Congrats on the beginnings of a collection.
To answer your question…I don’t know. Hopefully someone has some experience with that particular product.
It’s a gorgeous piece! Congrats on finishing it and getting the prints ordered. Next time, you’ll know better on the price. Get some sleep–you’ll feel better after you’ve rested (maybe not perfect, but better).
Excellent shading in your drawings, and I love your photos! I particularly like the Christmassy garland with the light and stained glass.
They are so beautiful! I LOVE both the Mother Ki-Rin and the Male Dragon. Something like the Ki-Rin’s color with the pattern/layout of the Male would be stunning as an LP or Production! I’d be all on it!
Oh I thought these were “Black Ice” -Too many names!
I really like these. So, that is a definite “Maybe”Yay! I think this color is exceptionally beautiful, myself.
When my dad had cancer the doctor he had was an idiot . Giving him expensive drugs that were not helping . He lived 5 years with one lung . My mom nearly died because a drug company person wanted a drug pushed . If they hadn’t taken it off her she would have died in two days . She was the one who overheard the drug rep telling her doctor to push the drug .
I think there are good caring doctors around . But the bad ones just make everything worse for them .Everyone seems to know how bad their doctors are, but none of them ever have a medical degree to be able to evaluate their doctor with any authority. No, doctors should not push drugs. But most don’t, even the ones accused of it. Did your mother KNOW that the person “pushing” the drug to the doctor was a “rep?” Perhaps it was another doctor recommending the drug because of her symptoms. Do you, or your mother, absolutely KNOW that she would have been dead in 2 days had she continued the drug? I don’t think anyone can predict that, with or without a medical license.
Your father lived for 5 years with one lung. Do you know how long he might have lived without the drugs? We can’t know by just one person’s experience. That is why they do clinical research and trials.
And, yes, the drugs are expensive. It is the price we pay to have the most innovative drug and treatment options in the world. You can get basic treatments for less, but they don’t help as often. You can get fancy treatments in other countries for less, but they aren’t the ones discovering breakthrough drugs and devices, and their doctors are often trained here.
You may not have meant to be offensive, but your blanket statements were offensive. You may have had bad experiences, but your bad experiences don’t account for the thousands upon thousands of medical workers making a difference in peoples’ lives.
I bet that 99.9% of doctors and nurses would treat patients for free if they didn’t have their own bills to pay and pretties (like Windstones) that they’d like to have, too.
I also bet that 95% of those doctors that people call idiots, aren’t idiots, but rather the victims of outcomes that they can’t control. People get sick, and even die, and no doctor can do anything about it. Sometimes, the suffering and death is simply unavoidable. We’re all mortal.
Wolfen, if he’s treating you like this now, and he’s only a boyfriend, things are only going to get worse! Get out of there while you still can! Please! I hate to sound like a pessimist, but no amount of talking things out is going to fix what kind of a person he is. Please don’t let him take up any more of your life. Move back in with your folks if you have to, but don’t live with him. I’ve known way too many women who end up with awful men and get themselves into a position where they can’t leave. Don’t let this happen to you!
And as an added perspective: When my parents got divorced my mom actually let my dad come back home (because she is too nice for her own good) and he told her she could pay everything because he was “just a guest” in our home. That sounds way too similar to him calling you a roommate to me. RED FLAGS!
This! Wolfen, you’re relationship sounds abusive on his part. He’s crippling you so you can’t leave, and he’s saying things that will make you feel emotionally worthless so, even if you could afford to leave, you will feel as though you don’t deserve better. If you are, in fact, his girlfriend, he would not be asking you to sacrifice yourself for him. While you might be willing to do it, it’s a trust no true love would ever violate.
Currently, I make quite a bit more than my boyfriend, and we live together. We split the rent, but I take on other expenses so that he can afford some luxuries, too. We are in agreement that if his financial situation changes (or mine does), things will be adjusted accordingly. Do I wish I had more disposable income? Yeah, but my relationship is more important.
Bodine, I’m really sorry to hear about your friend suffering. It sounds like just about everything that can be wrong, is going wrong for her. With as many issues as she’s having, it’s not unreasonable to suspect a fungal infection, since it seems like her immune system is crashing. Otherwise, fungal infections are pretty rare. Also, I’m not sure where she’s located, but it sounds like it might be time to seek another general doctor. Hopefully the infectious disease specialist can help, though.
By the way, I understand the frustration of being in no position to help. My sister is almost always in the position to need help. I can no longer afford to do so because it never seems to actually help, and I can’t justify spending so much time and money trying to help. Not to say that you’re friend doesn’t deserve it, but don’t forget to care for yourself exclusively once in a while. It’s important for your health.
Ah, I talked to hubby at lunch. He said he was just upset they didn’t come out right, and when I come home and make the new batch, could he please watch so he can learn to do them right in case this happens again? Okay…so…deep breath, and sigh, now.
Aww. What a sweetheart. Frustrating, yes, but the best outcome is that he’s willing to learn from you and his mistakes. It really is the thought that counts. If I was you, I’d send your dad the new batch and give your hubby credit for helping.
Rod is trying to portray me as an unfit parent… *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Most judges are smart enough to figure these things out. Just show that you aren’t. Quite frankly, beyond that, I’d suggest using this to show that HE’S the one who’s unfit. After all, someone who’s that manipulative has no business teaching his poor character to the next generation. I hope your boyohs are doing ok in all this.
It is appropriate as it will be a Valentine gift for my lovely wife who is the collector of Unicorns, and especially loves the Ki-Rins.
So Happy Valentines Day my Love, even if a bit late.Awwww. Congrats!!
