I'll have to think on this a little, with all the talk of jewelry being talked about. There is an outfit out of the Southwest USA. That sells jewerly making stuff, even the stones. easy to put together things and you can get inventive, Did I mention cheap? Did I mention good quility? I'll have to back track some to figure out the exacts, been years. When and if I do I'll get up a link. I made a ruby earring, diamond and emerald, for cheap. Did some others too. The diamond got ripped off froma motel, the ruby I lost and still have the emearld. Some really sweet opals for sale including the boulder type. Not hard to put the things together, no real special tools or extreme hand ability. You can get to that level if you like, they seem to have it all. Even premade. you might have to restring it or something along that line but not hard.

My spelling really sucks tonight, frustrating s**t.

I still won't eat unless someone puts it there and reminds me to eat and I often go without sleep to write. I would write before anything and that includes dh. I would give up anything except that. If I had to pay to do it, I would. Fortunately I don't have to pay. I have a bad enough addiction to jewelry, but my writing eclipses everything including every obsession and everything else I have. I will literally write while I drive Postie. How's that for you?


Lol seen the driving while doing something else to that extreme before. I have distant cousin who almost off the aspie chart range. He used to drive and read a newspaper and I mean in a 55 mile an hour zone.

Thanks for the reminder to go eat. :wink:

How's your desipline with writing? I'm finding trying to do poetry extremly good for it. I'm forced due to this style I'm doing to keep it limited in length and have to pay very strict attention to simple things like commas and periods. didn't see or know of a style, so i guess I'm making it up as i go. Just limiting myself to a word length for a writing wasn't getting me to where I wanted. Wrote one and I don't think it's much over 14 lines long and feel it''s too long. Love it.

Postie, in WoW, does a guild have to be all one alignment, or can you mix Light Side and Dark Side characters?

One of my perseverations is cruising CafePress.com for things I'm almost certainly never going to actually buy (they want money and stuff). I saw a shirt there I thought some of the WoW players might get a kick out of: "This Is My Alt."

Oh, BTW: Hi, Lemon! And a mass wave to everybody else, because I only actually say "hi" on special occasions! :)

goodness, you and I must be identical twins, I could have written (and probably HAVE) the above. I love being mentioned in posts but I can't keep everyone straight or even jumbled up remembering names, although I could tell you about a "flavor" of them or a way they make me feel, or remember that they mentioned about such and such and so and so.

I would like to amend the 'love' of being mentioned in posts. I only like it when it comes from my raving fans ( and we DO have raving fans. . ZanneMarie has her OWN THREAD in the indepth Adult discussion forum!) When that guy that will remain nameless starts poking me about coming on too strong or being too 'out there' for normal folk it is all I can do to just placidly ignore the damn troll. Gawd I love to bait trolls. . (stop it, Postie!)

Merle
this is my day off! YEAHHH! and I am going to hang my pretty green wire shelves in my sunny little ( well TINY) breakfast nook. I have to sit in the kitchen to be 'in' the nook but there it is. My plants present and future will love it!

Oh, Postie! I am so sorry that Swampblossom was downgraded to a depression! I mean Sub Tropical Andrea was, that is!
If there were a Hurricane Merle, I would want it to be memorable, so I understand her depression over her depression.
poor thing,

:wink:

I can do between ten to thirty pages a night after I get home from work. Depends on how interested I am in that part. When I really like it, 30 pages. It's all in how fast I can keep up. It's all there. I just turn it on and hit the keyboard. Then, I'm gone. I hear nothing. If dh talks to me, I won't register it, but it ends up in the story as something a character says. LOL What's funny is those real life things that get in seem to be what makes it the most real to life.

You do not come on too strong or act too out there. For God's sake, just ignore the cretin. What is normal? Let this person go write a dissertation on that and get back to us.



Merle. Merle. Merle. I miss you!! !! Glad you love your breakfast nook!


Lemon. Lemon. Lemon. More art, you genius! Love your work. It's fabulous!

No hurricane jokes! I'm freaking out about the fires and my pets. I'm already fussing and wanting to go home.


It's raining here today. Wish it would there. Maybe Andrea will take rain to my side of the state, but it doesn't appear that way.

Zanne! I just remembered: I did the "Vacation Dance" spinning left, when I should have done it spinning right. Hang on I think I can fix this....

Thank you Chuck. I also just put my Xanax (that I had for the plane trip) through the wash. LOL It's getting seriously hilarious! Like a sick, hysterical kind of hilarious. I think dh is about to lose it. I need to go buy some Rescue Remedy to calm down.

I love it when vacations hit the "hysterically laughably bad" stage. :) Those are the ones you and dh can look back on for years and years, and even in a later time of desperation, you can bring it up and quickly be reduced to pee in your pants belly laughs.

:)

He just frowns. OCD people don't handle us chaotic people that well and with my brain, chaos is constantly happening. I remind him that I give him something to clean up.

He just found money in the wash. That isn't going over big either. Although it's a common occurence. We need to get back in the water. At least the sun is finally coming out.

Anyway, this is nothing compared to our trip to German (when there was East and West Germany) when my passport was stolen and he had to get back to Italy. Lots of boo hooing on my part and he ended up staying until the Embassy opened. Of course it happened on President's Day weekend! LOL I think it's funny now. He just frowns. This is him. >:( See the frown? He doesn't see the humor.
