Jun. 18th, 2012 08:00 amMom brought me to Dad's workshop to clean it up and mow the lawn yesterday morning for Father's Day. Between mowing and vacuuming what Mom still had yet to vacuum, I went down to the gas station with some money that Mom gave me, and bought myself a vanilla Nesquik and an oreo brownie, and consumed both upon coming back.
After we were finished, Mom drove to a different grocery store than we normally go to (since we were coming from the shop instead of from home), and I bought a bagel and a box of "Candy Blast" cookies (w/ colored chocolate chips). Also noticed a chocolate version of Lucky Charms, and showed it to Mom, but she asked me to put it back.
Mom was also going to drive down to Lowe's, but it was already noon at that point, and she was getting kinda hungry. I myself felt tired from working, and had a nap after bringing the groceries into the house.

Aside from straightening Dad's shop up and doing some mowing at home, I spent most of the day at the Global Trade Station in Pokemon Diamond, looking through every last species I have access to to check for any good deals involving either shiny Pokemon or mons I don't have yet. Successfully got a Shieldon in exchange for a Bagon that I previously migrated from Emerald, in order to evolve a recently captured Rhydon into Rhyperior. Check. Tried then to trade my Alakazam for the same Garchomp that was there the other day when I evolved Haunter and Onix. Instead, I got a message saying that it was already traded to someone else. Later on, I manage to trade a Slakoth for a Dratini, but fail to trade my Chansey (the same one that hatched just the other day) for a Lickitung.
I can understand this kind of bullshit with Deviantart's llama trade group, when you click "Give a llama badge", click OK, and then get a message saying "This trade offer is no longer available", but that's a webpage and requires a refresh in order to update, and anyone could have gotten the points offered just milliseconds before you do. This, being part of a game and with probably far less of a userbase than several years ago, should simply update itself before you even log back in, just like with that Misdreavus that I was gonna trade a Weavile for the other day.
