Thank you, Mary!
-
hands a steaming mug of coffee good to see you Sir Knight
-
Remember to keep your mugs under keys for a while, or they maybe will disappear in our corridors.
The winds :blownaway: are always blowing around, and that until all is fully back.
-
Thanks for the coffee, Fafnir. It's been a while. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Aelin, I'll try to be temperate in my postings but if they're lost, it won't worry me.
Happy New Year to all!
-
I just prefer to remember, in case somebody misses the message in the top of the pages. And I bet we will have some :tearlaugh:
I wish we would already be able to post more, because I have a lot of things to catch on in new topics!
EDIT: And yes, finally I passed the cap, and tried to say hello to our newest member before the move.
-
:glittery: I Hope You all had a Great Christmas and New Years! Waiting for the Snow that they keep telling me will be here?! o.O
-
Hello
Hope everyone is doing fine.
Looks like we are getting back a little bit of a time. Having worked on Apache servers by remote or ftp, I can understand going from server to another can take some time especially with all the archives this site has. Also things change from version to a newer version of software and there is a learning curve to overcome sometimes too. So I am happy with this and will be patient.
:i-beback:
-
LOL! Oh how we WISH 'growing old' were an (O)ption !!!!! :woohoo:
Thanks for that COFFEE! Fafnir, much needed!
-
Ahhhh, so for the time being, we have the choice of LIGHT BRIGHT! or BRIGHT LIGHT! board theme, right?
Oh so what! It is SO GREAT to see you guys again! Happy New Year everybody!
-
Happy New Year all. Glad to see some familiar faces
-
Good to see you, McG!
Happy New Year, parkdalegardener!
-
Good morning guys!
Since last night, I see a little difference in the basic white theme. Nothing about the colors, nope. It's the text near the top avatar which now is centered. Step by step... and no, promise I won't start to sing :iminnocent:
-
Looks like more of the gallery is back for me but I still can't comment without a database error.
I know: I've been warned. :woohoo:

We know, Wizzard signaled it in that topic: A word about our gallery and store. (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23734.msg403125#msg403125)
I tested a comment on a hidden image of DarkAngel yesterday, I had the message. Will maybe take time to correct that. But as longer as the comments come, I'm glad :yes: Even if the message makes us think firstly the message is lost in internet limbs :tearlaugh:
If forum itself continues to behave, tomorrow I'll do one or two generalistic topics for freebies. Not yet new topics for a lot of things.
-
Nice to see us back

Good luck with the hunt!
Mary sent an announcement for the quoted topic. I know I received it, but maybe it's not the case to everyone. Or you have so much emails that one was lost in the middle :tearlaugh:
I'm almost gone of web for tonight.
Have a great end of day guys!
-
Wonderful to have the Aelin end of day message again!
-
Good Afternoon folks! (slurps coffee!) :glittery:
-
Good to see you too Sir Knight! Missing some of November, all of December and a bit of January, I was having serious withdrawals!!!
-
O.o So far have not seen any of mine that are missing But have not gone through the Past Contests but did run a Search and did not see anything missing.
-
Hoi McG, aye I missed our family as well. But things are getting brighter once again. 8 )
Cheers

Well at least we can hang out in the coffee shop again!
-
:woohoo: Greetings and Hallucinations, one and all. Nice to see that the Attic is returning to a semblance of normalcy - or as normal as one can get 'round here. Couldn't believe it when I attempted to log in and didn't get anything. Nada. Zip Zilch. Nuttin' Honey. Still working on a couple of posts but will wait until site is properly settled.
:sno7: woke up this AM and found that it had snowed and was still snowing as the day wore on, OY!!!!
-
Mornin' to you all coffee and cocoa are ready with plenty rye rum and bourbon the Girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and later on they serving up prime rib with all the fixings
-
Good morning! Good to see more of the coffee shop clan gathering. And it's good to hear that a coffee shop breakfast is available.
-
Coffee with a shot of rye. Breakfast of Champions. Thanks Fafnir. Mornin' all.
-
Good morning guys!
Wonderful to have the Aelin end of day message again!
I wanted to wait a bit before to be sure the dustbunnies didn't eat those messages :tearlaugh:
But :thud: before the number you showed in your attachment. Even a :OMG: is necessary!
O.o So far have not seen any of mine that are missing But have not gone through the Past Contests but did run a Search and did not see anything missing.
When the gallery will be back again, go on one of your latest images. Click on your name (must be in a yellow/gold color in the gallery). You arrive on a page where you have the choice at your left with your images to see; at your right, all the comments you did.
Basically, each of us has an url ended with
uid=in the gallery. Your member number is behind the = sign.
Hipshot, I'm glad you are ready to hallucinate one more year with us :iminnocent:
I'm ready to try a first new topic for freebies. Maybe a second in the day. Nothing wonderful, probably a lot of things you know already.
-
Me too Darlin' Aelin. Have been successful so far about not going totally bonkers. Just good to know that the dust bunnies have not taken over completely. Think I'll wander on over to Fafnir's for some of that good coffee. Not usually known as a drinkin' man, but might try some of that well fortified elixir.
-
By the By. Was hoping to get into the Grand Gallery by New Year's eve, but you can see where that went. Still tryin' though
:woohoo:
-
got plenty of the good fortified coffee waiting Hipshot
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
rest well Aelin
-
Good to see some of our people have returned!
-
Thanks Fafnir. Might try a bit, but getting on to midnight, so I'm going light. Nice to see all my friends back here. Be even better when we get the site fully up.
Let the madness ensue!!!!! :woohoo: :pervy:
-
morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and fo later on there will be fried red snapper with hushpuppies coleslaw and baked beans
-
Morning.. Still not getting the gallery to check on things yet. And a quick question... Anyone know of a script to move something to world center . Messing with Stonemasons clouds and when I scale them they end up so far the map it takes forever to get them back to map. XYZ axises kissing 6 digits they are so far off.
-
Mornin' all. I'll take one of your tasty biscuits with my coffee this am please. Hope everyone is doing well.

I think I call that you use Studio. This one does, I think, but you wouldn't guess it from its name:

Good morning, PDG!
-
Good morning guys!
The moves of stuff in DS4 became problematics for me after version 4.6 I think. Before and until that version, I could move things without issues, even changing the hierarchy. Since, everything jumps everywhere when I link or unlink stuff.
SOrry if today I have cutted words. Keyboards is in war this afternoon, I need to click letters several times by moments. :odd:
-
I think that has something to do with the forum rather than your keyboard. Or at least the problem seems to be here, too.
-
had to g back and correct my post his mornin think it is the forum not yor keyboard
see what i mean
-
Yep, I see. I have the same problem, either partial words, or 2 words glued together and one can be partial :panic:
I just wrote to Mary by PM. And used Notepad to go faster.
I'm not sure, maybe it's the installation of a package for the forum which went wrong somewhere.
-
Teething pains in the.....
As the forii and gallery are worked on, minor glitches are expected, I'm just happy we're back together again.
8 )
Cheers
-
I will look into it, I noticed he "glued" words too and thought it was my fingers getting tired. Not sure if it is the form cause I have this issue in Gmail, and everywhere I go lately.
I will be uploading a fresh database and I think your new images will need replacing folks.
My main problem also is when I go from one paragraph to another to type again, I have to hit the enter key 2-3 times or do the little button with the arrow to write it there then click it again to get the main pe again and have it display right.
-
Not too worry. You got this. Waiting patiently for the site to get with it When all's finally settled, need to talk about some prizes hat I have yet to collect. Had other things going and then the site crash dived so .... it is what it is. :whattodo:
-
Thanks Knight. Will give it a try. Only caught it when I did a top view and went WTF ...lol.
As for gallery keep getting a fatal error message when I try to look.
-
Mary will work on gallery as soon as she can. But maybe we posted too much too fast for the poor location?
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin. I have been posting on FB group for now so no big deal.
-
Good morning guys!
I see the forum decided to be written huge, but I don't care, I have not to put my face near screen on our site at least :tearlaugh:
I'm writting from Notepad, to contourn the problem of typo. It seems we haven't find yet from where the issue appeared. But we already removed one possibilty from our list!
I'm not sure I can stay a long time today, at least not before tonight. Indeed, we have works in the building, and for hamsters we need to put them in central room, where is the internet box. But the box isn't good for babies, so they are top priority to protect them from noises. Cats sleep and don't care about them :tearlaugh:
-
Morning Aelin. Finally a notifies caught up to the time.
-
Mornin to you all there is coffee and cocoa the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and or later on there will be grilled pork chops with all the fixings
-
Excellent end of day guy!
-
Pleasant dreams Aelin
-
That does it. Going over to Fafnir's. Biscuits and BACON!!!! :woohoo: .
-
BTB. Haven't seen much of "J". Got something in the works for him. Hopefully, he is still lurking about.
-
I've seen him in his work entertainment thread fairly recently.
Have a good night, Aelin!
-
Yep, we lurk around getting ready to scribble a bit in the work thread as there has been so much fun going on in the daily
-
nite Aelin rest well
-
:woohoo: Finally. Getting to see all the regulars. Still a few AWOL though. Should be coming through shortly. Also noticed that the words aren't sticking together of dropping out of sync as they had been. Sweet,
:ty01: for all your hard work.
-
Good afternoon guys!
Sorry for not being here earlier, but we had another day with works in the building. Tomorrow the same. Except today was a day just at our door :hypno: Only one of hamsters was a little under shock. I hope she will be ok. Cats didn't care.
So we manage to be one or the other at home. But no internet during the time where hamsters are in the box room. Tomorrow I'll probably come like today.
Neighbors knew about those works. Apparently, the land lord forgot to give us papers about that when we signed :shrug:
Great to see we can write like before :grenade:
And I see J finally changed his avatar :tearlaugh:
-
I wish you all an excellent end of day. See you tomorrow in my evening I think.
-
Pleasant dreams Aelin. Treats for the furry children.
Cheers
-
And I see J finally changed his avatar :tearlaugh:
Only because my one of Kianna is to large to upload but just you wait, once she gets done cavorting about with Luffie she will be back to wow and impress you all with her beauty, charm and grace
-
not to mention her snaketecals
-
Should be interesting. Nice to see you back J. Got a little something for you. Been working on a render from Panzer Girls. A nice bit of cheesecake and tech.
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be island pig that been cooked overnight in underground lava rock oven with all the trimmings
-
Good afternoon guys!
I see between the page before we log in, and once we have logged in, it's like the difference between day and night. I like to have again a dark theme :dancingknight:
Normally, the works in the building are over :grenade: Great, because the noise isn't funny. And hamsters started today to enough of a human presence with them, even if they appreciate to be reassured when the noise came.
Only because my one of Kianna is to large to upload but just you wait, once she gets done cavorting about with Luffie she will be back to wow and impress you all with her beauty, charm and grace
3 words seem weird when we are talking of Kianna :tearlaugh:
Believe it or not, but not seeing her like your avatar, it's strange, and she would almost miss.
-
Good afternoon, Aelin. Glad to hear the hamsters are not longer having to listen to unexpected noises.
The dark theme is certainly welcome!
-
Oh, the only noises are back to normal for here. We have a couple of elders above. The woman is something you can call a Harpy! Since the beginning of the year, not a day without screams against her husband (a man with handicap) - and at the end of afternoon she insulted the woman doing housecleaning for them. For we are able to hear that, it's she screamed very loudly.
But those are noises we can all manage, including hamsters. If not, we put them a sweet music they like to hear.
Even with that, it's so much calm compared to where we were before :woohoo:
I'm almost out for tonight. Have all an excellent end of day.
-
The darker theme IS welcome! I will repeat what all have expressed, in that I am so glad the Attic is back at all! Good to see everyone.
-
Amen to that McG. The dark theme is really nice, compared to the glaringly bright theme. Things should be getting back on an good footing before too long so we can all get back to having fun. Well, work too, but its still fun.
-
will be glad when everything is back to normal i will
-
Morning coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on they doing prime rib on the grill/smoker with all the trimmings
-
You just reminded me I am almost out. Morning..
-
well now you got coffee Mornin Noshoba
-
How wonderful to come online and find Fafnir has already offered coffee hours before. It feels like home! Thank you, Fafnir!
And thank you very much Aelin for continuing to keep us up to date in other places and to Mary for all of her great work.
-
Good morning guys!
Well, I'm trying my best, but not really to date myself :tearlaugh:
Like we are back to talk about everything in our good Coffee Shop.
Last weekend, I went to a clearance sale, for an association. Obviously they are doing that each month.
Well, I found 4 big books for just €2 each! They are 4 of a collection of 7. I didn't see the 3 others, but maybe next time? The books aren't really sorted on the shelves, and I found those behind many other books, just lying.
Looking around web, I found the collection in reality must cost something like $180!
The books are on History, and even if they are from 1971, and some discoveries were made since, they are pretty interesting. Even, written in a less oriented way than now.
The missing parts are the book on America, Asia and Africa; the Renaissance; and the History since XIX century.
The hardest part was to take back the books. They weight a lot :tearlaugh: But do a walk with them in bags on your shoulders, and you make a lot of sport :psycho:
-
I remember once 20 years ago taking a collection of books to sell in New York. An hour on the train and an hour walk to the book store with a back pack full of books. It was indeed good exercise, too!
-
:hypno: I bet it was!
-
your welcome Sir Knight dog woke me up at 4:00 this morning to go out to potty and i had gone to bed at 1230 so i see a nap this afternoon
-
I believe Molly and I are on the same schedule. And I have to say that a nap already sounds most welcome!
-
I remember back in the day (early 90's) when I used to pare down the library and donate books to the local library or university.
Took a car to do so, the "saw that coming part" I only knocked the library down to 600 volumes.
And now well, I no longer do things like that and have put serious weight on in the library :tearlaugh:
:luvbooks: 3,462 :luvbooks:
-
I was paring down the books so that we could move to our new house. I'd already finished the study for which I had bought that collection and was facing the need for a second moving van to make the move. I gave a lot of other books to the local library and once the books that I took to New York were gone, I could move in just two vans. :OMFG: :thud:
-
I shudder to think how bad it would be to try and move, when I was about to lose my place due to the economy dump and I lost my previous job (2008) I had sort of started packing up my books to put in storage. Only got the second and part of the third bedroom packed and was at 30 boxes (medium size) and that was just books only ... "shudder" fortunately things turned around and I dodged that "alternate time line."
-
I'm glad that you did not have to try. I learned a lot about how unstable a moving van can be when it's loaded high with boxes of books.
Your count is much higher than the last time that I checked. Do you have new series or authors that you have enthusiasm for?
I've just finished the Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson that I quite enjoyed.
-
Been getting and working into the TBR stack, the hard science ones by authors like Michio Kaku, and Carlo Rovelli, just recently added the Knowledge in a Nutshell series, only have the one on Astrophysics and Quantum Physics at the moment. Found an interesting one yesterday called "The Invention and Discovery of the 'God Particle' Higgs" looking forward to reading it.
Been catching up on the Cthulhu Casebooks a Sherlock Holmes alternate story line by James Lovegrove.
Currently reading the Shadwell Shadows
... and of course keeping up on the manga series I enjoy
-
Did someone mention coffee? :coffee3:
-
Maybe :iminnocent:
-
I heard :sake:
-
Hmm think response got lost in the aether. Just finished the caffeine run now back to posing Tabby's tail lol

