Seems I was pinged here. Hello. I'm sorry I'm barely active these days owning a house is expensive and I work 5 days a week and I'm on call on the weekends. Usually I spend my spare time on a similarly small and neglected mmo.

Onsen - I know a lot about the reason jelly is not coming back, but for the sake of her privacy I can't say. Just to say that menewsha is too much to handle for her.

I haven't spoken to her in a while though I don't see her online anymore. I think I talked to her for 2 years after she left mene and she's been offline since.

Is jelly still answering e-mail at all?

Also, mene resurrectionists, I wanted to let you know that I'm trying to get some old items that are on my charity mule back into circulation! You can also pick up some bonus gold if you check out this post: https://www.menewsha.com/forum/showp...ostcount=10514 and tell the birds what you think of their idea! There don't seem to be too many menewsha anniversary gifts, npc gifts, or auctioneer items in the marketplace right now, so we are trying to do our part to help!

I hope so as well. Though I've been doing alright, I did nearly run out of money this winter though XD

I'm glad you didn't! :o

Winter seems like an especially crappy time to run out of money.

It is. The reason I know this is because of my dad back when I was in high school

He had this nasty habit of using the money that was supposed to pay the electric and gas bills--the ones he had in his name--to spend on junk food. And then wouldn't pay the bills when the heat and electricity when they got cut off, so we'd be almost halfway through November and no heat, no lights.

And he thought it was all PERFECTLY FINE.

This thread makes me happy to see! I haven’t been on Mene in ages, but it really is a site that is important to me since I spent years here. I can’t remember how old I was when I first joined, but I turned 30 now and have a child of my own. Time really does fly!

If I remember correctly, I was also in college but maybe also still in HS? (I did a dual-enrollment thing.) I need to double check since my brain is fuzzy on the dates. Oh no... I’m old!!

What kind of work are you doing, if you don’t mind me asking?

We're around the same age, so probably the same :D *is currently 30*
Yeah I feel so old sometimes. xD;; It's like, where has all the time gone?!

I'm currently working as a secretary for a marine surveyor company. :)
I handle the reports and whatever other miscellaneous things the manager and/or boss decides to dump on me. XD
Most of the time if there's no work for the surveyors and we're not too busy we get to slack off a bit, especially because the manager and boss are usually not in the office.
I know the surveyors tend to spend their time playing games or watching anime whenever they have free time. xD

Oh yeah? Same age buddies! I checked and I joined in early 2007, so that was right at the end of HS/mid-college for me.

Nice! I’m not working at the moment since I’m being a stay-at-home mom until my daughter is a bit older. She’s only about 9 months old right now. But I know what you meant about desk work. My old job had a lot of down time but they blocked a lot of websites so I tended to chat via Discord on my phone.

I joined in 2009 so it was during college for me~

Ohh, being a stay at home mom sounds busy, especially with a kiddie D:
I'm lucky that none of my jobs have blocked any sites so far as I can detect so I've been free to browse whatever I want so long as I don't get caught. xD;;

It really is exhausting, not gonna lie. I love her to pieces but my daughter is still so young that she needs me 24/7 (yes, including waking up multiple times a night) so I never really get a break. I try to find downtime to check websites (mostly reddit) here and there, but otherwise I don’t really get a lot of “me time” anymore.

And that’s nice! I worked for a school so I can understand why they had a filter on stuff but it was pretty random what sites were blocked. Mene probably wasn’t blocked, come to think of it, but my computer was in a shared office so it would have looked odd to browse an avatar website if anyone walked past. Reddit wasn’t blocked but you couldn’t post for whatever reason. YouTube was blocked despite us being required to use it sometimes so we had to click past the filter... it was dumb.

Yeah, I really admire how so many parents are able to handle their daily life while still being able to care for their children. It's something I'd probably have a lot of trouble doing, especially with the waking up multiple times a night thing.

Oh! That reminds me of how back in junior high school some of the kids in class would try to use the classroom computer to browse porn and they'd mostly be blocked...but there are so many porn out there they end up finding some to read/watch anyway so it's kind of a moot point for the determined. They'd also use the classroom computer to play online MMORPGs too, using bots to do their playing/farming while they sit in class.

I don’t know how some people do it without going nuts. I’ve had a few points where I felt close to snapping from the crappy sleep. It hasn’t really gotten better, but I’ve gotten used to it. So I guess that’s the answer... you eventually just get used to it.

Sneaky kiddos! I don’t understand the appeal of watching porn at school or work, but apparently it’s more common than you’d think.

That's still pretty amazing, I'd probably die from lack of sleep.

lol Yeah, I don't see how watching porn in a semi-public setting is appealing either. Maybe they just like the thrill of doing something 'forbidden' or whatnot. *shrug*

Ferra has a kid now? :D

I will be joining you 30s people in about a week so... I'm old too :(

May not be commonplace by I did see a kid doing exactly that in a computer class back in high school. Sigh. Just wait til you get home ya weirdo.

Yep, my daughter is still just a baby though. She can pull up to stand but can’t walk yet. Can’t talk yet either. Super cute but she can be a handful.

And nah, as much as I joke about it, 30 is still quite far from “old”. Old is a state of mind!
