Speaking of art, here is a sketch of an apple( Still Life drawing) the 12 YR old did at his youth group the other night. They had a professional local artist come teach. Good job, huh? It looks like he also ( along with most of the other kids and myself) has inherited the creative gene from my father's side of the family for talent, for either art, writing, or music, as several of the relatives on that side are skilled in drawing, piano, writing, etc. I'm glad though as creativity is a good thing, a really good thing and it makes one unique. My own creativity has either both gotten me into trouble or rewarded personally though, depending on the circumstances. I can remember in grade school always getting yelled at by the teachers( esp. in grade 4) for always being distracted by my drawing and writing in class I was told endlessly to save on my own time and to not do during class, and the art teacher I had in grade 11 that endlessly punished me for my assignments as I only ever did 10% of what was assigned and then added my own style and flair so that my end results never looked like carbon copies like all of the others( but isn't that what art is supposed to be, the creative expression of the artist and NOT the same as everyone else?) and she's give me shitty grades for it like in the 60%'s because it wasn't what was assigned and didn't look like the others...yet in grade 12 I had this awesome art teacher who loved my creativity and I got to do sculptures that year and he rewarded my free-thinking and unique designs and I got a 95% grade.

The 12 YR old also has this App(or whatever you call it) on his device where it alters your photo and can age you or make you look younger and I excitedly said Do the one that makes me look younger! and he laughed and asked why and I said So I can make it a profile picture! For once I'll have a photo that looks good even if it is photoshopped! and it turned out nice(see below) and he commented that when it aged me it didn't look any different(than I do now)....gee, thanks kid....and when he "aged" himself he looked like the 25 YR old does now which makes sense I guess and now he looks just like the 21 YR old did when he was younger but they are brothers so it makes sense they look alike,and so much so that, in fact, when I see old photos of the 21 YR old I can't even tell which one of them it is; is it him younger or the 12 YR old now? The only difference is the 12 YR old has glasses. Other than that you'd never be able to tell.....

The store the 25 YR old and the 16 YR old work at also had a party and he brought home all the left-overs, which was alot of food and we appreciate and need it and aren't too proud or ashamed to accept; he has this knack for always scoring free stuff, just like the oldest does, and today is also the second-oldest's birthday; she's 29, and I'm still constipated even more than 2 weeks post-Op and I have to take laxatives now to even be able to shit at all now and even so it's still hard to go and I really have to strain and it's hard and there's bleeding....I really am beginning to wonder if maybe there might be some sort of obstruction or something; it shouldn't be that hard just to pinch one off and when the laxative does work it just keeps coming and coming, an endless literal shitstorm; it's like it's all impacted and full and just blocked and can't come out and when it does, only slowly, bit by bit.it's just awful.
