By the way, Erin, I meant to write about your site launch. I have to say, I love it. The humor and competency come through beautifully.
I like the way you changed the 'about' page. Nice one!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thanks, bonny! It's still in-progress, but I am becoming increasingly pleased with it...thanks to Ginger and Amy's gracious help.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I cannot make Zazzle work. Do we have any buffistas out there selling bumper stickers? I would buy
"BECAUSE they LOVE each other and they DESERVE to be HAPPY"
if you would make it.
love, -Laga

move out and draw fire
I need to do some zazzle stuff, so I'll try to add that bumper sticker to my shop today.
"OOh, I've bought a bunch of your paintings and I love them! I want more! Will you give me one free?"
Speaking as the child of two fine artists, this shit actually happens.

Raq, I can believe it. It's on a par with people who meet a doctor or lawyer and ask for free medical or legal advice.

I actually don't mind when people ask me things on the fly. If I'm in the mood, I will too often 'give it away.' But, I can also draw good boundaries when I want to and can calmly offer my card.
The thing that grinds my gizzard is when people are actively disrespectful or entitled. After all, since what I do just comes from my mind then I SHOULD just give them whatever they need.
Sometimes I wish I was a shopkeeper.
Not really. But, a less complex career choice on my part might have been good.

I blame the restaurateurs who have conditioned us to expect free things from our friends (but not a whole meal for cying out loud!)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am grateful when I get comped, but I do not expect it and I never ask for it. I might ask to barter, yes.

When I worked as a server at a popular restaurant in a Chicago suburb I could go places I would never have afforded otherwise because managers and chefs would recognize me and give me free stuff. I have gotten free meals but yeah, never expected it. Sometimes I miss those days of being 'in the biz'.

It's kind of like when I read something from an author who said people would say they had a GREAT idea for a book ... you write it and we can split the profits.
