okay - university here is where you would get a degree.
College is where you do further education but its not a degree, so it is an institution between secondary school and university, a college of further education and adult education.
You're a vet!!

"Go to Paintsquared.com, a blog by Portlander (Portland, Maine, FWIW) Elizabeth Fraser that chronicles her life through art. Each morning since January, the self-taught artist has posted a new 5"x5" oil painting on the site (one day a week she posts two) along with notes about the place that inspired it...Once the work is online, it's ready for auction on eBay, starting at $60.00 each. Some have sold for more than $200.00. 'I find that [the internet] is a great tool for people to see your work," Fraser says. Finding a way to fit artwork and computers together I think [is] something all artists should be doing'."

Thank you so much for posting this information about Elizabeth Fraser and paintsquared.com, Tamarack! :D
I just now visited the site and I love the paintings!
In fact, you've got me all excited and my imagination is racing away with me, about the possibilities of selling my paintings on e-Bay! :o
Not sure that I'll manage to be as prolific as Elizabeth, but I'll certainly give it my best shot! I'll have more time to paint next year, when I retire! ;D

I'm so glad that it struck you this way, Kerry! That's what I was hoping when I saw it. The artsy people that I know are just horrible at marketing, which only makes sense, I guess, but this seemed pretty much like "not marketing" but it would still get your work out there where people could see it and BUY it.
I don't think you should be too concerned about not being as prolific as she is. After all, her paintings are so tiny. :) You could probably paint a normal sized picture and then cut it up and sell the pieces. I almost thought that was what she was going to say that she did - one piece a day and you buy them and re-assemble them. I've seen pictures put together like that with an inch or two in between the pieces. I like the way it looks. I guess you could stop buying the pieces whenever you wanted to and then everyone would have a different finished picture!
Anyway, I'm glad this struck a chord with you. Good luck with it!

i work full time as a custodian my hours are 6:00pm - 2:30am its not really what i want to be doing but its not to bad i have alot of fun with the people i work with and the pay is good so you can't be that. what would i rather be doing? well lets see i've decided that i like writing but thats something i just do on the side, i worked with horses once and really enjoyed that, i'm really good with animals so probably something along those lines.
Kelda:
custodian? Like a prison officer?
Or i tried wikipedia and is says that in the United States, is a person that cleans and maintains large buildings? or it can also mean a Custodian as a financial term, refers to a bank (Custodian bank), agent, or other organization responsible for safeguarding a firm's or individual's financial assets. The role of a custodian in such a case would be the following: to hold in safekeeping assets such as equities and bonds, arrange settlement of any purchases and sales of such securities, collect information on and income from such assets (dividends in the case of equities and interest in the case of bonds), provide information on the underlying companies and their annual general meetings, manage cash transactions, perform foreign exchange transactions where required and provide regular reporting on all their activities to their clients.
