All I can think of is something bit that poor kirin right in the bum!
I’m sorry, all I thought of was PARVO!! Bloody diarrhea!
LMAO !!!
I had posted up my wish list, which I had never done before, and a few days later she offered me a piece that was on it ! The Old style female KiRin ! 🙂 My male KiRin will be soooo happy once she arrives ! He is sooo lonely, lol ! I was just totally blown away by such a random act of kindness ! 🙂 Really meant a lot to me 🙂
………. I’m bitching about everyone being selfish, that I don’t want to do the same darn thing, when reality is, that is probably exactly what I need to do, put my foot down and do what is right for me, not for everyone else…
*facedesk* I don’t know how I managed to let everyone do this to me, but I need to change how people see me and treat me, cause I am not a doormat, especially to the people who mean the most to me 🙁I been there years back… being treated like a well-used doormat… and you know your right. You DO have to put your foot down and think of yourself for once. It is hard, darn right, and they may never understand your point of view or see what they were doing was wrong, but you know what, it doesnt really matter ! If they truly love you they will see the light in the end.
You only live once, and life is too short to constantly be suffering for the well-being of others. What about YOU? You deserve happiness as much as anyone else , so maybe its time you took control and put yourself first 😉 (sure its ok to put others first occasionally, as we care and want to help them, but not all the time… the only peson that can truly take care of ourselves, is ourself… so put your foot down, and take care of YOU ) *hugs*
Thanks everyone ! Its been a great BD so far, with a few Windstone pieces due to arrive tomorrow, and one special piece that JynXx was kind enough to give to me !!! (blown away by that awesome gesture of kindness !)
Heading out soon for supper, being treated to a nice feast of Chinese food, mmmm 🙂 And its been a rainy day here for most of the day, which I also love ! Rainy days are awesome 🙂 A nice day to cuddle and relax 😀
This forum is full of so many kind hearted people ! I just want to say thank you so so much to the forum member who decided to make one of my wishes from my wish list come true ! And she did this just in time for my birthday which is tomorrow ! What a tremendous surprise, it truly means the world to me !
Thank you JynXx !!! Your totally amazing !! 😀
Since I have never posted a wishlist, I figured I might as well now. There are lots I want, and I know this list wont be complete, ever, likely, lol! So I guess these are mostly pieces Im currently looking for or want the most.
Unicorns- Male, Mother, and a Grand. (not the new black or the new snow white, but preferably the old style black, or some other interesting colors)
I fell in love with the “Winter Berry” Mother Unicorn that was on ebay Jan 2014…. I would love to find her someday.Kirins- The old style Mother EDIT: She has been found ! 🙂
Old style babyGriffins- Female and male both.(unsure of colors)
Dragons- Old Warrior (not sure what color).
Young- blue peacock.
Spectral and a Rising Spectral (unsure what colors)
Male Black Gold and Black Gold Fledgling (I have the mother).
A oriental dragon
Scratching dragon
And More Copper-Patina with red eye paints-( I have the Mother and Mother coiled ).And some day Id like an ebay piece, by Melody, with a COA w/ sketch 😉
Im sure there is more I could add if I though hard enough, but thats my basic list of wants right now 🙂
@prezaurian Cool that you wanted to be a vet also 😉
Hey, at least your using your degree 🙂 Thats a plus there !
When people I work with find out I have a degree, they are like why are you working here? I say because my degree is pretty much useless to me now, plus I like where I currently work, and the money is good enough that I can actually get by on part-time hours if I had to 🙂 So Im happy overall…. just sad about all the years it took me to get ahead in life …. from years I couldnt get ahead or hardly function in life cause my student loans bogged me down for soooo long…. but thats behind me now, thank god ! 🙂
*hehehe* Mr Toad I say !
So I googled Mr Toad Wizard, and look what the first result was !
I WANT !!

Melody, you should paint more of these ? (Or did you ?)
Ok… I dont know a lot about the field your in, and I dont know anything about associates degrees… but I can offer you my 2 cents all the same !
Im in Canada, so take that into consideration, as things may be diff in the US.
I have my Bachelors degree in Science, BSc., majored in Biology (almost had a double major, but missed that by one course). I spent 4 years of my life in university, and a BIG chunk of change that took me a LONG time to get paid off. I did like going there (St Francis Xavier University, and yes, I got the “X” ring 😉 ) , and I LOVED the biology courses ! Yet, if I could do it over again Im not sure if I would go.
See, I didnt go on with my degree, I didnt further my education. I had initially planned on being a Veterinarian… but after doing on the job shadowing ( 40 hrs large animal and 40 hrs with a small animal vet) … well, I figured it may not be the field for me. There was too much pain and suffering involved….. its NOT like human medicine…. I could tell you stories.. but then I will be getting wayyy off topic.
So, anywho… I didnt go on with it, so to this day, I have a BSc and really, its kinda useless now, as its outdated. If I wanted to use it now, Id have to go back to university for a certain amount of time to update it and be refreshed in it all. I dont work in a field where a degree is even needed, and I currently love my job and been there for 16 years now, so Im planning on being here forever, hopefully, lol !
And I know MANY others who also went and got their degrees, but never used them for anything…a lot of people end up regretting spending thousands and thousands on a degree, when they end up with a job where all they really needed was a trade or a course taught at a local community college. Something they could get in 2 years, instead of 4, and with a lot less money spent.
I guess my main point is, life is too short. Why get into major debt, that will take years and years to pay off, and make it impossible to get ahead in life (cant afford a house or a nice place to rent), for a long time. I always tell anyone that asks me about education, to not go getting a degree unless your truly sure your going to use it and go on with it. I recommend people to go smaller and work their way up, like you said, getting your associates degree in 2 years, and then getting paid more that much sooner. Then when you get more established in life, and maybe have debts paid off (tuition fees) , then think about going for your degree if thats what you still want.
Im in no way against people who get their degrees though ! Dont get me wrong ! I think its wonderful, the people who do go get their degrees, and do something with them 🙂 Makes me jealous actually, lol ! If a person is sure they want the degree and that they can infact use it to get ahead in their field of work, go for it ! And to the people who can also afford it, thats awesome as well 🙂 I think education is a wonderful thing 😀 (I just dont think it should be so expensive… but thats another topic, lol !)
I just tell people to be careful, and dont go getting a degree just because you think it MAY help you. If your sure its what you want, then of course, go for it !! But personally, like Kim said previously I think, maybe get your associates degree first, and go from there 😉
Either way, do what you think is best ! And yes, talk to your program director and get his advice as well. Good luck ! Its a tough decision, I know !
I love the Frog Wizard also, with the leopard like pattern. But I think the colors look natural on him, rather instead of leopard, he looks like a Toad ! Mr Toad the Wizard ! Man, wish I could afford him !
I like the bat to, but I think I want to get him in black… someday… 😛
Wow, there have been some amazing ones show up so far ! Some of them may have been a few that I had marked as my favs., but I cant be certain.
Guess I wont know if I want to trade for another or not until mine shows up 😉 Hopefully by friday ! I tracked him, and he is getting close !
Here is what my Tigger looked like, Id love to get one close to his markings. You cant tell in this shot, but his feet and his chest were also white. I dont think any were done with a patch of white on the back of the neck, so guess none will match him perfectly though, which is ok. I may love what I get, even if it doesnt resemble Tigger, I will just have to wait and see if it speaks to me.
