Hey girlie! Missed you too! I haven't been on here much since I've been busy trying to go back to school for a Bachelors of Science, Graphic Design, and because I am doing it in an unusual/ atypical way, through the VA's Vocational Rehabilitation program (disabled veteran) Chapter 31, not the usual G.I. Bill...as anything with the government...it isn't very swift. They approved my choice of school (Art Institute of California, S.F., on-line) and major (Graphic Design is one of the most expensive majors! 100k!!!), and now just trying to make sure all my bases are covered before actually enrolling. They are covering EVERYTHING...and then some- reality still hitting. Don't know whether to laugh or cry...done both! The school was not familiar with Chapter 31, so it's a new one for them, and it's been a phone tag trying to get in touch with them, but as far as the VA is concerned, I'm in!
My screenshots from the Inkscape.org website, and LinuxToday/Ostatic on-line mag, and Pinkitude convinced them 
The Pen Tool Masters group sounds great! I'm going to need some Adobe CS4 Design Premium tips and tutorials...so used to Inkscape!
Hope all is well with you!

Everything is very well, I hate that its taken so long to get back! 
I've been gone for a minute because I just moved, quite my job, got a new one, and finally I've found a spot where I can just calm down and get back to what I love.

Thanks for posting that Aldous Huxley quote!
I looked him up on Wikipedia, discovered his novels and I am enjoying them greatly!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are most welcome! Glad you discovered him too! If you enjoy philosophy, you might also enjoy his Perennial Philosophy-it's one of my must-have books

Haha, I didn't notice this reply for an EXACT YEAR!
Well, since I noticed I will now reply.

Since his book "Chrome Yellow," was available for free (via Gutenberg.org) I read that first.
I was amazed at Huxley's method of jumping between first and third person. And I loved how the author teased his characters, as if he were watching them instead of narrarting.
