I thought I would throw this out there and see what people thought. I'd like to put a disclaimer on here that by no means am I trying to step on anyone's toes or control anything by throwing out my idea, I just simply want to share and get feedback.

I've been tossing around the idea of having some clothing embroidered and have gotten some quotes. I'm going to go into the embroidery place tomorrow and see if it's possible to get anything done by the pre-dig. How it works is, there's a set-up fee and then a fee per item of clothing made. You can either bring in your own item of clothing or buy the stuff they already have there. here's a link (this is for the roseville store, click on "wearables" up at the top).

If I set this up and I'm able to get things done by the pre-dig, would anyone be interested in placing an order? I believe that the cost would be around $20 or so for a t-shirt, more for a sweatshirt. And as I said, once the design is set-up, people can also bring in their own stuff (like face masks, hats, gloves, etc.), but it'll have to be to the Roseville location. However, because the set-up fee is a pretty big one, I would ask on the honor system for you to flip me a small fee, like $5 or so.

This is the logo I'm using:

that's a shame. the site's still fetching news from wcco though. no one seems to be maintaining it. unfortunately, it seens they had a flawed business model. hard to generate revenue when you're not charging for your services.

I would not use it, If I am going to have something that shape, it will be a garden rake, or a landscape rake.

Word to the wise about the "auditions" for amazing race and survivor. There won't be any casting reps there. This isn't really an audition. It's a WCCO promo. They basically just have cameras there for you to tape an audition to put in your application packet that you mail in. You can do that on your own and send it in. You'll probably do a better and more creative job if you do it yourself. (That's what they look for anyway)

Awwww, I liked Shelly. She had spunk! Loved her in Poseidon Adventure. Wasn't she married to Ernest Borgnine?

I don't know for sure. That sounds familiar, but it's not mentioned in the write up at the PP.

I always liked her spunk, too.

On the 6 July, 1972 episode of "Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson", she grew tired of Oliver Reed's attitude towards women. They had a heated conversation and after Shelley told Reed what she thought of his opinions, left the set. The show continued with Oliver Reed still going on about women while Johnny Carson looked at him in a daze. Shortly afterwards, Winters appeared from Stage left, unannounced to Reed and to the shock of Carson. She was carrying a champagne bucket of ice and water with which she surprised Reed by dumping it over his head. Reed was furious over this and tried to attack her but set personal intervened. The show broke for commercial break. When the show resumed both actors were gone.

She donated her Oscar for The Diary of Anne Frank (1959/I) to the Anne Frank museum.

She hardly gave her marriages a chance! I guess I was remembering her teamed up with Ernie in Poiseidon Adventure.

I agree, it's been in my favorites ever since I found it when it was listed as a resource for some project I did in high school about 7 years ago.

I love looking at trivia and goofs for movies I just saw.

Good site that has tons of dvd easter eggs.

in one of the menu's you can make the robot things eyes light up, and you'll get a clip of Kevin Smith yelling at you for trying to find easter-eggs on his DVD.....

someone ditched a sled in our backyard sometime today....

There arent any little kids living around here, that I know of, so i'm finding that kinda odd....

What even more odd, is that it was in the middle of the yard, meaning they either opened the gate and came in, or the wind carried it from one end of the yard.....

I'm hoping that whatever the final park should be, has a nice sized hill... because if someone doesnt come back to claim it by then, its coming with me...

For that matter.... i'm glad that didnt happen last year...

It would have earned a name like "The Crosby Rocket", or something...

that would reflect kinda weird on me...
