The fights happen at customer service when people return gifts they don't want. Having no receipt, they're only offered an exchange or in-store credit, instead of cash.

The one thing about tablets/iPad/digital art is that it is very different than sketching/drawing with pencils/paints takes a lot of work to learn/accomplish...I still have billions and billions to learn.

See my galleries in the links in my sig for artwork I've done.

Your works looks great! I used to draw a lot when I was in secondary school, both for art class but also in my own time. I even went to art class for 2 years at the community centre, until my final year in secondary school. I loved drawing portraits and making watercolours.

I've decided to get the Wacom Bamboo Special Edition, to get back into drawing again.

Wonderful! Painter is a lot of fun...that's what I use mostly for my art. ArtRage is pretty amazing and much easier to get a handle on than Painter. Will be looking forward to some of your work! And thanks for the nice comment on mine.

I'm prolonging it. Still watching Christmas movies.

Maybe I'll try they. They stopped the Christmas Music on the Classical station and are playing Opera (ptttooooie!) at the moment.

Well, I took our tree (mini tabletop version) down last night so we could use the dining room table to actually eat on. Still need to take the lights out of the windows but since our Christmas decorating was minimal this year, taking it down won't be much work.
Spent yesterday looking for a way to make my computer screen easier on the eyes. Found one, but it took six hours and a few choice words. (I used WindowBlinds, and I don't want to hear ONE WORD from those of you running Linux who could have done it with a few clicks and no extra software installed, you hear me?).
The rest of today will be spent catching up on housework before work tomorrow.

We had an oldies station that played Christmas music and they're back to normal again. Oh well. Personally, I won't give up on Christmas until after New Years.

Oh no that's sad

Very much not over for us. We still have quite a lot of presents sitting unopened under the tree. Our daughter is so slow at opening them - I think she managed to open 4 on Christmas day and 3 today because she insists on playing with everything for so long. At this rate our presents are going to last the rest of the week!

Just got done cleaning off the cars, steps, driveway. Snow is wet & heavy - packs well - driveable now - but will freeze solid tonight.

Smart kid. She's prolonging the excitement.

I want to visit Norway. It's at the top of my list for countries I want to visit.