I miss the plugin that shows an image for YouTube videos.
This is one of Robots (the term was invented this month 100 years ago by Karel Capek) dancing to "Do You Love Me?"

-
The Mod will sooner or later be added to the forum. I know it's compatible, but between that and add it to the code, there is a step to pass - and if possible without the forum going elsewhere :tearlaugh:
I admit I listen easier the music on forum than running on youtube directly. Specially now the thing decides to play the list in the right column without my permission :sure:
And it takes less memory to work on my comp.
-
Oh, I'm not complaining. When the sidebar showed up today for me, I did this: :grenade: (Well, maybe not with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.) It really was just that I missed it. Having dancing robots is just cool.
-
In fact the block was there, but not yet activated for all parts of forum. I had to go back to the Index page for 2 or 3 links too.
And why not the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? It's the moment to live dangerously! :tearlaugh:
-
Oh, I certainly do that. 3000 undergraduates returning to campus this week. Should be exciting!
-
Yours can be back at least. Here, students are starting to talk of riots just to have the right to have what they payed for. And also because more and more are doing suicide with that situation.
Excellent end of day guys! Wind is blowing here.
-
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I hope that the wind doesn't turn out to be a problem. Have a great evening!
-
:lostme: Wow Students all over are having problems!
Anyway anyone see thelufias around? o.O
-
Haven't seen him about, Thought he was logged in a few days ago... but not really sure. I'll keep an eye out.
I see Nosh and Dream made it back, as well as Hip and Parkdale. Slow and sure the family's getting back.
Cheers
-
He's active in some of the other places that I am connected to him. Perhaps he's waiting until things settle down.
-
good luck with the under grads
-
Faf, the strawberries will be delivered in the morning, let the girls know,
8 )
Cheers
-
good luck with the under grads
Thanks. I'm not worried at all.
-
i will let them know
-
Whew!!!!!! Finally got logged in. That took a little work. Things still lookin' good, except for the light colored opening page. Now just kicking back and takin' it easy. But in the AM ..... BACON!!!
-
Why wait till the morning
BACON
Good anytime
-
Oh now I have to be boring and state that I have downloaded the damnable tax forms.
-
Oh by the way I too have the fun and enjoyment of the new semester starting on Jan. 20th and this semester we are using a new textbook ... interesting is such a mild word ... don't you think
-
Why wait till the morning
BACON
Good anytime
I second that motion!!! Great flavor! Excellent with PIZZA! too!
-
Hi, parkdalegardner. I have the same inclination. I also periodically copy all of my data from older media to newer media in addition to keeping old hardware. That was easier when it was megabytes. Now that it's terabytes, it's getting harder with the same 1 Gig network to move stuff the old machine that can read it to the new machine with the new media writers. I was sure that having CD's and DVD's would last a long time. Now newer machines don't come with even DVD drives unless you special order them.
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon and there are fresh strawberries the girls are serving them with whipped cream and there is strawberry shortcake too for later on there will be fried fish with hushpuppies cole slaw and BBQ beans
-
Good morning guys!
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I hope that the wind doesn't turn out to be a problem. Have a great evening!
It was finally a lullaby :tearlaugh: But at least I have no more to be worried by the roof above my head. The top of the building is several floors above me.
TL is very busy in his daily life. And I suspect he is trying to escape Kianna, now she is released in corridors and no more visible on some avatars :iminnocent:
And I see DarkAngel worked again on stuff here, like videos are back :cheer:
-
In addition to less noisy building mates, a much improved location within the building. :woohoo:
I don't think I noticed the Giveaway of the Day yesterday, either. Much progress!
Do you know if the new font size is going to continue? I like being able to read without squinting. :tearlaugh:
-
Behind your helmet, you are worse than a woman :tearlaugh:
I don't know, but I think Mary has decided to keep that size like that one seems staying.
And yes, Mary was more busier than a tiny bee.
-
Behind your helmet, you are worse than a woman :tearlaugh:

If you desire, you can also continue the talk in the Computer Help Section (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?board=228.0) , even if there isn't a full asking for help. And all or part of teh talk can be probably moved in too.

Have fun guys! I must confess not being a crazy computer girl, I'm completley lost in what you told :tearlaugh: :shrug: But it's always interesting for those ready sooner or later to follow your path :deal:

Thank you, Aelin. It looks great! :Hi5:

Strawberry shortcake...... nummy Thanx Faf
Cheers

I was in one of our lost steps room for the rest of the evening, not so far away of dungeons. Crazy area :panic: :tearlaugh:
Excellent end of day guys!

Have a great evening, Aelin. Tomorrow is a US holiday for some.
-
Have a great evening, Aelin. Tomorrow is a US holiday for some.
Tis a holiday for myself so another day off with pay, so calling that a win
However the new semester starts on Wednesday ... but the good news is that I still have PTO to use, which means I will be off Thursday and Friday.
So a two day work week :tearlaugh:
-
Now I just have to be motivated enough to do something besides read and render. :ifonly:
-
Me too, I should do some planning for the new semester instead of reading and rendering for fun
Oh by the way "sheees back"
Isn't she adorable ... oh by the way, the answer you are looking for is YES
:pervy:
-
Did do some off the wall cooking of new recipes, granted I cook all the time but went out on the limb and did some "outside the box" for a change.
-
Tell us! Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Indeed I do all my experimental cooking on Sundays as well.
BTW J ashame you dont use Genesis 3 or 8... Saw something on rendo that would be perfect for Kianna lol.

Dredzilla adorable is questionable at best

Now for something to cleanse the viewing palate. Been having a Dalek marathon over the last couple of days starting with the very first appearance with William Hartnell. Up to Peter Davison and decided ... time for a break ... now showing

I certainly have in the past. Looking forward to trying them.

coffee and cocoa are ready with rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon and they got plenty of strawberries too for later on there will be slow smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmin's including hushpuppies
-
Thanks man; coffee and a shot. Skip the berries. They taste funny with the rye.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and parkdalegardner. Please ask the girls for bourbon in mine.
-
Good morning guys!
It's a pleasant sunny day to start the week, even if a little cold.
-
Morning all.
-
rye for PDG and bourbon for Sir Knight coming right up
-
Good morning, Aelin. The sun is just above the trees now.
Good morning, Noshoba. Were you looking for something in Studio? If so, did you find it?
Thank you, Fafnir. A good way to start the day.

No not at the moment. I was laughing when I was browsing Rendo.. And saw that texture addon. First thought was Kianna lol.
-
I remember now. "Move the world center script". Since you said you were OK, I'm guessing you resolved the problem one way or another.
-
Oh that.. I have it downloaded just havent needed to use it yet.
-
Sorry. Old man brain and customer support person mixed in the same entity. Just wanted to be sure you were OK. I'll mentally "close the ticket". :tearlaugh: :toast:

That sounds easier to keep reign on, then the old man brain, instructor brain and R56 brain that resides within my poor shell. :tearlaugh:

I wonder about our postal system.
Tracking packages of anime and manga goodness
Explains why on one hand it gets to Jacksonville and then to Orlando and to me
On others occasions it gets to Jacksonville and then to Lake Mary then to me
Then there are times I get the slow boat treatment, from Jacksonville to Lake Mary then Orlando then at long last me
WTF is the logic
-
Is it the same company who sends you the packs, or are they different? And are they same weight, or different each time?
I know here we can have at least 3 different path for the mails and for the packs. Don't ask me why, but all I see are the difference from sender, weight and even (for packs) the size.
Or maybe the central factories are overloaded, and mails and packs are sent in secondary places?
Excellent end of day guys!
-
It is all the Post Office, tis the only method of delivery this vendor uses. True it is a different weight each time but I find that to be a pretty weak excuse for how the packages are delivered.
-
Depends on the Trucking company that they are using Some out source so that your mail gets moved at the lowest cost to them so might be different end points from start based on the Bulk of the cargo goes here and the other is taken along for the ride to the close to the end point. :lostme:
-
Good grief doesn't seem very efficient to me
-
Not at all. Have had to deal with UPS for meds from VA and that can turn out to be a hell of a circus. Throw in the Postal Service and its even more fun. Had a late start today. Was able to sneak out while daughter catching zzzzzs. Got over to the local - one of them anyway - surplus stores and was finally able to pick up a set of cavalry hat cords to go with my black stetson. Also picked up crossed sabers and sergeant stripes. Not to mention finally getting my hands on a 3rd ACR cap.
:woohoo:
I know that might not mean much to a nonparticipant, but its nice to FINALLY find one. Now, if only I can find one for the 11th ACR. Now to get over to the Gallery .......
-
Dad was 49th Armored Division for a short time.
-
efficient from the postal service keep dreaming bring back the pony express better chance of gettin your mail on time
-
Dad was 49th Armored Division for a short time.
Cool Rad. I take it that he was WWII or Korea? And if at all possible, what type tank? Just curious. :thumb_up:
-
:lostme: Think it was around the late 80's Think M1A Was for Reservists.
-
Gotcha. Sorry, but I was thinking he was more old school. So I take it that he's in his 50-60s?
-
Whoa! Just checked with Micky. Getting a bit late and me and Connie have to be at the VA early in the AM. So, on that note, I will say good night all.
-
:lostme: 70ish He was a Nam Vet Was called back for some reason and they put him in Armor.
Flew Planes and they move you to armor? o.O Government?!
-
A quick good morning guys!
Or maybe that depends of the speed of wind and the age of captain, J :tearlaugh: All postal services are stupid, that a fact alas.
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled pork chops with sweet taters and green beans
-
Indeed I do all my experimental cooking on Sundays as well.
BTW J ashame you dont use Genesis 3 or 8... Saw something on rendo that would be perfect for Kianna lol.
I am all FOR using Genesis thru Genesis 8 . . . in POSER!!! :yippee:
Unfortunately we cannot do that with the full range nor in the full range of Poser versions. Sad, very sad. EPIC sad.
-
Morning.
Indeed McG. It would not be difficult to convert her to up to at G3F since I do have the aiko 3 character morph for her.
-
Why not convert to Genesis 2 Female? Looks as good as G3F and readily usable via DSON for Poser. Poser 11 and down to Poser 9 only though. I find G2 F/M with all the morph packs VERY usable and really versatile in form! They work delightfully in PP2014! I keep it installed specifically for mixing Genesis 2 and V4 (and other Figures) in one scene. PP 11 gives a lot of CTD's trying that.
BadMoonRYZEN!!!
-
Oh I was just giving an example. I do use all of them. It is just at G3 that they stopped doing morphs to bring the 3rd and 4th generation up the chain... Keiko 6 was my favorite of the G2 figures. I have her usable all the way up to G8 . Best way to avoid autofitting clothing all the time. Made sure to have the texture converters as well. Why I have Sparky's anthro skins saved for genesis generations from M/V4.

