Raincloak Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 You can donate whole blood about 5 to 6 times a year, if you are healthy. So it would take you about 20 years of regular donations to give 100 times (assuming you are currently at zero). You might want to consider adjusting that to platelets, which you can donate a lot more often because you replace them faster.If you visit 3 states a year, going to all 50 will take you about 17 years. A faster way might be to take a month or so and tour the Eastern seaboard, and cover other states in groups with a road trip. Of course, Alaska and Hawaii will require separate trips, since it'll take weeks to get to either unless you fly.Running a 5k is very easy. That's just 3.1 miles. A lot of people swear by the "Couch to 5k" program, which takes like ... 2 months I think?I've beaten all forms of ADoM, but only one regular ending without savescumming It takes foreeeever. Protip: the fastest way to reach L+ in a hurry is to get a familiar, drown it in the underwater cave, and heal it with magic. (Also, skip every sidequest that's not required for the ending. Every quest increases the risk you'll get killed.) Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

kawatan Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm only 24 and donated for the first time yesterday, so I figure I have plenty of time, even if I get pregnant at least once. I may adjust to include platelets/plasma, though. I've also already visited the entire Eastern seaboard from Maine to Florida, so that's 16 so far. (I live in New York and went to college in Florida, and vacationed in the Northeast regularly growing up.) If my fiance was sticking with his PhD I would have gotten a chance to go to Alaska this summer while he researches, but he's dropping to a Master's so it's doubtful he'll be back for that. Still, there will be other opportunities. Some of these goals are "easier", but motivating myself to run is hard, so I figure it's worthwhile. All worthwhile roguelikes take forever, but that's what makes them worth it. Besides, since it's turn based, I can pause whenever I want. :3 Have you been keeping up with the new updates after the IndieGoGo campaign? I'm pretty excited about it.

Rexxar Txan Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 For language learning focus on listening (understandi), speaking, reading, writing, grammar in that order. Try watching children's shows in the language your currently learning as they are easier to understand and usually repeat the same frases over and over in each episode.

Ancalagon The Black Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Great goals ! Ancient Domains of Mystery is a great game and so difficult with the instakill ! I have finished it on all endings though. It was quite a challenge. I have also lost at the very end due to stupid mistakes many times. Quote Ancalagon The Black.

Zeanai Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Oh giving blood, that's a good one which I'm going to add to mine. I've given a few times over the years but I tend to forget, and I get the flu a lot so it tends to be less than once a year. Good motivation I thought about adding footie games to mine as well, think I'll add the next world cup too actually, if NZ start winning again that isYou're much braver than I am in your pull up goals - love it Quote Level 2 wood elf Druid/ranger | STR4 | DEX2 | STA4 | CON5 | WIS6 | CHA3 | battle logthe cure for everything is salt water; sweat, tears, or the sea | not all those who wander are lost Link to comment
