They say stress can be good for you?

Thought I would get more response to my poll. I don't think 13 vs. 0 is very good sampling, but what I was trying to show was contrary to what I had read on another blog.
The results were gathered to show to me and YOU what I read on that other blog wasn't necessarily so.

The reason I started this blog was to stay in touch with those I left in my life in Colorado and so my family can read what I am up to. But to my knowledge, people who buy art certainly want to know something about the artist. What better way than to read their thoughts, about how they live, how they do their art, what makes them tick and what they like and don't like. So I am glad for the results I received. It proves a point to me, and maybe to you.
Visitors from Colorado will be here the next few days, so I will be entertaining. Check back later.
