    What have been your avatars in the past?

    Mine is Cantus. It used to be Kalle, one of my handsewn teddybears. I've had tons of different avatars in other places, mostly teddy bears or if they were of people, then I made some of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. :D

    Dude!

    I know how it is to hear about a favorite musician passing on. Hope that by continuing to listen to Pink Floyd's music this will demonstrate the legacy that was left behind. Take care. RIP, Richard Wright.

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Discussion)

    Balderdash! I started reading one of your stories and you are anything but 'inexperienced'. Come on, don't sell yourself short. I didn't rattle off how many years I have been writing to make people feel that way. That was never my intention.

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Discussion)

    ~bows humbly and blushes~ :flirt: Glad you liked what I wrote. I was a bit nervous that I was getting too verbose with it, but I tend to discuss with examples as that offers more clarification than going batty with ideas, which can happen with me. :batty: At any rate, I am an active original...

    Bein Green vs. Rainbow Connection

    I love 'Rainbow Connection', it was one of my first solos, and I still remember standing on a stage in the eighth grade in a rainbow colored dress singing it. So, yes, the somg evokes great memories for me. Of course the song that really shows Kermit is probably 'Bein' Green', just because...

    Grown Man - New Kids on the Block Just got their new CD, per nostalgia's sake and it's not half bad. Yes, I was one of those fans back in my teenager days. :D

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Discussion)

    I think OC's are fine and I have been writing them since day 1. But, as was suggested, it's really a good idea to put something into your other characters. Don't get stuck into this trap of making your original characters Mary Sues. That annoys a lot of readers and makes them want to leave...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    I just want to clarify that when I said I get into description, I don't mean that I write the characters in such a way that one can grow quickly aggravated by the description. However, when I introduce a character into the story, I do describe the canon characters a tiny bit. Of course, I...

    Reporter Writing About Adult Toy (Muppet Toy?) Collectors

    Perhaps speaking out about this is not for everyone, but my point to doing that is to tell them that not all people who collect toys are some psychological mess. If they see that normal educated people collect things that are a bit obscure, then perhaps they will leave those old stereotypes...

    Ahhhhh!

    Of course, you're quite right, it is both, but what I meant to say was that it's not just a privilege but also a responsibility. I stand corrected. :)

    Reporter Writing About Adult Toy (Muppet Toy?) Collectors

    I emailed her today, and am presently sending pictures. She sent me some questions and I already answered them. Very objective questions, IMO. Yes definitely keep us posted.

    Phobias

    Oh yeah, I'm also afraid of heights, although flying is no trouble (lucky that, my husband's a private pilot).

    Phobias

    I have a paranoid fear of food going bad. That is I will look at the food out of the fridge very carefully before I eat it. I have more often than not bought stuff from the store that has gone bad immediately, if not sooner. My husband says that I have eyes like a hawk when it comes to...

    Reporter Writing About Adult Toy (Muppet Toy?) Collectors

    I wasn't targeting anyone with my comments, and if that is what came across, I apologize profusely. However, I am merely saying that sometimes people ask other people questions about their hobbies and interests because of them being interested. It doesn't mean they want to make others out to...

    Reporter Writing About Adult Toy (Muppet Toy?) Collectors

    I responded to the writer, although I did not go into great detail about what I collect, I told her that I am a teddy bear collector as well as maker, I'm married and 37. I have over 1000 teddy bears here, and have collected them since I was 16-years-old. I don't think that there is anything...

    Fellow Church People

    Yesterday was the Unity World Day of Prayer. I didn't miss it, but I did take some moments to think of everyone I have met online during the last 10-15 years. One of them being my husband of over 13 years. So, love and light to all.
