The US has a huge number of cities named after cities/regions in other parts of the world, e.g.:

• Moscow, Idaho
• Ottawa, Illinois
• Brussels, Wisconsin
• Ontario, California
• Paris, Texas
• etc!

Adding the country or state designation after one of these names is helpful for clarity.

Haha yeah it's pretty nuts. There are some great neopets write-ups on r/hobbydrama. Plus my favourite Jellyneo article of all time: https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=comments&post=14373

I had to provide the username, the birthday on the account, and the original email -- I don't recall what else. But here's the general info & you can use the "create a ticket" button at the bottom.

Ah, I see. I only see your username, not a display name; maybe because I'm using Boost?

With support's help I was able to get into my childhood account from 2001 and that's what I'm playing with now! You don't need to if you don't want to, of course, but it can be done.

Allamaraine, if you can see...

Pretty sure your username is PillowTalk420 though

In neopets [aside: yes, neopets still exists, go recover your account and feed your dang pets; end of aside] there is a random event that can happen as you play where members of the Kiko Lake team are "fundraising" to go to the Altador Cup. The way they fundraise is by stealing an item from your inventory.

This is permanent and irreversible, and has even happened to items for which players have paid actual real-life dollars (about which support's response can be summed up as "lol sorry"). Of all of the negative REs on the site, Kiko Lake is by far the worst, and so #drainkikolake has become a bit of a player rallying-cry.

I wonder if something like project management might be a good fit for you. Or perhaps some sort of social services.

In any case, I think most people work any number of different jobs before settling on a career path, and sometimes trying things out is the way we find what we'd like to do. And when thinking about a long-term direction it's less important to "love" the work than to choose sometimes that will be sustainably intellectually engaging for you and that you feel is worth doing, and worth doing well.

In May my spouse and I are going away together for a few days without the kids for the first time in a decade.

The tulip and daffodil leaves are emerging in our gardens and soon we will have flowers.

Our church is starting up again this week & I love choir.

French's ketchup is made from tomatoes grown in Leamington, ON. It was a huge deal when Heinz pulled out from their plant there & then French's bought it.
