Are the kingfisher griffins on hold, or still planned for someday? (I’m hoping for a ‘someday’ for once, since I already had to pass on the buckskin gothics (twice) and some time to recoup and save up would be nice, but I really hope kingfisher-esque griffins make it to production!
Also squeaking for Kingfisher griffins.
He’s one of my favorite griffins ever.
Also squeaking for white moon and sun dragons, silver orientals and black gold orientals. 😀 They’d look great with that firey belly and blue eyes against a black dragon 😀
I want someone to buy me a peacock SK, please????
LOL all this serious talk and you come in here wishing for SK 😛 <3 Okay so, Mr/Ms. Billionaire reading this post, I'd like a Blue Morpho one please 😉
After a few months worth of tests I got the answer of complex hyperplasia with focal atypia today. More than a touch terrifying, I go to see the Oncologist at the end of the month to figure out what manner of hysterectomy I’ll be having. After loosing my Mother in Law and then my Mom to cancer over the last four years the word Oncologist scares the crap out of me.
I’m so sorry to hear this 🙁 I work at an out patient cancer center, so if you want someone to talk to, I’m always glad to lend an ear and share what I do know
While I have enough hobbies at home that I don’t get bored much, I’ve been kinda lonely and wishing I was better at making friends. Seems like each of the few I had either moved away or just kinda faded away, not wanting to get together anymore, always being too “busy,” leading me to give up. I’m not ALONE, since I have my husband. But it’d be nice to have another friend or 2, maybe someone that shares the interests of mine that my husband doesn’t, or just someone I can laugh and have fun with. When I remember fun times I had with friends in the past (I never had a lot but at least had a couple good ones), I realize how little fun and laughing like that I experience nowadays. It’s kinda sad.
There’s a girl I work with that I’m thinking about trying to become more than work-friends with but am not really sure how to go about it. I’ll probably ask if she wants to come over and watch Lord of the Rings with me sometime since I know we both like that (we both like a number of nerdy and geeky thinks actually). But I can’t help worrying it won’t go well or that she’ll feel obligated to be nice but won’t really want to hang out. She’s also super busy between work and going to vet tech school and trying to spend time with her husband I’m sure. But I guess one of these days I just need to get up the guts to ask. She may be leaving when she finishes vet school, as she’s talked about trying for an internship in Hawaii.
Part of me doesn’t want to try to make friends anymore since I become disappointed when friendships don’t last. But I don’t want to always be friend-less. It kinda sucks!
No one wants to be alone or friendless! We are meant to be social. I found I was isolating myself when I dated my ex and lost a lot of friends that ended up getting married and moving away and I didn’t try and keep in touch with them when I should have. I have most of them on facebook but didn’t talk to anyone for a long time which got lonely. When I broke up with my now ex, I realized I didn’t have anyone to hang out with. We even tried to be friends because we realized that but it was hard. It wasn’t until I got away from that, I started putting myself out there and attending ballroom and latin dances where I met people as well as choir, church groups, hiking groups, meetup groups, etc. The more people I met, the easier it was to talk to other girls and start suggesting things to do for fun. I made friends with some girls and we now do board game and movie nights, pot lucks, go rollerskating, hiking, dancing, rafting and play sports in bigger groups. I would suggest looking up meetup.com for your area or trying groups like I mentioned where other people want to meet you! If you do talk to someone you want to get to know more like you mentioned above, then definitely suggest events or things you can go to together. You don’t have to make friends with people for life but sometimes just in the short term it’s nice to know others with similar interests who could use a friend too.
THIS!…what I have to say is pretty contradictory but…learn to love it! 😛 Kim, I was in a similar boat to you. My ex was so possessive and jealous he wouldn’t let me go out with my friends. I did have male and female friends but the male friends I had long before I met him. So-it’s like, if I was interested, I’d have dated them. *We’re just friends*. When we broke up after 4 years, I was so lonely, I’d call/text anyone in town I knew to hang out so I could stay distracted. That was 3 years ago.
