You mean for drawing a line that our dipsh!t government should not tell a random person whose health or other circumstances they know absolutely nothing about what they must put into their body?
What's your point?

My point? My point is that you're a REBEL and a PIRATE and CREATIVE and an INDEPENDENT THINKER which are among the many reasons you are AWESOME... but an unfortunate aspect of being rebelliously awesome is that it often leaves little time, as you note, for "fun little random projects." Or... there are simply too many fun little random projects and not enough time... after being a rebellious pirate... or putting grub on the table... or making the grueling round-trip trek to a "real city" for necessary supplies... to even get started on all the things we want to try or do.

Funny (as in, irritating) how, here in the States, where nearly everybody was full-on in support of vaxxing and boosters and more boosters and mandatory "jabs" and mass firings, it is now difficult to find anyone who admits they supported all that. They all did but now they deny it. It's an absolutely parallel illustration of how, after a certain war in the 1940s, people of a certain European nationality denied knowing anything about a certain mass social program and denied ever being in support of the government and the policies behind that program, and everybody somehow, overnight, reimagined themselves as having been part of the resistance or the underground. 

I'm currently taking some time to "slack off" and I still feel I don't have time to even slack off properly! I want to take pictures and build dolly scenes; I want to exercise and lose some weight; I want to read books books and more books, I have such a stack of books and the library here is excellent; I want to start practicing the ukulele again, and maybe paint and draw, and I want to write some stuff, and I want to tinker with making Internet websites, and I want to keep up with all my Flickr and forum contacts, and I want to watch some movies and TV shows; and I want to figure out maintenance and project priorities for next spring; and sometimes I want to just sit and do nothing; but there isn't time enough in a day, or a week, or a month, to hardly even get started.

Anyway, here's an industrious image:

17 November - A Doll A Day 2023:

Fix-It Guy

I dunno... could Guy Who Looks Like He Belongs On A TV Home Improvement Show replace Janie and Triv?

I found the sheet of tin at a Dollar Tree store (cost: $1.25) in their craft section. It makes an almost perfect corrugated tin sheet for 1/6-scale action figure scenes. I snapped a quick pic to show somebody online who has been looking for scale model tin roof material, at which point I realized how much like a TV Fixit Guy this figure looks. I don't think he'd be as much fun as Janie and Triv are when working on projects, but he looks the part!
