h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, now I'll quit being so mysterious

The business I needed to get licensed for is making these: http://www.disciplescross.com You can either sell back to the company or sell them on your own (which is more profitable) And that's why I wanted to wait to give any details--99.99...% of home assembly jobs are scams, and I didn't want to deal with those that would assume that this is, too. Or those that would say that since there's a selling element, that I'd not do well. (I'm including myself among the naysayers, btw.)

But I have just wholesaled a dozen to a small christian bookstore, and retailed 4 to a friend that I thought was just going to buy 1, so I've made $100 yesterday and today. And I've got a display at my church's bookstore--the bookstore didn't buy them, I've just got counter space, but that means I'll get $10 each instead of $5 (or even the $7.50 I'd get to keep if I had them on consignment).Laurie doesn't charge sales tax on stuff that people are selling through the church bookstore, so I'm not going to be reimbursed for the $.77 each, but $9.23 is still more than $5 or $7.50.

So yes, I'm happy

Congratulations sweetheart, they do look pretty, I'm sure you'll sell shiploads

Pity, I don't think they'd suit me good news its working out, I remember you talking of this on the phone last time we talked

Actually, they suit guys, too. Well, maybe not the pink, magenta, purple or lavendar ones...

Pink is really quite my colour well, it'd stand out against my black shirts and black jeans

Well done you!

I have a secret affection for pink, magenta, and lavender.

But lagoon blue is the surest way to my heart.

I like purple a lot, but rarely wear it anymore as I end up looking silly by wearing blue jeans and purple shirt

Why don't you just wear white jeans instead?

I know 2 guys who wear purple shirts, they both look great.

I'm so glad this is going well for you - I hope it continues to do so well!

My dear Amy, big

I am soooo thrilled that you have found something that you can do at home whilst caring for Faith. It really is wonderful and is, I am sure, the answer to prayer.

I wish you every success in your endeavours.

Much affection to the three of you.

Um, how big are these crosses?

Read the FAQ and see the picture!

About yea big by so big...

Waddaya mean, you can't see my fingers? I'm holding them right in front of the screen... I suppose holding up the one I kept for myself wouldn't help either?

Okay, never mind.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot else to talk about in this thread, so I may have to topic-drift like crazy.

We're getting rain up the gazoo here in Boston today.

'bout that Paul--I was in a mood last night...

They're about 1 1/2" by 1",with an adjustable cord, so you can wear one as a choker or as a longer necklace. http://www.disciplescross.com/images/assets/johnraymond.jpg gives a rough idea of the size

It's okay, Amy. Go ahead and be in a silly mood.

My lawn is drowning, and my front walk is under six inches of water. I have Hungarian goulash simmering on the stove. When it finishes simmering, I have to take off my shoes and socks, go outside, and wade through the water to turn off the LPG tank that feeds gas into my stove. I am not looking forward to this, even though it's not terribly unpleasant.

My ankle doesn't hurt nearly as much as it did Sunday, tyhanks to ibuprofen, an ankle support, and a crutch. I just wish I could get out more.
