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.

Hand to G-d, an acquaintance of mine (who SHOULD know better) said that to me recently.

It's a lot to ask on a holiday Saturday but I'm wondering if I could get some opinions on a new site I'm going to be launching soon.

Please ignore the huge cat photo that has nothing to do with anything at ALL. It's just what the developer chose as a place holder.

The two things I'm thinking are that I want the dots in the title to go away and have the title be perhaps two points larger.

Also, I'm wondering if I should make the admin text on the right grey.

Plus, I'd like the date and added by at the bottom of the post.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
