Wow! Gorgeous little guy!!

I’ve always wanted a snake…
How much did he cost? What do you feed him….frozen mice?

I was able to play Oregon Trail both at school and my local library when I was growing up. My grade school’s computer lab had these really primitive Apple computers (primitive even for the time) with only the teachers having up-to-date Microsoft computers which were hooked up to giant CRT television screens for the purpose of lessons. I’m guessing the Apples were Macintosh II models, but I can’t be sure. They displayed these light blue menus with white text. I remember Oregon Trail the most from the John C. Hart library though — futility is right. 😆

Hi Yammers, so nice to meet you! :hi:

I’d love to see your art — but I’d suggest posting it in a new topic under “General Art Discussion.” That way, you’ll get more views. :yes:

Not so much. Truth be told, I wanted a metallic reddish orange and snowy white for a metallic reddish copper scheme I wanted for a snow leopard layout that I’ve had in my head for months…. but yea…. not going to go forward with it in this one because it’s not working like I intended. So now I have a new idea for this guy instead of repainting him entirely.

I just got some griffins so I will try again on the next one… with a more orange copper color. :yes: This red was just not the right choice for what I was going for, but I think it will work out in the end for my other idea.
The copper griffin should turn out pretty sharp if you can execute the color scheme the way you want to. I guess we’ll just have to stay tuned to see what happens to the pink one. You did a magnificent job of blending the colors though; if you hadn’t revealed the resulting pink color as unintentional I would never have guessed. 🙂

Our thoughts are with you and your baby
My 3rd is Simba actually from his daughter in the Lion King 2
They gave his daughter in the Lion King 2 the name Kiara and I fell in LOVE with the name the second I heard it
My first baby was about 4 days old when she was found and I named her Kiara, adopted her brother and HAD to name him Kovu, then along came Simba followed by Miss Nala so all 4 of my names came from Disney. It’s sort of backwards from the adults to kids in the movie but they all work
We all know what it is like so hang in there and keep us advised as to th updates
I have had to go thru Crystals in Kovu’s bladder and he was going in the box but nothing was coming out
The vet said it was good I got him in since not going #1 coudl kill him from posining his system

My Simba had crystals briefly, but fortunately it was a mild enough case that it was able to be solved with low-magnesium wet food.

@ Blackdesertwind
After the clean out, I’d recommend sticking with wet food for while, at least until Raven recovers. I provide wet food every so often for Milo and it seems to keep his GI tract in check, and extra brushing also helps to prevent him from swallowing of excessive amounts of hair. What my cat went through mirrored my own suffering. Every doctor kept telling me “fiber, fiber, fiber,” but when there is a moisture imbalance in the bowel, more fiber can sometimes exacerbate constipation. See what your veterinarian says — was there a suggestion for a special diet?

This might be my last year going, as it’s just getting to expensive to go. 🙁

Here is a small snapshot of all the crap I am bringing that’ll be for sale! That’s not even including the prints, augh!
Are those original paintings by you? Wow!!

[Zephyr]

Update: Ten are now available — how about that? 😀

I know, she’s SUPPOSED to be red and white, but mixing the red and white and then blending it = pink basically 🙄

Ah, so you were going for a sort of “peppermint” color scheme right?

well still NO car for me. The mechanic is hearing something he can’t find and said he will not be giving me the car back until they find out what the problem is. He DID however tell me this trip to the machine shop is on the house because he will not let me have the car back until it’s puuuurfect

Hopefully that should be the end of the car trouble.

Five Lynx-points left — I here this month’s raffle will be a flap cat… 😉

Where did you hear this??
My drag name is Jessica in honor of Jessica Rabbitt!

Here are two reports that are both from 2009:
Page 1
Page 2

This is the most recent information that I can find at this time. The first page also features some red text which links to another report describing what the plot supposedly was for one version of the script. There have been many, as Disney has been developing the project since ’97 or so. The Who Framed Roger Rabbit Wikipedia page also has some info regarding the various revisions that the sequel’s script has been through over the years.
—> I have a fond connection to the original film myself. It came out the year I was born, and in many ways it heralded a new golden age of animation which began in the late eighties and extended into the nineties. I actually own an animation cel from the film which is signed by Charlie Fleischer, and I promise I’ll post a picture of it as soon as I join an online photo-sharing site. :yes:

SImEarth was nearer what Spore ended up being; you controlled the planet more than the creatures for most of the game. SimLife was a great ‘playing god’ game, you couldn’t directly control the animals but you could tweak genes at any instant, clone, smite, pick up and move or simply add more. I had almost the whole lot of them: SimCity (original, 2000,3000, 4), SimAnt, SimEarth, SimIsle, SimTower, SimLife . . . um, SimFarm; only SimCity and the Sims survived for the long haul. The two I didn’t have were SimCopter and SimGolf. There were also some children’s games, like SimPark.

Zoo Tycoon was wonderful; I’ve recently reverted to the original version because I prefer it to the second version – not that the second doesn’t have some good additions, but the first.

I have heard very much about Oregon Trail but never actually played it.
Oh, ok — thanks for the clarification. :yes:

I had SimPark, and in my humble opinion, it was pretty bad. I mean, it had it’s own internal logic that hardly resembled reality — kind of like Creatures. 😆 I think that is why Zoo Tycoon came as such a pleasant surprise to me as a kid. I also had the add-on pack which featured dinosaurs. (So impossible and cool!) In Creatures, you could supposedly tinker with the genetic code of your norns directly without having to breed for new traits — it required this program called the Genetics Kit which was far beyond my understanding at the time.

Should I start The Sims 3? Is it any fun? :scratch:

[Zephyr]

Sounds like fun — I’d love to go someday. :yes:
