Instead of henna, you can always go Sharpy Markers - will be dark enough, and gives you multiple colors and price wise should be doable - but they will last a couple of weeks I expect.


Some fake moccasins (slippers) would work well with the kilt idea, and keep it rustic looking.  Particularly if you get some leather string and tie them up to your knees as if they were part of the moccasins.  Just watch for water - wouldn't do well to get them too wet.

Instead of black (if you want to keep the Tee & Shorts) go with a rich red.  In the dark, will look black enough, but should offer a good contrast with the green in lighted conditions to help delineate the moss.

A sufficiently-dark green might look super, for that matter.

Those things aren't funny.

Oh, I know a lot more than when I made the red fire ant farm as a kid, and they are the logical next step.

Yeah, same with Henna.  Potential issues with work, there.  Heck, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a straight up sleeve tat if it wouldn't cause undo problems with work/family.

Real moccs are available fairly easily around here, but wouldn't do much for the hazards I face.  I try to keep in steel toes.

Well, I got to wear something under the "kilt", that's just given.  MAYBE...the fake tattoo nylon things...they'd have to be custom made, though.  The shirt I'm more open to, but need something, and tan line is as bad as shirt line.  Again, MAYBE the fake tattoo nylons, but would need a custom job...and THERE I'm not even sure I could find a blank in my size.  Last adult size I saw wouldn't go over my forearm.

The magic markers will come right off with rubbing alcohol, or at least some will...

What scale bank are we talking about?  One where it would be conceivable to go over their heads with an appeal to cut the bullcrap and stop screwing your plans with their one-buttokery?  Like, around here, I'd try to just get the president of the branch...

Foot off the brakes, the loan is cleared. 

We can't hit the accelerator till next week, though.  Some stupid mandatory waiting rule.  Because I haven't waited enough yet.

I'm not entirely convinced that this happening within a few days of her grandmother switching from mild disapproval to completely on board is a coincidence, actually.  (not that she would tie it up, but I'm certain she COULD have called someone to grease a wheel if she saw fit to do so)


The rendered drawing of the kitchen seems to be flicking a light switch in a lot of people's heads as to what we're trying to do.

Googling around looking for an out of circulation prop, I stumbled on this:

http://www.charismamag.com/blogs/the-plumb-line/24566-5-clear-signs-witchcraft-is-attacking-you-right-now

Quote
Obviously, there is a spiritual force that the Bible is warning us about. It causes us to take leave of our senses. Witchcraft releases strong confusion against our minds so that Jesus is not the clear focus of our lives. Once that happens, we are more vulnerable to the vain imaginations the enemy whispers to our souls. We have a responsibility to know about this spiritual wickedness and guard ourselves against it. With that said, here are eight signs you are under a witchcraft attack right now.

1. Confusion: Witchcraft makes you question yourself, question your friends, question your leaders—question God. When witchcraft attacks, it's difficult to make sound decisions, you may forget your keys



I AM BEWITCHED!!!!!  My god, I forget keys!!!

Quote
2. Trouble paying attention: When witchcraft attacks, it can feel like your mind is scrambled like an egg. You have trouble staying focused on the tasks at hand. Your mind wanders to and fro.


MORE PROOF!

Quote
3. Wanting to hide in your cave:


(If only I could find a way to make money at it.)  CLEARLY a Witch is attacking me!

Similar idea to my ghillie suit idea.  Think it would work well.

SOMETHING is prowling the neighborhood. 

My cats flipping out and breaking glass was enough to ensure I'm not sleeping.  Left wet nose/mouth marks on the screen door, and knocked over a jar I had outside.  I've never heard my cats react that way to anything.  Not sure if it was my cats or the jar that scared it, but heard it run by outside my bedroom, clamoring in the stuff by the shed.  A stray dog wouldn't be in that stuff.

I hear a dog down the street flipping out now.

Men in their arrogance claim to understand the nature of creation, and devise elaborate theories to describe its behavior. But always they discover in the end that God was quite a bit more clever than they thought.
