@Shaz51 Well you sure have a perfect spot for it! I'm still ondering about that chair you have found. Maybe you'll bring us news about it? 😉
@Former-Member I know someone on the island who might not be so happy you're around... then again he does probably know you. Hmmm will have to think on that one.
@CheerBear I know you are taking a break but just wanted to say I'm ever so looking forward to this welcome sign. I have a feeling it is going to be super special whenever it gets here.

the chair department of this island is ... ooo ... la la la
@Spookytookims and Co
Can I make a proviso about the rules thingamy
That we have to keep in mind - the purpose of any rule
That ethics & relevance are more important than just sticking to them for the sake of it
I have this terrible Stockholm Syndrome thing going
I am mostly rule abiding but cant cope with sticklers ... can I just be a part-timer if it is a problem with the turtle @Phoenix tagging an issue .. also connexion issues atm
Cheerio til later

I'm sorry I haven't been around the Island much this weekend. After hanging out with my friends in the waterfall pool, I spent a long time tidying up and making comfy corners for all the wonderful new island folk we have here! I got a bit sidetracked though, because I came across some colouring in stuff so I spent the weekend making a sign for the island. While I don't have an arty bone in my body and the best I can draw is basic shapes, I like things bright and colourful (just in case you haven't noticed), so I hope you all like it too.
@Spookytookims - I was trying to be super clever and make 16 circles representing the 16 types, and colour the whole thing in with creeks and beach and sand kind of colours, but that required too much thinking and we both know that's not exactly my strong point lol. While this helped keep me busy and calm, I made this mostly as a thank you for you, for being the most fun distraction lately. This is also the exact image I would expect to see if someone took a picture of inside my brain 😉 I have started making a journal of my "journey to recovery" which included things like the work my phams worker and I were doing (ouch at the moment). This is going to be put in my journal and I keep everything sentimental. So you and TI and will be stuck there forever (hope that's not creepy lol) 😊
Good night Turtle Island

@Appleblossomit's a bit worrying yet intriguing you put stockholm syndrome in with the island. That's not to say I doubt you have good reason for doing so, on the contrary I suspect you have very good reasons for it. I'd like to ask why but I'm sure you would share that if you felt comfortable enough so I won't pry though I am very curious.
The rules are really just loose atm and more for the security of all, and they will be discussed before implementation, which is actually rule number 2. Because Phoenix needs calm we only want to make rules everyone is comfortable with following, but Maybe rule number 4 could be if any rule needs to be broken, reasons for it could be discussed prior to breaking it. Not sure if that would be a solution you'd be comfortable with but it is an idea I'd like to throw your way to hear your views of it.
Either way, you are quite free to be a resident that jumps between both islands - there's always that solution 🙂 That would make you a part time resident but account for your absences if you need any. I'm not sure if @TheVorticon has rules on his island, but we can certainly ask him if he does and what they are. 🙂
How does any of that sound? Anything workable in it? If not just give me some more ideas of what it is you are wanting.. because the more input I get the better my ideas can flow 🙂 and after all... it is your character. Love that you put something in by the way... and what a twist! Stockholm syndrome. Did not see that one coming but would love to work with it.

@Former-Member rightio.. I'm beginning to see Turtle island maybe a bit darwinian in nature, a la the galapagos islands.... does anyone else see a dna relationship between Daisy and the "new" Sherry?
That's an absulute must to change, if you don't mind Sherry can I use that in my stories when I eventually get to a next episode? Because I think it is too good to bypass. 🙂
@Shaz51aren't those chairs so inviting and comfy? I love them too.

ok.. now the biggie!!! OMG that is just seriously just.. wow! @CheerBear I am blown away, no really I am just looking at that thinking "OMG Wow!!" Anything else I say just won't be good enough. That is just perfect and amazing and just everything ... everything. Please please please add it to our front page. Please.
I'm copying that to my desktop, I'm sure you will say yes I can do that... but if you say no... I'm still going to do it. Yeah I know that probably sounds really awful, but I want that as a memory, as a reminder and as a symbol of everything good in my life right now.
Thank you soooo much. omg heart and bears and stuff... and dancing pink water spraying elephants with big smiley faces to boot. 😛 LOVE IT!!!!!
L❤️VE IT!!

@CheerBear I showed your welcome drawing to my partner. He responded with "that's really good"... which by his understated expressions is like,.. "holy cr@p that's fantastic" nothing I've ever done has received said accolades. The best I've got is "yeah that's ok".
