FurPlanet picked up my novel, "Otters In Space," and is releasing a new edition with a shiny new cover at FurCon next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a snow day today!
SNOW!No snow here in Baltimore yet, but it was a really nice day with 62 degrees and blue skies :D.
WOOHOO! Finally, we get snow. :) Maybe only 4-6" or thereabouts, but it's finally here! I was getting tired of seeing brown lawns for the last 1-2 months. :P I was beginning to wonder if winter and snow would ever come.
Psh. If you want out of key weather, it was 60 five days ago, and sunny without a cloud in the sky. Considering last years haul of over >20 inches in one sitting, this has been horrible this year. None the less, I was able to catch up on my homework.I've got a snow day today!
I so, so jelly. The miniscule snow we've gotten here so far has always melted within days, while last year at this time I had to wade through knee-deep snow just to get to the driveway that I had to shovel. I mean, for god's sakes, it's 45 degrees right now and raining. RAINING. In early January.
I was scouted out and given an automatic position without a single tryout on the #3 basketball team in the state!

Congratulations, Carter! That is excellent news! I wish you the best of luck once your season starts!
Three of my short stories got nominated for the Ursa Major Award for Best Short Fiction this year!OMG! :D That's great. Good job, and I hope you win at least one if not all of them. I hope some of my future stories get nominated for some awards, too.
Apparently, the power lines in my town were not prepared for 8 inches of snow. On the bright side, it's actually been kind of fun hanging out at my sister's apartment during the day for warmth and internet, followed by huddling by the fireplace with candles and flashlights at night. That said, three days of my house getting progressively colder while the interior of the refrigerator got progressively warmer is definitely enough.
I went out to get lunch, and I sort of got a second job there! Wasn't even planning on applying :D
"Sort of" = "really." I asked if they had positions, filled out an application, and got hired on the spot. Really surprised me, but I'm way happy :)I went out to get lunch, and I sort of got a second job there! Wasn't even planning on applying :D
Sort of? :o

Thanks dude! This means a super lot to me. The first tournament is this weekend and I've only been to two practices :o And I had to deny 2 other teams that wanted me super bad and sent begging emails to get me to play on two teams!
My friend had been told he should be able to get a kidney transplant soon :)
I got 2 teeth pulled at a great price! I had to drive 6 hours, but I got to go to a furmeet, hang out with some awesome fantastic friends, have an In-N-Out Burger. It was still cheaper than having it done where I live!!! 8) Also, no dry socket! :DGet more rotten teeth so you can visit more often :)
Anyway, I'm working on a publication. I just barely got the proof copy, and it looks beautiful! I'm way excited to be close to finishing it.

That's so beast Carter! Congrats!
I'm going to publish my first book cover very soon!!! I've basically been hired on as an illustrator for a publishing company of mainly horror books, and I'm already working on several other covers and a graphic novel, but this'll be the first to actually be published. Its for a collection of short horror stories written by previously unpublished authors, called New Blood, and my cover will even be featured in the international horror magazine The Rue Morgue!!!!!! I'm soooo excited!!
School's out!
And it feels like I was just starting it a few weeks ago...
Doesn't it always? I can't believe I'm already done with a quarter of my undergraduate years... :o
I changed a car tire mostly on my own today! :) I don't even know how to drive yet lol
well done, skills like this are vital for car owners.Agreed. Whenever I go back home to visit my parents, I ask my dad to teach me something about looking after a car.
Free of my physically painful job and a blank slate for the future and looking forward to a new career! :D I'm so happy I get to spend more time with my family again and get to focus on being a great husband and father. No more manual factory work!
Had my first rock concert the other night and IT WAS SOOO AAAWWWWEEESSOOMMEE!!

My mom dropped off at my apt. a new lamp for me, as well as 2 lbs. of hot & spicy beef sticks which I love from a favorite meat market I like to visit whenever I go see my grandmother from time to time. :)
It's raining outside (this is a big deal; remember, I live in Texas...I haven't seen rain here since I got here in mid-May) :D
Now I want one...
Just got the concept art for my fursuit! I'm sooo excited :D
My computer isn't in the stone age anymore! (know how Mozilla is on V14? Hours ago, I was working with V8)
I figured out the root of my fear of spiders!

