Hello and welcome to Art Juice. This is honest, generous and humorous conversations

that will feed your creative soul and get you thinking.

With me Alice Sheridan.

And me, Louise Fletcher.

I'm laughing reading that.

Because I want to talk about emails today

and I'm not sure that feeds my creative soul at all.

Oh, we'll be here. Can we talk instead about playing with raw canvas and doing your own

stretching? We'll save that for another week.

Okay, let me first give you a little introduction about why I thought I want to talk about emails today.

Because we could have also titled this

Don't panic Alice because last night at the end of a rather busy day I just had an urge that I needed to sign into my mailing list with Mailer Light. Don't know why, just sounds some kind of intuitive nudge.

And first of all I had problems logging in, which I thought was a bit weird, because I know

what my password is, and they send you a code and everything's fine.

Wouldn't let me in.

Anyway, then somehow I did manage to get in and all I could see on screen was a big banner that said

this account is closed. can upgrade to move a thousand people to a new free mail

a light account or pay and I thought well I am paying. Plus I can see all my people below but I couldn't do

anything and what was worse was this was 930 on Friday, on the 14th of February, and it said,

you have until the 15th of February to do something about this.

Or I presume they would delete everyone. Right, so yeah, quite a little bit of panic here. What I finally figured out was I pay for my Mailer Light account a year at a time because it's a little bit cheaper that way.

They haven't sent me a reminder for payment. I don't know what date it renews.
