Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

FeedTheAnts used to be very active and created amazing journals. I haven’t seen him on here for awhile, sadly. A couple other members come on to buy or sell stuff mostly.
