      From Mattb291 September 6

      wow, you have had to endure so much, my heart and prayers go out to you. Yeah, the doctors have said they might be able to make me pain free for a couple more years, but that if I use them to survey, I'll end up in a wheelchair. I need support long enough to change professions, but i doubt SS will help me as I'm relatively healthy. But I appreciate your hug so much, and I admire you for hanging in there!

      Wow, those are amazing renderings. What is her technigue, is it all CG from beginning to end or does she sketch out her ideas first on paper?

      From Hawk37 July 4, 2007

      That sounds like a great idea. I usualy end up at Pirates cove, but I bet turtle beach is nicer. Im glad you got a chance to unwind. maybe Ill manage to wrangle a long weekend and do something similar. I have an uncle with a cabin on toledo bend, may be time to hit em up for a key. ;)
