LOL Thank you! That other post was getting mighty lengthy LOL!

Thanks, Jo!

Do any of you barter for things? I saw a former student's watercolor/ink pics and asked if I could buy one (an elephant) for my son who was her classmate. She responded with a proposal. She would not charge for her pic, if we could mat and frame another pic for her that she is donating to a silent auction. She asked if we would just drop $5 or $10 on our price. Of course, DH said we'd drop it 50%.
So, this got me to thinking, if you guys do something like that. Besides with plants or seeds.

I used to barter for everything. I had my entire garage studio wired for an electric kiln and the electritian got 2 lamps and a casserole.I traded a landsacper for digging up 80 year old spireah hedge.

I donate paintings to silent auctions for worthy causes is Cat Rescue and Epilepsy Foundation.

I dont barter for plants or seeds as I have contacts that fill those needs.

Yes, I have bartered. Mostly with my photos.

We barter alot...even work

Did a job at a radio station for advertsing

actually the new thread was early...with all our chatting we usually wait till 300 posts

I loved to barter when I was at Art Festivals. I would leave my brochure with my booth number on it,in the artists booth whose work I wanted. This way they could cruise past my booth and decide if they liked my work or not .no imbarrasing rejections.
I used barter mostly to get xmas gifts for daughters. Jewelry,Leather vests (it was the 80's)
At home a bunch of us used to have " Booze,Cruise Choose" artists trade . I have a fantastic collection of furniture,jewelry,sculpture. Those were the best times.

Jen: The other thread with misspelled title was driveing me nuts.

hee hee...I like the other one....some days I would make it coffee and other days I needed a toffee break

Ummmmm How can we work chocolate in there too.

I've never bartered but my son & his friends do it all the time.....of course, he's lucky his friends are electricians & plumbers, and he does their landscape designs....

Bartering is how I ended up married.

I dont even want to think about that.

That makes two of us.

I absolutly positive spring is comming.
Cardinals courting calls
A pair of Mourning Doves courting and they dont care who is watching
I am day dreaming when ads for Match.com are on. Slap me silly.It will pass in another month.

Uh oh, Jo is in heat!! ^_^

Whaaaaaaaa I knew there was an answer somewhere!!

And she wants Bill!!! ;)

Lol!

In case you didnt know my Ex's name was Bill. There are bad associations with the name romantically.

Maybe Bill's ex says the same?? ^_^

Glad he shot the computer and not her

Story in Philly about a girl being stalked on fb, her profile was public and he left a note for her at her grandmother's...sounds like he knows her personally...how would a random person know where your grandma lives?

Brian loved the father shooting the laptop....but he would. :)

Wow - looks like the hacker group Anonymous has taken down the CIA website now. These guys are scary powerful.

oh geez

do not know what to say - shot down by joann - tough to take............

The birds are calling, Jo, I've really heard them this week...plus I've had a robin in the yard.....no bad experiences with Bills, & we know ours is a cutie....Cindy is a lucky woman....

i will tell her that when she gets home marilyn :)

Not shot down wha. Not to woory.

I used to barter for crafts back in the day. Barter for plants now and then. Once traded plants for Spanish lessons, which were very pricey.

I'm hoping spring comes early, but we're getting snow tomorrow, and looks like the rest of the week will be cold. Brrrrr!!!!!

Karen

Tarsha is headed to the State Cheering Competition today with all her girls, please send prayers and good wishes for them today.

Go, go Tarsha!

YAY Tarsha!!! (did you see me do a cartwheel into a split while I cheered that?).

Stand up and holler! Go Tarsha!

Go T-A-R-S-H-A she's our girl!!
Best wishes for her

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y for Tarsha & her kids!

You guys are the GREATEST!!!!
I don't think I mentioned this before the super bowl as I didn't want to offend any Giant fans....Tarsha's team is called "THE PATRIOTS" .
It was only fitting that I make the whoopie pies in patriotic colors. ^_^

Jan, your cart wheel was perfect! Did you use to cheer? :)
