Strange times. We all can do with some good news. Be it sales of your art, or something personal. SHARE IT HERE! * * * * * * As for me - I start my new, permanent, full-time job on Monday, after not having one since end of July last year. Hope your day(s) are bright ones. -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me! -- Edited by artistjillian at 06/11/2009 11:04 AM PDT -- Edited by artistjillian at 07/26/2009 10:49 AM PDT

I thought I would revive this thread to share something pretty awesome. Just when you lose faith in people, something like this comes along and makes your entire month. I've been listing a lot of yard sale junk, trying to downsize for a move. I listed a lot during the free promotion. Some things sold well, some not at all, and one item, a box of Happy Meal Toys, for only .99 cents. I didn't really care about the price. My fees were covered, and the things got a good home. This morning I wake to a PayPal email saying "You've Got Cash." I thought it was spam. But inside was $10, and this message: "Kathy Dear~Please accept these monies for the teenies...99¢ is way too little to let them go for and I feel guilty for stealing them from you...Thank you for selling on eBay and please dont become discouraged when things dont go as planned 🐵 Enjoy your day ! Sincerely ~ Kyle" -- Kathy

That is so nice of Kyle! Let me share my good news....Our middle daughter graduated last month with her Doctor of Physical Therapy. She passed her National Boards AND Florida Law Boards this past week! She starts her job in 2 weeks. The REALLY good news?? She is off the payroll - 2 kids down and 1 to go!

Great! -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

Wow, Sue. That's FANTASTIC! Great career choice for her. Plenty of job security in that field. She's going to do great. :) -- Kathy

[suejo0101]

Thanks Jillian and Kathy! Yes - she will have plenty of job security! What was really great - she had 3 different hospitals vying for her. Must be nice to be in the middle of a bidding war - something we don't see on ebay any more! haha Actually, her speciality is pediatric closed head injuries. She says it is a good day when people like her don't have any patients. I totally agree! But, in this hospital she will do 4 month "rounds" - like pediatrics, orthopedics, the burn unit, etc. She's excited and we are VERY proud of her. Sue
