DukeSilver this is for you-

Question

Hi! This is mainly for silver, but if you want you can answer too.

I have some questions I wanted to ask but thought I’d do it on here cuz kn takes forever to approve of the messages.

-fav color (mine are yellow and blue)

-state you live in (I’m in nm)

-trump or Biden (Biden 2021)

-things you like to do(I like horse back riding and animals, at the stables there are bunnies and goats, they’re really cute. I also draw. Oh, and read.)

-sexuality/pronouns(I’m bi and good with any pronouns, although my default gender ig is a girl)

-where/what do you want to be in the future? (I’m not sure what I wanna do, I change my minds a lot ha.)

K! You can also add anything else you want me to know!

Answer 1

Howdy! A whole lot of questions, and I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner. (It says you asked it 8 hours ago.)

1)  Probably dark forest green, red-brown...Sorry. I guess I just like the boring colors. I like the colors of leather, wood, and the outdoors.

2)  I live in Montana (aka. The Treasure State), but I used to live in Ohio and a little bit in West Virginia.

3)  If I had to pick between the two, Biden. Just not the crazy orange guy again, please?

4)  I, too, enjoy animals. I have wiped out every single wolf book at every single library I have been to since I was able to read. Actually, though, my hobbies are pretty limited. That's why I made a post about hobbies a while ago. I basically have to wait until I'm not with/sound my dad agree to be able to do what I want.

However, I really like woodburning (I've made some cool stuff) and, even more, leather tapping. When most people say, "leather tapping," it means that take a tool that already looks like something (like, say, a Native American head) and just hit it on the leather, finish it, and call it done. Me, though, I like to get my six different tools and make it myself. First, after stroping a knife, I cut a design into the leather. Then, I take one (they're just sticks of metal with either an oval on the end, or a circle, or a cresent moon, or a leaf, but there are actually only four; I just have a small and a large of some) and pound it into a piece of worked leather I cut to shape. I can make all sorts of designs with those. I then seal and waterproof it, and can also do other stuff to it, like lace it up and turn it into a wallet, or stick brads in it and make keychains or pouches. Sorry. You shouldn't get me talking about something I really like.

I also just like to do anything and everything outside.

5)  I'm new to this whole multi-sexuality thing, but I think straight? Oh, and I'm male.

6)  This is probably the trickiest of them all. First of all, where I want to be it's very limited. Either here in Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Idaho, or possibly western Canada. But what? Well, what I want to be isn't really what I can be. Essentially, I just want to be a free-ranger. I want to just roam where I want, with my horses and dogs. As for money, I could become a mountain guide, or simply make things...yeah, that wouldn't really work out, would it? Then, as for a job, I'd be a Cowpoke. I'd help herd either bison or cattle. Worst-case scenario: I do what I wanted to do for years, and go to OSU for my Masters degree in biology, then come back to the west and study the wolves.

Or, as the best of the options: I first enlist in the Marines (see if I get killed, because Afghanistan is never going to end),  go to OSU for my Masters degree, study the wolves for a while, then be a Cowpoke, then be a free-ranger. I don't really know. I don't plan that detailed that far in the future. For all I know, I could be dead this time tomorrow.

 

 

Basically, to know me besides this stuff, just look at my bio on KN, then you can talk again here. In short, I like big belt buckles, Stetsons, nice boots, horses, wolves, the Second Amendment, the outdoors, and the smell of woodsmoke, whiskey, leather, tobacco leaf, sage, bay rum, and sandalwood. (Sorry about the smells...)

meanwhile im a forgettable person 

---

Aww, probably not! I'm sure that you have relatable, memory-bursting things. Like, for instance, how I remember you from our one political argument, and how you have a very strong sense of personal opinions, which I kind of like. It's good to not be afraid to stand up for your own beliefs.

---

Mhm! Ppl tend to think I’m arguing but I’m just trying to get it in their stupid .... brain that trump is a bad person :D also I get it, like I’ll remember random things, and then forget what I need to remember- *face palm*

---

thank u dukesilver 

also, i think it's cool you want to try enlisting in the marines :) if all goes wrong, i will enlist in the US navy 

---

Ooh fun! I’m afraid I’ll die but I do wanna enlist in the army or smth

---

Idk about the US army, they seem to be treated like mule. :/

---

"Mule?" Are you kidding? Their mascot is a mule! No offense, jelly, but I won't get caught going to the "Army." If anything, the Royal Army is better. They eat Golden Grams at their Afganistan building shelters, and always have to get the Devil Dogs to transport them. I mean, they're fine for home defense and National Guard or whatever, but not for overseas fighting. Then again, that's just my opinion.

