Nope, no orders at all. NOTHING came of that show, other than me driving an hour round trip, making her "dinner" (it was a drawing I had at my yard sale for free ingredients), trying to keep her kid away from my knives and having her ask me personal favors (printing almost 20 pgs of pictures...

I know I haven't posted in awhile. Things have been extremely stressful for us here and very busy as well. So, I had posted back in July about my guestless show and then how the host seemed to have personal boundary issues. She's still hanging on, even though I do not message her back or...

Yes, we are very strapped for cash. As in, my husband doesn't make enough to pay our bills, my child tax benefit (Canadian) doesn't make up the difference. My parents have been helping us, and they are the only reason we still are solvent. We go no where, do nothing, and barely have...

I had an unexpected bank charge on the account that I didn't expect (they did an EMT to another account without telling me, no they won't reverse the NSF charge) and because of that and my buffer being eaten up because I had no commissions, it put it over but barely. That account is only used...

For someone who already is struggling for leads because my Director (who is a wonderful lady) has been the only consultant in the area to "work it" so everyone has shows with her, this is just another reason to be done with PC.

I am seriously ready to quit PC. I'm extremely discouraged with it. I was hoping to be able to work it enough so I wouldn't have to get an outside job. But I have no leads, practically no shows and just can't seem to get my foot in the door. Everyone already has a show booked with my...

Meet the Parents/Fockers - They are just painful to watch, a lot of this guy's (that I can't remember cause I haven't had my coffee yet this morning) are like this There's Something about Mary - It was funny the first time, subsequent viewings were just painful. American Beauty - Yeah, I...

No particular order here: Any of the '80's brat pack movies (16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, et al) Most any other '80's movie (Goonies, Footloose, etc) The original Star Wars movies (Our household slogan is "when all else fails, watch Star Wars") The Crow (LOVE LOVE LOVE...

I don't know if SA, as beautiful and durable as it is, is up to the challenge of full-time use in a restaurant. As someone mentioned, non-household use voids the warranty. As well, they are pricey (no ability to buy in bulk like in restaurant equipment stores) and you would need volume...

Oh, I totally agree!! I think it adds so much to the feel of the books, cause they are in England and they do have different names for things.

Here in Canada our books are published by Raincoast and are the "original" British version. I have books 1 - 3 (I think) in the Scholastic (US) version and there is some differences. I prefer the ones with the "British" English. I mean, they are in Britain after all! The differences are...

4 things about me you may not have known... FOUR JOBS I HAVE HAD 1. Bookkeeper for a motel 2. Front desk clerk for a motel 3. University computer lab consultant 4. Mommy FOUR PLACES I HAVE LIVED 1. the house I lived in from 3 months to 14 years 2. the house I lived in from 14 yrs to...

I would LOVE to read Hogwarts: A History. It's been nearly as integral a part of the books as anything, seeings as Hermione mentions it at least once every book! :D

The non-US versions are just over 600 pages I believe. I think the page count mostly has to do with typeface and we have no illustrations (Chapter headers or otherwise) in our version (or at least the Raincoast Publishing/Canadian edition I have doesn't). I'm not sure if the book could ever...

That's right! The room turned all freaky with the large hourglass shattering and repairing itself over and over again, right?
