: I tend to be a literalist, so not to worry. I would love a new computer desk chair one of these days. Alas, I would need a computer desk and a computer. I wonder if they make iPad desks and iPad chairs (giggle) Yes I am in one of those silly moods ....again.

: I'm sorry you're so sick, but I'm glad to see your face, you make me smile Otter-boy. I'll make sure I add a lantern to your HA. Maybe I can attach it to your wheelchair.

: I'll fix it when I make changes tonight.

: Thank you for your encouragement, I'm going to try to make this story shorter than my other four novels. My origin story took four years to complete the first draft and came in at 250,000 words in three volumes (800 pages). I know I can write short form stories...I just need to push myself to do so.

: We are a cool group!

: I got the new HA image, I'll make changes this evening. Thank You!

: I like the names at the bottom too. I'll do my best to make sure everything is aligned.

: Do I have your HA image? Thank you for the compliment.

you still dont have that border? Gl!!!

No i had no clue I needed to have the obscene item on HA to get it.

I've had the obscene gestures on and still haven't gotten the border either. Got the 50 hexes achievement though.

Hopefully we get the border soon.

??what border is it? where do we look to see if we have it plz?

Heckin Hex You got hexed but at least you got this cool border?

Ronnie is low rider pittie and bassett, he rarely barks. My neighbor's dogs bark more in one day, then Ronnie has in 4 years. He always close by, and his asst chef in the kitchen. His in charge of eating things his allowed like tomatoes or cucumbers.

Ringo and Roxy were litter mates, gosh I miss their dynamics and quirky personalities. I had them since they were 4 months old, and watched them age gracefully into the old lady and old man. I hope one day to find an artist who would paint them in oil painting.

My allergies were so bad, I went to an allergist. First thing he told me, rinse my sinuses 3 times a day with neilmed which comes with it own squeeze bottle. Better than a neti pottie. If you havent been to an allergist I strongly recommended it, thats how i began to get my life back. I was getting migraines 4-6 per week. Plus told to stay away from aerosol cans, any form of smoke, get wrap around sun glasses helps with sun sensitivity which comes from allergies and keeps allergens away from eyes (MUST it helps), change bedding frequently and clothes if you have been working outside (because allergens stick to clothes, skin, hair, eye wear) and take complete shower. After yard work or being outside long time always rinse sinuses, allergens get inside the nose and sinuses. Plus get eye drops to moisturize your eyes, because allergy eyes are dry and sensitive. All info I got from my allergist.

I am glad to hear your allergies are much better than they were. And I shall have to try a few of the ways you mentioned and see if they help me out. I have tea bags and lots of sugar (I love sweet tea. Sometimes the sweeter, the better but that's just me lol), so can totally make some hot tea.

been hexed well and dont mind it but have not gotten the achvmnt wither :/

Geez do we need to a hex achievement dance or wear a sign hex me?

Oooh, congratulations on the new chair! What games do you like to play?

- thank you I forgot...I just added the collection of obscene gestures to my HA...I want that hex achievement / border too.

- hope your headache goes away soon...that can really take it out of you. Congrats on your new PC and chair...sounds like you are all set :)

Hopefully we get the border soon, I hate hexes but I like the border.

hey you <3 I'm not Frieda but I did this one based on a wardrobe save of yours because it reminded me of you

but this one will work too..

Anyways, I have an extra lantern, did you want it?

... I have turned one of gargys saved avatars into one for the group, and nikki, jenn, rowan, honeybunny, ramsey, marianne, ava, true, bcsam, hetty, and am working on a few others, didnt my mail send?

ahh gl to you too!!

You can go into Wardrobe, under personal and Cosmetics to see if you unlocked it without noticing the achievement pop up.

yep, another ping

Okay.. so, I have a few other bears I want to add and Im almost out of room. Luckily photoshop doesnt know that so I'll figure it out but drum roll please .. I like how this is looking

SPOILER (click to toggle)

OMG WAAAAIT! Im so close, Imma do this first! Lady Aflame has eaten 6997 different foods 3 to go and she is DONE with that horrid achievement!

YES!
Unlocked Gourmand!

Feed different unique foods to one pet! (7,000 in fact)

Sooooo.. I dont have you on my group project, where ya at? I have your spot reserved with no Judy, can't be having that ya know.

couple days back yall said you werent sure why you were pinged - it was because I didn't see your post and snooped in your saved public avatars and picked one that reminded me of you:
The ping was just to let you know what I was up to, but then yall posted yours and I switched 'em.

And, does anyone know about DaringSpirit? I saw something that gave me pause that made me think we may have lost her. I cant remember where I saw it so I can't recheck it and I really hope that's not the case

Sydney, Vi, Freddy.. I haven't had a lot of time to read posts, did I miss anything that I should know about this (or anything really)

Finally, and most importantly.. I have people who might not be in the lair now or havent said anything about the new group pic and that might confuse some who joined the lair after my world imploded several years ago. After much thought about if I really want to get into the uglyness and do I really think an explanation is necessary I figure I will tell you why with as few words as possible if I can.

These people are very important to me. Most joined the day the lair came to be which makes them the core, the very foundation the lair was built upon. The ones who are still here and those added who are no longer part of it have stuck with me through some of the darkest days of my life. There was a time when my heart and soul were so shattered there most days I could not breathe. Hell there were days I did not want to even try, it felt as if I were buried alive beneath a mountain of pain and confusion and it consumed me. These guys understood and stayed by me when I had nothing to say or couldnt stop crying. I owe them my life.

Straight up, without my lair, I would not be here. Even when I couldnt find the strength to log in I knew they had my back. Members now or not, they are the foundation that built the circle of trust, loyalty, kindness, friendship and genuine caring that thrives in the lair. Nuff said <3

That said.. some of them have no clue they're in this so there's that too. Guess I'll haveta get ping happy. Ugh.

- thats great - thank you so much :)

pic looks good dear ❤ I dont know how you do it.

. The picture & names look wonderful! The ones that are no longer with us today actually are still with those of us that knew them so I am happy to see them included in the picture as well. Whatever you decide to do will be fine with me. Thank you for doing this. Hugs!
