My sister and I are doing a craft show in a couple of weeks. I sell printed & framed cartoon and name prints (12" x 15"), she sells handmade soap and pocket knives – strange mix, yes, but she has two websites. We will be at different tables but neither of us can determine the best way to arrange our tables. We need a way of creating shelves on the tables to display our items, we cannot afford to buy that fancy, collapsable shelving that is so commonly seen.
For me I was thinking of putting my framed prints in a plate holder, the kind used for decorative plates. She has thought about a spice rack of sorts.
Hoping that someone with a little more creativity and know-how might be able to provide some advice.
My Ex Boyfriend Justin and I broke up, well, sorta had a big falling out in Feb. We had a very heated argument. I used to feel like My Ex Boyfriend was in some ways Crazy. He was very Charismatic, and handsome, but behind closed doors, I felt like he was micro-managing me, and It made our relationship go downhill fast. I broke things off without any closure from him, he tried to contact me but I ignored all his attempts.
My new boyfriend, And I are starting to have some major issues that’s beginning to make me feel depressed about. For example , my new boyfriend is Unemployed, and has apparently given up on work. I have to pay for everything out of my pocket. He lives with his mother and shares a car with her. At first I felt like Maybe I could help him find a job or help him become self sufficient, but it seems like he really has no ambition. My Ex-Boyfriend was a serious Go-Getter, When it came to work, he was smart like noone I’ve ever seen. He shot Threw the Ranks at AT&T from Sales guy to District manager in under 3 years. My Ex also had a internet Business, building websites for small businesses that he did on the side outside of his work with AT&T. A lot of times I would go to his office at AT&T and he would be there at his office working on something completely unrelated with AT&T. It used to drive me crazy, it seemed like he was so driven by money that In my mind I felt like it would be the end of him someday. My father really liked how he was constantly in the mix of things, even when he was not at work, he was always working, I hated it, but wish my new boyfriend had 1/4th of the drive he had.
Also, i work out a lot. A few hours per day. My new boyfriend often tells me I need to take a shower, or that I’m too sweaty. When I give him a kiss after seeing him, maybe after leaving the Gym. He will push me away and say " Gosh your Wet". When I was with my ex, he never said anything like that… ( Maybe he was just nasty) But my ex used to do things like Pop up on me at the gym, and he would whisper in my ear things like, " I like it when you’re all sweaty" or " i want some of this sweaty….." At the time I thought it was kinda freaky, But now I really miss that so much. About him
Also, another thing that really gets me about my new boyfriend. I realize now that he’s very soft, he has a great body. My Current boyfriend is in good shape don’t get me wrong. But he’s lazy. And if Push came to shove, I don’t know how he would hold up defending me or my kids. My Ex boyfriend was very cut throat, with business, and with a real life threat. He boxed his way threw college and was fearless. My son’s Original father / sperm doner was abusive to us. My son’s used to always say what they loved about my ex-, was that if their father tried to hurt them, he would beat them up! I’m Crying right now as I type this. … One thing i knew when I was with him, was that he would kill someone if they ever put their hands on me or my sons. I dont’ care if the other person had a gun or a knife, my ex wouldn’t be phased. I don’t feel this way with my new boyfriend.
Yesterday while I was out with my Current boyfriend, we went to a small restaurant here in our city. We walk in and sat down, Guess who’s sitting next to us? My Ex and someone else from AT&T. He was finishing a Beer and I feel like he quickly left because either he was uncomfortable, or didn’t want to make me uncomfortable. I didn’t look at him, I pretended not to notice him but my boyfriend said he made eye contact with him and he smiled. I can’t help but wonder whats going on with him? what was he doing there and where was he going? I can’t help but wonder If I made a Mistake.
The Band Perry have this song called "If I Die Young" and i don’t quite ]understand what the meaning of the song is, or what they’re trying to say. Does any one know what it means?
Here are the lyrics and a link to the music video
if i die young burry me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
ooh ooh ooh ooh
lord make me a rainbow i’ll shine down on my mother
shes knows i’m safe with you and she stands under my colors
oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be
no aint even grey but she burries her baby
the sharp knife of a short life
well i’ve had just enough time
if i die young burry me satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
the sharp knife of a short life
well, i have just enough time
and i’ll be wearing white
when i come into your kingdom
i’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
well i’ve never known the lovin of man
but it sure felt nice when he was holdin my hand
there’s a boy here in town
who says he’ll love me forever
who would have thought forever could be severed
by a sharp knife of a short life
well i’ve had just enough time
so put on your best boys, and i’ll wear my pearls
what i never did is done
a penny for my thoughts oh no i’ll sell em for a dollar
theyre worth so much more after i’m a gonner
and maybe then you’ll hear the words that i’ve been singin’
its funny when your dead how people start listenin’
if i die young burry me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
ooh ooh the ballad of a dove
go with peace and love
gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket
save em for a time when your really gonna need em.
oh the sharp knife of a short life
well i’ve had just enough time
so put on your best boys, and i’ll wear my pearls
so im 16, and my dads always taught us to keep a pocket knife with us. just cause, we grew up in louisiana, in the woods. and yeah.
but anyways, i just have a 10 dollar one from walmart. dont get me wrong. its the best 10 dollars ive ever spent on a knife. it should of been a 50 dollar knife for how good it is.
but i just want a change. and i was thinking of this one.
I’ve known this child since he was 2, been with Dad since he was 4. His mom is a drunk never seems him.Its been me, Dad, stepson & my 2 daughters we had 1 more together, I’ve watched dysfunction between dad & him for years. I’ve stepped in & told dad you cant talk rather scream like a maniac to a child like that. It continued for years, its become less but still exists. At 7 he threatened to stab me. Nothing got done. I suggested to his dad that he throw his knife collection in a box til he moves out. Nothing. I’ve worked, had medical ins on him, taken him to Dr’s, taken him to school. Begged his dad to go through his bookbag-Dad felt it was private-sorry but in 2nd grade a parent needs to look in the bag. Papers or library books would be lost forever-no punishment, no guidance on how to be organized. My one daughter is in the same grade as he is.Knowing what needed to be done nightly didnt change that. This child is a pig has far as his living space goes. I’ve cleaned it myself, asked him to clean it, explained why its important to be clean, etc. I never raised my voice to him at all! If I were pissed about the room I’d go to his dad & show him, he’d shake his head & tell him to clean it up. He’d disappear into the room, go to bed, next day look in & nothing changed. This has gone on for years! I’ve never made this kid wait on me for anything. I’ve defended him with his father. Tried to get his father to talk not scream. His dad will tell me that the boy paints this picture to me of poor, poor him & that I dont realize whats going on. The boy-who is now 16-talks so much BS about his Dad its sickens me. They work together, then the boy quits, then they work together, etc. Its ridiculous. For the last 5 years I havent worked-technically. I’ve found big jobs and little that the father has doen. I even got a roof job-I picked up an employee, drove there & tore off & put shingles back on–never got paid. Which to me was fine as long as the bills were paid & there was food. Then a big warehouse job–5 people put money in their pockets just in time for Christmas–told I’d get 00.00 for getting the job. Never saw that, knew I wouldnt…not the point. The point is this kid tells me I should be grateful I’m home and I’m nothing but miserable to everyone in the house. I still work, just by advertising via the computer. I still bring money in. Still not the point. Yesterday this little SOB got caught bad mouthing his Dad again–we are not talking nice words at all. Somehow it got turned onto me–I blame them for not being able to write-taking a course, need to write short stories. Its gotten to the point that when I ask a simple question, calmly and should no way piss anyone off—I’m accused of starting a fight. Example-Dad bought a motorcycle, put it in my name, insurance is in his name, yesterday I asked dont I have to be on the policy too or how does that work because I know if there isnt insurance on it they can suspend the registration for 3 months. That’s it. I’m not going to sugar coat this because I really want to know honest opinions. That stupid questioned turned into me pissing off his dad and we had work to do–which they left & did–I