I'm wearing the Charm Banshee gacha set from Zenith, while Jem is in a currently vintage skin and outfit named Solaris, from Fallen Gods. (Word is that it's on the schedule to be updated with current-generation elements.)
Hey guys! I’ve never posted about my rl before but I figured this was deserving of it. Long story short, my ex has my dogs and he was supposed to give them back to me October 1st (we agreed to share custody and switch them every 6 months). Now he won’t give them back to me and he’s blocked all communication out of nowhere. Anyone who knows me knows I love my dogs to death and that I consider them my children. Now I’m raising money to take him to court. Any little bit goes a long way! And thank you in advance for any help offered gofund.me/a0f112b6
Time for another photo dump! This time, it is of Illinois Railway Museum's 2009 chartered CTA train called the "Snowflake Special." IRM periodically runs these as fundraising events for future and continuing preservation of their CTA collection. For the 2009 event, I believe this was for to acquire a set of soon-to-be retired 2400-series and 2600-series cars. Don't hold me to that, because as of this posting (March 30, 2024), it has been exactly 15 years and a day since I rode this train, and in that time many details have been lost in the dark recesses of my memory. I missed the exact anniversary by a day because for the last several years I was convinced this took place on March 30th. But the date stamps and file names on the photos prove otherwise.
Anyway, I know nothing of the CTA, and aside from a few trips here and there to see the Cubs, I had never truly ridden the CTA before this. And I have only ridden it a few times since. So I will leave it up to those of you who know to fill in the details of these locations.
What I CAN tell you though is that it was supposed to be a nice sunny first full weekend in Spring, but Mother Nature decided to send us a curve ball. The entirety of the Chicagoland area was blanketed by an early spring snowstorm, seeing upwards of 8" of snow falling and accumulating throughout the day. But by sunset, all the snow was gone, as if it had never happened. Our train was to depart on the CTA Blue Line terminus at Forest Park and travel on all parts of the system except the Yellow Line. We were let off for lunch at Marshall Fields (yes, it was Macy's, but it will ALWAYS be Marshall Fields to those of us old enough to remember). And we returned back to Forest Park that evening. Along the way we stopped at Midway Airport, the Brown Line Terminus, and the Red LIne Southern Terminus. And for those who wanted, we could get off in multiple spots so the train could make photographic run-bys. I cannot tell you where we got off because I simply do not know.
We raised a staggering £293,000 at our fourth Vitality Ball at the Natural History Museum, smashing our target of raising a million pounds since the event began in 2011.

The Lifeboat fair in the harbour tomorrow, something that I have yet to go to, always seem to be wotrking, by the time I can get to the harbour it's all winding down, oh well, one year!
Fish Market, Scrabster Harbour, Caithness, Scotland.
Participated in the Achilles St. Patricks Day 5k race - walk/run. Froze my ass (-15°C) but it was worth it. I wanted to take more photos, but my hands refuse to co-operate and my legs kept on moving. Sometimes, you need to choose between being a participant in an event and being a photographer - it is hard to mix the two. I learn as I go.

