Hmmmmmmm that's actually a VERY good question. Yes! I need to set some goals....hmmmm now what should they be?

Work out and eat healthier. Also, I MIGHT be getting a summer job (huge MIGHT). If I do, I'll want to be the best employee I possibly can be.

Yes! I agree with all that @Hades0918 . Good goals. I'll probably aim for the first two.... I recently started that anyways.

Yeah I've started none of those...

try and get more refurbished void done
also compose more music

Good goals. I forgot on of mine, which is to finish a chapter of a non-Pokemon story a week (two pages a day). I want to actually write a story I can publish.

RETOION IS GONE!!!

WHAT?!?!?!? I must see for myself....

IIt's Been 2 hours...

Hmmm....

Nononononooooooo.....

Something bad is gonna happen..... I never thought this day would come...

Be careful round here lol

Wait... @PokeMom244 ... It doesn't show that you are online right now either..... I'm confused

I have that on private.

Sorry, i think i almost panicked. The world seemed turned upside down for a moment.

The Forums gets some good updates.. Retoion leave... Coincidence?

Oooohhhhhh..... I didn't think of that. They're doing cleanup? Or was @retoion collecting data on all this the whole time and is now no longer needed? 🥺 @retoion will be missed. My OCD.... I needed @retoion there ... wahhh! 😭

Maybe, just maybe, they'll return for us!

Sniff... 🥹... You really think so? (Holding on to hope)

Sorry @Hades0918 ! I hadn't been around much yesterday due to rl and then other situations in Unite.... some drama... but it's all good now, I hope 🤞😬🤞.

You say "due to rl then other situations in Unite" By saying "other situations" does that mean, not trying to pry, that there's something wrong irl? Everything okay? Also, don't apologize! I have mastered the art of patience. (I say as I text my cousin again because it's been 3 minutes and she hasn't responded)

LOL! 🤭. (Heehee, you made me laugh @Hades0918 ). The rl stuff is just the norm stuff I have to do... Thankfully not to much drama there. The drama was actually "friend" stuff in Unite inbetween matches and actually during a few of the matches. Yeah. 😐 Dragonite almost emerged. That was not a blast... but a diff friend helped me... ummm how to say it.... balance out... and then CP jumped on so I escaped to her team. That way I had an excuse to leave and actually, playing with her and my other friend (not the problem one) helped me also go back to calm and fun mode. So, yep. Drama over.... For now. No, I decided not to unfriend the one person... hopefully they'll realize what's going on and idk, change(?) how they treat people.

But if they don't I think you should unfriended them. I don't know the two of you's history, but just assuming y'all are just friends in Unite I think of they keep it up you should look out for yourself and your mental health. If this person is toxic and puts you in a bad mood then it would be healthiest for you to let them go. But maybe your history is deeper than I think and you have reasons to hold on to them. I'm just saying it's not rude to remove them because it's always best to do what's needed to keep yourself good.

Sorry for the unasked for lecture lol...

Very valid and good points, @Hades0918 . I am seriously considering it. If I do so, it may get awkward when my other friend and I play if the problem is in lobby too. But, I'm a big girl 🙂. I can deal with it. Just gotta not let them get under my skin.

No worries, @Hades0918 ! It's all good. Plus, CP tells me the same thing 😉.

That's true... So I take it this friend only starts problems with you? If it would cause tension between you and the others that play with them, it sounds like they wouldn't see your reasoning of leaving them. Or maybe I misinterpreted that.

i never knuwn you used voice chat. it didnt work for me for some reason. probly cause im not 18 or something

CP is wise! (I NEED TO MAKE MY WISE QUOTE!!! I think I forgot yesterday...)

(I read it) Hmm…Sad thing is they do what I do... If you could see every time someone checked your profile here in the Forums, I'd appear AT LEAST seven times in three minutes. I do it out of boredom and hope you'll suddenly be online. I'm the definition of someone who needs to get a life lol. But this guy... they seem to be doing it in a weird way based on my interpretation... Anyways, I genuinely hope things get better. On a completely unrelated note both the word of the week and daily quote of wisdom has been made!

