I'm at the computer that doesn't have Illustrator installed which would be the ideal app for this sort of thing but it does have Photoshop, so I spent like ten minutes this morning sketching this up.

It's just the basic shape of what you posted before done in few layers. I didn't go much farther than that because I'm old and lazy and wanted some input as far as color schemes and such.



It might not look like much but from that above to this below is like three or four mouse clicks.



Give me some direction as far as coloring and stuff at your leisure. You can PM if you want so I don't fill poor jenni's thread with technobabble!! Bleh

My article [jennifersikora.com] was published this morning! If it sucks, don't tell me.
I just finished reading it and I think that was a great article! There was some stuff even I learned and I'm a total coupon nut! Like writing the company about their products? That works?

The Blogger person needs to clean up the formatting though! It looks like she just pasted what you wrote in there and the formatting got all FUBAR'ed. There's a lot of white space on each line and it makes it harder to read! She should fix it!!!

I'm probably being anal again though!

I run my first inventory next week Big Grin

but it's not a normal inventory....I'll go and run the computer and such and the store employees will scan the items instead of how our crew normally does it which will be a little less stressful for me

Well no wonder they're using that patch then. Roll

Any other things you want? I'll add the white stripes on the preserver. That's no biggie.

You want it more of a flat design or did you prefer it with some depth? The beveling/embossing is easy to do.

I really wish you knew how easy this is to do yourself!! It's harder to post on SD sometimes than it was to do this sort of thing and I'm by no stretch of the imagination any kind of expert!

Great article jenni! I agree with Mr. Burns, I learned some stuff too! woot

Don't buy an item (unless you REALLY want to try it) JUST because you have a coupon. Make sure it's the best deal. If you're going to buy bread and store brand is less than name brand with coupon, just get store brand.
This is the mistake I always make. Especially if the coupon is about to expire. In my head I'm going, "I went to all the trouble of clipping this thing, I'm damn sure gonna use it!" Then I wind up spending more than I intended and chewing up all my other coupon savings. Down

So I'm home sick today. Trying to decide if I have a bad summer cold or the beginnings of a sinus infection (remember last winters round of one per month for 4 months?) Wouldn't be such a big deal if my insurance wasn't in lalla land. It lapsed from CB and now I have to continue it myself via Cobra but that paperwork just came last week and I haven't sent the check yet. There's a $60 urgent care place near here;tryingt o decide if I should just go now.

What's the medical end-game if it's a sinus infection? What was the treatment like last time around?

They start with antibiotics. Last year I took five different ones in increasing doses. The recommendation was to see an allergist as it was thought that allergies were triggering rhinitis which was snowballing into sinus infections because they were so bad. I didn't follow this advice because I moved in March and had not had any allergy/cold/sinus problems since the move other than a few bad days with hayfever.

Oh dear. None of that sounds like it's going to be cheap without insurance.

But the alternative is WAY worse!

How long has it been like this? If it's been more than four days or so, I'd probably go that urgent care place and see what they have to say.
