Thanks all: The problem is my husband - who has a very good job but is so tight he squeaks - believes that my art and my horse are a waste of time and money because I make no money doing either. These are my only hobbies and the only things I spend money on. I always worked, but lost my job when the economy went south here in Michigan because of the recession and the downfall of the US automotive industry. We have the worst unemployment rate in the US. Being 56 does not help in the job search, either, especially since Michigan law got rid of affirmative action which made discrimination illegal. Now employers can discriminate all they want to. I have enough Poser stuff to last for years, but horses are so much a part of my life that if I have to sell him I think I will curl up and die. Really depressed here, thanks for your advice. Sherrie