Yes yes yes

... Reminds me of someone... I won't say who (calling people out is rude imo). That's just disrespectful, though! If you're going to cause problems with someone, at least own up to it! Don't act ignorant! That would annoy me...

how do you use chat? it only lets me do quick and stickers

@Hades0918 i believe here it's different. The forums work differently and are just... different for lack of a better word. Lol. I am perfectly ok with you or anyone else looking at wall every few minutes if it floats your boat 🤭. Yeah, I get the boredom thing... I probably have done that to your wall too (🤭 oopsie!) 😁

Alright! As long as it doesn't bother you then Imma keep doing it!

😎 It's all good😎 You are not a bother, @Hades0918 (and neither are the few people who comment /post on my wall 😉)

Hooray! Offers fist bump

Returns fist bump

I'm gonna delete the whole thing now, ok? ( @fineasmatei , I'll respond on your wall about chatting)

By the way @Hades0918 , yeah, it reminds me of someone also.... Why do I always end up in these types of situations shakes head while softly chuckling

But the good thing is you persevere! (Did I spell that wrong...?) It may be annoying but you always find a way to be positive! And when you can't find the positivity, you've got positive people, like me!

True dat!!! 😉 We rock!!! 😎

Typos: they used me to get in lobby

I'm going to delete the entire thing once you see, ok? @Hades0918

Okay. That's just... wow. For an adult (I assume they are anyways) that's pretty dang immature! That urks me just hearing about it!

says that you were last active at ##:15 but this most recent comment is from ##:16 💀

@fineasmatei... That's because.... DAH-DAHDUUUUUUUUUMMMM!... I'm a time traveler!!!! Lol just kidding 😁

You got the saying right. Or that's how I remember it anyways. (I prefer "Keep your friends rich and your enemies and wait to find out which is which") Anyways, if this person starts to get on your nerves, vent to me! I'll listen and give unnecessary input!

😂🤣😂👍 Yes Sir, @Hades0918, sir! Will do! (The "unnecessary input" has me rolling)

See though, when I said "drama"... I was right, huh? Maybe @fineasmatei will forgive my absences yesterday now due to all that "drama".

i forgot to tell you i played with my brother unite yesterday but it sayed you were ofline 🥺

Yeah, @fineasmatei, 🥺, I saw after I went back in last night that I had missed you. Soon or someday we'll all play again! 🙂

i might play minecaft now. might

Cliffing it up over here!

@fineasmatei is wondering if you'll join us, D

Fifi is lost in the Nether...

Oh no....

... idk wut too say... we have to get him out somehow!!!!

I went in earlier... But he had to go. Then I had to go. Then, after a bit, I went to Unite late, but could only play a few quick rounds (thanks @Hades0918 ! I'm glad I got to play at least one with you!) and now I am here but something is missing.... I only see 4 pfps, yet @PokeMom244 keeps commenting?? @retoion is gone??? What are the forums coming to?????

D,D, u have my visibility for onlineness set to Private. That's how I'm still commenting.

(It's been like that since January)

And for retoion.... ummmm... idk

Not u, I. Typo

Ohhhhh oops

🫤 we might be on it to much then evencualy theres gona be a time limit on it cause server costs.

Uhhhhhh uh-oh? 😬😬

Funny thing is my little sister (who is the new gen) watches a lot of TV shows. We don't watch the brands you said, though.

Yep, things have changed... a lot. However, at least with streaming services & Youtb, that means we get to choose what we want to watch and not have to pay ridiculous amounts of money monthly to cable (old skool) or dish companies just to get a handful of channels we want to watch and a hundred channels we can't stand.

What age range is the new gen considered?

2-13 years old. Also, I agree D. My house uses things like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, etc.

Ok, thanks @Hades0918 . 🙂.

