Hi! :)  Good Sunday over here. It warmed up to about 15 C and was sunny. Most of the snow is now melted.   Went bicycle riding, and bought some fish for a 50 gal (180 Liter or so) aquarium I’ve been setting up. Of course it’s supposed to get cold again in a few days.   :(

Lattes – I’m somehow “morally” opposed to the Keurig-type machines that you just put in a pre-sealed package and it does the rest. I have an inexpensive espresso maker that works fine. I grind my own beans, but I’m lazy and microwave the milk rather than steam it (works great btw once you figure out the timing to cook it without boiling it over). And, hey, I’ll accept whichever iPad you wanna send …   :)

Of course I evolve the beautiful ones, I’m shallow that way … course I need to work on a few more badass champion types, as well. I really like your Black Knight, except he scares me. Did I tell you it amused me to take out Knight in the tourney with my Clown dragon? I somehow found it quite funny. Tell it to Athletic, maybe it will cheer him up.

In relationships I think it’s important that both people keep their own identities and interests. Together is nice, of course, but it’s not healthy if the individuals are lost.

Violent TV shows and such are accepted in the US as well. God help you if you show a naked person, but a throat slasher is just fine. Funny confused culture IMO. I agree about desensitization, and I think if you look at any of the psychology literature on soldiers at war it is quite clear.

Yeah repressed memories and hypnosis are a funny thing. It’s a tricky area, a few years ago a some child therapists used the technique and then accused a bunch of people of molesting those children. It then became apparent that some, and maybe all the memories were planted, presumably inadvertently, by the researchers. I saw another study where they took a random sample of people and then used the technique to “recover” memories of them being abducted by aliens and such, even though the subjects uniformly thought alien abduction was crazy.

Your description of the river and painted storks reminds me of a National Geographic magazine story I saw a few years back. Tried, but couldn’t locate it.

Breeding didn’t do much today, just Love and Laserlight fails. How do you use tropic to avoid Magic fails? Doesn’t Tropic/RH still give Magic, or am I missing something? My land expansions also take three days. I’ve tried sending out fewer Mystic map requests, but only to people I think are active. However, so far it seems I get fewer maps than when I blindly sent it to everyone.

Hope you have a good day, even though it’ll be Monday. G’night xoxo

P.S. Mine too, we might have to impose a 200 word limit, lol.
