did you have a crisis? or was this a scheduled thing? what is it . . . . . that happened, or what?

 

[X-Puppy]

that's what she said

where else can you find such high-brow humour?

Did you change that? Sometimes nothing works.

 

[X-Puppy]

thamks

had crisis assessment treatment team today

90 minutes travel, for lots of questions, no answers. And follow up tomorrow with a psychiatrist

Maybe the good doc will prescribe better living through modern chemistry.

No Thorazine shuffle though, that would not be good.


Sorry, just how my mind works sometimes… not all the time. Actually, seldom, for brief moments.

 

[X-Puppy]

it's hard not to.

Sometimes easier said than done. Seize the moment.

Sorry, brains working overtime today.

 

[Doffy]

i'm OK

i don't have words really

just stupid

 

[pdib]

ok

 

[Doffy]

did you have a crisis? or was this a scheduled thing? what is it . . . . . that happened, or what?

today's appointment in itself, just being listened to and heard helped

he said ride that wave. And ongoing dr can do something like increase risperidone and valproate. But, ket the ongoing dr do it

friday appointment with social worker. Much closer to home

maybe you can post lamp snippets, to celebrate

 

[pdib]

well, I am processing/sorting pics of a new lamp.
I'll try and get some up here in a bit.

meanwhile, you ride that wave.

 

[pdib]

OK, here's a couple.
This oughta . . . . errm . .. yeah.

I'm revisiting some tried and true techniques/approaches here.
I do like this style of my lampeture.
So, maybe room for another lamp in this style in the world.
Also, just was curious to see how it would go (doing this style) with a bit more experience behind it.

[the excuse for lots of pics this time is: in just quickly grabbing a handful, I didn't take the time to cull . . . so . . . ]

 

[Doffy]

Love the subtlety of curves

And the possibly wood knot (?) In pic #4

 

[pdib]

yeah, here's the appetizing part:
those are actually cankers caused by a fungus (Neofusicoccum arbuti . . . as it turns out).
They look pretty cool, and I enjoy using them "as they lie" in my projects.

Our local trees were heavily stricken by disease some years ago (IDK, 5-10 yrs ago); and that's partly why I get to use so much Madrona in my stuffs.
There's a lot of trees that have been cut down or trimmed to try and save the tree.

Madrona was my favorite tree back when I was younger (when I had favorite things): so I can't say that I'm happy that they're suffering,
. . . . but I'm glad for the opportunity to walk around in the woods and find cool branches to cut from and bring home.

 

[pdib]

 

[Doffy]

So these green globules are those groovy marks in the wood?

 

[pdib]

the black in the middle.
the tree looks to be puckering around it.
I think Madronas do the same puckering for various reasons.
I've seen the same around where one had dropped a branch n' such.
Probably anywhere it's trying to close back up, for whatever reason, you'd see like the green part looks in that pic.

 

[Doffy]

Yuck. Crowded

 

[pdib]

see if you can scare up that sand tractor and run it down the beach.
that oughta be a hoot.

 

[Doffy]

i don'y understand people trekking to the beach to sunbake and sleep

the sun is a funny thing. It does discriminate a little between regions. But not between beach and not beach

 

[pdib]

looks like Keith just did some catching up.
Hi Keith.

i don'y understand people trekking to the beach to sunbake and sleep

The only thing more atrocious than other people taking a moment to enjoy life is when they do it right where you can see it!