@Smellykiki , I personally know a few kids in that age range and they are quite aware of and occasionally watch regular TV shows (yup, CN PBS, Kids Click, Disney Jr, Nickelodeon Jr etc were just a few they have watched), and they are quite proficient with Youtb, thus the Pokemon Official channel, the various Pokemon game channels, Pokemon animes and others.

I didn't like Ash so these guys are a lot better to me

Ummmmm I'm going to be honest here.... I've watched a bunch of the original Ash and only a few with May and Torchic.... So I'm probably not qualified to give an opinion yet. Maybe someday. 🙂

I don't miss him at all. He stayed a long, long while and I'm glad we can have new characters in the main spotlight now. I've only watched the first season of Horizons, and while it probably has some flaws, it's a breath of fresh air.

Exactly UZ

sadly I have to disagree I cried a few times when I learnt that he left but I do really enjoy the new guys

I want ash baaaaack

I Watched Horizons Until The End If Season 2 I Guess

Yes Pokemom

I LIKE IT!!!! 😃 (Hee,hee, I saw it and have an idea about the snow issue.... but I didn't want to do it until we talk.. soon?). So awesome and a great way to help everyone. Great idea!!!

i should be able to play today. i was gona play monday but my siblings wanted to play the mario mash up minecraft world but in survival. (switch exclusive also come with like 40 skins that i cant play in the realm 🥺)

@PokeMom244 showed it to me! Pretty cool! I wanted to let y'all know that if you find a cave (more of a tunnel since it has an end) that has torches in it and a crafting table that's mine. I didn't have time last night to really work on it. Most of my game time was used for the tour (which I enjoyed so I'm not mad).

Awesome @Hades0918 ! Thanks @PokeMom244 for being tour guide 😁. Also, THANK YOU for the signs by the furnaces!!! I saw them right before leaving last night 😁. Made me super smile 😁! See you all soon, I hope!

Hopefully tonight!

Hades glad you enjoyed the tour!

😁😁😁

😁😁😁

D, srry, my friend wanted to try and was just wandering round and wasn't telling me u were messaging me.

And then my phone died

Rrruggghh? 🤨

NOOOOOO!!! THE VAPOREON HAS COME FOR YOU TOO! RUN AWAY! RUNAWAAYY!!! lol 🤣

( @Ember2026 I shall gracefully stomp away...but yeah I get it LOL!!! RUNAWAY! RUN AWAY!!!!) (😂)

Hmmm got any coconuts? Then we could gallop 😃 (oh great, the theme music is going through my head and I shall quote random bits of this ALLLLLL day! MWAAAAHHHHAAHAAAAAAA!)

I know Ice Beam...

Ooooooohhhh! Niccccceeee!!! Guess what?! I can learn Ice Beam too!!!!!!!😁

But that's not very effective on me! You on the other hand takes 4x damage! You're lucky I'm friends with a certain Charizard, who refuses to let me attack you.

But but but... I thought we were friends too? Afterall, I did take you to that special cool pond… and I thought you were just trying to tell me some "cool" attacks you know and have in common with me. GRRRRRR. Never did it cross my mind that You. Were. THR34T3NING. ME!!!

Innocent(?) Vaporeon smiling

Ha! I see Char put you in check.... Till we meet again, Vaporeon....

Char gives ya a thumbs up I've got your back!

Returns thumbs up And I, yours, my friend!

Ummmm.... I don't know what happened to your rare cards unless you were searching by series. If Series B is selected then all the olde expansions don't show. Hmmmm.... Oh also, if you haven't played in a while I'm not sure but I think you lose your rank over seasons missed? Good luck climbing back to the top! (PS. Are we already friends in TCGP? If not, and you have room, let's be friends! 😃)

Yep I have room because ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GONE TOO!!! Well I only had to my name is Tyranitar

Nice! Like your original pfp here! (Oh TCGP goes by id number. I'll delete it once I see it if you leave it here)

ok ill send it when i can also if it is that girl i was just spamming to get the tutorial over

Go to the Official Pokémon Website

Yes!! I almost posted that on here a few days ago. I haven't watched it yet. I think it's about 15min long?

