Good to see you Kep! Big hugs and warm wishes that your business stabalizes at least a little bit! Lots of love and welcome back!
I do it for short periods of time… That and the distraction kind of mitigates the pain, like it gives my brain something else to think about other than the pain, rather than just laying in bed staring at a dark celing alone with the pain, if that makes sense….anyway back to the thread.
AWWWW I missed them!!! Oh well, can’t wait for the next batch to come out! 😛
Oh Dagnabbit missed these too!! I was in bed with a really bad head….well it’s still bad, but I can’t sleep anymore >.<
I’m a big video game person myself, mostly RPGs which usualy have more story, adventuring and puzzle solving and less stress than say Call of Duty, and they usualy have really pretty environments to play in, so I play those to relax. I also play World of Warcraft, but sometimes the player/player interaction is too much, so I turn to my PS2 or gameboy. I also find that multi-stimulus helps me when I get anxious too, basically making your brain focus on more than one thing so it doesn’t start thinking about what makes you anxious. Picking something, or a couple things that will take all your concentration, like for me movies are relaxing, and so is crosstitching and sketching, so I’ll pop a movie in that I don’t have to “watch” and work on my crosstitch, or put on some music and read. Anyway, hope that helps some. And don’t be afraid to try medication if it gets too bad, nothing says you have to be on it forever!

EXACTLY!!! Thanks for chiming in Ski! This is gonna be awesome! This poor girl though LoL I have a feeling she’s going to be put through the ringer!

I mean he’s blatantly advertising it as an authentic Windstone and it’s NOT. Isn’t that illegal?
Thanks. I was actually going to do that myself but kept chickening out 😳 . I’m pretty sure it’s not kosher to describe it as a real Windstone. It’s also possible the seller really doesn’t know it’s a fake and is making an honest mistake :scratch: . But who knows? I wonder how they will respond to you…I think you can only be sued if you put it up, you are told by an authority on the subject that it is fake and to take it down (ie John), but you persist and leave it up the way it is. Chances are she doesn’t really know it’s not a real Windstone, she probably Googled “Pena dragon” to get some info for her auction and saw it was a Windstone, if she doesn’t collect them how would she know it was fake? Look at some of the special OOAK pieces Melody has done in the past. And especialy since there are some of the older knock offs that really do look a lot like the real thing with the only difference being they are lighter and the edges look mushy and less defined (like this one). Once John (if you guys e-mailed this auction to him) sends her a message and tells her to take the auction down, then she has to take it down, there may be some things if she persists in keeping it up, like a written cease and desist order if it comes to that, but a nice letter from John should resolve the situation with this particular seller. I honestly don’t think this seller is trying to rip off Windstone, she may genuinely thing she has a real speccial piece there. Anyway, just trying to be the voice of reason before we all get our pitch forks!
Dragons4Life, sending her a nice informative message was probably the best thing too, you may want to write the seller back and give her John’s e-mail and tell them to contact him if they have any further questions about the piece. That way it’s out of our hands and into those of someone more capable, and if it comes down to it later in court for some reason, she can’t have the excuse “But I didn’t know!”. =P But again, I doubt it will come to that. ANyway, good on you for contacting her, I can’t wait to see what she says. (All this of course is assuming this a female seller 😳 )
You know, that’s a good question….I haven’t taken him out in so long I really don’t remember if he’s that dark…I couldn’t get a picture of his actual coloring, the flash washes him out so much, and we have pretty dim yellow lighting in the room he’s in, so I know neither of those pictures is an acurate representation of his true color.
and for anyone that may be confused by the Pew Pew thing, it’s kind of like a good luck mantra…It’s the pew pew sound that the guns/lasers make in Star Wars and was first used to “ward off” evil stuff, like that aunt that comes over at the holidays and has been pinching your cheek for the last 25 years, you scream “PEW PEW” at her and make laser fists like the kitty and then run away…well then it turned into a “good luck!” Like you’re giving them the laeser power to win…or some crap like that 😀
Awwww Leigha!! I’m so sorry! I watched it sit so low for the last couple days and was hoping people weren’t bidding on it so you could get it! =P Maybe it’ll show up, or Miss Melody will put up another one!
How do you manage to get dust on the underside of the top eyelid, but none on the top side of the lower eyelid??? That defies physics, kind of like the steak chef at the Outback we go to…I kid you not, I got a steak that was perfectly overdone and charred on the right side of the steak, and bloody rare on the left…not top and bottom, left and right halves…. 🙄 That my friends is tallent!
