People seem to forget how often this kinda stuff back fires.
They used to treat kids who couldn't grow correctly with gene therapy.   They figured out how to turn on the growth gene and now those kids can grow at a "normal" rate.
Then 10-12 years later, those treate kids starting coming down with cancers.   Because, as it turns out, when you mess with one set of genes, you unknowingly mess with others.

This was my first life sized figure.  She's just a basic PVC pipe frame with a foam head covered by a paper mache mask.

This year I plan to build a full body figure.

Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing.

I build things out of scrap wood.  Trays, stools, lop sided chicken houses.  I also build life sized Halloween figures, paint Halloween themed furniture and grow plants just for Halloween use.

I also have a room full of ceramic molds that I can't do anything with because as it turns out, I'm allergic to plaster dust.

I collect wild grapevine and make wreaths, trellises and arbors.   And I grow plants for use as Halloween decorations.

WOOT WOOT.

    Arizona
    Arizona’s most famous nickname “The Grand Canyon State”....

I thought it was "Come on vacation leave on probation."   

I used to live in Marrana by Ava Valley, then moved to Casa Grande.

I think it depends on what part of the country you're in.

I'm from Rhode Island where you can order a pupu platter.  It's like a lazy susan of appetizers.  Egg rolls, shrimp, ribs, chicken wings and skewers and such.  And their fried rice comes plain, or with a variety of meat.  Always with scallions and carrots but NO PEAS!  I hate peas.

In California they just call it an appetizer platter and it comes with fewer items.  And their fried rice in plain.

Now I'm MO, where they don't have appetizer platters of any kind, but they have lots of buffets with a variety of items.

Out of them all. Rhode Island has the best chinese food, followed by Missouri.   California was a disappointment.

It's my face I'll wear makeup if I want.

But I don't so I guess it's a moot point.

I'm not sure, but I think you go where you believe you belong.
So someone who appears to be a good person, but is living a double life and secretly fears they'll headed for someplace bad, will end up there.
If you truely believe there's nothing once you die, then that's what you get.

So yes, if you believe you'll go to the Caribbean when you die, that's where you'll be.

All I can say is, I wish the internet was around when I was in high school.
I would have home schooled myself rather than go to that torture chamber.

Evidently I signed up a year ago and forgot about it, ha!
But money's tight, I live in the boonies and I can use all the cash I can get.
Oh well, better days are coming.

I likes Bones, but then again My name is Earl is good.
I liked Kath and Kim, but I think it may have been canceled
I realize it's in reruns, but I never miss Dr. Who.

I don't watch much anime, but I did see Howl's Moving Castle the other day and I really liked it.
It was a good story that I could see being made as a live action.
