    I don't have anything to say really but just wanted to let you know that I'm following this, I'm glad you can use Tildes and all the tildootians in this life altering process and I'm thankful for you letting us take part in some way.

    I also wish you, your children, your partner and FIL all the best.

    I've gotten into the habit of numbering the different parts of my multipurpose messages.

    And quite a few people have gotten the hang of answering with numbers too (to the parts that they want and just ignoring the rest, as you do!)

    Works wonders in my experience!

    important! I don't mind another way to do it for people that find the current way cumbersome to type out.

    But it's important to me that there will be a way to keep the functionality of the custom summary. Either by implementimg the new way alongside the current one or making sure that whatever syntax is chosen includes that.

    I will hijack the topic a little....

    I'm possibly, maybe looking for some kind of watch-like device in the android universe that:

    • measures heart rate
    • measures blood oxygen level (SpO2)
    • has a timer with vibration (super extra plus if there is a way to set up "timer-programs" for stuff like interval training, etc)
    • "syncs" in some kind of open way with android (so not with 1 proprietary app with zero or very cumbersome export capabilities OR requiering syncing with a proprietary cloud service)

    If anyone has a recommendation of a device or just good search terms or a decent review site or article I'd be very grateful :)

    Wow!

    "Ghoti" was the only word written on the board when we walked in to our first English class with the new teacher in 8th grade.

    I liked her. She kind of got me, and showed no sign if knowing any of my history that constantly got in the way with everyone else in school.

    Great flashback! Thanks <3

    I'm in a severely anhedonic period, so this is a really good reminder that there is joy in the world, thanks OP! <3

    There are however still 3 simple things that I can notice that I enjoy:

    • walking barefoot anywhere that's isn't just asphalt, preferably foresty
    • jumping, or just walking through, barefoot in water puddles in front of families with younger children (~<10yr)
    • floating in 'my' lake, meditatively and feeling my entire body and specifically my head & brain cool down (in temperature, but mostly in activity)

    After playing the tutorial I will definitely save it in my "small games" bookmark folder, thanks!

    [Edit:]I do enjoy it, it is fun and a way to play with words that I like. However, I do think it relies quite heavily on cultural knowledge so that is one reason I still haven't been able to solve one fully.

    Honestly, as alwsys, not being able to solve it with literal facepalming involved is a reason for me to try again and again.

    I'm guessing that it comes from experience, like you start playing the basic game:

    Taking turns saying words that start with the same letter as the previous persons word ended with.

    Then you add one constraint/rule at a time (category is a common one, to add) in such a way that the people who are used to play together don't really notice how complex everything has gotten.

    I've played the basic game including categories a lot, but never thought of expanding the rules.

    But ofc, this is just a guess based on how I've experienced group and play behaviour :)

    This comment (together with the topic about tags on tildes) resurfaced a major hope I've always had with all attempts of PKM (or whatever we call them this year):

    I sense there is a way to do tag-clouds with refinements that would allow me to actually be able to keep adding information/knowledge without the burden of remembering where it is being the limit.

    There’s a very brief window of time where they don’t yet realize I’m not the coolest person ever so I’m gonna enjoy that a bit :)

    The article and @Captain_Wacky comment ties really well into a home coocked model that I've been using around sleep, learning, attention, etc that lets me explain why babies sleep so much, some elderly people barely sleep and ADHD:ers zone out so much.

    Like I sometimes get hung up on the topic tags, even though I know we have community members who will tag/re-tag everything. Which has prevented me from posting before, because I'll get distracted while trying to figure out tags, and forget that I'm trying to post something.
