Isolated BDSM Blurts: Facehugger Fetish

[gracie920101]

My friend wants us to do craft fairs this fall to sell fall/Halloween and Christmas stuff. But I have no idea what to make, and it takes me so long to make anything that I'm not going to have much of a selection, I'm afraid.

I've had good luck with clear glass or plastic ornaments that I fill with curled craft paper and a half teaspoon of glitter. (Remember to hot glue the top on so all the glitter stays in!) There is everything imaginable in scrapbook paper and it's not too expensive. Think dogs,cats, sports, local school colors, etc.
I sold out of pink and blue filled ones that I had written " 1st Christmas" and the year. $5 or 3/$10. I hot glued a bit of lace/ribbon/tiny cloth rose buds for accents around the top and putting one together takes less than an hour. At the craft fair, I had several colors of glass pens available so I could personalize if requested. It was a lot of fun!

Oh, that's a good idea! Thank you!

On my way to a funeral. I feel like I should be sadder, like how I feel isn’t appropriate. Sigh.

Funerals are difficult.
We are always told that everyone grieves in their own way and that any way you feel is ok to feel. Then suddenly at the funeral, we are all supposed to be very publicly grieving the right way and to exactly the right degree.

One of the things my father got right when I grew up, was at my grandmother’s (his mother’s) funeral, as I was ashamed of being unable to control my ugly crying.
He pointed out that the rest were all doped up on Valium to be able to be there and I should just feel what I felt at the time and not care about the rest of them.
I still wish large hats with black veils were still in style.

I always found it easy to understand Alma Mahler’s refusal to visit funerals and at the same time, I don’t get it at all.

 

[twister947]

I go to as few funerals as I feel like I can get away with. Coronavirus has proven convenient.

It’s J’s mom’s funeral, finally. It’s been so long since she passed away that it just feels weird to have the funeral now. People have moved on from the biggest shock and this is now stirring up a lot of emotions, except not in me. I feel like such a jerk amidst everyone. Oh well.

It’s true though, everyone has their own way to grieve and one isn’t better than the other, in theory at least.

Oh, that is a long time!

Yes, different ways to grieve and different relationships.

A relative of mine went missing a few years ago and under a bit strange and dramatic circumstances was found dead with a lot of practical dealings to handle.
Several of the involved used me as a sounding board in the process and talked about how calm and collected I was about it compared to siblings and cousins with theoretically the same relationship/distance to him.
It’s just that I think I met him about 3 times total, for geographical and timing reasons but also because I was the girl, I think. I was sorry for those who were close and for the sad circumstances, but I can’t say I even knew the man or that I grieved.

 

[IrisAlthea]

Deadline made!

Leaving yourself wiggle room by getting ready early is for wimps, right?

 

[twister947]

Daytime highs are still blistering, but the morning lows are creeping downward. 20 is the magic number.

Hopefully you don't have fires everywhere around you. My hometown had some evacuations then under control then more flare ups. No human lives were lost but a lot of stock went down. So sad for some of my friends because first dealing with drought then devastating fires. I heard no homes were lost though.

I do not. I live in the SE, where fire is not so common. I ache for those who have lost homes and livelihoods.

I’m not ready to go back to work on Monday.

 

[IrisAlthea]

I’m not ready to go back to work on Monday.

I’ve come to the conclusion that this work thing is cruel and unusual.

Whenever I read about the aquatic ape theory, I mean I don’t know about the scientific validity but when I read about those little apes living by the water on fruut and seafood, something deep in my soul says ”Yes! Yes!”.
Offices and meetings don’t really give me that feeling.

Amen.

I dread going back because it’ll be full on mayhem until November. Really wish I could take on that aquatic ape lifestyle.

The day I retired was the day my life began.

I wonder if I’ll ever get to begin my life considering how fast the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

I wonder that myself.

My blurt: I made a snowman today, and I was hoping he'd be really cute, but he looks like a duck due to the way the pattern told me to make the carrot nose.

I got kicked out of the local forum for reasons I truly do not understand. I haven’t broken any rules that I know of anyways (I’m not quite the brawler as, say, @gracie920101 is) and I hadn’t even logged in during my vacation, so I don’t know when I’ve been banned and why. When I tried to log in, I got a notification that my account no longer exists, and when I tried to make a new one, I was rejected. An actual human checks all the registrations, so it wasn’t a bot decision to not let me in. I have no clue what gives.

Maybe it’s for the best. I haven’t necessarily loved the place. This makes finding partners in the future that bit more difficult, though, if a need for a new one arises. Sigh.

Huh?
May be worth asking why. If it is local and if there is some drama behind, it is better to know what is going on.

Yup, working on it, although I’m not sure how much effort I want to put into this now. Too annoyed and at the same time I don’t care enough.

If there is drama behind this, it’s definitely nothing I’ve been part of. Unless this is due to some drama I was part of around 3 years ago, but that seems unlikely.

So, natural gas price went from 3.25ct to 11.7ct per kWh. "Winter is coming" is getting scary again.

Somebody is making a lot of $ off of this. It's like gasoline in the States, minus the shortage.

Mhm.
We have to renegotiate the electricity rate soon and I’m contemplating if it would be easier to just rob a bank perhaps.
