@Spookytookims I super love the latest episode. I especially love the picture of me shaking in my shell. That made me giggle because on another thread I've been talking about how I rock as a form of self-soothing - so a picture of me rocking was particularly funny.

I can definitely see what you are talking about re. a resemblance between Daisy and Sherry. I will wait with great interest to see how that part of the story evolves!

@CheerBear I super super SUPER love your picture. That is SO cool. Hey...as well as that being our welcome sign, do you think we could also make it the offical flag of Turtle Island???

@Appleblossom It sounds like the idea of "rules" is uncomfortable for you, is that right? I find that really interesting because rules make me feel calm. Somewhere else in Forum Land I've talked about how the word "boundaries" triggers icky feelings in me, whereas the word "rules" makes me feel calm and safe. I have an exercise book (which may possibly be covered in Finding Nemo paper ) that I take with me when I see my psychologist. On the first page it has our rules listed - e.g. I can email once a week, I can leave two voice messages each a max. of three minutes, etc etc. My psychologist wanted to call these "boundaries" because to her, "rules" sounds punitive/authoritarian. However, for me, it is the opposite. For me "boundaries" are punitive. Consequently, my psychologist acquiesced to calling them "rules", but she drew a cute friendly-looking sign with "rules" printed on it, at the top of the page to make herself feel better about them being rules. I find all that really interesting because it seems like such a clear demonstration of how words can take on a positive or negative connotation based on our past experiences.

I was wondering @Spookytookims, @CheerBear, @Phoenix_Rising, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, could we light a candle or something for our little lost caterpillar. I'm worried about her. Maybe a bon-fire might be better - easier to see from a distance. We could gather around it and remind each other about the great things she did 🙂

That's a great idea @Former-Member. 

I'm making cosy little nooks in the cave for us all at the moment. Nesting is what I do when I'm feeling stressed or lost, like I'm wondering lil-caterpillar may be feeling now. 

I found these amazing candles. Sorry @Spookytookims, I don't think there's any way to explain these other than Island magic. 

I've lit them in a quiet little corner of the cave with our friend's name engraved on a plaque I carved, ready for if and when she comes back so she knows she's got a place here.

Yes there is....  remnants of waxy rainbow mohawk.  @CheerBear  Glass...   lucky find ...   wicks vine fibres wet then rubbed in crushed cuttlefis bone. And dried.

I wrote a very considered post about lil-cat situation.  But Im being made to rewrite it.  I think that means fictionalise it.

Hi @Spookytookims,

If a moderator has asked you to reword a post, the reason would not have been to fictionalise your post, but rather to ensure community/forum guidelines are maintained 😉
