Here's my family's Southern breakfast (I'm from Texas): Buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy Eggs with salsa Bacon More buttermilk biscuits with butter and strawberry jam and/or honey Sausage Milk Orange juice Coffee Sweet tea Ham Grits (if you like'em, not everyone in my family does. I like mine ...

I "fixed" my Minolta! Whoo!

We'll find out if I actually did fix her when I develop the film!

Whoo!

I kind of like the timeline on FB. *shrugs*

I've been back on FB with my real name for a while. Feel free to add me: Jasmine Mann Manchester, NH

I would, but we are on the complete opposite side of the nation. I can't really recommend NH, or Boston, for that matter. But if you're in a bind, let me know. I could probably make accommodations for you on my couch. But I have a dog. And a kid. We are loud and there are early wake-up calls every d...

A Stormtrooper gas mask.

A pic is up in the album to let everyone know I'm not kidding.

Once again, I lend my car to everyone. If we're doing Falmouth, I would definitely need lodging. Boston is ok at an hour, but Falmouth to NH is 2 hours. :/ And I could certainly ferry people from Boston airport down to Falmouth with me. Or, fly into the Manchester, NH airport. It's cheaper, and I'm ...

I got fresh ink today and it feels fabulous.

Eugh. My hours have been cut at work. No calls for any other permanent shifts. Looking for a second job. Am now a regular at a local coffeehouse open mic. Took a wine making class. Gonna get a tat next weekend.

Bam.

He needs to get help. The son not the father. There is no help for the father. But the son needs to let go. Keeping that stuff is like constantly nicking yourself with a razor, eventually it is going to hit an artery. Providing this is all real and not just an attempt to become the next internet ph...

With no working cameras, I've been using Instagram on my iPad. It's a neat app. Having fun with it.

Still learning, but making progress. Haven't kept up with uploading videos. I know way more songs now. Played a couple of open mics. A regular at a local coffee shop now. Feels good to do something I love, even if I don't get paid for it. Also got myself some picks. They closed down my local music ...

I will give my own story on this: my grandfather (mother's father) died of colon cancer. He was a religious smoker, as well as a religious drinker of gin. He'd drink from 9 am until he passed out at night. In between that time, he'd puff away. He never developed lung cancer, or liver cancer until hi...

I found out I got a $.10 raise. w00t! I guess I must be doing something right helping old people. I had supposedly already gotten all my raises I'm entitled to.

Hugs to anyone who needs them! I forget to answer when I read the posts in the first place. An update about my mom: she is done with her chemo! Now she will have radiation treatment every day for a month, and then she will be done. Her hair should start growing back in about 3 months, so she's happy...

Autism is not merely poor speech. People with Asperger's usually have no speech problems. My son was diagnosed with high functioning autism last year. He's 5 now, and just starting to speak clearly. When he was around a year old, he would put two words together that would make sense; highly unusual ...

I got my nose pierced on a whim last night. Whoo! How much inspiration did you ingest beforehand? Haha :p Absolutely none. I did have a beer afterward, though. It hurt like hell, but I'm glad I just went for it. Now I want a Madonna piercing, and maybe a septum piercing somewhere down the line, but...

I try not to come out from under my rock lately. Is there karma in making sure your family is well-fed and safe? That's about all I can manage. :/

I got my nose pierced on a whim last night. Whoo!

One of my former friends during high school is now a famous stripper in Houston. (I can't remember her stage name, so don't ask.) It's not really a surprise. As far as that, I'm not sure. I don't keep up with anyone from HS, really. I hated those years. Renee Zellweger graduated from my high school....

This may sound silly, but does anyone have any recommendations for their favorite acoustic strings? I think I've been using the D'addario PB's and they seem to be pretty decent. I'm just wondering if there's anything better out there for the same price range. My mom bought me some recording equipmen...
