- @CleanerLife One day at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day and all those other cliches. You can do it! :)
-
- @CleanerLife Great! Was hoping all your lens issues would be resolved so you could make it this round. Very happy for you! :D
-
- @CleanerLife how are you? haven't seen you around much, did you make Giant? :)
-
- @CleanerLife No, not when gas is nearly $4/gal. The pay is averaging about $10/hr before taxes. Discouraging sometimes. :/

- Getting lots of demo job notices, all about 100 miles away. I filled in the zip codes I work in, are these the only things available? *sigh*

- @Noadi Very nice pics, did you sell a lot of stuff? Was it judged? Did you win? :)
