    I should!. who are these friends?. can they tuck me in??

    Baaaaddddd Starby!! Sleep is overrated... but yes... I really should do that! Thanks Batman, I didn't even realise the time. I got all ready to go out tonight, only to find out it was cancelled once again. :( So, I decided to have an evening nap. Bad Idea!! I think I will grab a snack and have some warm chocolate milk. That might do the trick!

    Have a good time with your mates Duckman! I just hope you are not having roast duck! Yikes! Once again... have a beer for me OK? Have a Great Evening!

    HALLO ALL!

    Starbs, how's your puter doing?

    Everyone's real quiet today. So let me cut into the mood. I'm doing super. It rained all day, so I didn't feel like doing anything... napped for about 3 hours while "studying"

    Found out my tail light was busted, here's the kicker. My acura has FOUR taillights! So I had to replace them all. Pshhhhhh.

    Studying while napping, how does that work Sneezy?;)

    Well you know, osmosis and whatnot. :)
  • Jul 6, 2008, 08:31 PM
    Alty
    Osmosis huh? Well, I hope that works for you. ;)

    I wrote a book today Sneezy, a children's book about a duck, want to guess what her name is? I love it, so do the kids, and hubby, and Starbuck said she likes it to. Just working on the illustrations, then I'm going to see about getting it published. I hope it happens, I really love this book. :)

    That's kind of cute. Please tell me someone gets plucked and eaten. :)

    Who's doing the illustrations?
  • Jul 6, 2008, 08:38 PM
    Alty
    No ducks were harmed in the making of this book. ;)

    I'm doing the illustrations. Didn't I ever mention that I paint and draw? I do mostly charcoals, pencil drawings, and oil paintings, but I think I'll do this in water color. I want it to look childlike and colorful, water colors (when done correctly) are very nice. I've never worked with them before, so it will be trial and error, they are very different than oils or charcoal. I'll see what happens. :)
  • Jul 6, 2008, 08:41 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Really? You do charcoal drawings??

    ... why didn't you tell me this?
  • Jul 6, 2008, 08:46 PM
    Alty
    I didn't realize that I hadn't mentioned it. My dad and I used to go to classes weekly, not really classes, but a three hour weekly session at an artists house, a 3 hour period to paint or draw and not be distracted. We loved it. I haven't done anything since he died in 2001, but I want to start again. I actually got a new easel and paints for Christmas, I'm planning on breaking in this week. It's hard to do, allot of memories of me and my dad, I'm hoping to make new ones though. :)

    ISneezeFunny
    Wow. I actually just commissioned a friend of mine (he's 19... but the kid is an artist in the making, I swear) to do 3 charcoals for me. I'll e-mail you pictures of them./

    You are going to put us back on the "most wanted" list M.:D

    Haha, love it.

    Sneezy, I'd love to see them. Just a note, I don't do people, refuse to, I never like the outcome. I do landscapes, animals, buildings, anything but people. :)

    Oh no M, has Starduck given up? But she's the main character in my book, she can't give up. If the book sells then maybe I'll have to buy her a new puter. :)

    A man of few words, but they say it all...

    Night guys, still trying to rest this body from yesterday... talk to you then. You sleep well, pleasant dreams...

    Are Canadian Geese... ducks?

    Canadian geese are geese. :)

    Goodnight Stringer my dear. Go rest that weary head, all will be well tomorrow. :)

    M, unwanted list, LMAO. :)

    Got to run, the kids want me to read the story one more time. I'm so glad they like it. I'm also going to get my dusty charcoals out, see what kind of stuff I can come up with. :)

    I'll be back later, or maybe tomorrow, I tend to get hung up when drawing, I forget the time, fall asleep with my paper and paints. It's quite the sight when I wake up. :)

    Later all, be good. :)

    Alty, anything that you put that much love and desire into can't help but be successful, especially that much love.

  • Jul 7, 2008, 09:34 AM
    bigbird213
    Good luck - if it isn't nice you can always fill the tub and threaten it a little bit. That might get you somewhere :)

    I'm doing well today, lunch time finally, a welcome break from work today! I'll be back in a while though... Hopefully your still here.
  • Jul 7, 2008, 10:17 AM

    Finished one section... have a meeting with a friend to go over my app so I'm just waiting for that. How's work going?
  • Jul 7, 2008, 10:30 AM
    starbuck8
    That was a good one Sneezer! LOL! Apparently puter is winning! The jerk put me in time out! Puter isn't going to like it when I put him in the middle of the street, and threaten to drive over him! That'll learn them! :p

    Hey Sneezy, I didn't get an attach. in your email! Can you send it again? ;)
  • Jul 7, 2008, 10:31 AM
    bigbird213
    Good luck with the rest of that. I'm enjoying every minute of being out of school for now.

    Work is all right, a little bit slow, the work I have to be doing right now is a bit boring and coming back from vacation is always tough. 2 and a half more hours.
  • Jul 7, 2008, 10:32 AM

    Starbs: will send it again.

    Remember, computers and calculators have always been mortal enemies. Always remember.

    I love my Amish Paradise... with the exception of phone email, that is.