Guys, I heard "Maisons du monde" has started to sell products in USA. It's furnitures, decorations... for your home.
If I have an advice for you, avoid to take something to their internet site. It's a mess nowadays. They pretend they have products in stock, but they ask you wait 5 weeks before to receive you command. And they take immediately your money.
Then the 5 weeks pass, and nothing. Delivery passes to next week, then the week after, then...
Today, my grandma is always waiting, and Maisons du Monde pretends the problems comes to the delivery society... who once contacted prooves they received 1 of the 2 packs of the command. When Maisons du Monde pretends (and gives no proof) they sent the 2 packs.
It's in French, but on 5 stars, you can have an idea of the reputation in France
https://fr.trustpilot.com/review/maisonsdumonde.fr
Around 10 years ago, my grandma bought to them, and they were great.
Today, she decided to have her money back and let them know it.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin
-
That does not sound good Aelin. Or as we say here ... WTF?????? Think I would go elsewhere.
Note to Rad. So, your dad is my age, basically. (71)ish. I just missed the SE Asia Extermination Olympics .... me and a buddy got sent to Germany. Closest I ever came was when I went to Korea.
-
To Hipshot Ok Dad Said he was a Nam Era Vet So no in country for him that was My Uncle and Cousin Who where on the ground there.
He was a Gunner in a M60a1
His brother was M60a2 but most of the time was Driver for M113 For Tank Commander o.O
Anyway Dad injured his back When he was in the Airforce and was Discharged But the government not have Something Done right so they Sent him to Reserves Where he went into Tanks M60a1 then they sent him home after all the Paperwork was Done O.o
Was around 80 to 81 When this all happened. :thud:

Morning and Daz gave me a good laugh with its discription of the new G8.1 Female. And they werent lying since the download comes with the male bits
-
Good morning guys!
It's a windy day today, maybe to celebrate our "soldes" in France. But to find low prices, you have to look I don't know where (except for shoes), because it's not really done this year. I had a list of things I'll need sooner or later, but not discounted from a cent, nope. If you saw the face of the vendor behind the mask when I said "sorry, I found nothing at all" :tearlaugh: But no discount explains also why there is almost nobody on their car park today - it's a shop I see from my windows.
Often the "soldes" in France are partially in the same moment that the "white month" (for everything for bathroom and beds). But even that supposed month hasn't promotions this time.
So I don't know, either many shops took altogether the decision of no promotions, or very few promos for those who have ones. Or they just forgot the calendar. But if it's a common decision, it's a little counter productive, because population was waiting to profit a little of promotions; and I'm afraid those who took the habit to look sites like amazon decide to buy on because of that.
-
Morning and Daz gave me a good laugh with its discription of the new G8.1 Female. And they werent lying since the download comes with the male bits
There are no more genders according some idiots, so maybe we don't have to be surprised? :thud:
-
No but was funny as heck to read in description that the naughty bits will now work across both figures lol
-
Maybe that's payback for changing the UV maps. :lostme:
-
Well if they had stayed with the original genesis vs splitting back into separate genders would not have been a laugh. That change wasnt tech driven but vendor...they really hated making thing male compatible. Understandable since the female ridiculously outsells the male.

https://www.daz3d.com/merkava-tank (https://www.daz3d.com/merkava-tank)
Nice. Unfortunately, its for Daz Studio. Hopefully, they can make one for Poser, now that it belongs to Rendo.
Nice to hear that I wasn't the only one to get the big green weenie. I was trained on the M48 (last of the gasser MBTs), transitioned to the M60, M30a1/A3. Was even trained for the M60A2, but the weenies at the Puzzle Palace decided to end their love affair with the system before I got sent back to Germany. Ended up in an Engineer unit on either the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle, or the AVLB.
-
Guys, I profit I'm back online to wish you an excellent end of day already. Because for few minutes, we had the power shutted down by the storm. Not sure if it will stay now or not.
-
Aelin you might want to look into a Battery Backup for your Computer and your Electronics in General if you have spotty power.
-
Hi, Aelin. I hope that your power has stayed on. Snowed here today for a little bit. Lots of wind and that sometimes knocks our power out.
-
For me, it took a UPS for the computer, a UPS for the Internet router and a UPS for the place where the Internet connects to my house to keep things up. :sure:
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Yes, I live...and it looks like I won't have to ask for a full refund from Gator....yet.....but I'm hoping they will agree to give us a extra month in our lease since it took that much time to get things going. (Yes, I'm a dreamer)
Finally, Politics are done with....and I don't have to avoid all the BS that goes along with it anymore.
Now if Covid will allow Clinics to operate correctly....I'll be on a fast track with that part of life also LOL.....
But in the meantime...it's good to be home....with :java: in hand

Hooray! TL is back! :dualknight:

Good Evening To all......
Glad to see we are making headway.....
Gotta give a shout out to Mary......GOOD JOB.....
I'll keep you on the payroll.....Oh wait....I don't pay anyone.....
How about a WOOHOO instead? :java:
-
Wow...gotta work on the font it seems..... :lostme:
-
There, That's better....
-
And thanks for the Welcome Back Sir Knight, Rad, Noshoba, Wizzard, Aelin, Mary, and Spooky the Friendly Ghost...who I know is messing with my font while invisible...
-
good to see you back Luffie now watch out for dredzilla
-
I'm hoping she got lost in the shuffle my friend....Thanks for the phone calls and updates....it helped....
Now for some more :java: and more catching up....
-
:lostme: Should we Start a Poll for the Next Contest or Wait a bit more?
-
Working on something for the contests. I'd like to make up for missed contests so I've got a plan....Will be back with more info once the brain and I agree on the results...and of course...the other admins will be included in the conversation....
-
Good morning guys!
Just a quick hello before I'm back this afternoon. Storm has stopped.
For the contest things, we wait for you oh great guru
:allhail:
-
morning coffee and cocoa are ready with plenty rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked ham with sweet taters and sliced roasted carrots
-
Morning. Not sure why I am.having to fix the fonts
-
Good Morning to all.
Noshoba....I thought I had to fix the font each time also but found that
-
It comes out right even if it's tiny while typing....and darn...I forgot my red on the first one...
-
:whatthe: I don't have tiny letters when writting messages.
But your red on the present theme are difficult to see by moments and I nedd to underlign them with cursor.
-
Hummmm, I'm using Blue Moonlight and it's fine....how odd. Is that the same theme you used before?
-
Sounds like a bit of a prob Aelin. In any case, welcome back Luffie. Missed your contributions to the insanity that runs crampant.
-
Anyone else having problems with my RED
-
snicker
-
Morning HS.....Insanity is a gift that few treasure. I'm glad this group enjoys and embraces it.... Even if I AM the self declared "SANE ONE"
RIght "Snickers"?
-
I'll reply in WHITE for a bit until I see if Aelin can see my red again. I enjoy Red....
-
Hummmm, I'm using Blue Moonlight and it's fine....how odd. Is that the same theme you used before?
No, before I used the basic FA theme we had (visible from outside and inside forum).
Now, it's "BR Final". I never was so good with a "Blue Moonlight".
FA theme was darker, but not too much for eyes.
-
So how does the RED look now....
-
So how does the RED look now....
The same than a moment ago.
And I see our admins names in the same red, and all I know first is that one of us is around :tearlaugh:
-
vote for white red ain't to good
-
Then WHITE it shall be....I'll just use RED to emphasis things.....Sound Good...?????
-
A number of us need a darker theme, due to eye thingies. With the older themes, coloured typing wasn't much of a prob. however, Insideous uses a blue-grey background, which causes some difficulty with red.
Mayhaps orange or yellow as an alternative? typo a line in each, see what you think.
Cheers, I'm just happy everyone's getting back.
-
I leave you for now guys. The hamsters are waiting for their good cleanup time.
I'm back if I can. Day is disminishing, and storm back in the same time :lostme:
-
Have a fun day Aelin.....
I'm in the middle of figuring out our contests and what I'm going to do. Got some ideas...but I have to see what we have for prizes......
I woke up to 8 degrees yesterday morning and 4" of Snow. At least I can still shovel now...though slowly LOL....But I enjoy it...it's a good Winter Exercise if you dress warm and take plenty of breaks.
-
and don't over do with the shoveling
-
Nope....I don't......the snow before this one was WET AND HEAVY so I got the Snow Jo out for that..... This snow was light and fluffy due to it being 8 degrees....so it was a easy shovel....
-
Shoveling snow???? Just not in my world view. Unless of course the weather weenies get a lot weirder that they have been recently. Plenty of rain though, and more in the forecast.
:rainy:
Of course, ridin' in the rain can be fun. Try on a 74 Suzuki Water Buffalo, no rain suits and in central Florida.
:woohoo: .......... in the middle of summer.
-
I wasn't in the rain...but I enjoyed my ride in Florida...2002 CCFM Conference (Catholic Conference for Facility Management). As you can tell...we worked hard
-

Seconded on the "no snow" thank ye kindly.
As to driving in the rain, most memorable one was driving back from orientation at Disney in December with no rain coat, on at the time the Honda 500 - 4 cylinder , all the way back to Fern Park @9:00 pm
Spent the next thirty minutes in a hot shower trying to get back to normal body temperature. :thud:
-
TL, I'm sure Kienna hopes to see you sooner doing that again so close of her home :ifonly:
-
Thanks TL .
No snow plenty of rain. We still have a limit on number of gallery uploads lol. Also are notifies working for any comments they receive?
-
less bugs flying then but rain should be warm not cold
-
A little on chilly side. Not bad to me but everyone else lol. 6 years in Rochester NY enjoying lake effect snow kind of toughens you up.
-
TL, you look younger than me. I'm almost 64. No you don't have to reveal your age. I'm just happy that you are out and about in the Southeastern U.S., and it looks like you are having fun! never let your age slow you down, if you are able, and it looks to me like you're more able than I am!
Cheers!
-
Those shots were taken 19 years ago.....I was 51 then.....
-
TL, I'm sure Kienna hopes to see you sooner doing that again so close of her home :ifonly:
LOLOL.....Believe me...this was way before she was around...thankfully....
-
At that age, I was bigger and heavier. Would not have been able to do what you did at that age. As I am now losing weight, I would like to try it again this summer.
-
Ah the fun of reinstalling everything on a new computer
-
The only bad thing that happened that day was the top of my head turning beet red and not realizing it until I took a shower when I got back to the Motel Room....they could hear my scream a mile a way :tearlaugh:
-
Ah the fun of reinstalling everything on a new computer
The programs are what took most of my time. Everything else I keep on my externals....but yes...time consuming indeed. But in the end...a big YAHOOOO will be heard from you LOL....

