The value of my property was recently reevaluated for taxes this year and it jumped from 140 thousand to now 220 thousand. Honestly I think they're doing that only because a new house was built across from mine in the middle of a literal swamp for $500,000. I mean it's smaller than mine and has less yard plus the land for years wasn't used for housing since the soil is super soft and easily floods when it rains. Whatever wealthy person that buys this expensive shack in the swamp across from me is going to have an interesting experience maintaining their property to say the least. Who knows though, maybe it'll be the actual Shrek that becomes my newest neighbor, haha! https://insidethemagic.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/MixCollage-27-Mar-2024-09-29-AM-6969.jpg

I agree! FRIENDS was a great anime!

Yeah I miss Koro as well. At least Kuro still visits occasionally.

I remember only going to one speed dating event back in college. Surprisingly enough there were more women than men there. Personally I found it all to be very forced, awkward, and boring. Even though I was really really wanting a girlfriend at the time I didn't even bother asking for any phone numbers because I wasn't interested. It just seems like a format that is too forced, you know? maybe others have luck with it.

Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) "13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. your works are wonderful, I know that full well." https://youtu.be/tLHRlHkBVfw?si=trIHqYBLmU54qZOR

The anime database does seem like it could use some updating. Doesn't really seem suited to adding everything you've seen anyway, and more geared towards adding a handful of personal favorites. If what you're looking for isn't there, I'd just move on down the list and add something else.

The summer of 2003. Days that never seemed to end, the sun seemed to shine a bit brighter, me and the boys running wild in the street. I think the final lines of Stand By Me sum up everything for me. "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
