09-10-05: Sculpting Demo

Log 1

Demo Stuff Jan to Dec 2005


buci131 has joined the conference.

minimadness423 has joined the conference.

buci131: Is it? Could it be?
buci131: KathyL!
norajean_sf: I'm still invisible because I just got on myself.
buci131: We're actually in a chatroom together, can you believe it?
norajean_sf: Yes the amazing KathyL is in DA House!
buci131: LOL
minimadness423: just an illusion
norajean_sf: thought I'd give us a minute alone before inviting everyone else.
minimadness423: gotta fix my color and font
buci131: ok
buci131: to both of you, LOL
norajean_sf: got a message from Mitch, she offered my kin a room in her home, she's so sweet.
buci131: that's really sweet
norajean_sf: I hope she gets her computer up and working I miss her tons
buci131: and they'd have extended vamily to hang out with
buci131: very sweet family
buci131: yeah, me too
buci131: a lot
minimadness423: she is sweet to do that.
norajean_sf: isn't she though
norajean_sf: if nothing else we know that the American people still got heart
buci131: have you heard anymore about the rest of your missing family?
minimadness423: the rest of the world should realize that too
norajean_sf: not yet, but the rest of the family were further away from the damage
buci131: oh, that's encouraging
buci131: I just talked to a friend from NO last night for a couple of hours
buci131: she filled me in on most everyone I knew and they all seem to be doing pretty well
minimadness423: I still haven't seen anything from Jean Jordan
norajean_sf: I have family members in other countries doing Missionary work, so they were not around, but I know they are wearing their knees out in prayer.
norajean_sf: Still nothing from Jean, I have Helen in San Antonio asking for her too, Helen has been volunteering at the evac station there
buci131: yeah, KathyL, I'm a bit concerned since she's a policewoman
norajean_sf: working round the clock it seems
norajean_sf: brb
buci131: do y'all know if she had to stay behind when the storm hit?
minimadness423: she probably didn't have a choice. I would assume all the police, fire, rescue were required to stay...most have that dedication to do it without being told
buci131: that's what I was thinking, at least for Orleans parish
minimadness423: I do know her house/apt was less than 2 blocks from the 17th street canal break...I have her addy and compared on Yahoo maps to a CNN map showing the flooding
buci131: oh, check out Google Earth--it's a download but it's awesome!
minimadness423: I would say all emergency services people anywhere in the projected path would be staying
buci131: Current satelite imaging for anywhere you type in
norajean_sf: back
buci131: hey, NJ, how do think demo went yesterday?
minimadness423: brb
buci131: the part I was in was pretty good--chat was almost all on topic, etc.
norajean_sf: very well because we had a lot of new people who appreciate the demo
norajean_sf: we just "waited out" the bothersome folks
norajean_sf: That's what I figured would happen
buci131: LOL--looks like it worked
norajean_sf: Praise God
norajean_sf: ok, I best go visible and start inviting folks
buci131: second that
buci131: k, I won't be able to stay on long again--gotta iron clothes for hubby who's off on another business trip tomorrow
buci131: I'll stick around as long as I can, though

mommaclara2001: YW
clayladyinred: she might post her links to the group... so watch there...

clayladyinred: the upper lipped was pushed up a bit for the nose, and down a bit for the mouth
clayladyinred: and below the bottom lip was pushed up a bit to form the bottom lip
clayladyinred: the top of the nose is not level with the eyes... I mean in profile... it sticks out farther
clayladyinred: they eyes are one eye width apart
clayladyinred: and the face is about 5 eyes wide
clayladyinred: the bottom of the nose is about one eye wide
clayladyinred: the corners of the mouth should be about where the pupils are (I think LOL)