I would love to shift all my content to an external just don't have the funds for one right now and am not using my backup one for it.
Still I got smart and copied my whole content folder to the backup so just copy and past to the new computer lol
-
Darn got excited when I accidently clicked on the freebie section at Daz. Thought I was going to get a freebie after all these months. Then I remembered I own all the G3F pro bundles so already had the starter bundle lol.
-

Dontcha hate that? lol
-
Since November, freebies are working strangely on Daz. Yesterday, I was ready to create a new topic for G8.1, when it turned for not free. Guess it was the PC+ freebie which was free for everyone wih celerity during that time.
And when you look the biweekly freebies (yes tonight I have to change the list :thud: ) you see in that list now permanent freebies :shrug:
Dreamer, I understand you a lot.
Don't you have old internal disk from a died computer that you can use like external?
-
At least you look to see if you have it.....I just download them and if I have dups or triplets or more...I just keep the latest download LOLOL....depending on which folder I put the stuff in... :thud:
-
Dontcha hate that? lol
Very much so
Have to wait til they start throwing the G8 starters in there. Havent bought half as many of the bundles for those. Only bought the first Victoria 8.1 one to activate all the bits not just the assets. The body hair and eye tear as well.
-
Aelin anyone get it by just reinstalling default resources and the essentials for G8. Still was annoying though.
-
I don't know. I just have my runtimes (1 DS3, 1 DS4, 1 Poser 10, 1 Poser11) on the external. And in another part of external, the zipped folders - because yes, it happened I forgot a piece or 2 from a zip :panic:
What I have from the Genesis 8 are in the runtime directly, like DS4 takes many place with the "datas", and I'm not talking of huge textures. So basically, I haven't to reinstall from scratch. But I don't really play with DS4, so I avoid its complexity a lot :psycho:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
And remember to participate to the Polls
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?board=349.0
And you find the change for weekly contests
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23775.0
-
Be well Aelin. Interesting new gallery there
-
That should go pretty good. Nice to get back into the contests
-
Oh I was just giving an example. I do use all of them. It is just at G3 that they stopped doing morphs to bring the 3rd and 4th generation up the chain... Keiko 6 was my favorite of the G2 figures. I have her usable all the way up to G8 . Best way to avoid autofitting clothing all the time. Made sure to have the texture converters as well. Why I have Sparky's anthro skins saved for genesis generations from M/V4.
kEKIKO 6 is one I like using too. Kiki Mai 6 and Ysabeau 6 (Winkler and Thorne) are my current faves. That seems to change all the time though! I love the way that you get to arrange the morphs in the Settings tabs. Easier to work with.
-
Ah the fun of reinstalling everything on a new computer
Yup I suffer with ya there! Built BadMoonRYZEN in June, first use ON me bday July1. Still installing and smoothing things out. Oh but what a machine! LOL! :woohoo:

Got 99% of everything I want installed and running, only had one thing that doesn't want to work and three things that will have to wait till the cable for the modem is run out here so I can hook to the net for the three seconds I'll allow to get them up and running before the render comp goes back into isolation

Quick coffee with a little soul warmer please Fafnir. Lots of snow and cold this am and my Senior's Shopping Hour is about to start. We are still in lockdown here and I only get out 3 times a month. Two shopping trips and one bank trip. Thankfully I can go outside to my balcony for a smoke. I\ll be glad when this is done for.
-
Thanks, Fafnir. Just :java: this morning, I think.
Good news, Dreamer. Your "The Usual Suspects" at the head of the page still makes me smile.

Good morning guys!
I think since the COTM where Dreamer did it, we have grown the list of usual suspects :tearlaugh:
I see some are already busy in the Fantasy Art world :ifonly:

Good Morning to all.....

Oh yuck, I had to get another phone. Being on Windows phones for the last 8 years, there were just two OS's left to choose from. Seemed the greater and more affordable variety stands with Android based hardware. I mean $999 for a Apple 12 was a bit much for me. SO I chose an Android. LG Stylo 6 64 gig and T-Mobile. But AT&T aint letting go of this other prepaid phone for SIX MONTHS! Sheesh, sore losers! But T-Mobile was my first ever wireless phone company. Way back in 2001. The were pretty good back then, good experience with them. Talked to em, got stuff I needed and some I wanted for seriously less than the other guy. And he don't even offer data via hotspot at the UNLIMITED usable speed range. So, nice phone, good plan, got data, happy old man here in the panhandle. Heh! Oh right, new number too. I am sure the old provider will notice something amiss when I miss my first payment ever. Yep, they tend to notice that, even when they don't wanna talk with ya. Off to play! :D
-
did ya know they even sell $1,500 Samsung Notes? SHEESH!!!!
-
Hey ol Bernie up there needs some thicker socks man, his feet are lookin COLD! :thud:
-
LG Stylo 6 is a good phone. I have one lol
-
Hello Aelin! Hiya PDG! Hey Dreamer! S'upp Noshoba! Hello Hipshot!
@ HipShot - while y'all were having heavy rains last month, I came back from the VA in a near blizzard one fine day. Had the idiotic thought "if I step in the mashed down snow in the tire tracks in the driveway I will keep my feet dry!" Me gets out of van, waves bye to ye olde driver, he starts off real slow like in the icy road, and I step one time with left foot in packed tire track. AND promptly played like a big old snow angel at the start of the driveway. That were a month ago, our last snow ice storm. Left knee still bugging me bad! Heck with it. I walk in the safer wet snow now! Arrrrrr!
-
Hi McG.....
I've been busy messing up the site LOL.... Hate relearning shit that hasn't been learnt in years since it was all knowledge we used all the time with the old programs...but I'll get there...
I've had the same Samsung Android phone now for 7 years....and I don't really need the 5G so I'm good. I don't live on my phone...thankfully....
-
I took a general look at all the phones first, then mentioned a price range. Got motioned to most of the displays. Not the Samsung and Apple 12 ones though. Its ok though. I asked about any stylus phones in my range. And store guys Brandon and Ben instantly chattered about this LG Stylo 6. They showed it to me, and I was very impressed at how much faster it is than the ATT Radiant MAX and a number of others I have, and the ones I looked at. I likes my 128 gig micro SD card too. AND the hotspot in it works a treat with all my WiFi devices in here! Plus, I could afford it, cash on the barrel.
Brought it home with me. :woohoo:
I keep forgetting it HAS a stylus right in it. I can draw with my phone now! Great screen resolution too. Movies look great on it. But even better on the TV.
-
Thanks, Fafnir. Just :java: this morning, I think.

You are right Aelin there are a few others here now, I might have to see about doing an updated pic of the Coffee Shop.
Hmm I think maybe what I have cooking right now might be good for the Fantasy Art, will have to see
-
I like LG also. Had one before I got the Samsung. I traveled so much I needed something a little more powerful and the Samsung fit the bill.
I got rid of all my Cable TV. I only stream now. My TV's are all Vizio so I have Smartcast on all of them.
Pluto TV and many other free streaming items...Like Peacock TV which has a ton of items.
I cast my Weather Channel to the TV via phone...so I'm all set.
-
Landline. Never owned a mobile device in my life. Not even a pager. TV cost way too much but I have nothing else to spend money on so I don't care. I could drop the thing and just use my game console for TV but then I seldom even turn it on. Cable news talking heads keep me company as I screw around on my computers. I can yell at them and they don't talk back. Often.
-
I've just found that people have commented on the images that I put in the new gallery. :woohoo:
Should I have gotten E-mail about that? Probably need to turn on some switch that I missed.
-
Yeah knight . Not sure if gallery notifies are working yet either lol.
Home at last
-
Or tis one of the many little problems that, so far, have slipped by. piece by piece, bit by byte, we're getting back.
Patients aren't just in the waiting room.[ English based joke]

Thanks Sir Knight, been putting the new tower through its paces. I am glad it does, was a lot of fun to do.

You had a problem with size in quotation and text below :tearlaugh:
I'm waiting for a lot of people in Fantasy Art gallery thise year :yes: I love to see different faces. Or I'll start to think I'm as much horrible to look as the nurse :psycho:
I've just found that people have commented on the images that I put in the new gallery. :woohoo:

I don't think it's an option we have to turn on. We all aren't receiving emails. If I'm correct, DarkAngel tried to bring that option back, but the gallery was almost broken once again.
All I can advice for now is to look the gallery at least once a day when you are here. Of course, if somebody comment on a very older image, that comment risks to be missed. But it's the only solution I found. So all you have to do is clicking in the gallery on your name (under a title of your images, or when you commented somebody) and you'll find your profil in the gallery, something like
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/profile.php?uid=HEREyourNUMBER

Please don't read my comment as a complaint. It's enough to know that I shouldn't expect any. I'm certainly glad to have the gallery back.
I really like the new concept.
-
Yeah I missed a few comments there. Wiz that threesome render will be getting redone the way I intended
Was doing a spoof on my favorite scene from anime with tje awful english translation of Love Tyrant. Akane riding into Hell on a very beat up and obedient Cerberus comes close lol.
-

I didn't see it like a complaint. I promise. I just desired to answer, and to explain the situation, adding a little something for you find easily... well yourself :tearlaugh:
-
No worries Sir Knight, I hit the gallery multiple times per diem. Kinda nice when people comment or critique.

Cheers
-
You had a problem with size in quotation and text below :tearlaugh:
I fixed it lol
-
Indeed. Ugh taking a stab at a simple animation. Not sure the minimum frames. At 80 and 5 hours lol . Seeing if worthwhile to grab a few of the simple sets
-
:lostme: Maybe Link Gallery to Site Messages?
-
For the moment the gallery and FA aren't with the same bases. I'm not sure it's possible. But DarkAngel has some ideas to beat the gallery sooner or later.
-
lowest FPS is about 15, standard is 24, HD about 30+
length of anime X framerate= "I'll just take a nap then shall I?"
Usually I render up an anime with barebones light, no shadow barely textures. To check the movement. Then add in the belles and whistles. Natch... dForce, LAMH, etc will drag the render time.
But, as long as you have fun? Tis worth it, then you get to dub it. 8 ) Cheers
-
Nope....Aelin is right...not possible at the moment. Soon we should see some more improvements. But I do get all of the site messages...so that's a plus.
As mentioned...I'm fighting the sidebar...but I'll beat it one way or another....
Plus the front page....and many other spots....
I was going to go :thud:
But to much to do LOL
-
Well at moment just a simple turnaround to just see if it crashes my system lol. Been wanting to give a try for awhile now.

If you do :thud: the nurse will rush to you to take care of you in her own way :ifonly:

Right now the Nurse sounds like a VACATION compared to what we are doing now :tearlaugh:
-
Thank you for providing us with a happy home. I'm sorry to hear it's not easy.
-
Nosh, if you're using Poser, you can put the anim-render into background. Usually just uses what's available for resources, without crashing "too hard". 8 )
Cheers

Wiz I.am using Daz.. Poser UI gave me migraines
-
Just glad to see everything working . . . . . after a fashion. Missed the whole shootin' match, as well as the inmates.
:peek:
In a differing vein . . . . . put those fangs away!!!!!!!! I have dipped the old toes in Daz on occasion but found it just wasn't my cup of tea. Though I do like some of the Genesis 2 figures that can be ported over to P11. Something that I'll just stick with for the nonce. Besides, still experimenting with A3 and my hybrids!
:ifonly:
-
Ahhh... simular here but reversed. till I moved everything in the Daz Studio UI to match the changes in my Poser UI.
Both proggies let you move things around for easier workflow. One thing about the older versions was you could change the colour of the background. 8 )
Cheers
-
Lol. No worries I am not going to bite if you prefer Poser. Up until the take over I still used Poser 11 for beta testing for a friend.
-
I stopped with SM's Poser 11 Pro. When I read the specs on Bondware...... just went "Nope"
I never setup render convert whilst online. Too many years of render over there, internet over here. different computers. same with gaming.
KO, so I'm wierd that way. 8 )
Cheers
-
Pretty much why I stopped. Not worth the hoops to jump.through
-
Unfortunately, I didn't see the "you have to turn regularly internet on each time you turn off your com" when they bought Poser :panic:
I'm working with Poser 10 most of time...when I do Poser.
Otherwise, I'm always with DS3, which doesn't ask to calculate each time I'm moving in the scene.

