I think that is the time of the site.

midnight pacific standard is the site time

[murmurlade]

the event time was following Lemon? OTL I was t-tricked..

[Lemon Cheesecake]

that can happen when you're a day ahead of everybody!

Monkeygirl you have my highest regard for putting so much passion into your gifting!!

[MonkeyGirl18]

Lol, yeah, but if I ever do something like that again, I'm creating a better system. Like, write down the most active ones, and then take the amount I'm going for and divide it.

And do certain people each day. And not all in a day because that's too much.

[murmurlade]

Sounds like a good plan
I'm gonna bury youuuu in gifts next time round ~

[Lemon Cheesecake]

my system seemed to work...post for a hundred feathers then buy 20 baskets and gift them...then post until 100 feathers, buy 20 baskets and gift them... when people gifted me or gifted me back I gifted them and then I just went through my friends list (once I knew the items would remain even if they weren't on) and gifted them all. I had one day where our power was out and couldn't do anything...slow and steady seemed to do the trick until Murmurlade started gift bombing and then it was difficult to keep up!

It will be fun to see what happens next gifting (I hope we continue the tradition)

[murmurlade]

oohh yeah I did the same thing! bought 20 at a time-- but i mostly rotated between shir, gizzie, and lemon.
whenever someone new popped up id bomb them as well.

it's way more fun to send 50 to one person in a single sitting than to disperse it to 10 different people

I hope everyone knows how to release their PM's - they may have gifts they didn't realize were there!

How is Monkeygirl? Is class term coming to an end?

[MonkeyGirl18]

It's complicated right now........

[Lemon Cheesecake]

How was the casino night? Did you win anything? At least have a good dinner?

[murmurlade]

complicated...? hope the situation improves

[MonkeyGirl18]

For the casino, I had fun, was given $100 and only spend like $30 because I was too scared of running out of money too fast and won like $8, so I walked out with $78. Had dinner at home because my parents were already down $300.

But the FAFSA is bs. My parents don't claim me as a dependant anymore, but I can't claim independent on the FAFSA because I'm under 24 years old and can't qualify for the special circumstances. "Colleges will not grant a dependency override because the parents refuse to contribute to the student’s education, because the parents refuse to file the FAFSA or complete verification, because the parents do not claim the student as a dependent on their federal income tax returns or because the student is totally self-sufficient".... fucking BS!

Why should a 22 year old still be considered dependent? A student should claim dependency on the FAFSA if their parents claim them as dependents. If they don't, they should claim independent on the FAFSA.



I won't be able to fucking go back to college because I most likely won't have the funds to afford it because of BS rules.


I'm done with everything! URGH!

[murmurlade]

what the heck? that's total crap coming out of their arse
im not familiar with the FAFSA, but why can't you get your parents to claim you as a dependant again? does that even work...

agh, RIP monkey. im sure it'll work out some way :/ or you could wait until you're 24-- its never too late yknow :v
