Say hi to the fishies for me, m'kay? And the bracelet? Beautiful...completely. <strong>I won't ask, but big ouch!! I have wetsuit shorts and a neoprene vest, not sure if the water temp requires it. Will take anyway just in case. Yes, I'm bringing lots of sunscreen, my fair skin needs it!</strong> Wear shorts, or better yet lycra nearly to the knee shorts…certain parts of the anatomy float higher on women and a burn where you sit is anything but fun….I speak from experience here.

You are a natural.. you seem to pick it up so effortlessly! Snorkel some for me..K? <strong>Faith, dear.... I think I'm lucky it turned out so well on my first attempt! LOL... did you try forging that piece I gave you on Saturday?? Yes, I will snorkel for you, too! Wish i could take back pictures, but the underwater cheapie cameras are a waste of money and I haven't yet forked out the mega $$$ for a underwater camera case. Would rather own a hydraulic press or soldering torch! Are we both asking Santa for a hydraulic press for Christmas this year?

]]> Comment on Beaded Copper Patina Bracelet by Christine Olson http://featheredfibers.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/beaded-copper-patina-bracelet/#comment-4693 Christine Olson Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:32:36 +0000 http://featheredfibers.wordpress.com/?p=2475#comment-4693 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that bracelet and your pendant!!! About who's to blame? Who will ever really know? Seems many have had a hand in this debacle. However, blame seems to lean more in the direction of those who have the greatest amount of power which often includes a greater amount of wealth. Their greed has promoted more and more deregulation which has enabled the bad apples to spoil the economy for everyone. (Greed is an equal opportunity flaw. It isn't relegated to just one political party.) Pure capitalism on paper seems like a very good thing, just as communism might seem like a pretty good deal ON PAPER! In practice, neither is terribly wonderful! I've had some interesting conversations with DH (a fairly moderate liberal, political science major and news junkie) and a friend (an ultra conservative, ex-military and ex-local politican) about the differences between the two main parties in American politics. The friend is against anything that so much as hints at socialism. I must agree that socialism tends to bring thoughts of Marxism and other dismal socialistic governments. However, DH feels a form of capitalist socialism or democratic socialism is very different and would never become a pure socialism. The conversations are obviously quite lengthy and heated at times but very useful. It still has me wondering...but where do we go from here? Sorry it was so long. You did open the door, though. Right? :D <strong>Right!! Glad to hear from you, Christine! C</strong> LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that bracelet and your pendant!!!
