This thought has been on my mind since yesterday and I just have to voice it in here. The people who offered to take up a collection to help me pay the down payment required for a needed surgery yesterday really got to me. I told my story and in less than half an hour the fund drive was...

This is a first. Seems surgeon and hospital now want money up front before doing surgery - never was a requirement for previous 14 surgeries. It's $2,000 between the two. With 3 kids in college, I simply can't do it. Have to live with poking guts back into hernia awhile longer. Funny thing is, a...

My daughter is in a digital graphics class in college. She had an assignment to create a vintage looking poster. Awhile back, I did a series of interior decor signs where I put myself into the shoes of a rural signpainter who was self taught. I created a series of hand painted ads for a...

I have a friend with an old Dell laptop that was given to him. He has had a liver transplant and hip replacement and after 6 years is getting back on his feet as an insurance adjuster. He needs laptop for job and will be awhile getting the money for a new one. His problem is it randomly shuts...

Just got back from appointment with "my" surgeon... at least she's the one who has had me on the table the last 6 out of 14 major surgeries. It's kind of weird having a doctor comfortable enough with you to give you a big hug when they come into the room. I have a hernia on my 14" long incision...

I feel stupid for even asking this, but here goes. Someone offered to sell me Win7 Pro last night for $75.00 ($200 program I think). They said two installations of it are allowed and they installed it on one computer already. Would I be able to install it and register it as well from a different...

I have a spare computer we bought from a local university sale. The volume licensing issue precluded our receiving an OS disc with it. It is locked into a bootup loop which won't let it open up fully. I had a friend who is an IT guy at Lockheed look at it yesterday. He said the hardware is all...

If only I could have stayed at work that extra 5 minutes yesterday instead of leaving a bit early! Coming home on rain slick roads I navigated a congested freeway just fine. Getting off on secondary highway however was another story. The traffic on this road was unusually heavy, owing I guess to...

I have to design channel letters from this business card. I know I've seen this font but can't recall what it is. Thanks.

I had a PM this morning from someone who hasn't seen me in awhile. They commented that work must be making me turn grey after they saw my new avatar pic. Maybe so... but I think it's just more noticeable since my hair is longer. I have a question for the ladies in here. Is there a hair treatment...

This is a semi-repost of info I updated on the "help my daughter win tattoo contest" thread a few days ago. Kaitlyn asked me to thank Signs101 for helping her win the $250 tattoo contest she was in. There were two categories to win - best art and best story. Signs101 voters had her solidly in...

While researching ways to get off of blood pressure medication I stumbled onto an article about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. It stated that 85% of people on BP meds could get off them within 8 weeks by adhering to a vegetarian diet. This led to researching becoming a vegetarian, and...

Today is the last day for the tattoo contest my daughter is in to win $250 she needs towards her college education. In the past few weeks, the fine folks here on Signs101 who have voted for her catapulted her into first place worldwide... an accomplishment we should be proud of. A few...

Jillbeans has been notably absent for going on two days. I need my fix of her comments. Anyone know wazzup?

I would like to invite everyone to visit:http://taleofthetattoo.com/Tattoo.aspx?wid=Y4D2ZXWYRZST My daughter is currently in second place to win the $250 prize, which would help her out a great deal with education expenses. You have to register to vote, but hey - I'd do it for your daughter...

On Monday when I got home from work I noticed a small tan dog curled up under a bush in the corners of a fence around my yard. She didn't move when I approached her, but began to whine and shiver terribly. I could she she was incredibly frightened, and she had no collar. I could also see she had...

There have been a few threads recently mentioning Cutawls. I thought I'd post this little project of an interior decor piece that was done with my K-11 Cutawl. The pieces were cut out like a jigsaw puzzle and inlaid into a background also cut like a jigsaw. A Dremel tool was used to round the...

Another sign company made these, and we are being requested to make another set with different copy - BUT in this same font. I'm beginning to feel these may be a custom design letter, but figured you guys were worth a shot?

I don't seem to have this in my computer. Any guesses?

I spend 8 hours a day working with X3. At least half a dozen times a day it instantly goes all the way to its max zoom all on its own. Is there a setting I can change to stop this?
