I said Oh, ok fine. Then I started refunding every. Single. Charge. One by one. I got an email back within the hour that the funds were magically being released. Because back then, paypal had to refund their fees as well.
Amazing how quickly they move when it's *their* money being taken back.

I had paypal try to do that once when I was doing a big sale online. They were trying to freeze the funds to "investigate" but the phone rep couldn't give me a solid reason why, or even an estimation when the funds would be released. Those funds including shipping costs.

LOL our old man cat Mishka does this to me. Will sneak up, lay down on my arm, and just purr/demand snuggles.
My friend says it's Supervisor reminding me to take my Union Mandated Cat Snuggle Break. Looks like you have a fantastic Supervisor there ;)

Yeeeesh. Yeah, no, time to go on an outside adventure little friend. Domestic rattys are friends, wild rats need to stay in their own home and not be uninvited room-mates.

Go baby girl go!!!
It's incredibly fitting that this sweet queen, named after a literal goddess of healing, protection & war, is kicking butt & being one of a kind. SO dang happy for you Kiki!♡♡♡♡♡ May her recovery continue until she is safe at home, living her best life!

Willows are tough, so he might come back in the spring & be ok. Will have to wait & see.
Looks like I'll have a lot of baby willow cuttings at my dealer table at AC this year.
If you want one, swing by. I'll be giving them away for free, in hopes that he lives on & brings other folks joy♡

Maybe an odd question, but...
We have strictly indoor cats, but 2 dogs that go potty outside. Been wiping their paws when they come in. Anything else we should be doing with canine family to avoid them tracking in crud to the cats? Or is that not as much of a concern vector wise?

Fffffffff.

Hah. I have a 3d printed faceplate I've been meaning to turn into a furby monstrosity. Just need to decide if I'm going long furb, or some sort of eldritch creature.

Our state is losing every single store. :(

All ten in my state are closing. I'm SO disappointed! This only leaves Michaels, which has sucked price and coupon wise since they bought out AC Moores, and Hateful Lobby, where I refuse to spend a dime.

First though?
Omfg that's absolutely gorgeous. What an incredible piece!
Second thought?
.....that had to be *terrifying* to ship, omg.

The original artist's redbubble page is www.redbubble.com/people/spook... & they have some absurdly cute stickers for sale. Y'all should check them out!

Love this. The colors, the movement, and just the whole vibe♡

I kind of figured that was it. The whole thing is just ridiculous and stupid. The party of telling on themselves needs to stop being so damn concerned with the contents of other folk's pants and mind their own business.

So. Legit question because I keep hearing about this. How/why are they pushing for under *19*??? 18 is a legal adult in every state. It makes no sense!
It's awful no matter the age, but this just makes my brain go "Wha?"

Ok, I have to ask. *Where* did you manage to find a Lyme vaccine? I keep joking with our vet "Hey, hypothetically, what would the dosage be for a *dog* that weighs X amount?"
I live in tick/Lyme hell, and hate the little monsters.

Art is what helped humans develop as a species! Most folks I know are thankful for a little break from the doom and awfulness. Don't give up or feel bad for sharing your thoughts and creative works, it's what helps create bright spots when things feel dark.

My Doc perscribed Naproxen and 800mg ibuprofen. The kid unfortunately also has severe pain, and their primary has them on progesterone. Stopped the cycles cold, and they rejoiced in being pain free monthly. If yours are that bad, might be an option worth looking into?

Oh man, I have one of your raptor casts from waaaaay back. You do gorgeous birds. Is this straight avian or are you leaning gryphon with this one?

I'm sorry you have to deal with this bs.

No worries, and I'm so sorry. I hate that copyright law that deals w/ international cases is so flimsy. It's infuriating seeing the work of artists ripped off like that.
