]Ladies, please just shoot me now and let me be pain free.

...and new beads going up right this very second. No more pinks, sorry to say.

I do have a cartoon blue rendition of the "Jane" bead though. No pics of it yet. Haven't decided whether or not to cap it, though I think I will.

I'm up tonight working on image files from which I'm having slides made. I'm really dealing with a learning curve here, as there are all kinds of things I don't know/understand about what I need to do with the files to make them suitable for transfer to slide format.

When you see the images, you'll notice black bands on part of the picture. Those are there as "filler" between the size of the picture (which varies) and the size of a slide (4096 x 2730). I guess you're supposed to fill that gap with black so that when the slide is all lit up the blank areas don't blind everyone. LOL!

Go>My PayPal has the most money it's ever had or will probably ever see for

I changed my mind about posting the slide images as-is. I removed the black bands as I didn't like the way they looked on the page. Bleah. I am SO not feeling like doing this. Stresssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Tinkella

Don't stress. If you can, walk away and try it later. A stressed Tink is never good.

I have to get the images ready to upload to slides.com immediately! I have to have them in my hot little hands in time to get the whole package of stuff to Penland no later than 5 PM on Friday the 13th. EGADS! I didn't even make the "Friday the 13th" connection until this very minute. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!! Bleah!

Initially, I was only going to apply for scholarships that didn't require slides of my work. The ones that you need slides for are based upon jurying (or something similar) to determine whether or not you have exceptional talent. Double bleah. I hate stuff like that. Oh, and I am pretty sure if I remember correctly that the Dinah Hulet class requires slides, too. So I had to bite the bullet and do this.

DARN! sorry i can't help, babe!

Thanks, sweetie! I think I'm at the point where I do need to sleep a couple of hours though. Working any longer tonight will just be counterproductive.

no kidding!!!!!!!!

----------- @vicki [SnuggleWench] (Books)

Exactly!! I spend so much time on the computer researching and doing administrative work it's pathetic. I *wish* all I did was make beads and jewelry. :)

LOL! You are so cute! OK, I'll try hard to be good (sitting on hands, whistling innocently).

I know... I was discussing this with Moxley earlier today. Working at home on our own businesses essentially means we NEVER get a break. He works from seven AM until midnight or one, and I do the same, plus managing the household, the rental, and ferrying children about and feeding, clothing, comforting, loving, and generally raising them, and then there's the yard, which I'm not ready to talk about.

Yeah, but they're Oh-My-God gorgeous!

So, what did I miss? What is the application for? A teaching position?

Oh.

Why do I never finish reading threads before asking my silly questions? Especially since I already know my server fetches messages out of order?

Friday the 13th has always been a "money" day for me. I hope it will be for you, too!

Fri the 13th can be a good day. In 1981, my divorce was final on Friday, February 13th. Of course I didn't know that until Monday or Tuesday when I received a postcard from the court. Damn! Missed celebrating that whole weekend!