I GOT MY BRACES OFF THIS MORNING! :D :D :D :D :D it feels so cool xD
Today I was offered, and accepted the position with the company I was wanting to work for! 8) Great starting pay, bonus program, full benefits, I can even start taking vacation time in 6 months! :) :orfox: :orhorse: :ordragon: :orraccoon: :orbunny: :goldhowl:
i got my job back at Grumpy's bar & grill. I'm really happy that i don't have to work with my ex-friends any more.
With luck, I'm getting the minor operation I've been waiting on for several months tomorrow :D
Whatever it is,good luck! :)Thanks ^^ It went fine. My arm is hurting like crazy and keeping me up all night, but that's probably to be expected.

anyway, i finaly got my paypal working and i made good progress on my robot, i moved the weights around, i had 14 long bars along the entire length, now i have 21 shorter bars 1/3 the length at the front ( thats where i needed the weight) so now im using half the material, however i had to cut 7 bars ( its frowned upon to cut metal too much) and 7 bars is quite a bit. and i may have to add more. but we are also having connection issues with the robot, it loses connection to the controllers. i got to talk to the fur i know in school today, we only encounter once at the end of school each day if that as we each head to our respective busses.
aaaAAAAH! Just got a raise of $0.50! It's not a lot, and I'm still making barely above minimum wage, but at least now I know how desperate my work is to keep me around :P. They never give raises lol.

that's the same thing i thought about a decade ago, i have been close to killing my self several times in the far past yet i always thought of ways i could improve my life and what i can look forward to. you just need to hang on.
I just don't think i can endure any more pain than i already have, YOU don't know about my life; unfortunately, I doJD. I have a pretty bad life myself and the only thing that makes me able to endure that is friends, furtopia and finding Gray.

I remembered just how much fun it is to get outside and throw a frisbee around with friends. Not only did i remember, but i actually went out and did it too!I wish I had friends to throw a Frisbee to. I think about it but never do it because my friends don't live close to me.
We also played cornhole, which is always fun. :)

The most amazing thing that has ever happened to me thus far in my life has just happened. I was going to tell BassCreator that i had had a crush on him for awhile. I was really nervous but eventually i let him know how i felt. Then, the greatest thing happened. He told me that he felt the same way about me. This was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole life so far. :DI was just about to post this, the feeling is mutual.
I am so happy. :D

Yeah, this is the first time this has ever happened to me. Ive fallen in love before but they were either straight or taken. My heart was broken so many times i was beginning to lose hope. Then, people told me that it wasnt hopeless and that i would find someone eventually but, to be completely honest, i did not believe them. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong. I love you, Bass :) <3I'm so happy for both of you :D
I've had a barbecue in my back garden with my old housemates ^.^. I get to go home one day early for my two weeks off and this weekend I will prepare ribs on the grill, ho cakes and crowder peas and mustard greens and neck bones, WOOOO WEEEE! All this while downing strawberry shine and jamming to Deaf Leppard. Us yenas know how to do it bro!
Finally I have something worth putting in here ... My computer ... it's alive (spent the whole day fixing my computer down to the point of taking every thing apart (even the CPU) and basically rebuilt it ... the jumper I used to clear the CMOS must have also been bad ... I'm just so glad my computer is back *Hugs it tightly and nuzzles* "Who's a nice computer that's gonna get a new monitor with speakers, you are~!" :3
*Rolls around happily snuggled up in the mass of cords from my computer and it's 4 monitors and surround sound system and other stuff swishing tail happily*
My dad is going to take me to get a completely new collar for myself, I'm so happy.. That's good to hear Bass.

Fursuited for continuous hours at an airport event. It was a partial, and I had access to the freezer in the terminal building. There was free pizza and I took a few breaks to sip Gatorade and swap cold vests.

Wouldn't fursuiting at an airport be bad, especially with your face covered? After 9/11, a lot of airports instituted stricter security measures.

Been doing a daily walk for the past few months. I weighed myself today and I am down 12 pounds! :D. Good job Ty! I'm all about health and fitness. Remember, do not starve yourself, your body will attack the muscle for energy. Find something physical that you enjoy and train for it. Fitness is how I found kickboxing, now I compete in front of large crowds. All because I wanted to get in shape.

I am moving to a new foster home, but I was told I would have to leave the province I am in now and go back to the one I'm originally from because I still to the government there, and that there was no way, shape or form that I could possibly stay here. However, after I learned from a foster parent that I needed to fight for what I wanted (which was to not leave the wonderful people I have met in this city) I made some calls, wrote some things, and viola. I'm here to stay. I think the only reason the system is allowing me to stay here is because my social worker from my old province knows me well and she felt bad for me and how sad I was, so she bent some rules in my favor. Also, the new place has CATS! This Friday, I'll be free! Yayyyyyy!That's awesome ^^ Good luck with your new foster home. I hope that they are nice to you.

