Hey fyrestarter. Sorry to hear that things aren't working out with the shop. It siucks when things just don't seem to work out the way we want. I feel for you. I struggled for years as an artist before finally finding a way to make ends meet. Be with your sandess. It's real (eventhough it sucks). You should take some pics of somoe of your art and put them in your pics area or up on a website for people to look at. I could put some up in a subdirectory of my site for you if you're interested. (Always willing to help out another artist--especially one who likes abstract nude women.) Let me know if interested. I think there is a link to my website in my profile info. If not, contact me directly and we can chat. Feel better.

(In case you are wondering who I am, you sent me a welcome a while back from a post I put on the Buddhist group board)

i think i am going to have to close down my shop. i am doing some numbers and trying to decide if it's worth it at this point. it was very important to me for a while, but it has been too much of a struggle for me to keep it open. now i almost feel like i don't want to deal with it anymore....

Keeping a small business going is rough, and it looks like there's a lot of framing competion here in town.

Do what you think is best, and things will probably work out okay..

Ugh, sorry to hear things aren't going well. Let's run away from home together. kiss

Fire chains? Color me curious. wink

Fire chains sounds like a cool talent. I juggle some, but, that's pretty mundane compared to slinging around balls of flame.

Hey, thanks for the offer. I would love to get some advice. I took the new meds today, and it made my stomach hurt soooo bad. frown Also, do you know a good salt substitute? My taste buds are freaking out right now! wink

Holy crap...how is your friend doing? The way you described her face and the tree sounded really painful! eeek

skull hello..

i have a question...

why do some people honestly think that sexual orientation is a chioce? the people who own the store where my shop is are constantly talking about how they believe that homosexuality is a chioce. and therefore they are "against" it. i'm obviously liberal and disagree with them, but it comes up quite often. i guess because of the recent...

opinions are like assholes, they are everywhere.

We get the same kind of assholes at the coffee shop (not opinions, but the ones from your entry). It's tough to just bite your tongue, since I feel that there is a time and a place for everything, and at work is neither the time or the place for a heated political and ethical debate with a total stranger. Although, they are the ones who instigated it, so why not? Ah, I love contradicting myself.
