One of the dumbest things i ever did was i had a full schorship to Kansas City Art Institute that i didn't use. At the time i was making big money building houses in vale. I have a done a lot of scrimshaw and won prizes for it. I'm a pretty good cowboy boy poet and have performed. my lille band back in the sixties got to open for the KINKSat the denver coliseum. Right now before i die i'm writing a book about an exceptional cow dog i had and other assorted cowbot tails. And i don't have a clue on any of your questions SY OCB

hmmmm....i thought i posted this yesterday, but i must not have. i like to draw, was pretty good in art class. i don't have the patience for it anymore though. my soon to be 13 yr old daughter is very talented, was drawing pictures of panda bears at the age of three! i just hope she sticks with it, but i'm not gonna force it on her. i've been told that i can be artistic in a kitchen too....cooking is an art form sometimes too, ya know!

Nope, the first posting of this topic did not disappear...it's still here in the Writer's Corner forum.

LH Are you sipping the cooking wine!

i don't drink wine, it gives me heartburn.

I thought it was only Syb! There is something wrong with you too!

I think that is a safe bet Free - music and wine go well together.
I am NO artist - I have no training, nor skill or talent - raised by staunch Methodist, type A woman where free spirit was thought to be breath of the devil, but on those rare occasions when I try to foster that free spirit inside me, photography is my tool of choice, particularly nature (I really despise shooting people unless it is secretly and I love to shoot in B&W. But I am old school I love my old 35mm Yaschica SLR

I was taught, back in the days of film cameras, that if you get 1 really good shot out of a roll of film you got lucky. I used to burn 4-5 rolls at a time when I was out trying to catch that perfect shot. THAT is on of the nice things about digital - review, delete re-shoot, but I still like film

Your just full of nasty thoughts, i think you need a good prunin,that will get your mind right.

I think I can speak for most of the women when I say ....We like your mind the way it is Syb. Although I have to admit the thought of you and Kam putting your heads together for some of your and his ideas scares the hell out of me!

Maybe we tend to gather here because it gives us an alternate view of the world. A lot of caretakers gather here too.

Thats interesting you should say that....I was drawn here for many reasons, I was lonely, and beat up pretty bad through a divorce that I didn't see coming, as well as some battle scars that I was working through , both physical and mental.
I didn't post a picture of myself for some time because I'd been told women reacted to me because of the way I looked, and some said my personality was the reason, and I was curious...
After some time, I felt accepted here, for who I was, even with my different lifestyle, and outlook on things...
I feel accepted by many, understood by some, loved by a few, and hated by none....I think the outside world could take a reality check from you people in our alternate virtual world.
Your all about as real as it gets.
