Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I heard from a little birdie that E-Bearz U will be having a class in learning the HTML needed to build our own basic websites-there will be a section on what's available for the home user on the web THAT'S FREE and by the end we will build our own website using basic HTML.

Imagine that!

So many of us here want to know how to do more, or haven't got a web site and want one, or have one built by a friend and we hate to bug them for updates, or.....

Well it is our turn now to learn through a carefully laid out course the rudiments that will enable us to do for ourselves!

If you haven't taken a class at E-Bearz U may I share with you about the Business Course?

  I took it a year ago Christmas and it was wonderful.  Through the step by step course I was able to create a business plan, and stick to it, and double my out put and triple my incoming....because I had clear-cut identifiable goals to achieve,  I loved the class and felt it really benefitted my "business."

So I for one plan on taking the HTML for D... course......

[size=18]Nonono  shame on you; not Dummies you sillykins,[/size]

[size=18]I hope to see some of you there who have been wanting to do their own website....
You know who you are..... :crackup: [/size]

I have absolutely no doubt that by the end even Dilu will understand the rudimentary basics and will be quite excited to do a new website.  I love the one I have but don't know how to update it, its time to take control!

I understand the course will start sometime in April-May?????

I can hardly wait to learn something neat, new and oh so useful!

Shelli I would say about $30-$40....and they make me laugh!  How cute, fun and whimsical they are....

And everyone is always telling me that I price stuff too low....but I figure if it doesn't sell perhaps I expected too much?

I figure out to the penny what it cost me to make and then I double it..this is on the little gollies, which take longer than your imps, but not that much longer......

I like the third from the left in blue.....who's to say why.....but she sings to me.....I think they will sell though, they are so totaly different and so totaly you!

But no, you don't look like your imps.....or........

Everything Aleta and Chrissi said goes for me too-but this caveat;

your imps will be appealing to a smaller crowd than the teddies who will be wanted by everyone! 

Kind of like gollies-not that many people want gollies, so hang in there
don't get disappointed if they don't sell the way I think they should....it take time with some little ones who are off the wall a little different...

PS.    If blue kittycat lady doesn't sell in Nevada, let me know..... :hug:

best wishes my ladyfriend.....you'll do well, but most importantly....please remember to relax and have a wonderful time!

Stephanie says she can guarantee we wont be dissappointed and that it works great!

I know many of us have complained about stretching- so wanted to share the link with those who may not have known about it

dilu

OH! Isn't it lovely?

How nice, I am very happy for you~!

Awwww Bobbie,

There is no such thing as bad fabric or bad yarn-there is always the next project that something will be perfect for.  I am sorry you met up with someone who deosn't play nicely in the sandbox....some people can be so unreasonable, and others will out right lie.

I think you are a really great stand up gal to refund everything!

Talk about going above and beyond for a nasty buyer....your are tops in my e-bay book

Sweet dreams-you did the very best you could-no one could have done better

I find it interesting in our Politically Correct world that spent the last 35 years teaching kids in school that they are wonderful, can do no wrong, and that there are no consequences for just plain bad behavior that the teachers and principle have thrown up their hands and said essentially that they just do not know what to do.

How about suspending the little rugrats for really poor control and abuse of the girl?  How happy will their parents be having to stay home from work?

The families and authorities need to remember that your daughter is not the culprit, not the cause and not at fault.

She is, in current parlance, the victim!

Your daughter should not have to hide in the bathroom nor should she have to put up with abuse.  If the ADULTS are not willing to take the responsibility that they get paid for then you must.

Were it my family, i would file cease and desist papers through the courts including the boys and their families as well as the school authorities and the aurthorities over the authorities.  If it happens again I would file a  civil law suit and as well as police charges, assault and battery for the boys and their families and neglet and child abuse for the teachers and school authorities.

It seems the only things that matter and make people pay attention is something or someone threatening their bank account....perhaps if the school administrators recognized a law suit could be quite expensive and the parents recognized that they were going to loose money not working to take care of the problem, not to mention compensatory civil suit charges  which could be rather expensive they will finally take charge, remember who the adult is and tell the little hooligans how the cow eats the cabbage!

And it wouldn't hurt one mite if this child of yours  knew how to do a takedown, and imagine how the boys would feel if they were taken down safely by a well trained GIRL~! 

And honey, if it is like this at 6 what on earth has she to look forward to in this overly permissive western society of ours?

She really does need to know how to protect herself.

It will to wonders for her self esteem too, to know that she no longer has to be afraid or hide in the bathroom.

When my hubby was a school teacher, very very very briefly, i would end up taking calls from mothers who were irate over on thing or another

To which i would say that I was terribly sorry, I understood better now, her son was an orphan.

