hello from Victoria BC Canada!

Post by Pamazon »

hi from Canada, mostly I'll be lurking and reading, but I may have a question or two along the way.

I have been a framer for 25+ years only for 3 shops over that time period. I have changed shops recently and find myself having to do more sport jersey framing,
I have framed a few jerseys, a long time ago, so I need to brush up on things, that's my first thing to search for! plus now I have a Wizard mat cutter, when I had a
Eclipse cutter in the old shop.

I am a married female with a teenage daughter, I love to cook (and eat) do needlework, read and watch t.v.

Thanks for having me!
Pam

Hi Pam,
Welcome to the Framers Forum. :o

Not sure if you realise, but this is primarily a UK/ Europe forum.
In USA and Canada you also have the GRUMBLE - http://thegrumble.com/forum.php which you might find more suited geographically, as many more posters from your part of the world. Also I think Sports jerseys are a much bigger thing in ASA / Canada

But you are still hugely welcome here. :o

Welcome Pam. :D

Nice part of the planet you live on. :P Do get yourself over to the Grumble as Keith suggests. They might appear to be a bunch of idiots, but they do have a vast knowledge about everything framing related. :lol:

thanks for the warm welcome. I did not know when I signed up that this was a Brit board. I had been signed up on the grumble but forgot my password, then I tried to re-register but I am stumped by the "random question" so I can not even register. This is the question, What one word describe your framing samples on your wall? C__n_r . You might think the answer is "corner" by the hint they supply but when I enter this they say it is wrong. Anyone think of something else??

Again, thanks for the welcome, I can still get a good read from a lot of the posts, and your slang terms/language crack me up!!

ttfn

Welcome Pam!

I'll copy and paste your problem on TFG.


I have a friend that lives in Canada - Simon Hunt is his name, don't suppose you know him?

Perhaps tha answer is case sensitive in which case Corner, corner and CORNER would all be different.

Thanks Roboframer, I recognize your name from the grumble, can you search for me and tell me what my user name s on the grumble? it's pamazon42 I think, but I'm a lot closer to 50 now and I forget. my profile picture is of 3 fishing floats carved into faces. I posted a bit on the grumble. The random question / answer things was SO frustrating!! oh, and your friend in Canada, I thiink I know him, he lives in Toronto right? :giggle:

Your Username is just 'Pamazon' - The Grumble are of the same opinion - that the word is case-sensitive. I put the thread in the members only section so a link would be no good. Have given them the link to this thread though.
