    that's why, when an application has a line for 'space preference', i
    always answer "next to or near other jewelers." 

    but in answer to your other well thought out points, the lowest
    piece i have is $100.00 and there wouldn't be enough impulse buying
    mothers to make it worthwhile. plus, the likelihood of being seen by
    one or more of the people who have seen me in the artists' section
    all the other years is great and any explanation i could give would
    sound weak and i wouldn't want to get drawn into the long version of
    this mess - a short version might make them wonder what i really did
    to warrant demotion. 

    as to retribution for ms shani, over the years when people cause, or
    try to cause, problems for me without provocation they are already on
    a self made downward spiral and i just wait for the crash. it almost
    always comes. lastly, i am forced to be calm about the injustice done
    to me: i've run out of pencils. 

thanks for the input -
ive