Yeah that's the same reason I haven't watched it yet

(yep me too)

NICE!!! 😎. Thanks for the info @Smellykiki

your Welcome

⚒️🧰 Thanks for fixing that!

And now I'm gonna break it! >:) 💣💥 Mwahahahahahhahaa!

(Lol just kidding 😆)

Lol!

😂🤣😂😳😂🤣

I'm tried right now. They changed a few things.... i tried adding you as s friend first. Sigh, I'll try again.

I haven't received any notifications... Thank you for trying (I'm not saying we're quitting I'm just saying thanks)

I added you as my friend!

Yay! Now I can send the invite 😁

🤯 you copying me 🤣

🤭 meeeeeeee?

It's kind strange how many animals there are in the water....

You're welcome! LOL! Yep, the pink sheep were the doing of a certain two people, not on purpose but because they keep popping out of the pen (pink popcorn sheep, lol). The darker chickens all came from two chickens that CP imported from the spruce forest biome near the beginning.... Someone had left her door and gate open and wah lah! They dropped eggs everywhere, people threw them around, new ones spawned and then they were everywhere!!! Plus I've watched all the various animals jump/hop down the cliffside... Thus the pink fence I added after too many made it to the water. I did have the whole cliffside fenced, back when all my various trees covered that side all the way to the archery tower, but was told that that wasn't my area to use. So down came all my trees and fencing. I now claim less than half of what land I originally had and took care of 🥺. Oh well. Oops I rambled.

Lol ur good.

I was wondering about the gray chickens.

Interesting ....

Yep, that was all CP...

Wait why did she quit?

Sigh. Soo much drama it was stressful. Not as much fun anymore. I know you've read through much if not all the forum minecrft thread, and now you have access to the realm hub stories tab. Just reading through those you'll see some of the things we all have been dealing with. That's just a portion what we have shared out of the realm. .... the rest was in-game. Hopefully things will calm down again..........

Let me know when you want to check out the Castle and see Slowbro 😉

Okay...

Um...

Yeah I read them...

I get it..

I hope it'll calm down as well

Maybe if you and @Hades0918 are in game... Things will all balance out and everyone will have fun. 🙂

maybe!

Why me and hades tho?

Everyone gets along with you two... And @fineasmatei . 😁

Yes yes

I'm, like, so important to peace and prosperity and whatnot (Joking! I'm glad to hear that I make things a bit better)

LoLol

Hiyahiyahiyahiyahiyawellhiddyhothereneighbor!

😁😁😁

👋🤠

Uh oh.... Beware! You might get another "eyebrow" from a certain ditto if you stay up much later 😬

😅

🤭

YES!!!!! 😂😁😎🍕 🎶Pizza angel please come to meeeeee, Tomato sauce and cheese so gooooooooey🎶. Awesome!

😁

LoL 🤣 She still sings this at random times sometimes

@fineasmatei , I was literally singing along! Thank man! I'm smiling bigtime 😁

(oops typo: *thanks man!)

I just sang it again while making lunch 😉... It's going through my head on repeat and makes me smile each time 😁. Thanks for sharing the happiness!

lol

I'm following a few of your ... ahem. "Discussions".... you ok?

Yeah, I'm perfectly fine! I feel pretty dang good right now!

Ok.... I was worried. It seems I've been getting into too many "discussions" lately and I find myself getting hmmmm more sarcastic than positive … you should've heard me get into it last night on Unite... Oh man that was a doozy!! It got to the point I had to just leave the lobby and my hands were shaking.

I hope things get better! I haven't see any sarcasm from you here, so I think you're fine! If something is bugging you I'll listen to it!

Thank you, @Hades0918 , truely.

No problem! 😁

Have you seen my wall? @fineasmatei thinks I'm some kind of celebrity! 😎

It's 'cause YOU ROCK!!! 😎😎😎

Yes Yes! 😎

Aw, thank y'all! You rock too! 😎 (Also, I forgot to say "cousin" in that sentence. I know you know now, D, but it's not @fineasmatei talking)

Yes yes yes 😵‍💫

😎😎😎 Thanks! (Yep, a doodle noodle!! 😁. Hmmmm, I wonder what will happen over there when @fineasmatei finds out? )

None right now, but that's a good choice! I like that, bday cake, orange sherbet, and neapolitan!

