I would fix our truck, buy a cheap fixer-upper for a few hundred dollars so we have two vehicles, I would probably get a new laptop (nothing fancy, just something newer and with a better screen than what I have, as mine is old and the colors are washed out compared to newer screens -- not ideal for doing art), get a shotgun for the house (it's necessary, there are people that pose a threat to us), a pistol to carry (also necessary for same reasons), start on putting together a small prepper stockpile for us and the cats should Shit Hit The Fan, and then I'd hold on to the rest and put it towards buying the house we live in so I can finally break all ties to the hideous monsters I'm unfortunate enough to share genetics with. (It's either this, or be living in our truck with five cats. And we're not getting rid of the cats. So...there aren't many options.)
That's what I'd do with $10,000.
Interesting post! I actually stopped by to see if I could talk to you about the picture of your girls you commissioned? I'm having a lot of trouble with part of it, so I was wondering if there were a few changes I could make that you would be alright with.
Crikey, 10,000 would be really helpful for you. I'm sorry you have to live like that.
I'm easy, please just do with the commission as you think.
The biggest issue I'm having is with the shadowing of the skin. I'm not quite good enough to pull it off without having the whole background with the glaring reflections.
So if you don't mind the skin shading not being as darkly shadowed as it is in the photo, I think I can get through it.
Also! A question about the ginger cat and hamster: You said for Poppy and Hazel. Are they representative of your girls? If so, who is the hamster and who is the cat?
That sounds fine re seesaw picture. For hamster and cat, just a pic of a hamster and cat with "To Hazel and Poppy" on it would be fine. Bless you.
It's no problem at all.
I don't think I'll be doing Freebie Friday this week. But if you have any requests you want to make, I'm happy to take 'em. :)
If you have 5 cats during TEOTWAWKI and no supplies, soon you will have dinner and 4 cats....then 3...then 2...
I don't care if you're joking or not, that's not appreciated and sure as fucking hell not funny.
I would starve to death before I would ever hurt my cats. I have chosen to feed them over myself on more than one occasion, and have even chosen to feed them over medication I need if we can't afford both.
I don't care how hard and crazy shit gets, I would never choose myself over their lives. I will die providing for them if I have to.
