Carrie "I like the business card tutorials.
I set them up in Publisher, but looks like you were using something
like
Photoshop (for the photos) with the opacity and color dodge settings.
Some good ideas."

Thanks Carrie. This should be right up your ally. You have the
graphics experience, but combining text and graphics to send to a
commercial printer is very technical and difficult. One project of
mine is to show people who don't have the professional software and
PostScript fonts how to do it online for free.

Peace,

Tom

what is the benefit of thinking you actually think? does the course
not answer such questions?

Carrie "I am kind of a dabbler."

That's what I suspected.

I was asking George; I have no idea why it posted as a reply to your
post. I don't ask you anything with good reason.

George, the Cause is the tiny mad idea that we forgot to laugh at, the
idea of Sin, now we have the effects of guilt and fear - the world as
we all know it. at least that is my understanding of the material.
and i've read more than once that it is all about Content not form.

Carrie " Interesting word, I've been thinking about it.
"Dabbler" Could be someone who never gets anything done, or could be
an artist who puts a dab of this, and a dab of that (paint) on a
canvas, and at some point ends up with something "whole". Knowing a
little bit about a lot of things, and enjoying the experiences."

Absolutely. It is a great virtue.

Greeting Tom,

Hope you and the cat's tail and she, dear one, of the angel realm are
all doing spiffy.

I thought the writings were from long before that period. Like the
1800's or some kind of early period. I could be mistaken of course.
But I sense the ideas predated words of Freud, like ego etc., by many
many decades.

It's amazing how course like these letters are. Conceptually exact in
fact.

wonderful to read. Inspired I think.

Be of good cheer Tom.

p.s. I will share with you that before I can post this reply I was
first instructed to validate using the word "fatuak". This surprised
me. I was certain all uak's were skinny creatures.

John Rad.

Hi John, long time no see.

John "Hope you and the cat's tail and she, dear one, of the angel
realm are all doing spiffy."

~ Darn spiffy.How about yourself?

John "I thought the writings were from long before that period. Like
the 1800's or some kind of early period. I could be mistaken of
course."

~ In fact, you are mistaken.

John "But I sense the ideas predated words of Freud, like ego etc., by
many many decades."

~ There's no need to guess. I have the book and it tells when the
letters were written.

Peace,

Tom