Oh yuck, I had to get another phone. Being on Windows phones for the last 8 years, there were just two OS's left to choose from. Seemed the greater and more affordable variety stands with Android based hardware. I mean $999 for a Apple 12 was a bit much for me. SO I chose an Android. LG Stylo 6 64 gig and T-Mobile. But AT&T aint letting go of this other prepaid phone for SIX MONTHS! Sheesh, sore losers! But T-Mobile was my first ever wireless phone company. Way back in 2001. The were pretty good back then, good experience with them. Talked to em, got stuff I needed and some I wanted for seriously less than the other guy. And he don't even offer data via hotspot at the UNLIMITED usable speed range. So, nice phone, good plan, got data, happy old man here in the panhandle. Heh! Oh right, new number too. I am sure the old provider will notice something amiss when I miss my first payment ever. Yep, they tend to notice that, even when they don't wanna talk with ya. Off to play! :D
McG, I recently also got another phone. I went from a Galaxy S5 to a Galaxy A51. 128GB Memory! And it is Upgradeable! Now I can download games and apps to my phone without getting that annoying "Out of Memory" message. And should I decide I want more memory, I can pay to upgrade to 256 or 512 GB. Now that's like the size of the harddrive on my first laptop; a Toshiba.
That one has been out of service for several years, but I still keep it, because the HD has a lot on it that I wish to retrieve. I can remove the HD and have it placed in a better computer, to transfer the retrieved files to a newer HD. The HD of the Laptop is a SSHD actually. Should be easy enough to do what I want.
Anyway, I have been needing to get a new phone for some time now, and I finally did. BTW, the phone is 5G, and yes I'm on T-Mobile as well. The old Galaxy S5 had just 8GB of memory, and all of it was taken by proprietary apps, both Samsung and T-Mobile! Was having to uninstall some very useful apps due to that. Now I no longer have to worry about that.
-
We all have our preference, for rendering Poser or DAZ, I prefer and can make Poser do what I want it to do ... no reason for me to switch.
Tried DAZ once in the beginning and it crashed my system three times in a row.
Never again, don't care if it has been improved or not bad taste still lingers.
Glad that there are others that can make it work and produce great art, I am not one of them though ...
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a good night Aelin....I'm still in the middle of the middle but I should be at the end well before the beginning :java:
-
Beats head on desk. I really hate it when my prediction of the stupidity and ignorance of people is proven right.
Hank Aaron died today. Someone I had the joy of watching when growing up in Marietta Georgia. While getting the oil changed on the truck today they were showing a tribute. They mentioned that he and Andrew Young had gone and gotten the covid-19 vaccine to prove to blacks that it was safe. I looked at the clerk behind the counter and said I guarantee they will claim the vaccine killed him.
I met up with my coworker who happens to be black and mentioned that Hank Aaron had died today. First thing out of his mouth was that the vaccine killed him. All I could do is just stare at him.
Sometimes I think social media is to just be banned.

Well We Lost Mira Furlan Wednesday. Babylon 5 Delenn

Yep Social Media Must be Banned!
-
Good mornign guys!
-
Morning Aelin..
Rad sorry my tolerance for that kind of thing is at an all time low. Considering on the way home from that same oil change I rolled by the crime scene of a young girl having been shot and killed in gas station parking lot. So 2021 seems to be trying to one up 2020.
-
Good Morning,
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
Finally after many moons it has rained off and on last night. It always nice to see it rain from time to time, especially since flood control put in place in the way of channel has done away with most of the flash flooding in the valley. I remember growing up here and the roads would turn into rivers when it rain. Most of the street going west and east back then were dried river and stream beds that the miners and the cowboys used in the valley in the early part of the twenty century. As time went by these stream beds and river beds were paved over as they built out from town there was a real need for flood control over the years finally in the last part of the twenty century was when they started to work on it on now it is nearly finished. The valley has really change over the last fifty years, sometime I miss the old days, but I am glad we that we do have things today that we never had before that is close to home nowadays like grocery store, gas stations, drug store, fast food joints and buses that run down the street. The first fast food restaurant didn't get here until 1968 and then it had to be disguised as a regular restaurant and place in a normal store front on Fremont street since it was a Mc Donalds. My how thing have changed.
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be baked stuffed snapper with coleslaw BBQ beans and hushpuppies
-
Good morning, Aelin, M-C and Fafnir. More than 10 degrees colder here than yesterday. I hope everyone has a good day!
-
Yeppers Sir Knight. The talking heads tell me it's the coldest day this winter. Cold is creeping in 'round the balcony door along with the snow. Wind must be coming from the south west. Fortification against the cold please Fafnir.
-
hands PDG a steaming mug with a double shot of rye
-
hello Sir Knight coffee with fortification??
-
Morning.. You know it is kind of scary when someone makes a character that almost immediately makes you think that is how my Mom looked when she was younger lol. The humor being I showed a render to my Aunt, her younger sister, and she agreed.
-
hello Sir Knight coffee with fortification??
Definitely and with thanks!
-
most welcome it is a cloudy grey day here with some rain little cooler good day to work inside
-
Finally crawled out of bed this morn and it is to the wonderful sight of grey skies and a wet parking lot ... :sigh: ah well, was wondering when that was going to return
-
Been in here for a while puttering around with things.....and then unputtering them because my plan didn't work....
Oh well...at least we can still type :tearlaugh:
And on the note....GOOD MORNING TO ALL.....
And yes....I've got out of the habit of going into FB each day.....I go in when I find something cute or for my thought of the week...and to post our winners...otherwise...Nope...don't need it daily.
I haven't been in Twitter during our change...the only reason I went into Twitter was to post our winners...otherwise...it's useless to me...as is many of the others. I once tried instagram and liked some of what I saw..then the politics started...and I haven't been in since.
I truly DO enjoy Pinterest. I put our winners up and I have a lot of other stuff I put in there. I like old stuff so my Grands and their friends asked if I could find old pictures of kids with dolls and teddy bears...and since then..other collections have started.
But now...back to work...
-
Sounds about like me. I really like Pintarest, but FB and I are on distant speaking turns. There are only a few posts that I check, mostly from a brother in NM. Other than that, Meh! As for the rest, no thanks! Don't need an overload of :bs: in my life, other than I already have.
-
Dont have social media, just A-social media. You sign up, they delete the account, and both ignore each other.
Experiances in site chatrooms soured me on the SocMed thing.
On the other hand...... there's dirt, as that is everywhere, that should cover everything. 8 )
Cheers
-
I Have Email! Do not see a Need for anything Else. :lostme:
-
I only have the F***book thing and if it wasn't that there are one or two people there I would dump it in a heart beat and go straight over to MeWe permanently and say good riddance
-
:lostme: Surprised MeWe has not been taken down as a Hate Group yet by the Lying Media.
-
Hey gang! Howww-DEEEE! :woohoo:
Sir Knight, did all the newbs get to beating up on ya? At least ya went into the fray in great spirits!
I am with the Wizzard on the a-social media thing. Phooey on that mess!
-
:lostme: Surprised MeWe has not been taken down as a Hate Group yet by the Lying Media.
Indeed however it is still running strong just came from there so all is good, will have to rebuild back the people I had that I had as friends but that is a work in progress.
-
Still naught but grey skies and wet pavement still, hasn't improved since the morning ... good day to stay inside I guess
-
Just wanted to say thank you for all the comments on Druids Pool.
That render has been a long time in the making :)
-
I always have a MeWe profil despite the fact I didn't go there in more than 1 year :tearlaugh: I suscribed for few friends, wanted really to try to be active... and friends abandonned the ship. Like I talk a lot, didn't want to go lonely :psycho:
-
Only have facebook and a few ban badges lol. But really only had it to keep track of a very scattered family and friends. I said what I said because people have been pretty ignorant and using it as their only source of information.
I think this says it all.
-
Natch, like people that rely on a single [dubious] TV news proggy.
Sad when to get truth you have to go to overseas news, as "local" is so biased, they're talking jet-packs and teleporters.

"J" got me on MeWe but I have not pursued it very far since to me it's a mini Facebook. Got out of FB because of the banter...don't need it in another place LOL....I'll stick with Pinterest...

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Pretty much TL.
BTW will post Mom's birthday card/render here as well. Just going to be curious to see who finds the easter eggs I will hide in it lol

Nicely put Rad.

There is little to no banter that I have seen because there is next to nobody over there from FB, second there is no censoring of a conservative viewpoint or remark in contrast to what occurs on FB ... just my opinion ... not debating further ... as this is the wrong topic and post to do such things.
-
Agreeeed.....Wooohooo...oppps....I mean :woohoo:

Excellent end of day guys!

:peek: Be Safe Aelin! *Huggles*

Nighty Night Aelin.....
I'm still breaking things so I can put them back together. It's a hobby of mine :java: :thud:

Have a good night folks....I've decided to tackle the sidebar tomorrow and get our winners up on FB, Pinterest and Tweet.
Less hassle :tearlaugh:
See you all sometime in the morn....NOT EARLY though.

Be well TL.

How cute decided I needed a break for the crazy rubbish being spewed by the rest of the world.
So broke out my DVD copy of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" Got to all the way to the ending credits and although I already knew that Peter Davison was featured as the meal of the day.
However did not see that the third officer was Geoffrey Beevers, who also played a version of; The Master in "The Keeper of Traken"
Had to pause and back up the credits before I was certain, :tearlaugh:
-
You know he Married Caroline John (Liz Shaw) who was the Doctors Companion :ifonly:
-
Keeper of Traken.... Tremas then later The Master was played by Anthony Ainsley.
I don't remember who played the corpselike Master.
But in my headcanon, The Master will always be Roger Delgado, though John Simms did a great performance.
Cheers

Thanks for the starving artist award. Now I just wish lilflame and Sveva would team up on a few more environments and scene sets vs clothes lol. Every one I have renders well in Iray, even the poser ones, and dont blow up the render time.

The old Galaxy S5 had just 8GB of memory, and all of it was taken by proprietary apps, both Samsung and T-Mobile! Was having to uninstall some very useful apps due to that. Now I no longer have to worry about that.
I hear ya Cleve! I used a WinDoze phoney for 8 years, the FIFTH one for the last 5. But M$ (TinyLimp) just hadda FORCE people away by sticking us with updates when no updates were *allowed*, ensuring the mobile device locked up (forcing) an Reset To Factory State and THEN removing apps and services to the point the damn things are essentially useless but for the absolute basic phone service. After the last instance of that, AT&T "brought my plan current" and screwed me royally in the doing. AT&T doesn't even OFFER at any price what I WAS getting...until M$ did its thing to my phone recently. Awww it's just BIZZNIZZ, no hard feelings, yeah? NO! LOTS of hard feelings.
SO I went back to T-Mobile after a 19 year haitus. And checked out a nice looking LG phone after all the great LG appliances I have here are doing so well. TMobile offered me a 'old fogie' plan, Plus unlimited everything, for a more reasonable price than I anticipated. So here I sit, with a McAndroid phone now! LOL! I have used a 128 gig MicroSD card for years now, and just popped it into the new phone. But copied all the contents to the PC hd first...ya KNOW a new device is gonna format it, even it its the same dang OS number. This one is a LG Stylo 6 64 gig (4 gigs RAM, 64 gig internal storage, and 256 gig max removable MicroSD Card storage. 8 core processor. Plus, it's a STYLUS! High res screen, 6.5" diag. ) and its WAY faster than the ATT Radiant MAX I got last month.
One thing I've learned about these new edge to edge screen smartphones. Do not touch it to your face! You will be face-dialing more stuff than ya even knew ya had in it!!!! Use speaker, Bluetooth headset or a wired headset. Uh HUH! That helps! LOL!
Hey my first laptop was a Toshiba Satellite as well. I liked it! I miss the little guy.

Hey McG. Whats twelve hours lol. How I listen to my music plus a few naval history documentaries I love to watch on there. And lets not forget all the tutorials ....
Yeah my Toshiba Satellite lasted forever.. damn thing reminded me of the old Nokia brick cell phones it was so tough lol. Pity they went under by forgetting what got them there in the first place . Second one I had didnt last a year.

Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready and there is plenty of rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roast beef with all the trimmings

Morning..already out roaming about.

'Mornin' folks. Font is a little small this morning. That or my eyes are going out again. Still; it's better than the giant one here lately. Could remove my glasses for that one.
-
who changed the size on this page??
-
Good morning guys!
who changed the size on this page??
I was wondering too after I entered my IDs. Even me I need a magnifying glass... oups I mean a microscope :tearlaugh:
I found the last days the words to much bigger, but there, it's too much smaller. I don't want to try to play with the sizes in the background, in case I make a mistake - I know myself :tearlaugh:
The only way for now: we size our texts ourselves before to send them.
But remember: TL said last night he was breaking things. If it's him, we must punish him by the dungeons :ifonly:
(I sized in 12)
-
I'm with PDG: goodness that's a small font. I found that Aelin's size 12 was readable. All just a matter of getting back to "normal".

Peter Pratt was the corpse looking version in "The Deadly Assassin"
Delgado was the best, the right touch of sophistication with the menacing sinister vibe.

Pratt.... Thankye muchly Jherr. Even just after watching, I couldn't pull up his name. 8 \
Must be oldtimers, or insanity.. Not sure which. 8 )
Cheers
Font's small na?
-
Have to agree with the font size thing. Gets too small and it gives me a headache. And then I have to reach for the mag glasses. 12 is SO much better.
Note to McG. In a way I can really agree with that. Most of the time my personal cell has been one of the "dumb" phones as Connie calls them. That, and I have dealt almost exclusively with TracPhone. Found good service there. Finally broke down and bought a couple of smartphones from them. Dare I say the cost? Yes, I dare. Got 'em both for 14 bones each. Couple of the older model LGs that did everything I asked of it. I loved mine, but Connie just couldn't get her through her head that you only had to TOUCH the screen to get something done. She kept pushing HARD on it for a couple of seconds whenever she wanted to do something. Finally got her one of those new Lively phones - the flip-not the smart. I got it set up for her and she's still trying to get it to text by voice. Meh!!!! :lostme:
-
Yeah. 12 looks good to me. I just have to remember.

