I. LOVE. Chickens.
My uncle in michigan used to have more land where he had a large garden (like a mini farm) and a chicken coup. I was about 10 when I went to stay with him for a month or two during a summer break, and it was so enjoyable harvesting fresh veggies and feeding the hens, gathering their eggs. Theirs were white and brown, none of the green/blue tinted ones that I remember. There's a name for the hens that can lay those, but I cant remember! Super pretty though :D
They were very happy hens

@Spider
DONE :D
thanks for your patience while I adjusted my new setup!


Are the lines vibrant on your monitor? My new tablet shows very vibrant colors, while my monitor is very dull. Wondering which is accurate :vanora_xd:

@Totalanimefan:
I dunno but he has a lot of gull for bragging after stealing a sale from me yesterday.
I'm big mad about that one lol he's a very greedy con man. A true sales man i guess!
The kind I vowed not to be like

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, its so dang expensive just to survive.
And while I'm over here cancelling all subs and counting rice grains just to make sure we'll be on a safe budget this month and next, my boss wouldn't shut up for 4 hours at work today about how he wants to on a whim just buy a new house with 3 car garage, ect ect, just cause his wife wants a bigger and more expensive home than his already half a million dollar house. Its massive too and fairly new, he had it built.
He just casually talks up the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has to expend toward either buying a new house or expanding his current one.

Then he comes over to talk to me about my sales and I'm like yea I'm hurtin rn.
And he's like "oh lets see what my wife just spent on groceries. oh its ONLY around $200"
like dude, stfu >__>
I love when people find success but god I hate bragging

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah I'm ngl having 3 bad pay weeks in a row really destroyed my motivation. Trying my best to overcome the obstacles but man it sucks right now!
My rent is not bad, everything is inflating so much that its on a relatively low price for being in a safe location. My commission will pick up again eventually so I am not at risk of missing rent. I just need to patch some holes in my recent pay checks cause I got other bills looming over me :vanora_sweat:

One day we'll catch up! lmao

Update!!
Tablet finally came in on Friday
funny enough I thought it would be Thursday, so I sent my husband on his lunch break from work to go get it off our porch cause we wouldn't be home til like 9pm. But only the key dial arrived, I guess they shipped the pieces separately. He did a big panic cause he didn't know what to expect :vanora_xd:

But anyway, had to jump hurdles to get it connected cause of port issues--BUT IT WORKS NOW!
Still adjusting the pen pressures to try and make it so I dont have to press so hard ;v;;;;;;
nothing compares to cintiq, but hey its affordable ish~!

I'll get back to these slots very soon. Sorry again for delays x'D


ALSO UPDATE
I decided to open temp RLC commissions too cause my job is not paying me enough lately. I live in a military town, so ever since the war in ukraine began, the market here plummeted through the earth. And now with inflations going haywire, no one's in the mind to pay for $2-6k mattresses. I work by commission off the mattresses/bases that I sell, so if I sell nothing then I only get paid $7.25 ph but I expected to work harder than thats worth orzzz

Anyway, whining aside, here's my flyer~!
I made it real quick last night out of anger when my boss stole a sale from me yesterday that could've had us fed for a week :'D
So the examples reflect my grump face at the time lmfao

@Synth:
It was really tricky, I cant exactly remember how I did it on windows 10. But eventually I made it so I could log in without password, but I'd still have the lock screen. I'd just hit space bar to log in. Maybe I just had it remember my PIN idk :vanora_sweat:
been so long

its probably not at all like a mac, just the task bar looked like it on first impression :'')
idk how macs operate. I have one at my job but I avoid it cause its either broken or doesnt like me..

Oh gosh, thats cute :vanora_xd:
what a tiny voice

Posted in fresh eggs :D Posted 3 years ago


Taking things literally is a good thing tho, teaches me new things! :vanora_xd:
and like I'd talk, I take everything literally irl too

I meant for the bleach part to be a joke, oops :vanora_xd: I knew they bleached the shells but I actually didn't realize why that was!

@Stinky:
Oh, I forgot that was a thing!! Thanks for the tip!
No more egg roulette hahaha

Posted in fresh eggs :D Posted 3 years ago


My coworker has a buncha chickens and offered to give me eggs if I bring her an egg carton.
So I did!
I haven't had FRESH eggs since I was a child so I'm excited
ive probably consumed so much bleach in my life
but also nervous cause shes like
"oh yeah i have a rooster too and I tried my best to filter out the fertilized eggs but if something looks weird just chuck it"
so every egg is like
will this be normal or will it have a thing in there
kdfjng

but she did give me 1 duck egg too :vanora_xd:
never had those before, wonder if it tastes any different

this isn't them, but they have these colors

My favorite gift is when people share their farms and gardens ;v;
fresh food items are the bestttt

OH BUT I CAN ADMIT it pissed me off how many times I have to login/create accounts just to access standard shit
like its always been like this in windows 10 too but I had found ways to have everything just sorta auto log in without prompting me (including PIN to unlock the computer)
so I kinda forgot
but so far I cant figure out how to make windows 11 not FORCE me to have a locked system, like let me just boot my PC and see my desktop i dont want a lock screeeeeeeen
:vanora_tired:
