And what did you pay for? *painter, sculptor, musician, author... Feel free to define artist however you wish. Buying from Reaper (for example) doesn't count as directly. I have no idea. I bought some 3-d printed stuff from @Morihalda at Reapercon. She didn't sculpt the figures, but she is an artist. Does that count?

I'll go with current. 'Everything's bigger in Texas'. So far, I have seen a fair amount of evidence to support this. I am told that driving an hour to get somewhere is 'a short trip', there seem to be very few 1 lane roads (1 lane in each direction) other than in residential areas, and most of the places I've gone to eat out at serve very generous portions.

Share a picture of some food you're actually having! Since I share cooking duties with my wife (which includes deciding WHAT to cook), I don't particularly care, just give me a few choices and I'll pick one. Just ate a bowl of cereal, nothing particularly exciting there, so no piccies. 2 hours ago, Crowley said: Question for September 6: Labor day! The history of the labor movement in the USA is interesting, to say the least, as is the reason we don't celebrate it on international workers day (May 1st). Are you/have you ever been as member of a union? Have you ever participated in a strike? If you have today off, how are you celebrating? No. No. I caught up on all the sleep I didn't get at Reapercon, and I'm continuing the unpacking process from the con. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current employer does not like unions but has taken the approach of "people only unionize when they are treated poorly, so if we treat our people well they won't unionize" and done so successfully. I am laboring at home by doing some tidying up, but also some hobby time. There are probably sports on TV today so I'll likely put something on as background noise. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could not strike per contract. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a member of a union (think that they're more common here), but I've never been on strike. I had plans for today that involved lots of painting for the rcl but I got a major case of messing up everything I tried touching a brush to, so I cut my losses and just watched a movie and generally chilled out for the day. Oh, and I caught a little wren that flew into a window, put him in a shoebox until he was recovered from his minor concussion and then let him go. So at least I did one worthwhile thing today! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew boy, when I worked in the oilfield, this was one debate you didn't want to get into. Sex was more than fine, politics and religion not so much, but unions? Yikes. Guys were either pro or anti and you'd better be careful, because they'd try and trick you into a conflict you didn't want to get into. The closest thing I ever did to striking was the year dad was putting off fixing my furnace. My pets and I staged a sleep-in protest, in honour of my heroes, at his house. It didn't take more than a few days. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been part of a strike, though I don’t cross picket lines.

Odds are two are redacted (with one being purple), bacon is involved somehow, as are well made cinnamon buns (with hotly contested raisins in it), and probably some Costa Rica origin coffee that's preferably honey process of some kind (red honey seems to be my favourite). Yes, I literally did just describe the beginnings of a nice breakfast as a way to summon this fox. Bacon is magical, didn't you know? 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've been a member of 2 unions in my life; Police and Merchant Navy. As Kuroneko has said, the history and function of unions in UK is very different to USA. I would have struck if the cause seemed just. No day off today, but I have attended May Day rallies in the past. 9 hours ago, Crowley said: Because I know tomorrow morning is gonna be a mess...
