It's like this big wax cone that you stick in your ear, then light on fire. You should try it. The smoke, and the cone shape suck nastiness out of your ear.
They really do work. Especially if you are prone to ear infections.
You get them at the health food store.

Hmm.. That's a lot better than the meaning that sprang to my mind (a candle, made out of ear wax).

The Wikki entry for ear candles is not a ringing endorsement....

Yeah right. No hippie witch doctoring here:p
If I need something sucked out of my ear I am going with a bulb suction thingy or the doc is using the ear vacuum. Magical smoke pulling the bad spirits from my head, no.

Or a rocket blower in the other ear?

Amazingly this seems to be the standard response for any holistic pratices. If there is no money in it then it must be dangerous and ineffective. I can attest that they are both safe (as long as you don't burn them to low or catch yourself on fire) and effective.

ROFLOL!!!

I've never actually used them, but Wade did once (at the suggestion of his doctor).

Yeah just blast on through the hollow cavity in between

Nice, that one was almost to easy.

Diane, your card looks nice.
If I may give a little advice, I would suggest not having the drop shadow be quite so strong. With the font that you are using, it makes it look a bit cluttered there.
Try moving the drop shadow a little closer to the words, and then turning down the opacity a bit.

Oh! Also, if you are going to have a comma after your first line, you need to add it to the other lines. Either that or remove it. There or not, either is ok, as long as it's consistent.

Not what I was thinking about.

Here it is....now, some of the black will probably be cut off by bleed/safe lines.

Are you framing it or is that for display purposes only? Normally borders on business cards aren't recommended because they can get cut off unevenly.

HAHAHA, my work is suffering. I've got to go play elf while the munchkins are sleeping. I've got a good bit of wrapping to do. Mostly homemade gifts this year though! Jams, pictures, picture books, minky blankets, goodies like that.

Mine is suffering as well....but I am getting a kick out of the whining right now. They are so NOT happy about that extra sheet.

I agree a lot of alternative medicine is poo pooed right off. That report looks like a fair bit of study went into saying it doesn't do anything. On the other had if it makes you feel better poo poo Wiki but we would like a photo next time you are hanging out with a cone of fire in your ear.

GAH, thanks for catching the comma Cat. Yeah...I thought too I needed to tone down the drop shadow a bit more. This thing has given me fits for months now as I attempted and reattempted and attempted yet again with several different designs. Most of them were just too "busy" looking. I kind of wanted to have an image on there to give it a bit of flair, but....such is life.

I have a sensor that has a few bunnies, on the 1Ds, on your advice I am putting a candle on it now, I will tell you how it went in about half an hour

Your logo looks great though.

LMAO! I wouldn't recommend that.
