Sai, sounds about like me, except for my brother that lives across the street. Since he's gone most of the time, I mostly speak to him on the phone.

Morning everyone, lol idk if I'm gonna be staying at work or not.

I concur, to a point. I honestly believe that since so many unrelated Awarenesses are lumped together under one ribbon, the ribbon loses the meaning and interest it was supposed to originally support.
I mean, seriously, over TWENTY Awarenesses under purple alone? If they were all auto-immune related, I could understand it. But, how do animal cruelty and domestic violence relate? They don't. Neither do Worker's Memorial Day and Orca Whale Awareness (WTF?). I feel that by designating so many things under one colour (of which purple has the most listings at 23!!), it diminishes the efficacy of what Awareness Ribbons were supposed to be all about.

I would like to try something, but I need all Treehouse Members to participate.
I would like to compile a list of each person's ribbon, which I will put next to your name on the Birthday post. (Speaking of which, you guys need to PM me your birthdays so that I can add you to the list ^_^ Please don't just post it here as I may not see it.)

If you don't like your ribbon, show us what you think YOUR ribbon should look like *nod* Draw and colour it, do it in a PS or Paint program, save the image to a host, and post your ribbon design in the post with an image of your current, "official", ribbon.

Please use this form so that I see your post:

Kiddiss, so good to see you here again! I'm sorry things aren't going well for you, do you need to talk about it? That's quite a project you've got there. I'm not sure there are any ribbons for me, I'd have to go check.

/slithers around thread/

Original post I posted removed due to I was not thinking when I posted this and I apologise that this may have offended people.

Um...Serena? Not funny. Really. Not funny.

that's funny to me XD

I repeat, not funny. Disgusting and insulting, actually. I guess the best thing for me is to just leave this thread.

This is one of the few reasons Trisphee doesnt do real world holidays/events.

with the exception of DIs, but kept at a vague minimum

nope not even, NONE of the items here hold any religious/holiday/cultural significance. all items directly reflect Trisphee's story and Mythos or refrences Mythos throughout EVERY culture.

the closest youre going to get to reflecting real world events/holidays is the Japanese Relief items or Seasonal items such as summer or winter wear,anything else that appears to be holiday (love letter for v-day) is merely a cute item released about the same time or to represent the emotions of said holiday,not an item FOR the holiday, granted there will be exceptions (like the Japan Relief Items,or Commerative Items for our friends on here,like the Passing away of someone very impactful to the community)

Fen has even turned away Flags,simply because someone can find them to be offensive, I.E. Rebel Flags can be pride to some but hatred to others. just like german flags or flags with other symbols over them (I.E. the Union Jack with an Anarchy sign over it) while yes that is a reference to the British Punk movement, that could still be considered offensive on some level.

Well I said vague minimum which is so little such as the 2011 December items which is a reference to Christmas, not saying that this holiday is better than this one, it's out of cuteness of the items.

Really? Seriously? I don't find it offensive at all.

Actually, I'd rather call it Zombie Jesus Day, than Easter.
Why? Because Easter is Hallmark. Chocolate Bunnies BE OVERLORDS.
