I use notepad on my computer to put reminders for both myself and my chars. Last night I left a reminder of "soldering iron". This morning I look at it and couldn't figure out which char that was referring to nor what they might need it for.... Didn't occur to me until at least 15 min later that it was a note for ME to go buy one for a project of my own. *facepalm*

Actually, now that I think on it... I'm pretty sure I already have one. Somewhere...

Check all the locked rooms in all the buildings in your town and I'm sure you'll find your soldering iron, if not you will have to go dig up some cobalt.

lol I almost added that I'd have to annoy others by running in and out of rooms to look for it.

You're my hero! My kids think I'm weird for keeping 7-10 open in one browser, and an equal amount open in a different browser.

This.


I currently have seven tabs open, three of them are directly related to Cantr (Cantr, forum, IRC). I have been known to have up to three forum tabs, a Cantr tab, a wiki tab, and two different IRC tabs at once (totalling seven Cantr-related tabs), plus whatever else it is I have open at the time (virtual school (1-2), YouTube, Grooveshark, DeviantArt, Google Images search, band website, pdf from said band website, and adding to that recently are FanFiction.Net and Dragon Cave). I usually like to split up tabs between windows depending on what I'm actively working on and thinking about at the moment.

...you go to the gift shop to get some junk food, and the only things that attract your eye are in green packaging. No lie, this is what I just bought 10 minutes ago (not to scale): Image

Looks like a healthy lunch. :lol:

Great! More reason to go have sushi!
Rainbow rolls (generally) = delicious
fish roe (some places sell multiple colors (and flavors))
tuna & escolar (white tuna)
seaweed
This one place I went to today had white seaweed (which was really chartreuse, not white, but whatever). It was cool.

Can you tell me what it means?
