sorry about it being sideways but i am still getting the knack of posting pictures here....(sad grin).....computers were always science fiction to me before.

You can buy individual sheets from Color Factory. Not sure if they ship, but I imagine they would.

Yup. Free. As in no charge! I just went to their website to make sure it hadn't changed. Register as a business in the Architechts and Designers area. Then click on order color sheets. They're not 18", though - it varies by paint type and color collection. This is from the website: Benjamin Moore Classic ColorsTM Collection -- 3" x 5" or 5" x 9" sheets Color Preview® system -- 8" x 8" sheets Studio Finishes® Collection -- 8" x 8" sheets Affinity Collection -- 6" x 9" sheets Having larger samples to look at makes it much easier to view a color and that way I don't have to buy all those quarts anymore. At the very least, it helps me narrow things down so I only buy a couple instead of 6 or 7! Here is a link that might be useful: Ben Mo - Architects and Designers

Some folks paying that high interest on those credit card debts may not have seen this, last time around. I'm wondering how much of a reduction they might have been able to achieve with the store-issued card people - that usually charge 25 - 28%. Unless the stuff that you bought is tax-deductible ... that interest must be paid with after-tax income, folks. If you're in 20% tax bracket, it means that when you earn $5.00, you pay tax of $1.00 and have $4.00 left to buy things. So if your interest rate is 28%, divide that by 4 to get 7, then add the 7 to the 28 to make 35. You earn $35.00, pay $7.00 tax and have $28.00 on hand to pay that interest on $100. purchase (suppose you were dealing with a year, but you must pay some monthly ... but usually the required amount is only slightly above the amount of interest added that month). Which means that if you pay only minimum monthly, or slightly more ... ... that bill will run (almost) forever. Oh - you figure to die before "forever"? Right ... most of us do, don't we? Good wishes for paying your non-deductible debts down quickly (and probably the deductible ones, as well). ole joyful
