That is sooooo true...

We might be doing a California road trip this Christmas vacation (I tried to nudge us all the way to Alburqueque (which I can never spell) 'cause of Friday and a good friend of mine from h2g2 who's been stuck in a care facility there for ages, but alas...) I know @casportpony is in Gilroy, @orrpeople is in Redding (though Tom's wanting to avoid crossing mountains far enough north to worry about snow...), and @perchie.girl is outside San Diego, but I could've sworn that there was someone else near San Diego... Any other pondites either along the coast or pretty darn southern? Tom's thinking of swinging over to Vegas, because we have friends there, and I figure, if we do that, we might as well check out Death Valley, as mid/late December is probably a pretty good time for that... Where would be the best place to go back to the coast from there? Best being extremely unlikely to have to worry about snow on the road (I keep saying we could either actually get chains this year, or just go down 101 and up 1, or vice versa...)? I do have h2g2 friends in Costa Mesa and Koreatown in Hollywood.

Room on the broom is in Vista... between San Diego And Capistrano

Even if not this trip, I'm sure we'll head towards Redding at some point--I'll just have to go along on one of Tom's trips to Bethel. Definitely not in the summer though--it'd cost nearly half of what we paid for the car last year to have functioning AC. I've lived a summer in Redding with no vehicular AC. Not doing it ever again! (What made it even more fun was that Tom and I lived on Olive, near the planetarium, and non-driving me worked at KMart--usually starting the day's work at 4pm. My bus transfer point had no shade (palm trees do not count!)... *realizes that probably no one but orr knows any of those locations...)

When we first moved here, we lived on Chestnut St in a little rental with a jail view from the front porch. Good times.

Definitely a long one! Sheesh, you fit all that on your card?

I haven't printed business cards yet. But I probably won't put that all on my card.

Keep it simple. Name of your business, your name, contact info. And a pick of one of your pendants in the corner...

Yep!

There's a sequel, Fowl Weather, and then one that revolves around his cats instead of his birds called Kitty Cornered.

Now I gotta look for that, lol...

And this is not just limited to FB. Happens here too. I do like to correct people when they are searching for a certain breed, yet spelling the breed name incorrectly. But that goes back the Bard Rocks, Seebrites, Morons, etc.

Oh dang, I'm pretty sure you called me out on my misspelling of the word 'Bielefelder' a few months back. In my defense, I had never heard of them until my mother showed up on my doorstep with 3 dozen of what she called 'Bellfeller' eggs. Obviously, Google was not super helpful in narrowing down the possibilities so BYC was my next stop. But I still belong on this list I suppose

So back in the 90's when they had just started making those printable business cards that peel apart, I made a bunch that just said, "You're not special" and handed them out to anyone who offended me.

Edited to complete this pointless story since I hit 'Post' while typing.

Problem is I don't want to get a business license....

I want to call it "Tea Rose Designs" though If I break down and do it.
Then I have to do a fictitious name search to make sure someone else doesn't have it.... I need to talk to a legal site.

I know for Drafting services key word Services you dont have to have a license... Or you didnt when i used to do it. Paid my mortgage for about six months drafting out of the house.
