How is it that I am able to log on and look at my feed, yet FA insists that "this user has voluntarily disabled their account" at the same time?

I disabled my account for a few days in December, but got back on no problem. I can add to my watch list, fave submissions, and comment just fine. Yet, I can't look at or edit my profile, and people can't add me, because FA still shows that I've deleted my account.

The hell?

I have decided against taking woodburning commissions for money.

That's because I will be working on them exclusively as gifts for family and friends. The way I think of it, everyone who contributed bought themselves a commission from me, and I intend on fulfilling every single one of them. So, by way of thanks, I am setting up my woodburning station for the sole purpose of making gifts for those that supported us. It's the only way I can think of that would truly represent my gratitude.

If you want one, send me an email (thrashbearATyahoo.com) with a pic of the person/pet you want made into a woodburning, if you want any text or dates on it, and a mailing address to send it to. I can't guarantee Christmas delivery, but I can say I will do my best.

*hugs you all*

As mentioned earlier, Commander Kitsune set us up with some new desktops to replace the ones that were lost in the fire. I am networked with Ash's system and hooked up to a printer; a first in over a year.

What this means is that with a smidge of extra work on my part, I can finally be properly set up for pyrography again. Since my woodburner survived the fire, I am seriously considering setting up a workstation and taking on some woodburned portrait commissions in time for Christmas delivery. My hope is that the new mentality will help me actually get them done in time this go-around.

I've already set aside some basswood and will mill up some 6 x 8 planks tomorrow at work. I figure I can do ten super-detailed portraits of pets or people in the next six weeks. The deposits will go a long way towards getting me set up in my new place.

I'll make a proper announcement with prices as soon as I can.

It's been a little more than a week since the fire and we're already making the climb up and out. Sleeping arrangements have been made, workspace is being negotiated, clothes are gotten, necessities procured. Commander Kitsune gave each of us new computers to replace the ones we lost in the fire. Things are coalescing and looking up.

Big, fat, sloppy teddybear hugs to everyone who has offered their support and encouragement. I'll share more later when the English language evolves enough that properly expresses my gratitude :)

Truth be told, mostly because I find them yiffy. When I'm not in that mood, I've been known to still wear because they are comfortable.

Not nearly as often as I used to, maybe once a month. Not from lack of resources, just lack of desire.

Oh yeah. The landlord wasn't to happy about that ;)

20. Do you ever pour water in your diaper for the fun of it?
Yup, though it doesn't quite feel the same.

21. do you do the cub look (meaning do you shave down there)
Ye gods, no! I haven't shaved down there in years. I tried it several times and it just wasn't for me.
