     hello campers.......gary and i went camping....love camping!!!....and met some really fabulous people........in case you wondered...no i don't have any problem talking with anyone.....i can regurgitate my whole life story in a matter of minutes....sometimes people like to walk away while i'm talking, so i figure they just must be cold and need to get in the sun...well cause who doesn't?!.......so i follow them, sometimes we end having a good run instead of a walk.....by the way i can still talk when i run....pretty good skill to have........
     so i met keith, linda and simba....very groovy boxer, simba...not keith or linda........and keith shared a great idea for marketing......seems he started his own business doing power washing (which would be helpful if i had his info to pass on to others...but i do not, unless they read this post) and is having a pretty good go at it ...he suggested i try "next door"....i said the tent next door...he said no the group...i said "what group of tents?"...you understand why people run when i show up........so along with my pricing research i'm checking next door out....has anyone else had any success (ha ha ...i always spell that like it's a cheer..ha ha...makes me laugh)...ok..... with next door? sounds like it could be a very helpful tool......like duct tape......by the way duct tape is one of those things that if you have it you should be able to get yourself out of a mess  of fixes and fix alot of messes....
      we went to japan once...one of our daughters lived over there for a bit, we brought a large majority of family with us too...because if you go to japan everyone must go too!......it's a family affair....wasn't that a great show??!!!...who doesn't want a mr. french in their house...and did that buffy become the vampire slayer?  and if so was mrs. beasly her sidekick?......
      anyway...back to japan.......if you ever get a chance to go, i would ...really call me i'll go again.... but i remember watching this Japanese tv show during some down time.....when i go places there is not alot of downtime....gotta see everything!!!..our daughter actually went back to work she was so tired of all the going......but anyway,  i believe it was a qvc like program....everything over there is interesting ..."why" you ask....cause it's in japanese!!!!.....but they were showing (cause i don't speak japanese i couldn't understand them)  how if you have these 10 things you can do pretty much anything......i don't remember all the things, but duct tape, wire clothes hangers, and newspaper were 3 of the 10.......good info for future use!
        did you know that most people pronounce duct tape as  duck tape not duct tape....i believe if you actually pronounced it the way it's spelled people would think you have a speaking problem, maybe a lisp, you'd probably spit all over people...that's not very pleasant and they might use their "duck" tape to tape your mouth shut....interesting......well duck tape is whats holding up all my post-its that keep falling down......pick a direction ha ha.....i guess post-its are not made to stay attached to a vertical wall permanently.......and the one sticking to my foot  says to research how to price my artwork.....which i have been doing!!! yeah me!!!........so like in the previous post, square inch is popular, along with linear inch (more confusing math terms), and hourly rate......there were some others but that seemed to be the big ones that i saw...........so square inch it is! tadah!...funny...considering that's how i charge for my murals...well square foot......but it took  me that long to come to this big decision....nothing like a little procrastination to start your day, or end it, or start it tomorrow...........well, at least i have a start....now i have to figure out, how to figure out what my materials cost so i can add that in to the square inch price, or add that on as an add on...............this is altogether too much math......i need some duck tape...i wonder if anyone has some next door.....be groovy yall!
