love the pill bottles and the puffs.
great shot.

Anna said 977 days ago:

It sadens me to see all the medicin bottles...

AbsolutelyN said 977 days ago:

The clothing is not quite saying 'morning' to me but I love the idea and concept.

ThelmaBlizzard said 977 days ago:

Let me tell you about those medicine bottles, Anna. It's not as sad as it appears to be.

In 2000, I had my thyroid gland removed. During the operation, they discovered I had cancer.I am happy to say that I have been cancer free for 10 years now....blah, blah, blah.

Now, since I no longer have a thryoid gland, I have to take one pill every morning at the same time. The pill regulates almost all of the metabolic processes in my body. Without it, the light inside me will slowly dim and I will eventually die (hence the photo).

All those bottles you see here are empty. I represents how my pills I have taken so far, and I am also saving them for an art project.

This was shot in the morning time before I had to leave for a doctor's appointment.

ThelmaBlizzard said 977 days ago:

.....way too much information.
Sorry.

Beamer said 977 days ago:

OMG!!! Can I borrow a couple of those bottles of pills? You seem to have plenty!! What no skulls?

Ana said 977 days ago:

I take the same pill. :)
But I throw my bottles away. For the opposite reason.
<3

JeffBiset said 977 days ago:

Wher's the balloon ? Exploded with the razor blade ????

groen65 said 977 days ago:

an excellent interpretation! all 5s for humour alone ;-)

Anna said 976 days ago:

Well, I'm happy for the information, and that you are well now! :) Thanks!

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

Beamer: Sure, but afterwards you may not be able to find your own skull. :)

Ana: I just have a hard time throwing away things made of plastic. I try to reuse it if I can. :)

Jeff: Feels good to know someone can actually recognize my work by the way it looks. :)

groen65: Very sweet.....thank you. :)

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

Anna, you're welcome. :)

daevans said 976 days ago:

too bright for me

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

daevans: Glad to hear it. :)

Karmen said 976 days ago:

with a strong light like that on morning i could hate the world for the rest of the day! The idea is original.

kyla said 976 days ago:

I am thinking this is Thelma all the way...

Beamer said 976 days ago:

@Thelma, I haven't been able to find my own skull for a couple of years now, did anybody see where I left it??

TracyMartin said 976 days ago:

I think I recognize all those pill bottles. :)

philippe said 976 days ago:

stylish! :o)

philippe said 976 days ago:

Ok, that explains the pills, but what about the fur coat?

philippe said 976 days ago:

sorry, just practicing with bad taste jokes... :o)

(I thought my ratings would have been enough to push it to the front page but... no) :o(

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

This will never reach the front page, an nothing can really explain my eccentric taste for ugly coats. :)

(side note: no zebras were harmed in the making of this photo.)

George said 976 days ago:

yeah i get it. you wake up. go to the bathroom. turn on the light. and you go blind. this is excellent, cut off ankle, funky mobile, ton of medicine bottles, and everything. especially the face which is juuuuust visible. or is it? thelmablizzard, perhaps? all 5s.

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

Thanks, George.
I'm waiting for a feet transplant.
Maybe Mark will donate his feet since it looks like he is not attached to them anymore. :)

By the way......Hello, Tracy. :)

JIMJIM said 976 days ago:

Lov the irony and great sense of humour here
Morning "high"light ;)
Great !!!

marcorama said 976 days ago:

What's this? Is there a window behind the bright light or is it a mirror reflecting a flash?

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

It is whatever you want it to be. :)
(but to answer your question, it's a window with the sun shining through.)

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

By the way.....thanks, JimJim.

ThelmaBlizzard said 976 days ago:

Beamer, your skull is probably hanging in someone's kitchen.

schaetz said 976 days ago:

is it her beauty that dazzled you?

TracyMartin said 975 days ago:

HAHAHAHA! I only just checked back in here and read the thread with Mark looking over my shoulder.... he is out smoking thinking up something witty to write about feet and Beamers head.

pursang said 975 days ago:

Hey Thel, looks like you could use a little head. Tracy threatens to hire me out so that she can buy a new Power Mac. If she agrees I can arrange an appointment!

pursang said 975 days ago:

Um you can have my feet, they're over rated. In the end, they just end up smelling like old shoes.

ThelmaBlizzard said 975 days ago:

haha....Mark has a little head for hire. :)

Beamer said 973 days ago:

That could be anytime of day. ;)

ThelmaBlizzard said 973 days ago:

......teeheeeheeehaaaaaw!
Yeah, what he said. :)

Lange said 971 days ago:

Interesting and eerie! The "missing head" aspect of the shot, while purposeful for the theme, to me is rather disconcerting. I suspect that may be your plan for the picture.

Lange said 971 days ago:

Thelma... I actually like your explination far better! Very creative indeed. What sort of art project do you envision for the empty medicine bottles?

ThelmaBlizzard said 971 days ago:

Lange:
I haven't decided what I'm going to do with them, yet.
Any ideas? :)
Whatever it is, I'll make sure to take a picture.

George said 971 days ago:

make a mobile.

ThelmaBlizzard said 971 days ago:

I could melt down the bottles, then hang and arrange the melted pieces to look like a medicine bottle.....hmmmmmm. :)
