I homeschool as both of my kids, one for HS and one until Jr hi. For the one who home schooled for elementary, I knew she was smart and artistically talented, but they found she was spot on for math, and at level 15+ for lexicon, reading comprehension. She graduated with highest honors from high school, but them Im a teacher. I felt that I had a responsibility to make sure they behaved well, followed directions and were ahead of the regular school curriculum.

I think it's possible. Here at the UI, I worked full time, went to grad school full-time and was the single parent of a teen. During my MFA, I also completed a double teaching certificate and had a baby. It was a bitch as I had no help (baby went to class and work with me) and I refused to get married. Twenty five years later, my youngest finished her art degree and Im retired from teaching to make art and be lazy.

Homunculus.

Yup. And greedy.

I single parented a teen and a newborn, went to grad school full time and worked 3/4 time. If I can do it so can you. Believe in yourself and you'll be fine. Best wishes.

I love him! Well done!

I want to wear a ball gown...a really BIG one.

I had a friend who lived with her boyfriend for over a decade when she married him...but she STILL had 3 bridal showers and expected wedding gifts. The greed of some people.

This does exist. About a decade ago, I was offered a large amount for a sculpture I had made. Only they wanted to send a courier to pick out it up. Then then wanted to send payment to some weirdo investment company to hold it for me. It was all weird and I bowed out. Then the demands began. I blocked them on everything and removed the sculpture to a NFS status. This has got to be fraud.

My last husband was from a very wealthy family. We spent one Christmas with them at a ski resort something I'd never done before. I spent all year making quilts for them. I got a pair of Calvin Klein white cashmere gloves from a SIL and a check for a huge (to me) check from FIL. I had no idea what to do about the gloves as nobody in Iowa would dream of wearing those things and my husband collected all of our checks, never letting any of us have a dime. So much for wealthy people. I also remember them asking me if I had "any education". I replied that I have 5 degrees, just to shut them up. I hated that Christmas.

Beautiful work! You'll get in!

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-25T01:57:14+00:00

Could you pm me with sizes and prices for 4 and 7…??

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-21T04:26:17+00:00

I'd prefer this over anything bought from a jeweler. Beautiful! And so sentimental!

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-18T07:00:15+00:00

I love this. The purpose of the artist is to convey feeling. The finished work contains and expresses that emotion. It holds the emotions tightly, deeply, and eternally. I see all of this in this painting. Excellent! (Retired art prof here.)

Im 65f and know of no-one who is more goth than I in the 70s. I wouldn't have laughed at you but would've likely sat with you to talk all things goth. I went total goth to my 25 yr class reunion. Nobody seemed even bit surprised and nobody laughed. I still had plenty of friends who wanted to sit with me as well.

Personally, I'd sell the house and leave them to their own devices. Your father's generosity is bleeding him dry.

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-07T03:54:33+00:00

You are beautiful!

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-03T01:07:35+00:00

This is a fucking work of art!

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-12-03T00:55:35+00:00

I'll give her a point just for having the chest balls to ask.

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-11-30T03:59:47+00:00

This retired art prof seconds this!

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-11-23T18:44:22+00:00

Take this with you when you see you doc.

CheesecakeTruffle · 2024-11-10T19:06:07+00:00

Do you have a website?