Yes, frequently my sarcasm was not understood, but what the hay, its not always understood here either. :crackup:

Best wishes to your daughter, I hope you can get it sorted out soon

hugs
dilu

Congratulations Chrissie....how fun !

You get to spoil her rotten and then hand her back when she.......

:hug: I promise you that there is life after puberty

both hers and yours....and it gets wonderful somewhere between 20 and 30.....this age-15-18 is the worst...

but remember she is doing what she is supposed to do-she is asserting her independance, cutting the invisible umbilical cord, becoming her own woman.....

however she hasn't the knowledge base to know what is safe or not safe as she does these things.

Blessings on you dear Mom....

Now is when you have to trust that she has remembered enough of the foundations you and her dad have taught her so that she doesn't go completly off the deep end.

she'll be back...Hang in there....say a prayer.....

hughughug.....really big gollyhugs......

dilu

Hooray to Louise and Dear Garnet!!!

Congratulations, you diamond in the rough, you!  Fantastic. Beven better is that you two have been through the wars together and still fight on, together, wherever you go!

Best wishes on the new job Sir Garnet!  hope you enjoy it to the hilt.

He isn't poopie at all, but he seems to lack that joie de vive that your others have....he may need a little revamping?  Or perhaps a little patience?

Don't forget, if he hasn't sold the right person hasn't seen him yet.

Your little guys are just so cute....

I  pull the non sellers and put them away where I can't see them-and leave them for a month or so, and then frequently when I take them back out It hits me exactly whqt I need to do.......

I certainly wouldn't give up on him, all your little guys are so full of fun and potential.....

hugs :hug: dilu

Oh Jane, honey, you have had your share for at least 10 years, I pray you are spared from further health woes in your family!  And your pupster IS part of your family.

I figure God wouldn't have created our fur babies if He hadn't expected us to love them and domesticate them and count on them for loving and love.....

thank heavens things turned out all right!

gollyslobberkisses...pas the paper towels

dilu

Awww Sarah -thats way too young to loose your mom.....but I'm betting your kids wont loose theirs.....

I can't tell any of you to do this, but i have trained my self to think of this as step one while calling the paramedics, and that would be simply taking a baby aspirine.....it helps thin the blood just a little to help cut down on the clotting....

It is step one because we are 30 minutes from paramedics and an hour and a half from a hospital....

For far too long at least in American Medicine women have been the overlooked sex.

Excepting reproductive issues there isn't the understanding of how a woman's body reacts that there is for a mans body...

And you know what?  We really are different....on so many levels, and especially in our medical care needs.

And as difficult as men can be getting them to a doctor, we really are actually worse!

We have to clean the stove, make the beds and water the dog before we worry about what our body is telling us-

If we would learn to listen to the subtle changes we could frequently avoid the major catastorphies

Than you for posting this, Miss DebbieD, food for thought for all us gals

its about 10pm back where you are......soooo...........???

Aww Judikins,

that's why I love you so-you are so gentle and yet so positive...no matter the adversity

We are a couple of very lucky ladies

Wow, first time out of the shoot and look at you go!  WOW!  Its so easy to read, not too busy soothing colors and i am impressed....

Course i'm easy, but honey you still did a great job, and i hope I can do as good as you!

Maybe half as good as you will be OK.

hugs
dilu

My dad always felt like he could do better, but he was able to let go and not obsess on the current work.....and bless his heart he never had any trouble kissing everything goodbye when it sold....

Maybe it was because he had been doing it so long, but by the time I knew him he seemed like the creating was the joy and once completed (to the best of his ability) he had no more thoughts or cares about it.

He did like getting screen credits and

money

for his "work"

i wish he were still here, i would ask him how he feels.

i did ask him if it bothered him to see the paintings go out the door;

"Well Lassie, we can't keep them all now can we?  You seem to like to spend the money they bring in."

Hmmmm

He certainly had a good grasp on that concept!

:crackup:

Oh Matilda!  Photography!!!!

Black fabric sucks the light right out of the room...the light tent is really too small for the tall gals....I took 450 pictures the other day

all the livelong darn old day

I really need a new card....this one only holds 12 piccys....how crazy making is that?!

A special lady sent me this; it sounds like it could apply to a lot of us:

She read it in a magazine:  "Cloth Paper Scissors"

"Remind myself to "get out of my own way".  I am often my worst enemy, as I have a tendency to over-think and analyze my work, sometimes to the point of paralysis.   .....issue of trusting that I know enough of the basics to just let go and allow the creative spirit to take hold."

Ok ladies, back to work----and for me taking pictures IS work,

we CAN do this

I think

No, I believe

Ellen;  hoping and praying Mom is doing better?

Kassie-you're a love-thank you

dilu signing off at 4:30 am-no wonder I am tired, sigh...
