I’ve been waiting for something special to add to this pic by Lanny. Now I feel I got it.
Today is the first Thanksgiving I’ve spent 100% by myself. My Seeing Eye Dog, Buddy, is with me but no immediate family as a result of lacking time off from work, which I return to tomorrow, along with my son having a chance to finally see his cousins, on his mother’s side, who live 5 hours away.
This really bummed me out a few weeks ago. However I got something really special last night that I did not expect at all. This was an entire Thanksgiving dinner brought to me by my closest co-worker friends! They all pooled together and got me everything one could ever want for Thanksgiving and it is in my fridge ready to be eaten later today.
Upon waking up this morning, I thought on how thankful I am for my ‘Extended Family’. For all of you who have been there for me over the last 11 years. Your inclusion of Yosh in your work has brought me so much joy when otherwise there would appear to be only sadness. Most of what I have gone through is summarized in my post about the finale of ‘Friendship Is Magic’. So I will say that, if you’d like to see an adorable picture of Spike, please look back a few entries in my gallery for all the details.
Now back to what Lanny has here. Yosh is having carefree fun with his characters along with those created by Mikey and Lucca. Everyone in this picture is someone I’ve connected with, developed art and stories with, and have shared in many slice of life moments that were positive, negative, and neutral.
The joy of this image is what so many of you have done for me. This being to provide a wonderful lifetime of great moments in friendship for Yosh. Most know that Yosh is my personal avatar. He was created from my love of Nintendo’s Yoshi and Land Before Time’s Ducky. The name was derived from a book you could buy on Neopets entitled ‘Scorch E O’.
No matter how tough things may seem in my real life, I always can fall back on the super-happy memories you’ve all built for Yosh. You’ve all given him someone to play with at various ages, worlds, and timelines. Each of you have found a place of your own for him and it brings me so much joy knowing that I am a worthy friend to be a part of your creativity. Yosh may have a lot of characteristics taken from myself but he is primarily the collection of designs, friends, adventures, and interactions with each of you over all these years. I look forward to how much further our friendships will enhance upon those times and places Yosh is fortunate enough to join you in.
So I thank you all for being an ‘extended family’ to my lil’ quacker, Yosh. However, on this American day for giving thanks, I want you all to know how truly grateful I am for your friendships. How can I ever be alone when I have so many friends out there who have stuck with me for all these years? It is my goal to always show each of you my appreciation for your kindness while paying all in which you’ve done for me back while also doing to newcomers as you did for me in 2008. This giving me a much needed sense of acceptance, understanding, empowerment, and community.

It was cute how they did it. I was on my way home on the bus and got a call from the one Buddy really likes, but not his number 1 girlfriend. She asked me to not get mad and said they were on their way with Thanksgiving dinner. I told them I would not get mad, humbly accept, and we had some great conversation away from the ugh of work.
Oh, Leon. I do hope you know how much you mean to me as a friend. Our friendship has been a most inspiring one and seeing you grow to where you made it to BronyCon makes me feel so happy for you. Plus it was extra awesome to know we can at least say we met IRL.
Last note is that I saw on Plinkers journal that you have a commission with her? I look forward to seeing it. (If it is missing any description upon release, could I trouble you for a description?)

Oh, yay! Work had gotten so nuts that I fell terribly behind on FiM Fiction letters and had thought you had disappeared.
*Snugs* I'm glad you are still around and, now that I know this, I hope to write you over on FiM again soon.
I hope you had a great turkey day, too. Gabby-Gabby-Gaboo!

*Crinklesnugs* Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Tacki. More notably, I am thankful for you as it was seeing you that brought me here in the first place.
Golly, I still remember how you were my first 'Shout' and how nervous I was to reply to you. *Quacks nervously as he fiddles his fingers*
Much has happened over the years and I'm glad we can continue to share in our journeys.

*Crinklesnugs in warm minky jammies* Good to ar from you, Ozzie. I have genuinely meant to catch up with you!
Something I forgot to add is how, if I truly recall, Tavi gave Yosh feathers at about the same time as Lucca. The pic he did of our characters sitting and talking, if I recall right, showed noticeable feather-fluff on his cheeks.
I've also found that sticking with North Shore is best for affordable padding. The discount codes, now that I know you can look them up on Google, are super-duper helpful and the prices for pamps that aren't weak are quite good. Though their own brand sizing is rough and I've learned to always go a size up. Though this could be due to how I really like to feel the fluff compared to just 'wearing a diaper'. *Blush*

*crinklesnugs* Hehe, yeah, you are part ducky after all. That fluff looks cute on you.
I've always went with XP Medical, but other places will offer better deals every now and then. I've even ordered some off Amazon before when I found better prices there. I prefer them to be thick and super absorbent most of the time, but there are times I need to be more discreet with them. Like when visiting family. Hehe

I'm glad Tavi and Lucca suggested how to give Yosh feathers. It makes him truly into a dino-duck hybrid.
XP Medical? I may have heard of them. I discovered North Shore when looking for 'Dotty The Pony'. Those diapers definitely hold but are not anywhere near as discrete as the more affordable, and deffective, North Shore Briefs.
<LoL!> I always get a giggle over how adult diapers are called 'briefs'. Maybe it is because you will only be able to wear them briefly? *Giggles*

Hehe, yeah, its a cute feature. ^^
Yeah, www.xpmedical.com They're not an AB\DL website, but they do tend to have good prices on padding.
*giggles* That's to respect an incontinent adult's dignity. Briefs, as in underwear.

