PICTURE POST II!

^You should do it!

[Sephiroth]

unfortunately, arm ink like that isn't very conductive to employment, perhaps when I make it rich (then you can sit with me while I get it done)

[thestrangequark]

^You know what is less conducive to employment? Not wearing a shirt to your interview.

[Sephiroth]

the scar tattoos are full arm, so it's either long sleeves all the time or I hold off on it for a bit

[thestrangequark]

^You'd be surprised, tats are becoming more and more acceptable in the workplace. Besides, presumably you'll be wearing a suit to your interview -- no one will see them!

[Sephiroth]

perhaps, it's a tough decision right now either way, though, still have a few years of college to get through before I get my degree, and I still have a few other obligations before I can do something like that

[B.J.]

I found out from my wife after her week with the Marines that tattoos, if large enough or in certain places, will disqualify you from military service. So if you want to serve at some point, you may want to consider that.

We'd have to fire about 90% of our staff if tattoos weren't acceptable.

^Thanks. I rather like them. I am already excited for the next one (though it's going to take me ages to save up enough money). I want to create a half-sleeve, using the same blues, teals, and blacks as are in the star, that will cover my left arm from the crook of the elbow to the shoulder, tying together all the tats on that arm into one cohesive piece that matches the star. I made a painting a couple years ago inspired by bubble chamber images and fractal mathematics, and I showed it to the artist who did this tat. He was really enthusiastic about my idea, so much so that he told me to just go ahead and bring the picture and other inspiration in so we can start planning, even though I won't be able to do it for several months. Can't wait!

Damn, woman, you so cool.

[Kira's Mom]

Looks cool, tsq, but damn. I believe you when you say it hurt!

Mom's garden is starting to show signs of life:





Yay, because I'm sick of winter.

Everything but the kitchen sink...oh, wait. That's Mom's old kitchen sink. She's going to use it as a veggie washing station in her garden.



The reason the sink is in the garden- Mom and Dad are re-doing their kitchen. It's almost done- just waiting for the counters and new sink and microwave to be installed.

[B.J.]

Took the boys hiking yesterday. You'd think that a 3 mile near-running pace up and down a mountain would tire out a 4 year old and he'd fall asleep on the way home. Nooooooo, of course not! In fact, he kept going full strength the rest of the day! In the end, I was the one that needed a nap!

thanks, but I have already served

[cooleddie74]

B.J.'s pictures remind me a lot of my part of Virginia. There are so many places in this area that look exactly like that....no exaggeration.

If that's the case, then we should all be thanking YOU.

[Tom Hendricks]

A little bit of rain and a tough place to make a turn and this is what you get. Looks like everyone was okay.
