AnneLine Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) That's amazing, dude. Brian...we must think alike... because I had just typed what is below when the Phorum told me someone else had added a comment.... That is amazing. What I had planned to add in addition is that you have invented wooden tissue paper, ARFink! There is part of me that would want to touch it... and part of me would be afraid of sticking my finger through it. But it really is an astonishing thing! Edited April 24, 2013 by AnneLine

It's harder than you might think. :)
arfink Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 So I leave my room for a bit to go pick up my brother from school. I come back to find my 3yr old sister Bella in my room. She is jumping on the bed, singing, and eating Doritos. At the same time. And wiping her hands on my sheets. So I say "What are you doing?" Bella: "I dunno!" Me: "You are eating all my chips." Bella: "Yup! LA LA LA LA LA BUMMP-AAAAA" (I have no idea what she was singing)/Bella wipes hands on my bed spread Me: "You are wiping your hands on my bed. Please don't do that." Bella: "I am NOT wiping my hands on the bed!" Me: "Get over here." /grabs Bella "You need a napkin." Bella "OK." /grabs sock Me: "NO NO NO!"
AnneLine Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 That's a very BELLA picture, ARFink. And what colors, pray tell, would you use to paint it. Go ahead. You'll feel BETTER! (And hey... it could have been CHEEZ-ITS or CHEETOs or barbecue DORITOS!) But more seriously, that's a pain....

This made me laugh. :hehe2: Your little sister sounds cute.
arfink Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 This made me laugh. :hehe2: Your little sister sounds cute. She is. Here she is with balloons from the other day. :)

arfink Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Well, good news for the day. I found an interesting job lead today, and also found out that not only are my references going to be good for this, I also have at least one mutual friend with the owner. So hopefully this will work out OK.

arfink Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Good luck! Prayers that it goes well for you! Thanks! I am contacting my references tonight, so hopefully I can get some or all of them on board, that would rock.
Beati Pacifici Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Hey Fink. . saw this and though immediately to send it to you: http://cheezburger.com/63237

AnneLine Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) ARFink... was thinking about your multi-layer art stuff.... and I am wondering if something like this would work as a nifty case for it if the size could be made to work.... It would have the advantage of being able to be OPENED so people could examine it carefully... but also CLOSED to keep out dust. Maybe you can come up with a similar idea if these are too expensive? Or put together a square one with a front opening? These (and there are a lot of similar ones out there, in varying price ranges....) Beveled glass front High quality crafted hinged lid for easy flag insertion Magnetic closure lid Wall mount included This case is designed to hold a 3ft x 5ft flag Available in beautiful black cherry, cherry, & oak finishes Outside Dimensions: 17 3/4"(W) x 8 3/4"(H) x 3 3/4(D) Inside Dimensions: 16 1/4" (W) x 8" (H) x 2 3/8" (D) http://www.united-states-flag.com/officers-3x5-flag-display-case.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=46744713282&utm_content=pla&gclid=CLSGy7eH5bYCFU7hQgodykwA3Q And this just struck me funny... because it comes from CHINA. Look at the engraved words and symbols! http://www.yuanlinwoods.com/wooden_laser_engraved_products YOURS are far better done.... and made in Minnesota~! Edited April 25, 2013 by AnneLine
arfink Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 You are right, those aren't very good lookin. And the guy takes horrible care of his laser. Look at that mess! So much varnish built up on that cable carrier...

arfink Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Well, it's all sent in for that job. Soon I will look for others too. :) Meanwhile, I think I shall paint.
AnneLine Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I first read that as 'I shall pant'. Job hunting is hard work, but still.....

arfink Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 So I'm going to share a piece of something I wrote for the guys at Team Orthodoxy which will be published tomorrow. (scheduled to hit the front page in roughly an hour) I lost my job on Saturday. So this is actually not an awesome thing. It’s actually kinda sad. But losing my job taught me something very important: Hope is awesome. And Hope is also not the same thing as optimism. Optimism is thinking that everything will be OK in the end and God will make it all happy and wonderful and that I’ll get a new job in no time and my bills wont be late and the mafia won’t have to come and kidnap me because I didn’t pay the sharks. This is not Hope. Hope is very different. In fact, Hope is so different that you can still have Hope even when you know you’ll never get a job, and the bills won’t get paid, and the mafia is going to take you away and acquaint you with some very fresh seafood. Sometimes God doesn’t make everything all better. But God will always be there in the end. Even if that means you have to meet your end to get there. Hope means God will make sure everything works out for your eternal good (assuming you allow Him to do so by following His will), even if it means horrible things will happen to you. Fortunately for me, and for all the rest of humanity, God not only gives us Hope, he very often gives us reason for optimism. And that is also super cool.
