A few years ago you could pick the stabwood mods you wanted from Asmodus, you knew what the mod looked like instead of random choice.
Oh no sorry that happened to your Jellybox! Thanks for the heads up and I will be sure to watch mine if starting to act funny. Such a shame, one of my favorite mods and use it daily.
Nice artwork on that. It looks kind of Japanese inspired.
I think so too- so beautiful in person, nice colors and textured too, love the Octopus-These Dotmods have really nice covers you can buy to change up the looks.
I love Japanese art. I think it was because my Dad when he was in the navy went there often, before I was born. He served towards the end of the war in the Pacific. At the end one of the ships he was on was tasked with searching for and picking up,deserted by the Japanese, soldiers stationed on islands in the Pacific region. Many had no idea it was over and tried to fight on and did. They managed to convince them it was over though and took them back to Japan. He had many amazing stories of it. One in particular was a lone soldier who when he came on board was so upset he'd been left, wanted to come back to Australia with them. He when as a civilian in Japan was a barber. My dad had, and I do too, a picture of him cutting my dads hair onboard the ship on the way back to Japan. It was amazing that those my dad served with and the abandoned soldiers held no grudges and were friends. My dad learnt many recipes from them too and loved cooking them. My dads mate on the ship was the cook, my dad was a gunner. But loved cooking too so we as kids got to have many things he learnt during his service. He too brought back numerous Japanese art objects. Vases, an awesone hand engraved chest with their artwork on it as well as some small tables. I still have a bamboo tooth pick holder he got and a Japanese fishing knife. My sister has the other stuff. I'll post the picture of him getting his hair cut either tommorow or the next day. Amazing. Enemies at one stage then friends the next. I always saw it as an amazing lesson of forgiveness seeing as my grandfather, his father, was a Changi prisoner and suffered terribly. It still amazes me that.
My mom has a huge collection of Japanese dolls, statues, and artwork. I will inherit it someday. All so beautiful!
That was great you did that. They would be lasting cherished memories on both sides. Im sure it must have meant a lot to them you doing so.
Great memories- Thank you for sharing, just so awesome, my friend!@SnapDragon NY
Here they are.
First up my Dad with his best friend in the Navy. My Dad on the right looking a bit sheepish and his mate Jack on the left. He served most of his time on Aussie Tribal class Destroyers and a few others.

Now my Dad getting his hair cut on the ship by the Japanese soldier they rescued from an island. Dont think the Term Jap was in his mind derogatory, he was Aussie he was Jap, just abreviated the same.

This sits pride and place in our lounge room. They also patrolled Nu Guinea a lot and he loved there and the local natives. They gave him a couple of huge shells from there as a gift. This one, he was no Michael Angelo, buy he painted on it the native fishing boats from the islands they were often stationed near and the ones that gave it to him.
In keeping with Vape related and to give an idea of its size my Geek Vape Max and Zues are next to it.
