So much good and so much bad.

[tripperfunster]

Bad: Omg, another quake in Haiti. WTF world?

Good: My art has helped raise $715 for help_haiti. How cool is that? It feels wonderful to be a part of something that is so many people doing good things. FANDOM RULES!

Bad: Not only did we have to put down our paralyzed cat, 'Beautiful' a week ago, Details about her here (it was Dr.'s orders, btw. Our vet, who'd been away finally saw her and was mortified. She all (but kindly) implied that we were cruel and insane to keep her alive.) Oh, this is a huge run-on sentence. Anyway, one of our OTHER cats, who was older than god and blind and confused, took a turn for the worse, and we had to put her down yesterday too. :(

Good: My son Harrison (7 yo) has started horse back riding lessons and he LOVES THEM! He tried violin for a year, but didn't like it much, then hemmed and haw'd and vetoed anything else I'd suggested, until I thought of riding lessons. He is such an animal guy (duh, I wonder where he gets it from) and is so excited to go back again.

Bad: Okay, maybe I'm out of bad things, but those were enough.

Good: My other son Quincey (6yo) is FUCKING HILARIOUS.
We were talking about eating lunch, and he joking told a blatant lie about something. I joked about his 'pants being on fire', and he said, "Hey! if my pants are on fire, I could have a roasted weenie for lunch!" (referring to his dick, of course) Then he said; "And if Harrison's pants were on fire, I could have TWO hot dogs for lunch .... Hey! What about dad? His hot dog would be AS BIG AS THE WHOLE TABLE!" I laugh uproariously, then he says "But I guess YOU would probably eat that one, right mom?"

OMG SNORFLE!

Disclaimer: MY KIDS NEVER SEE MY PORNY ART, THIS IS ALL CUTE AND INNOCENT, I SWEAR. Once they are teenagers, ALL BETS ARE OFF! ;D

I think I laughed way too much at the last good point.
You sons are absolutely adorable/hilarious!

I am glad that your 7yo is enjoying horse-riding, at least it isnt videogames and actually something active which is a major plus point!

Ohmygosh! That is so sad about your kittycats D:
But if it was for the best then what else was there to do. Sadtimes but I am sure they had a wonderful life with you :D

[outofthisplace.livejournal.com]

I am lol-ing a lot at your good things, but I am also so sorry about your cats, but WOW $715 RAISED! THAT IS AWESOME!

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

OMG! Your kids are more funny than mine! My two daugthers don't want to see a simple kiss in a film! XD (So different than their mother XD)

Congratulations! So many help thanks to you! Another quake? I didn't know!

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Dude. Kids are awesome.

And, go you for raising so much money!

[perverse-idyll.livejournal.com]

Wow, what a whiplash post. Your poor cats! Beautiful's fate just chokes me up.

I can't think about Haiti without getting insanely depressed.

But go you! That is utterly fantastic, Trip! *cheers you on*

But then! OMG! I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard. Your son is a riot! What is it with the kids of online fandom? They're all so smart and funny. You and schemingreader and florahart and libby_drew and so many others have the greatest kids, and their conversation is so full of surreal, witty remarks. :D

[feanna.livejournal.com]

Heh, I was horse riding on Monday for the first time after Christmas and I am totally sore. Anybody who says it's not a sport should try it! Hope he'll continue to have fun! (Many girls, even though he's probably too young to appreciate that. ;)

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Also, I forgot to say I'm sorry about your cats. :( I complain all the time about mine, but I panic whenever anything happens to them. So... my condolences.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG LOL YOUR KID.

ALSO, 715? HOLY CRAPPLES!

[1scout.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO!!
Your kid is gonna be a stand up comedian for sure!

[euclase.livejournal.com]

*dies laughing*

When your kids do finally see your art, remind them of this conversation. And save this post to show them. My mom pulls that trick on me all the time--"I remember when you said..." and I never believe her.

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

Whoa, how did I not hear they had another quake??

Awww, so sorry about the kitty's :( *hugs*

That's awesome about Harrison!!! I always wanted horse back riding lessons.

Fuck, that's HILARIOUS that Quincey said that!!! Hahahaha roflcopter!!11!1!elevty!