---

Yeah I agree 100 percent, DukeSilver. It's usually young people that put in little military research enlisting in the army.

---

I honestly don't know, but maybe I'll enlist in the military? I'm not real sure tho

---

Fat lot of craze happened on that answer.

Answer 5

Here are some other random things about myself:

·I am not a complete Democrat. While I disagree with the Republicans on many of their ideologies (you know, like being crazy), there is only one part of the democrats views that I disagree with: the right to bear arms. I'm not a crazy Q-Anon (or...what do they call themselves? Oh, Patriots) cult person, but I still think that weapons are vital to put country. In my opinion, the second amendment should not be changed. After all, it says, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

·I like knives. Pocket knives, fixed blades, field knives, I like them all, so long as they aren't too militant.

·I'm a bit a, well, a guess I'm considered a Pacifist. I just don't like war. It's...it's stupid. There's no other good way to put it. Afghanistan has been going on for twenty out thirty years, and we have accomplished absolutely nothing over there. And nobody will admit it, but it's basically just over oil.

· I'm also kind of an environmentalist. Don't be calling me a dirty hippy, though. I just think that it's important that we preserve what natural environments we have left, and, you know, NOT run huge pipelines through the Boundary Waters and Arctic Refuges. Also, I've seen what coal, mining, oil, and gas do to places. (Um, not good.)

·I'm not really religious. I think that it's important that there are religious followers, though. Saying this, I really, really don't like the people that try to use it to their own advantage. It's the people that give religions such a bad reputation. But if I were forced to practice a religion, I would pick either Buddhism, a Native American religion, heck, Hellenic, even. Because in truth, most religions just say the same thing: be nice to each other. It's just that I'd pick one that had a bit of a softer, more cushioning tone to it (does that make sense?).

·I don't like fancy. And to me, anything beyond jeans and a shirt is considered fancy. I like dirtiness, and ruggedness.

·I like bluegrass and folk music. My favorite band is, "The Dead South," and my favourite independent musician is Colter Wall. My favorite song is probably Johnny Boy's Bones, where the two got together to do it.

·I'm not very modern. I've been told by many different people that I'm sort of stuck in the late 1800's. The late nineteenth century (1860's-1900) is my favorite time period.

·I like to collect various things. Right now, I'm collecting very, very old iron railroad spikes I find, as well as small bars and coins of copper and silver.

·I have what would be, I guess, unusual styles of dress, which I described here: https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/78881/mens-dress-clothings-and-dress-for-the-manly-mans-manly-man-or-girls-what-do-you-like-your-men-to-wear?show=78881#q78881

I don't know. Tell me what you think about these additional facts, and possibly how you feel about them.

Answer 6

So about poker:

First of all, there are different kinds and variations of poker. Personally, I like Stud and Five card draw, but there are others like Texas Hold'em, and Omaha. Because it's the easiest, I'll just try to explain Draw.

In all types of poker, there are two materials: playing cards, and poker chips. The cards are necessary, but you can use other things in place of cards, like coins (some people use pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to play) or even candies. When I play, I have a nice case of professional, heavy, ceramic champion-weighted poker chips. They're basically just round, semi-heavy tokens that are marked with different colors. Different games and people will set their values differently, but generally, they are just "chips" with colored marks, the values for each color being as follows:

White=1

Green=5

Red=10

Blue=20

Black=40

In a real game (like, in an old saloon or in a modern casino), you would buy the number of chips you wanted based on the values of each. 

The dealer shuffles a deck of cards, and everyone puts in their initial bet (we call it a Rosy). This is usually just one chip, put in the middle of the table. It shows that you will be in the game and playing. By the way, the center of the table where the chips go will be called a "pot". 

The dealer now deals out five cards to each player. Each player looks at their cards and determines what they will do. This is when the first round of betting takes place. This means that the player to the left of the dealer will put in however many chips he wants. If he didn't think that he has good cards it that he will lose, then he might only put in a white chip. But if he thinks he has good cards, he might bet a red chip. Or, if he really doesn't like his hand, he can fold, which is when a player puts puts down his cards and quits the game. 

The play then continues to the next player. She may choose to fold as well, or she can see the other players. By seeing them, she will either bet the same amount that player one did, or she might bet even more. This way, the next player has to do the same thing. Once it gets back to the dealer, players can trade up to three of their cards for new ones that they hope will be better. 

A second round of betting then takes place. It goes the same as before. If there are players that didn't fold, then they all reveal their hands. The player with the best cards then takes the pot and wind that round of play.

The hands of cards are ranked, to determine who has the best five cards. 

