I can breed Yulebucks or Snow angels too =)
I caught my first CB Silver!! now I need to try and trade it for my first CB GOld [not a fan of the silvers, so i’d rather have a CB gold over a silver]
Wish I had a CB gold for you. I love the silvers.
I agree with Kiya, Rusti, and fatalbeauty. I know exactly where meat comes from–I grew up on a farm and hunted, as well. I appreciate that some people wish to be vegetarian or vegan. I do not, and I don’t appreciate the “conversion” attempts, however.
Oh wow! More beautiful pieces. I’m so impressed with everyone’s talent. I love the swap! Are we missing any more?
Some stuff of interest:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Chiari-Malformation/Nerve-pain/show/1769291Of course, all of these things are also symptoms of meningitis or other spine-related problems.
What is that? Would it have shown on an MRI?
Essentially, the bones at the base of your skull are malformed, or broken. That allows the brain stem to sit lower than it should. It can disrupt spinal fluid flow, cause headaches, neck pain, clumsiness, and other general symptoms. However, in some cases, people with Chiari malformations can suddenly get symptoms after head trauma. Some experience nerve pain in the arms and legs, some experience seizures. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/chiari/detail_chiari.htm
They SHOULD catch it on an MRI, but often they don’t. My mom had CT scans done several times over the years, but they didn’t catch her Chiari Malformation until she was in her 50’s. It explains a lot of things for her, including migraines, TMJ, and clumsiness (possibly even depression). Now, I’m not saying that this is your problem, but it’s one that’s easy enough to diagnose and is often missed. Don’t get your hopes up too high–it’s just a suggestion.
Have them check for a Chiari Malformation. Your head trauma might have made something that is often not even diagnosed become a problem.
What barrdwing said. Negative results are not necessarily the answer. Something’s happening and it’s recent. You’re young, so it points away from certain diseases, but they shouldn’t be ruled out. I don’t remember if you’ve said you’ve had a spinal tap and some tests done on your cerebrospinal fluid, but if you haven’t, you should.
Mine has arrived from Kiya! I’ll get some pictures here in a bit, but I just wanted to make sure to post that she arrived. She’s a beautiful momma Foo in autumn colors named, appropriately, Autumn. This is the first time I’ve seen the Momma Foo in person–boy does she have a lot of detail. Excellent job, Kiya, and thank you!
Yay, I’m glad she got there safely and that you like her. 🙂 I’ve never painted a foo momma before (I don’t paint much, lol!) She was really intimidating. I also maybe was working 65 + hours at work and finished her up 4 days late… Sorry about that! (Yay priority mail!)
Also, sorry for the fancy outer box. It was the ONLY one I had that vaguely fit. I’ve been recycling my shipping boxes after my husband complained about them taking over the garage and discovered I had nothing to put her in! LOL
It was a comedy of errors this year I swear. 🙂
Haha! No worries. I can see how the Foo Mamma would be intimidating–lots of nooks and crannies and textures.
I had to laugh when I saw the box.
Here we go. These aren’t great pictures…too much coffee today and no natural light left…so if Kiya has some better photos, she might want to post them.
