Welcome to Gaia! ::

I guess It's bad that I know those shoes in that picture are Airwalks and not real Crocs..

I'm a dog person.

The ingredients of Cherry Limeade are listed as:

water, sweeteners, conventrated lime guice, less than 1% cherry juice, citric acid, grape juice for color and natural flavors.

What exactly are these? They can't be lime, or cherry, or even grape. Those are all covered by "lime juice, cherry juice, grape juice." It says on the side of the carton, "made with real limes and natural flavors." So....what gives?

I just wanted to say that I will be back soon. xd

I've been making it up to lil bit lately for how long i was at the computer for the mystery. We've been going nutz with bubbles when the weather is nice. trying to teach her the cuzzoo(sp?) which is working strangely enough.. I also got a small lil picnic table for outside for her to color at when the weather gets nicer. biggrin

Work has been getting a little hectic of late. we just recently went through a merging so i'm going through the transition of the new terms and guidelines within my work environment. Not to mention i'm usually whipped out since they recently merged two sections within the store. I'm the lucky supervisor that got nominated for the task sense I already run one of those departments.. (and i've been half assed at running the other department at the same time for months) and someone has recently gotten injured on the job.. so i'm also running that department... I'll get used to it.. it's fun at times but not always..


I will be doing an all girl sleepover when I get back! biggrin or shortly there after! Goodie goods and evil doers welcome alike! Though you have to be female. biggrin

I'm going to be honest and say I find this troubling. Wizard buys a lot of conventions around the country, and on the one hand it does impact greatly the number of people who attend. It gives them a lot more promotional ability, reaches a wider audience and guarantees a certain amount of funding. They bring better, bigger conventions to areas that may previously have not had any, or they were too small and too far away for people to bother with the journey. More people usually means more fun, so yay for that.

It also sucks.

The conventions invariably loose their intimacy and the friendly qualities that made them the most enjoyable. Wizard also has no qualms about gouging people for money, and when I say people I mean exhibitors. Artist's Alley. I've heard too many horror stories not just about the cost of tables (did you know tables were free at the original Chicagcon?), but about the treatment and placement of the unfamous. Even the mildly unfamous. Contract Vertigo artists who get stuck in corners against walls next to people they've never met, and then who don't even get listed on the map or in the program.

My one great big fancy hope is that having a super-commercial Wizard Con in New York will keep NYCC a sort of haven for creators. It's in a bit of the off-season, all the editors show up, there's a lot of business that goes down there. Whereas the commercial cons, the editors flee from because they get attacked by up-and-comers. Or even just people like DeffiantK.

You try it and Rose will be the one coming after you. stare
