Ring, In Progress

So, now it's "gas stimulus checks". AYFKM?? Fuck all the congressional shit-for-brains that have supported the war on the American energy industry by the current mis-administration! You won't see any of THEM running out of gas, or unable to fly anywhere they want, anytime they want, will ya? 🖕🖕🖕

The sin twisters at 9 months old. Ms. Fenris on the left, Ms. Louis on the right. Fen's advice for the day: don't eat bees or spiders... no picture of her face after the fact, I was too busy fetching benadryl. She looked like a prizefighter who took a solid blow to the nose, swollen muzzle and eyes; such a sweetheart, no fussing or whining. The benadryl did the trick, and she's back to her normal nosey self.

Heart squeezed, and dusty in here...

The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of him, and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. “I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it” she said. “I think that’s what he would have wanted”. -Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both. IN HONOR OF ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES PLEASE SHARE THIS.

Stamping, shaped, soldered, shaped into a ring, and a little acid to bring out the runes. Final finish will happen when Big Fella drops by, so that I can size it to his 13+ finger, then do the last shaping, sanding, and polish it. Love doing this, so I do!

For Muriel, Li'lBit, and my cousin's daughter Lauren, who still fight on. ❤️❤️❤️

25th anniversary gift for my Loki

Well folks, I have kept my mouth shut over most stuff while plugged in with many of you, reblogging things that touch on where I am at, and that I feel strongly about.

This little rant will probably hack some of you off. Too bad. I am not here to pat you on your back like the obsequious fucks that are all around. I speak as I see it.

I was raised in a household of a well-educated married couple, and indirectly taught to look at everything through a lense of fact-based evidence. If the evidence didn't fit my ideas, I changed my mind, NOT the evidence.

Feelings ain't facts.

This has led to division here and there, I have made and lost friends over the years due to my refusal to accept delusion as truth. Again, too bad.

My little crew and I are muddling along, day by day, and doing the best we can. Ours is a biracial relationship; I fell in love with her because of who she is, not because her skin is the same color as coffee with a little cream.

We hold no hatred towards any skin color. We hold no distaste or hatred towards same-sex attracted people. We aren't bound by religious "norms". We both have gay friends whom we hold dear in our hearts.

What we do NOT have is any patience or tolerance for mentally ill people who convince children that they can be something that they are not, from their DNA outwards, by mutilating and medicating themselves. We choose not to participate! If you are an ADULT, that's your thing, well, have at; don't expect me to pay for it or pretend. Ain't happening. Otherwise, live your life as you choose. But, here is your reality: keep trying to convince mentally and emotionally vulnerable children that destroying themselves will remake them into something YOU think they should be, and it won't end well.

You have managed to pull it off with some of my family. Because I value my freedom and ability to voice my opinions, I will not act on the anger in ways that would endanger that. I will speak as I see it.

My gay friends are horrified and in fear of the backlash you are creating, and rightly so. We all have enough trouble with the religious nutcases in the world, and you twisted fucks are winding them up by insisting on getting in the faces of their kids. I don't blame them; does the word "pogrom" have any meaning for you? Look it up! Because my dear friends will be swept away by that madness as well.

That backlash is on you delusional people, and your enablers. May the Old Ones, and Karma, give you exactly what you deserve. As for you people in the medical field who push this, because there is money to be made behind it, that goes double.

Every Friday, damn straight. Bring. Them. Home!
