It is very hard to see my mother going through lung cancer surgery with all the pokes they have put in her you'd think she was a real pin cushion.  Black and blue marks up and down her arms and all the tubes attached to her, with an oxygen mask over her face and a feeding tube in below her stomach now, and two tubes, one on each side of  her lungs.  She is oozing with mucous and other liquid coming out.  I just hope that this treatment does the trick.  I put up the GoFundMe for her, but so far I have not  had much luck.  I wish that people were more responsive to those who are in serious need.  This world doesn't seem too concerned with all that stuff.  I don't know why, but they are numbed to the plight that they are surrounded with.   It really irks me to see things like this becoming part of my everyday life, you can't win, and will never win with the attitudes that are so heavy and pronounced the way they are against all justice!!!

Thumbtack is an interesting website where you can post your services and connect with people.  It seems to work really well, I hope that I will be able to find customers interested in my art business, selling paintings.  I love to paint and I started drawing as a child.  I really would like to find work doing what I love.  I am getting ready to graduate from Suny Purchase with a degree in Liberal Studies and a minor in Arts Management.  I hope this will help me find openings into the work world in the arts

There's this website that I came across called www.see.me.com and it's very exciting.  We are going to get together and figure out how it works.  You can make money on it by posting your artwork and other pictures and then people can support you by making a postcard or a tee-shirt from your artwork and pictures.  It's an exciting platform for an artistic person, and that's what I am.  So check it out!
