there are nice spells, like you could put a GET RICH QUICK spell on her or if she ever gets arrested there are a bunch of spells to do that help you avoid conviction

you can buy spells on etsy!!

you can seriously buy spells on etsy. it's loving ridiculous. the best thing is that all the people selling hoodoo spells on etsy that i've seen are white, because white people are classy as hell

the brooches out of dead loved ones makes sense though because a lot of it must have been happening before photography and portraiture was just the province of the rich so making something beautiful out of your dead relatives would kind of be the only tangible connection you'd have to the dead, especially if you lived far away from their graves

that's why you take photos of their corpses, which is another thing people did back then

So you're saying you were in trouble after all :ohdear:

Thankfully, no. I'm trustworthy enough to be in charge of people who are. I get to guard the door and monitor bathroom breaks but I get a chair and I'm reading The Forest House for the first time in like 15 years. But I can't have internet in there.

I tried spinning cat hair once, but it doesn't felt up very well and kept slipping. I would like to make some hair jewelry but my hair is like 3/4 of an inch long mostly. I want to keep some of my brown before it all goes silver. (it's like 1/3 there now.)

Things to do with dead peeps. When my uncle passed he was cremated and I was tasked with going to Montana and scattering his ashes in his special place. My grandfather made the odd request of saving a very small bit and returning it to him. So I got a frame and mixed the tablespoon of ashes with Elmer's glue and secured a picture of the scattering site to it. He seemed happy.

But you can take the lid off the pink jar and put it on the green jar, whose lid you put on the white jar. They seem to go for less than a buck apiece unpainted, but maybe that's seven dollars' worth of fun. Each.

The reason there are so many alligator heads on eBay is that they're farmed gators. They used to just throw the heads away (they're not usable for purses and stuff). It's the same reason you can find fox faces on eBay. Fur scrap, unusable.

My good work purse is fresh water crocodile from Papua New Guinea. I was worried about endangered species and stuff but when I researched it, I discovered that the fresh water crocodile is generally gathered by small farmers who raise them and the farming program has been such a success in both preserving the species and helping the people economically that there a papers written about it. :3 So I can not feel bad about having an extravagant ski purse. (I actually love animal skin stuff, like sting ray shoes, but I research before I buy)

Me too! I'm trying to break out of the neutrals and baggy pants and no makeup with macrame look I've been rocking for years. My husband tells me I dress like an early 90's lesbian. I spent $100 at sephora and now have 2 sweater dresses. And I promise I'll actually wear my Galaxy leggings. I've been lurking on the Fashion Thread, too, but some things I do not understand.

Morning y'all.

It's a new day. I still feel bummed about being dumped yesterday but one of the benefits of living in a college town is that there are a lot of cute, smart women around. Even if most of them are younger than me by a few years. Maybe they'll find my full-time work, already-graduated ways exciting and exotic.

Dating is still a total crapshoot but whatever, what else is a person gonna do?

I don't really have many up to date photos of myself so I asked a female photographer friend to take some for me that I could use for a dating site profile. I told myself I wouldn't use dating sites again, but after two years of dating solely by meeting people in the real world I'm starting to see the benefits of online dating -- it gives you more information about a person up-front and you can talk with them before ever hanging out, to get to know them more and see if you think it's even worth pursuing. Real-life, well, you gotta give people a chance. The first time you meet them and ask them out, you probably don't know much about them.