Light The North charity fundraising art trail goes live on Monday 9th August 2021, this is a regular fundraising event that raises much needed cash for various good causes each year , this year it is Clan Cancer Support , the lighthouse sculptures have already started to be placed in their designated spots in time for the launch on the 9th August , I have tracked some of those down and hopefully will complete the trail over the coming weeks , posting all my shots of my progress in this album .
Fifty stunning lighthouse sculptures are being installed this week, ready for the launch of Clan’s spectacular Light The North art trail.
The 2.5 metre-tall pieces, painted by some of the UK’s most talented artists, will shine a light across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland from Monday August 9, when the trail is officially launched.
Organised in partnership with Wild in Art, which helped deliver Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail in 2019, Light The North will be a major fundraiser for cancer support charity Clan.
The trail also aims to provide a “light in the dark” for those battling cancer and their families.
A team of Clan’s Light The North volunteers and drivers have now started delivering the 50 lighthouses to their specific locations.
Locals and visitors alike will soon be able to find out where each lighthouse is thanks to an interactive map that will be shared by the P&J and Evening Express when the trail officially kicks off.
Little lighthouses created by local schools for Light The North trail
Each of the 50 lighthouses is unique and backed by a local business. Evening Express, the P&J and Original 106 are among some of the sponsors to have their own dedicated lighthouse.
In addition to the main sculpture trail, 76 little lighthouses created by school pupils will be displayed all over the north of Scotland, including in Aberdeen Science Centre and a number of local businesses. The Evening Express and P&J will share an interactive map of the little lighthouses too.
The lighthouse sculptures were gathered and stored at Shore Porters in Aberdeen ready to be delivered and installed across the north and north-east.
More than 70 schools got involved in Clan’s education initiative which was created to give young people across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland the opportunity to get creative and help their school or group design a little lighthouse to be featured on the trail.
Lighthouse sculptures to be auctioned off to raise funds for cancer charity
At the end of this year’s Light The North trail, which will be present in each of the areas where Clan Cancer Support operates, all the main 50 lighthouse sculptures will be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity so that it can continue supporting people affected by cancer.
Looking good, Darren Hill, communications and marketing manager with Clan, helping prepare the lighthouses.
Fiona Fernie, Clan’s head of income generation and business development, said: “Clan helps people live with and beyond a cancer diagnosis, but we need your help to continue to be there for them. We’ve seen high demand for our services while facing a significant drop in our income.
“Cancer is not going away, and our services are more indispensable than ever, so we want to encourage everyone to get out and support Clan through Light The North.”
Clan’s Light The North Farewell Weekend will take place from Friday October 29 to Sunday October 31 and the auction is planned for Monday November 1.
The beginning of hopefully more to come. There will be 275 made, once the 275 are purchased, they will be produced and shipped. Thank You for your support. Feel free to leave comments. Follow link below to order:

On the 7th September I was lucky enough to get invited along to Little Princess Trust's Pink Car Rally.
It was the 1st day of the 6th annual pink car rally to raise money for real hair wigs for people with cancer.
All in all, it was a fantastic start to the rally, with day 1 starting at ESP Cars, Long Eaton (Derbyshire) and finishing up at Kingsmill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield (Nottinghamshire)

To celebrate the collaboration between Hunter Boot and Glastonbury's official charity WaterAid – dedicated to providing the world's poorest people with access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation - a number of high profile celebrities were invited to customise and sign the limited edition WaterAid welly at this year's Glastonbury Festival. The wellies were designed exclusively for WaterAid and the world famous Glastonbury Festival to raise money for the 'Hunter for WaterAid' project, dedicated to helping people in remote regions of Madagascar.

When Hannah Do and I discussed at the beginning of the year our fundraising goal for 2019, we decided to seek to raise the same amount as the previous year, $5,000. The proceeds would be donated to the Center for Innocent Children and benefit children that have been abandoned by their families or orphaned. We didn’t want to disappoint anyone by setting a target we couldn’t achieve and agreed to revisit things should the fundraiser go better than anticipated.
Never did we imagine that, thanks to your generosity, we would be meeting our goal within three months. To all of our friends, colleagues, family, and generous souls who contributed to this fundraiser, “cảm ơn”. Your willingness to help is making all the difference in the lives of these deserving children. For instance, Annie Nguyen is planning to visit the Center this month and meet Vu Nguyen Hong Ngoc as they share the same Vietnamese name and birthday. Serendipidy.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Hannah Do and The Giving Plant for the beautiful succulent arrangements they make to benefit The Center for Innocent Children. Their mastery of the craft and wholeheartedness are inspiring, especially given the fact that these succulent arrangements have contributed over $3,000 towards the fundraiser to date, with more orders in the works!
These aren’t ordinary succulent arrangements. They’re unique and unusual creations, Valentines specials, Easter-inspired, and custom designed arrangements, ranging from $15 to $150, and 100% of the proceeds benefiting the children.
It’s time to take it to the next level!
After much thought and consideration, Hannah and I have decided to raise the bar for 2019 to $10,000. The first $5,000 will be donated to the Center for Innocent Children as originally committed. The additional funds raised will also benefit the Center along with two more organizations. Gia Đình Thiên Phúc is an orphanage located in Củ Chi. Nhà Đưỡng Lão Tình Thương is an old age home also located in Củ Chi, where the elderly residents have the same profound kindness of children, and deserve our thanks and consideration.
How can you help?
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Frederick Douglass.
The children from these orphanages come from many places with different backgrounds and contexts. They have unique personalities and various needs. With our continued support, the Center for Innocent Children and Gia Đình Thiên Phúc will be able to carry on with their respective missions and help these deserving children. While the elderly at Nhà Đưỡng Lão Tình Thương will be reminded that they haven’t been forgotten. Please consider joining us on this worthy journey.
