I have to borrow a computer. <BR/><BR/>Although you can get Firefox to announce to the world that it is IE, and that fixes a surprising number of things. Apparently a lot of sites won't work if they think you aren't using IE even if they are actually perfectly compatible with Firefox.<BR/><BR/>One of the online trainings I did this week said that it worked with Firefox, and I got very excited that it didn't require IE.

I finally got one... after years of begging. but those black sheets with the pattern were such a rip off that I just about never got any patterns... I preferred to just use black construction paper.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to clarify... it wasn't 'getting' the school supplies that was so much fun... it was the potential of the school supplies. whole worlds could be created with such things. i loved that. i was always the kid who wanted art supplies for gifts (I figured the litebright counted as art when I was pretty small).<BR/><BR/>Anyone remember the joy of opening a new pack of those jumbo sniffable markers? brown was cinnamon, red was cherry, I think black was licorice and dark green was pine?, dark blue was blueberry, yellow was lemon, light green was mint, orange was predictable, and light blue and pink were my favourites, melon and something else. I loved those markers... still have a few.

It was very cool. Very dust collecting things however less you covered them in clear boxes. <BR/><BR/>I always wanted an easy bake; mom said no so one night I went into the kitchen and tried making popcorn (the old fashioned way we used to have to make it in hot grease) but not before the grease caught fire in the pan; then I ran to the sink for water & you all know what happened next... my mom wasn't home that night; the fire dept. came; next thing you know I was being picked up by the police because it was like midnight and I was alone at 10yrs old. It was cool though; my grammy & grampa picked me up & I got McDonalds for dinner! <BR/><BR/><BR/>That Christmas; I got an easy bake oven. We never did get the smoke stains all the way off the kitchen ceiling...

I even got the one with the weight on the bottom (boring) but the best ones were when I learned to draw whatever shape I wanted free hand then put all the tiny dots around the edges & create my own designs with a ruler. Then I'd sit for hours & color in all the little & big spaces with colored pencils. Cool, psychodelic colors. And space tape. And new school supplies. My favorite thing was to stare at the blank page & practice all my different forms of calligraphy trying to decide which form I wanted to use that year. I could always tell what year my old school work was from that way. Don't have any of it now *it's all been replaced with Daughters works*. I still do calligraphy but on a much larger scale. In my archives on my blog you can find some pieces that were all transcribed into Irish Gaelic by me using the Irish Insular designs. Come to think about it; no wonder I loved doing my own spiro designs; that's rather how you start Celtic knotwork designs too.Stacy Hurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590531650763481027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-7265626901548927282008-11-06T17:51:00.000-08:002008-11-06T17:51:00.000-08:00I don't think we ever had easy bake ovens here.
