As a torn boots and big ol' jeans kind of person, I feel we've been teased about jpmac's mysterious "line of work" just about long enough. Benefit of the doubt: I don't think you're a jean and boots imposter; or you're just too good. I run thru my file of things done in my Venerables, and because of scheduling snippets, occaisional earned exhaustion, "managing" your own time, good grip on reality, chortles at our creative efforts, and the satisfied mention of "solvency" ~ I'm guessing, furtively, that you are building your own house. And you have just recvd the "construction wrap" final financing. Or you completed it with the near cash. And that you work with solvents.

So..... Tell us. Are you building a "Little Louse on the Prairie?"
(Or farming mushrooms.)

Eugenia Sheppard

The most important thing women have to do is to stir up the zeal of
women themselves.
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it,
because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up,
and the more we'll have to be reckoned with.
Roseanne Barr

I like to write when I feel spiteful; it's like having a good sneeze.
D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930)
