Sounds like you definitely have your work cut out for you. :O
I had posted a very cute HA with my Delish Tender Outfit and I ended up mostly naked, my torso completely exposed. So I changed to my other fall outfit, the one with the Woman Warrior clothes, and all the torso items were mission. What's going on? Is the Wardrobe broken again?
[edit] Silly weasel....I had gifted the Delish Tender items and no longer owned them. The Warrior Woman items were Cash Shop items I never purchased, but I had made an Outfit for Wayward Squirrel....I am a dum.
I almost asked if your name was Maria and if yall live next to me, but I don't think you're my Maria, who is also staring down her own mortality after being told there is nothing that can be done to treat the cancer consuming her. I first met Maria when we were about 15, a lifetime ago. She came to the states from Barcelona and has that same fire as the line of flamenca dancers she's ascended from. How I use to love watching her mother dance.. ah.. memories.
Maria is refusing hospice at this time. I've quit arguing the point with her, no one can comprehend what she's dealing with that is not in her shoes. She's still here, there's still time.
The strength I see in her and feel after reading some of your posts humbles me. I've always been the rock here, but I am not sure I could be that strong were roles reversed. I wish you nothing but the best in happiness and health.
Our Lair is proof you don't have to stand face to face to know you've got friends who stand with you when you need us.

: Thank you so very much. This is a quill-pen drawing of Little Lady Frieda (me) co-hosting with her mother Lady Sunflower Von Steuben her first Woodland Council Spring Tea Party. Master Badger is the former Head of the Woodland Council and was the Master of Apiary Arts before he retired when I became Queen. Mrs. Badger is a Journey Level III pastry chef and was overly concerned that the biscuits would end up on the ground. My mother trained me well, I would never let something as precious as a biscuit (cookie) suffer such a fate. I drew this drawing in walnut ink two years ago for Inktober 2020. There are 30 companion drawings stashed somewhere online. I may repost them sometime.
Zo far mine cleaning of the V6 reveals mine may have the same obstacle as with the Mazda, the harmonic balancer may need to be removed beforehand. Of course, mine not familiar with this powerplant, zo a full exploration would provide some insight.
Mine think this week's extended shop may eat up the days off to prepare, an mine want to take the old thing home in one piece. Mine gknow one person will be kept waiting until mine can see if time can be given to them...
Mine will have to wait a few weeks to see if mine can buy impact accessories, but there are a few advantges. Mine have a $20 reward at Autozone if their impact sockets aren't too pricey, an Harbor Freight has an impact extension set for $9.99.
[edit] 11/15 Today's class was cancelled, on account of our instructor being sick. Zo, mine should check the online section to see what's open.
Such a sweet drawing!
It won't be long until we have to start a new forum. Anybody got a new name they'd like it to be named? Just curious.