Royal Flush: A, King, Queen, Jack, 10, all in the same suite. --This is the best possible hand, but it hardly ever happens to anybody. To get those exact five, all in the same suite, like hearts, is a true miracle.

 

The most common is that last one: high card. I mean, every time you have a high card, so it shouldn't really count. Saying that, I've won lots of chips just because I had a terrible hand of, like, a high of six. That's about the worst hand possible. Oh, and sorry I couldn't make that picture a bit smaller. It was just the best one I found for you on an internet search.

Hopefully you sort of get the idea. But, actually, I'm not sure how boring that was, but I kind of enjoyed it. Tell me if you have any questions at all about it. I'd be more than happy to tell you about it.

Ooooh cool! Answer my message on kn loser

---

I did, just two hours after you sent them. KS just took longer to approve them. (And, KS, don't try to say anything here. I don't really need to in all of my business and conversations.)

---

Oh ok Imma check real quick

---

Did you have any questions about poker? Or was that too boring?

---

No, no, ur fine! Hmmm. Do you actually bet money?

---

That depends. In a professional game, like at a casino, you buy the chips with real money before the game begins. Then every time you bet chips, you're basically betting money. The chips just stand for money. When the game is over, the winner collects his/her chips from the pot and cashes them in for real money again. Does that answer your question?

---

I agree about ur clothing choose if there is anything i wear other than jeans and a shirt I am fancy.   I also agree on ur music choose! I LOVE BLUEGRASS! If u have sirusxm Play Bluegrass Junction! it has the best music!

 

 I also have a question for u duke! Do u wear boots? If u do ur favorite brand of boots what are they? ( My are Arait ) 

---

Ariat's a great brand of boots. I do wear boots, but I currently have none, and need a new pair...

I like Ariat, Stetsons, and Tony Lama.

But I really, really do need a new pair.

---

Also, where do you live? I just mean, like, a region of a state. You don't have to be too specific with towns and stuff.

---

Yes, thank you! I live around Santa Fe, the capitol of NM.

---

Oh no... Really? Santa Fe? You do realize that that's probably the coolest city I've been to, right? It even beats Asheville, which was a cool city. Oh, but the memories. Those wonderful moments of the spicy foods, and my dad dying from his Frito pie. And the culture...that's a great area to live in. Plus, you're able to get to the wilderness, the mountains, and the desert, without going all that far.

Does that mean that you know about Forest? We were looking for his treasure for years, then the doctor guy found it, then he died...(R.I.P. Fenn)

---

I live abt 45 mins away from Santa Fe, we're in a really small town. Omg is your dad ok?! Hahaa I understand tho, I can't tolerate spicy food very well lol. Once, I ate a Taki (those weird chips with the spicy powder that you can tell is artificial) and I literally started crying- .

---

I like the small towns. My dad...well, I'll just say that I enjoyed it when this happened.

*He orders my mom those spicy pepper things, and me and him Frito Pies*

*I try my food* That's spicy.

*He tries some of his* That's not spicy. What's wrong?

[Thirty seconds later] Ooooooohhhhhh that's spicy

*He races around the lodge, trying to find water or milk*

---

Omg haha!! Yeah that would be me-I’m watching captain marvel. And DANG are the shapeshifters ugly-

---

Oh, are you? My mom made me watch it with her shortly after it came out. It want as bad as I expected...well, I guess it wasn't that bad at all. It's interesting that it takes place before the whole team was created.

But my favourite thing about it was how Fury came to get his eye injury. I thought that it was from a fight or something. Nope, just a cat (well...sort of a cat).

---

GOOSE. GOOSE THE CAT HAHA SBHGHNj like why goose??

---

I don't know. That was my dad's favorite part of the whole movie.

---

I love goose. it's perfect. goose. hehe.

Answer 7

Oh! For some reason I forgot one other thing: Poker! I enjoy playing poker, and honestly, I've gotten pretty good at it (I think). There are a lot of people out there that don't like it just because of its reputation. The guys at the saloons and stuff used to play it with their whiskeys and of course there were the draws that happened for various reasons, and usually ended up getting people killed our disabled.........

I don't bore you by telling you how to play, though.

Comments

How do you? I've never played it.

---

The game itself is really fun when you're playing it, though. It's not just luck like a lot of people think. It's also a lot of skill and sneakiness.

---

Ooooh we need to play it sometime

---

I tried to find online poker sites, but they all seem, well, not that reliable or trustworthy. The only good ones seem to be the ones that you pay for. Besides, poker is a game that, in my opinion, it's better played in person. I wish that there was some way, though.

Answer 8

Here are my stamping tools. The piece of leather at the bottom show what each one does to the leather. The beveler or swivel knife in the middle can be used like a knife to cut into the leather before tapping.