However, after I learned from a foster parent that I needed to fight for what I wanted (which was to not leave the wonderful people I have met in this city) I made some calls, wrote some things, and viola. I'm here to stay. I think the only reason the system is allowing me to stay here is because my social worker from my old province knows me well and she felt bad for me and how sad I was, so she bent some rules in my favor. Also, the new place has CATS! This Friday, I'll be free! Yayyyyyy!That's awesome ^^ Good luck with your new foster home. I hope that they are nice to you.

I finally got a part-time job and I have an interview for a second job next week!. That's good news! Work is good. Myself, I just found out a few days ago that a good fur friend, my first fur friend is a fursuit maker, I had no idea. She just finished a angel dragon suit that is fantastic. I will post pictures when I figure out a easy way to post them on this site. I will see her Saturday at the Plex. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

"don't worry be a good boy, that's a good boy" :o :P eh that was wierd :-[
Today was actually good. :)Nah, it's more of a trend now. I kinda forgot just how good it feels to not be depressed all the time.
Went to the state fair. Sadly didn't see any other people with a tail, but it was tons of fun.

got to watch guardians of the galaxy a second time last Saturday. really good and funny movie (can easily say it is my favorite marvel film) funny how the one i like the most is the one that has rocket the raccoon in it, and he isn't even the reason for it being my favorite.
also some of the songs they use throughout the movie are really good
Me Mum won $5 on a $5 scratch-off lottery ticket I got her for her birthday. Okay, I gave her some other stuff too.
found out that i can make a little money from having fun (destroying old electronics and sending the chips to a company)
The current issue of Sport Rocketry magazine features my human form in the National Sport Launch feature, on one of the photospread pages, and several mentions in the text of the article. My fursuit's owner is one of the top five model rocketeers in the nation.
not as tired as i usually am. turns out resting right after school gets me more rest instead of what i did last year (school, homework, rest)
so yay i might be a little less tired this year.
I got my drivers liscense today. Look out world there's a one-eyed wolf out on the roads. (:Congratulations! Hope you enjoy some new freedom, and get some good experience. ;)

patron without using real money.
Tonight, I hit that goal :D

Wow! Congratulations!
On a similar note, I just submitted my application to a local University. I'll be anxiously waiting for acceptance (I hope)!
i get to skip school again due to being sick. went to school yesterday and it was ok but then at the end of school just started to have a really bad head ache (which i still have) tho my head only hurts if im looking down for a long time (looking down at a school desk).If you are finding it really hard to breath then it's probably bronchitis. I've had it several times when I was young. If you having difficulty breathing, steam helps allot. In my case I had to sit in the bathroom with the shower on full hot to create enough steam to help me breath (not sure how that works). Look bronchitis up and see if it matches your symptoms.
this cold/flu/what ever it is (my mom thinks i might have bronchitis) is annoying but at least i got to pretty much skip every day of school this week which is pretty nice.
What for if I may ask?
first skype call with sciex with 40 minutes of silence till he finally said something. so more than a year of knowing each other and 9 months of being in a relationship and we finally said something to each other ^^ (the call was pretty awkward tho)yep XD

The curtain has come to a close, the Siege of [Redacted] has ended, floof, foam, and scraps of fur riddle every floor in the apartment. Where once only the sounds of techno music raged across the apartment, silence, stillness. The bittersweet victory has come at last. Two fursuits were born amongst the sounds of stitching and the near constant loss of needles... I will erect a gallery in the coming days to honor their valor, and to remember those lost to us forever.
The Siege of [Redacted]: February 25th --- March 7th

Baja Blast Mt. Dew is back! Woohoo! :D Bought 3 bottles so far at the corner gas station.
I got my first purely DCC (non-analog) locomotive today, and has wonderful sound effects.
How would you fit a gearbox to the train? Possibly a AEP Glock 18 might fitwell of course you would need a larger train to be able to mount airsoft gun pieces (accidentally edited that out of the original post) so it would be a pretty expensive hobby (just like those airsoft battleships but with trains you need tracks)
Got a free six pack mtn dew from work
I may have just gained a third addition to my little reptile family >.>I look forward to seeing pictures :)

Getting ready to go down to Coronado Beach for the day with some of my friends. We're staying till 7:30PM and having a bonfire, it will be lot's of fun.
It was lot's of fun, I got sunburnt again in spite of me putting on lots of sunscreen :P. The waves were huge so I enjoyed bodyboarding and just swimming in the nice water. You should plan a trip to the beach then set a date and if anything's not going you go.

