I mostly lurk here, but happened to see this post and wanted to share my sympathies also. With big organizations you never really know or can predict where the decisions come from or where they’re going to fall, and the US government is basically one of the largest companies in the world. My brother got out of the Army just about a year ago and is making the transition — I have other family members who have also transitioned out. The good side of it is that your training will transfer, and often into fields that give an extra boost to ex-military. My brother (specializes in languages and mechanic) is looking now at going into Homeland Security. They maintain large fleets of vehicles and seem to be consistently hiring mechanics. Best of luck to you, and with your diligence and qualifications I’m sure you’ll find something new quickly. FWIW when my niece’s husband left the Navy some years ago he found he liked working private military contracting much better.
I know, right? I bid on it earlier this afternoon, actually just intending to drive the price up a bit so the charity $$ would be more, and was shocked when I got home and had won it. Can’t wait to see in person… :X

Melody is also painting up some griffins inspired by Wyandotte chickens.
I love you guys, but my wallet hates you. 😉
Thank you for the sneak peeks! It’s wonderful to see what’s new at Windstone!
So this. I just saw the Savannah pair. I think these are my favorite yet. And I was itching to see production versions of the bengals!
Now I wail with anguish because I’m sure the Savannahs will go for a zillion dollars on ebay…
Hey all,
If any of you have a hatching emperor dragon you’d like to sell, hit me up! 🙂
I’m looking for one in almost any color – with special preference for peacock or brown.
Thank you!

Hello, Skylover! Thanks for the welcome, and yeah, I am relieved to have not missed out on spotted females and babies, at least. 😉 It’s funny — I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to make a griffin “family” with my pearl guy, a black female, and black & white babies…
2Huberts, I’m ‘gryphoness’ on twitter, too. 🙂

I feel kind of deprived not to have known about this forum earlier, but I keep track of so many dang sites on the internet (facebook, livejournal, twitter, flickr, ravelry, mailing lists, on and on and on) that I just can’t remember to check up on everything all the time.
Is there a Windstone blog or newsfeed? I totally had no idea about the new spotted griffin and am absolutely coveting it to an excessive and unhealthy degree.
Holy cow you all are a friendly group. I’ve never gotten a custom welcome thread before. Thanks!! 🙂 <3
I found the board via the new twitter page, and I can’t remember how I found that. But I’m here. 😉
I have stared at Windstones in store windows for too many years to contemplate (is Wicks & Sticks even still around?), so I’ve seen all of the original ones — but my collection is very small, being two male griffins, a white pearl and a black with metallic sunset wings. As you might guess from my nick I’m partial to the griffins especially, but I love the dragons, too, and anything coming out of an egg. If I was going to buy a new one right away it would be either a female griffin (I was ecstatic when they fist came out) or a poad.
So, hello!
