Beachbum, do not tell tell Cookie. I am driving her nuts. As an irony, I did not think we were all that popular. When I came to the West Coast, in Portland Ore., I was glommed over and I really had no idea why. People actually listened to us here and knew who we were. My wife's lifelong friend was actually a groupie we had thrown off the stage in Portland and had all our albums. Remember those black plastic discs we had to put pennies on the tone arm when it would skip? Well, not thinking, I loudly told everyone there how much we hated playing Portland and all the fans were a little less desireable than nothing at all. I had no idea she had a fixation on me and I crushed her spirit. Well she was ugly and still is and is fixed on herself. What plastic surgeons have done to her is beyond description. SHe was a rich Drs., wife and my wife's best friend and used to fantasize about her and I for years. Oops! Open mouth, insert foot and look like all is well. You got it, do not tell Cookie. She will wake up at three in the morning and go Whoah! Memories.

Well Doc, the world is small and this life is funny, no? Though we have never met, I enjoyed very much the work you did in your previous life and I am now enjoying your current passion. I love this life, I really do, and thank you for adding to my journy at two different "stages".
Peace.
PS - Though I would like to know what member of the band you are, I also understand the issues of identifying yourself on the largest public stage the world has ever known.

When we relocate, this time I am going to give our location. We are looking at Ft. Myers, or Ft. Lauderdale. We will be re-habing an older home to pull us out of this hole and I will have it set up as a workshop. No more living like an hermit. I'm comin out, guns blazing!!! I managed to convince myself my work was overpriced crud and I withdrew from society. I made the ring for the actor in pirates of the Carribean, and dropped out. I tried to hide. I did not do so well however, I still get e-mails from people who came to my shop in Ft Myers Floriduh wanting custom work. I couldn't take it. I literally went out of my way to try to antagonize people away and the more I tried the more they wanted. Johnny came to the fleamarket I was in in full pirate costume with his body guard to try to bring business my way and I felt so embarassed. He got swarmed over, people formed a ring around my booth, the papers wrote a story, my e-mail box filled up. I sold our house and went to LA., and it is starting all over again. Arggggh! And here I go, I wrote another one and I am one more closer to ultimate diety status. Take it away, take it away. Help I am typing and I cannot stop! I need a 12 step typing program. I need social control. I want to be a reclusive unknown eclectic artist who does nothing. I am lost.

hey doc, even though I'm probably not worthy enough to lick the gum stuck to the bottom of your stinking old hippie boots, let me just say one thing...do not fear godhood. You have cats...they'll always find a way to make you feel stupid and inferior.

PS doc, Unless you turn out to be Leonard Cohen, you needn't fear my stalking you. if, however, you ARE leonard cohen, please send me the aforementioned gum from the bottom of your stinking hippie boot. I'll treasure it always (and yes...from time to time...I'll lick it. I'm only human). Of course...he's already a god....so...oh nevermind...

Boy, is that not the case. Just when you figuire you are at peace with Yoda, cats, the leaky toilet, there is one spraying the wall and the other just jumped on the bench and ate the Alexandrite to be set. We have to take the other cats dumps out of the cat box for the female. At least we can find the Alexandrite in a day or two. I love cats. If I had my other computer up, it has pictures of my wife and I with the next door vendors African Serval who grew up in my arms. He was my buddy from 10 weeks to two years. She taught him to hate the hippy and my huggs buddy turned from jumping into my arms and sleeping on my lap, all 45lbs of him, to stalking me all day from his cage and hissing every time he saw me. He was my buddy and it broke my heart.

Hey, I got one up, I did some Alice B Toklas bread cooked by Judy herself. Suite Judy blue eyes. I wasn't really impressed, but my friend threw up on David Crosby and when we went home went through some strangers garage in the middle of the night with his car.. All I could say was Whoah......Like Cool. We left pretty quickly. I told him not to eat that stuff. He was a redneck and wouldn't do anything you smoked. That bread had three lids in it however. He wasn't right in the head, he ate almost he whole loaf and watched his lit cigarette make trails for a long time.

