Hey there all my lovelies! I hope this finds everyone well and healthy and successful (I mean, you’re here so that much is a given)! Please take a moment to make a new and awesome friend of mine welcome to the family when you have a second. She’s absolutely hysterical, wise beyond her years and gifted in more ways than I - which, despite my seething jealousy remains quite impressive... Welcome to WdC, m’dear!

WOOHOO! Any friend of Drew's is surely a friend of min. Welcome, WELCOME, janel_sparrow |
Tarnation I just love all y’all! |
And we definitely love you back, Drew~ |
So it's officially 9 years with the likes of y'all and I couldn't be more proud. Thank you all so much - the list of for what and from whom is too large to mention but all 80 of you know who you are. *ping!* Oh, and this, as well - I kinda went and published a lil? Am ... publishing? lol New columnist for a site I sadly (and rather proudly - thanks, Saxon genes) can't link here or mention in mixed company, rofl. One of my heroes in controversy, a photo/filmographer whose work - which spanned from 1945-92 - and subsequent jail sentences decided what exactly "decent" meant with regard to contemporary art. So yeah, I get to write about one of my heroes every other week or so. No big whup. Just a dream come true. Love to all y'all, ~Drew |
This is one of those rather abstract, thinking out loud kinda posts, I guess ... so much to say but understanding all too well that anyone reading doesn't have time to peruse another of my impromptu treatises of pseudo-philosophical thought-spasms. I miss you guys though. It's been a tough summer with work and life at home, and needless to say - as anyone concerned has long-since noticed - this year began with lotsa big dreams and lofty hopes, all left hastily pinned on the vision board, as it were. And I hate doing that. So apologies where appropriate, gratitude where deserved, and my best to all regardless. I'm around, I see you, and I'm forever proud to be a part of you and this amazing community. I've been an agitator at times, and a beneficial contributor as well, but the best word I can come up with that takes both into consideration is, after some unnecessarily self-critical deep thought, a family member. And for all the ups and downs, I still love all y'all in this big damn online family. Can't help it, and I'm proud that I can't. Gonna try for Short Shots if time and work permit, and as always if anyone needs me I'll do everything possible to lend a hand. x 1025, Drew |
With a small amount of subtle photo tweaking I got a fun shot of my MINI with the new angel eyes/halo DRLs installed. There was nothing small or subtle about their installation, though. So ugh and time consuming, and yet so wicked as well. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** BattyBoy, you so bad... |

Jewell yeah that whole day was rough. Even for a used one it's a sweet little ride, hehe, thankees. Amazing clutch and throttle response so I'm darting around, left foot breaking, rev matching downshifts and crap, lol. It *might* survive me all the way back to NC. It's an adventure though. ;) |
'Ey, The StoryMaster . Whattup, man! I coulda posted this in your notebook but I figured you'd throw rocks at me. Anyway! Can you code in some kinda something that'll block me out of my Stats & Info screen like, I dunno, after the 500th time per day I spamclick it? Or like, broadcast each click over that 500 limit through Scroll so it shames me into stopping? I dunno what I'm looking for - I mean, y'know, aside from that referring link from randomhouse dot com of course - but it's just a rage button eventually rofl. I feel neurotic. Well, I mean, I am regardless, but ... you're enabling me. Hehe, if anyone asks it's just the meds. Hope everyone's doing well. *scampers off* |
Charlie ~ No, none whatsoever. *pounce!* Carol St.Ann You remember that donated raffle package of mine that you won, ages ago? With the guitar instrumental? Hehe, I recently found that recording again. The StoryMaster Does #enabler mean you want "enabler" trending, or that you enable hashtags? 'Cause I know some hashtags, and some I assume are very good people. Pat ~ Rejoice always! Pahh? ...paaht ... paaaht...PAT!!! Augh!! How've you been, m'lady?? It's been æons! There's a flower for your grammar garden! I call it an elilypsis ... I'm so very clever! *SCAMPERS OFF!* |
A.T.B: It'sWhatWeDo, you're a real charmer; that's what you are--and that's one of the many things I love about you! |
I remember. Say... Does that mean you're finally happy with it and I'm finally going to get to hear it? |
So I've had oral surgery, and it's just as miserable as the last time (at half my age for the wisdom teeth extraction) and I'm every bit as moody and "paingry" now as I was then, and I can't keep a thought in my head for more than 11 seconds. If I've promised you something or you've sent a question or request, please be patient and extra super understanding for the next few days. I know and haven't forgotten - I promise. ~Drew |
So I've been figuring out this photos thing lately and thought it only fitting I upload a crap-ton of pics for any interested.
Time waits for no ... man? |
The esteemed Captain Hannah ♫♥♫ has kindly seen fit to extend this cadet an honorary commission to the Invalid Item aboard the fine ship Adoria, where I shall comport myself with excellence and undertake my obligations as Algae Morale Officer-Food Stores with dignity and my most determined effort. Just as soon as I'm cleared in that nasty airlock incident with the former Food Stores officer. I will now take your questions. No-no, not you ... you're fake news.
