In verschillende filialen langs het schap gelopen en idd: de hele kleine (iets van 5ml ofzo) potjes of de 100ml potten zijn er te vinden, maar deze staan niet eens op een kaartje, dus lijkt idd echt er uit te zijn in iedere AH
I was looking for frogs online, as one does, and this website of a local-ish (everything in this country is like max 3 hrs away from eachother, so...) store that sells LEGO parts had a discount listing on some frogs. Others were their regular prices and under another listing.
The discount listing, however, had 2 colour options; green, with a pic of a green frog and the usual pricing for it, and.... a picture of the flat silver frog, colour name trans green in our language, and a price that made me think there must be a mistake here.
I did need the tan, olive green and flat silver they had in the non-discounted listing, and shipment here all at once was cheaper than getting everything separately on BrickLink, so i was like "imma toss this one in the cart. Worst case scenario, i will have a spare silver one, best case, i will have a real cheap trans green one" and pretty much expected the silver one to show up twice and the trans green colour id to have been a mistake....
And then when the envelope arrived, there it was. A beautifully transparent froggy along with the 3 other colours!
The listing had disappeared from their availability a day after my order, so idk if they realised and were like "ok, it was bought fair and square, so our loss"?
Maybe they misplaced the , by a decimal and meant to list it for €15,20 (the cheapest currently on Bricklink is 16,99, not counting one for 8,88 that states it is cracked, also the cheapest i can find with no min purchase is 20,95)
Idk what happened, but i am so happy!
I always heard trans green was the most expensive and rarest colour and didn't expect getting it before even completing the rest of the colour set, but here we are!
I have a blacklight on my keychain (to look for uranium glass in thriftstores) and decided to shine it on my frogs. This is so fun!
I know a lot of people have already completed their frog lineup, but i am just slowly collecting ones i happen to find (for now).
So far, i have these:
white, bright pink, coral, magenta, red, reddish brown, gold (old&new), yellow, lime, green, dark bluish gray
How do yall display your frogs? I also have about 50 duplicate frogs (mostly golds) that i wanna do something fun with eventually, but am not sure what.
This way of displaying the different colours is just a way to temporarily keep them together.
I was able to get in contact with customer support after my previous post and while we were unable to get back into my old account, they did change some things on their end so i could atleast make a new bricklink acc linked to my lego acc, so i restarted designing my frogpond from scratch.
This time actually taking into account what parts actually exist in which colours instead of as previously first going for what looks good. It's far from done, but the parts i wanna use are "set to the side" in their actual colours so i can easily copy and paste towards my final creation.
My goal is to eventually have a cute thing to display with enough room to easily add more colours of frogs when i find them/when lego releases a new one and i would love to see some inspiration from fellow lovers of the cutest lego piece to ever be made :)
Bonus pic: the giant one i 3d printed in shiney emerald filament a bit ago. I love it so much xD
Had een tijd geleden al een post gemaakt waarin ik vroeg of iemand merch wist te vinden van Villa Volta mijn vriend zijn favo attractie. Idd geen officiele merch van dat ding te vinden (buiten een pin die alleen heeeeel duur 2ehands te vinden is), terwijl zowat alle andere dingen in de Efteling op zijn minst een sleutelhanger of ansichtkaart lijken te hebben. Wij vinden dit erg jammer.
Na advies van een andere Eftel-fan heb even geleden ergens een custom magneet en sleutelhanger laten maken met een foto van de Villa erop die ik zelf gemaakt had de vorige keer dat ik er was.
Gisteren zijn we er weer geweest en aan het eind van de dag heb ik hem de souvenirs gegeven en hij vond ze echt geweldig. H8j vroeg zich af hoe hij die in de giftshops gemist had (ik had ze thuis snel in het zakje van mijn souvenir pin gedaan) hahaha
Hoop nogsteeds dat er iets aan officiele merch van gaat komen, maar iig heeft hij nu dit al.
Bonus:
Vond het zo gaaf, dat ik voor mezelf een setje SpookSlot dingetjes heb laten maken, omdat daar destijds ook niet veel merch van was.
