Hi Everybody --

Thanks to Julie for the tip about the controller in the foot pedal.

I just flashed on another aspect to starting a business. What does one do
about health insurance? Are there any group plans out there for potters or
artists? It occurred to me that is a very important aspect of doing business
that I haven't seen discussed yet. Any info would be helpful...:-)

You might have luck with the local Chamber of Commerce. Ours offers (dues
paying) Members of the Chamber in small or even individual cases to buy
health maintenance insurance. You might also check with your local or
state arts council...to see if they have an "OPEN ENROLLMENT" plan. Health
insurance is changing daily (Read Koop's AP story today?) HMO s and
Doctor's plans are a burgeoning business. Groups with common interests can
often buy a plan cheaper than an individual of course....unless it is a
group of skydivers maybe?
