A photo of "The World's Largest Chest of Drawers". It looks like a 3 drawer nightstand, stained brown with gold hardware & decorative fan-like shapes  carved above the top drawer. The middle drawer is open with a couple of pairs of socks hanging over the edge. It appears to be taller than the house beside of it, although this is partly an illusion because it is further forward in the image. It is, however, very, very tall and large.

Not exactly the design from your image, but they built the one below in 1926, according to its website. It's been through a couple of remodels since then. Search "World's Largest Chest of Drawers". I did a drive by of it with my mom some time in the just the last couple of years.

No, we definitely did not. Iraq 2003-2004.

I didn't recognize this song but they're both awesome singers. The Kate Bush song that always gets me is "This Woman's Work". It was used so beautifully in "She's Having a Baby." When she hits that emotional & vocal crescendo...tears.

The video kind of makes me laugh now but I still love me some Roxette.

It's been migraines for me for the last 2 days as well. It's a crappy way to start the day. Hope you're feeling better.

Photo of a beautiful adult deer, a doe, standing in a green, grassy yard, the side of her body with her head in a 3/4 view as they face the camera. There are trees, primarily the trunks of trees, in the background and brightly sun-highlighted shrubs peaking through the spaces between and behind the trees. The photo was taken at a home, not present in the photo, in rural southwestern Virginia during summer.

A photo of a white swan swimming with their side facing the camera. The water of a small lake or pond ripples around the swan and the light is catching the water in such a way that the ripples reveal paths of shadows and and light perpendicular to the swan as well catching smaller, scattered horizontal lines, reflected in the ripples of medium red, more closely occuring near the swan.

A photo of a green dragonfly, close-up, directly facing the camera. The mostly brown, natural background, as well as just a few green sprigs of grass in the foreground are blurred out of focus, while the dragonfly in between is vibrant and in focus, peaking nicely from between 2 of the grass sprigs. The wings at its sides are clear enough to see their natural lacy pattern.

Opinions? Which of these would you like best for my profile's cover photo? I plan re-edit these later. They are photos I took, but with older cameras & little editing. #NewHere #CoverPhoros #OpinionsWanted

A photo of me, a white woman, probably in my 40s at the time and smiling for the camera. I have short, curly, red hair, but you can only see the tips of it peaking from the bottom of the grey fedora hat on my head that I'm trying on for fun. I'm wearing a black top and there are other hats in the background, showing part of a vendor's booth in an antique Mall.

A photo of me, a fair skinned white woman with short red hair, probably in my 40s. I'm wearing a short-sleeved black shirt with Gizmo from Gremlins and Stitch from Lilo & Stich. It depicts them sitting semi-facing each other, with "Ohana?" displayed across the bottom of their image. You can't see much of my hair because I'm hamming it up in a thrift store, once again trying on a plaid hat. I'm making a smooching expression with my lips, being silly while posing for the camera. I'm in a thrift store and you can see some scarves and clothing in the background.

This is a photo of me, a fair-skinned white woman with short and curly red hair. I'm at a restaurant with friends for my 40th birthday and I'm smiling for the camera. I'm wearing a black jacket with a pink-lavender shirt underneath. You can just make the Mutant Enemy logo, a little monster going sideways with its arms out. It played at the end of every Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode and said "Grr, Argh".

If you're seeing this, I need your opinions! None of these photos are recent, but I don't have any remotely new ones that would work for a profile pic. So, until I get some new options, which of these do you like best? #NewHere #ProfilePics #OpinionsWanted

I know this post's a little old. I can relate: disabled creator in NC w/ depression which worsens with our daily U.S horror show, physical flare-ups/new injuries setting me back every time I start to make progress. Anyway, I just wanted say, hang in there; you're not alone.
