Thanks, Magic Seeker! I figure that any time I “mess up” a page in my bullet journal from now on, it’ll become my Success Page, where I put that “quote” and throw in a bunch of other stuff to cover up what I messed up on. LOL It’ll be fun, and I thought it was a clever idea to add some randomness to it.
Thanks, Jam. It’s some stuff I got back in like 2011 (or maybe earlier). That was back when I first got into sewing, but I didn’t keep up with it. I bought a crapton of that fabric over the duration of my first bite of the sewing bug. LOL

~*~I’ll begin.
I’m Ashe Elton Parker, and have been a member of FM since its original founding year (see my signature). My writing tends to span various subgenres under the umbrella of Fantasy, with some dabbling in Science Fiction. I’ve had works published in the FM Short Story Anthologies that were published shortly before COVID-19 struck. Throughout my life, I’ve worked in fast food, as a security officer, and was briefly in the US Navy, among other jobs. Right now, I am currently disabled and adjusting to the realization that I’m not capable or qualified for any sort of work. To fill my time, I write, sew, quilt, embroider, and do various other crafts and activities.

~*~I’ll talk to Jam about the Server issue you’re having. She’s the one who runs the Discord server, and can probably help you better. I’m not as knowledgeable as she is and don’t want to mess anything up for you.
