Oh dear Abuelita, you do give me hope when I read your words. Can I just humbly say that you are one great person to know? And thank you for your kind words, sometimes I just need to spout off and get the words out lest I explode.

FriarTuck, they might be quotable quotes, but they are really just what I

have learned to live with and accept, that computer knowledge stays with this old brain only as long as it is used repeatedly. Skip one day and lose the skill. Sigh...............

I was particularly depressed by your austinongpinoy web pages,w hich look so beautiful and are so useful and embracing. I want to know how to do that and must find more time to read your wonky tech blogs and gomedome's and others here. They are so useful . Thank you....for passing out what you know to the under-educated.

Powerful Words

You fight to learn something, only to lose the knowledge twenty-four hours later.

I live in Acceptance. Reality rules.

Quotable quotes I daresay.

maj, 'tink pots' are what I often got when trying out glazes.

I made one nativity, glazed, which tinked much too much and it lost some of its pretty smoothness and broke my heart, so I gave up glazes.

I had one clay, when I first began, that used to tink out small circles of itself as the years went by. I saw this happening at my Mom's house with the pieces that I had made for her. I changed clays.

But, it is a lovely little fairy sound.

I sent your UC Davis email to my wonky son and I hope that he looks it over. I did and I didn't understand a wonking thing.

ca88andra, then you would have loved that t.v. program, because they

'blowed up' various and sundry things, just to hear them explode and to watch the schrapnel fly!

Did I ever tell you about my son's "tink pot"?

His was glazing in a kiln with other students' and one of their's blew up, tossing tiny shards everywhere. A few fused into his, a plant pot about seven inches across and four deep.

If you sat very quietly, especially as it cooled off at night, for a year afterward you could hear the occasional "tink" of a shard popping loose or a crack propagating in the glaze from the invading pot pieces.
