  3. Bless all your hearts. You all are a testament to strength and courage, though some days you may not feel like you are, I know you are. I will continue to pray for you all. Dear mothers, may I ask something from you? Please, please I ask of you, pray for "Kim," who lost her 16 month old tragically less than a month ago. Only you know how deeply she and her husband and family grieve, and need your prayers right now.)

  7. I found these particular statements from Judith McGrath on the mark: If you have talent and choose to remain in your own hometown, it's assumed you're not good enough to make it "out there.” If you do leave, make good and don't return, you're accused of being ashamed of your heritage. If you go, "out there,” make it big and come back the celebrity, you're showing off. I can't figure it out. – Judith McGrath Why do we pay top dollar to see an aging British rock star stomp across a weirdly lit stage, and ignore the local songster who puts on a free show in the park under the stars? Why

    Van Gogh

    Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime. Does the fact that the paintings weren't sold in his lifetime detract from their value? Not at all - you know the prices his work is selling for today. Consider art as a gift to the future - as are books, for example. They are a legacy to pass on. Sharon Specht, McGregor, IA, USA
  11. What most people know about art is what meets them upon entering a gallery, paintings with big price tags. There is a reason behind that, the gallery owner must keep the gallery doors open. Overhead, advertising and salary needs must be met, and artists must be paid a fair price for their pieces of work. This requires gallery owners to hike the price of a piece of art in order to take their 50% commission and keep their gallery open. No mystery here. Unless you like paying double for original art, purchase pieces for your collection directly from the artist of your choice. Huge sa
  12. Why Buy Fine Art Your home should be filled with unique and special items significant and inspirational to you. Art gives space life, and sets moods. Owning original art assures no one else will have the same piece in their home that you do. Original fine art is an investment. It can be passed down for generations, grows in value. In a hundred years when store bought decorator prints are long discarded, original art will still be fresh and new and more valuable than the day it was purchased. Many of the great artists of yesteryear were starving artists. Their work was under
  13. I was at The Playground of Dreams when a helicopter took off from a pad behind there about that time. Must be the same one. I couldn't read the markings, but it was blue and white.
  14. It was a real miracle that I figured back last week how to do something. I just messed around and it worked, but all this computer-jargon is still just like gibberish to me, so I don't know what you are talking about, but if it is a good thing, great!!!
  15. I hope if true we learn something about this. I don't want this in my head today thinking about itall day and being worried sick.
  16. Heartfelt thoughts and prayer for the family.
  17. Doesn't matter about family background, it comes down to a choice. Some learn by example, but still they know it is wrong. Some do out of just plain meaness. Regardless, something very wrong with people who want to do wrong, and derive pleasure from it.
  18. We on here are contributing to spreading the news about this situation. Oftentimes it helps to let the community know, someone might come forward if they knew about this and saw something they were not sure of, it might help get those responsible locked up. However, if too much information out right now poses a threat to other family members or hinders the authorities, then perhaps we need to close this thread.
  19. I am absolutely mortified. Prayers for the victim and his family. So horrifying he was there with no one to take up for him, beaten to an inch of his life, and left like that. Prayer, prayer, prayer. Please let's keep this thread up, and any information about this situation posted straight away.
