I am sick of this! (mig feed problem)

|

O.k. I am just sick of this. I have spent the last 3 years trying to figure out my wire feed problem and I still haven't. It always starts out fine, smooth feed, even. Then after awhile it starts to get spitty, starts to be uneven, fits and starts. It no longer makes the pretty and perfect line it starts with.


Recent comments

When someone posts a response, does the original post go to the top when you are in the 'Recent Posts' page? It seemed like they were, and I could just read the most recent and be caught up. But it sometimes seems that responses to posts are marked 'new' but the original post doesn't rise to the top. For example, if someone posts a response to something on the 3rd page of Recent Posts, it will stay on page 3?


Spread yourself around. You never know what will happen. It could be miraculous.

One of the things we really need to remember is to not limit ourselves. Anything is possible. The more you put out there, the more comes back to you. And sometimes it is in ways we least expect. When selling online, it is such a broad net of, well, the net, that it can come at you from anywhere.

I was just over at the sandbox, commenting on a metalworkes site. Maybe I do that too much, I don't know. But I thought it was worth posting some basic information here.

Artists are visual people, websites are a visual medium. But there is a lot of other stuff going on at the same time.


Grinding Day

|

Today is grinding day. I think I have email chatted way more than grinded. If that is even a word. I try to remember that it is all a part of the whole. Grinding is no fun. To me. Because I have decided that grinding is no fun, so I made it so. It is all what we create in our minds. I have created the fact that grinding sucks. And the part of me that needs to be right has decided that I am going to be right over being happy.


Obsession

Maybe I am just obsessive. I keep at patinas. I am an official patina shop now. None satisfy me. Not really. Some are too thick. Some are too thin. Some, somewhere are just right. Must everything be a fairytale or myth? I think so.


Back to work.

Yep. I took a metal mental vacation. Wanted it sooo bad, but couldn't let go. Did it. Let go. Did nothing. Played with boys, ate with food. Puttered around and did the online jigsaw puzzle. (whoever showed that to me, damn, a full on addiction now).

Shrimp away from the steel

It could be the wine. It could be the shrimp. I think it is the shrimp. The hours of barfing this morning. Not a fun, fun thing... It is 5:30 and I am still in bed. Spent hours online trying to deduce specifically which kind of food poisoning it could be. Who knew there were so many options. Although I manifested this vomit session because my psyche could not allow myslef to leave my responsibilities, except by force, I am starting to see the fruition of my metal vacation. Already trolling the web waves for new tools. That 's Clever had a snip of a metal artist cutting with a plasma cutter. And I miss my unused, resold right in the original box, plasma cutter that I had to sell. And I wonder why that show only has chick artists. None so fab as out friend, Miss Elizabeth Fairplay Meadows, of course. She was the best one on that show.

Vendors and being late.

I hope I am reading the promise date wrong. A whole week after I placed my order. A pile of steel balls. I was sitting around waiting for the delivery today, and I reread the promise date. It was for today.
