Things i have learnt of late...

❦ - Do not for the love of gods ever chew your meds by mistake. Most brackish bitter penetrating taste in the world, ever. *shudders*

❦ - Neurons? Those old jeans that are skin tight and you were wibbling about being small and fat? Read the label. They're skinny-cut size 8 - no wonder they're tight. Shut the hell up before I hit you all, you

The goo the comes out of blisters should be clear and fluid. I'm slightly freaked when it's the colour and consistency of germ-y snot. Ah the health hazards of silversmithing. Dear gods, I need a grinder before I burn and file my fingers to the bone. (I have now completes three rings with only minor damage to my fingers.)

Do you get verdigris all over your skin when you do metalwork? I noticed when I was doing taxidermy I had a greenish-blue film on my skin when I scratched it. I suspect it was the wire I was using.

No, I get black-grey silver oxide and fine filings all over my hands instead =)

Iodiene! Also, how much are grinders?

Also, I didn't get on with House of Silk, but I think that was just me.

Also, very spirally and grumpy so going away. :(

Mook, Spacedmonkey, tell your neurons not to be so spirally and grumpy; silly keecher neurons...

Neurons don't listen. Have another meeting with annoying parents on thursday where I have to prove that I've written their son's IEP (individual education plan) to meet his statement of special needs (because as a teacher of 14 year sI obviously have no idea how to do this), have to prove I exist to the school office (because working there for 7 years apparently isn't enough) and, well, lots of other things.

1) It's better now.
2) Noooo idea.
3) I thought it was quite a good pastiche and some bits of it were nicely written, but I found the thing as a whole mildly unsatisfying. (possibly cos I worked lots of it out and I'm used to SH & co being smarter than me.)
4) Anything I can do?

Chewing meds is *always* a bad idea; made that mistake with a Vicodin once. Blllaaaaahhh.
Mmmmm...corvid in skin tight anything = Tasty!
50p for jacket commission? Where did the jacket go? Do I need to pay a visit to someone?
I have an extra Dremel you can have, if it will help, Darlin'.
*is not surprised* You are quite a clever keecher.
*very much wants neurons to sew and to start project of dooooom*
*kiss...kisskisskisskisskiss*

[wraithwitch]

Hm, yeah, raw opium tastes skanky too.
Although laudanum can be tasty...

The person I did the jacket for isn't talking to me and has yet to pay me, despite the fact they've had the jacket for a week or more. This is sadly as my bank account is anemic and I was hoping to give you plane ticket monies. I think I might have to start getting growly.

I have to keep telling my neurons very sternly they're not allowed to buy silk or chiffon or muslin until they know that they have an actual project to make. They are grumbling =P
