For me, if it's a difficult border, I'd just do the fluffy one around it. If simple i'd pull it out back to the mistake and do it over. (Because when I was learning my grandma taught me if I found a mistake to rip out back to it and fix it. ) But I've slowly come to realize that a small "mistake" is hardly ever noticed by anyone but me and makes the item unique- also some artists always include a mistake in their work because only God is perfect. Or something like that.

I hear you, feel the same sometimes.

I'm sorry you feel this way. But you do belong with us and I honestly do like seeing your painting updates and reading your posts.

I try to reply as much as I can to posts, but sometimes it actually be kinda hard to give a proper reply and write something meaningful.

I'm usually around most of the time. If you need to talk you can PM if you want and I honestly wouldn't mind even if it was to talk about stamps or postcards.

If you need to rest you need to rest, but when I've been really low that's all I can do too.

Do you have a date of your T's return?

Likely outcome is he'll get a slap on the wrist from the prison, maybe take away his computer privileges. He also said that me reporting it just likely fans whatever flames are getting him off, but said I should report it anyway. This is frustrating and destabilizing when I'm already not in a good place to begin with. What does he want from me? I don't want to create an angry monster because I won't talk to him but I also don't want any contact from him. This position sucks.

I'm sorry, NP, that's awful. I hope they actually do something--shouldn't they extend his sentence for violating the order? Otherwise, what's the point of the order if there are no consequences? As someone else said, I'd try reporting him on Facebook, too.

Thanks! I've had a shower and eating lunch so like progress. T's back next Monday after a 3/4 week break. Funny thing some of me is like thanks but no thanks.

I had another sort of sci-fi dream involving time travel last night. I'm not sure what's up with those lately--it's not like I'm watching any shows/movies or reading anything that would make me think about that. And they have very elaborate plots--maybe I should try to make the one into a story or something.

You do belong here. Y'know for me.... with PM's sometimes I want to PM somebody but then I start wondering is it ok, will it be welcome, will they think I'm weird, and most of the time I convince myself I would be bothering people. So I hardly ever initiate PM's. Hugs.

LonesomeTonight · Jan 09, 2019, 08:37 AM

It's always OK to PM me. I may not always reply right away, but sometimes it's because I'm thinking on how to respond.

ETA: This goes for anyone, not just for Art!

I have a color laser printer. Mine is a canon multi-function because I still need the ability to send and recieve faxes. It is fine. The one thing I would suggest looking for is a brand that has easily obtainable quality off-brand toner. I print in mostly black and white because most of my printing is still for documents. I haven't kept up with noting how often the toner needs replacing. That would probably more depend upon how much you print.

Something wise No. 3 used to remind me of concerning 2ex: he had/has choices too. Same for your husband. It’s not all on one person in a relationship.

But I so excel at beating myself up!

Not so good at thinking of solutions/compromises. Working at that now though. Because I'm pretty sure I do want to stay married at this point. I still have doubts but I'm pretty sure.

Thank you.

Some Native American tribe weavers supposedly make a very small mistake deliberately in their work to remind themselves that it’s OK not to be perfect.

BCM—if it helps I just checked and you and I exchanged PMs when you had your earlier account.

stopdog · Jan 09, 2019, 10:16 AM

I am always amused at reading attempts to lecture others about perceived character flaws and the accompanying denial and snarkiness when such is not met with gratitude.
My morning perusal of various blogs and sites.

There's a new Lindsay Lohan reality show set in Greece- omg. The opposite of this picture.

Nude beaches and alcohol?

Eta: when I miss Athens I watch “For the Love of Benji.” Benji spends a lot of time racing around the streets of Athens, including down the one my family’s apartment is on.

Also Benji is cute.

I think about using some of my dreams in stories too but haven't really. I should go through my earliest dream journals from like 2011 and see if any of them inspire me!

I have used them in poems more often.

Just got back from my morning walk. It's a tad overcast today. Here's the park-like area near my house that my route takes me through:

I made vegan mac and cheese, for health reasons I am trying to cut out meat and dairy/saturated fat.

It was so grim, just so.....disappointing and I gues if I hadn't had cheese in forever I might be convinced but I doubt it. Blech, think I'll just eat regular mac and cheese in small amounts.

I had to eat a chocolate cookie to get over it.

stopdog · Jan 09, 2019, 11:34 AM

I never could eat vegan cheese-like substances. I refuse to call it cheese. Sort of like vegan leather, almond or soy milk, and so on - It is not cheese, milk or leather - so just stop it. That was one of my biggest problems when I was vegan. The language around it and the horrible food substances created to be foods they were not.

I would never recommend it to anyone. I guess don't trust someone who hasn't had cheese in years when they tell you it tastes authentic.

Some people like the taste of nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute. Had it once and it was good. You'd have to look for a recipe though, I'm not sure of the amounts and I think something else is mixed in with it.

I haven't even managed to go vegetarian completely yet, can't imagine getting to vegan!
