Your Daily Moment of Zen
- Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me the hell alone.
- The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
- It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
- Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
- Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
- No one is listening until you fart.
- Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
- Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
- If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

New Stuff
New Glass ... Spectrum 'Vecchio' texture now comes in colours! These had been seenin the Spectrum Rack Packs over the last little while, and made the step up to being a standard glass.

- 130.8 V Pale Blue, $7.95 sq.ft.
- 140.8 V Pale Purple, $7.95 ft.

We now have some Wasser glass in stock now as well. It is COE 90, comes in a 12" by 12" sheet, and is very thin, 1.6mm. Great for delicate fusing projects. It is priced from $23.95 to $25.95 a square foot.
* Note you will notice that this statement appears now on some glass and it will appear a lot more in the future. It refers to the need for glass that has the same COE to be used on fusing projects.
New Fusing Stuff ...
Fusing Dams,10" x 2" x 0.5" , $19.95 each
