always - like 100% of the time.

1. Count your paintings, photographs and other artwork, how many pieces do you have hanging on your walls in your "home"? it would be hard to count, definitely 50+ on the walls, if I counted the glasswork & pottery - tons of it. 2. Which room in your house has the most art? probably the family room 3. Which piece of art is the coolest? Describe it? a 3x4' ceramic mosaic I did for the front entry, I liked it then and still like it now which for me is unusual 4. Which piece of art has the greatest sentimental value to you? definitely a self-portrait our oldest did for us right before he was killed - it's framed and hung here in my office 5. Take this quiz:What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait? Who Should Paint You: Alfred Gockel All American yet funky, you inspire an artist's imagination And while not everyone will understand your portrait, you will! 6. If a well known artist asked you to pose (clothed or not) for a local group of artists, would you do it? sure, but I would have to have say on whether the portraits were released to the public... could be really bad

^ same here, I'm very aware when I am in a grumpy mood.

Where was the last place you visited for the first time? Alabama 4. Who was the last new person you met? The regional big boss 5. What was the last new toy you played with? my itouch

wow - what a depressing thread! That said - It is inspiring seeing what some of you'all have gone through and have still come out the amazing people that you are. Think of how many people end up just so damaged and bitter. I always try to remember that one person's worst experience is just that - it doesn't really have any relation to the difficulty of anyone else's. There's no comparing, and you don't get a pass saying "one tragedy per person" that this is as bad as it will ever get. You always keep in the back of your mind that the other shoe can still drop. Good thing this is not a contest, this ONE time... I win. My son being killed at age 6

yes... had fun shoveling perfect little paths.
