Hey Taz

I was going to post this privetly but whatever! :)I just wanted to thank you (and everybody) for being so awesome on the forum. I have kept my cards close for a while on this site but here goes: I moved away from my family who I am very close to and have been ridiculously lonely for the last year, I mean I have my Son (his name is Edgar George) but he can't talk and my boyfriend is from here so he is pretty busy with his friends and family and I know I m going to be a total dork when I say this but I feel like you guys really are like family! I also wanted to brag a little bit, on Monday I am going to get my sleeve started by the guest artist Dee Dee at off the Map Tattoo! I am so excited. Sorry to be such a dork. Cindy (A.K.A Molly)h

Molly (I am gonna keep callin ya Molly OK?...I am old and changes confuse the fuck out of me! ...anyway...that post just warmed the cockles of my icy little black heart! We all love having you as part of the tribe and enjoy the crap out of your posts! Are you guys gonna be able to come to TAzfest? Man I hope so I am so looking forward to meeting you guys in person...Because of the chemo and meds I amd not as active as I was even 6 months ago and sometimes this computer keeps me sane!! I consider each and every one of you family too! Oh yeah since we are now family can I borrow 30 bucks? HEEHEEHEEHEEJEE!!!!!!!

By the way Molly...tell me about your son!! How old etc etc name? etc etc!!! We are kid people here!!...Even TCE even tho he won't admit it!!!

Damn!!! I just keep thinkin of MORE stuff!! Tell me about your tattoo and make sure we see pics!! I can't wait!!!!...Unca TAz

Any thing for you Taz! The checks in the mail! I really want to make it, we are planning to move back to the west cost NO LATER then December so I am really pushing to start out trip in October. If I have it my way we will be there!

MMMOOOOLLLLYYYYY BBBBBAAABBBBEEEEEEE! Congrats on the sleeve!!! What's it gonna be? Details! By the way, love ya too... Smootch. I heard TCE has a daughter...

My son is 7 mo old so I am still in the super protctive Mom mode. My sleeve is going to be an ocean scene, a crap crawling over my forearm which represens my sister who has always looked after me and a tiny chicken on the inside if my wrist (that has a long story attached) and on the inside of my arm a turtle which is my reminder to be as good as I can and live as long as possable. The turtle is my son. I love Dee Dee's work so the rest of the fill I have left up to her. She really is fantastic! and very nice.

What?...A daughter?...I guess we need to investigate THAT!!!!

Taz, check yor email. I sent you a pic of my son. G-night

Oh MY GOD!!! He is ADORABLE!!!...You tell him he has a crazy old uncle named TAz and give him a smooch for me!!!What is is name?? And you could not have picked a better artist or a better shop to get tattooed in !!!!!! HOORAY!!! You BEST send us pics of THAT TOO!!! UNCA TAz!!!

Tim..Ya know it will be a part of your job to get a group pic of all of the kids of TAzfest right?

Funny thing is.........................Despite my non-parental stance, I have taken some decent pics of kids at times, (I don't have permission, otherwise I'd post some). It's NOT that I don't like kids, I just don't want to make the comprimises that come along with them. My time and freedom are the most important things to me, I don't need a child to make me realize that. Kids are great when I can give them back after I've had enough! TCE

Understand perfectly pal!!

I felt the same exact way TCE, and I remember people would always try to talk me into a different mindset, used to drive me crazy. Things happen though, and sometimes you are forced to adjust. It's been a bumpy road, but I love my son. Wouldnt trade him away for the world. Now if I can just get people OFF my back about having another one. It amazes me, the things complete strangers will argue with you about. -mutter-

Saiyge, I understand that things happen, but they usually happen easier if you don't have such a strong aversion to parenthood. I SOOO do not want to ever be a parent that I will leaving nothing to chance, ever! I believe you when you say that you wouldn't give you son back, because you've said it. But I know people who have ended up as parents accidentally, and they don't say it, because the truth is that they were careless and brought children into the world that they never intended to, and they see it as a major disruption to their lives. I know deep down they regret every minute of it, and that even though they don't say it, they would give their kids back. The way I see it is TOUGH SHIT!!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL!!!!!! TCE

You people with blank skin are so damn lucky! I hate you! But I am getting some bio work from Mario J the week of TAzfest!! All I have left is my magnificent head and the tops of my hands!! But hey ya gotta work with what ya have ya know?
