Oh Kalandra, I’m so sorry for your loss…he was gorgious.
But you did the right thing. 🙁 Yes it will hurt for a while…I still miss Raven terribly and that was back in July this year.NicoleH wrote:Has anyone heard from BDW? She hasn’t posted on this thread since the 7th 😕 I hope everything’s all right
Hi Nicole and everyone, I’m sorry I haven’t posted. 😳
I’m still having problems with my internet provider.
It’s very complicated since we don’t have cable (living in the “bush” joys) and we get the internet from this independent guy that started his company in this town only a few years ago. Turns out his wife is very sick with cancer and he’s been spending more time taking care of her and supporting her instaid of giving his 100% to his company that is singlely handle by himself.
I understand him completely so I don’t call him everytime there is a problem.
The internet almost never works right now so I haven’t been on the forum and I’m spending more time trying to solve my mess-up problems at home with the appartment and landlady, work, son and so on. Michel has been really hard to handle lately. So needless to say I go to bed early each night and then go to work in the morning.
The fact that my ex has passed away also affected me even if I wasn’t close to him anymore…I won’t deny that.Anyway I will try my best to repost the eBay auctions. But I can’t promisse it will always work.
Thank you for your understanding. 🙂Thanks everyone.
I found out that it was what I thought that caused him to do this, it was due to him living beyong his means…
I tried during the first few years of our relationship to show him how to budget and to live with what was left but he didn’t stick to it more then a few weeks then went back to his old ways. He told me he couldn’t live on a tight budget and finaly told me to mind my own business. So I did. 🙁
There was noting to do since he didn’t want to admit to having a problem and get help. :shrug:kitsunelady wrote:It’s 5:30 in the morning, and there’s still 9 phoenixes left. o.o
I didn’t think there would be any left at this point.
NOOOOOOOOO! I need money! 😥
I always loved this guy and wish I could have purchased him. 🙁
Good luck on your sale. 🙂Lokie wrote:I’m thinking he copied and pasted that info on dragons. It’s definitely not his writing style. What does “that really right angry, wot wot me off” even mean?
Anyways, I’m glad you are getting a partial refund. That seller is a piece of work.
I’ll send you a private message on what he really typed since it can’t be shown here since it’s not for young eyes.
It’s the Forum fairy that changed the words to “that really right angry, wot wot me off”. 😉Looks wonderful antiqued! I always prefer when the piece is antiqued since it brings out all those wonderful details that Melody painstakingly sculpted in the scales. 🙂

They are really cute! 😀Thanks everyone!
Yeah Blackdesertwind they take about 2 weeks to make each dog. Needle felting takes a ton of time. The pins on the bright side I can make pretty fast, which is good because I made 15 for the rescue 🙂
Wow lots of hours!
I just saw a tutorial on youtube and yes it’s very time consuming! 😮
Je te leve mon chapeau :hi:skeeterdeee wrote:I don’t blame you for being mad at all!! He said some really rotten things!! 😮 Where he said, ” i cannot represent everything to such detail”, that’s a bunch of crap! If your going to sell to a person who can not physically HOLD the item before they pay for it, you HAVE to accurately describe it!
After you get your refund, make sure you leave appropriate feedback for that slimeball!! (I would wait for the refund first though)Good thing when I typed what he said the forum fairy changed the words so it wouldn’t sound to bad. 😆 And yes I’ll wait for the refund. 😉
Funny how he sais he can’t put all the details when in is auction right below the description, he supplies all the following info on dragons:
FYI
Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many cultures.
The two most familiar interpretations of dragons are European dragons, derived from various European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the unrelated Chinese dragon. The English word “dragon” derives from Greek δρ?κων (drákon), “dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake”, which probably comes from the verb δρακε?ν (drakeîn) “to see clearly”.
Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with no front legs is known as a wyvern. Following discovery of how pterosaurs walked on the ground, some dragons have been portrayed without front legs and using the wings as front legs pterosaur-fashion when on the ground.
Although dragons occur in many legends around the world, different cultures have varying stories about monsters that have been grouped together under the dragon label. Some dragons are said to breathe fire or to be poisonous. They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing typically scaly or feathered bodies. They are sometimes portrayed as having especially large eyes or watching treasure very diligently, a feature that is the origin of the word dragon (Greek drakeîn meaning “to see clearly”). Some myths portray them with a row of dorsal spines. European dragons are more often winged, while Chinese dragons resemble large snakes. Dragons can have a variable number of legs: none, two, four, or more when it comes to early European literature.
Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many Asian cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech. In some traditions dragons are said to have taught humans to talk.
The term dragoon, for infantry that moved around on horseback yet still fought as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the “dragon”, a wide-bore musket that spat flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical creature.
The word dragon derives from Greek δρακων, via Latin draco. It is attested in Middle English from the 13th century, in the context of medieval bestiaries and legends.
The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological, and this usage was also current in English up to the 18th century. Today the great komodo lizard Varanus komodoensis is also known in English as the Komodo dragon. The King James Bible uses the words “serpent”, “dragon” and “Devil” in a fairly interchangeable manner.
The association of the serpent with a monstrous opponent overcome by a heroic deity has its roots in the mythology of the Ancient Near East, including Canaanite (Hebrew, Ugaritic), Hittite and Mesopotamian. The Chaoskampf motif entered Greek mythology and ultimately Christian mythology, although the serpent motif may already be part of prehistoric Indo-European mythology as well, based on comparative evidence of Indic and Germanic material.
The “European dragon” (and its Near Eastern and Indic cognates) myth has quite different characteristics and origins from those of the Chinese dragon.
Dinosaur and mammalian fossils were occasionally mistaken for the bones of dragons and other mythological creature; for example, a discovery in 300 BC in Wucheng, Sichuan, China, was labeled as such by Chang Qu. Adrienne Mayor has written on the subject of fossils as the inspiration for myths in her book The First Fossil Hunters, and in an entry in the Encyclopedia of Geology she wrote: “Fossil remains generated a variety of geomyths speculating on the creatures’ identity and cause of their destruction. Many ancient cultures, from China and India to Greece, America, and Australia, told tales of dragons, monsters, and giant heroes to account for fossils of animals they had never seen alive.”In Australia, stories of such creatures may have referred to the land crocodiles, Quinkana sp., a terrestrial crocodile which grew from 5 to possibly 7 metres in length, or the 4 tonne monitor lizard Varanus priscus (formerly Megalania prisca) a giant, carnivorous goanna that might have grown to as long as 7 metres, and weighed up to 1,940 kilograms, or rainbow serpents (possibly Wonambi naracoortensis) that were part of the extinct megafauna of that continent.
In the book An Instinct for Dragons anthropologist David E. Jones suggests a hypothesis that humans just like monkeys have inherited instinctive reactions to snakes, large cats and birds of prey. Dragons have features that are combinations of these three. Our instinctive fear for these three would explain why dragons with similar features occur in stories from independent cultures on all continents. Other authors have suggested that especially under the influence of drugs or in dreams, this instinct may give raise to fantasies about dragons, snakes, spiders, etc., which would explain why these symbols are popular in drug culture. The traditional mainstream explanation to the folklore dragons does however not rely on human instinct, but on the assumption that fossil remains of dinosaurs gave rise to similar speculations all over the world.
