@SirChicken - that looks good

I want to get drunk so bad and get some Krysos, but I have the 25th December gifting to do. But but but KRYSOS !!

Who knew apartment searching was so difficult. All we want is a place to live.


And damn, I really picked a good roommate. I met this friend over the summer and we basically were roommates (lived next door to each other in government housing) and now we're going to get a place together. We were discussing decorating and we are both into the exact same nonsense. For example this will be my housewarming gift to us: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0829 ... 0DER&psc=1

Hmm... I don't know about 'successful.' But I've maintained one for some time now. It's difficult to predict what's popular beyond a creature's release date, but I've found that parentless creatures yield more attention and hatchlings sell infinitely better than adults. I don't know that lineages are super popular, but there's defo a subset of magistreamers that get excited to induct new lineages into their collections.

I've always been of the mind that price gouging is shady, but even when I price creatures low, I still see other shops getting more sales from the same creatures being priced high. Haven't figured out the secret to that one yet, lol. Keeping a healthy stock is always a good idea. Don't get too severe about buying rules, it turns people off. And try to not feel overwhelmed. Shops are fun c:



Speaking of shops... I'm trying to use the egg limit to my advantage while I've got it by breeding things for my shop. I severely depleted its stock by using it for people's specific holiday wishlists, but I'm having a stupidy difficult time getting creatures to breed. My Keep has collectively sworn off baby-making for 2020, lmao!

Just found 1 of the few stream creatures I needed off my WL! Plus have now bought at least 1 of each of the shop creatures I have access to that was on my WL. Now comes time to stalk the stream and attempt to breed some hybrids I need. Slowly narrowing my list!

My random brain decided to be like
'it would be cool if one year instead of releasing a new Arkai they re-released every single one until now, like all at once''
Ensue chaos

Now to go get drunk for more ornamental beetles

@Salt
Happy Birthday!

stressed because my brother is coming to visit (during a pandemic!) for a week starting Wednesday and not only will I have to clean the bathroom and deal with both covid fears and a bored brother stuck in the house, I'll have to spend a week pretending to be cis because he doesn't think nonbinary identities are real and he can make my life a misery. uugggghhhh.

Anyone have advice for getting rid of thrips? I have them on my houseplants.

Neem oil or insecticidal soaps, because I assume you'd rather not introduce ladybugs to houseplants

I do actually have a ladybug running around my house that I’ve put on them, funny enough. I’ll try the soaps though.

Job searching sucks. I hope I hear back from the company I interviewed with last week. It would honestly be an awesome opportunity for me. If not, I really don't know what I'll do.

And of course, my dad finally decides to mention he has a friend who just got into the pot industry and is looking for help with hydroponics. Thanks dad, but I'm trying to move to another part of the country. This information would have been helpful two months ago.
