I got one. This is the first grab bag thing I’ve bought. I can’t wait to see which one I’ll receive!
Ditto. I dunno why I got one, other than they’re so CUTE! Haven’t even unpacked my collection from my move back in August.

Ditto again. First one I’ve bought but they just get looked at and packed away. I deploy in January and pcs soon after I return so displaying them is kinda pointless. I’m looking forward to seeing what I got, though:)
I’m Sorry for your loss, Nam. I just came on to say hello and tell you how awesome that zebra uni looked and saw the sad news:(
Ski! We miss you. How are things?
Doing good! (now). I was really busy with work… had zero time for myself or family, and after a few months it put me into a little depression. I am taking meds and seeing a counselor, now, plus I have an easier job, so things are better and I have more time to browse the forums again:) How are you? Its been forever, it seems!

Awww Wolfen, I am so sorry. I hope that everything works out. I don’t really have any great advice regarding the kids because he is so young… the brain isn’t even done developing until sometimes as late as 23, so he may still be going thru some changes. I truly hope you two work this out.
I might be able to help with the depression thing… I am currently being seen for depression (i’m 34). I’ve been dealing with it for a while, but only recently felt like I couldn’t handle it myself anymore. I feel embarrassed and weak, and to top it all off, every time I talk to the counselor, I start crying and have no idea why. I am also on pills. What he told me is that this is only temporary. You are obviously not a perpetually sad person and sometimes it may just take some help… a combo of pills and counseling… to get thru it. My counselor does have a lot of advice and has a good way of seeing things that seems to be helping. I’ve only been seeing him a couple times, but that, along with the meds, and I already feel better. I think a couple more months and I will be back to my old self. I hope that you do not feel bad or embarrassed by needing help. LOTS of people need help, which is why counselors stay in business 😉 I know it may feel embarrassing or you feel weak, or, like in my case, feel like you should be stronger than that, given all you have been thru, but just know that it is temporary. You are depressed… NOT a depressed person, and there is a difference. Don’t take on the depressed person persona and let your meds/counseling help. I really hope you feel better soon and I hope you and your man work this out.
I’ll be staying in Casper. Its only for one day… a quick drop off and turn around. I’ve never been there, so its cool that I will get to see the place a little. I think there is a mall next to my hotel, too, which is nice, since I love to shop!! lol
How weird that this topic came up!! I was just wondering this myself. Im off to Wyoming this weekend and thought I might be close enough to drive down, but alas, such is not the case. It would be an 18 hr drive. I will make it there someday!!!
Kujacker, That movie is a great recommendation. (King Corn was ok, too, and The World According to Monsanto was ok, if a little long and drawn out.)
I watched it while I was in Iraq and it changed the way I ate entirely. I now buy most of my food and all my meat from the Whole Foods Market. I stay away from genetically modified anything, and if I dont know what an ingredient is, I usually dont but the item. I stay away from milk, cheese, and anything that uses the Bovine Growth Hormone… yes, they say there is no difference in the product, but they fail to mention the problems the cows go thru because of the hormone-like foot and udder infections. I also planted my own garden with GMO free seeds, and sometimes, things actually grow in it. 🙂 Because of this movie and the changes I have made, I have lost 13 lbs and feel better about the way I eat and the people I support with my purchases. Great post!
* Just a little interesting tidbit of information- I have done a lot of traveling and during one of my overseas stints we got to talking about smells associated with locals… in Korea, people smell like kimchee, in Germany, they smell like sausage, etc etc… well, they said that Americans smelled like fast food. Yuk.
Can I see a pic of the nyalah griffin? There was one that I wanted badly but could not afford at the time. I would like to see if this is the one. Thanks!
