the hubs was throwing out coffee filters that didnt fit right So I snagged them.
this am while painting eyes I realized that paper towels that I use to tone down the paint on the brush prior to china painting eyes has fuzzies on it and its annoying, a little fuzzy can ruin and eye.
So I started using the coffee filters....

I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I had a choice to make too.
I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.
The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said,
'This is for you, Momma.'
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier overreaction, but her anger flared again when she opened
the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.
'Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something
inside the package?'
She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.'
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold
box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or
faced difficult problems she would open the box
and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love
and kisses from our children, family, friends . There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet,
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
May you all feel like you have a very very full gold box. I know that I do.
Kassie and I have discussed this extensivly, and we have both done homework ( internet research etc.... ) and written our congressmen and senators....
I really urge all of you to do the same, research it and decide if this is something you want to talk to your representitives about.
Its alot easier to keep a law from becoming a law than it is to get one overturned.

6 degrees of blonde
FIRST DEGREE
A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.
The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment
and said 'How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!' and hung up.
The husband said, 'Who was that?' The wife said, 'I don't know,
some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear.'
´*:-.,_,.-:*´`´*:-.,_,.-:*´`´*:-.,_,.-:*´`´*:-.,_,-:*´`´*:-.,_,.-:*´`´*
SECOND DEGREE
Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on
the sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the
mirror and says, 'Hmm, this person looks familiar.' The second blonde
says, 'Here, let me see!' So the first blonde hands her the compact.
The second one looks in the mirror and says, 'You dummy, it's me!'
THIRD DEGREE
A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her,
so she goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment
unexpectedly and when she opens the door she finds him
in the arms of a redhead.
Well, the blonde is really angry.
She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so,
she is overcome with grief.
She takes the gun and puts it to her head.
The boyfriend yells, 'No, honey, don't do it!!!'
The blonde replies, 'Shut up, you're next!'
FOURTH DEGREE
A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals.
She proudly says, 'Go ahead, and ask me, I know all of them.'
A friend says, 'OK, what's the capital of Wisconsin ?'
The blonde replies, 'Oh, that's easy: W.'
FIFTH DEGREE
What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was pregnant?
'Is it mine?'
SIXTH DEGREE
Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house
ransacked and burglarized.
She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime.
The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, and a K-9 unit, patrolling nearby was the first to respond.
As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog,
then sat down on the steps.
Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, 'I come home to find all my possessions stolen.
I call the police for help, and what do they do?
They send me a BLIND policeman.'
OK. Now forward this to someone else who needs a laugh today.
Please feel free to substitute any hair color you like.....no intention to annoy, bother, hurt, shock,depress any individual or groups of individuals, or even groups of blond teddy bears.
But then even blond teddie are not easily annoyed.....they have such even temperments, these teddies, something to be emmulated

PS how wonderful to have your son home for a bit!
Well, I certainly have new found respect for the logistics and the financial outlay that promoters go through while planning/ putting on a show. It is a mind boggeling outlay financially but also the emotional/creative outlay, wear and tear on the psyche and body.
That being said, I want to applaud everyone here, for this is a hot topic, and yet everyone's sincerity is coming through, if we readers read all the posts all the way through. I appreciate that many were concerned about posting, but it was a lively discussion and everyone's concerns are valid, questions answered. It is appreciated that everyone has made an effort here to have a fair discussion.
It is also appreciated, by one who had no idea, what a tremendous amount of work must go into a show of any size, and Daphne, I think you must start a year ahead of time to get it all done, and even with a whole year, I dont know how you do it, but with exceptional organization.
Thank you everyone, for a brief education on the shows and what must be done to keep them alive, and the general health of the industry in general.
dilu
Daphne,
do you break even? I think not even breaking even would be a very scarry situation.
Here's a prayer for your next show that you do more and better than breaking even-may you be especially blessed by something surprising in the next show as well.
dilu
Hmmmm isn't capital one mastercard and visa? So much for the vikings......
Oh she is a lovely big lady! Lucky you to have such a fantastic new friend, even if her ear is falling off just a bit.....I am positive that thisz will all right itself and in the meantime we have a dandy new member!
Hugs
