I like the expansiveness of both paintings. The second one almost made me hear an echo!

I'm putting you on my friends list, too. OK, I just did. Hey! I beat you. 
wanna apologize to all the people i like so very much here that i've been unsocial towards lately... not trying to be unfriendly, just feeling quiet lately with all i have going on, the heat, etc.
just didn't want anyone to think i was being bitchy or disliking anyone or anything, if i haven't spoken to you & i normally do, it's just me being...

If you got, let's say, a 180-lb. male -- we can figure out how to "get" him later -- I think it's reasonable to assume, given that he's in halfway decent shape (minimal blubber, exercises three times a week), he would dress out at about 100 lbs. of useable meat, yes. It wouldn't all be prime meat, as we've discussed, but the guts can't weigh more than 80 lbs.
Muscle tips the scales at a lot more than fat, so you wouldn't want, for example, the SG member Vim. From what I've seen of him, ELpH might be good. BigDirtyS would probably be just right. I would eat Mei in a flash, but that's something else.

OK ... sweet dreams of sugar plums or, if not sugar plums, body parts.
Jonesy is doing better -today he ate some food on his own free will (after we'd forced 3 or so fingertips worth in him).. he finished the plate all by himself! it was only about a tbsp of food, but what matters is that *he* did it. yay!
went to a buddy's house yesterday... they have a 5X5 ft. kiddy pool (inflatable) on their blacony...

Glad to hear Jonesy is doing well and eating.
Jonesy had surgery today, wrote about it in the kitties group. think he'll be ok.
hot as fuck here. no, hotter than fuck. fuck tends to be a pleasant hot, at least at the time... this is not pleasant.
*sigh* getting by.

I'm having sleeping issues these days too. It sucks. Any fun activities planned for the upcoming training holiday?
I think I was in your neighborhood last week. That is, if your neighborhood is near Spinelli Bks.

if you're stopping by & haven't seen my "wrapped in tape" pic, go take a looksee, it was a lot of fun doing.
anyhoo, last night i had this weird dream about being disappointed over my latest tattoo (note, in reality, i have none). it was fully covering the bottom of my tummy from hip to hip and was in a just-healed manner needing a...
