And it auto plays in the RSS feed (Google Reader) as well! Scared me to death since I wasn't even looking at that one when it started playing!

Re: “Music” Charm Bracelet

I used UTEE for this. I don't have a melt pan, so I just melted it in a
deep spoon with my heat gun (yes, really) and poured it in each charm.

Thanks! I had so much fun making it! I have a theme for my next one, but
I'm always looking for themes!

Thank you! Funny you mention that, because I've just been considering making some more. I think I have the kinks worked out now.

Thanks for the wonderful comment. You shouldn't be embarrassed - I'm really enjoying your blog and your journey!

Thank you! I feel very validated now and am enjoying my new pens. I got the pastel ones - I had the brights before, and, of course, they complement each other!

I'm totally boring. My NaNoWriMo name is just dianeensey <grin>. I'll add
you to my buddy list, but the site server is overloaded right now...

Re: Patti Digh asks: What would you be doing today if you only had 37 days to live?

dianeensey — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:00:52 -0000

I would get in the car with my husband, my journal and art supplies and just drive wherever caught our fancy. I'd capture each moment, each day, in my journal with messages for my family and friends. A happy book that people can look at to remember me.

Re: The Artist’s Way - Week Four Starting Out

Well in my morning pages today I brainstormed all the things I could do
instead. Most of them I wouldn't want to do - like weed the garden and
start fall cleaning the house. There are also some things like finishing
the two pairs of socks I have going that I'm excited about. Listening to
music with headphones on would kind of shut out the family, wouldn't it?

I'm also excepting reading Creativityist and comments on my blog from the
reading exclusion. Maybe we need to exchange emails and set up an AA-like
support system. LOL.

Well, Cameron says not to replace reading with another activity that is
mind-numbing, like TV. I already watch too much TV, so I just won't watch
more to make up for the time I'm not reading.

Thanks for mentioning the Goldberg Variations. I bought them (Glenn Gould's work) on Amazon and they are amazing!

I'm hearing you - been getting up an hour earlier than normal and finding
that writing with closed eyes is easier than it sounds - LOL.

I think I will. Today I actually got up at 6 and stumbled down to the computer, and it actually hurt my eyes, it was so bright. I had to type with my eyes closed for the first page or two. Pen and paper seems like it might be a little more natural and less industrial. But I'm just so lazy, and typing's so easy....

Don't you hate those dreams that hit you over the head with stuff you already know? Come on, subconscious, be a little more intriguing and complex. Or maybe we are just simple people?

Thanks for the complement on my site! I find doing the pages by hand is very strange. I spend a lot of time on the computer and sometimes it feels like my fingers type without my brain engaged! LOL. Why don't you try a couple days of freehand morning pages just to experiment with the difference?

Re: What Mortgage Crisis?

You might even be able to afford me! <grin> Husband would probably enjoy having someone else foot my spa bills!

Re: What Mortgage Crisis?

chartreuse — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:52:05 -0000

Do you realize how many girlfriends I could afford if my rent was $450-$600!

I'm a lifestyle junkie. I do not envy anyone, especially landlords. I am the guy who you don't hear from for months but when something goes wrong I bother you everyday to fix it. Since I now know a landlord I like I will try to be nicer. :)

The older I get, the more my libertarian side over rules my heart. :-(

To tell the truth, it sounds like a lot of property, but our interest in it gives us enough to live on moderately - certainly nothing like the salaries we were pulling down in our corporate days in Seattle. We also live in a double-width "managers home" in the trailer park owned by my inlaws.

That sounded really defensive - but it wasn't intended that way :-). Being a landlord is a job that doesn't necessarily pay all that well, but you are working for yourself at least.

We've got a couple of rentals coming open, Char - you'd be welcome to move out West. I have a feeling rent of $450 - $650 (for a house) is probably much more reasonable than in your neck of the woods!

As a land baron :) you may be a bit biased.

As a closet libertarian I agree with you but as a realist i don't.

Government has to regulate business because if not you get exactly what's happening now...

[but do contact me if you have apts. in the Notheast. I'm always looking for new digs!]

Re: What Mortgage Crisis?

You know I love a good argument, Chartreuse - so caveats needed.

I actually don't think the government should be bailing out banks or mortgage lenders (aka Corporations) either. They should, however, probably be prosecuting them for deceptive practices, if that is indeed what happened. But this should all occur through the court system, not at the government level. If the Corporations are in the wrong, they should have to pay restitution to those they harmed.

In fact, I will admit that the lenders are are problem - extending loans which were clearly untenable. But I'll always fight to the death for the separation of business and government :-) even if it just a wispy, impossible dream....

By way of disclaimer - we are involved in 35+ residential rental properties.

Re: How could you do this to me Mr. Scoble?

dianeensey — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:28:10 -0000

I know what you mean. I resubscribed to Scoble because I miss his insights, but after only a few hours I'm wondering if I really want that noise. The really good stuff is usually tweeted by other people anyhow...
