I was here lurking--and was pretty amazed by some of the gorgeous stuff you and the others have been posting--but I knew if I started putting up pics, I wouldn't be able to control myself (posting pictures I guess is my "Pirates" game) so I was good and didn't even go there.
I loved the one you painted yourself, by the way. That was stunning.

Besides...the "Neutral Thread" sounded more about politics than a color. 
stirbird said:Hi all bored shy people. I've missed you guys. I've been looking for work...still. For some reason everything in my industry niche has ground to near halt. :/ My efforts have paid off a little though. I have three interviews next week.
My son Mike has been looking for a job for a full yr now, and hasn't found a thing! It's an employer's market.

The whole country has ground to a halt, pretty much. Here in Toledo it's devastating.
It's good to hear it's not just me or my niche (which is pretty narrow, i.e., not a lot of jobs) even in the best of times, but man, how tough for your son. He must feel pretty bad. I contract so I'm used to being unemployed but this dry spell came at a particularly bad time.
