Kona's still looking for her forever home. Please help share her Petfinder page! Kona is nearly blind and deaf, but otherwise in good health. Kona needs no special attention, but loves to be cuddled. She is not reliably house trained unless she is taken out for regular potty trips every 4 hours or so.
- may god bless your heart for taking time out of your very busy and meaningful life to help konaGuyFawkes
- i think omg likes kona.capn_ron
- After many wonderful years, Kona's owner, a prisoner of a nursing home. Kona is now homeless, with no direction, no place to go. So sad.omg
- Bizarre. I have Simpsons on in the background and the second I read your prisoner of nursing home comment homer said..set

i got a stye on the inside of my lower eyelid for the first time in my life... looks like someone punched me in the face :(
- Mix cotton ball w/water and ACV, gently clean outside of eyelid, it's okay to get tiny bit in eye. After put very light coat of coconut oil keep it on all day.robotron3k
- ACV and water should be diluted, coconut oil is good as people won't notice. should be gone in few days if you do it right.robotron3k
- eye barley? wtf is ACV? your eye is like your ears it has its own cleaning mechanism so be careful and if it isn't necessary don't touch it. just use clean watested
- apple cider vinegar? ive been taking two shots of that shit daily.. i got a couple bottles. ill dilute it and apple with apply with a Qtip.pockets
- i hear putting dry rice into a sock and microwaving it keeps heat and to set it on my eye for 10min dailypockets
- ill dilute it and apply with a Qtip*
thanks robopockets - urban legends :) apple cider and rice whats next some satanist séance? :)sted
- everyone says stye's are painful but to be honest its really not that bad, besides the fact my eye lid is swollen and looks like i got punched in the facepockets
- I get them all the time, from dry eye looking at the screen. Don't use ACV long just few quick swipes to clean and disinfect and tiny drop to enter eye.robotron3k
- I get these often. Rinse well using baby shampoo. If it gets worse, heat a red potato in microwave for 45 seconds and use as compress for 15 min before washing.monospaced
- coconut oil works wonders as well, cut healing time down instantly.robotron3k
- If it’s alreasy swollen, it’s infected. It might go away on its own but you might also need an antibiotic for it. Really depends on how it progresses. Clean!monospaced
- Whatever you do DO NOT PUT CIDER VINEGAR ON IT!!!!!! Don’t drink it either. Waste of time. Whoever said that is a moron, sorry.monospaced
- get with it sted... https://www.earthcli…robotron3k
- no never ever ACV raw, it's tough on skin, always dilute.robotron3k
- https://i.imgur.com/…pockets
- Hot/warm compress (rice or potato) for 15 min without lifting it off. Then clean with baby shampoo. Keep it up.monospaced
- Take care of that bad boy quick pockets, I had to get one cut out one time as it became permanent.robotron3k
- btw, soaking tea bags and putting on eye doesn't do shite...robotron3k
- I’ve had them turn into chalazions too, robo, and has them excised. Not fun. He’s right, keep it clean. Don’t fuck with it. See doctor if it gets worse.monospaced

Good god... Have I really upset that many of you?
My gut says there are a couple of serial DVers due to how quickly some posts (not just mine) will go from 5+ to -5 or worse (sometimes in literally minutes).
But seriously... if I've really upset you guys that you have to DV my work / everyday participation (even a note about my grandmother's death) then grow a set of balls and speak up if you're really that offended by me.
Attacking every post is only going to out you as a serial DVer and 'hopefully' have a QBN hall monitor put an end to your bullshit...
... else if it's not one or two of you then maybe the rest of you join up in the notes over there and tell me to "get lost"... and I'll get lost.
I thought I could laugh it off... but it stings a bit... I go at it w/a few of you over politics from time to time and we exchange bullshit name-calling like anyone else (keyword being 'exchange' as I get it dished at me as hard as I dish it from time to time)... though I'm not sure what I've done here to be a receiver of a guaranteed shit-on DVed post regardless of what it's about.
- ??? What post?pango
- lol at serial DVers :D
don't take it so seriously, where is your confidence? these up/down votes are close to meaningless because the system we have.sted - QBN “hall monitors” would “out” serial downvoters and what, ban them? How would that work?monospaced

I take the photos for our new staff - they get used on the website and as smaller versions on CV's for bids and the like.
We have a couple of new folk, one being a middle-aged woman originally from Iran who moved to Sweden in the 80's - we had a grand conversation about the situation there and how she took part in the protests against the Shah in '79 and how things became increasingly fucked towards the end of his rule. Right. So she sits down in the spot and I take a few test shots. Cool. I take about 15-20 or so because it's a hot light and everyone has things to do.
She carries herself well, well dressed, jet-black hair. Could get some decent shots from this. No. She insists on doing this fucking wretched duckface for half the shots, with her head tilted back like fucking whiplash. So of course she chooses the worst to go on the site. Jesus fucking Christ.

''Instagrammers are sucking the life and soul out of travel''
Article : https://www.theguardian.com/comm…
'– The Instagrammability of a destination is apparently now the number one motivation for booking a holiday for millennials.'
'You might think social media would diversify the range of images we see, yet the most popular users operate according to a strict schema that takes full advantage of the relevant algorithms (creative, fascinating accounts are still there, but said algorithms make them harder to find). And it’s not just travel – it’s interiors, fashion, weddings, food, children. Social media encourages the memeification of human experience. Instead of diversity we see homogeneity. It’s extremely boring.'
- No wonder Iceland has too many tourists lately. Its becoming a problem. Everyone want those IG pictures as seen 1,000,0000 time everywhere on IG.Bennn

LOL - I'm being interviewed in person next week for a Discovery Science Channel tv show, simply because of this video I recorded and posted on YouTube seven years ago. Started getting calls a few weeks ago from a producer in the UK to talk to me about it, figured that a phone call would be the extent of it. Turns out, nope, they doing a story on this and sending someone out to Chicago where they're talking to physicists at a university about how phenomena like this occurs. So ridiculous but should be fun.

My interest for graphic design is fading away more and more as years pass by. My interest are more and more into photography.
My job is like 2% design and 98% other stuff and used to do some freelance at home but I only have one client now that give me like 4-5 jobs each year, and I use to create personal projects all the time in the past and I was browsing lots of websites and blogs about graphic design, but I find them really boring now.
Am I the only one in here?
- do you do anything art wise, or build anything that could keep your creative juices flowing? Might bring you back to design or open a new door.capn_ron
- Photography is where the juice is flowing lately. But for 2018 I want to make 1 creation every month, could be photo, illustration or graphic design.Bennn

Update on the girl I met in November and thought I had met the love of my life: it didn't work out.
Long story short, I went to DR last week and we broke up due to lack of trust and other crap that comes with long-distance relationships.
The good part is I got to see the fam and friends.
