Argh! Good news, bad news, whatever news. First of all let me send a big huge thank-you to the people who sent me the bucks to get those gloves and socks. It was great to find people would do that and well, lets just say it was a great boost for me.
Now the bad news.... THEY SUCK!!! *sigh* Yep, absolutely pathetic. Fully charged batteries, plug em in, turn em on, and get a minor bit of warmth in a few spots. Minor warmth? Jeez dudes this is freakin' Manitoba, a wee bit of warm is nothing, not even on the radar! *SIGH* Now I'm always careful to keep receipts for things like this but somehow this one got lost. No idea. Searched the van for the bag from the store but somehow, nada. So that's that, complete rip-off and no way to return em. Ah bugger!
Very disappointing to say the least. Well this was my call. Things have looked up a bit for expenses though, mostly because the price of gas has dropped considerably. I had more donated than I needed as well so I've combined those bits of situation and sent along what was donated to me to a couple of people who needed it far more than I do. Socks, fine, but when I hear that someone I know is selling their plasma to make rent for the month, well I'd say that's a bit more important!
One thing struck me as funny and kinda strange though... you know, I'd far rather people bought a few prints than donate a few bucks to the keep me warm fund y'know. *grin* So, holidays are upon us and I'd like to get some arts on some walls and in some hands. I'm happy to sell any of my prints for cost and a bit. There are so many print services these days with so many sizes, quality level etc, that I can't even begin to list prices and all that. Basically, if you'd like something, I'll make it happen ok?
