Have had my car for 15 1/2 years now with no major issues. Had the oil changed a couple weeks ago, where they are supposed the check all the fluids...if they did or not, I don't know.

Yesterday while was on the way home from shopping, the car said it was overheating. Got home and checked the coolant dip stick, barely had one drop at the very end. Pulled it out again this afternoon to put more coolant in (to see if it would help), and the stick was completely dry.
Got almost a gallon of coolant poured into the car, and could just hear it draining out on the driveway. Thought I might have just overfilled it, so took it on a short drive just to check it.
Not even a 10 minute drive, and the temp was getting up near the red.

So now my single owner 15 year old Camaro is at the dealership to be checked out. $235 just to diagnose the issues...and if they need to replace something, who know how long it would take to get the parts and how much it will cost..

So much fun and stress...had to vent..

So, I used some rewards points from work, got amazon gift cards, and ordered a resin printer...the Saturn 4 12k ultra...bundled with UV cure station, and wash

and I don't even qualify as a beginner yet (and it is not here yet)

so many questions

what is the best safe and reliable place I can get free/cheap stl files to practice with?

where would be good places to get furry/wolf/werewolf stl files? Blaid, Sif, Holo, etc.

I have no idea if the printer comes with a program to view/edit stl files...if not, what would be the best computer program?

I'm sure there are a hundred more things to ask, but don't even know where to begin

thank you for any help/advice!



also...any links to stl files that you really enjoyed?

is anyone else reading this manga, The Fox & Little Tanuki by Mi Tagawa?

it may be just rated 'Youth 10+', but the story is a bit heart-tugging

really, REALLY, love the art...so pretty

6 volumes out...just wondering if anyone else has read it?

I enjoy books...really enjoy reading...almost any kind of fiction, fantasy, sci-fi

wolves?

yes please

I always want more books

I have no room for more books..

just had to put this out there

thought that was an interesting title for a book...then there was a lady on the cover with a ghostly wolf face over her reflection...so I thought I would buy it...didn't even read the inside of the jacket to get an idea of the story...I just enjoy collecting different books

it has been a fun book to read...very enjoyable with all the lonely, friendless kids in the lonely mirror castle...even guessed one part of the story before it happened..


wow...could NOT have guessed the rest of the ending...just...wow...and still have a few pages to go



want to hug the Wolf Queen..

*goes to finish*


Edit: finished...and yep...another fun 'wow' moment...the ending definitely tugs at the heartstrings

love this song for some reason

of another picture again..
I get these moods and ideas...and just want..

front view of the pink kitty, from the shoulders up...a special guy behind her, seen over her shoulder, leaning in and kissing the side of her neck oh so tenderly...one of his hands around her, lightly touching her chin to tilt her head back and to the side a little...her eyes closed, and maybe her mouth open slightly in a quiet gasp..

sorry..just had to let it out..

for a picture idea..

upper corner illustration close-up of packaging info: "remote control tool: let your guy know how you feel about him hogging the remote as you stick it up his @$$...now with a flexible silicone tip"

main picture with male character bent over looking under couch cushions,"now where is that remote?" while lady character sneaks up behind him wearing a strap-on with the remote inside the dildo, paws out like she's going to pull down his drawers "just a little closer now.."

sorry for the very long post...mostly reference material for kitty, so don't have to read...although, if you are really bored, maybe it would be interesting..don't know..

after adopting the elfane character, kitty wanted to make an updated list of kitty's characters...so much has changed...
have a lot of art of the pink kitty of course...and would really love more art of the others...especially the elfane and the others that haven't been drawn at all yet..


first of course would be kitty's main character: Kitty of Flame (Kayra)
she originally showed up in the City of Heroes game, and was kitty's first level 50 character...from there she just evolved into the character she is now:
description:
mostly pink kitten, age 24, barely reaching 5 foot tall..95 lbs...C-cup size breasts...very light pink fur inside her ears and on her muzzle, stopping at a point down her neck...same light pink starting as a heart shape over her chest and trailing down between her legs, then up over her bottom in another heart shape pattern...no light pink on the inside of her thighs...red hair that hangs down to the base of her long, slim tail...bright blue eyes, cat-like slit pupils...lavender nose...likes to wear white and hot pink cuffs on her paws, ankles, and tail almost always...
two layer collar with D-ring in the center...2 inch light pink leather underneath a 1 and 1/2 inch hot pink leather strap, 6 white jewels along the front of the collar, three on each side of the ring...a heart shaped tag, same hot pink color as the collar...the word 'Kitty' in black letters on the front of the tag...

