I keep thinking "Oh, I'll be back online soon, doing what I always do. I just have to get through this next week, and then everything will settle down and I can go back to writing about inconsequential crap like video games and porn and my cats

Hey, hon.

My dad died of cancer a little over twelve years ago. It sucks. It's a miserable way to die and a miserable way to lose someone.
You get to a point where the best you can do is hold their hand and give them more morphine, love them to bits and let them know it's okay to go.
Not easy, but you get through it.
(That said, my relationship with my dad was good and fairly uncomplicated. It could be very different for Sargon).
I hope people near you are bringing you lots of freezer-friendly casseroles (and maybe a chest freezer, come to that...), because they make a world of difference.

Re: Everything Else:

Seroquel: O.O
I'm glad you didn't die or have to go to the hospital.
I'm also glad that things are in noticibly different bottles now.
Hot pink duct tape for the win.

I was going to suggest Lego money too.

If I have time, I'll be getting pics of both ponies today! If not, tomorrow! So there will be pics. I may break it up into two posts, but it'll get posted! I'm keen to show them off, because they turned out so pretty. I am especially proud of Amor Volat, because she's pretty much exactly like I wanted her. I hadn't expected that to look quite as "bad to the bone" as she looks, but I think that's the sassy-ass pose and the leather-black background. Her mane and tail are perfect, though. Could not have done any better on that. And her markings are awesome.

PLAY MONEY! Why I, being a fan of Legos and Plamobil, did not think of that is . . . well . . . a testament to how out of it I've been, probably. That is a fantastic idea about they beads and money thing, though. I like that a lot! :D

Stictly speaking, I didn't think of it either. I put "doll-sized pirate money" into google just to see what came up and, in amongst the hundreds of child-sized coins (stuff for loot bags) I found on Ebay, there were those two things that might actually work. :-)

I'm glad you like the beads idea. :-)

I'm also pretty broke-ass, so I hit up the dollar-store for beads more often than not (they have bone and hematite and yellow jade at my local, which is not a bad thing).

Re: two posts worth of pics: Oh yeah! :-D And a bad-to-the-bone pony is a-okay in my books. :-D Is she the unicorn (iirc) you were working on a while back? Looking forward to seeing them both. :-D

Holy crap! What variety of dollar store do you have? Hematite at a dollar store?!

[amazon_syren]

Honestly, it's been a while since they carried it (but they usually have one or two kinds of stone beads and some bone or wood as well). I think it's an independent one - they also had flip-flops for $5 including taxes (I got two pairs and they're holding up really well).
That said, I've seen the same selection at "dollar it", "dollarama", and "buck or two". (Can you tell where I do most of my shopping?)
