You left out the most important thing. Once at 'legal age' you are now responsible for your actions instead of your parents having to answer for you.

21 is honestly the real “adult” age. Ima be 18 next year and I can’t wait.

If I only knew at 18 what I know now...

My parents got me a new watch for my birthday. It can tell the time, has a compass, and can tell the temp.

Yes...but can it make the hot chocolate on a cold evening and make the bed in the morning?

If it can still work at depth, one has to ask "How deep is your shower?"

I found foot- long laffy taffy at the small local grocer today. How cool is that? Ignore my very chipped fingernail polish and hyper extended fingers

They make them that big? Dang...
At least it's not as bad as those huge candy canes... Like, those aren't even edible

Also what you mean "hyper extended" fingers?... I'm going to be completely honest, I don't see how their longer or more extended than normal if that's what you mean... They look normal to me. Lol.

And that's henna on your hand, right? I can't tell if it's henna or just marker lol

My mom asks that first question on a lot of things if it's very expensive. She's like: "It costs THAT MUCH!? Does it make my coffee? It better do my hair and do a pedicure as well if I'm paying that much."

I didn’t know that until today haha

Hyper extended wasn’t the right word. They werent hyper extended in this picture, they were just loose and one was dislocated trying to hold it lol

And that's henna on your hand, right? I can't tell if it's henna or just marker lol

Yes it’s henna

 

[Rocky998]

Yah, they make candies in all sorts of weird sizes . I still find new sizes of candies a lot lol.
Ever heard or seen of cow tails? (No they don't have any actual cow in them. Their just candies. They don't even look like a cow tail lol).
I believe it was my sister who introduced us to those... Their pretty good! I just don't have a lot cause then its too sweet But they make them in very large sizes lol.

Hyper extended wasn’t the right word. They werent hyper extended in this picture, they were just loose and one was dislocated trying to hold it lol

Ah ok... I can see it a little I suppose, but like seriously, I would have never even guessed something was wrong unless you had said something lol.
Looks fine to me But then again, I'm no doctor

On the more serious side Juice, I'm sorry your finger dislocated while holding something. I'm guessing that also happens time to time while drawing/painting for you?
Must be quite irritating...

Yes it’s henna

Awesome! Either way, it looks good!

Today I:
Walked my dogs
Went to lunch with my daughter
Cut firewood down to size and got it out of the rain to dry
Did laundry
Let dogs in and out 50 times
Broke the motor mount bolt off in the Necchi sewing machine I was fixing so I could sell it.
I refuse to cry over the Necchi. I think I have bolts and a belt ordered, and an adapter for my impact wrench that should let me back out the broken piece. It's a learning curve. Long way from aquatics.

What will he different for you?

You still can’t own a pistol until you’re 21. Plus in some states you need to be 21 to buy alcohol or nicotine products. (Not that I would, but just saying)

 

[Rocky998]

Parents made us stay home from our religious services just in case what I had was contagious... Oof