Huggles as seen on TV, they're an actual product!
I am sorry about your friend's prognosis. It's definitely a personal choice, about treatment. Not just for cancer, but for any illness that impacts our life. I know that as a nurse, I saw a lot of patients whose understanding of hospice, was skewed, and fearful. I didn't find that most patients knew what hospice really was, which is sad, because they can be such a help and comfort. Not that that is what's going on with Maria. It was just an observation, back in the day. I do hope that Maria and her family can find the support and comfort they need at this time.
And thank you for your well wishes, and kindness. As for being a rock, I am not THAT brave. I have never looked at life through rose colored glasses, and I also know that death is part of life. Whenever my time comes, I don't want my last days or hours to be about my illness. I don't want that for me, but I really don't want it to be about that for my loved ones.
Don't get me wrong, there are days I am angry. Angry with God, angry with myself, angry with life in general. Then I remember all those times I made it through rough days. 100% of my worst days, I made it through - and not alone. And all those days were made up of minutes that I thought I would never make it through. I remember apologizing to John, my husband, for being sick. I mean, when you are told about ANY life altering illness (this isn't my first), it's not like you can take it back. Oh I WISH! "Here store owner, this body is defective....can I have another?" Wouldn't that be nice? But it's support. It's the people in my life, who make it bearable. Asking for help is one of the hardest things for me to do, even when I know I should. lol But when I allowed others in, life got a lot less painful, a lot less stressful, and much more full of laughter, and new memories.
So, I guess it's just the way I look at it. It's ok to feel scared as hell, angry, confused, and all the feels. I would not be human if I was always happy go lucky. But it's about not staying in the muck. It's about getting up, and knowing that I am not alone. No matter how much it feels like that at times. It's about family, and friends, and even strangers. It's about people I will never meet, but who my life will impact in some way that I will never know. I could stay inside my head, and feel sorry for myself, and the lot I have been given, and I have at times. I just can't stay there - it's too dark and lonely. I am not looking to be brave, or for accolades. I am just living my life, to the best of my ability, for as long as my Maker allows. I am just like everyone else, given this choice - it's either fight, or die. I am just grateful I have a choice. There are those who do not. :(
: Happy Birthday Dearie. You are a good human and I love you.
: Huggles: Hugs, Jokes and Giggles Holiday Edition?
That would be better than the 'Huggles: Sausages, Eggs and Bacon for Frieda' suggestion you came up with a couple of hours ago.
I was hungry Welly, I'm better now.
Because you ate my bacon.
You were taking too long eating it, reading your paper and drinking your coffee at the table. so I helped you.
You also drank my coffee.
It was getting cold. I helped you drink it while it was hot.
I was still holding my mug when you slorped it right out of my paw.
I'm efficient.
hello everyone, just popping by, I just struggle lately to post and chat and keep up like I used too, live is still hectic with work and kids, trying to remember everything they need to do lol. I hope everyone is well,
I keep telling myself I need to be here more
Mine find the opposite to be true here. No family or other outlets, mine find chatting to have become routine, an questioning why mine come on at all. Six more weeks an mine will shove off a time.
Mine do need to go out, in a few minutes, if only to buy groceries. Tho if a client can receive mine for a job, mine could continue. For now, its just an open afternoon with little more than prep for nest class, if our instructor isn't out sick still.
96 bpm on mine metronome and Earl Grey steeping before heading out.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST BUDDY, ❤

Hi, . 👋

: Hello my darling! It's great that you visited, we love you so much!
: Earl Grey Tea Is The BEST! Honestly, I would drink that every morning if I could get it. Most tea in our culture are blended by our Master of Herbs and Medicines and contain no actual Camellia sinensis, leaves. Most popular 'tea" in our community is Margo's Tea, a breakfast tea blended with roasted chickory, roasted barley, orange peal and cinnamon. It's very similar to Earl Grey. The metronome idea is intriguing to me. Does it simulate a wind up clock ticking?
: I like to make folk smile. Weldon likes to tease me, but he is the love of my life and so I don't eat him when he does.
:
I will post another picture for you
I love your drawings, and your stories! <3
The metronome mine have is a wind up type, which does sound like a ticking clock, except the number of ticks can be changed, from very slow (largo) to very fast (presto). Mine seem to have it andante There is also a lever that adds a bell for timing, from 2/4 to 6/4.
Mine brew is very typical, what mine does is over steep and lightly sweeten. Tho only in cold weather does mine drink hot.
Class went well today, we were informed about the last chapter will be omitted from the course. And also to be reminded about only two full shop days left. Mine gknow only one step could delay completion of mine transmission, resetting a return spring assembly. This would require the use of a specific tool to compress the springs in order to attach a snap ring. Mine dead set on finishing, zo mine will stay longer if the situation call for it.
THANK YOU, my bestest Babber. It was SOOOOO busy, and I think I napped the majority of today away. GACK! 😆 But it was enjoyable, for sure.
One shop day left, and mine group isn't much closer to finishing. Our biggest obstacle was the process of reinstalling the planetary gear sets, our approach was complicated by a single snap ring that may be out of place. Mine own research shows that the output shaft is held in place be a single snap ring, tho mine may have installed it incorrectly.
ZO, tho one full shop day remains, my group is better informed to make this last try, in two weeks.
[edit]How droll of mine to almost forget, had gifted a Buddy GA today, zo mine have that for a spell. Thank you!
Umm imgur? No i don't know that site.Never heard of it. How about homebrew for a new name? :)
hmm...... I use Photo hosting site - IMGUR.COM This is the one I use to host photos, so that I can share here on Subeta. I am not sure of other sites, but I am sure there are some.