Deze alleen niet met eigen foto's (had er helaas geen goed/mooi/sherp etc genoeg in mijn archief) maar met fotos die ik op internet vond. Kon niet kiezen tussen binnen- en buitenkant, dus maar voor 2 magneten gegaan daar hahah
To add context: her dog and my cat have known eachother for years, they visited us many times and the two always get along just fine. We have no idea what happened this time. She was sleeping on her scratching post, he came in the room and just went... well... weird and started jumping etc to get to her. Her tail was bitten in the process and there was some bleeding, but she is fine now and it is healing well with no infections. I got some scratches from keeping the dog away from her (he is a surprisingly a very strong boy....), but am healing well too. After this all, the dog was his old self too after a bit, but we are just so confused what happened. She is keeping an eye on his behaviour.
When my bf vome home from work and heard what had happened, he offered to go get groceries with my mother and they came back home with this for me and the cat got treats ♡
Maybe the wrong tag, but idk what to pick really and i am so tired.... I'll give a bit of background info, then explain the dream and why i wanna know and hope yall can help me.
Ever since i can remember, i have been sleeping terribly. Like, in intervals of half an hour, maybe an hour, for a total of 4 or 5ish hrs a night. And once every few weeks, i will collapse and sleep for an entire day to catch me up cause my body just can't take it anymore apaprently. I have gotten used to this being the way things are and i have accepted this is just my life apparently, as nobody knows what is causing it and meds don't seem to work.
I have crazy realistic nightmares on the occasions i do sleep, have had (what i used to in that state call) "half sleep" since i was a kid, where i would just sit up, eyes wide open, talk to my mom about what i am seeing and what is happening, but the world i see is just a corrupted version of what is really around me.
I have actually written down many of my nightmares throughout the years and my friends think i am a great horror short story writer. But to me, it al feels like it is really happening.
This one i am making this post because of, i have had multiple times, which is odd as i never really have had recurring dreams.
I keep having this dream and it is driving me to desperation. I hope that by identifying what Fear it would belong to, i can work through it after figuring out what causes it and hopefully won't have it happen anymore.
Basically, in this dream, i am wearing ill-fitting clothes. That's about it. I know that sounds super silly. My bra is too big, my shirt too tight, my pants simultaneously too tight and too loose in different places. My socks are too big and shoes too small. It is driving me crazy and i try to take them off, but i can't. I claw and scratch and tear at them. But they kinda just "heal" if i move or damage any fabric. They seem to stick to my skin, yet move about it uncomfortably at the same time.
I cry and scream and throw myself against the walls and floor, but the clothes are just there in all the wrong ways and places. People around me tell me i am overreacting, that they are just clothes and that i shouldn't be dramatic. That i can just put on something else if it bothers me that much. But i cannot and i also cannot seem to explain to them that i can't.
The dream in itself is pretty bad and stressful, but it tends to translate to real life aswell;
I wake up crying with tears actually streaming down my face, and while not fun, it isn't too bad or too weird for me to wake up like that.
What is driving me insane and drove me to make this post to hopefully get some insights to fix this, is that on some occasions, my scratching and pulling at the clothes has also turned irl and has at worst broken skin and left me bleeding, at best left me with thick red scratches over my arms, chest, neck, stomach and legs.
This podcast and its universe have helped me work through a lot of things and helped me see things, break them down into categories and get through them. But with this one, i find it hard to compartmentalise what it is and where it would fall in the Fears. So i am hoping you guys can help me....
Sincerely, a very tired Arty that just had the dream again....
When my bf and i went to see Fire and Ash, it was in a theatre in our city where we always go. They never have any themed popcorn buckets or soda cups there, sadly, so i never have gotten myself any of those items for any movies.
Today i went to see Sheep Detectives with my mother (cause i used to love the book when she gave it to me) and it was only playing in a theatre a few cities over, so we went there. AND THAT CINEMA HAD THE AVATAR BUCKETS!
I couldn't afford to get both, so i left Jake behind cause ofc i had to go with the absolute queen of warcrimes, chaos and "i can't fix her, but she can definitely make me worse", our one and only Varang ♡
Definitely gonna put this up on my shelf, maybe but some fake flowers in it or something, idk, but i am sooooo happy!!! Also surprised by the quality; sturdy metal and embossed (idk if that's the right word? In my language it's "reliëf")
I love it so much!
Was so excited to show it off, so took some pics but didn't have time to actually get it out and do a solve cause we had to leave. I think it will be harder than a regular one, as some of the tones are pretty similar, but it will make for a fun challenge.
Will probably display it in the box on my shelf next to my Wednesday Funko pops, cause even the box looks cool!
