So I am terrible of coming up ideas for gifts. My SO is a furry and I'm trying to figure out what to give him as our one year gift. I've already gotten him a wolf plushie and a wolf dogtag in the past. I don't know what else to get him that is also inconspicuous because his family doesn't know and they will most likely ask what I gave him. Or I could try to hide something in something. Thanks for any help! :)

Greetings Papabear,

Recently I have been having troubles with the friends I had. I was in a relationship within the friend circle, and we broke up cause she lost interest in me. The trouble was she said she wanted to keep the friendship. It took me 2 months to get over the love, but still care enough to be friends. It got to the point where she wouldn't tell me anything and I had to find out on her tumblr. But the friends I made during college wouldn't respond back or try to talk with me. They would post pictures about friends doing the initiative and I grew tired doing the initiative with no response. I took time to think about it, and a few close online friends showed me some truth. But even with all the help and stuff I still feel like its not fair that I gave so much for these people and only get the cold shoulder. Is it the right thing to stop caring about every friend I have and only cherish the close friends I have, or is there another way?

--Shinjii

Dear Shinjii,

One thing that a person learns over the years and with experience is there are friends and then there are friends. People used to call the shallow friends—the ones who are only by your side during the good times—“fair weather friends.” These are the ones who don’t support you when you are going through something stressful or even tragic, such as a relationship breakup or a death. They will also quickly turn on you for the slightest reason.

Then there are the real friends. The ones who will always like you and talk to you and want to be with you, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or in the hospital, happy or sad. Papabear can’t tell you which is which in your life; you have to take that on a case-by-case basis. Your group of friends will change and evolve over time. New people will pop in and others will leave your circle. Papabear wouldn’t advise you to dump an entire crowd of friends all at once; you should talk to each one individually and find out where they really stand, whether that’s with you through thick and thin, or just with you when it convenient for them to do so. You’ll know which ones to drop.

Hugs,

Papabear

An article on nj.com, written by Bridget Clerkin of The Trenton Times. It concerns events at a recent (May, 2012) New Jersey FurBQ:

http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2012/07/animal-themed_party_at_west_wi.html


WEST WINDSOR — A “FurBQ” party attended by guests dressed in animal costumes at the Twin “W” Rescue Squad building has drawn criticism from township officials after a couple openly engaged in unseemly behavior during the event and too many people crowded into the party, which drew a visit from the police.

Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh called the May 26 Memorial Day barbecue “inappropriate” and said the squad’s president, Mike Leahy, subsequently met with former township administrator Bob Hary and Police Chief Joseph Pica to discuss the event, which had been held on the grounds at least once before.

Leahy promised the barbecue would never take place there again, township attorney Mike Herbert said.

Herbert said the couple, who could not be identified, engaged in “inappropriate behavior.” They were spotted outside the building in the middle of the day, according to accounts of the party posted online by attendees.

“People were appalled by what transpired there,” Councilman George Borek said last week.

The event was a summertime gathering for “furries,” people who like to dress in what they call “fur suits,” animal costumes that look similar to sporting mascots.

The furry culture includes artists and writers who focus on anthropomorphic animals as their subjects and discuss them online. Many participants create their own characters and matching costumes that they wear to furry conferences and other events.

The West Windsor party was organized by a rescue squad volunteer who calls himself “Tony Ringtail” in postings on the site Furaffinity.net.

“West Windsor is an extremely professional organization that will not put up with any inappropriate behavior, no matter who it’s from,” Herbert said. “This should’ve never happened and will never happen again, and if it does, then the relationship between the township and the Twin W will have to be re-evaluated.”

The rescue squad building and property is owned by the nonprofit Twin “W” First Aid Squad Inc. About half of the staff are paid township employees and half are volunteers.

In addition to paying employees, the township supplies ambulances and other equipment and the council recently approved $45,000 in annual funding for the group, a $15,000 increase. It was the first increase in the township’s donation in 20 years, Leahy said.

According to Herbert, since Twin W owns the building and the property, the township had no say in the decision to hold the party there. And Leahy said what happened during the party had been blown out of proportion.

“Everything was kept in a back area. There was nothing in the front,” he said. “People like to fabricate, and we have no knowledge of any problem.”

But he acknowledged that the party was not altogether problem-free.

“The township was concerned that there were too many people at the party. There were nearly 200 people there, so that’s a little bit too much, even for our organization,” Leahy said.

He said some of the paid Twin W employees were unhappy this type of party was taking place in the building. They knew an event was planned but did not know its exact nature in advance, he said.

According to posts on the Furaffinity site, the couple’s actions took place in front of many people in the middle of the day, including children.

West Windsor Lt. Pat McCormack said police were called to the party but refused to go into further detail, saying the issue was being handled as a “personnel matter.”

A YouTube video of the party, which showed guests grilling and dancing to music, drew several critical comments and video responses from self-described furries lambasting the two people involved in the incident.

An online fundraising campaign was started after the barbecue and had raised close to $2,500 as of yesterday afternoon, according to the fundraising site at ChipIn.com.

“Concerned furries have started this fundraiser to help the Twin ‘W’ Rescue Squad, which used to host the NJ FurBQ, recover some of the funds that were lost during some recent unfortunate events,” the website read.

According to posts by “Tony Ringtail,” the party organizer, the barbecue itself raised $300 for the squad.

A link from Ringtail’s online profile points to a defunct website that was registered to Anthony Bianca, according to a registration record. Lt. Tony Bianca, a member and administrator at the Twin W, could not be reached for comment.

Hey guys! This is my first time ever doing commissions, and while I've got a few people following me on FA, I figure I would broaden my search. I think I finally feel comfortable enough to do some work for others, and it'll be a great way to start drawing new things and starts gaining some more experience. Just as importantly, I'm using this first batch to really gauge interest in my art in general and what people are willing to pay for it (I've based my numbers on feedback from others, and my own willingness to accept). If you think it's too expensive, or have any issues with my commission journal, please tell me and be honest! This is a learning experience foremost :)

The journal can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3619204/

Just note that it contains a link to my commission info which has NSFW links, and that my gallery is full of super NSFW stuff.

Another animal who decides to follow his own, different path; this is a cat known as Chote Meow. “Banished from their original homeland of Harmonystan, the cats have been living in the Dark Forest for a long, long time.

His best friends are a rat and a crow. Even though his father is a famous cat burglar, this young cat won’t steal but sing for his supper. There is nothing that Chote Meow loves more than adventure and his guitar. Chote Meow’s love for adventure takes him both far and near. Harmonystan, the kingdom of his birth now ruled by an evil Sultan, is where their life changes. Whether it’s winning hearts, fighting bad guys, or forming a musical band this young cat will do it all.” This full-color book for younger readers was written by Pooja Lulla and illustrated by Sachin Nagar.
