Sorry to hear of all your troubles, Ann, but glad you are physically Ok. Café press sound like all the others who make a buck and then just let their users down badly.

Happily, I wsa able to bathe at a neighbor's but it was quite an adventure. Then I thought I had more money than I do -- discovering I had made a $100 mistake in my checking account after having, in a way, spent some of it... Next I took a tumble on the subway stairs (fortunately, the second step from the bottom inside the station) and while I didn't break anything and there was a plethoria of millenials surrounding me to help, (new entry for Exaultaion of larks?) I got bruised and hurt my leg to the extent that I'm using a cane and an ace bandage today ... nothing broke. This was all after I took Ashley to the vet - and the good news there is she is in fine shape for an 12 year old but it was costly to find that out. Then.... then ... well, read below - I posted this to Facebook but most of you are not there . "Still in shock from learning yesterday that cafe press (which has about twenty of my wall calendars for sale) is removing wall calendars from the list of products they offer. bad enough they have taken "wall calendar" off the list of products designers for them can select to work on, but they are gradually removing the CURRENT wall calendars from our shops and the market place. Adding insult to injury, there was no warning of this in the form of an alert or announcement - I stumbled on it when I was going to tweak the wording on the landing page of my shop https://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff The nice thing about having my calendars on cafepress for the past ten years is that the template is renewed for each new year so someone who might want to buy an older calendar can do it. The calendar grid is well designed, straightforward and very user friendly for those who really do use them (as I do) for keeping track of to do's and did do's in a medium which is permanent and not subject to viruses, crashes, accidental deletions. Anyone I told about this so far has simply gasped and in audio caps said "WHY????" . So, for one thing, if anyone want's to grab any of these before they are dead it would be appreciated, but it might be even more helpful, in terms of getting them to drop this bad idea, if you simply bitched to them about it, or tried to order one of the wall calendars that have already been suddenly made unavailable. If you clicked on the /Twelve National Parks, Bouquet or New York Details/, those are already gone as wall calendars. If any of you (I know some of you are on cafe press too) have wall calendars up do give them your input. Please share with anyone you know who has any calendars by anyone that were produced by cafe press , or would want wall calendars in the future from anyone and might help to encourage them to reinstate the wall calendar format . Thanks guys, for reading, this really shook me up. " ---- bay photo makes calendars but they cost too much, Lulu is reasonable but they are not for people who actually write on them - as you know if you got the PDML calendars that look pretty but have no real boxes for each day... anyone got any ideas? My self production was a disaster, too much work, printer problems, virtually little profit. sigh, ann annsan.smugmug.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
