Score: 22,000 Playing on a Sega Master System II

Yes, if you press the pause button on the master system console you can see your screen and map with score

My score so far, hopefully I'll have a better score tonight. The picture is blurry since I had to take it quick, and it didn't focus! Score: 1200

@RickR That's a good suggestion! I never got into audio books, but it is something I should check out. As I'm getting ready for the day, cleaning up the house, etc I will often put on a video on Youtube and listen to that. Usually it will be a video from one of two channels I frequently watch (or listen to) that are about missing people, and unsolved missing persons cases. I find missing persons cases interesting, especially those that go unsolved. It is scary what goes on in the world. Or, more uplifting, I will listen to a video about the origins of something, like recently I listened to one about Disney's River Country.

@TrekMD I recently had a virtual doctors appointment about 2 weeks ago. The hospital my doctor is at was not even scheduling any in person appointments, unless absolutely necessary, due to rising cases. Our beaches here opened, then closed, and now they're open again with super restrictive hours. We had a ton of people coming over from the east coast to our beaches and they were getting too crowded. The community I live in has a lot of families and young people, and since this began there has been, as usual, a lot of parties. I wouldn't say I feel "scared" being around so many people without a mask, but I just wouldn't want to risk it. I went to Target the other day, which was very crowded, and I was one of the only people wearing a mask.

That's great! During work hours I kind of have to be glued to my computer. During down times though I will try to get things done, like wash clothes or clean. I will! I have also had an urge to pick up old hobbies. I used to love reading and lately I just don't have the time. That's something I would like to be able to get back into.

I have been well. I can’t believe it is July. Time feels a bit weird since this all started, in early-mid March. I believe it was March 16 when my job had me (and nearly every employee) work from home. I really enjoyed that, and having such more time at home allowed me to get into an after work workout routine, which I still do now. Where I am in FL everything began reopening I think in early May. I ended up having to go back to going in to work May 11. Out of about 60 employees there was only 12 or so of us. Late June I was sent back home and luckily still have been, but I believe I’m going back for good in a week or so. This summer I started classes online towards my degree, so I have been quite busy with both work and school full time. I felt safe going to Universal late June as they had very strict guidelines and requirements (masks, temp. checks, etc), but in my town masks are not required and I’ve noticed people are wearing them less and less in stores. Spending so much time at home, when I am not working or doing school online, has made me realize I would like to find more interests and hobbies and I want to spend more time outside.

Good luck everyone! 😀

In IL right now it is very hot too! My family there said it's been unusually hot lately 😳 I remember when I lived there and as it would start to get warmer I'd be so happy. Illinois is very gloomy the majority of the year so I was always excited once the weather started warming up and I could see the sky hehe

Those are both good times to go! I love Disney but unfortunately they are not reopening until I believe July 11. The Jimmy Fallon ride and a ride in the Harry Potter section were virtual lines only. From what I can remember I think there were a few rides offering the virtual line, but I mainly used the Universal app as a map so I didn't really look too into them. I only saw a virtual line sign in front of the Jimmy Fallon ride.

@BlackCatz40 ooh! I used to live in Illinois, and it was too cold there for me. Personally never being more south than Indianapolis would make me sad lol.. because it is just too cold!

This weekend I went to Orlando with my family. It was a great! On Saturday I went to Universal & Islands of Adventure. Currently it is required you wear a mask unless eating or drinking while in the parks. Before you exit the parking garage your temperature is taken. The park felt crowded and very busy but wait times were low as compared to a typical Saturday. I think the longest I waited for a ride was 30 minutes at most. Each ride required social distancing, so for each car, or whatever the ride has, it would be one family/group of people at a time. I got front row on every ride I went on because of this! That was cool. Lines required social distancing as well. Stickers on the floor indicated where to stand. Before your turn on a ride an employee gives you hand sanitizer. Wearing a mask all day in FL summer heat was difficult, and I don’t plan on doing it again. I would love to return to Universal hopefully not too long from now but not until it is safe to no longer wear masks. I have never felt so hot ever! The water rides had the longest wait times, it had to be at least 98 degrees out. 🥵 Overall, it was a fun trip! I liked Universal better than Islands of Adventure btw 😄

❗️ Congrats everyone on another great Squad Challenge! We have a brand new Squad Challenge coming tonight or tomorrow! Justin’s moving into a new house right now and will put it up as soon as he can.

When I got my DS in 2016 I quickly became addicted to Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Any free time I had I would play it. In early 2018 I became burnt out and no longer had that desire to play, it felt like it became a chore. The other day I got an urge to play again, so I charged up my DS and inserted the game. After not playing in so long I totally forgot what the game was like, despite playing it before all the time! Other DS games I really liked were Tomodachi Life, Nintendogs, Mario Kart, and Pokemon Sun. I know now not to get so into a game that it eventually feels like a chore and is no longer fun. I did the same thing with Sims 3. I want start playing games on my DS again. I still have that "burnt out" feeling for ACNL but the others I enjoyed I look forward to getting back into. Anyone else ever played something so often it almost became a "chore" to play any longer, or was no longer fun? If so, what game was it?

15,832 I find this game difficult! I feel like there's a lot going on. This is my score so far.

Look at those scores! Good job everyone!

Oh that's awesome. I'm going to have to check that out! Thank you! 😄

Here is my score 🙂 223,400

Great episode! I watched this earlier with @Justin ^ 🙂 I haven't played Desert Falcon yet, but it looks fun! I'm not really into the colors, they're really dark, but I look forward to trying this game. I like the Tim & Eric thing you did with the phone and the "ZX Spectrum!" I hope the big move goes well! 🏠

No I have not! 😣😔

Cool! Sometimes I go to the IKEA there or the one in sunrise. I live on the other coast ☺️

@BlackCatz40 I love the Brookfield Zoo and the Museum of Science and Industry! I love going to museums. If you go back to Chicago, I would suggest the Field museum. I have been there a few times. It's super interesting and takes all day to go through. To me it'll always be the Sears tower! You're brave going on the skydeck. There's a building directly in front of the Shedd aquarium, on the other side of the street, that is a tall building of condos. My dad knew someone who owned a condo on one of the highest floors, and would allow a few friends to stay there occasionally. My family stayed a couple times and I loved it. I loved how all the rooms had a wall of just windows so you could see the whole city. I don't think I could ever get used to living there, but the view from those windows was tempting lol @TrekMD I live in FL as well!

Hi everyone 🙂 Does anyone enjoy traveling? If so, where have you been? What's your favorite place to visit? I have been to various different states, and have been to the Bahamas. I enjoy going to Nashville and taking road trips to Illinois (where I'm from) and love going to different museums in Chicago. I haven't been anywhere too exciting besides typical tourist spots (like Key West). I think it would be nice to visit Hawaii sometime!

Good luck on your move! 🏡👏