<LoL!> I suppose that is a good reason to call them 'briefs'. Though a name is just a name and, as hard as it is for some, one really must find acceptance of themselves and their situation as a change in a name doesn't change what it is. *Shrugs*
As I lost all my sight, I struggled with 'adaptive tools' and 'Braille'. It all felt so... blarf. Though it is what it is and, unless a miracle happens, I'll be doing things with no vision until I go to that big nest in the sky.
I just feel awful for how so many people are 'shamed' by things out of their control. I was shamed so much by society, particularly employers, to where I built up such a 'jaded' emotion that I just don't care anymore. I know I do a good job and nothing changes the quality of my work in spite of dealing with feigned ignorance. Though, in the least, I hope my actions will help those in the next generation from dealing with all the negative energy society has placed upon those of us who just want to feel 'welcome' over seen as incapable along with to be hidden from view.
I think what truly tipped my concern on diapers was my wife leaving me. A diaper is a diaper and I like wearing diapers. They are comfortable, relaxing, and get me into a happy head space when I'm not trying to muddle through an imaginary life. (Imaginary as in I need to visualize everything or it all looks the same. Nothing bad.)
*Crinklesnugs* I hope you do not feel your true need for padding destroys your dignity, Ozzie. You seem like too good a person to let something you can't control make you feel like less a friend and contributing part of this world.

Awww, so its all just "dark" now? I have to say, you are handling it better than I would. I am glad you are so strong though. It is inspiring. ^^
A diaper is comforting for me as well. Its protection against accidents, which I actually have, and its a very babyish feeling. That's a feeling that truly gets people like us in a safe head space when we need it.
*crinklesnugs* No worries, I don't feel that way. I just see it as a sort of gift almost. Through all my life I wanted to be able to wear them as much as possible. Now I can, although the cost is high. That is the only limiting factor now.

*Reassuring nuzzles* I know what you mean, my friend. *Pats gently at your crinkly bottom before pulling in for a hug*
For me, going blind had a number of positives. Most of these cost related along with not always losing time off to attend appointments. Though to not see really does stink. So many things I hear about and want to see. Plus, and this may sound silly, I still try to find 'cute' things to comfort myself even though I'll never personally see the designs.
I do find it interesting how you and I have shared similar outcomes with our careers as a result of so many things beyond our control. I'm sure you, like I, have good days and bad days. Most bad days are when I find as powerless in my 'adult self'. I see problems and want to solve them. Especially as it seems a lot of wrong is happening in my workplace. Though I feel all I'm doing is setting myself up to be shot in the foot. Oh, well, though. All the same I would have shot my foot in the name of what I believe to be ethically right for customers and colleagues.
Perhaps, if you are interested, we can start some PMs again? You are always fun to talk to and my lousy screen reader gets upset with pages that are too heavy with data. (Kind of like diaper tapes struggling to hold up a soggy diaper that one can wiggle about between their legs like a pendulum)

*nuzzles and hugs* Yeah, cute things are comforting to me as well. I could describe some to you if you ever need.
That's true, though at least you are still employed. At this point, even if I could, I don't think I could mentally handle working again. Too much has made me very paranoid about working and money. Besides, I have enough to worry about with my health and everything else going on.
Sure! I'd love to start up our PMs again. You are fun to talk to as well, and I always wonder how you are doing. ^^

Five days late... Oh dear! I'm so sorry Yosh. I didn't notice that this drawing has a great story behind related to thanksgiving and simply left it to check later.
What a really amazing story that you tell. it seems that despite all the hard things, life has treated you pretty good and it's great that you feel thankful. You know my posture about religion, but being thankful to the others is something that I've always considered really important. I have also to thank for helping me to see another side of things. I don't know if that would be possible without you and other friends. This has been really a hard year for me, you know why, but I'm trying my best to find some light in the middle of the storm.
Very very late happy thanksgiving Yosh. Also, really cute and curious drawing

I believe we all are here on this site for the same reason. This reason is to find a sign of hope in a world that may seem unkind.
This picture was made by my good friend, landonbay. I try to always find a way to take art Yosh is in to make stories. If not a story, I will write my thoughts on life. Kind of like the way Twilight once wrote letters to Princess Celestia to share what she has learned after understanding how a series of events brought her to a new understanding.
landonbay has a strong talent in art that, to me, is like yours. You both are wonderful friends who share what makes you happy to make your art while talking about all the hard work you put into getting better.
It is being able to 'feel' your love for your work that brings me so much joy. You describe so much in your descriptions. Like Lanny, I 'feel' a story coming to life when I review your work. This makes me 100% forget I am without eyesight and, once more, am fortunate to have vision to see.
I have learned a lot from you and I am very happy to know you as a friend, sweetie. I look forward to whatever you write, or draw, next.
