Great mural! Front line heroes!

How are you Sweetie?

Good Day My Loves!

There is a fresh pot of coffee if anyone in in need. I'm heading for my second cup if anyone wishes to join me.

Okay uhmm.... Finnish people do not have of habit of responding to that like "I am fine, how are you?" we say it how it is.

Look, elf sister. I have no problems, i have everything i need and even more. But could you help me with this issue of my rant? I am asking you because i trust you and you have a massive load of life experience, both good and bad experiences.

My rant at myself

And I think the younger kid has finally talked hubs, who's been extremely reluctant to consider it, into getting her a snake (one of her dream pets after Bearded Dragons, kid loves reptiles)

Interesting kid

(interesting in a good way)

So you referred to the kid as "her" so what is going on here? She has not been asking for a unicorn? Well that can't be done in real reality, maybe here in the Shed it would be possible. But how about a tiny cute pony?

I think the kid is showing some real character, and edge of that character ("Edge" as in a single point in a person's character which i find very interesting, regardless of the person's age)

Nah, she likes unicorns, has plenty of clothing with unicorns on it, lol. She's not particularly interested in having figurines or stuffed unicorns, though, she collects everything Dinosaur and Fossil (and Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars) When it comes to her interests, she's very Tomboy -- even as a toddler, she had zero interest in dolls, playing "house" and the like. She's always had a keen interest in dinosaurs (to the point where being a paleontologist or fossil hunter is a serious career consideration for her) and LOVES cars. Hubby and her love going to car shows -- she's got a sizable "wishlist" of cars to get and restore with ol' dad someday.

She's also fond of bugs, and especially worms. She'll spend all day outside digging up worms (claims she's "surveying" the population in the yard, rotfl) The boys in the neighborhood (mostly younger brothers of their friends) have run home hollering/grossed out when she showed them handfuls or a pail of worms, I found that quite funny

I forget how big a corn snake gets. Will you have to feed it mice? I always remember my Rat that I got from my Niece's Husband. It was supposed to be snake food. I loved that rat. RIP little girl.

I think corn snakes max out around 5 or 6 feet. They're definitely not tiny creatures, but certainly manageable. And yes, they eat mice and rats, and she knows this. "Well, the fish store sells frozen ones in their big freezer, I've seen the packages when we looked at the frozen bloodworm food for the fish!" If she's ok with thawing and feeding a frozen rodent, then that's fine -- I think she'd end up getting attached to the live food.

I like your idea of DIY jazz-it-up route with the furniture.

It's certainly fun to do! Many years ago, my sister-in-law gave me her dresser, headboard and footboard from when she was a kid, but I hated the look of it, the set is solid wood, but was stained so dark it was almost black. I spent many months years ago carefully hand-sanding most of the detail on the bed pieces to get into the nooks and crannies of the curves, and stained it more of a cherry tone. The only part about doing that by hand that was hard was the immensely thick layer of lacquer on it, that was a pain to get off in the tight spaces.

We even got lucky as hell and found new drawer pulls for the dresser at the hardware store with wood detail in the exact same shade, it looks pretty nice! It does, however, still need one final sanding and sealing even after all these years. The finish still has a rough knap to it, so it's not a smooth finish. I'm hoping to get to it this spring, if I can.

Sometimes simplicity can be profound.

The dresser sounds like a lot of work went into it and I'm sure when it is complete it will be worth all the effort. My bedroom set is cherry wood. Nice color!

*Pulls some moss and mudd away from his face, from the "Mudd Pit".

I love ATS! Did you know I was recently told I "look more like Kim than his sister does"?? Lol OMG that's so cool I guess! It was by an old cranky a-hole ATS veteran muhahah. I feel so honored! Within the same minute, another member said my avatar reeks of concentrated evil!! I should change it!! Hell no, I said. I ain't changing it! Maybe I can be like a chaotic evil rogue or something now??

a reply to: Wookiep

Haha!

Hey there Wookie! How are you? Still playing music?

Go see, go see!

Nothing is wrong with me. Except the usual mental insanity and alcoholism.

This is about a person which i care about really much, and that person needs me.

Unable to do anything about right now due to me being wasted.

This makes me feel like no one.

You have a PM Fin

Awww, you're still someone Fin. Could you try calling them and let them know you're not at your best right now, but promise to get back to them when you can?

Here are your boobies little bunny...

Not sure if the cheap ploy off a song is appropriate here but here goes.

Even if the song is not to your beat, the lyrics are beautiful and make me smile.

Its great to try too sing along with the music. I promise.

From the very first day, I've seen a darker part of me
I never look for catastrophe, it runs around and the rhythm will dance with me
Same enough for faded eyes that see the hole erupt in the very heart of life
Aching just to be living in the light, hurting as the pain travels to my eyes.

I got a reason all the demons on the road are meant to be there
I'll never be sane without the air that drifts in islands within all I fear
We're all alone and that's the deal, but together we roam on in the cities and fields.
Changing all the games in our life, playing a part to keep stoking the fire

Standing on the shoulders of the greats, is not enough to keep a hold these days
Changing up the stakes, moving away, making it hard to live authentically
All the gods are dead and I believe they never left us a bright legacy
Now we're asking Who do we go to with all our matters of urgency

We've gotta see the need to feel the revolutions of the heart
As it circles deep within us, turning into endless tracks of cold rust
When I see it totally, there's no need to try throw it all away
With every ugly truth I am baptised, turning all the bitter taste in to wine

All hearts and dreams
Take us to this place where
We want nothing
Just to be a piece of
Everlasting
Moments in a restless time

If I should fall,
I would fall in bliss cos
My faded form, coloured in with mist is a
Role I could take or leave behind to give the form to the faded night

Binded to the former sea. Cannot even break doctrine
All living in atrophy can another tradition be asinine

I'm not gonna stay this time, living the lie to keep getting on by
Shame about the rest, now I got my own story.

Yeah we're so hard pushed to ... save a bit of light coming our way
Rise everybody in the rain.

Now I call on me, to reclaim all the apathy
It's not a fate that means I can blame it on this
culture government or politics.
I forsake the right when I feel life in the whole spectrum of this other light
I can mould a clay man and leave him blind, or accept responsibility this time

Now we go to forge a way, cos here we validate, negate the fallacy.
Shame about years that we weren't here, when our testament fell on a sea of deaf ears.
Lets start again the call to arms, strip me bare, enhance, the king is crowned at last
Centuries gonna remember us, when the world was healed and given back its heart

Hi C.J.! Nice! Thanks for sharing!


How are you doing today?

I was feeling weak and vulnerable. Therefore, i called upon all pixies for one to show up.

Here is Mirabelle:



She does not like me very much. She instantly told me that my breath smells like beer and tobacco. I replied "that may be because i am having beer and tobacco"

This didn't start really well.

Can i send her to someone, anyone of you? But your breath can't smell like beer and tobacco. Mirabelle truly does not like that.

Once she hangs out with you for a while, your personality will win her over, and she will not mind you breath any longer.

Or, cook her a nice Italian dinner, with lots of

garlic, and her breath will be as smelly as yours!
