Unfortunately sneakers too big would rub and make it worse. Since there aren't any on the bottom of my feet sandals work best. 3-4 of the blisters on each foot are larger than a quarter - not like usual blisters.

Too bad there are no bites on the RV yet. They are all the rage here in Florida and it looks like it is in great shape so hopefully someone will buy it soon.

It is amazing that Sadie is 11 now - so is Justice. They enhance our lives so much while they are with us but theirs pass quickly. Quality of life is definitely the focus at this point.

118.6. Holding pretty steady but Milk Duds were consumed today, so we will see!

I've been consistent with water aerobics which is one reason I think my weight has been steady! I really enjoy it!

Signed my vendor contract today and got all my questions answered. We will start setting up this coming week with an official opening date of March 1st.

Liz, your blisters sound miserable! I'm so sorry you are going through this!

I am an independent vendor but they do have store wide sales, usually once a month I guess. Vendors can opt out of the sale which is good. I'll see how much it cuts into my profit!

Fingers crossed that one of the inquiries regarding the RV becomes a sale for you!

Hope your Dad visit went well!

Nice to see you posting Ocean Diane! Sorry about Sadie. So hard when our fur babies get old and feeble. Emma dog is 14 3/4 and Bella is just over 14. Bella is still pretty spy but Emma is a little old lady!

Greetings all

It is cloudy and windy today and there are the usual beach warnings. I suspect the rain will begin soon and it is supposed to be a lot. So I went to the gym and did my walk and then the studio for glazing. The place is now so popular that there is barely any place to park. Across the street is a no parking zone but one of our board members is on the city council so maybe we can get it changed. I think it is no parking because they don't want people in vans parking over night.

Liz my feet hurt for you! I suggest Claritin which I take every day for allergies (dust and pollen I think) as it is non drowsy. I was googling nickel allergy and saw that there is a Reddit group for people with the allergy that you might check out. They said avocados and some grains are also bad. Who knew? Anyway, we hope you get some relief. And go for the lift. Why not?

CC dining out is always an issue for all of us. Restaurants = too much food. Good that the weather is nice and you can be outside as much as you choose.

Hello Ocean Diane!! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear that Sadie is ailing. The steps that CC suggested look good. We never could get our old dogs to use a ramp either but they were not too hard to lift. Any paddling? Enjoy your trip to pac northwest.

Peps glad the teaching day was good in spite of technical issues. Tee hee that the woman did not recognize you!! Hope the RV sells soon. To sell a house you are supposed to bury the St. Anthony statue but I am not sure if there is a patron saint of RV sales.

Lordy do I need a new hair do. My hair has become what they used to call "fly away" and sticks out all over the place. This never was an issue for the younger me. First world problems.

Diane S

Well Paula you had better look at that contract pretty closely. In a consignment situation you always own your stuff until they sell it as your agent and therefore you have control of all pricing. Our gallery is totally consignment. Customers sometimes ask for discounts and we tell them that each artist sets prices and we have no authority to discount. The only discount we have is if one member or their family buys the art of another member. A 20% discount is given which is effectively the gallery forgoing its 20% commission and the artist gets her usual 80%. So look at the contract carefully. If this store wants to forgo its own commission then that is fine but it does not look like the numbers work. At a minimum the contract should limit how often they do this. If it is more than a couple of days a year I would say pass. It is amazing how often people want to bargain over a piece of art. Nobody does that at the hardware store or most other retail.
