I Don't Often Rant; but When I Do, I Prefer to Rant on VJ

This was my first time! Never, ever been before. We had wench costumes, but they were awful

I'm thinking:

Or something like it.

I love Ren Faires! I've thought about applying to work at the one here in Georgia but it would mean every weekend between April and June and I know how worn out I get after one weekend - so I think I will just stick to getting dressed up and attending the Ren Faires on my schedule:-). My granddaughter is actually apprenticed as a bowyer with an archery 'store' that travels around to different Ren Festivals. I checked to see if she is at the Minnesota Ren Faire, but she was at the Wisconsin Faire in August and is now at one in Ohio. She absolutely loves it! She dresses like Merida on "Brave'

Kathryn, just do what I did and find a volunteer opportunity! Actually, I don't know if those are easy to come by?? I was thinking yesterday that I would totally sign up next year to work but then I completed two days and I'm absolutely shattered, so I think I'm like you. I'll volunteer again next year in full costume, but no way could I swing two months of that.

It was also really eye-opening to the service industry People are DEMANDING.

Good evening everyone

So....double chocolate cheesecake came out well, so did the carrot cupcakes with maple frosting and especially the while balsamic tart....everyone loved it at the party...weeeee was fun party. Talked to a lot of people, was great !! There was one annoying drunk guy who was slightly too close for comfort but I avoided him.

There was a lot of food and it was great great great ! Got back at midnight no left overs.

What else happened....I worked outside a bit, got on my bike, packed some more. Everyone leaving on Tuesday.

Very. Omg very. I think everyone in the world ahould have to do at least a restaurant (preferably server) or retail job. Then maybe people would stop being such jerks.

So you know what I find really irritating about Canada? These parental permission forms. I moved with my kid to Denmark, no one said a word in Iceland or in Denmark, but to go shopping in Canada, 40 minutes from my house, I need permission from the man whose never seen his kid?

[Novembro 1,763]

What are those?

Make my kiddo an Elsa costume and she'll love you forever....

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Has he ever seen a pic of his kid?

His grandparents kept huge pictures of her around the house and his parents enjoy torturing him by showing him.

And has he ever asked to see his child?

No, why would he?

So because Canada tries to make sure children aren't abducted that's a bad thing? You have sole custody don't you? Will that paperwork do? Both my ex and I need a travel consent form to cross the border in EITHER direction. It's asked for by both the CBP and the CBSA.

But hey I get how it's annoying only because I have to do it all the time. She needs special travel consent forms and I pay and extra $300 round trip for tickets when she travels alone.
