I have an AA question.

When you get your 'coin' for sobriety, what denominations are they? 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc?

And how are they given out? During the meeting? Quietly afterwards?

Asking for a friend …. :D For a fic, actually.

Thanks in advance. Clearly, anon comments are more than welcome!

So, if I was to open either a small stained glass storefront, or just an online store for stained glass, what do you think would be the best name for it?

Pane in the Glass

Kick Some Glass

The Glass Hole

Kiln me Softly

License to Kiln

Dressed to Kiln

Also? This.

My poor cat and dog had no freakin' idea why ANYONE would like to hang out in the bathtub.

So, I've been watching a lot of John Oliver and Jon Sterwart lately, and as a surprise to NOBODY now I really want some slash between them. (this, from the girl who is squicked by rpf!)

So, if anyone knows of some, please be helping a sister out?

Don't care who tops. DNW family members involved. Dirty, desperate fondling and back room frotting much appreciated.

So, hypothetically (because I won't know until tomorrow), if I wanted to gather a bunch of people to do something like a flash mob, what would be the best way to organize and give instructions? My plan would be to put an ad in the paper and/or on kijiji to reach the most people, but I need a way to get more specific with them.

These would be people that I don't know, so I don't really want to give out my personal email address to 1000 strangers, but I need to give out instructions as to where and when, and I also might need to put up a short dance video so everyone an learn the moves.

I would also like it if there could be some back and forth, people could ask questions, and/or I could get a head count of how many people to expect.

blogspot? facebook (which I don't use, and I think you need to specifically invite people to a special group??)any other social media platform that doesn't have to be linked to my rl. I could just start it up for this ,and then abandon it.

Thanks in advance!

Today I made a lightbox via instructions on the interwebs. We've had some adorable baby chicks and ducks lately, and I wanted to photograph them.

The problem is, my camera is WAY beyond my skill set of point and click. I generally keep it on the 'auto' setting, and shut the flash off, but the light box proved to be tricky and I tried a million settings and wasn't really happy with any of them. (and didn't understand any of them either.)

I have the options of (I assume) shutter speed, from 80 up to 1600. I also have the option of C1, C2, M, AV, TV, P (the afore mentioned) auto, scn and movie.

The camera seemed to have trouble focusing, so I moved it physically back and then zoomed in. Any hints or tips would be welcome. Any hints on getting a chick to sit the fuck still and look at the camera would also be appreciated. ;)




These were tweaked quite a bit in ps, to get rid of the overtly yellow colour and give them more contrast.

Hey guys, just poking you with a sharp (but friendly) stick to remind you (and or beg you) to go and vote for my art at that spn contest.

So far it looks like I'm in the top 75 out of 300 or so, but I have to get in the top 20 to have a chance of winning.

Thanks!!

For those who don't know, Kripke is the creator of Supernatural and McG is an executive producer.

There is a Supernatural design contest and Imma enter. The design will be used on their merch, like shirts, mugs, etc. The themes are Family Business, Hunting Things and Saving People, so I've gone with a family business sign crossed with a Ouija board, but I'm not completely happy with it yet.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions are very much appreciated!

No, not on how to do it.

A friend of mine is dealing with the suicide of one of his employees. This person had worked for him for many years, manning the phones and doing much of the paperwork and stuff.

This year my friend decided to take on that job himself, thinking he could save the company some money.

And yeah, that employee, who was not hired back this year killed himself. He had always been a bit of a loner, and my friend knew that ending the job would be hard on him, but he obviously never expected this person to commit suicide. He had actually talked to him about possibly working part time, but too little, too late, I suppose.

And now, understandibly, my friend is just gutted with guilt over this.

I spoke with him about how I understand his guilt, and of course ANYONE would feel guilty in this circumstance, but that he needed to realize that the only person responsible for this suicide was the person who did it. Anyone who knows/loves/is related to/married to/works with someone who dies this way questions themselves. What could they have done differently? What if they hadn't said A or B? etc.

It's a natural response, but in the end, they cannot be responsible for someone else's life.

I'm not sure if this helped or not, and uh ... being a DUDE, it's really hard to say what's going on with him emotionally.
he DID ask me what he should tell people who ask about what happened, and I told him that all he needs to say is that X took his own life.

Any advice from people with more experience? Obviously, it's a horrible thing, no matter how you slice it, but is there any way to ease the guilt that my friend is feeling?

Thanks in advance.

I am considering doing some yoga this year, but am ... horribly unflexible and out of shape. Will I shame myself if I just show up at a yoga class and flop around like a landed trout? Or should I use the internet to learn some poses and build up some strength first?

Are you expected to hold the poses for the required amount of time? Or do people 'tap out' and sit quietly/stretch while everyone else does the downward dog for an hour?

also? I've done some looking on the internet, and uh ... they all seem pretty ... spiritual? I don't want to do a sanscript prayer before I stretch. I just want to stretch.
