Stained Glass & Mosaics

Flight of the Taurus

This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands and don't want to cut plates til you get your saw! You track it every hour....(ok..and the 2nd glass of wine might have had something to do with it, lol!)

It has now left Illinois and I'm suppose to get it on the 10th!

LOL @Cindiloo. I watched my tools come across the states too. Was sort of fun and frustrating too. They were all delivered the same day from two different companies. Tracking said they were just arriving in Boise right up until they were delivered here, 100 miles away. So it might come sooner than expected.

Keep us posted.

Hi Guys...just a pop in to see what's what! Just got back from grocery shopping and can't dally. Marian...you gotta stop saying "As Ei always says...I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer"...They're gonna think I was saying it about you, when it was about me! LOL! :-) If you want to know just how dull this old knife is...the whole name thing went completely over my head...must have missed the original post about it. Kept reading later references, but didn't know what the heck they were talking about. Glad V gave you a new perspective. Now that I know what everyone is talking about, I think that V is right. :-) And absolutely you know that you are much admired and okay, I'll say it "loved" and can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt or insult you. So please don't go away - Think Chelone said it best and you *would* be missed *way* too much. LOL Sue...loved your song...hope you have a great Christmas party you little girly girl! :-) T - thanks for the compliments last night. See you've been working on my time schedule these days! BTW, I could so see you as a comedian *and* a writer. I still get a chuckle when I think about that story you told about your mom at the DMV. Eden...loved the snowman gift! LOL! Now I know just what to get my brother for Christmas this year! :-) Have a great day all...Ei

Hey cyn - just before I posted my answer last night, Detroit PBS had their night sky guys on - sorry,I need to pay more attention to who they are....anyway, they were talking about what is in the early Feb. night sky, and Orion of course figures prominently in this longitude. They showed the stars in the belt, and then also his sword. Very cool, again 3 bright stars but one never seems in focus, because it is actually a huge nebula many times the size of our milky way. I wish I'd taken more on this when I was younger. Thanks again for that question. Nancy.

Don't you feel any pressure to Buy American??
Q
Comments (52)
NO. I think the same way as ebse - my husband and i slog it out to make money, get no benefits for being responsible with money, just keep seeing our taxes shooting up and up as a reward for our hard work. So, I buy the best value for my money. I hate my old GE profile cook top and am waiting to get rid of it. My fridge is a sub-zero and pretty much every thing else in my kitchen is not american. BTW/ we have never owned an American car - but, our last european car was manufactured in South Carolina - so maybe that is not true, after all. I am american, but have worked for 12 years in a Japanese semi conductor company with huge operations and thousands of american employees in California. So, what is American and what is non-american anymore? This is a global economy whether we like it or not. So, I am always happy to buy the best quality for my money without any pressure to buy american. If some american companies suffer (especially in the auto sector), it is not because of our lack of support, it is because of the poor business strategies - and anyway, Congress is always there to bail them out with my tax $$$$. So, no worries, I am supporting them by working hard to pay my taxes :)

Anyone drive a Mazda 5?
Q
Comments (19)
Close to 2 years ago now, when my neighbor and I were both looking for new cars, we test drove a few Mazdas, including the 5. My neighbor (whose van was totaled) wanted something that would still let her haul gardening stuff -- many bags of mulch, flats of flowers, etc. She did like the 5 when she took it for a test drive herself. Once someone was in the passenger seat, it felt too tight, both in elbow room and head room. We both like a little more "air" over our heads. I don't see too many on the road, either: I think the 5 is just a mini-minivan -- and that people looking for that extra space just go with a traditional minivan. She ended up buying the CX9. She doesn't like it so much anymore -- the handling, the road noise. Road noise seems to be a problem throughout the Mazda line, I learned when I was researching for my new car (test drove the Mazda 3, 6, CX7; bought a Hyundai wagon instead). Concerning your height, there are so many vehicles now that have the seat height adjustment (either standard or as part of an optional pkg), and that will give you a better view of the road and a better handle for parking spaces. (And I agree with the concern that the dealership is so far from you.)

How funny!!! I was so scared of my taurus when I got it!! It sat in its box for a few months. I was very new to glass at that time! When I did open it and started using it I could've kicked myself in the fannie!! It was so easy to use and I just love it!!!

Im still waiting for a mosaic book that got shipped on Dec 13th and the site I got it from wont consider it LOST until after 30 days!!! It sucks waiting!!!
