  OK OK OK so I stole Englishman's phrasing.

  One thing I'd been noticing about a certain Troll's posts, they seem to center around personal accomplishments.

  Perhaps, that's not such a bad thing. This person obviously isn't getting any encouragement to pursue "selfish desires" by the congregation, therefore he and others feel the need to go bragging.

  Growing up JW doesn't exactly encourage your creativity; on the contrary it stifles artistic expression and personal growth.

  So perhaps there is something that *you* can do very well (or not so well but it's still YOUR THANG as JT would say) that is very special.

  We all know that Dave (Seven) is great at art, and TR can pick any damn lock he chooses, but what about the rest of us?

  I was a pretty decent artist growing up.

  In high school, my art teachers encouraged me to apply to Columbus College of Art and Design and maybe try for scholarships. When I mentioned the idea to my mother, she rolled her eyes and told me how impractical it was.

  "You need to get into to secretarial work....Something to support yourself while this system winds down. You will have forever to practice your artwork in the new system. You don't need to be going away to college and be exposed to that immoral environment." she said. Thus, five years later, I'm sitting at a desk typing this message, although I still paint and draw on weekends.

  Fred, we all know where cats can reach with their tongue, right?

  AMarie, that's awesome. I can't draw water, ha ha.

  My daughter is a WONDERFUL artist, she doesn't know it but for her birthday we're getting her art classes.