Comments

Ooooohhh i n t e r e s t i n g

Answer 9

Oh, I almost forgot. There's this new thing I've gotten in to: making chewing toothpicks. I enjoy taking finger-or-thumb-sized branches and whittling them down to tiny twigs. I make then nice and even, trim them to the desired length (my largest toothpick it about three inches long), roughly round the ends, then sand. And sand. I practically polish them with a little square of sandpaper I always carry with me, and make sure that they're perfect. They're called "chewing toothpicks" because they're made for chewing on, not actually getting stuff out of your teeth. That's why I've stopped sharpening the edges; the taste of blood isn't quite as good as the taste of peppermint.

Oh, yeah, amidst forgot again, they aren't normal blunt-ended toothpicks, either. I stick them in extracts to flavor then as various things so that they absorb the flavour. Sometimes I also woodburn one end of them, and maybe a thin line or spiral down the whole thing, to give them that wonderful smoky flavor and smell. Just 'cause, ya know, I can be weird like that.

Comments

Woahh you might just be the coolest person I’ve ever met..!

---

It's okay, you don't have to talk to me like that...

---

I- excuse me? Excuse me? What did you just say? No. You're amazing, never let anybody tell you otherwise. If they do, just send them my way. I just wanna talk, trust me....shut up, you are the coolest person ever, ok? If I hear you talk bad abt yourself again, I will find where you live and tackle you. Ya hear?

---

Well, I must admit that you sound pretty well darn 'cool,' too.

---

Aww thank you love.

Answer 10

First, to tap leather, I take a piece of worked leather and cut it to my desired shape. There are also pre-cut pieces you can buy. Then, I get a knife or a small sharp tool for this purpose and use it to cut a thin line into the leather. For more detailed designs, I might use a pen to draw on a piece of parchment, then secure it to the leather piece.

I was trying to find a good picture of what I have as my tools, but couldn't.

After I cut the design into the leather and take the paper off, I can begin tapping. The way that I go about this varies based on the particular piece. The tools have texture on the bottom of them, so that it leaves an impression in the leather when you hit it with a mallet. The different tools look different when you hit them. It actually takes quite a bit of precision and practice to get good at this. What stamp you use, how hard you hit it, where you hit, and the angle at which you hit it all take part in the process. I can give a simple design like a flower a lot of texture, depth, and shading with the stamp tools. I can also make some other designs using just the stamps, and muskrat all sorts of cool things. For instance, I've made coin pouches, bags and satchels, belts, coasters, wallets, bracelets, and key chains. As my next project, I'd like to make a nice sheath for a big fixed blade I'm going to buy myself.

Anyhow, when I'm happy with the trapping, I can start to finish it. The untouched leather is normally pretty light coloured at first, but the harder you hit it, the darker it becomes. This is another reason it can be a bit tricky. If I want to change the color, however, I can take a small stick, toothpick, or something similar, and dip it in water. Very carefully, I then color the desired places on the leather. The more water I use, the darker it becomes. That is for if I want additional shading out texture to it. If I want the piece to be darker overall, I can either take a sponge, piece of cloth, or my finger, and evenly and smoothly rub it over the surface. I must decide how it will look then, because there will be no turning back on the color after that.

The next step is to waterproof it. I normally use a sponge for this step. After lightly saturating the sponge in a quick-dry non-toxic leather solution, I hurry to rub it evenly over the entire surface of the piece, front and back. The color will now be permanent, and I can only do one other thing to it.

If the piece requires it, I can now add "accessories" to it. For example, I may choose to lace leather cord through holes that I poked out with an awl, add brads to holes to keep pieces together (like one of my coin pouches), or even sew other pieces together with a natural cord, like sinew (the stringy stuff that holds your muscles onto your bones with) or hemp cord.

Really, that's all that there is to it. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to post pictures of my materials or some projects.

Are you sure that I'm not annoying you? If I'm not, that's kind of weird, considering that most people aren't interested in this stuff.

Comments

No no I’m sure! This is actually really cool my dude! If you ever want to talk to me abt any your interests or anything else, you aren’t annoying me whatsoever! Btw what your b day? Could you possibly tell me the time you were born? It’s ok if not. I was born June 3rd at 10:55 am!

---

Uhh. Yeah sure, kind of random question (but then again, look at me), so whatever. I was born on June 7th at 12:03 a.m. Three minutes past midnight. Kind of odd, though, that we're only four days apart, setting aside years.

---

Wait you’re also a Gemini! Cool!! Sorry I like astrology ha

---

Yep. "The twins." Honestly, some of my traits do match up with the Gemini's description.

---

Yeah, same!!
