The bladder in my wine skin burst, does -anyone- know where I can get a replacement for cheap? Google has failed me on even the replacement part.

Alrighty all you folks in internet land who like us:

We're looking for a room mate. We live in the Rome/Cartersville (Kingston) area of GA
Rent'd be $400, including Water, Electricity, TV and Internet (you're on your own with the phone)
If we can't find a room mate we are going to lose the house :/.
The bedroom offered is fully furnished right now with a bed and dressers and a table (though we'll have to move some boxes out for you) or we can take all that stuff out so you can put your things in.

Making known that live journal Icons are for sale for $5.
You get both the larger piece, and the icon at an appropriate size for use, for this price.
payment through PayPal, or special arrangement

aand heres examples of my work:

Exercise bike

rice cooker

electric kettle

..cow.. deer..other misc meat products..

musetek a3 scanner

larger wacom tablet to save hand


most of my wish lists have to do with things of idle enjoyment, I thought I'd put up a list of things I actually need for once, if nothing else this helps my failing memory when I go to buy stuff, so I get these things first, instead of the books and crafting and costume items

Please clickie my dragons sos they'll hatch and live? Its just a fun little game but I might do some arts of them if they live and stuff.

   
One of my favorite memories is receiving the first season of highlander for Christmas, it was all I had asked for that holiday season, and I was so excited to get it. I find now that one can get the entire collection for the same price as just one season; the difference between vhs and dvd I guess, and they don't offer the neat incentives anymore.

I already have the first few seasons on VHS... about half the collection, but I'd still dearly like to have this. I may try to save up any Christmas money I get to purchase it.

And try to ignore the other memories of that particular Christmas, and enjoy this one.



I feel the need to say: I love you mommy, thank you for many good memories.

I dig giant robots
Proof:

visited 26 states (52%)

Because I needed something to do this morning to keep me awake while I waited for the appointed time to wake up my hubby.. A list!



      Size: medium, Price $10. For putting corked test tubes and boiling flasks in.

$3 - $6 (obviously the $3 ones would work better with the belt)

  $20 (22 inches)  Desire to have before fair season next year.

$39 No idea what size, but I have large hands (Not  completely necessary for costuming, but nicer than the rubber gloves)

       ..Needs this book. Needs it. $31


Possible editing of the entry as I find things.

if people are looking at this entry trying to figure out something to get me, because I hear complaints about never knowing what to get me:
I am looking for a nice tea set. I always enjoy teas, also.
I always like gift cards to barnes and noble
I always like gift cards to build-a-bear
I always like gift cards to Sock Dreams

My latest pieces of art involve the use of my camera, and to a greater or lessor extent, photoshop. Comments, critiques, and opinions are very wanted and encouraged.

EDIT:

hm. people are saying the information in the article is from a bill two years ago- and it was dismissed,  and the reason theres concern about it -now- is there was a recent congressional hearing that might lead to more of the same, but only  -might-

I don't know why it is that when I hit these early hours of the morning on a sleepless night that I take to posting on my journal..
I suppose that after spending so much time in introspection I want to get whatever subject I've been thinking of down, and set it out for discussion.

Tonights topic for my thoughts: religion.

Not a comfortable topic for me, generally speaking. I'll bet none of you know I'm terribly devout, well my mother might know about it (hi mom).

That being the case, it struck me, of a sudden, that it was very odd that I am so uncomfortable talking about it, or seeing others talk about it. So, me being me I decided to analyze my reactions untill I could come up with a reasonable explanation for this avoidance behavoir, and I finally did muddle my way through it:

I view religion as being an intensely private thing between someone and their god.

Thats pretty much it. It embarrasses me in the same way that someone talking about bedroom details would. Its beyond me why someone would act that way, would constantly publicly use their chosen deity's name, and blaim stuff on him/her. And that doesn't even get into doing obnoxious things in their name, or twisting holy writ to suite ones own purposes.

I suppose its because I took that 'do not cry out your piety on the street corner' thing to heart.. it seems to me like its bragging, like whoever it is is standing there going 'look at me, I'm so much more holy and devout than you' and at the same time insisting that whoever it is is lesser because they arent doing the exact same thing...

its ridiculous,  but then they probably think the same thing about me

anyhow, thus ends my thoughts for the evening, feel free to leave feed back- I encourage discussion but not flames

Happy birthday mommy

I think I want to start trying to write again, with the art no longer able to satisfy my need to paint imagery. So! I am going to make a filter, if you want to see my fiction attempts  and critique, comment on, or poke at my spelling and grammar errors reply to this post for me