Most likely not the place for this but it will only be the one post
Got to love old time DIY hacks
I have been bothered by slow draining sinks regardless of anything that I have done. Remember I am a cheapskate and will not pay for a plumber unless it is totally broken.
Found a hack that surprisingly has improved conditions for me.
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup salt (optional)
Pour a tea kettle of boiling water in drain followed but the baking soda and salt, finish off with the vinegar and then wait 10 minutes then flush with hot tap water
The bath tub is now draining as it should, the bathroom sink as well, although I was not having issues there, and the kitchen sink well, is still bothersome but it is at least 75% better then what it was, just saw another hack for the drains and that was to pour a 2 liter bottle of coke down it to help remove the excess scaling on the drains.
First time for the coke treatment, it is doing something I am guessing as it has been doing the bubble, bubble off and on, will see how well or if it works later.
All without using the over the counter high dollar harsh chemicals. :grenade:
-
I've found that boiling a pot of 4 quarts or large of water and pouring it down the kitchen sink at least once a month has been a big help with that slowest drain in the house.
-
Trust me it has been incorporated in the weekend activities and it is helping ... a lot
-
Good morning to all...or afternoon....which ever is good for you.
Been a busy morning. Got more snow, then the Grandson dropped off the daughter and since his Girlfriend is working he decided to help me with the shoveling....which is a good thing mind you.....but I do enjoy it also....most of the time.
Things look a wee bit more normal in here this afternoon...except for the font...but that's minor...takes but one second to change the size....
Good Job Aelin on the sidebar....HUGS....

Some brain cells are missing after the processus :tearlaugh:

Have a great night Aelin.....I'm off to get our February Voting going...and then I'm heading over to Pinterest to finally get some winners up....and start some 2021 threads...

Hi McG.....
I've been busy messing up the site LOL.... Hate relearning shit that hasn't been learnt in years since it was all knowledge we used all the time with the old programs...but I'll get there...
I've had the same Samsung Android phone now for 7 years....and I don't really need the 5G so I'm good. I don't live on my phone...thankfully....
I don't live on my phone either, but I do pay attention to the noises I tell it to make. It has grown in relative importance . . . to Personal Assistant! Like a secretary sorta. An Office Assistant? Whatever, it IS a help for me!
I hate putting the old Microsoft Lumia 640 XL away. It has been a terrific device for five full years now. I keep it charged, and use what few functions it has left that M$ hasn't killed off. LG/T-Mobile seem to be a good team, as is T-Mobile and Samsung and Apple too. One of my nurses told me she paid $999 for her I Phone 12. Whew! She's paying it off over 2 years on the plan contract I guess. I paid cash on barrel for mine. MINE MINE MINE ALL MINE!! Yup I totally own it. I may even come to enjoy using this Stylo6 as much as that 640XL in time. It has a real cool camera and lens set. It's about as powerful as my Olympus E-3 is, and that's saying something. Kinda why the batteries all leaked down the last couple years. Haven't used it! Taking pics with a PHONE is now being taught as real Photography. Ain't that something!
....
Sooo as it were you and/or any of the other admins and supersysops here, THANKS y'all for all the work and turmoil you went through to get the Attic back up and looking so nice again! And it's a relief to have a black screen with white text again !!!!! Yeehaw!

Landline. Never owned a mobile device in my life. Not even a pager. TV cost way too much but I have nothing else to spend money on so I don't care. I could drop the thing and just use my game console for TV but then I seldom even turn it on. Cable news talking heads keep me company as I screw around on my computers. I can yell at them and they don't talk back. Often.
Hey PDG, the big thing is that YOU enjoy what you have. And you sure seem to! I am with you on the puttering around with your computer gear. Do you enjoy doing the builds a lot?
I do, and I miss having big ol tubs full of parts. One for vid cards, another for motherboards, one for keyboards, one for DRIVES and drive controllers, a couple for the other smaller groups of parts like RAM sticks, fans and heat sinks. Pretty obvious organization to all that. When I was brought up here, a single axle ton and a half U-Haul trailer was rented to get me and all my stuff up here. I filled the Jeep with In Use computer stuff, two guitars, 1 cat in a travel cage. The Jeep towed the trailer, and at 60 mph it got 16.5 mpg over the 625 mile trip. but the majority of old parts and stuff was left behind. Including all my 35mm Minolta gear. Sad. Oh well. I am still kicking parts and builds around occasionally! :)
-
Unfortunately, I didn't see the "you have to turn regularly internet on each time you turn off your com" when they bought Poser :panic:
I'm working with Poser 10 most of time...when I do Poser.
Otherwise, I'm always with DS3, which doesn't ask to calculate each time I'm moving in the scene.
I still use DS 3 Advanced, Aelin. IT isn't mining my personal stuff and sending it to DAZ3D constantly like the 4.nn versions do. DS3 also suffers from not being able to use the new Generations of Figures, like Poser does. At least DSON works from P9 thru P11. But definitely not 12. Oh well. At least we still have fun with what we DO have and use!
-
We all have our preference, for rendering Poser or DAZ, I prefer and can make Poser do what I want it to do ... no reason for me to switch.
Tried DAZ once in the beginning and it crashed my system three times in a row.
Never again, don't care if it has been improved or not bad taste still lingers.
Glad that there are others that can make it work and produce great art, I am not one of them though ...
DS3Advanced isn't bad at all. BUT, it is a paid version. DAZ's final bug fix upgrade was to shaft us with DS4. At least it was for free.
-
Beats head on desk. I really hate it when my prediction of the stupidity and ignorance of people is proven right.
Hank Aaron died today. Someone I had the joy of watching when growing up in Marietta Georgia. While getting the oil changed on the truck today they were showing a tribute. They mentioned that he and Andrew Young had gone and gotten the covid-19 vaccine to prove to blacks that it was safe. I looked at the clerk behind the counter and said I guarantee they will claim the vaccine killed him.
I met up with my coworker who happens to be black and mentioned that Hank Aaron had died today. First thing out of his mouth was that the vaccine killed him. All I could do is just stare at him.
Sometimes I think social media is to just be banned.
Well for lots of us around HERE the 'antisocial media' is ignored mostly. No problemo! :D
-
I still have my Minolta 35 mm and lenses all that is needed is battery and it is good to go just add film [when you can find it and a place that develops film]
-
Sigh and yet again my settings for the site were reset ... I do hope that sometime this century this settles down, as this is the third time today it has gone back to whatever the default settings are .... :thud:
-
Have to agree with the font size thing. Gets too small and it gives me a headache. And then I have to reach for the mag glasses. 12 is SO much better.
Note to McG. In a way I can really agree with that. Most of the time my personal cell has been one of the "dumb" phones as Connie calls them. That, and I have dealt almost exclusively with TracPhone. Found good service there. Finally broke down and bought a couple of smartphones from them. Dare I say the cost? Yes, I dare. Got 'em both for 14 bones each. Couple of the older model LGs that did everything I asked of it. I loved mine, but Connie just couldn't get her through her head that you only had to TOUCH the screen to get something done. She kept pushing HARD on it for a couple of seconds whenever she wanted to do something. Finally got her one of those new Lively phones - the flip-not the smart. I got it set up for her and she's still trying to get it to text by voice. Meh!!!! :lostme:
LOL! My first cell / mobile phone was a Motorola V-22 flip. And, it DID do everything by voice, once I got it set up right. It did blutooth too, if I'd sprung for a blutooth headset I'd still be using the thing even now. But, my plan was for 600 mins a month talk. Took me two years to use the first months 600 minutes up. I dropped the cell plan and used land line till I got up here, and sissy gave me some kind of HCT not-smart cell phone. I was with Ma Bell/AT&T for something like 43 years man. Last month they shafted me bad enough I recoiled in shock. And went back to T-Mobile and a new LG phone and "Magenta 55+ Unlimited" plan. To witt- I get more than ATT even offers and for less $ than I was paying a year ago! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy it does! :D
-
I still have my Minolta 35 mm and lenses all that is needed is battery and it is good to go just add film [when you can find it and a place that develops film]
I do miss the cameras and ALL those LENSES! I had a few very good ROKKOR lenses. My prized one was a Rokkor 125mm f:1.7 prime. Outstanding lens. It was great for portraits, and also for mild telephoto, scenery. It was heavy though. Lots of glass in that thing. But it's all gone now. Dunno where, but it didn't get here with me.
-
Wow, I actually caught up all the reading now. Don't even know how many pages it was, but it's great seeing what is which and where it went and all that with everyone! HA!
:ty01: TheLufias, Jherrith and DarkAngel for the board, and Aelin and Fafnir for tweaks and lbreakfast!
-
Hey McG....I think last time we changed your mug shot you emailed the shot that you wanted. I got a easy email to remember....thelufias@gmail.com
-
OK, yessir, it took sending you the pic and you put it in the right place. That beard needs a evening up something terrible. Did that and took some more selfies. Way too easy to do with the phones today! LOL!SO in a jocular Foghorn Leghorn way, I assembled a very short storyboard of me getting a task accomplished.Oh what was the task? This picture, of course! LOL!
-
:ifonly:
-
Nice pic McG. Speaking of pics, I went through a s**tload of cameras while playing with Uncle Sam. Favorite was a Nikon F1 and a bunch of lenses I picked up in a pawn shop while at Ft Knox. Carried that camera throughout my time in the army. Had a long tele lens on it while riding in the TC's station and banged the hell out of it when we hit a bump. Actually BROKE the lens mount. Pushed it back in and never had a bit of trouble with it after that.
On another note, still looking for my picture file. Somewhere in the garage . . . . picture self grumbling and cursing a blue streak . . . . daughter had gone through just about everything there and scattered stuff to hell to breakfast!!!!
:lostme: :thud:
-
I'll find that bloody thing one of these days!!!!
-
R O F L M A O !
Ahhh HipShot , that laugh was at RADKRES for making a cool funny! :D
I think the F1 was and probably still is Nikon's best manual 35mm body ever. You had a doozie there!
-
Electronics stores. Most have folded up. Most that remain seem to have gone full Online Web Store only, outsourcing and warehousing unknown. But they likely use AMAZON facilities...or Brown! The cool thing I am seeing (now that I opened my eyes and lifted the blinkers and looked FOR a store!) all these little strip mall boutiques for each of the phone carriers. T-Mobile has a couple dozen in Amarillo. 4 of them right on the Boulevard on the way to/from the VA Hospital. Google Maps is kewl! Seems businesses tend to go smaller, and specialize more. That, um, could be useful, from time to time. ;o)
-
A quick good morning guys!
McG, on one of your photos, you open so big eyes we can believe you saw the nurse :tearlaugh:
I still use DS 3 Advanced, Aelin. IT isn't mining my personal stuff and sending it to DAZ3D constantly like the 4.nn versions do. DS3 also suffers from not being able to use the new Generations of Figures, like Poser does. At least DSON works from P9 thru P11. But definitely not 12. Oh well. At least we still have fun with what we DO have and use!
I abandoned the idea to do real renders, so keeping generation 4 doesn't annoy me. I like them like I started with them, no matter it was the same year where DS4 and Genesis started.
In more, my first DS4 (even uninstalled and reinstalled) had problems, keeping every things which weren't DS4 format in "squares" when I reopened the scenes. So it happened I prepared Genesis, exported him (yes him) like object, then loaded him in a DS3 scene. Took many time, but it was worth the difficulty at that time.
-
Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with cole slaw BBQ beans hushpuppies and fresh baked sourdough bread
-
Thanks Fafnir, COFFEE please!
Noshoba - I started growing the beard in 2015. I evened it up slightly a couple times. What you see is all its grown. Sigh.
Aelin - It's funny that the DAZ devs wrote DSON Interpreter for Poser, and nothing for DS3. Real nice of em huh! I use TY2, Aiko 3, the Millennium Kids, Generation 4 all, and Genesis 2 F/M. Then there are the 3rd party Figures and animals. Makes for a long list! For the majority of my scenes I use V 4.2 :)
-
Had something weird there with the message so deleted it.
That is my Uncle Bernie and my late Aunt Jan. So yes you could help him play Santa Claus McG.
One of my favorite memories from last time I was home for Christmas being out at a bar on the Georgia Tech campus playing team trivia against him and 6 other santa clauses in full regalia. Lol.
-
The uncle of a friend's husband in Oklahoma played Santa Claus too. Mostly in for retirement homes. Then one day, years ago, they just told him "we no more want you". No reason.
Otherwise your uncle, McG and the guy I talked would make a good team of Santa Claus too!
-
True. I like the fact he prefers that look santaclaus outfit with the robes vs the Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer one.
-
Now this is getting a little weird. Is anyone else getting the posts in white ...... then in a washed out gray??? As you go down the list of posts??
:lostme:

Yes. I think it's another thing in the CSS. I sent a PM to Mary, but only the last hour, so I missed her for the moment.

