The Coffee Shop / Places I've Been
« on: January 24, 2012, 08:44:04 am »
Places I've Been...
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you
can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be
driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too
much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit
there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the
adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age, I need all the
stimuli I can get!
And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not!
I have been in Deepshit many times. The older I get, the easier it is to get
there.

The Coffee Shop / Police Stop 2 AM
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:22:23 am »
Police Stop - 2:00am
An old man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.
The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."
The officer then asked, "Really?
Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replied,
"That would be my wife."

Wise Words from Edward Jones:
I called my stockbroker and asked him what I should be buying.
He said: "If the current administration is in office much longer, canned
goods, a generator, water and ammunition are your best bet."

Would appreciate any help.

FW: A mature lady gets pulled over for speeding...
*Older Woman**: Is there a problem, Officer?*
*Traffic Cop**: Yes ma'am, I'm afraid you were speeding. *
*Older Woman**: Oh, I see. *
*Traffic Cop**: Can I see your license please? *
*Older Woman**: Well, I would give it to you but I don't have one. *
*Traffic Cop**: Don't have one? *
*Older Woman**: No. I lost it 4 years ago for drunk driving. *
*Traffic Cop**: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration
papers please.
*
*Older Woman**: I can't do that. *
*Traffic Cop**: Why not? *
*Older Woman**: I stole this car. *
*Traffic Cop**: Stole it? *
*Older Woman**: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.*
*Traffic Cop**: You what!? *
**
*Older Woman**: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk
if you want to see *
*The traffic cop looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his
car while calling for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars
circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car,
clasping his half drawn gun. *
*Officer 2**: Ma'am, could you step out of yo**ur vehicle
please!** *
*The woman steps out of her vehicle. *
*Older woman**: Is there a problem sir? *
*Officer 2**: My colleague here tells me that you have stolen
this car and murdered the owner. *
*Older Woman**: Murdered the owner? Are you serious?!*
*Officer 2**: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car,
please.**
*
*The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty
trunk.** *
*Officer 2**: Is this your car, ma'am? *
*Older Woman**: Yes, here are the registration papers. *
*The traffic cop is quite stunned.** *
*Officer 2**: My colleague claims that you do not have a driving
license.
*
*The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and
hands it to the officer. *
*The officer examines the license quizzically. *
*Officer 2**: Thank you ma'am, but I am puzzled, as I was told by
my officer here that you didn't have a license, that you stole
this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner! *
*Older Woman**: Bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding too.

The Coffee Shop / AHAAA!!
« on: January 07, 2012, 03:37:12 pm »
A married couple had been out shopping at the mall for most of the afternoon. Suddenly, the wife realized that her husband had ?disappeared?.
The somewhat irate wife called her mate?s cell phone and demanded: ?Where the hell are you??
Husband: ?Darling, do you remember that jewelery shop where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn?t have money that time and I said, ?Baby, it?ll be yours one day???
Wife, with a smile and blushing: ?Yes, I remember that my Love.?
Husband: ?Well, I?m in the bar next to that shop.?

Introduce Yourself. / Old Dust signs in.
« on: January 02, 2012, 03:20:06 pm »
Hi All.
A Little about me and scrolling.
I'm a 75+ year ol' fa'' in Coolidge AZ.
Most all of my scrolling work I do as a Fund Raiser for the Arizona Lions Clubs Handicapped camp, Camp Tatiyee, located in Lakeside AZ. Over the years I have been doing this I have been able to give them over $34,000.00 to give a weeks FREE camping experience to Arizona Handicapped.
Most of the Fund Raising activity has been doing art/craft shows during the 'winter visitors' season here at various RV Parks/Resorts.
I use to do over 45 shows during that time (Nov - March).
Can't do that anymore.
I also have a display at one of our local Cafe's and give them a flat $5 commission regardless of the 'donated' price on the item.
This past year has been just awful.
Wore out 2 Delta scroll saws and now have a DeWalt 788.
Another way I raise funds is Bar Hopping. I'll take several cuttings and just lay them out on a table while imbibing. Works for me. Best is Fri/Sat after they get a check.
Any questions?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Torch Your Work
« on: January 02, 2012, 09:59:33 am »
Torch Your Work
I normally use a small pencil torch to burn off 'fuzzies' from the back of cuttings.
Then just have to slightly wipe with a 150 grit sandpaper to get all off.
I have noticed that, by doing that burning, I can get some interesting highlighting for the cutting. So I have been torching the front of some cuttings and am pleased with the added art.
Here is my "End Of The Trail" I torched. Note that I also used some 'scrapbooking' paper for a background.
HINT: When torching be sure to keep the torch moving and always have an extinguisher and/or bucket of water nearby if you have to DUNK a flaming piece.
