What can I say...I'm a man ahead of his time!!

Thanks for the replies. I'm feeling so much better about a Fitbit now and the Zip is really my style.

Are you sure that's not just a winter thing? Sleeping Giant locks most of their bathrooms for the winter.

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned… I couldn’t concentrate.

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.
3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
5. Then, tried being a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.
6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it.... couldn't cut the mustard.
7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't noteworthy.

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't have any patience.
9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.
10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income.
11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.
12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job..
13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.
14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind.
15. SO, I TRIED RETIREMENT… AND I FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

These are clues to a letterbox puzzle, right? ; )

Well, they should be! Haha
Thanks for the morning laugh.

Happy 4th AQ Anniversary Penfeather!! Are you going to try to find a box today? Or maybe plant one?

:O)

HAPPY CAKE DAY!!!

I always love your posts!!

Happy year IIII AQ, Penfeather!

Congratulations on your cake day.

woot, woot! I always your contributions especially to the LTC world!

It's my anniversary! Golly! Thanks for the reminder. I should go out and find a box. I will definitely work on my LTCs. ;)

I hope this is the right board to ask. I carved a stamp that should be stamped in gold ink. I tried stamping with pigment ink, but there are important, fine details that don't appear in the stamped image. I stamped with a dye based ink and it comes out perfectly, but I'm not aware of a gold dye based ink. Does anyone know of a gold dye based ink or some other medium that would allow fine details to appear and is the color gold?

enjoy~

Am I the only one checking the DEEP site for the new challenge? I doubt it... so I hope they really DO post it today.
I think I've refreshed the page about 30 times so far.

What kind of inks did you try? Tsukineko metallics are my favorite. I have been using the same 4 dew drops for a couple years now.

Me too.....

I keep bouncing between their site and here and my inbox ............

We're all set to get started on Saturday!

Lol, I was just going to post the same message. Come on already!

I am so ready to try job #15, but unfortunately I'm not old enough.

But honestly, my first job was as an assistant in the city library. I have turned a lot of pages since then.

Agree. Those are the only metallics I like. Sometimes the new pads are really juicy, so you might have to not put too much ink on the stamp, or even blot the ink pad just a little.

Has anyone ever tried the Staz On Metallics? I have not. Honestly I usually use fine gold embossing powder instead, but the Tsukineko is my favorite if I had to use just ink.

I have a stamp ready to carve, just need to know if I'll get to use and date it for 2017 or put it aside for another year.

I love Staz-On Metallic. They are a little more work to use and have to be re-inked often, but the re-inker comes with it and is easy, The coverage is fantastic if you get the pad evenly saturated. They also have an Opaque White that I love.

Hi! I just saw this message....could you send me more info on it? I live not too far from Kennekuk and would love to know more about "Homerdoodle in the Country 2017"!
Thanks!!

Check this link for event details. It was a fabulous event last year!

Good to know that Staz On metallics work!

Happy cake day!

Hello All! Are there any Girl Scout Troops out there interested in doing a Postal Ring? Or, if not, is anyone interested in doing a Girl Scout themed postal ring?

Thanks in advance!!

Not a troop but would be interested in that theme ;-)

I would also be interested in the theme as well :o)

The episode of Jeopardy! my plants were based on was the answer to Final Jeopardy from a January 2010 episode of the show. Wouldn't it be something if it was the episode your husband was on?

That would be funny if you used his Final Jeopardy! question for one of your plants. If I remember correctly, his was on Impressionist artists. They were shown a painting and asked for the artist. The answer was Cezanne, he put Monet (I think). We have never been able to look at a bowl of fruit the same way ;-)

Congrats again to your friend.
