getting stuck in one between floors. I found out yesterday that a friend's puppy nipped/bit my mom on Friday. It was an accident and the friend felt really bad, but I was a little annoyed that my mom didn't tell me. I had noticed the marks on her arm, but didn't realize they were bite marks. I still miss my dog. Some of my favorite shows were about animals and now I can't bring myself to watch them. Ponyfan

I still need to check out that Joy Con and see if the same thing keeps happening. I haven't had any problems with the new set acting up yet.
Anyone picking up Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door for Switch? I missed the original but enjoyed Paper Mario Color Splash on Wii U a lot.

Daiya/Diamond no Ace is getting another season! It's been confirmed that production has started on Act 2 Season 2. I'm assuming it will be at least a year before we see any new episodes, but I'm so happy that the anime will finish and not be left where it was. Now if we could get an update like that on Yona. When I was telling my mom about the anime continuing, she asked me how long it took to play the baseball game (the final game in the series) It amused me that she remembered me telling her that the last baseball game took a very long time to finish in the manga. Also, Cartoon Network is going to start airing the Viz dub of Sailor Moon during their Toonami block in the US starting May 31st. I already have all of the Viz dub of SM on DVD, but it might be a way for those that are interested and haven't seen the Viz dub yet to give it a chance. Ponyfan

I'm glad people enjoy the frequent photos. I worry sometimes that they're boring to others because they don't seem to change that much from each pic. My mom and I repotted plants today. Here's pics of the ones we repotted. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginPoinsettia visitors can't see pics , please register or loginLemon Thyme visitors can't see pics , please register or loginDill visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAloe and baby aloes visitors can't see pics , please register or loginFicus with more green leaves and green things. The strawberry plant is making a lot of strawberries. I don't want to repot it while it's producing. Ponyfan

As I suspected, by the time my mom got ready to repot plants, she decided it was too late to do it. I shouldn't be so disappointed about it, but she kept saying "After this, we'll repot plants" all day long. I also made sure I wasn't involved in anything too deeply so when she got ready we could repot the plants together. Ponyfan

Thanks everyone. I still miss her a lot. I tried to talking to my mom about something and she told me that I if I wanted to talk about that she wanted to go home (we were in the car) When I told her that was mean and not nice she told me it wasn't because she didn't want me to get upset right then. I asked her if she thought telling me that she wanted to go home wouldn't upset me just as much. I wanted to repot plants today, but my mom keeps putting it off. It's probably going to be too hot to do it today after she gets everything done she wants to do. I found a dead baby bird on the patio. I'm not sure if it fell out of the nest during the storms we had or if one of th neighborhood cats got it. Ponyfan

So much I want to say... warning in advance that this is going to be long. I guess it's best to start with the most recently stuff and work backwards. I had to go to the dentist today. I always dread going even though it's just a cleaning. The hygienist that has been doing my cleanings for years no longer works there. The person I saw today was nice enough, but she seemed a little less friendly than my regular hygienist. She kept telling me to relax my facial features while she worked. She also told me that I couldn't talk while she was taking my blood pressure because it would make it go up. I had a really rough day at work on Friday. I had to take another assignment than what I had signed up for, because there weren't enough people to cover everything. I tried very hard, but it was obvious that I wasn't the person they wanted in that position as the other people made it quite clear that the person that was out on Friday was going to take the assignment back on Monday. There were also treats that were supposed to be refrigerated, but were left out all week. When I asked about the treats I was told "Oh, we'll just deal with them on Monday." For some reason I decided to take a closer look at the treats and discovered TW: for bugs Spoiler some of the treats were moldy and had bugs crawling on them
It really made me feel like I was second best. My dad keeps saying he wants to organize our movies. I've tried telling him several times that they are mostly loosely organized in broad categories, but that's not good enough for him. He wants a catalog or something I guess. We can never agree because he won't listen to when I try to tell him about the categories. We don't need to start from scratch when a lot of the work is already done if he'd just accept it. I was trying to sort out extra copies that we didn't need anymore at one point and then when I wasn't at home, my dad decided to "organize" all of those and put them back on the shelf even though I had already sorted them. To be honest, I lost my motivation to try again after that point. He also took out several VHS tapes "because we don't have a way to play them" including at least one that we haven't been able to get a copy of on Blu Ray/DVD. If I can find the box he put them in they're probably ruined by now. Sometimes I wish my mom would stand up to my dad and not just let him do whatever he wants. Loss of a pet coming up in the spoiler. It's nothing too graphic but I wanted to give people the option of skipping over it if they don't want to read. Spoiler My elderly dog died in April. I still miss her. She started rattling and I knew she was dying. By the time she started getting really bad, the vets were closing and my parents would have had to pay an emergency vet extra to stop her suffering. We decided to see if she would die on her own during the night or make it to the next morning. She kept crying/yipping every few minutes except for the one time she fell asleep. She was usually very quiet, so for her to be that vocal made me wonder if she was in pain or hurting. She survived the night and my parents took her to be put to sleep the next morning.
I logged on to Spotify yesterday and it kept playing 5 or 6 ads in a row and then refused to play the first 3 or 4 songs I selected. Just when I was about to give up on it, it started working. It seemed like it wanted me to listen to the songs Spotify picked for me instead of what I wanted. Sorry about the baby shrimp, BC. I got rejected from a Facebook group because I didn't have enough of the right brand of diamond paintings. It was a selling/destash group, but nothing was posted about that in the description until after my request was denied. Ponyfan

Congrats lovesbabysquirmy. @Taffeta, I'm not quoting you since you posted the spoiler (If you quote a post with the spoiler, it will show the text.) I'm also not sure I want to know what's in the spoiler yet. What you say about Yona has me a little worried though. I think 42 will come out in the US in August or September. I picked up A Sign of Affection 8, Fly Me to the Moon 23 and The Apothecary Diaries 1-3 today. Here's a couple of pics of my manga shelves. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginSorry the pics are dark.

The tiny thing on the Ficus is a little leaf. I hope that means more leaves will appear soon. I've been a little worried about the Ficus since it was so long before it was showing signs of life. I have strawberry blossoms and at least 1 strawberry too. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe dill is showing new growth too.

I found a bunch of character shorts at Walmart including Barbie, Stich and other Disney characters, but no MLP ones. Was I looking in the right section?

I haven't checked up on the new Yona chapter yet. It's been a stressful month, and I think I need to be more Zen (zeno?) before I read it, given that each month ups the drama.
I feel the same way and I think that's the main reason I now have 4 books to read to catch up on the English version of Yona. I want to be relaxed when I read it and haven't felt that way in a long time. I've added the Apothecary Diaries to my wish list. Ponyfan

I picked up Yona 41 today along with a few other books. Now I have 4 volumes of Yona to catch up on. I looked at The Apothecary Diaries but wasn't sure if it would be interesting to me. I wanted to get the Horimiya 13 and 14 since I still need those, but the bookstore still had the same copies they had last time. I also rearranged the manga on the bookshelf a little bit so it would be easier to get to the Yonas I need to read. Hopefully I can catch up soon. Ponyfan