Yah got one of my first ones it's on the thread General non-furry titled "purchased my first firearm"(not my very first firearm but the first one I bought). It's manufactured in 1943, I really want a M44 or a PU version but I'm debating on getting a AKM type rifle(maybe a Romanian AKM).
The Air Force Association just announced kickoff of a TARC-style competition to get more youth groups involved in STEM. With Team America Rocketry Challenge, the contest parameters change each year, but always involves a large model rocket with a live hen's egg payload, and getting that payload back to Earth without damage. There's a $200 entry fee per team.
I've been tapped to provide technical assistance to a Civil Air Patrol cadet team, and someone has offered to pony up the $200.
My fursuit just arrived!!!! :Dnice please post pics!!
After a week and a half of a nasty chest infection, with a side of sinusitis and a cold.......I think i may be almost better! O_OI've been the same recently. Damn cold weather.
Want an electronic dinosaur but can't get it until next week. Also I cut the hell out of my leg yesterday. Probably needed stitches because it bled all day and was pretty deep. But I avoid doctors like the plague.

Go see a doctor........NOW. Don't let it turn into something worse and then get an infection.
A long time ago (maybe like 7 weeks ago), I admitted to one of my friends I wanted to be more than friends(i really like her). She admitted she really liked me too and all I can say I haven't felt this good in a while. Things have been going well for the two of us. Plus she thinks furries are cool! :) :) :)Thats amazing good going

Went to a local model contest (Planes, ships, tanks, etc.) today. Took 5 projects and did very well. Won 7 awards! :) :DI won a few trophies in local model-building contests. Then it got to the point that one had to invest more in aftermarket accessories than on the actual model kit. Animating the model with LEDs and fiber-optics wasn't enough. Put navigation and anti-collision lights in an A-1H Skyraider. Nav lights in a B-29 and anti-collision flashers in an F-106--all took trophies.

Just landed in Vancouver BC ^^ Yay, now I'm in Canada.Oh! My grandparents live about an hour from there!
And this topic is basically just where you say random good things that happened?Precisely. :)
Tried taking pics of a model with interior lighting so that I could hopefully post them to a model building forum.
1st try - Took 15 pics, all blurry. Failed. :(
2nd try - Took 10 more pics, blurry. Failed. :(
*tries adjusting camera settings again, and again, and again, and.........
Tried four more times. 50+ pictures. All attempts failed. Screw this! >:( >:( >:( *throws camera in the garbage*
I beat Halo Reach on legendary!! By myself may I add It took a long time but I finally did it.
Just finished creating my new Facebook group tonight. I hope it does well. :) No, I'm not going to share it with furries.Does that make it a secret from yourself then? :D

I woke up before 11am for the first time in literally months. Better yet, i didn't even need an alarm. Turns out if you go to sleep earlier, you wake up earlier too! Who woulda thought?
And it's all because i've finally cracked down (on myself) and created a set of guidelines for what i should be doing in my life in order to not be a lazy slacker. Yay, responsibility!

I MAY get into the military. I have an aptitude test and personality test to go through, then medical, THEN the interview. I already passed my physical so here's hoping I do fine in everything else. Been stressing for years hah. It's my dream.

I got a copyright notice on one of my YouTube videos becuase one minute of it sounds similar to someone else's music when I have the song playing for a full 3 minutes. This guy came along, claimed i stole his music, and is now making money off of my hard work. I was sick when I made it, I apologized for not uploading, and I talked about the future of my channel. It angers me. I have FIVE subscribers. 106 views.I have successfully defended my content against copyright problems! The doofus probably made a nickel off of me, but I defended myself against false copyright claims! Hooray!

other than that i would finally be free to do stuff without parent permission, i could move out if i really wanted and stuff like that.
I have a full time job :DO.o nice
I work in a gothic/alternative clothing store now.
Today was hot and stuffy beyond anything i ever could have expected for this town. If this doesn't blow over in a day or so, i fear for my sanity. If this drags out more than i week, i think i'll be lucky to survive.
Also, for those who don't know i live in a small brick party room in the backyard of my house. No AC, the fans hardly seem to do anything most of the time, and it's wholly uninsulated. The place is an oven at the best of times, but today's heat is absolutely absurd.
Hillary Clinton did not win.
True, Trump will be our next President, but I'm trying to look at the bright side of things.

