The Pirate Box
This is my first solution to all the mean comments I’ve been receiving. It is a mason jar, where I glued all of my grandma’s broken pieces of jewelry. I call it the pirate box because my brother saw all off the supplies on the table & said "that sure is a lot of baubles & trinkets, you are like a very feminine pirate". The pirate box in itself makes me smile whenever I see it, it is an explosion of happy. Anyways, whenever I receive a mean comment I will put a dollar in the pirate box. I may have to cut the budget back to a quarter depending on how many mean comments I get. The money in the pirate box will then be used to boost my self worth with something that is completely frivolous that I want but don’t allow myself the money to buy, like a CD or a threadless t-shirt . It’s basically self esteem in a jar. So go ahead tell me the pirate box looks like crap or that I type fat, (an actual insult I’ve received), I’m ready.

You type “fat” – lol! What the heck?
Do people not have something more productive to do then to leave mean comments?
Love your pirate box! Be sure to put some money in it for the good comments you receive too!

I stumbled upon your blog and actually I think that your pirate creation is quite cool. Hope that you have a good day.
