Coffee Break #70 It's 2012!!

Ouch Marilyn!!

Congrats Teri, keep us posted!

Ugh - this cold, which seemed pretty mild has turned into a nasty sinus infection. Stuck in the recliner with the iPad. Wife will pick up a script for me. Looking at the FW site when not dizzy.

Cool.

Sorry to hear you are laid up. But, you have good reading material. ;)

Feel better Victor!

Thanks. I'll survive. Tree and decorations will have to wait a bit.

Sorry

I think I got it from you, Jen. ^_^

She thought 'Please do not touch the art' referred only to her hands.

could be

Guess she wanted to show everyone what she thought of that painting

Or marking it as her territory.

Some people are just plain nuts!

I think the painting is odd too! LOL

My immediate reaction was 'how much worse can it be made'! Or maybe the original artist used the same technique...

Hope you fell better, Victor...sinus infections are nasty....

hee hee....loved reading some of those comments....amazing what is called art

Thanks. Yes, they are. My head feels like it will explode.

This site is the gallery for my DS' new website. He is showing that he can use html and also that he understands how to make 3-D design technology accessible. If you can view 3-D via with that software, I'll find you that link too. He is hoping to impress the colleges. Getting some hits on his site would be a big boost to him.

Very cool! Forwarded it to a few peeps.

Wow!

Thanks. I'm sure he'll appreciate any attention his site gets.

Neat site Rosemary! I'm sure he will do great!!

I think I'll get Atticus to paint an abstract with his tail and maybe sell it on EBay for a cool million...

That was really neat! Kudos to him for being proactive with it.

"Cheese Man" in outer space totally rules!

Cheese Man is one of DS' favorites. When he was six he'd tape cheeseman pipecleaner figures to a pencil and fly it around the house.

I agree, Cheese Man is fantastic!

I am concerned for the lactose intolerant. ^_^

Hey - we need the gas!

I liked the dragon.....

Nikon announced the D4 today. Incredible looking. Anyone have $6K to lend me?!

And it sold out in pre-order on Amazon in under an hour! Where do people get this $$$??

$6000?????!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking at $1 buys on Yankee Candle

Guess Ashton Kusher doesnt work for free in those Nikon ads

To make matters worse, it uses a brand new type of card that is much ore expensive than the existing ones.

Rosemary - DS did a great job! I'm a fan of Cheese Man too!

Where do they get their money? Doug always said they were in 'steal'.....oh, well, maybe they remortgaged their house!

I am ready to spit nails! My insurance agent has, for the THIRD year in a row failed to get my homeowners policy renewal to my mortgage company. I swore I was going to fire them after there was a penalty last year and they blamed the mortgage company for not over nighting the payment. So why didn't THEY enclose a prepaid overnight envelope since they knew they were at fault? I should have fired them. Hurrumph!

Hate dealing with folks like that!

fire them now
