    Commonplace Strangers

    I am becoming curious as to turnover on this site. Some of the more frequent members when I originally signed on are now irregulars or nevers. The site doesn\'t seem as exciting as even last year. With Becca running up to 1000 and somebody writing intoxicated posts, it seems quiet in...

    Brush strokes

    I know I saw on here somewhere somebody asking about brush strokes. I just can\'t find it. My Problem: while painting a flag the brush strokes become quite evident. You can immediately tell which direction I was pulling the brush. When I add another drop of water the paint bubbles. When I...

    Posting Difficulty

    I was wondering if anybody else shares this problem: You try to write a reply and then get stuck becuase you can\'t figure out how to spell a word - especially a common word that you would normally know how to spell. You think and think and finally come up with a similar word that you know how...

    It is good to be back!

    After putting down my paint brush almost 6 months ago - for no reason but to read books - I finally got motivated to work on projects again. I was able to spend 2 hours last night adding layers of paint and then reading while they dried. It feels good to be doing something creative again. And...

    Worst search term for google

    I was wondering what stupid things people have thrown into a search engine like google expecting something harmless and getting so much more. Remember the movie Dick. When it first came out a radio broadcaster wanted more information and went to dick.com which is far different from...

    An interesting experiment . . .

    Got bored reading the same old arguements so went and played in the control panel. Go to edit profile and change topics to page to 2000. You can see every topic ever started in each category. I found it kind of fun to browse through the ancient history of this site.

    Harbinger magazine question

    I was looking at a subsricption to Harbinger Magazine online. When you go through the process of looking up the subscription for the americas it comes up with 45 pounds for one or 55 pounds for the other. This is 3 pounds more than the cover price but includes shipping to America. Now, the...

    How much time do you actually spend painting?

    I am about to ask the question we all shy away from. We fear it will prove to everybody that nobody actually paints on this website. Obviously we are all fakers - just look at the good looking folks in the post your picture thread - no nerdy gamers or painters in there. So how much time do...

    Simple comparison

    I noticed a Torjan condom commercial the other day and started wondering where they got the name. The most famous trojan figure was the the horse. Could they really be comparing themselves to a Trojan horse? Let\'s see: False sense of security/victory Ability to get past the outer defenses A...

    Painting Little Green Army Men

    I was wondering if anybody had tried painting the green army guys you get for about 10 cents each. I got a couple in this grab bag for Christmas and thought I would give it a shot. As anybody who has every tried before can tell you, they have no fine detail. They barely have any hard edges...

    Paint Pots

    I intend to mix different colors of paint in different percentages to come up with the in between colors in the line. Not a lot of paint mind you but too much for my frugal side to throw away every time. How do other people store their small batches of mixed colors? I shudder to think what it...

    Monitor Equalizer

    I was just looking at CMON at work during an unscheduled break only to realize that one of my minis which is pulling in a few low votes a day looks terrible at work and fine at home. After racing home and adjusting my monitor I find that with it set the way my wife likes it my pic is way too...
