Why? I can't get rid of it, and it's never made me any money!

Thanks, Ron!

Why would you want to get rid of it?
And as you well know, there are more important things than money.😉

Exactly.

Barbara's pasta is a lot more important than a ten dollar bill.

I have three episodes left of Luke Cage to watch on Netfliks. That's worth my penny jar, which I was going to donate to research to find a cure for smugness.

And fifty bucks says I can learn the beginning of Stairway to Heaven on my 12-string before I run out of time.

Money? Eh. With more time, you can always make more money.

I'm late for my medications, obviously.

I remain broke and deliriously happy.

Something to consider.

Am I playing to the crowd? Definitely!

Hi Larry:

1.) Open Xara and set the page size to US Letter, Portrait.

2.) Type the phrase.

3.) Go get T-shirt transfer paper.

4.) Come back home, and then put the transfer paper in the inkjet, and print a copy.

5.) Go ask Mom for her iron. If she brings you a nine iron, tell her that's the wrong kind.

6.) Find a surface you can apply heat to that won't burn down the place.

6.) Apply the iron's heat evenly to the design. This s called ironing, and people used to practice it before permanent press was invented.

7.) Allow the shirt to cool, and then carefully peel the transfer off the T-shirt.

8.) Proudly wear it, and when you spill food on it, turn it inside out and wash on delicate settings and the lowest dryer settings or air dry.

Thank you Gare. Actually I have done that before. I designed my own T-shirt and also used the same design on a bag to carry my art supplies in for a class I was taking They came out well except the T-shirt image came out a bit off center.. The design wasn't anything special merely one of my favorite paintings.

When you exceed 55 years per life (!), you start waxing nostalgic about "The Days"...which probably weren't all that good to begin with.

I was in a semi-pro band when I was about 20; we toured and I was still an artist at heart, took my degrees in Advertising Design.

Which made me really resent the non-artist who'd put up signs in local watering holes to advertise us.

So in my "Glory Days" scrapbook, I redid an especially important and (originally) poorly done poster:





Remember idiotic hair styles and polyester Hawaiian shirts? :)

I'm sorry we don't play today, because there's no smoking just about everywhere. My bass amp had two rings around the speakers because speakers "breathe" in and out to produce sound waves.

I had to replace the grille clothe and have the enclosure checked for tumors before I sold it.

Who needs a 450W bass amp when you're over 20, even in the basement?

Very cool Gare! Which one is you?

I still sing in our church choir but because of my eyes it's getting more difficult because I cannot see the notes and words at the same time. Actually after my brain hemorrhage it has taken me many years to get get back some of what I had.

Sort of the same thing with my eyes and controlling my hands and doing any artwork, but then I never was as creative as you. I was just good at delineating and painting which I really miss.