second would be another of kitty's favorite characters: Hellfire Pouncer
she also originally showed up in the City of Heroes game, quickly reaching level 50 and becoming kitty's favorite character...even favored over Kitty of Flame for the game play:
description:
Female orange tiger with black stripes. 4 feet, 3 inches tall, age of 30, and 85lbs. C-cup size breasts. Dark red gloves that reach her elbows and matching stockings on her digigrade legs, both wrapped in bone ribwork. From her back, large wings with bone-like fingers. The dark red webbing between the bony fingers hangs in tatters, holes throughout but not stopping her from flying. Her eyes a bright yellow color, with feline black slits for the pupil. Long brown hair hangs down her back to her waist, stopping just above her tail.

think that is it for now...will probably come back later and add more info sometime...along with personalities for each
have plenty of kitty...but would love pictures of all the other characters eventually...will just take time

trying to build up a small collection of info for the Elfane species in general..and info on Fire Elfanes too
pretty much all the info here is copy and pasted from posts made by  Ajna...the elfans species were created by her and only used with permission




picture mentioned and info comes from this picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3488503/
some general notes:
This is ONE character portrayed in each Elfane sub-type. The markings that he has are NOT universal. You can change the markings however you want. Males have STRIPES, females have SPOTS. Spots AND stripes can be seen on more androgynous Elfane. Not all Elfane have these markings. The character pictured here is an Aetherian Elfane(previously known as the angelic Elfane). The Chiropterian Elfane(previously known as the vampire or bat Elfane) would have fangs and horns instead of a halo, and the wings would be more bat-like instead of bird-like.
The hair style is generic. Most Elfane prefer longer hair.

Additional Elfane notes:
Their sclera is colored. The color of the sclera depends on their iris color. The pupils are always either black, or a very dark shade of their iris color. Pupils are slit like a feline in bright light.
Females only develop breasts during pregnancy. They usually fade once use has been stopped, though it isn't uncommon for a female Elfane to retain her breasts for many years after birth. They tend to be on the smaller side.
The Elfane are always digitigrade and are small. The tallest Elfane would be about 5'5". That would be considered "quite tall" to them. "Quite short" would be around 3.5". Anything inbetween is accepted as "normal".
Mating between two different Elements results in a Neutral Elfane. There are NO mixed Element Elfane.





Kitty went around trying to collect as much information as possible about the elfane species created by  Ajna...this is more info copy and pasted from a journal

How do they differ from other species?

So far they don't differ much from other species, but I'm trying to change this. Their build is like a cross between a fox and cat. They're shorter than the average human, they're usually digitigrade, and of course they have magic powers. The males have far less power than the females, and shorter tails.

So they guys have stripes, and the girls have dots?

Yes, the males usually have stripes, and the females usually have spots. A mixture of the two(spots and stripes) can be used on either a male or female, but a male can never have just spots and a female can never have just stripes.

Do their elements make a difference in appearance?

So far, the only effect their element has on their appearance is the color of their tail tip and markings. I want to somehow change their appearances more depending on their power, but I don't want them to look TOO different.

Can they have two elements?

No, they only have one element.

Do all of them have wings?

Yes, they all have wings which grow as they age, but they can use their powers to hide them to look more "normal" if need be. The Elfane are split in two. Birds and bats, basically. Their goddesses created them the way they wanted. The "angel" Elfane are created to be more birdlike, and the "demon" Elfane are more vampire bat like. The bird Elfane have feathered wings, which are white until they lose their virginity, which then change colors to match their fur. They also have halos. The bat Elfane have bat wings, longer fangs, and grow horns when then lose their virginity.

Why are their tails so puffy and long?

Two reasons for the fluffy tails. The males have smaller tails than the females, but still quite fluffy. This is because they live in a forest that is cold-climate. It helps keep them warm. The females tails are so long because it holds their power. If a females tail were to be cut off, she'd be just as weak as a male, maybe more, as far as powers go. The Elfane are not very strong as far as muscles, so they rely on their magic a lot. They do have very strong legs, though. They can run, jump and kick very well. The females tails are also prehensile, so they can grab someone and lift them, or they can wrap their tail around a tree branch and hang from it. The males tail is prehensile as well, but not nearly strong enough to do things that the female can.



Another big change I made is on the females. They do NOT have breasts unless they're pregnant or nursing a child. Otherwise they are smooth chested like males.
I want them to be quite animal-like, and animals only have breasts when their offspring need them. When they are pregnant, their breasts never get much larger than a large B or small C.
The whole species is meant to be quite androgynous. The males have wider hips like the females. The females like to grow their hair long, the males usually keep it short, but it's quite common to see a male with long hair as well. Also, an Elfane is never worried about being called "gay" for the way he or she acts. They have no rules on how feminine a female or masculine a male should be. Males are accepted if they have long hair and wear beads. (Elfane love beads)




The Fire Elfane have very long fur and their accent color is red. Their fur may be longer than pictured, but never shorter. Their body temperature is closer to that of a human, which allows them to live comfortably in their thick fur. The long fur helps to dissipate body heat, keeping them cool. Fire Elfane tend to be stronger in physical combat than other Elfane. Fire Elfane decorate themselves with darker rocks, coal, wood carved ornaments.
