emm... I want to become more active on the forum, and with the members.. and I've been reading through some venting threads and whatnot so... why not.
Today I got some exercise! Been using Dad's e-bike and I really like it. It's a bit tall for me though, I really struggle getting on and off it sometimes.. thinking I might get my own in a smaller size though because it's a lot easier to pedal. I enjoy going up and down the road on it and it's not so much of a struggle with my fat self going up and down hills lol.
I've been working at Dollar General 3 days a week recently, it's been Tuesday, Friday and Saturday (usually 5-9ish). so if anyone's wondering where I've been on those days, yeah..
*edit* on another note, I've been thinking seriously about making a Discord server for Sparky's, that will mimic the board since so many of us use Discord nowadays. I wonder if anyone would actually join, though..

Oh, While I Knew You worked Retail, I was not aware it was the Dollar General, though I do recall those being your days.
You got an Exercise Bicycle, then? Though, if you have issues getting on and off it, is it possible to adjust the seating on the Bicycle itself?

Biking is very fun - nice way to have some exercise in your life. I bike to work myself and I've found this neat trail that while longer, takes me through lots of wonderful nature.

I've... never even heard of an e-bike before. I had to look up what it is. It's like a half way point between a regular bike and a dirt bike, I guess.
Well good for you getting some exercise. Keep it up and you might lose some weight. ^_^
I used to ride bikes myself but I got tired of being chased by dogs so I quit.

Can I admit, the previous time that I have actually ridden a Bicycle was like...almost a decade ago!?

well, the difference is that it's assisted pedaling. Basically, you pedal a little and the motor revs and it takes you down the road a bit. It makes it a lot easier to ride up hills and stuff than when you're just pedaling an ordinary bike.
And I just bought my own! I hope it doesn't take too long to get here, I love Dad's bike. To address the question you brought up Bab, it's not really my bike, so I don't think Dad will adjust it to suit me ^^;

Fair Point, I did some research after the post, and saw it was one of those Bicycles. Initially, I thought it was just one of those Exercise Bicycles, you get in Gyms or some thing, so adjusting it would not be too much hassle.
I admit, Hills were always difficult for me...like I post, it's been almost a decade, since the previous time I've ridden a bicycle.
Ooooooooh, You have it ordered or purchased In-Store?

It is ordered from Amazon. I hope it gets here asap because I really want to get started riding it!

The other day, someone called me entitled, specifically in regards to my behavior on this board. This puzzled and bothered me, did I really come across that way? =/
I won't say who it was so, if you comment here, you will out yourself... XP but their comment did bother me. If I ever came across as entitled, then I'm sorry. Wasn't intending to come across like that.

sooo I'm looking through my old posts and I really don't see the entitlement. Not on my other account either. I mean, I guess it's possible I copped an attitude on my old now deleted account, but as far as I can tell I don't really see it.
Just someone blowing things out of proportion and exaggerating YET AGAIN.. XP

Not sure why I bother posting here, considering Bab is the only one who regularly acknowledges me =/ I can understand that three of the active members hate my guts and want me gone, but what about the rest of you? I mean what am I chopped liver?
Even the other day, I post a picture of Slayer and what do I get? Someone saying they miss OG Slayer, the member. NO acknowledgement of me, my artwork, or the fact that he belongs to me now. Like, sorry I'm not Kenny? I mean hello? And random posts responding to other members in my art thread without any acknowledgement of my actual artwork that I took the time and effort to make and then post here?
And Star, the most acknowledgement I've gotten is, "I prefer the OG Star". That's just insulting and hurtful. It seems to insinuate that my version is inferior and not liked despite the fact that I OWN HER and I feel she has ten times more personality than OG Star was ever given by her original creator.
My characters posted hardly get any acknowledgement either.
If you guys treat new members like this it's no wonder so many of them just come and go and never look back. =/ I frankly feel ostracized and I've considered deleting my account many times. It's not like I need it when you can just come and go as you please and post anonymously...

And why bother posting art here when it gets ten times more feedback on Twitter? If I just wanted to post for the shizzles, I could put it on FA and see if it gets more than 6 favorites.. The best reason I could come up with for not just going with an anon account is that I like decorating my profile and I think the anon posting is super ugly...seriously...
I've been told I'm a "bully" and I "get away with everything" even though I've looked through my past posts and just don't see it??? Sorry critique is apparently considered bullying and stating my own opinion regarding a ship and certain canon character is "getting away with everything".

Oh Dear, where abouts did this happen for the Slayer comment?
I mean, I did get a similar comment about a Slayer & Jenny Image of mine, and while I can definately understand missing OG Slayer, a comment on the Image itself would be nice, too.
If it helps in some way, OG Slayer did comment on the Image too and he did say he's happy that Slayer is in good hands with you.
That some comfort in the case of Slayer?

it's minor comfort Bab, the point is I'm pretty sure I'm being ghosted here.
