Happy Birthday Hec!!!
What. It's still today. Sort of.
Juliana, I saw a pic of your tat in progress, and it was lovely, but this is so very much better even than that. Wow. Gorgeous!!
With web presses, a publication is printed on giant rolls of paper and then folded down into signatures that, for a full web press, are a multiple of 16. Then the big pieces of paper are folded and trimmed. If you want to go down any amount that isn't a multiple of 16, you either have to go to a smaller press or you have to have the smaller signature inserted separately, both of which cost money.
Couldn't you just have some empty pages? I've seen books with empty pages. Is that a not. done. thing?

It's not a Good Thing. When I worked in publishing, blank pages were the failsafe sign that a screw up happened after we were supposed to go to press. Often when we were already at press.
CONGRATS, Robin & DH! How exciting!
YAY Robin and DH!! SO EXCITING!!!
Robin, congrats on the house! it looks nice - and were those built-in bookshelves in the pictures? (envious)
Good Morning, All! I am *so* glad it is Friday. This week has seemed like forever.
My weekend will be filled with washing and packing because on Wednesday, I'm heading to my cousins' wedding, Very excited because my entire family from both sides will be there. Besides seeing my family, I'm looking forward to easy access to babysitting, shopping, and movie-watching. My brother and cousins and I are going to see
Transformers.
I'm excited because we all used to watch the show as kids.
Enjoy the wedding and the visit, Stephanie!
Yay for home-owning Robin & DH!
I'm pleased it's the weekend, too. It's DH's off-week (which means he doesn't work this Friday) so we have three days at home. Last weekend was my sister's wedding and the weekend after this one is my nephews, so we're going to enjoy this weekend at home and get some stuff done around the house and yard.
Yay, Robin! That's fantastic news!
To catch up after being out yesterday:
((((DJ and DJ's))))
Belated Happy Birthday, Hec!
Yay on house, Robin!
oh, as usual, dear. I was working at a conference that my employer is running and the guy who sells ads for our publication came by where I was. He had this little sparkly pin on (one of the exhibitors was handing them out) - it's a star printed with an American flag, and when you turn it on you get red and blue lights flashing on the points. He had it pinned to his badge, but when he needed his hands free, he put his portfolio between his legs ... and the pin came off and landed on top of the portfolio, so suddenly he was Mr. sparkly!crotch. One of the other women there was sitting down, so it was closer to her line of sight ... we both saw it, thought the same thing, and giggled hysterically until he removed the pin.