Now I’m in the same boat as phantomess. I was in school and working full time for the last 18 months and had *NO* life. My days started at 5:30AM and ended at 10PM. I usually didn’t want to go out and be social after a long day at work and then night school-so I was always turning down invitations-even when they were few and far between. Now I’m so terribly lonely. I do have some friends, but two of them live an hour away, one of those hour-friends has a family and a job, and a friend that lives near by has a family and job. He does make time for me but I need maybe 2 other chicks I can text and be like “HEY lets go do something crazy!” once in a while. Kim, I wish you lived in Houston 😛 I’d be trying to tag along with you. I can easily talk to people, but I must be a dude trapped in a chick’s body because I find it more difficult to strike up a conversation with a girl than a guy. There’s a lady I work with who is 13 years older than me. She’s cool and we’re similar enough but at the end of the day, she’s my co-worker and I’ve known her 3 months. There’s still a part of me that’s worried she may hear/see something about me off the clock she doesn’t like and go to our boss. I don’t have any social hobbies (besides Windstones and newly picking up collecting Grand Champion horses), I don’t go to a gym, I’m not religious to care to go to church, I don’t play Halo/Call of Duty/popular video games on relevant game systems. I don’t know where I can go to try and meet people. But really, the last few days, it’s weighed heavily on my mind and heart. I need some chick friends at a similar mind set/life stage as me. That’s my whine 🙁
lol too funny that she censored it. I’ve read the series and watched the anime and don’t remember any nudity.
Hey, miracles DO happen!

Also, Paypal account is easy to set up. And really, if you don’t want to put your bank info in there, you don’t have to.
And seconded to what Katayna said…if someone sends you an invoice, I don’t THINK you need an account to pay it. You’ll just enter your card info and name, address etc on there. But it is a useful thing to have. I’ve been using them since the 90’s and as far as security-never had a problem.
It appears i have won the Brown Hawk #3 griffon. I thought he would have gone for way more.
I thought he ended at 9PM local time and he ended at 8…and it was the ONE day I had to work late 🙁 If you ever want to re-home him, I’ll offer you more than he went for!
Ah yes, there was a run of Silver sparkle fat and lady cats. I think the cougar wears that color well. SO SHINY 😀
‘Forests of the Night’ Foo Dog Family
This family was painted for a commission from LindaS. I was delighted and honored to get a chance to paint a whole matching family of Foos! They were an interesting and enjoyable challenge. And I was happy to finally get the chance to paint a Foop! They are SO much cuter in person! The store picture just doesn’t do them justice.
Really late to the discussion but I *LOVE*LOVELOVE your Forests of the night family! I love how their stripes contrast against their orange legs, I love the bits of turquoise on them-they’re amazing!
Listing your collection is great, but putting an image to it is usually better. So here’s most of my collection. Except for my personal PYOs.
Main Collection
I love your VF lap dragon! Eventually, I want almost all the dragons in this color!
Congrats on the zebra by Jennifer Miller too! He’s very pretty.
Now that this has been shipped, I get to “cheat” and brag too.I finally found a print of Melody’s I don’t have and have never seen O.O
Some one else with a deep pocket found it too so it’s my most expensive print to date…but I was NOT about to lose this one! SO excited!🙁 I’m so sorry to hear that. Drag0nfeathers is really great at repairing Windstones and she fixed an Emperor who was missing a big chunk of his tail. If you get the money back on him, maybe you can put that towards repairs? Although IDK if repairs will cost more than a new one. I do hope you can get your money back.
That global shipping program is a double edged sword. Great for sellers, terrible for buyers.
Yes, I missed the amethyst adult oriental and was waiting for more 🙁 Would love to see a sun and moon in that color too!
that cougar sculpt is lovely, so I am down for whatever they get painted as.
But with all these little baby kirins running about now, any chance of doing some production color parents? The shenanigans these little guys can get into… they need some parental supervision and my PYO kirin is just not cutting it, she is more like a teenager.
We are still having problems with the gold adult kirin horns.
We do have a supply of silver colored kirin horns, though, so maybe we can do some color of adults that goes with silver.WINTERWINTERWINTERWINTERWINTERWINTER!!!!!!!!………….WINTER!!! Some sort of silvery, white, aqua/turquoise thing.
So like, Christmas in July and cold and stuff? 😀