As I left work today, I told everyone it has been a plesaure working with them. They all told me I had been fantastic, even if my boss didn't think so.This piques my interests as of to what happened.
But I left. On my own terms. I have won.
I was able to share stories about disabilities with a coworker...it feels nice to be accepted at work, considering an adult who doesn't drive in the US is a bit of an oddity... :-[

How is that odd? I have bad eyesight and I can't own or drive a car either. There are plenty of other people in the U.S. who probably don't or can't drive for various other reasons. Even my grandmother never learned or wanted to drive throughout her life.

One month out, my new fursuit was located by the postal service and returned as undeliverable. It should arrive next week though.

You plan on making your own fursuit or commissioning someone? What kind of bird costume?
Sometimes, it pays to be in the right place at the right time. ;)oh man! :D That is awesome. I'm not a fan myself but that is a great find.
I wasn't planning to go to my local library today, but I made a quick stop just for the hell of it to see what new DVD's were available to check out. Also took a quick look at the "For Sale" section where the library sells off old, used, and/or donated books, music, and DVD's. And what did I happen to find for sale? The complete Season 1 of Game of Thrones on Blu-Ray! :o Normally, I'm not a GoT fan/watcher as I never got into the series years ago. But my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to purchase the 5-disc Blu-Ray set.......for $1.00! Yep, you read that right. $1! And the complete set is in very good condition too.
Saw Alpha this weekend. :goldhowl:Was it any good?

No bleeding or fever from my last doctor visit.
the good news! The ornaments I have with the dreaded 1950's 'black powder' or better known as spent uranium, are not as dangerous as I thought. Bad news is they're still dangerous. The radon and radiation are gone. But the powder itself is still a heavy metal. Harmful if inhaled or ingested.
The wonderful 1950's. The years that brought us "Who needs a light to write at night?" You guessed it. Uranium tipped ink pens. And "For that festive look all year try Krylon Uranium enriched spray paint." And everyones household favorite, uranium tipped tweezers! Goes with your uranium wrist watch and uranium enriched makeup. Not making this stuff up. The uranium craze hit the Christmas market as well. Everything from glow ornaments to glitter you could spray on your tree.

I think I once read somewhere that the uranium paint that they used for wrist watches was applied by workers who used brushes to paint the numbers on by hand. And that they would lick the brush tip so that they would get a more precise character. x_x

FURTOPIA is back up!!! :)
Thanks to those who made this possible! :)
I've been really enjoying new books lately, especially Dig by Sam Chiarelli--it's inspired me to make a lot more 90s themed dinosaur art, and revived a lot of my latent dinophilia! 8)
I've also been enjoying creating Copics illustrations for my lecture courses.
I am hoping my full time interview in two weeks goes well! Pawpads crossed for me! :)

No cash at the ATM visited after work. Later visited my CU and a local FM station was doing a promo in the lobby. After my transaction, I was invited to spin a prize wheel. A half-hearted spin earned one ticket. Selected one at random and a scratch-off revealed $500! So I went home with a pre-loaded Visa card of that amount!
My overcooked supper is still edible! ;)Sorry about that...
Job interview tomorrow at 3:00 hoping all goes well. Then I can beginning saving for another car, specifically one that is both reliable and fast (2006 Corvette Z06 is on the list or a 5th Gen ZL1. Both are reliable and fast. Plus mods Heads, Cam, and basic bolt-ons can bump up the power for cheap).
Started to put together the fur suit dryer that I'm making. Seems to be working well. Need to ramp up the blower a bit, but overall, I'm happy with it.

Job interview tomorrow at 3:00 hoping all goes well. Then I can beginning saving for another car, specifically one that is both reliable and fast (2006 Corvette Z06 is on the list or a 5th Gen ZL1. Both are reliable and fast. Plus mods Heads, Cam, and basic bolt-ons can bump up the power for cheap).

Thanks I just wanna make money and go fast :D both of those cars have been my dream cars for awhile. I always see them around town just amazing power for the price.
EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh, WI this week.

