Someone ordered a Dr Who nappy and left it up to us what was on it. We found silhouettes online and hand drew them to match.
Oh, I see the DW. Pretty cool parents who wanted the logo on a nappy. Young parents now are so creative expressing their individuality.
Cool indeed. She's very excited. She says the hardest thing is going to be NOT using the voice and saying "Urinate! Urinate!" every time she puts it on her bub.

Hello, reading through all your posts made me think about my life. You have all lived interesting, wonderful, and fulfilling lives. Sorry some of you haven't had the smoothest and happiest moments throughout life.
For me, I am 24 at the moment and live on the east coast of the United States. Not much is really happening lately. I have two degrees which are elementary ed/specialization in middle school language arts (double certification areas) , and communications arts. Currently I substitute when they call me and work retail, but unfortunately both of those haven't been great lately; slow season with subbing and corporate cut the hours at the store so my hours per week are cut a little more than half. That is okay in the long run since my heart isn't in retail.
Ideally I want to be a teacher and most of the kids (who aren't trying to take advantage of a substitute) respond well to me as I care about them learning and understanding the topics. Unfortunately though with the job market I haven't been able to find a job in the two years since I graduated. I've had some interviews but it comes down to me not having enough experience yet and them hiring someone older or someone who has children.
That is a bit discouraging, but I'll keep trying even if sometimes it seems like I should have studied something else. When I started the program teachers were needed and it was something I wanted to do for years prior to entering the program.
Besides that most people seem to get along with me, and unless I am crossed the wrong way I am happy to interact with anyone who want to converse with me. For me honesty, respect and kindness go a long way which has caused some unsettling social interactions in the past of people taking advantage of my kindness both in high school, college, and even from one or two co-workers.
Still single, as I never really had much of anything happen in that part of my life. I was really shy when I was younger and when I reached out to people who seemed nice I ended up getting told that they were just messing with me for half a year. Let's just say that had led to trust issues.
In the future I do hope to have a job since I would really like to be able to financially help myself and help others. I have always enjoyed helping others which is why I work with a community camp in the summers, and want to be a teacher. It is also why I accepted the position of admin on the DragonVale Wiki; it made it easier to create a cleaner theme and layout while providing information to people seeking it.
Not being able to financially support myself and still leeching off my parents has been tough on me the past two years as I expected more to happen by now, but I'll keep trying and eventually my time will come; even if I have to change career paths.
Other than that I would like to write a story/book someday for people to enjoy, and I am looking forward to contributing to this forum as I have already seen a lot of great threads.
Hope my life is as wonderful and fulfilling as yours. I know I am still young so there is time for things to turn around even if it is discouraging at times.
Oh, and I am passionate about things I really care about and have a bit of an addictive personality when it comes to things I like. Probably explains some things.
We are glad you have joined us... Welcome... Addictive personalities are all ways welcome here... 😃...

Welcome! Teaching is a noble position. I could only imagine the challenge you face with our budget cuts. Just know in your heart this time will pass and be open to the opportunities that presents itself.
Thought I'd add some photos of my beautiful slice of Croatia. Our village is called Betina and it's on the island of Murter (which loosely translates to the island of death in Latin! Something to do with it's pirate and smuggler past!!
We are extremely close to the mainland on one side and on the other we have the National Park Kornati which is an archipelago of 1000s of little islands. The legend is that God gave all the people's of the earth land to flourish on but when he had finished the Croats had been forgotten so he gave them the land he had been saving for himself! If you ever sailed those waters you'd believe it!!!!
Wow Glenys! Breathtaking views! Thank you for sharing!

Welcome to the forum and addiction. I am so glad you joined us! Please make yourself at home. I'm happy to see another east coast person. Don't give up on your teaching career. I am sure something will come along. These are hard times right now and I for one do not look at it like leeching of your parents...it is very tough right now but things will hopefully start looking up soon. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. *thumbs up*

Thank you for your sincere candid post. You have a safe place to express yourself.
Someone else said it already - teaching is a noble professional. Helping young ones as they set out on life is an important responsibility. Stay on course - as my beloved Papa Grogan used to say to me, "Never, never settle.".
And nothing wrong with living with your parents. That's what family is for. You will have your turn to help them as you get further along on the Circle of Life.
It's great to have you here.

Yes...until you have to mow it! Two and a half hours on a riding lawn tractor. And guess who's the dummy that planted the seed?
Proper scale though. I'm originally from the Right Coast (Vermont) and in all the years that I've been on the Left Coast, I've never gotten used to the lack of proper scale. Here you will commonly find huge houses on tiny lots. Which looks like a very large woman in tights teetering on tall high heels.

Typical New England weather. We broke a heat record in our capital of 92 degrees...and tonight there's a frost advisory for the northern valleys. You never know...that's what I love about it.

Almost spit my coffee across the room with that imagery! Too funny!
