As someone who has never seen or played any pokemon games, I find this thread amusing to read. I know all the individual words but the sentences make no sense, lol! Anyway, sounds like you have fun.
I debated even posting here because my story isn’t ending well, but maybe it can be used as a cautionary tale. I couldn’t decide what to do after I got my AA; originally I thought Chemistry but found I didn’t like it. Did some work in the then-new field of laser discs (precursor of DVD) and, at 2 am in a tiny lab in California, played the very first CD, under very tight security. Laser discs didn’t fly (eventually DVDs came out and they produced much better quality video.) Got laid off when the plant closed and, after a year on unemployment, I was forced to take an entry level position with a food company just to make ends meet. Inertia kept me there; I finished my college degrees at night in interesting fields (Anthropology and Geology) but never left the food company…Now I am old, disabled, and still working part time at the same food company (the name has changed numerous times, but I stayed with them). I work from home and my world has gotten very small…’
Please! Do what you love and don’t let a paycheck hold you. I stayed in one place for the paycheck and I sincerely regret it now. Take chances. You remember the choices you didn’t make and it is sad. Good Luck with whatever you do.I have a reasonable Windstone collection that I love, both production and OOAK, but I bought on credit and am probably going to lose them to the Bankruptcy court. I will not be able to buy any more. So take the good advice already tendered in this thread and spend wisely.
Welcome to Windstone Editions. Foxes ARE beautiful – check the store, there are other foxes in the Pebble Animals Category. And the addict takes her/his first fix….
I would kick-start the heck out of that, so would my mother. Why was it stalled?
Lack of time to organize a Kickstarter campaign.
Surely we have some elite organizers that would help Windstone out? I’m hopeless at getting things done myself, but anyone out there willing and available? Just checking….
This starts rather badly but I promise there is a “Heck Yeah” at the end…
My sister lives in Deweyville, Tx, and was told about two weeks ago that a flood was coming. At first, she planned to ride it out in her second story bedroom (her family did just that in the big flood of 1989). Her family (kids and grown grandkids) talked her out of staying but she left her two young cats behind with food and water and an open window so they could get out onto the roof of the first story. She and her 72 yr old husband evaluated a week ago last Saturday…and then she heard how much worse this flood was going to be than the ’89 flood. A team went in to try to retrieve the cats but couldn’t catch them and had to leave them. As the waters continued to rise, the authorities would not let anyone go into Deweyville at all. My sister (who is not online at all) got her news from the TV and it was all bad. Last Tuesday she got a message from her stepson who had friends in the area that the water level was eyelevel deep in her second story. We cried; the water was still rising (it crested Tuesday night at ~34.5 ft above floodlevel).
Yesterday they let her back in to check on the house. She went upstairs and her cats were nowhere to be seen. Twenty minutes later, she heard a timid meow and Simba, her orange cat was suddenly there (cat owners know what I’m talking about – they can hide in plain sight). It took a few minutes longer to find Nala, still hiding on the top shelf in the closet. They were hungry, thirsty and had filled the litter box and some but they weed alive and well. Alice’s house is still destroyed but it was definitely a “Heck Yah!” moment.