Thanks I got the job. I’m working everyday now and I go in for training I believe on Wednesday. Opening till closing Monday through Sunday.
Decided to try and get back into maybe dating someone. Haven’t been in a relationship with someone for almost 3 years now. My best friend set me up with one of his girlfriend’s friends. So I’m nervous but also excited.
A lot has been going right in my life so I’m happy.
Went out as my fox character. Was NOT turned away at the gate for the Renaissance Festival furmeet. Regarded by many and many requests to be photographed with children and even pets! Possibly photographed by their official photographer. Someone in our group also took photos and posted them quickly on FB.

Cool. I'll bet you were a big hit with the crowds, especially the kids. Any more pics available?
Well... after 5 months of unemployment, I have a job offer!
I have 3 days to accept... and I have 1 more interview to go. Not sure how to "play" this.
I did the phone interview, and made up my mind. I decided to take the offer that was sent to me. So in some time I should be working again.
Not looking forward to the high stress that comes with the job, however. But I need the money, experience, and a place of my own again.
5 months of unemployment was starting to feel like 1 year or more.
It would seem that I've earned another Certificate of Merit. That's the word from headquarters anyway. To be announced officially in CAP News. This also suggests they're returning to a monthly newspaper format again. They call me "Colonel Coyote" behind my back btw.
My one sick dog has seemed to have stabilized somewhat. Hopefully, will stay that way.
Still not dead yet.
Got another job reject notice. It might seem like a bad thing, but at this point I'm just happy when someone gets back to me.
Going to MFF! Wish you weirdo's were going to be there (and if you will be, pm me!).
A certain fox and I got engaged :3Congratulations!

Managed to schedule a haircut appointment for tomorrow. :) Couldn't get a haircut for 3 months due to this damn pandemic.Huskies do need regular fur maintenance.

I'm told this is good news...
I now have a puppy and also should be in my own home come June 15.
Lots to worry about now.
Puppy still doesn't really like me yet, but loves my mom... darn dog.
House wasn't what I really wanted but it is ok amd what I can afford. I won't complain. It's been 1 year since I've had either thing, hope it turns out to be what I want and need.
My other job finally opened up againThat's great !!

It is looking increasingly more hopeful that I do not have cancer :DThis is very good news!!
I'm not dead.
The mass removed from my abdomen was 35cm long and over 3 kilos. Or about as large as I was when I was born.
I am now down a few organs, but alive.
I'm now two weeks post-surgery, and only have two more weeks of blood thinner injections in the morning.
Healing is progressing very well as far as I can tell.
@VargPeople are allowed to have different opinions. That is what makes america great. Also, the president dying would cause even more chaos then we already have. Lastly, I don't think that it'smorally right to wish death on someone, even if you don't like them. Remember, he also has a family.
That's a good thing? :D
Good news for everyone! President Trump proved that you can vote in a non housebroken dog and America will still continue to be America.
Walked into Walmarts today. A lot of people shopping. Almost everyone of them were masked. Only a few holdouts. The truth is stronger than any political lie.
Finally got a haircut today. At least now I won't look like a 1960's hippie. :)I just blindly buzz-cut mine. Where it does grow. Sucks having hair loss starting at 17...
I've been moved into my new apartment the past two weeks now. Although I have bouts of sadness and loneliness, I can focus a LOT more on work and art and my hobbies on my own. It is quiet here, and there are lots of nice large trees at the complex. This place is fairly well maintained, and a large space for the cost. I'm much better off here than where I was...and I can finally heal.That is great news! Glad you can start the healing process, despite it being a little more lonely of a place.
I'm also seriously considering Anthrocon once the virus is vaccinated against! :D

And I too want to have a good "break" from things, and want to go to Anthrocon, or DenFur when things are better.
I wish it were possible to have a Furtopia at Anthrocon type event. It would be neat to see you all.
here's some good news for all of us. 2020 is almost over. Just a few more days to go...
Made a pretty quick recovery from covid glad to be back to almost 100%. From what I've read my taste and smell may not return for weeks or months so that's the only sucky thing.
Awesome Amducious! Now is the time to eat all the healthy food you don't like.
I finished my novel Iara's Crossing a couple of weeks ago, and it's in the hands of beta readers! :D
Edited to add: I am interviewing one of my favorite authors on my new podcast, Dreaming About Dinosaurs, this weekend! Excited for that! :D

