Psst, tip for your brother, if you guys have a scale that weighs grams, the foiled cards weigh more.

So if your at like, the Dollar Tree and you can hold every individual pack, you can weigh them all and buy the heaviest ones. I've gotten atleast one foil everytime. (to be fair out of like, 40-50 packs only 5 usually weigh enough to have really good cards, and when the Dollar Tree has them, they go fast. So I don't *really* feel that bad about weighing cards. I mean, its not like I paid any less for them.)

The first anime I ever watched was Owari no Seraph

oooh nice! I might have to try that challange, got a ton of pokemon cards hanging around.

Ah ^w^ maybe it was just the breed he was....
Maybe... cuz they're not indoors... but I dunno how allergies work >w<

Ooh @w@ I can eat, like, breakfast, dinner, and a few snacks in-between, but I have a very slow metabolism ;-;

I'm not a fan of potatoes in general, I'm just addicted to making horrible mistakes apparently :T

Hecc yeah! I'm not crazy :D

I don't either but I could do a quick research project on it. I do that quite often. My dad likes to listen to political news channels and asks me questions that I end up doing research on. Last "project" was something about how viruses mutate so quickly.


I only start to notice my stomach getting chubbier^? towards like 1 or 2 and that's after a breakfast and lunch.
I wake up at around 6, eat when I feel hungry (usually like some eggs, fruit, or a protein bar), then eat some fruit and rice if we have it towards 11:30. After that I'll have what I call a late lunch at 2 which is usually something more calorie dense and filling; at 6 I eat dinner and have a small snack (a spoonful of peanut butter) and then I might eat some more after that but I usually stop eating then.
So basically I don't eat very heavy or filling foods until the end of the day and then I burn the calories while sleeping.

oof; can relate. Though not all mistakes are horrible it's just me being a bit thoughtless and impulsive.
Like peanut butter on cucumbers; wasn't the worst but definitely would not be a first choice of food

0-o I just search on wikipedia if I have a question... XD So why do viruses mutate so quickly?

Oh... I never really thought about it... I'm always a bit pudgy-ish, and not usually too hungry, but dinner is the only 'real' meal I have... I gotta go #2 at least twice a day or i can't eat and my stomach hurts and i feel sick ;-; i have a light breakfast, a light lunch, maybe a snack depending on how much I exert myself physically, and then a good dinner. Still a bit round in my stomach area... always :T But it doesn't bother me like it used to... if I want it to go away, I could probably just get myself back in shape X3

XD I mean, sometimes ya just gotta try things. Like when they made blue cheese. Someone had to take that old cheese with the blue mold, stick it in their mouth, and say 'that's not half bad... let's put it on something'. Curiosity is how we discover u-u

alrighty so I'll just use influenza as an example. I'm pretty sure, not 100% certain though, that there are two ways that influenza can mutate; antigenic drift and antigenic shift. In antigenic drift they "can evolve in a gradual way through mutations in the genes that relate to the viral surface proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase" (HA and NA). This basically makes the exterior of the virus to appear different so when it enters a host that previously had an ancestor strain the antibodies that were produced by the ancestor strain can't effectively fight the newer strain because they don't recognize it; "the virus drifts away from its ancestor strain." hence the name antigenic drift.
Antigenic shift is when two or more types of influenza A combine to form a virus that's super different from past strains. This results in a new HA and NA sub-type and may result in a new pandemic because our bodies don't have the antibodies required to fight off infection. The first way, out of two, that it can occur is through genetic recombination when two types of influenza A infect the same host cells and combine their genetic material. "For example, a pig flu virus and a human flu virus could combine in a bird, resulting in a radically different flu type. If the virus infects humans and is efficiently transmitted among them, a pandemic may occur."
The second way is if an influenza A virus jumps from one type of organism to another without any major genetic change. The virus might be able to genetically mutate to be easily spread to others and possibly start a pandemic.
Yeah, that's just a basic run down of it all and I skimmed through pretty quickly so it might not all be correct but that's what citing your sources is for. Quite interesting stuff actually because scientists have to do a lot of predicting and guessing to make an effective vaccine.

I mean I'm not just set to that schedule; if I'm hungry I eat. Maybe you have acid reflux? I used to have it a while ago but it went away when I started taking probiotics. My stomach used to hurt when I ate and I would get super bloated from eating. I also drink 8+ glasses of water a day because hydration is important and it helps you not be as bloated. But yeah, if you're happy with where you're at right now don't change anything because the only reason you should change anything is for your own health ^-^

Exactly, if people weren't curious we wouldn't have so many wonderful things. Or chocolate, pasta, peanut butter, ice cream, and anything else I can't think of.

Speaking of ice cream my mom said Saturday is supposed to be nice and that we can go for a walk at one of the places we haven't been to in a long time and there's a Dairy Queen by it. That means I can get a blizzard which I've been craving for foreverrrr

Huh...
I think I heard something about corona having originally been a dog virus... maybe that's how it spread to humans ',:/

Hmm... I never thought of that... maybe an acid reflux, then ;-; I'll look into it :3
Oh... I don't know what it is, and people think I'm crazy, but I hate the taste of water :T It's bitter. And it's not like, cuz it's well water, or it's bottled, I've tried a lot of water and all of it tastes bitter to me XD So I kind of avoid it. I should probably drink more water....
I mean, I'm not terrible. I have a discernible waist and all, it's just, like, five-ish pounds over where I should be. But still, technically overweight X3

Cheesecake, and butter, and sushi and syrup....

Oooh, blizzards are s o g o o d @w@ I haven't had one in a while, but I'm pretty sure our Dairy Queen is shut down right now, so whatever :T What kinds do you like? I usually get whatever monthly one they have out (unless there's cakey stuff in it x-x then I get caramel or something)

Oh I thought it was originally from a bat and it spread to pangolins and then some black market stuff happened. I'm not sure thought so I could be wrong.


That is weird. Maybe try putting fruits into it? For my age group I'm towards the heavier end but all bodies are different so.
I literally just had the best pb&j ever. I took the crust off two pieces of bread, put peanut butter on both sides and then a huge glob of jelly. Then I like pinched the sides together? Kind of like an uncrustable and it was like heaven.


I usually get anything with twix or chocolate in it. I haven't been in a while but last time I think I got a rolo one. This time I might see if they have a reeses peanut buttter cup one because I've really been in the peanut butter mood.

I could be wrong, too... i don't even remember where I heard that 0-o

Oooh :D I usually have pb&h, but i have a bunch of uncrastables in the freezer for some reason :T I feel like making them yourself would taste a lot better....

Nice :3 solid choice

Just gonna leave this here
