PheebyKatz Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Delight of the Week (because sometimes it be like that): Finding out (well, getting confirmation, really) that THE actual Robin Wood, the lady who did cover art for Dragon Magazine, and D&D books and stuff, and created the Robin Wood Tarot, is the same lady who made my SL character's awesome saddle Oxford shoes. It's as neato as finding out that it really was Ursula K. LeGuin on Ursula K. LeGuin's SL account.

So many beautiful souls who were here once.... I know it'd be silly of me to just assume people who have legendary status with me because of sci-fi cons wouldn't be in the same online platform I myself hang out on, but yeah, I think the logical disconnect was just my own failure to put 2 & 2 together because paganism, pixel people, and vintage footwear hadn't yet merged in my consciousness as being related, at least not all together like that. I kinda figured it was her, but then I wasn't sure until I visited her website (which is still up) and saw her links to her SL stuff. I had even done stuff with her skin textures before, but it's kinda like how there's a woodworker with the same name, and you never know if they even know who else has their name. I forget sometimes, also, how many people who like to be on the cutting edge of art, fiction, and other entertainments like to be on the cutting edge of technology, too. And then end up staying, even when the mainstream herd leaves to follow the hypewagon. But then, all the really cool people end up here eventually. *is only half-joking about that* Edited December 9, 2023 by PheebyKatz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casidy Silvercloud Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Time for today's pet delights, and while I am at it, thank you for indulging my need for pet delights, despite how unreasonable it may be to demand positivity. I'm a very unreasonable person, anyone who knows me will tell you this. Just don't ever get me drunk or leave yourself alone in a room with me if positivity isn't your bag, because I will shamelessly dump an entire planet's worth on you, without consent, and expect you to take it all. My friends have, on more than one occasion, threatened to make me ride in the trunk, or sleep in a closet. I've been left on a porch or two before as well. Now, on to today's pet delights. Duck Game, FTW! Also, limp and lifeless mode, because oh boy, 2+ hours of tryin to get through this level, lmao. Also Because, duh, candy, and delicious candy at that! I have other pet delights, but they aren't sl forums friendly. It has been a lovely weekend, my favorite kind. The night, however, is not yet over, neither is the weekend. I'm killing time while I wait for slow pokes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Greenwood Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 The puzzles of the day with my morning coffee: Wordle, Quordle, Connections, Waffle, Deluxe Waffle, Waffle Royale, Sudoku, Tradle........... the list keeps growing, lol.

Oh they do, not this particular flavor with any amount of regularity that I know of though. They may not make this flavor at all anymore, for all I know. This is just one of the ones in my random snack box leftover from who knows when. My snack box has a lot of random stuff in it, lmao. This kind came in a pack that had mango powder with a tamarind, I think, stick too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when we had Huskies, they wouldn't even sleep inside during warm weather. Since we had a huge backyard, they occupied themselves quite well in the early morning hours. Even in the winter, when they woke up early, they'd still just run to the back door. We never had to do walks early. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casidy Silvercloud Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 This morning's pet delight, I slept in until 9 today. Granted, I didn't go to bed until after 4, but it still counts! Today I have some Christmasy sort of things to go do and see later. I also need to go to the store. I already changed the oil in my car so that's done. I might take her through the car wash while I'm out, just for fun, she's looking a little on the dirty side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Cinnamon lately (poor Turbo!), but I walk them both if they want, even if they were outside all night. Cinnamon will come and lay down with me, and lick my face as her way to ask for a walk; the next stage is cry/howling..

Garnet Psaltery Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Last Sunday I was ready to start again at the beginning of the Bible (I read each time round in a different translation) but when I looked for my NIV I found that I didn't have the eyesight of the 1980s, when I bought it. So I ordered a larger print version, which arrived the next day, much to my surprise and delight. Of course I thanked God for that, and it's been very easy on my old eyes. Also, on its cover is a reproduction of Henry Moore's peaceful 1853 painting of Grasmere with a quotation from Psalm 23. I'm very happy with it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casidy Silvercloud Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Today's pet delight, is friends. Not just any friends though, the best kind who know you need them even when you don't know you need them. It's a particularly rough anniversary, and a generally rough time of year for me anyway. My struggles are magnified and more than a bit of an issue-which could be a peeve, but it's not, because that's just life now isn't it? They just always know exactly what I need, even when I don't know what I need. They're very good at filling in the blanks I don't know exist. Also, no school tomorrow, which means no worries tonight, and someone sent me this. I've seen it before, but it's just as hilarious today as it's always been. The answer is yes, yes we do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casidy Silvercloud Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Today's pet delight, I am puppy sitting for a friend for a few weeks. Derp is enjoying the companion, and I am enjoying watching derp enjoy the companion. This is exactly what my heart of hearts needed today, truly some warm fuzzies in all their barking, running, tearing things apart, chewing, jumping, and slobbering glory. I've already found a toy in a shoe and nearly closed a pupper in a closet, lmao. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityPage Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 White Chocolate Peppermint Coffee Creamer. I thought it would be either too sweet or too minty, but it's perfect, so good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