Mmmm…
Bday is good too.
(Okay ive eaten half the pint. I need to stop.)

(Yeah... That's more than a healthy amount!

Mmmmmm..... I used to have a few different favorites like moose tracks or triple chocolate or that candy cane peppermint one only available in the winter... but lately, I'd really just like a mint chocolate chip, chocolate, vanilla, or that cashew milk caramel chocolate mmmmm

Would you laugh if I said the only ice cream I've eaten in the past two years was homemade organic vanilla or chocolate ice cream? Really easy to make too. 😋😋😋

Raspberry gelato

Mmmmm good choice, @clasingla! I've had that and it is definitely delicious!😋

@Dragonfly102024
AHEM. Homemade?!
Can I plssssssss have the recipe???

yes yes i would like it to!

Easy peasy.... It also gives you a work out 😉.

• One gallon ziplock bag
• One quart ziplock bag
• 3 cups Ice (not to be consumed)
• 1/2 cup Half & half
• 1 TBSP Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (or other flavoring)
• Rock Salt (they say 1/3 cup)

First off I usually double the milk/half&half, vanilla &sugar to make more. You can experiment with other flavors too. It's fun!

1. Fill the smaller bag with the milk/half&half, sugar, and vanilla. Squeeze out as much air as possible & seal it well. Squish the bag full of ingredients until all are combined. Set aside.
2. Fill the bigger bag with crushed ice (or regular if you don't have crushed ice) until about half full. Add the rock salt (or regular salt if you don't have it). THEN add/place the smaller bag inside the larger one. Seal the big bag, again squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing it.
3. Exercise time!!! Shake or toss the bag for 10-15 minutes or until the ice cream has thickened.
4. Once ice cream has thickened open the larger bag to remove the smaller bag of ice cream. Wah lah! Ice cream!

A couple suggestions... Wrap the big bag in a towel before you start shaking it or your fingers get cold. I've also used the same recipe but instead of bags, I'd throw the mixture in a small blender thingy (it has a lid) then put it in the freezer, checking on it every thirty minutes and reblending it... Or just leave it be and shake it every hour or so. Mmmmmm now I'd like to make some!

We finally got a recipe, guys!

We finally got a recipe, guys!

😁 ENJOY!😁

YUMMY.

I will def make this!!!!

Lol, yeah, @Ember2026 should know... 😉

That's exactly why I said: YUMMY.

(and @PokeMom244 if you do the shake thing, then I feel justified in eating it BECAUSE of all the calories you burn. Or you could play hot potato with the bundle.... I recommend triple bagging it in that case.)

Oh I didn't see that @Hades0918 ! Orange sherbet is delicious!!!! I like when you get a scoop of that and a scoop of vanilla…mmmmmm

We call that dreamcicle! Delicious!

Mmmmmm yes! Definitely dreamcicle!

Il try it! also is table salt rock salt?

Honestly @fineasmatei , I've only ever used sea salt or table salt because I don't have rock salt, whatever that is, lol. Ummm i think the salt just helps the ice stay colder? Idk if that makes sense?

thanks!

Oops, my bad, I DO know what rock salt is.... And YES!! Himalayan Rock Salt (the pink stuff) is my absolute favorite type of salt because of the flavor (I like salt ,😋). But I've never used it for ice cream making.

I have to pink one! should i try it with the table one or the pink one?

Ummmmmm pink one is more expensive. Ask your Mom first. You don't actually eat the salt. It's for the ice bag.

@Dragonfly102024 now you should put up the recipe for homemade sparkling water/soda! 😁

il try it again with my brother this time!

Yay! You might need more ice🤔 or maybe put it in the freezer after you two have been shaking the bags for fifteen minutes. Good luck!
