Does anyone know this, “Who can’t be beat? A dead horse!” And “Cakesniffing orphans in the orphan shack!” If you do know this reply back! :3 (ik it)

ajg16

🤔 this sounds like that episode on the Series of unfortunate events show 😁 am I right 😋

auntieb

@ ajg15 if you like the series of unfortunate events show you should.....Read the books!!! They are quite enjoyable! I listened to them on audiobook and they are read by Tim Currey! The show does add more to the books and the Teleplay is written by the author. Like I said the books are good but the episodes do add more and explain some stuff as well. hope you enjoy!

auntieb

Yes!! It's from a series of unfortunate events! is it book The Austere Academy?

Hi guys 👋 so I need some big advice today... Have any of you ever had to use crutches or have had a family who have had crutches? Cause I kinda need some tips on how to use them uncomfortably. If your wondering why, well.. I was at the skate park and I was going on the ramps doing pretty ok, and on last one I did I kinda fell and when I fell I did it the wrong way, and while paying on the go found I realized my ankle had swollen badly and one thing led to another and after some X-Rays my ankle had a very bad sprain. (Which they thought was going to be a break) anyways how I have a air cast and crutches and yeah, sorry for the long life story '-' anyways... any tips? Thanks guys -Ajg15 ♥♥♥

bacon_bitzz

Oh, I'm so sorry too hear that! SOorry, no tips.😥

ajg16

*Comfortably not UNcomfortably* my badd

My cousin is currently in crutches and he told me that you shouldn't rest your armpits on the crutches to steady your weight, bcuz it tends to be uncomfortable. Instead, use your arms and grip the handles to steady your weight. Also, it might help to wear a comfortable shoe on your uninjured foot. Hope your ankle gets better soon! :)

ajg16

Thank you a ton for the tips I really appreciate them! (Also hope your cousin gets better soon)

joeycollin13

i hope you feel better soon! (i've never used crutches, I've only ever broken my arm and my rib before) I hope youll be okay! good luck!

ajg16

Thank you ❤

Yes, I've broken/sprained/fractured my leg/ankle multiple times. I'm so sorry! It sounds painful! I have some tips....buy the fluffy things for your arms or use washcloths/something soft, because they're going to be REALLY sore after a day or two. Hang a bag around your shoulder to carry essentials. When you change your clothes, sit on your bed. Leave your classes early (your teachers will usually encourage you to). Get some good books because you won't be able to do stuff for a while :( sorry D: Don't watch TV endlessly because your head will start to hurt. Carry around a water bottle so you don't have to get up to get a drink. That's all I can think of for right now! I hope you get better soon!

ajg16

I really appreciate the tips, like a ton! Thank you so much.

Hey guys! So I have a project that I have to do for school, and it is about Buddhism (the religion) I was wondering, do any of practice Buddhism? Thanks!

ajg16

Sorry, no - good luck tho 👍🏻

joeycollin13

nope, sorry!

applemango

Cool project, but, sorry to say I don't really know a whole lot about that but, I know I mean you go to temples to worship....not much else.

chlooe

No, sorry!

coolergirl

So...um what exactly is Buddhism? I need to know what it is to practice it! Anyone know or do Buddhism? Thanks!

anajas1

Buddhism is a religion that was founded by Gautama Buddha. It revolves around peaceful living. Search it up! : )

echofan360

Well, I don’t, but I am very familiar with it since, my grand uncle practiced it a lot when I visited. I would recommend you reading The Journey To The West, which talks about a group of god who got banished from the sky lands because they committed sins, so the have to follow a monk on a journey from China to India, with monsters and obstacles crossing their pathes, in order to show the gods can be responsible and controlled; but I don’t think you would have time, so there is a Netflix show called The New Legends Of Monkey, which kind of skins the story and changes some plots, changes genders of certain characters, and puts a very western twist on it. Anyway, that is all I have to recommend to you.

anajas1

I will definitely check those out!

bookstory14

Sorry, I can't help you there!

No I don't, but my class had this field trip were we went too see an actual Buddhist monk! It was so peaceful and quiet were he lived. He had this structure in the middle of a lake (it was like a Tibet house type thing) and we meditated there and talked about budhism. There was no sound at all except the little ripples of the lake and his occasional voice. It was awesome!

anajas1

A structure in the middle of the lake sounds REALLY cool!

bookstory14

It sounds really peaceful! We meditate in class every Wednesday and it's my favorite part of the day because my mind is so relaxed!

bacon_bitzz

Wow that sounds so fun!
