I used to see that mag when I was pre-school aged.
And I liked the article on line about the Harvey Boys.

maj, I think it's only by subscription, tho' unsure.
Email me and I'll mail you, my greatest helpmate, a copy, just for you to see the pictures of my lovely state....Arizona is mildly spectacular on good days and is even fabulous here and there, upon occasion.

Temple, yes she's wildly beloved and probably won't come to us.
We don't have the tracks, the humidity, the hurricanes, the rocket ships, the drunken idiots and rain to fill up her car, the things that she is so used to and probably can't pull herself away from, ever.
But, we did build up her ego, and that's only good.

EXPECTED!
We're very happy for you. We found your paintings to be transcendentally scrumptious. Keep flowering.

LadyKenobi, you still have to move here, maj says I need a roommate.
Must start a commune was what he said. Ready to commune with the Desert Spirits, rather than the gods of wind and rain??!?!?

wiley, congratulations on the eBay sale!! Figure out the mailing costs
BEFORE posting the sale of the object and then include it in the price for the piece. Saves you miscalculating and losing all your profits at the post office.....
What else are you going to sell on eBay? That big boulder in the front of the house!!!???!?!?

tely, what do you have for me to sell in my store on eBay??
Just asking. You could answer with a box of things set aside for sale there. I would just need photos....descriptions and starting prices for the auctions or store pages.....

maj, change is scarey. The mother board is corrupted and useless. I have
begun a savings account and a friend told me how to get a Dell, new for around $350, if I keep this old monitor....sounds like it's do-able....thanks for watching my back constantly.

ca88andra, thanks. Didn't you inquire about little Hopi angels before?
If that was you, I made two for you.....email me and I'll tell you your special price.....feeling philanthropic today. Must be the back side of the depression, the soaring heights of unreality!

Temple, yes it is. I know what to do with stress and failures and I know
how to struggle, but when possibilities begin to appear, I fall apart, so much more to do, out of my comfortable comfort zone, as they say.
Depression is so large inside the rooms where it grows. I should just get in the car and walk in the park or mountains and not do what I had been doing.
I did say that I would stop because I had to stop pitying myself and I have. I began to work in clay again today, maiking a custom piece for a new online customer. He wanted a Hindu father from Guyana swinging his daughter around in the air in a circle and so I had to put up a tree trunk to hold an angel which holds up the little girl's feet, so that it all doesn't crash and break.
He wanted a small $100 piece, but I was so very, very, very happy to be back to work, dry eyed, that my hands made this huge thing worth around $300 and shall only get $100 for it. However, I broke the downer with it and am so grateful that it is my gift to him for his request which pullied me out of this pit.
I'm back on track and life is good again.

Well the good news is that there are steps you can take plus ............
you wonderful sense of self ridicule. See if you can't work a charm on the landlord and go for it. I am sorry that you have been feeling down. I wish we could take tea or something stronger together

Change is scarey.
Too bad one of your cohorts couldn't move in. Start a commune!
Get Friar Tuck to help with the computer. I'll bet he can come up with some good advice, like taking off all the video games or making a hard drive division. Heck, through your signs and symptoms out here and we'll all chaw on 'em.

Sounds like you found your own little angel, Abuelita.
Maybe she can show you the new way, indeed, so you can't paint more when the mood strikes you. Listen up now "old dog," you are not very, very old. That is 80+. I hope that things open wide wide wide for you and money stops being such a huge issue. I'm sorry to hear that you are having down days, I understand how they can take over sometimes. Why are you depressed? Is it all the change? Take care, soul grandmother, and I wish you many blessings.
