On lightening loads...

[femkes_follies]

I have now officially cut my ties to the textile guild. Which was really more of a dysfunctional household, anyway. I cannot abide back room deals, private e-mail campaigns, sniping, whining, whinging, and carrying on behind the backs and out of the sight of the general membership. It's ludicrous, unethical, stupid, and I won't be a party to it any more.

Shedding the responsibility, the worry about its reputation vs my reputation, the feeling of obligation to participate in group projects no matter how stupid I may find them creates a delightful sense of freedom that goes well with this sunshine-y day. It's Spring. (Well almost). Time for a new dawn. I have things to do for ME that do not involve coddling fragile little egos that want to be told what they want to hear rather than the truth. I had stayed subscribed to the E-group for just a while afterward, then thought better of it and just disconnected myself entirely. Better to not have any idea what's being said about me now, and thereby not even be tempted to answer back.

This also frees up a fair amount of time in my schedule (yeah, me!).

I will have to talk things over with Lisa regarding Joomla! Since we share the domain name, I'm not sure I can use it for just MY pages. And I certainly don't want to screw hers up. Though, on the upside, Joomla! does allow you to disable both right-click and Ctrl-C copy. And has a variety of picture gallery formats to choose from. I'd also like to figure out if there is a template generator that people use that they're happy with.

Finish the Noord-Holland dress, and post it on my page.

Compile the Fries research and start THAT outfit.

Continue to try to source supplies for the Sooper Seekrit Projekt.

Projects should be fun, as should the people you hang out to do them with. Congrats on freeing yourself from that kind of baggage.

Thanks! I hadn't realized how much it had been dragging at me until I cut the anchor rope.

I'm veery perky, now. And, according to my technician, also dressed like an Easter egg. ;-) New scrubs - primarily in pink and periwinkle.

I'm just disinclined at this point to cater to whiners. If you ask my opinion, that's what you'll get. I'm not going to edit because you really were fishing for complements.

Poo on the whole business.

eh, just don't mess with my names on the site and it should be fine. Ifn you want to do a new index page, ko. I just did that one cause it was free and I could get from anywhere. Don't need it that way, but it was fun to try out. (and it had butterflies) :)

But as long as you leave my pages off your updating we should be fine until I get a clue.

I'm actually not so sure, and I'm going to ask Marion, first. ;-)

And also ask her about template generators. Might be fun to have our own.

removal from lists is not a bad thing, I had to do that on several occasions and found myself more productive because of it... in a makes me happy sort of way :)

Been apart of more things that make for the whole dysfunctional household feel... am hoping to have learned from it, who knows though... lol :P

I shed the e-list AND the physical group that went with it. ;-) In large part because it really isn't anything more than an E-group. Ppttthhbbttttt.
