It's telling me there is one submission in my inbox, but there isn't one there when I check. O.o

I suppose I should try the mandatory sign out and back in again.

Back in september/october I found a bike abandoned in a local church yard, dumped in some bushes, so me being me picked it up, repaired it, and today put it on ebay to sell it to get it out of my way cause I was getting fed up of having to keep moving it out of the shed. I didn;t think much of it, as I have always found bikes dumped in town, repaired them, sold them.

However I receive a message from an ebay user asking if I was confident about how I acquired it as his son had one stolen exactly like it back in september. So I told the truth, that it was found dumped in the church yard with some bad damage.

His son was browsing ebay and spotted my ad.

So we are meeting up at a local corner shop tomorrow evening so they can look it over.

Now after reading the title you may be asking yourself "why is their a US Helicopter here in England?" Well. not too far from my home is a US air base called RAF Lakenheath.

It appears one of their helicopters was on exercise of the coast about half an hour from me when it came down on land.

I keep seeing the polarvortex in the news, just be safe if you are in it's path!

Lets hope 2014 is a better year for all of us.

It seems like a majority of my friends, acquaintances and family have had a shitty 2013 in one way or another. In fact I think it's been the worst year for everyone in a long time. It's a year I am glad to see the back of now.

Here's to hoping 2014 is a much better year for everyone!

Anyone having issues uploading pics to FA? I keep getting an error message that says Failed to write to disc.

I have a few. The main one is too STOP eating sweet foods. It's not doing me any good as I am type 2 diabetic. I have a small tray of assorted cookies left which I got for Christmas and once it's gone that's. I am also going to cut back on the amount of sauce I put on my meals. I am a bit of a sauce nut and love various sauces and condiments, which is NOT good for diabetes either. Believe it or not many condiments contain sugar.

I also want exercise more and get on my bike more. I need to shed some weight.

What are you all planning for new years eve/day?

As usual I'll probably be at mums. Nothing interesting really, I'm not the party type. lol

Two days before Christmas we received news that a dear family friend had passed away on the 7th of December. All I know is, his neighbours had not seen or heard anything from him for three days so went in to see if he was okay and they found him laying at home dead. Cause of death I am not certain of, we know he had a dicky heart so I am assuming at this point that a heart attack was the likely cause.

I have known him since the day I could walk and talk. It shocked mum and had her in tears.

Funeral is next friday and I plan to go with mum.

Mum finally found a house to rent and we spent at least a month fixing it up. It needed carpets throughout, new kitchen and redecorating, however the landlord supplied the kitchen and paint and wavered the deposit for all the work we did. So, I now have my apartment all back to myself!

Christmas! As always I'll be spending it at mums so wont be online much for a few days at least over Christmas. Not that I have been very active on her for the past several months anyway. However I do plan to change that in the new year!

Well I kinda agree with their new spam rules.

I've never been the type to go after free art. I am the sort of person that thinks that if I don't have the money to buy something, I don't get it, simple. I don't enter raffles much, in fact very rarely, though I have won one of the few I have entered.

Now, the raffles many artists hold do spam the inboxes of users. Sometimes I'd log in to FA and find a bunch of them in a row from the same user posting journals to different raffles. Which can be quite annoying. However, Tamara made a very good point, it does gain an artist some watchers.

The only thing is, I feel it can also gain an artist watchers for the wrong reasons. There are furries in the fandom that do whatever they can to obtain free art. Which means if they come across an artist holding raffles on a regula or semi-regular basis they will watch that artist just to try to get free art.

Personally I am more inclined to watch an artist based on two factors. 1: if I like their style. 2: Quality of their work. An artist doesn't have to tick both boxes either, just one.

Feel free to discus and drop in your views. :)

To me!

Yep another year older.

Just hit 30.

For new avatar! :D

I have been pretty quiet lately. This is mostly down to RL issues that have been A: Keeping me busy and B: Getting me down at the same time.

But! Things should improve over the next couple months or so.

Current situation has stressed me out so much my psoriasis has flared up like fuck so I am now practically covered head to foot in a red, itchy, annoying rash. I have seen a GP and she referred me to a dermatologist as urgent as I have been scratching so much I have made my legs sore and bleed. Which isn't ordinarily a big issue, but it is for someone with diabetes as we are more prone to infection which could lead to other complications. I have an appointment on the 6th of November to see a dermatologist.

Housing situation with my mom still has not changed. She and her partner and my brother are still here which has, by no fault of their own, caused me extra problems regarding my rent. But it will be sorted, things don't happen over night. But it has stressed mom out too and she feels responsible. In fact it isn't anyone's fault. I was blaming the local benefit agency that paid my rent (as I don;t work and currently can not work due to health reasons) who stopped my benefits because mom and co had moved in.

I don;t know how many outside of the UK have heard about it, but the south end of England and Wales is due to be hit by a huge storm Monday and I am right in it's path, well, I am unless it suddenly decides to change it's course half way across the south part of England.

There is a lot of reports and updates about it in the media.

So according to London MET police, cracking down on homelessness is taking away a homeless persons sleeping bag, blankets and food.


This is appalling.

Just been wondering if anyone who watches me is into classic cars/vehicles.

I'm an admin on this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/314383782041217/

Classic Car Grave Yard. There is only me as an admin and the groups owner. His rules are simple, no links to be posted, to anywhere, he doesn't trust links for some reason. And only classic vehicles in a state of disrepair, rusty relics etc etc are allowed on this group. Why? because we have a sister group.

For classic cars in restored and good shape, or show pics: https://www.facebook.com/groups/346164442183106/

Reason we split the two was because so many FB groups of the same thing allow both to be posted on the one group and one I am on is just flooded with nice cars when it is meant to be more scrap yard finds orientated. It just spread too much from what it was about originally. I don't mind but I like how my boss decided to have two groups to keep it separate.

Well,  Tamara got us a spot each in a group picture drawn by  toddlergirl It's an awesome pic: However as it has multiple characters involved I didn't deem it fair to upload it to my FA. So I am going to link it here for anyone to have a look if you so wish. :)

I think me and Tamara look adorable as cubs.

This is a post I copy/pasted from FB.

"Lol the great British public, everyone is scum I would send them home too but wonder how many people who are writing on this forum, Work for a living and some of the spelling is so bad it scares me your allowed too breed."

So this dude is basically implying that those who can't spell are thick scum. Yet when I read his post I can see 5 grammar mistakes in his own post.

1. There should be a period after scum.
2. There should be an I between but and wonder.
3: there is a comma after forum which isn't necessary.
4: There is a capital W on work which also shouldn't be there.
5: It should be either "you're allowed to breed" or "you are allowed to breed"

I just found number six. Technically "The" at the very start should have a capital T as it starts the post.

I got a D in English at school. My spelling and grammar is not great but I will say it is better than this guy. It makes me laugh that this guy is having a dig at people who misspell words when his own grammar is total fail.

I have just been reading this article: http://rt.com/news/chemical-aleppo-.....gs-russia-417/ If said article is true then it would appear the Syrian government were telling the truth and are not responsible for using chemical weapons.

Now, I feel that Obama and Cameron are both war mongering pricks that are always up for a war. I think president Putin has been very sensible in this by being against any military action until solid hard evidence had been found to link the Syrian government to the chemical attack.

What I personally think happened was, the rebels made the chemical bomb, whether it was aimed at the Syrian government or not is unknown. I think maybe the rebels did it deliberately in the vain hope the Syrian government would get the blame for it and countries such as America and Britain will take military action against their government.

Of course, that is just my theory, I could of course be wrong.

Sadly, they passed away this morning after a crow attacked the nest.

I thought I knew one of my best friend well, turns out I don't.

Mike is not his real name, I just used a random name to make explaining this easier.

A couple weeks ago one of his best friends was collecting his motor cycles from his yard after storing them there for mike for a good two years. I thought it was odd that his friend was suddenly collecting them so I asked him why and he replied "We had a falling out, we are no longer friends" I asked what happened and he wouldn't tell me. I'm not one to push to get information, if they feel it's personal and private that is fine by me, so I left it at that.

Tonight my sister (well half sister to be precise but I refer to her as sister cause to me, she is) who was dating my best friend (and had been for the past four years but broke up a month ago) has just told me the reason my best friend fell out with mike is because my friend was sleeping with mikes wife and got caught in bed. According to my sister my best friend was sleeping with mikes wife while they were still together.

In all honesty I never thought my best friend was the type to do something like that. Usually I don't listen to hear say, even from family, but when I witnessed my friends reactions to mine and his conversation a couple weeks ago it does actually explain a lot. And my sister has said he admitted it to her anyway after mike told my sister what happened.

I'm not going to fall out with my friend over it cause A: It's not business anyway and B: I ain't that much of a jerk. I disagree with his actions but I think the fact he lost a good friend and his family (my sister and kids) is enough punishment anyway.

Now we have no money, no food either. It's ridiculous that between three of us with an income we have no fucking money.

Actually, we would have if I hadn't loaned moms partner gas and cig money yesterday and loaned mom money so she could go to Bingo. She says she doesn't spend money at Bingo yet every time I get paid she always borrows from me, I haven't figured that out yet.

As for moms BF.....Lets spend four nights at the pub and spend what little money he has. Despite needing money for gas to get into work, food, cigs etc, no, lets spend the lot in the fucking pub and let everyone else suffer.

Common sense should dictate that when you need to get into work it's a good idea to save some fucking money, not spend the fucking lot on booze just to be pain in the arse when he comes home.


I don;t want too, but I may have to kick em all out cause I really can not handle this shit anymore.

For the past couple weeks I have had issues regarding the welfare I receive to pay my council tax and rent on my home.

As you may all be aware, my mother, her partner and my brother have been staying here on and off for the past ten weeks as they have no home of their own (thanks to the benefits department at the council fucking it up for them).

First I receive a letter from Council Tax a couple weeks ago saying "We have received information that you may not be the tenant at this address anymore" and then they sent one to my mom wanting her to pay a council tax bill on MY home. Then sent me a form to fill out wanting to know when I moved, if my furnature is still here blahblahblah.

We contact them more than once to tell them I have NOT moved anywhere and that they are only here a few nights a week.

Then housing benefits send me a letter saying it's suspended because mom and her partner are here and they believe them to be staying her permanently. Again we contact them and explain the situation.

Today housing benefits send me yet another letter asking for my mums total income, her partners total income so they can adjust my housing benefit claim.

WHAT THE FUCK? How many fucking times have we got to tell them they are NOT fucking living with me. In fact you can only pay council tax on a property you own or rent in your name. They also do not stay here long enough each week to be put on the benefit claim for housing benefit.

To top it off they are now sending my brother letters doing the same fucking thing to him.

Seriously my council department are fucking as thick as two short planks, in fact that is insulting to the planks.

Not from me, but go here to enter the raffle!