Woo hoo! Congratulations! If finishing a novel doesn't give one a sense of accomplishment, I don't know what will. It's a lot like climbing a mountain, only climbing a mountain is easier. I hope your beta readers give you good feedback!
Congrats on the Book Iara! That's a lot of dedication. Really looking forward to hearing more good news about this soon.
My furnace is fixed!!! Well, sort of. It's running and I have a nice warm house now. Still needs a bit more work. That will come Wed.
The patch job I did on the leaky PVC pipe mentioned on another thread appears to be working out.Gee did you use flex seal? :D
I got my car back! And the breaks actually work. And best of all it didn't cost a small fortune.That is good news! A good mechanic!
My fursuit of Firelight arrived a few days ago and she's adorable!Sweet!
Good news the forums are back!
She's a partial.She's fully pawsome!
My good news is that in 2 weeks I get my final Phyzer vaccine for Covid-19. My first dose was obtained by driving 130 miles and walking up and doing 1 page of paperwork and then getting the shot. My next shot in 2 weeks will be same. Turns out that one way to skip the computer hassle here is to simply drive to a place that does things old-school.
Ordered a tshirt on Amazon and it's coming from Kentucky. Been watching the tracking information so I know when to expect it. Was supposed to be delivered today. Nope. It went as far as Chicago, then headed back to Kentucky. I'm in Wisconsin. :o >:(
And even more good news I forgot to share--I am fully vaccinated against the plague!
And even more good news I forgot to share--I am fully vaccinated against the plague! :-[Just because you have protection doesn't mean you can go tempting fate. Would immediately walk around the bad parts of town calling people out just because you got a bulletproof vest? You may have gotten the vaccine but the virus a living thing and evolution is relentless. The moment you get careless and complacent you're gonna get sick. Keep your mask on, keep out of crowds and remember, even if you don't get sick there's a chance you could be carrying it. So don't take chances.
Let's put the blame where it belongs here. it's not the drug companies fault we will all need booster shots. It's republicans, right wing media, Q and others who are doing their best to keep this virus alive and killing.No, it's biology. Several vaccines often require booster shots. That's just the nature of the beast. But when a virus is this prolific new strains are inevitable. That doesn't mean the vaccine is pointless, some protection is better than none, but needing a booster is just how this vaccine (plus many others) works.
Kay and Kobuk-I appreciate your concern and I understand what you mean--I am still wearing my mask around others and staying home 95% of the time. I know the vaccine is just a start and that future vaccinations/boosters will be necessary. I know the biology of viruses, I have a degree in Biology, so I am well aware of the risks right now.
I just thought it was good news to share.
I guess not. :'(

I'm sorry, Iara. :( I should have wished you Congrats, but instead my comments came off as something else and warned you that people may need another shot and such. I removed my original comments and instead wished you congratulations on getting vaccinated.

Got offered a new job! Probably still going to be pretty stressful as it's retail, but on the bright side it's something I already know how to do!
Completed my S-130 and my S-190 for my Basic Wildland Firefighter course. I apply for agencies this coming October. I also have an option to work with Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression Inc. On one of their Type 2 IA Handcrews or on one of their Type 3 engines. I just have to get things sorted first and a new car.

Sweet! Is this in CA?
Local fair is this weekend. It was a surprising amount of fun for such a small community. Might stop by tomorrow to check out what I have a sneaking suspicion is a furry artist. They weren't there today, but had some beautiful animal paintings.
so is anyone else exited about getting bills besides me? :)
Excited? I think not. Just got a hospital bill in the mail today for $90. That might not seem like much. But even small bills can still be a headache in this inflation economy. x_x

My tarot and oracle decks all just about fit into a drawer xD

AWESOME Kobuk! Keep smashing the competition!
New engine started and ran well! A little smoke and noise till it ran for 10 min. This is normal from what I've read.
Bad news is air conditioning compressor blew up. Turns out it was bad... go figure. So vehicle is not being driven. It takes weeks to get the part. I'm tired of this.
I no longer work in the food service industry, and I've been getting my teeth fixed, slowly but surely.
And I am blessed to have one of the greatest dentists of all time.
Oh Rocket! Those are my favorite! My mouth is watering!
I guess my good news is that i got a lot of work done today and do not have to worry about work for the weekend.
About time! SUBWAY is switching from Coca-cola products to Pepsi products.Gosh i ain't had Subway in a long time. Might be time to go have a sub.
Hell Yes! Bring on the Mountain Dew! :) :D

But for other people who like Coca-cola beverages, then too bad, so sad. Cry me a river.