rarely go out with friends, we’ve had car issues most of the summer, I’ve said straight up I’m getting cranky by being here all of the time, feel like I’m on house-arrest. But when I ask anyone anything I do my best to ask calmly—I’ve my own kids to think about. I dont want chaos or arguing or teaching them to communicate like the father and son do. I asked for some help from the 2 older ones and get more from my 7 yr old. The 16 yr olds–I get these are the teen yrs–but to scream the things he did at me yesterday, how he hates me, dont do a f-ing thing for me anymore, you’re f-ing crazy, you blame us for not being able to write, you this and that–all ugly—and especially with him knowing nothing about what his father and I do to take care of these kids. The 16 yr olds dont have chores. I’ve given them to them but they dont follow through. Dad’s excuse for his son is that he helps him so much–which is a whole other story-but my 16 yr old will do whatever I ask when I ask. I tell the kids & Dad that I am trying to teach them how to be adults because at this point reality is going to kick their butts. I feel like a tree in the desert standing all alone for as much as I am listened to. Then to be insulted when I’ve dropped whatever, whenever to do what they need…& 10yr later his son’s bedroom smells like a dog’s butt! This boy has had normal calm conversations with me all of the time. Tells his friends I’m his real mom, how cool I am. Then has stabbed me in the back because he got busted–twice. He stayed at his older sisters house last night. I honestly dont want his 2 faced negativity in my house. great he helps his dad. He doesnt do anything I a
What am I to do? My mom gives me great advice. But I dont want to worry her with this. I have a bro-in-law with cancer & a sister trying to keep her sanity. What am I to do at this point?
All through out the ages 7-10 I had some pretty great friends .
All of them were two to one year older, but no one ever noticed or cared .
Most of the hit Middle School , and I hadn’t heard from them for one full year !
Then the last one a year older then me left and now I figured out why the disappeared ,
they all do pot and smoke and cut there selves … -.-
That last one, she’s into it now , and I’m the one up next .
They’re still friends, but not the ones I used to know , they don’t betray me ,
it’s just I hate what they do .
The school’s population is like 1000, the hallways re dirty, sweaty , and about 65/100% smoke or do drugs . Half the school goes to school, a quarter is emo or depressed , and there’s a lot of drama . This school is talked about on the news !! Just a week ago my friend got suspended for slicing a girl’s brother with a pocket knife because he heard that she was gonna gang beat on his sister !
They all think I’m coming to their school next year ,
but I’ve bin secretly planning to go somewhere else possibly …
This other school is WAY better .
They have great sports team , not as many smokers or drug addicts .
To top it off, it’s way more smarter and once you graduate you transfer to the best school in our city !
But … no ones going there .
Maybe 5 of my same age friends in my class are, but all the rest are of to the other school .
The other school has this one great program called Challenge, but I hear it is REALLY horrible this year .
Should I go with my druggies && other friends,
or go to the smart school with some of my friends ?
I have a sog bowie hunting knife and a sog flash ii black tini tanto knife that I bought earlier this year and am looking to buy a second every day carry kind of knife. Maybe something smaller and I could just carry two.=) Anyways the flash ii is an assisted opening folder that is medium size and the black length is 3.5 inch. I was thinking maybe a ken onion leek might be good. I’ll pay a little over the budget for quality but I have a amazon gift card and don’t want a lot of cash out of pocket considering I already have a great knife. Please send links because I know there are different models and pricing.
Leek- cheapest I can find please tell me if the steel is any good, I know they are sharp and have great reviews. I just don’t know if they stay sharp or if i can re sharpen easily like a sog.
could not handle it anymore and decided to do it after 6 months of going cold turkey. Pocket knife is what i always use.
its small, sharp, and concealable (2 inches)
it did not feel good. no high from the pain and seeing the blood flow down my thick chubby arms
not wanting attention, but assitance from professional self harmers
razor blades suck! they are very very thin. AND i have not found any gillette razors cuz everyone uses plastic disposables or mach 4 watever crap
Anyone tried other things besides Cutting for high & relieve "stuff"?
i will not burn myself anymore + apply anything on my dick or testacles
Need SOMETHING to get my minbd OFF "STUFF"and FEEL "SOMETHING" other than that emptyness or hell from "mental" problems
hmm i guess i will go back to 4chan to seek advise from SADIST/MASOCHIST idiotic f*cktards who want me to kill myself & make fun of my problems
