Everyone calm down until the dust settles.
Keep your heads but exchange e-mail addresses just in case the dues double and the rules are stiffling.
Coffee Break #29 - Halfway through January
How about a thread for email addresses no matter what??
Not a bad idea.
But do we want our email addresses 'public'?? Maybe we should just dmail?
That's what I was thinking
lily the bear site is overloaded - lots of fans waiting to see those cubs!
I could not get on.
Maybe Victor would like to be the keeper of the gate as far as email addresses go? I know he has mine, so probably has a lot of others? I agree, I would hate to lose touch with you all.
Ric, I love your plan for what to do if you win the dream home. Personally, I would sell the SUV, though. The $500K would probably be spent on paying the taxes on my win. LOL!
Oh, Victor, did you forget that I'm gonna win?!!!!
Sherrie, that sounds like some good news on your eye. Glad it wasn't so bad after all.
JoAnn, I know how you feel about Kinkade. His stuff is pretty generic, I think, and breeds a lot of copycat work. But then there will always be copycats in the art world when you get an artist whose work becomes wildly popular like his has become. There are people who either love him or hate him. Personally I like your work better. :o) Actually, that Bloomsbury Cafe piece is better than many of his more polished, finished pieces. I understand about being snobbish about collecting art. If I could afford it, I would only buy originals myself. As far as I'm concerned, I would rather spend $800 for an original that I really liked by a 'not-so-well-known' artist than for a reproduction. At a local mall here there is a so-called 'gallery' with original paintings. All cheap stuff, and cheaply done and mass-produced. Yeah, it's original stuff, all right. Along the lines of that guy who did the quickie paintings on PBS whose name escapes me.
'Fargo', JoAnn? I couldn't stand that movie. Can't believe I sat and watched the whole thing. On TV, mind you. I kept thinking it might get better, but it never did.
Hey, Polly, there's nothing wrong with collecting those things, as long as you know they really don't increase in value. I've watched shows like 'Cash In The Attic', and they say that items that are manufactured specifically as collectibles nearly never increase their value. I guess it's cause so many are mass-produced.

Hey, that originally sounded like bad news, but Dave later posted this on that quilting thread.

Did anyone happen to read that part? Looks like he has a place in the new company after all. I wouldn't panic yet.
Karen
Sure - I can do that if people want. Juts dmail me your email addy if you like. I can distribute it to whomever you choose.
thank you for doing that Victor.. we will figure something out if it doesn't work out.. but lets hope for the best and hopefully nothing will change
Let's do it now, just in case. I don't expect anything will happen, though.
Victor has my permission to give my email address to anyone on the NE forum.
mine too.. I think dmail is the best choice
Victor's "renaming" joke:
"Conan's Garden."
LOL !!!
that's funny!!!
Thanks!
lol
I really hope they don't make any drastic changes, why try to fix it if it's not broken, right?
I'm not fond of Thomas Kinkade. If I'm gonna buy a mass produced artist calendar, I usually go for the classics like Ansel Adams or a French impressionist, maybe a rennaissance painter, but I'm not in the mood for any of those. What I really want is a Calvin and Hobbes calendar. Do they make those? I had better get buying any old calendar, now that I come to think of it.
My heart nearly bottomed out when I read about Dave being kicked out, then it started beating again when I read that was just a rumor. It's still pretty scary. I didn't like it when DG was sold to NameMedia, but I have to admit, I hardly noticed a change.
Everyone loved the "Conan's Garden" joke. There were a few times where you made me laugh today, Victor, but I didn't get this one. Care to enlighten?
Karen! Sorry you didnt like Fargo.It was pretty darkly humored.
Conan O'Brien.
If Leno lets him!
I love Calvin and Hobbes. I liked Bloom County too, before Bloom county was in our local paper my sis used to clip them out and send them to me from IL.
Went grocery shopping the other day, 2 bunches of on the vine tomatoes cost me $10!!!!! how crazy!
wow!! I get them here...a bunch on the vine, 5 or 6 nice tomatoes, for $2.97.
That's sick. Would never pay that much.
Those usually taste the best out of store bought, didn't notice the price until I checked out and almost had a heart attack, can't wait to grow my own.
That is crazy! They must have been imported...from the Riviera :-)
Wow maybe mis-priced? Better be the best tasting super duper vitamin rich tomatoes on the planet if that is the real price. Do people really pay that?
I just paid 5$ for a quart of strawberries...there was a sign explaining the cost due to the freeze in Florida...I wonder how many stores will take advantage?
LOL, I think the old fashioned snuggle up together to warm the sheets is just fine. Good advertising gimmick though. I suppose if you travel alone it might be a hoot to try.
Maybe while my wife is in the bathroom?
Wow - people are writing novels on that thread about Dave. I can never read long posts like that. You should be able to make your point a lot quicker!
Post from new owners. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=7483956
Yes - that was last night.
verizon is driving me nuts right now - we use to have a stand alone phone line just for fax and dsl - i changed it the beginning of the month to have dsl run in the background on our phone line
first because we are at the "end of the cable" there were problems getting dsl to work on the phone line. no internet for two days and needed a service visit
yesterday we get shut down for non-payment - have had the dsl line for two weeks?? - they don't know why we were shut off - down for 3 hours
today shut off again for non-payment - down for another three hours - and they can't tell me why this is happening
what will tomorrow bring? - really pissed off (is that ok to say?)
I dont read the Dave posts.
All the long speculation about the change is for nothing.
Wait to see what will happen then decide if
I'm in or out.
Karen, I think you may have been referring to Bob Ross on PBS. It was more of a method than a person. Our son took some of the classes at the local Ben Franklin craft shop and produced a number of paintings, considering he was 8 or so when he started, I was impressed. Ric
This was his 1st!
I admit thats pretty good for an 8 year old. Hope he likes to paint still.