Glad to know I am not the only one.

Afternoon to all.....
It will be a short visit since I'm in the middle of some projects I neglected while I was "under the weather".....
I see we still have blips but it's looking a lot better.
Mc-G....I'll get to your mugshot as soon as I can....I think one of those was used in Share....or one similar to them...
-
Dark Text on Dark Background
Keep in mind that the Blue Moonlight theme is available and no problems with print colors...
-
:iminnocent: You lost the way to quote without write in the quotation TL :tearlaugh:
DarkAngel is working on the color problem guys.
Excellent end of day!
-
AHA.....I'm going back to RED PRINT again.....White is BORING :tearlaugh:
-
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one to experience such niggling little probs. If anyone can get it straightened out, that would be our Mary. May all such problems turn out to be little ones.
:peek:
Still working on my own little projects to keep me busy whilst the site was down. Got one render finished and working on another, Meanwhile writing is still taking up a large part of my time.

it was one of those kinds of Really Long Days at the VA yesterday folks. Back to bed a while.

Good morning guys!
It was a white spectacle this morning in grass. Snow? Nope, only a lot of frost.
Don't forget the 1st vote for February Theme (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23803.0) ; it will be ended somewhere today. It's always possible to do the difference for the final vote propositions.
-
Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and crispy bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked baked country ham with all the trimmings
-
Morning...
McG the scary part those Santas finished 2nd lol. Lets just say being at a big time engineering /science school they dont play normal bar trivia .
-
Good morning! Thank the girls for a great sounding breakfast. Just :java: with a little "help" for me today.
-
Weather weenies tell me I'm going to be snowed in hard by noon. Good luck with that boys. No snow now and quite warm. If we get 3 or 4 inches I'll be surprised.
McG my beard has just gone out of control all together. I kept it at half your length for years. Then the lockdown for us old folk started. Said I wouldn't bother to trim it myself. I'm half blind and not certified to carry sharp objects. This foolishness can't last for long I said. Boy that was a mistake. I'm about to suffer my second birthday under under house arrest. Damnable beard is below my rib cage and rapidly heading towards my belly button. I've seen drawings of Rip Van Winkle with shorter facial fuzz than I currently sport.
I saw my buddy Ed's wife last week. She was in the car when he dropped a package off to me. Had not seen her in a little over a year. She was not kind in her assessment of my hairy visage. Not kind at all.
-
It's funny to see with the lockdowns how prisonners have more rights than the rest of population. For the first lockdown in France, the government managed to put out of prisons around 10 000 prisonners. I'm not talking of just little infractions, but of rapers and murderers.
Second lockdown, they put out some more.
And now, they are talking of a third lockdown. Yeah, everyone in jail, except prisonners.
I still wait to see a lockdown for a simple flu... The supposed overloaded hospitals in France are... not so overloaded. My aunt working in one is always waiting to see ill people. The husband of a former colleague was waiting for too in another hospital of the same town.
A friend of Normandy is asking around herself if her friends of family know somebody who has/had the thing. Nope, I'm the only one with a cousin, who has minor heart issues but for who the docs said "continue to take doliprane to heal". Doliprane, for a such supposed dangerous illness, and when you have heart problems?
Sad you couldn't look at her for her potential mustaches PDG :tearlaugh:

ROFL! PDG I thought I was going to try for a "Dumbledore" kind of beard. Imagine my dismay when it grew out to here and just stopped. It'd be alright with me if my head hair did that and the beard did like yours! I pull my hair back to a tail, sometimes 2 or 3 bands. I could learn me how to braid it yeah? Hey, braids in your beard man! That'd be cool! Dad could never grow face hair for anything. But Mom's side could. The men that is. Duh.
-
Aelin you're terrible! LOL that was funny though. ;o)
At VA Hospital yesterday; I was asking about the Covid-19 virus, and just how contagious it really is. I asked a few nurses and doctors. I got different but very sad news about it. Some FEW people can catch it and survive it, no big deal. But over 80% that contract the virus are buried after varying lengths of 'being sick' with it. That is a horrible thing to know.
I now have been acquainted with 3 men that got COVID and are gone now. The VA is still in its FIRST "lockdown" and are preparing for yet another round of those who refuse to believe it is a seriously deadly contagion. Me I have renewed my belief. I Am soaking all my face masks in the kitchen sink in THE most commonly embraced disinfectant the Nurses recommend to me. DAWN Dish-washing liquid - ANTIBACTERIAL on the label.
:docin: :nurse:
-
PDG we are expecting a little snow today too. We'll see. Gotta go get tank of gas today, another drive to VA tomorrow. Sigh. It never ends.
-
Brother is fighting it right now. And yeah lost few to.it to. Why I get so angry with the idiots. Thing is Aelin outside the US most enforced the rules and didnt treat as fake and lost fewer people so when you say you dont know anyone I am not surprised.
-
Oh please, here they pretend we have several tens of thousands of cases by day. More than 73000 dead people. And we are looking who around who lost who. Not finding.
No enforced rules, except the lockdowns for when it's appreciable for government. The first helped to don't end immediately the elections for mayors.
The second avoided our students to study, despite all their depenses for that. Whence the increasing rate of suicides.
Now we'll see the elections for départements and regions pushed in June in place of March - maybe. A third lockdown is a good excuse for.
They are see great seers they already are telling the fourth lockdrown is for September - the moment of the back to school.
Then what? The fifth for Christmas? The sixth for presidential election in 2022? I stop here, but it's what it's. Just a joke. It's not more dangerous than the flu, which kills each years some people.
I no more buy what they pretend.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Got about 7" now and it's still coming down. The plows haven't been out in our area yet so no sense going out to shovel till all is done. But it's Pretty....and the birds are battling for spots on the feeders.
I'll have to go out and get it cleared out sometime today I suppose LOL....but I'm thinking the Snow Joe will be used for this round.
-
question for you i got a folder named templates do i add it to textures or make a seperate folder in the runtime for it P 12

glad i live in florida have fun shoveling and thanks birds look happy with their feeders and what falls on the snow
-
Yeah, take Snow Joe to work. Or any willing neighbor :ifonly: 7, you won your bet compared to the forecast weather :tearlaugh:
question for you i got a folder named templates do i add it to textures or make a seperate folder in the runtime for it P 12
That depends if you want to create your own textures. I have the templates generally in a specific folder out of the runtimes.
-
I have all of the templates in a separate folder just for the templates. Generally rename the folder to the product it is for in case they just called it templates.
Keep them in the specific runtime as well
-

And there are a lot of just "templates" folders :tearlaugh: I admit I have easily tendency to do the same when I share templates. I guess when we create we are so much in "the thing" we forget the others aren't necesarilly in.

I've braided the beard. More than once. Just to see if I could while it was at various lengths. Always wore a braid in my hair when I worked. Long hair and heavy industry don't always mix too well. Used to walk into the bar after work each day; order two beers with a rye back; and remove the braid proclaiming my release from bondage for yet another day while awaiting the tarbender to do their thing.

Saw an infomercial for that (Sno Joe) the other night. Watched just to see what it actually is having hear you folk here mention them. Looks like the weather weenies had it right. We have about 2 or 3 inches and it has yet to stop. Guess it depends where you are around the Lake. I don't often get Lake Effect snow in the City.
-

Those are the UV templates for most anything. They are not mandatory and not always included by a vendor. They don't have to be anywhere in particular as they are not directly used by Poser itself. They are used by you as an aid to re-texturing a mesh in a paint program of your choice. File them in a way that makes sense to you.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin....Me and the Snow Joe are DONE.
PDG....My snow joe is a smaller version then the one they are peddling now...plus mine is corded and not battery. I was tempted to get the bigger one but after reading actual review....you have to recharge after 45 minutes of use. I just spent two hour of continuous snowblowing with my Snow Joe...no recharge required. It wouldn't take so long if I didn't have to do this....

Centimeters of snow are just something of souvenirs here :tearlaugh:

Don't you hate it when the scene looks better in the preview window than it does rendered lol.
When it happens yes. Isn't something with the choosen settings - iray versus 3dl?
-
In some ways yes but here are the render and a screen shot of the iray preview screen..
-

It makes me think like if the shadow of the sky was launch on the objects, but the cherry tree is the only one to refuse it.
Concerning disappearing water, I don't know what to tell :lostme:
-
The cherry tree wouldnt because I have different shades of pink emmissives on the flowers. Give it a sureal look. Actual like the way it rendered but the preview has a more ethereal look
-
Good Morning to all.....Only in here for a short tour. Got to start getting this Christmas Stuff taken down and put away. Haven't had a chance to even start yet due to Snow interrupting me LOL...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir......Ahhhhhh

I got the belly button hernia fixed many years ago. After which I had nothing to catch the fuzzy lint. On a good note I have nothing to unscrew and my a$$ does not fall off. :woohoo:
-
Good Morning to all.....
That is great news Fafnir...>Glad it went the way you planned......Keep me up to date...
That is some beard PDG.....I tried doing a bushy one this year...but didn't like it...so I trimmed it down. I have a beard in the winter....and a goatee the rest of the year.
Late start this morning.....and I need plenty of :java: Ahhhhh

To post in the gallery? If so, remember to check if your image is having one of those things
$ / \ : * ? " '< > | ` & # @
If one is inside the name of your .jpg, .png... The gallery refuses it.
Check the size and weight too (3000 px x 3000 px & 1600 kb or less). It happens to me I forget the weight and have to resize to disminish it.

Thanks for answering that Aelin....I was preoccupied LOLOL....

Gadzooks man! Is that your driveway?! Where is the car?! That seed sock was a brilliant idea too. My dad used to make feeders with hardware cloth. Different sizes. I used to wonder how come my dad and uncles knew so darn much about paint and hardware. Well, Granddaddy owned the hardware store with our name on it, and Granny used to have the Sherwin-Williams paint store in that town. "Oh, right!" DOH! In summer vacations pop would sometimes drive us all out that a way to visit them. Parents thought nothing of visiting them while they were working either. They sure loved seeing us, so I suppose they didn't mind. After all, what do they have employees for anyway? Heh!

As usual; a day late and a dollar short. McG this is the FB profile pic I've been using since the beginning of last March. The beard is three times as long now and growing strong.
Ha! Yeah I see whatcha mean. It reminds me of this one I selfied back in this May 2020.

used to have a beard like the ones the ZZ Top boys have but when i started commercial fishing the beard and long hair had to go

Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready with plenty of rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked BBQ ribs with all the trimmings for later on
Oh good, COFFEE !!! Been running me ragged with all these back to back VA med center doc visits last two weeks. Finally sorted, mostly. Get a nurse visit every day now. Nurse left yesterday 6pm, I make my dinner, wash up, lie down watching a movie. Wake up 11:30 ish, up till 5am, take a nap and wake up 10 mins before next nurse arrives. SHEESH! That's about 20 hrs sleep in one day! Maybe I caught up! :lostme:
-
good luck on the catching up McG

:lostme: Did we Ever get the Novembers Contests winners?

Hi Guys. Still working on whatever. I'm not quite sure what the problem was with post, but it sort of "hung" in mid post. Also, I had pulled a picture from one of remote HDs. All within proper parameters I believe. No overly long name or a mish mash of signs. Oh well, it is what it is.

Good morning guys!
Today is a day with rain, sun, wind, rain... your choice :tearlaugh:

That be a negatory, dear lady. It was an old shot that was just a string of numbers from an early Digicam. All seems to be good though. Will try again later as I have missions to complete and errands to run. Tallyho!!!!!!!!
-
Good missions to you!
I never tried with many numbers at the following. Maybe it's the reason of the craziness of the gallery :lostme: I know TL put photos in the gallery by the past, I can check what were the names for.
-
Ok, apparently TL renames his photos.
I found that one by J, with numbers
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=12982
N8Dreams made with letters and numbers
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=21145
gothhillbilly had many numbers

Birdman said it's a fantasy vehicle. Now to know who had the idea first between Birdman and Petipet, I can't tell. But I liked the vehicle the first time I saw it in a Mtdana's work.

