I can't read them either! I am hoping it's part of an update and will resolve but if it's not, I would like to know. Browser compatibility problem? I've tried Chrome and IE. My thank too!

It will be in my garage, so noise is not a problem. (I hope...lol) I want to start with glass and I'm looking into alternatives to buying the more expensive grits. Hope to start my first batch tomorrow, so excited!
Can you post a picture? I'm was an old radio DJ for many years, I'd love to see it!
TUMBLED GLASS JEWELRY! I just got a Rock Tumbler for my birthday. I am uber-excited to so some tumbled recycled glass. I started a thread in case anyone here has done this before and can offer some experienced based tips!
Thanks!
My latest passion is recycled glass jewelry. I've been saving wine and other pretty bottles for other projects. Now I want to break up some pretty colors and make tumbled glass.
Has anyone done this here? I'd love to get some tips and idea's...anything, really.
Huge disappointment. Sure, great cinematography, dress, even singing ... but I recently read the book. It was a HARD read and I'm a prolific reader, but it gave much better back story and character development and answered so many questions the movie just left hanging. My husband says there is another non-musical version that is much better. I look forward to seeing that.
Krista - find a writers conference! The block will dissipate in no time. There are also writers groups with mutual trust. I am looking for a writers group that offers a random subject each month rather than just focusing on my book, which is sadly neglected.
Also for blocks I HIGHLY recommend Larry Brooks, Deconstructing a story (online: Storeyfix). He has the exact formula for a best seller based on block buster movies! It's up to the writer to decide which rules to follow... or break, but it really gets you thinking hard about plot points, etc. Great guy!
Good luck!

Wow, Essex Debs, thanks. I'm very interested. Us/UK would be difficult, so double thanks for taking it on!
I will absolutely look into seed swapping. I've been collecting heirloom seeds and seed saving for a few years now... NOT the stuff you get at WalMart, lol.
I had no idea there was seed swapping out there until now. Thanks.
Bondage????? 50 shades of LOL @ Krista

I"d be happy to offer an opinion on the first 2,000 words. If you can't catch a reader by then, you'll need to re-vamp. But, that is just part of the process.
Do NOT post here.... email me at ravenstrove@yahoo.com. Your work, even your concept should be a tightly held secret. I offer willingly that I have no rights to whatever email you send me. (Public disclosure for your benefit. Be sure to save a screenshot of this.)
Give them lots and lots of cornmeal around their home. They can not digest it and they take it home for everyone to share. Buh-bye.
There are also some natural plants that ants do not like. The plants that they hate are Lavender, Mints, Pennyroyal, Tansy and Curry herbs. They hate the smell of lavender so even cutting a few sprigs and laying them by the doorways might help.
Finally, Watch out for Aphids. Be sure you have lots of lady bugs around! You can order them online. Ants, harvest Aphids and re-plant the eggs every year. Lady bugs LOVE eating aphids. Take into account the cost of spraying aphids V buying lady bugs and order around 3,000- 2-3 times a year until they start sticking around. This has been very successful for me!
I had my eyeliner tattooed on. Wake up in Make up! LOVE IT! (lol)
@ Laura: This is a tutorial I did on making seed/plantable paper. I may help a bit:
