were you working on a mutant vehicle LeChat, I thought I remember you saying you were thinking about it anyway?

Actually, I have done a lot of grant writing. I used to do it for the Department on Aging (finding funding for programs that aided the elderly)....

and I got a fellowship this spring!

You can find short courses on grant writing offered at local Art centers, too- weekend classes, et cetera. Sometimes at Continuing Ed, that kind of thing.

Cat food grant? Well- we'll have to find you the right angle...
let's see cat...

are you
1. disabled?
2. elderly?
3. a woman or minority?

any of those would help your sitation.. I think cat food grants are kinda hard to come by... Maybe we could work on your portfolio.

I'm coverd with fur... does that help? Are there any talking feline specific grants?

There's several involved, actually. Keep your eyes posted. You'll see something here soon enough.

MwahHAA haaa

Thatâ€™s cool Karine, a fellowship, wow I think writing well is a gift, you have or donâ€™t and you have it, I don't think I do

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:43 pm

A talking CAT, you say?! Hot dang!

This is gold mine!

I'll get right on it!

Now Iâ€™m real curious, will this vehicle have small mechanical components resembling the movements of ,.. say ,.. a sewing machine?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:50 pm

But you tell good tales, Z...

that's worth a lot to me.

What's that? sewing machine? Well....

Think like that...

But bigger.

hey waitaminute!!! Who've you been talking to, anyway? Has someone been leaking information?

(looks at karine)

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:52 pm

Apokoliptika will interogate you for leaking information, you know...

Not that I'm affiliated with them or anything.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:54 pm

I need to get working on some things,.. it seems a bunch of folks are doing spacesuits for Labwerks away missions, and Iâ€™m wondering if I took,.. well barrowed with out planning on returning, a little of the first surface plex mirror I have at work if I could thermal form a helmet face shield, without having the mirror surface separating from the plex the way normal plex mirror does. I have experiments to do

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:54 pm

I m sorry, sir - but the regulations of my apprentice union stipulate that I am unable to comment on said or unsaid "leak".

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:54 pm

I should discuss this with BBSue.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:56 pm

What leak? I hope it ain't one of the beer taps.

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:56 pm

Zulegoona... make a spacesuit !

We need a spaceman on our contraption ! I mean.. our... umh....

Space men are hot.

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:57 pm

There is, or was a french car that had a five cylinder engine that was just big enough to power a sewing machine. I saw one in high school shop. We had a hard time finding the engine and thought the car came in without one.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:59 pm

There is no leak. You have only been dreaming.

And with that thought, I too am heading off to sleepy land.

Goodnight friends and lurkers.

Thatâ€™s what Iâ€™m thinking really hot and some of the designs have environmental contraptions using ice, fans , and elaborate ducting to make wearing them bearable I donâ€™t what to go that route

just use lots of duct tape. Be sure to get the nuclear grade stuff though.

Well, if you will be warm at night - That is a GOOD thing.

oh - and a car run on a sewing machine engine??? I found this:

"Enrico Bernardi (1841-1919), a Professor of Hydraulic and Agricultural Machinery at the University of Padua, who built a car in 1884 that has laid claim to being the first car in the world. Bernardi â€™s engine was first used in 1882 to power a sewing machine and two years later to power his son â€™s tricycle to make it a self propelled vehicle." But I couldn't find the car...

hmmm....

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:04 pm

No I was just considering your possible collaborators, and there specific skill sets,... Good night my friend

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:06 pm

Just think, a slight twist in history and we could all be driving sewing machines.

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:06 pm

so maybe for night we light you up somehow, Z???

You are right, though - about the day time. Whoa... waaay hot.

I'm following the kitten prints pretty soon, ya'all.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:07 pm

I drive an old ford festiva it is almost as powerful as a sewing machine

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:09 pm

Maybe we could race them sometime.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:09 pm

Night Karine, I think Iâ€™ll head out too, have a good one BoxB

karine · Post by **karine** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:10 pm
