And guess what!! I've just make my biggest non-wedding photo sale. 18 8x10 shots of my shots from the CG shoot were purchased today. AND Dan's made his first sale ever (non-wedding) because 2 of his were purchased as well!! We didn't make much at all because the price list on these is very low so that it's no hardship for the families to buy if they want....but VERY COOL HUH?

That's great! Congrats!!

Great on both you and Dan, Lisa. Well done.

Congratulations Lisa, I'm glad you've made a sale.

My hairdresser's going to freak out. My husband...I dunno...

Hold on I thought you were ditching the $130 a week trip to the hair dresser

We NEVER getta see you there is always a hair issue

That is exactly what I was thinking and I just didn't say in my reply to Tiff because I could not remember!!!! Glad I'm not the only one!

I'm totally not caught up this is a run through really quick. Had to rush up to my mom & dad's house. Dad was out working in a cell phone dead zone so mom called me when she fell and hurt herself. We're back from the urgent care with 7 stitches above her eye, a broken toe and some other scrapes and bangs.... Could've been much worse! So I'm off again....

Oh no wish her a fast recovery!

I want one of those popcorn makers too! Microwaved popcorn tastes TERRIBLE!

That is because it is. I don't get that thing. It looks like a pan with a way to tighten the lid and a way to spin it. Does this mean you don't need oil or something?. If you still need oil then I don't see anything different than a pan with a lid. I put 2 tbs of light olive oil(the kind for frying) in a deep pan over a medium flame. Wait until it starts popping and shake it occasionally until the popping slows to 1 or 2 a second.

I ran out of voting enbergy and did not complete the ballot. I think voting should be a several day process with naps in between X marks.

You can PM me your finished ballot if you want, or, if you're not afraid to go public with your votes, you can just post 'em.

Do not put your murder plans online, armatures

I lost some quotes but I do remember one. I came up with Good morning afterevening and Jamie abbreviated it.

good afternoon Zane.

DRob *nods*

Hey Zaney!

I did move to another hairdresser. It started at $80 every six weeks but then with the cost of living it was $120 + tip. That's what happened to that.

Ah, so it was a joint effort! No wonder I keep getting all confuzzled about who invented it...

I'm so glad I'm not female. A couple bucks for a good disposable razor and I'm good for a month or two... I haven't been to a hairdresser since the late 1980's. They were called barbers back then.

My hair dresser is only $100 for cut and color!

I pay 10 bucks plus a 5 dollar tip at Great Clips. If you want I can look for a coupon for you, Lisa. Just say the word.

Check out the 3rd shot in this series. Very cool cat shot.

While I did cast my vote for the Permie/Kit ticket, I want you to know I still support your cause. There was just no better choice and I couldn't think of a good write-in...
