Thanks, I like her too. She looks slightly dangerous... and hot! ;-)
We had a look at this site that was on one of the other threads... about cool sites to visit, I think. There was a heap of good ones there... I think a little bit of wee came out when I looked at some of them. We saved a few of them but I liked her because of the flames... you know?? Phoenix...


um, your avatar is a dude. :mrgreen: :peace:

Eee! How big was it? We get a black and white kind of bald-faced hornet or wasp. Hold on, I'm gonna go find my Sierra book.
Here he is. Big thing.

That one was around an inch or so long I guess. They're breeding and making their mud nests at the moment. The stingers in their abdomen (in second photo) are about 3mm long in the pics. They are solitary insects, but gather in the breeding season. I've seen three or four different ones outside, looking for moisture to make mud for their nests.

We have a similar wasp/hornet to your Bald-faced. They build similar nests to those as well. There are a number of varieties, the most common are about ten to 12 mm long. While the other common nesting type is about 20mm long. Nasty buggers too. They protect their nests the same way the White-faced ones do.

Um guys... these days 'Sephiroth' prefers to be known by her post-op name, Candy Pussywillow. Now, some people might think that's very calous and uncaring of you to disrespect her wishes by pointing out her past. Maybe you just leave her alone and let her get on with her new life??? :cuss:

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH dude thought seph was a chick!!! ROFLMFAOOMFGWTFBBQ!
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH, a grown man who knows more about playing games (with transvestite characters in them) than real live women. OMG... ROFFLMGOATSGWDKPFP!!! :blsmoke:

um, your avatar is a dude. :mrgreen: :peace:

*whispers* Oh, by the way fdd, thank you for pointing that little mistake out to me... you're a true friend. :hug: I'm afraid I'm going to have to change my avatar again now though. It's the association thing, you see. Not that I'd have any problems with people seeing me as a hot transsexual, but someone might assume that I'm a gamer... and that'd just be embarrassing!! :oops:

I have a story about a guy who told me that when his hair was long he used to be mistaken for a woman all the time. Should have been a hint of what was to come! :lol:

I have no idea who the character is, I took it at face value, it looky like a girl so that's fine with me. I liked the fire because of the nick, ph03nix. It doesn't have to be a bird, does it?

Seeing as how popular FF7 is and seeing as you know what the internet is I assumed you would know who the fuck seph is. And seeing as I like video games And sell video games its kind of important to know who is who what is what in the video game world.

In real life I have short hair and I get mistaken for a man all the time. That I'm used to... it's kind of entertaining to watch people try to cover their asses when they realise they're wrong. :twisted: But now I can't even make myself look like a hot chick on the internet? Oh no, maybe I've lost touch with my feminine side. Quick, someone give me a make-over. :mrgreen: :roll:

Well, that's what I thought. When I was looking at new avatars and saw that one I thought she looked like a chick who could have just been reborn from the flames behind her... like the human embodiment of the phoenix, I guess. I actually thought she looked like she might have been the same chick that posed for the one with the jiggling boobies in it. LOL :dunce: :lol:

I know it must be hard for you to believe, but there ARE some people out there who don't live half their life inside their computer/game machine. You can now tell all your friends that you've met one. :blsmoke:

HeySnyder, I didn't mean any offense. Sure I've heard about Final Fantasy, even seen the odd advertising poster or two, now that you mention it. But I have no idea who any of the characters are... never even looked at the case, let alone played the game. I'm a mother, a wife, a photographer, and an artist so I don't get time to waste on games. Hell, I waste enough time on here. Whereas you sell games and see people coming into your store all day long looking for FF7... the last games I got into were Lemmings and Yoshi's Island... oh, and that Asterix game... that was cool too.

But anyway, let's put all that silliness behind us. I'll just keep looking for a new avatar. In the meantime, let's get back to the macro part of this thread... come, gather around guys... peace out, it's my shout. Here, have some buds... :eyesmoke: bongsmilie :bigjoint: :weed: :hug: :shock: :peace:

Oooh, thanks fdd. Those are very nice phoenixes. I'll be saving them now, thank you. Actually, you probably wouldn't believe how many we've already saved... but none are special. That's where I thought Candy would be different... *sigh* Oh well... ;-)

I can be a bigger individual as well so I apologize for laughing. You deal with something long enough it becomes second nature to you and you start hanging around people who know what it is you forget about the "normals". And so what if I spend the majority of my time growing weed and playing video games. Thats what I do. Unlike you I have absolutely no desire to have children so all my money goes towards gadgets and gizmo's. I have always been that way. Probably always will. So no harm no foul :) More macros for you!

Hey all
I thought I'd add to the thread again. I'm copying Ph03nix with a wasp shot and a few others in later posts...



Size: Approximately 25mm (1").
This one is carrying a ball of 'cement' (a mixture of wet clay and saliva) to her nesting site in a hole at the bottom of a wall. She'll build her nest, then collect small grubs and caterpillars by paralyzing them, then entombing them in a clay sarcophagus with one of her eggs. As the larvae grow, they eat their fresh meal.
You can find out more about these wasps here:

:( I couldn't EVER be mistaken for a man if I wanted to. I'm too round in all the wrong places. And don't think I haven't thought about it, either. Also, the peeing standing up thing, I can only do that in the shower without making a terrible mess. I have a wee bit of penis envy. Plus, you can wave that thing around, you can waggle it, you can catch it in your zipper. I just knock my boobs around accidentally and they get in the way more than anything else.
Oooh, thanks fdd. Those are very nice phoenixes. I'll be saving them now, thank you. Actually, you probably wouldn't believe how many we've already saved... but none are special. That's where I thought Candy would be different... *sigh* Oh well... ;-)
What you need are those flames. I wonder... I wish I knew more about animating gifs and the like. I have a friend who made me this (see attachment) from the old sea monkey photos (people used to accuse me of being a cheeky sea monkey). What I LOVED about the av is that when it makes the devilish grin it looks just like me, and this fellow's out in Boston, never met face-to-face, yet he caught it perfectly.
(Also, whenever people would ask me what my point was I'd feel my head and say, "I've got THREE!" :lol: )
