: ( giggle ) I like it when you call me cutie...( snicker ) : That little carbide canon looks like more fun then the propane one. I bet it has a really loud bang. I like calcium carbide, it's a very interesting mineral. The gas it makes is smelly, it's called acetylene and it's used in welding torches. I have a brass carbide miner's lamp that uses lumps of calcium carbide and water to make a brilliant white light without batteries. I had a friend fill a weather balloon full of acetylene gas and Oxygen and when it he lit it, it knocked him out for two hours. He woke up in a ditch twenty-five feet away and he no longer had a mustache, beard, eyebrows, sideburns or hair. He went from hippy to Tibetan monk in one blow. Yay calcium carbide!

: I love the winter and Luminaire. It's a time to play for the little creatures.

: Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm a little upset that my lips aren't showing up correctly though. The lipgloss I chose is absent and I have enough Ooh La Layers to make them work...I don't know what's going on. Thank you for the nice compliment on the writing too, I'm glad it's over for now. I just need to go back now and get a marketable manuscript ready and get a literary agent to sell my books. That's the hard part. I love your outfit, it is so wintery and gorgeous.

Thanks for contributing to our giveaway!

Go to my trades i have some things for you. :)Lot Lot Lot

could you explain the donation shop for me? I haven't done that before. How does it work? I'm sure I'd love to participate, I often do. lol... I just don't know what I'm participating in... giggle.

You ROCK!!!

Lot and Lot all I need is a Lair-bear Hug.

here's one of the smaller ones.

another shot, and my fauourite

- oh my gosh the third photo is adorabubble ^w^

Yeah, I got stupid close to snap that one on my phone. Even though it was probably only a couple of years old, it was still a good 300 pounds of hungry with 3 inch long claws. It was a super hot day in August, and the bear had gone sound asleep in the pond at the bottom of a little waterfall feature in my yard.

Man, that was risky! Great shot though.

pants and falls over It took most of the day but I completely updated my beanbag and plushie wishlist. Now I can buckle down and start working on them.

Nice picture.

I would be glad to explain. Every luminaire the lairbears gather food to give to the donation shop for other subetans to enjoy for their holiday feast. Anything you would see on your table for Christmas dinner, lunch, breakfast (however you celebrate) is greatly appreciated. Some days I may ask for certain themed items, such as cookies, condiments, main dishes, peppermint things, etc. However any donation is always appreciated. On the 24th (I will announce the time as we get closer) all items we have collected will be put into the donation shop for anyone who is hungry to enjoy. You can take a peek at the things we have collected so far by looking at my shop "lairbears luminaire donation shop" (http://subeta.net/myshop.php?shopid=286266)

If anyone wants to donate, just set up a trade and let me know to come pick it up rather than just sending things over. This way I can make sure my inventory is clear. I will be on at least once a day cause I work crazy hours.

Thank you. That sounds fun. I will look for some fun things.

Thank you Anonymous for the pie. YUM!
