It's on the app store. Just install it and it's pretty easy to navigate.

I wanted to add that as someone who loves toys and collecting them, I was never really fond of two kinds of toys from my generation: troll dolls and Beanie Babies. Troll dolls are just creepy and Beanie Babies are boring to me. :p

Thank you, Molly. Bless you.

So in the beginning Pokemon was basically stamp collecting, but then you could use the monsters you collected in battle. Now... there are no battles, just stamp collecting?

Pokemon in real life? How does that work, exactly?

Basically the game uses the camera on the back of your phone to try to pretend that the pokemon you are trying to catch is standing right in front of you. Your phone shows a display of the view in front of you and imposes an animated picture of a pokemon monster on that display. You swipe the screen to toss a ball at the monster to catch it.


And... that's about it. There's a little stuff borrowed from geocaching, like you have to go to certain real world places to stock up on pokeballs.

Thanks, Lynx. I hope people don't do something stupid. Like stand in the middle of the road while trying to catch a pokemon.

I have to be honest, I don't understand Pokémon. My kid's love it, they buy the card's watch the show and talk about it all the time. They watch it on Netflix a lot. I will often hear it in the background and cringe, I can't stand the sound of the yellow things voice. Sorry and no offense Pokémon Fan's. I'm old and I miss Bugs Bunny.

So the other day, I was reading Matthew chapter 14 (where Jesus feeds 5,000 men and their families) and I noticed something in verse 20.

And they (everyone) all ate and were satisfied. And they (the disciples) took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces (of bread) left over.

12 baskets of bread. That's not an arbitrary number. Maybe it points to the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles who were representatives of both the twelves tribes and their patriarchs and of the universal Church.

Not only were there 12 baskets of bread left over, the bread was broken! Broken bread brings to mind Luke 22:19.

And He (Jesus) took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Therefore, the 12 baskets of left-over broken bread could be representative also of Jesus' broken body being enough to satisfy humanity's universal hunger for salvation and a Saviour.

Wow.

I did, until someone told me not to (it was at a place I worked). :rolleyes: I told them what happened and they said to call the number on the machine. -_-

Played disc golf for the first time tonight. It was fun, even though we had no clue what we were doing. :)

Yes. very fun. I made the mistake of calling it Frisbee golf once. There were some serious dudes who set me straight that the sport was called DISC golf. They had a big bag of different kinds of frisbee...er discs that curved left, some that curved right, and so on. But it was still fun.
