Be interested in one?

First few probably won't be 'sellable' but they'll be functional and still look decent. I'd have no problem sending one off for free.

Differs each day. I'm not really a breakfast eater, but I'll grab a piece of cheese or something if I get hungry.

Totally. But I'd want to pay you for it. Don't underestimate yourself before you've stepped up to the bat, dude.

No really, I can't break even until I get my filework up to a decent level. May as well send 'em off free.


I have 48 hours and ten pages to write about stories and plays I hated.

Doesn't the smell of chaos bring vigor unto your limbs?

Also, are you aware that in Mississippi, if you can prove that " threatened, and had good and sufficient reason to apprehend a serious attack from any enemy, and that he did so apprehend", you can get out of an illegal weapon carrying charge?

I don't understand this.

And, I did not know that. I knew that gun carrying laws are fuzzy, and with a bit of manipulation, I could carry a full length shotgun as along as it was concealed. XD

Basically what I mean is that I can't get more than I'm paying for materials before my engraving gets better.

Comprende amigo?

I understood what breaking even meant (bad experience with toothpaste and the stock exchange) but I don't understand why you don't want to...

Depends on the context, I guess. I enjoy giving gifts that say "I know you enough to get you a gift I know you'll like", so if I can, I'll give a gift.

Gift cards say "I wasn't totally sure what you wanted, but I care enough about you to want you to have something you'll like, even though you will be picking it out later. I also know you enough to know where you shop at, so here's a card to that store". So they're good in that way, showing that you care, but aren't sure what to give.

Getting them is fun too, as long as it's a store you shop at.

Ah, tis not that.

Basically, without an decent amount of experience, they won't be worth more than the parts.

So, yeah, be giving out 4-5 free.

Chozon... halp.

I'm possibly heading to an expo in a week (next Sunday exactly)... and I ain't sure what to get.

Either a ball python:

Another RTB:

Image

Or... if I could find one... a jungle carpet python:

Image



Honestly, I'm kinda leaning towards the carpet. Such beautiful snakes (though I'm told they can be... mean)... and not to mention I've never owned one. I always like trying out new snakes. XD

Then again, they're like... freaking hard to find. Probably won't see 'em there whatsoever. >_<

Anyway.

What say you?

Huh. Good man.

Hmm...yes it is. Though when using it, you may actually find yourself bored. It's always backfired on me, at any rate.

Schnap...that's hard. The JCP is incredibly beautiful. If they're mean though...I dunno. How much do you not like getting bitten? :D

I like they way the RTB and ball pythons look though. ^_^ I'd probably pick the ball python or the JCP, if you can get it.

Yeah... hard is what I'ma dealing with. XD

I don't mind a mean snake, really. Any snake will tame down given enough time.

I just don't think I will find one. They... seem so rare at expos/breeders. >_<

I've seen two total up close in my life. 4srs

Ball pythons are everywhere, and cheap at the expo. (20-is bucks)

Maybe I'll get a BP and a JCP if they have them. <_<

:P

lulz, yeah. I just dunno 'bout being able to afford them both, but yeah...


I'm thinking of breeding mice soon, to get food for my snakes. It'd be a heck of a lot cheaper than even Rodent Pro, and it's insanely easy. o.o


Sound like a good idea?
