  1. I'd like to post a few pics of some woodturnings I've done on the hobby thread but they aren't stored anywhere online. I've got them on a disk however, any tips? suggestions? ideas?

  2. Thank you very much guys for the info I requested. I've downloaded 3 songs so far, mostly Stones tunes and one Cocker tune all of which I own already on vinyl.

    Since this venue considers what I did file sharing and so far the courts have agreed, I'll rest well tonight knowing that the cyber cops won't be knocking on my door anytime soon. icon_rolleyes.gif:rolleyes:-->

  3. I've been playing around with Kazaa.com's site and downloaded several tunes that I'd like to put on a cd. I tried to send them to the cd but it says i can't (albiet in different terms).

    Sooooo.....

    My question is, how do I do this?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Mikey

  4. This Saturday, April 12th is the Greasespots Official 3rd Anniversary! icon_smile.gif:)-->

    Many Kudo's to you fine folks who have made this site a safe haven where we can share our experience strength and hope and have together (despite our differences) overcome the oppression that became a way of life for many of us affiliated with that cornfield cult in Ohio.

    As a participant in this place for some time, I have seen lots of tears and laughter, heated debates and arguments and lots n lots of good old B.S. but through it all, somehow, we've managed to get the truth out about the way and by doing so opened the doors of deliverance to thousands.

    My hats off to Paw (and his litle elves too icon_eek.gif) for their patience and fortitude in dealing with all the annoying annoyances that most certainly have been a part of running this site. My hats off to you who have taken the time to write and respond to these threads and most expecially those who opened their lives and hearts to those who were in dire need of a friend with an ear (and heart) to listen.

  5. I like that idea about raising worms, they are quiet, don't require much space and above all work for less than minimum wage icon_biggrin.gif:D-->

    Soap making is an easily learned craft whereby one can turn $10 worth of materials into $30+ worth of goods depending on the local market. Millersoap.com has instructions with lots of different recipies faq's and links.

    Several retired folks that came into the farmers market did so to suppliment their income and have a good time in the process. I am fairly certain a few actually did, it went well and did good for it's first year and most of them are coming back next year. A NC farmer, Alex Hitt grows on 5 acres and does exceptionally well, his info is on the web.

    Residential window cleaning is a good gig too, practice first on you and your friends houses, make sure you know how to avoid knocking over stuff in the home and get some experience taking in and out storm windows (aka SuperWindowMans Kryptonite). I know some cleaners that make REAL good $ doing this (with a couple of years experience and reputation behind them) and as long as the economy is sputtering along like it is there are people who will pay to have this done once or twice a year, Sooooooooo...all you aging RC folks ought to dust off those old squeegies or check out the janitorial section at HD icon_wink.gif;)--> and see what you can come up with icon_biggrin.gif:D-->

    Gutter cleaning, yard work, pet sitting (didn't that already get mentioned?). Oh yeah...simple home repairs. One common complaint I hear (and get requests for) is the difficulty of finding someone to do small simple home repairs. From replacing a piece of sheetrock to painting a closet to hanging and taking back down Xmas lights, homeowners have a hard time finding someone to do these things.

    I own a 150 yr old house and learned quite a bit about plumbing, electricity (it bites icon_eek.gif ) carpentry, roofing restoration work etc so you might have to set down with a pen and paper and try and make a list of what skills you've got and go from there.

    Anyways hope this helps, personally I am going to hang onto what business I have, streamline it some and finish up my education and explore this E.D. position G.O. is having difficulty filling (me thinks a leadership training course this spring may be on the agenda too, twi's consensus thinking and dictatorial edicts did little to help me in this regard)

    Oh yeah almost forgot, there are still grants and such for people who go to college, perhaps taking advantage of this would assist someone upgrade their marketable skills and provide some extra $ for living expenses to boot, might be worth looking into if say one parent is working and the other's been thinking of getting that degree they never got because of involvement with a certain cult...

    Anyways

    Happy Day!!
