LOL toffee, sponge toffee my dear
It’s basically a kind of air-expanded toffee. Here’s a photo of what it looks like:

It has all those holes in it so it really looks like a sponge but it’s very edible and sweet, like toffee ^_^
Some chocolate bars have sponge toffee inside them.

Here’s two pictures of the conure in question:

I hope LightningStorm5 doesn’t mind but i was randomly googling variations of Windstone and came up with this link:

and then this link

with this description!
“So I’ve seen the “paint your own” line of Windstone Creations and I wanted to try my hand at one. This is the first one I’ve done and I can honestly say it won’t be the last. This was really fun to do even though it took me almost 4 days to complete. The bird part is modeled after a Patagonian Conure. The cat part..well I guess that would be somewhat of a snow leopard though probably not exact.”
Neato, eh? ^_^
Man, every year i am almost more excited about what i’m giving people than what i’m getting! LOL

– Green laser pointer (which i didn’t pay a hundred bucks or more for *smirk*)
– Nice blue t-shirt of the Avro Arrow (his favourite plane) from the Canadian Aviation Museum
– Dutch french fry “mayonaise” (it’s not like normal mayonaise, they just call it that… i think it’s gross LOL But it’s a Dutch thing!)
– As many variety of nuts as my brother and i could find (peanuts, pecans, walnuts, bbq peanuts, sea salt’n’pepper peanuts, almonds…) LOL
– CDsFor my mum:
– about 6 different pill boxes (she collects them, makes sense cos she’s a pharmacist LOL)
– Sponge toffee (both huge and little packages)
– Mechanical pencils (she asked for them! LOL)
– a ton of CDs
– a calender of one-a-day Siduko (or however you spell it)For my brother:
– Clothing (hoodies, pants, sweaters) that he actually really likes, i am good :> Actually the black hoodie i got him is really neat, it has black on black embroidery of an eagle and an lion in a medieval kind of style ^_^
– An electronic Siduko (sp?) handheld game LOL
– puzzle games (like an intertwined 5 piece ring)
Plus some stuff i am saving for his birthday which is on New Year’s Eve heh hehNirvanacat13 wrote:Sun, I really enjoy and appreciate your thoughts on sensitive topics. You are very well spoken and obviously really think about what you are saying so as to offend as few people as possible. I tend to stay out of discussions like this because the facts I try to present tend to get swallowed by the emotion that goes with it, or that I just don’t have the energy to sit down and think out a response that doesn’t make me sound like a jerk.
Thank you kindly, deary! ^_^ I do try my best to word my opinions as carefully as I can, especially when it’s a topic that is very emotionally-charged/emotionally-invested ^_^
I can definitely appreciate how some topics are very difficult to seperate the emotions they make you feel from the abstract/theorectical side and i think it’s very smart to be aware of when you aren’t able to do that to the point that it would hinder your ability to communicate to your liking. Sometimes it’s good to be passionate about certain topics, it can lend a certain kind of eloquence to one’s posts. But, as you say, it can be a fine line between passionate and blowing off steam heh heh.
Being patient with yourself and being willing to sit and analytically consider your own words does help with the process. Many people are in such a big rush to respond online that sometimes they don’t even really look at what they just wrote 😉