Sweety and I were in our local Artsy movie theater the other night and saw a preview for a movie which chronicled the Trans Canadian Festival Expressway party train ridden by a "who's who" of rockers including Janis, Jimmy, etc.
I believe NRPS was riding as well. Were you on that train?
Peace.

I do not remember the Trans Canadian Expressway. That does not mean I wasn't there, I do not remember an whole lot. That is why I work with addicts and alcoholics today. One of the things that was really wierd, what I do today in jewelery and lapidary arts, before it all started I could see. As time and events dragged out their eternal play, the stones got smaller and smaller. I can remember even in my Corrugated Hotel days I always saw the stones. I just never thought I could ever see for myself their inner beauty. Once the plug was in the jug and a few years of absolute confusion passed, not only could I see the stones but I could see how they might fit in a piece of jewelery. Without the shakes and barking spiders and waving walls, I could read and remember the last sentance. You haven't lived untill you have seen a 12ft barking spider with flame red eyes barking and hiccuping! That was a couple of decades ago and today I can actually make a piece of stone fit into a ring someone has lost the stone out of. life is change.

nooooooooo barking spiders, hiccupping or otherwise, that is just plain hairy scary. they did a movie about those didn't they, terrorizing a shopping mall? you obviously told someone, Doc.
nope, i just don't get on with eight leggidy thingmons, not that i am afraid of them (12 footers maybe i would) i just don't like them ON me. i have a friend that is SO scared of spiders that she can't even be in the same room with one.
i'm like that with bees. some people are like that with snakes. or mice. i knew a guy that was terrified of chickens (bad experience as a child)....we all have our worst fear, some more than others.
i could NEVER do fear factor, KD

It's funny, never had the spider fear thing. Used play with Daddy long legs. Could easily have a turantula for a pet. Mind you, I have a healthy respect for them, but I saw my first black widow last year and was just facinated by it. My husband was behind me about 10 feet holding one of his chefs clogs out sceaming "Kill it, kill it!". Now, 12 foot tall and barking, that's different. The hicups would break the tension, I think cookie

It is not the flaming red thing so much as the waving walls and the noises in my head. I know why people keep looking at me, they hear the noise in my head and it distracts them. It is really funny watching them keep a straight face even though they know what I am thinking. I think what they want to say. Arf arf arf..... I am trying real hard to not eat up my grace posts, but I cannot keep my fingers silent. Help, I am typing and I cannot put the keyboard down. Ghost hand syndrome. Dr. Strangelove, that is it. Have you ever heard a spider hum Bethoven's 9th symphony? It is really wierd. The large bodied ones sing basso and baritone. The daddy long legs sing tenor, and the little itty bitty red ones sing soprano. There are of course a few large bodied ones that do not know which way to fly their sail and they sing tenor. Who ever heard of a large bodied arachnid singing tenor! The mere thought of it makes me want to leave LA immediatly and go to the Bowery. A tenor large bodied arachnid. Gads.

I've looked and looked and cannot find expoxy 330. The children disguised at clerks at Michaels look at me blankly then say things like "I think it's a glue". Yes...thank you...I KNOW it's a glue that's why I ASKED. ahem. I got the same response at home depot too. Would crazy glue work? I think I read that it would but then again, I'd be sick if I wrecked a stone.

Hematite, I used an Elmer's glue called Probond to glue stones to magnets and it worked great. Got mine at Ace, but I imagine you can find it anywhere they sell Elmers. I also use Industrial Strength Craft Adhesive E6000. Can't remember where I got it. Have also used Goop Crafter's Glue. All of these will bond stone to anything and I mean bond it solid. I tried to remove a stone I glued to one of my walking sticks with the Goop glue and forget it. I had to cut that section of the stick out and use the ends for something else. One thing you have to do is wipe the excess off IMMEDIATELY with acetone. The Probond really expands as it cures so probably would not be a good glue for jewelry. I think there's a link somewhere on this thread where you can get the 330. llana