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT! $715...Wow Tripp! That is cool. I considered that help_haiti thing but...for my own reasons, tiptoed away in shame xp

Anyway, sorry to hear about your cats :( Beautiful really was such a pretty kitty, but I guess you gotta do what's best, and if she's not having a good quality of life, euthanasia is best. And the other cat, yea, I know all about losing a pet, I'm sure you know more than I, but bottom line is it sucks and it's sad x.x *Hugs*

HOWEVER. Your children are absolutely hilarious! Though, I must admit I am jealous Harrison gets horseback riding lessons!

[synn.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear about your cats

But, as others have head, your children are hilarious! Why does that not surprise me?

$715? WOW. Awesome : ) I wish I could have bid more for your art, but I'd reached my max. Can't wait to see what you create for the winner!

Once they are teenagers, ALL BETS ARE OFF! ;D

I would *pay* to see their faces the first time you show them.

[illariy.livejournal.com]

So sorry to hear about your cats.

But I'm another one who absolutely cracked up at the last point. :D

[wolfsjal.livejournal.com]

Yay ponies! Horses make the world better, I think.

Though, I'm really really sorry about your cats. *hugs* That's awful.

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Awesome! My little guy has been doing Therapeutic Riding for years and loves it! And it has really, really helped him a lot.

OMG! Roasted weinie! I will be laughing about that FOREVER!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, he loves video games too, and that's sort of the problem. We limit him to an hour a day, but he'd seriously play all day and night if we let him.

Thanks hon!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm pretty excited about that total, but keep in mind it's for charity. I doubt I would have raised that kind of cash if it was just for little old me!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, my kids crack me up all the time! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I have to say, and I'm certainly not biased at all, that MY KIDS ARE PRETTY DAMN AWESOME. But really, how could they not be, with me as their mom? ;)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! I love Flora's and Scheming's posts about their kids! I had to go and friend libby, as I don't know her, but one cannot have enough awesome kid stories! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's totally a sport!

Hopefully we will be able to get a horse (or two) of our own one day. right now we have little mini's, which are cute, but not exactly fun to ride!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon!

Emma was pretty damn old, and so blind I don't think she even knew where she was half the time. She's bump into the fridge, then stand there for a while, perhaps waiting for it to move? Who knows.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

My kid is a card! Sad thing is, he knows it! I have NO IDEA where the little attention whore gets it from. *is stymied*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

No, no, A ROCK STAR! A very funny rock star!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Aw man, they are always begging for stories about themselves. Although Harry completely denies peeing on our Basset Hound when he was potty training. ;D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

yeah, not a good month for cats, eh?

Heard about your job drama. *hugs*

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OH IT IS A MYSTERY.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks for bidding hon!

And I didn't mean I'm going to show them my art (although I'm sure they'll see some) I meant that they won't be innocent and pure any more. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks on both points! <3

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I would have KILLED for lessons as a kid! Seriously, why the hell would my parents not have done that?

I was totes horse crazy as a girl!

and thanks for the hugs. Sad week was sad. :(

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, horses are pretty damn cool. You should see the big dopey smile on his face when he's riding! Worth every penny! :D

Aw crap! I just realized that I was at the Humane Society today, and totally didn't think to see if you were there! durrrr

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

They acutally do therapy riding there on the weekends. One of the girls that works for me used to volunteer for that. I can totally see how it would help bring people out of their shell and/or help them make a connection.

What's not to love about horses?

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

Thanks *hugs*

Hey, did I miss it or were smuts not posted this week?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, you and another artists were slated for this week, and neither of you submitted or notified, so yeah ... no smut. :(

[perverse-idyll.livejournal.com]

You may possibly have known Libby under her fannish name Sansa, writer of some very fine Snarry fic, amongst other things. Splinter (http://thetwobroomsticks.slashcity.net/sansa/Splinter.html), for example.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! She was not on my flist, but I am more than familiar with the name.

I look forward to seeing some of her posts now, thanks!

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

I did anyways... I sent it to freckles... >.>

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

Maybe I got the wrong e-mail hah... that would be embarassing.

[drusillas-rain.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry about your kitties *hugs*

But very cool re raising money for haiti (and for horses and kids!)
