Do you know why Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can paintings have made millions?
Because a barely known artist, eating soup every day, to afford his dreams....painted them.
He believed in being an artist, and became as common a name in the world of art as Campbell's Soup was in homes across America.
Never wonder if you have what it takes, only wonder if you are willing to give what it takes.

Relationships and the young

I come across a person on another site that often does posts on relationships, one he said "Men you need to stop lying to women, if they like you, they will lie to themselves for you" He wasn't wrong, crude but not wrong. He did a live feed tonight on relationship advice. I swear, I have never before felt like the "normal " person in the room so much as I did tonight.
One question he was asked though hit home. "What if the person you are in a relationship with does not support your dream, do you give up the person or the dreams" The response, "Give up the person, live for the dream"
I have to say I did not expect that. I must say though , sound advise.
I have to admit for a few years now, if a person interferes, they disappear. It happens quicker and quicker to.
I wish I had achieved that super power in my youth, it could have made a lot of moments a lot easier.
He also said every relationship needs 3 things to succeed, 1. Your Life, 2. their Life, and 3. Your lives together. Makes sense.
I am far from relationship material. As the Snowflake generation would say "Do not wife her" lol. The terminology of the young is mind boggling.
As it turns out, sometimes they really do have the right idea.
So, what would you give up, a person or a dream and why?

Thank you Hackers. Now normal people can't log into anything without verifying themselves from here to eternity. I try to log into my accounts and I need to choose three ways to be verified.......How should we send your verification ID....WTF.....How should we send your verification ID.... Shove it...Yep it is you, you may have access to your account. Isn't a password for verification, now we need two or three more for "safety" then what?
So...for safety reasons, I will no longer enjoy the convenience of a "paperless" system, I will be informing all my beloved associates I must be contacted expensively by paper. Where that is not possible, I will close my accounts.
Our world has become ridiculous.
FYI, I can hack their "safety" precautions.....me....who can't even lof into her own chit... How safe is that?

Earlier this fall, I was working on a bit of kitchen stuff. Her is a quick glimpse, The sink is in now, but the kitchen is not yet done for after photos. It'll get there in its time, but over Holidays everything will be on hold for a while.

The Real World

For those who sit and watch Hollywood drama, court shows, etc. the following is a dose of the real world. On September 8th 2021, I was in an accident, no fault of my own, due to the negligence of others. I have between myself and my insurance paid over $150.000 in medical expenses, surgeries, recovery etc, I lost over $100,000 in wages. Also, needed a staff for quite some time and still do for heavy things.
My insurance company has a lien against any settlement for their costs, The lawyer gets 30%, and the offer was $40,000.
The reasoning is, there is no way to prove which contractor or employee left the trap door uncovered.
I actually had a person who was...{{{{{was}}}}} considered a friend be so bitter at me because I was so stupid, that I wasn't going to press for compensation. She had a law degree and I was an idiot for not listening. Your law degree is for the state you live in, laws are different everywhere. The courts where I live, don't do this stuff. I told you that. I was correct.
Ironically, a criminal in the same state broke a leg while committing a crime and won over 2 million in compensation. Makes complete sense, right ?
I am not caring about the expenses or losses, I am fine, limited, but fine and life is starting over. Every, and I do mean every, expense was paid.....I would have never retired anyway...I get bored
Word to the wise though, personal knowledge may totally trump your degree. So don't get so uppity that you lose people over your supreme knowledge, it may not be as supreme as your ego thinks.

I know we ladies are often told things like, "You are very pretty, why aren't you with someone". This line usually means, "You are cute, are you with anyone?".
I have to respect that. Where I grew up, we called it, 'Sounding The Waters'.
Halloween weekend reminded me why I stay single. I met a wonderful charming fellow, educated, groomed, great conversationalist. Very interesting to say the least. We had done many similar projects in the past. Talked about a few we could do well together with in the future. All around lovely evening.
We met at an event a long way from home. So no worries of "bumping" into each other right? Lol. Wrong. We bumped into each other at a local gas station, when I stopped for coffee. Him, his wife, and four daughters. Later I got a sheepish text, which reminded me to block him . A tip: No one ever casually forgets to mention a spouse.
Funny how it works. Her is your rope, have all the time you need, try not to hang your self.
There is a reason for smiling pretty and walking away more often than not, it is good time management.

Two Glasses of wine in the evening may result in a stroke.
Let her finish off the bottle and you could get much better results.

I have been seeing some heated political blogs. We all have our beliefs and our feelings. sometimes we share them, sometimes we do not. Normally, I try hard not ti get into it all, but I want to pass along some words of wisdom that were shared with me.
Believing in any politician, is roughly equal to thinking the stripper likes you.

So in many situations, I come off as really out going and flirty. It is like a suit I can put on or take off at will. Pissing off people who run about sniffing the clouds all day, might just be a hobby. So I should not be shocked at the words that came out of a friends mouth....."I did not expect you to be like a real lady" Oh the urges I suppressed.
Any way....The sign is one I posted on a decorator site when someone asked, what signs everyone had hanging over their beds. I was sick of reading 'Bless this Home', 'Love Is Forever', etc and so I posted this. Shockingly, I wasn't banned.
The sign did hang over my bed.....for inuendo's sake, I purchased it for my gallery. I thought it made a cool sign for an artists place.
