Thank you! I rock my sudoku old school - paper and mechanical pencil. Itā€™s an oasis for me. I love it. I love the pocket-sized books.

I actually did too but itā€™s been so long that I donā€™t remember it. Also I have atrocious pen-holding techniqueā€”I apparently hold my writing implement like a leftie even though Iā€™m a rightie :face_vomiting:ā€”so Iā€™ve been training myself back into a good writing posture/grip. Actually found cursive drills to be super useful in that regard!

I was hanging out with my brother, throwing as i always do. When one of the patients next door noticed and asked me to show them something. Next thing i know i was walking into each roomā€¦ put on 15 personal shows, messed up a bunch but no one noticed. In the process i actually learned a new bind.
Anyone know the name of this bind ?

One handed laceration bind - try doing two whips instead of just one! Makes it flow better :wink:

I totally found it by accident. Iā€™l try to double whipā€¦ all this while trying to learn a hook. I should have guessed the name.
Thanks for the tip

Also known as the ghost bindā€¦and when you end up in a knot I like what @French calls it haha (getting in this knot will happen less and less the more you use this bind)

Actually no, theyā€™re totally different. The laceration bind is a frontspin bind. The ghost bind doesnā€™t involve whipping the string into the gap, you whip the string up next to the yo-yo, then without moving the rest of the slack you make a little circle around the yo-yo that it falls into, creating a proper backspin bind with the slack.

Nice catch! Sorry for the misinformation!

Great job on finding it on your own @AKYOYOMIKE :smiley: Glad you were able to throw with your bro!

I collect virtual cards over at www.neonmob.comā€¦nothing serious, just casual for me. Iā€™ve never spent any money thereā€¦though I have been collecting for 3+ years now and have tens of thousands of cards.

And I love to help others. A big part of the site is trading cards with other members to complete sets. Well, I love to send people really hard to find rare cards just randomly to be nice.

I just got a message today saying my account has been given a permanent flag for going against their TOSā€¦they accused me of oppening several accounts and funneling cards or something. lol /sigh

One of the guys that runs the site actually took the time to sit down and chat with me.
A lot of people spend a ton of money on this siteā€¦and thereā€™s a lot of artist who make money from it. So itā€™s unfair that I give these rare cards to people so freelyā€¦itā€™s like Iā€™m letting them cheat. They donā€™t have to pay for or earn these cards.

But the way I view itā€¦is if I died today, what would happen to all the cards in my collection? They just sit in my dead account collecting virtual dust. I love being able to help othersā€¦it always feels good to randomly make peopleā€™s days with awesome trades they werenā€™t expecting lol.

The guy was super cool and understandingā€¦he dug through my trade history and can see that Iā€™m clearly not using mutliple accountsā€¦and he made a compromise with me. I can still give my cards out to peopleā€¦but I need to cut it back to 3 times a week. I can do so on Friday, Saturday and Sundays.

ā€¦
lol what a dumb little drama this is!
:stuck_out_tongue:

I need a life! lmao

No pets allowed. We spend time together throughout the day. I could be evicted if I brought him inside. He was born outdoors and itā€™s where he has always lived.
