I feel like the interview went well, I liked the guy who interviewed me; so its’ in the hands of the powers that be. The job I applied for is one that I’m sure I can deal with and excel at, the other jobs I had applied for, not so much. One was off site, [...]

I’ve been out of work for so long, I’m not even a statistic; I wonder how many people out there are like me, that would reflect the real unemployment rate. I have an interview today so hopefully third time will be the charm. eBay rots, I’ll be doing a minimal amount of listing on that [...]

NEW! How People Are Using Twitter
I’m delighted to learn that you can post a link on Twitter, to your eBay auctions by using a web site that compresses the URL so you don’t have a GYNORMOUS link; Twitter, allows 140 characters per post.
Compress the Address
Not really sure why this should excite me, I haven’t [...]

  I haven’t sold anything in a few weeks, I hear many Sellers across the board making the same complaint. What does eBay care, they have over 20 million subscribers. I stopped enjoying eBay over a year ago. They should have left well enough alone, if you go to the discussion boards, they’re loaded with [...]

You can go here for all my family recipes for Zeppole, Struffala and Angenette. My mother lives on through her recipes. Hope they bring you as much comfort and joy as they did our family (and still do).

Did a few silkscreens over the past couple of days but haven’t been to wild about the results. I must say I gave it the old college try. I’m doing gypsy work at best because I’m not set up to do screen process printing. For someone who isn’t set up for it, I did alright. [...]

Pretty Freaky Huh?, originally uploaded by Deadicated.

When all else fails I have to keep reminding myself that I actually have a trade/skills. Yesterday we took a drive up to good ole’ St. Rose to deposit our Amanda back at Hogwarts. We took the Taconic both ways, it’s more scenic; coming home we hit a 40 minute snag. Probably an accident, so [...]
