Oh dear. It’s good to hear that Bubbas is home, though! I’m sure he is much happier now that he’s not at the vets anymore, even if he does have to take nasty medicine.
Oh man. Just today, I was over at a friend’s house making cookies…
We had all the ingredients and everything. She had even made a special run to the store in order to get it all! Marshmellows, cocoa, eggs, vanilla… All was looking good. We made it through the first three steps just fine–until… the baking soda came up. My job was to stir the batter, my friend Charlotte was measuring stuff and dumping it in… she accidentally misread the recipe and put in HALF A CUP of baking soda instead of HALF A TEASPOON. >.< I didn't notice until I'd stirred a good deal of it in, and then after that it was all pick-scoop-try-to-salvage. We thought we got enough of it out, so we chucked 'em in the oven… and burnt the bloody heck out of them, on top of the fact that they'd run all over the pan and turned into one huge conglomerate mess.
And then came the frosting…
… Which tasted delicious (can’t mess up a mixture of butter, cocoa, and sugar no matter how hard you try), but through some strange twist of fate, it refused to thicken. It was like chocolate syrup. “What the heck?” says I. “Pour it on anyway,” says Charlotte.
So we did. Not that it mattered, as the gosh darned cookies were inedible anyways. They tasted TERRIBLE. The only thing we managed to do right was melt the marshmellows on top… and that was just a waste of marsmellows.
*sigh* We threw them–it, I should say–all in the trash. Nasty stuff.
It’s horrible when you mess up cookies to the point at which you can’t eat them, because then you’ve done all that work for nothing!

Awww, how sweet, you commented on my topic…and you said it was a mistake letting me on here. 😛
She can’t keep her mouth shut when you start talking about art. 😀
Anyhow (gah my cat is sitting on my keyboard…hard.. to type..), ANYHOW. I really love FFX for the art, like in that one scene with Tidus and Yuna in the water, with all the sparklies and pretty, artsy compositions. And Magic the Gathering is awesome, too–I had no idea Rebecca Guay did MTG cards until BPBear showed me yesterday, I thought that was pretty cool…
Also, I had no idea that WoW had such nice graphics. O.O Tis booootiful.
(Now… to hit the submit button.. with a touchpad that is underneath my kitty’s rear.. stupid cat.)
I hope he makes it… it’s hard to watch a pet begin to fade, and especially so when you don’t know what is wrong with them. Best wishes, Drag0n.

“Mom, can I put it in my room??”I’d have to kick my brother out before it would fit in my room…

You too, SilverArrow. Thank you for the truffles, they were delicious.
I sent it to the return address on the envelope you sent me a while back. Will it get to you guys?
Oh! That was probably the house address! Yep, it’ll get here just fine. We’ll make sure to give Karen hers.

Can you send down some of the oak trees?? With that lovely deep green moss on them… Sigh.

I WANT SNOW!!!! It was snowing in the pass when we drove back down from Oregon… we weren’t sure if we needed chains or not, so my dad goes “Well, let’s see if we skid!” and hits the brakes. 😯 Unfortunately, we didn’t. That would have been fun.

Ah, well that too.
Dragon Master, what’s the problem you’re having with the avatar thingy? I might be able to help. 🙂
