Monarch Melissa emerged on October 30, royal and enchanting, blessing the world with her classy style and innumerable mysteries. My only complaint is that, even after I carried her chrysalis and some lovely nectar flowers carefully in a basket around Tierrasanta the day before, eating lunch at a sandwich shop and shopping for sweets for my grandma with her, she chose a moment to emerge the following day when mine eyes were absent from the scene. This is unbelievably poor judgment on the part of my favorite butterfly friend, but I have let bygones be bygones and hugged and kissed her profusely as she hung on the branch waiting to fly into her new life! Yes, she really was a girl!
Now she has gone leaving pleasant memories only true friends can leave lingering, but a striped quarter of an inch mean,lean baby leaf eating machine has come to remind us that life is a process, always changing and always colorful.

Post anything. Talk about work, life, or play. Get and give advice and tips. This is a trading post so feel free to promote yourself, projects, or your business (just don't spam!).
You need a SPOT to post new discussions on the community blog and comment on other people's posts.
Some folks call it a blog, a forum, or questions and answers. Trader Dan is old fashioned and thinks of it as folks talking and having a good time.
The only real rules are NO SPAM, don't be rude, and indicate if your post is NSFW. These things tend to peeve Trader Dan no end. Promoting yourself is okay if it is meaningful to the community, but limit yourself or you will be deleted. Controversy is okay, but hate, flaming, and jerks are not.
