LC> CB>                   Great idea!
LC>had to put an office together with no money to do so after being on 
Workers'
  >Comp for 10 months, working for 8 months, then being on Unemployment for 
1
  >months.  There was nothing left.  The 8 months of steady income had not

  >sorts
  >of ways to make a business-like working environment suitable to be seen by

    Please! Tell me more!:::getting notebook to make notes:::
  >you paint Elmo peeking through an orange windowframe on your shed and it

  >you smile every time you see it, that's right for you to do.
         Well, actually I am more a ziggy fan! He understands me:)
  It would
  >irritate
  >the hell out of me, so I would plant ivies to climb all over the shed and
  >hang
  >bird feeders from the eaves.
             That would be beautiful! But then I'd never be alone , My
mom is a bird watcher!
            
  Y.  Looking at your first

  >is a great psychological boost, both when things are going well (look how 
fa
  >we've come!) and when things are going badly (that's our first buck - we
  >really
  >are a real company)
               Well I have thought it over and over and then some, I
have decided that since the kids are not opposed to having to share a
room(In fact they are overjoyed and I wonder where my *real* kids are!:)
I am going to use a small bedroom just for my office and put all Jeffs
stuff in own room, Then we will get a futon for the living room or just
crash in sleeping bags in his "office" He has agreed to this and I
really think that it will be better all the way around to have a place
separate from all living quarters:) The room I will be using has a back
door right across from the door so I intend to fix the area up so
clients can have a entrance into the office without having to walk
through the living room and my kids and thier friends in the summertime.
LC>We're here to help one another run businesses from our homes.  If my
  >experiences and thoughts help you, that's great, because the folk here 
ave
  >helped me by sharing their ideas and thoughts.  It's not only the usable
  >ideas
  >themselves, it's the moral support, the feeling of being less alone than I
  >seem
  >to be, that has helped me so much.  I can't actually give back the help
  >they've
  >given me, but if I can hand it on in however small a way, that's great.
                 well you've helped alot and I am looking forward to
staying in this conference!