Good Morning to all.....
Well, at least this next snow storm is going to visit many so we won't feel picked on by Mother Nature here in the Great Lakes area. I guess they are saying 9" or more in our area...then this thing travels all the way to the East Coast. Even Virginia will get touched by it...
But in the meantime....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...great as always....

Cold it still be.. Morning and laughing too hard just hope this can count as a heart in the image for February.

Well, I'm hoping we will be back on track with a wee bit of normalcy in here so we don't have to "Catch Up" with things.....
Will have to see what you did LOLOL

This is the Neverwas Haul real vehicle, motor home or whatever it is. It shows up at Burning Man festival as one of the mutant vehicles.
-
Reminds me of the one in the movie Howl's Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki
-
A very distant relative but Howl's castle walked, Neverwas has wheels.
-
As mentioned "reminds me of" but glad to hear they are relatives to one another and are on speaking terms :tearlaugh:
-
That is one strange vehicle. But it looks like fun. Get up in the control booth and go to town!! Literally. Nice way to go, however it takes you. Meanwhile, woke up cold this AM as we have a small cold front coming through. Think I meander over to Fafnir's and grab a good :java: and some BACON!!!!

And creeping further, The Boar Hat rides on Hawk Momma's back. Not only feet but an entire giant boar.

Now that remark, Sir Knight, seems to bring back images of the Seven Deadly Sins, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, educated me this fine day have not seen or read this take previously. Got to love learning and reading new things.

Darn. Just found out that I had won the SAOTW for the week of the 19th, and the Sponsor's showcase is down. :thud: Hope DA can get it back up soon. I have a couple of prizes to get caught up with.

As do several other of our fine members.
I waited a week on delivering the announcements on the off chance that it would be back on line today. However I did not want you and the others to not be aware of the fact that you get the chance to get some free stuff.
-
Now that remark, Sir Knight, seems to bring back images of the Seven Deadly Sins, if I'm not mistaken.
Yep. After I wrote that and hit Post, I thought , "That might be a pretty obscure reference. I should say it's from the Seven Deadly Sins." And then the equivalent of "Squirrel! " occurred and off I went. :shrug:
-
Now now Kianna said nothing about any squirrels ... :iminnocent:
-
She had plenty to say about the "Nuts" though :iminnocent:
-
And thou art her favorite one
-
As long as she just considers me a "Nut" and nothing more....I'm happy with that .... :woohoo: :grenade: :woohoo:
-
As long as she just considers me a "Nut" and nothing more....I'm happy with that .... :woohoo: :grenade: :woohoo:
Just can't read between the lines today can thee ... in the wild squirrels store nuts so guess what she likes to do ... save them and nibble on them at random ... you are in for some fun times in the future ... just saying
-
And nightmares for everyone else after reading that :tearlaugh:
-
Passes Aelin the brain bleach, extra strong
-
Sissies
-
Keep in mind that a study done at the University of Richmond cites that squirrels fail to recover up to 74% of the nuts they bury.
So the odds are in my favor that my nuts won't be involved.... :java:
-
Unfortunately for you, if they are like hamsters with their hazelnuts, they always are able to find their favorite ones :shrug: (And the nightmares are growing despite the Dreamer's help :tearlaugh: )
Excellent end of day guys! I see you tomorrow, with perhaps a worse crazy mind :odd: :psycho:

LOL.....You are NO HELP Aelin...... :thud:
Have a good night......
My New Years Resolution was to find Kianna a Suitable Companion.... Since I'm out of the running, and she doesn't want "J".....that leaves an opening for a few others she's been eyeing....GOOD LUCK FELLAS....
Hummmm....this should be a interesting year.

Good Morning to All....oh wait....it's afternoon......it took me that long to clear this snowfall. And it's still snowing...but a lot lighter now so all is good.
And this was the first snow storm where I had to use the roof scrapper. The winds just blew that snow in one direction and the right side of my roof had 3-1/2 Feet of snow on it...
Then saw Bobs roof was in the same shape as mine...so I took the time to do his also.... He's 78 and though I'm no spring chicken....I knew he couldn't do it on his own....so all was good...
And now for a quick tour and then check my Email and then watch some MST3K....
But first....I'll take a :java: to go......
-
oh yeah! :java: :(DEVILISH): Huh HUH huh huh huh!
-
Good morning guys!
That's a lot of snow on the roof, it's sure :panic: I'm sure Bob will send you back the favor next time he will have the occasion.

coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried snapper with hushpuppies coleslaw and BBQ beans

Sounds like a good excuse to meander on over. Coffee to open the eyes and Bacon to put you in the mood for a nap. What could go wrong?
-
sounded good to me too except i had to go run errands but can take nap now
-
From a cartoon a while back:
Things getting confusing?
There's a nap for that.

Have a great night Aelin....I'm out of here also...Trying to update Passwords....what a PITA
-
OY!! Think I could do without the PITA. But, it is what it is. Have to go to Temple in the AM. 'Nother VA appointment. Good thing too, my CPAP machine sort of committed Hari-Kiri last night/this AM. Damn thing started emitting a very harsh electronic buzz that woke me up round 0600. Not to mention rising and falling in volume and tone as I continued to breathe on it. Connie slept through it, but not the kid. Like tryin' to sleep with the alarm going off and not stopping. Think I'll reanimate one of the older ones I have just so I can get in a good night's sleep. :thud:
-
Good morning guys!
Wow, that a hard start of day you can tell Hipshot :thud:
-
Morning .. Cross the fingers. Coworker went to get tested for covid.
-
hope all goes well with the testing and everything is good for you Noshoba

coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings

Thanks Fafnir, I'm taking the cocoa to go with our Candlemas crepes yum!
-
your welcome Aelin enjoy
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
A late be well Aelin. Well looks like I am off to be tested. Since we share the same truck.... and he came back positive. I guess I am one of those people that are asymptomatic if I do come back positive.
-
Good morning guys!
Wow, that a hard start of day you can tell Hipshot :thud:
You got that right. As I said resurrected one of the old units, but my pressures have changed since then. Those of Connie were TOO damn low and the one I brought back to life was almost as bad. :thud: In any case, got to VA, gave a donation to the vampires, then wandered over to the dispensing station for the covid vaccinations. There wasn't a lot of folks about and we got ours. Just stood us against the wall and they started tossing. Got lucky and the first two hit close enough to be counted.
Then, it was time for the fun to begin. :woohoo: Got up to the Pulmonary Clinic and 'splained the problem. Got told to hang about for a bit - just long enough to get into Poul Anderson's Time Patrol ... Sorry of Odin the Goth - and one of the orderlies brought me a new machine already set to my specs. Its getting late and now time to give it a work out. So, I will say good night to all. And especially you, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are. :pervy:

good luck with the testing Noshoba i hope it is negative and all is well
-
Hipshot good to hear that everything went well for you and Connie and that you got a new machine
-
i have an early morning appointment with my heart doc [checkup] will be back later
-
Thanks Fafnir. Suspect I will still end up in 10 day quarantine. Bad part is working with a hypochondriac who is agraid of doctors. Wont say he totally practices risky behavior but he is constantly having people popping up at house.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning Aelin
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Not much being said here. Sorry to hear you have to quarantine Noshoba but probably better than having symptoms.
Have a great night, Aelin.
-
Not quarentined yet. Took test this morning. Company had me work a job today since place was vacant. Same tomorrow. If I have it I am one of the asymptomatic ones.
-
I am in the city that made the Today show I think it was where they filmed all the people at the restuarants and bars not wearing masks and all snugged up to each other partying.
-
yea i remember that i do why don't people listen

They are jealous of all the Millenials that get away with murder?

Ya think Nosh????
*channels in deep sepulchral voice ... aka ... Lurch . . .*
Good evening. Got up this AM to finish running about with Connie. Returned home feeling a bit worse for wear. That shot was a nasty one. Body aches up the kazoo ..... *kazoo ???? . . . . no idea as to where one would find that on the human anatomy!! * No real fever or anything else. Just feeling a bit miserable. Returned home and laid down for a l- o-o-o - n - g nap. Man, did it feel good. Especially with that new CPAP. Now, back at computer and still planning to take it easy. Considering next render, as well as subject, but I think I'll just work on manuscript.

I see and hear around my little world. I see the same, people not wearing masks and not respecting space. I hear people with disgusted tone that truly do not believe there is a problem more serious than "regular flu". So how many people did each of the influenza variants kill before vaccines were developed? It was MILLIONS in just weeks for that Spanish Flu. Then what about the Swine Flu? Actually, since I was around 10 years old, I recall a LOT of names prefixing the word FLU. Includes some jumbles of letters and numbers at times. I recall an Avian Flu in the 90's that killed over 100,000 people in two months here in the US. There is no one place the FLU originates. It springs up everywhere animals (including humans!) congregate for long periods. INFLUENZA is a virus. Viruses are some particularly weird creatures. Our own cells can and DO produce virus. Nevermind that angle. Look at the contagion factor of the existing ones. ALL these flu bugs spread easily among US. So now we got one that does something especially dangerous to a LOT of humans. It clobbers the respiratory areas, and gets in the lungs, and simply causes us to drown in our own fluids. And, it does that quickly. It IS worth MY life to protect myself (and others from my 'droplets') by sensible distancing and face masks to prevent respiration spread. I look for the same simple things from other people. This complete disregard of two precautions is grossly stupid, in my NOT so humble opinion.Look everyone, BE SAFE, ok? IF you are being safe for yourself, you are being safe for others at the same time!
-
Good morning guys!
And here, one of the "more reached" départements by covid we always are asking around to know somebody who had it. Nope, nope and nope. Neighbors didn't have, their families and friends either. Yet, less than 120 000 inhabitants, so...
And all friends and family I know are doing the same.
The only case we know are one of my cousins like I said. My a heart issue. And that such "terrible illness", docs said to her to take only doliprane to heal. If it was so terrible, she would have ended in the hospital, not at home. By the way, so much contagious than her boyfriend and her son didn't have it - and yes, they live with her all time and they had a test.
And sorry, but why it's contagious in restaurants and not in metro? Why in theaters, or movie theathers? Don't start to talk of masks or "security" distances, because all those places made all possible arrangements.
And if it's so contagious, live inside a scaphander, or astronaut outfit forever. You should be safe.
-
:lostme: Well Depending on the Person You can be Immune to it already and have a very mild case that even you do not feel sick and still have a low chance to spread if you have it, OR You can Be Typhoid Mary and Have a High Spread. It depends on the person. As for the Here not There thing I think the whole thing needs to be looked at by people who are not getting rich from the blind Panic that is making them Rich and You poor.
-
Good Morning to all. In here for a short visit.
Stay well Noshoba...I'm wearing my Space Suit...that should keep me safe....Right Aelin.... :(DEVILISH):
Snowing like hell once again and we are going to be in that Polar Vortex along with MANY MANY others.... So I'm getting prepared as well as I can. So off to make a tour with :java: in hand....
-
Good Morning,
Trying to clean the house today, just stop by to say hello. Hmmm...... Now where did I leave my official Attic Jacket??
-
Yup, cold wave on its way here too TL. YOU be safe man, just keep enough snow out to keep you safe and your home intact!
I have to agree with Aelin. What SHE is seeing does sound pretty dumb. I have known some veterans at the VA hospital that were volunteer drivers and helpers. 3 of them are gone now. Between one visit and the next, gone. Two were IN the hospital last visit, and one was supposed to pull through. Maybe it does matter WHERE you are. All I know is what I am seeing. Oh, I know one man that had this COVID, and he got through it and finished his quarantine and is OK now. That's terrific. I really do hope this is something that passes and is done. SOON!
-
You guys are right too, I think. It does depend on the individual person as to immunity, ability to fight the virus with their own immune system. It IS a flu bug. A bad one. But aren't they ALL bad, until we develop a way to fight it? Yes. THAT too holds true.
Every time someone walks through my door, I get to deal with possibly being exposed to it. Each new nurse COULD bring it to me. Or not. I say, just be safe for yourself.
:thud: :java: :explode: :shock: :yippee: :overthefence: :nurse: :docin:
-
What does not make sense is quarantining people that are not sick or carriers, while many of the already diagnosed with Covid 19 are allowed to walk around spreading it. While I agree that we need to take the precautions that are recommended, I also think this "Pandemic" is being used for political purposes.
When I went to vote, a woman working the polls, not wearing a mask, walks up to me and tells me I cannot enter without wearing a mask! Well fortunately I happened to have one in my jacket pocket, which I quickly produced and put on. While casting my votes, I looked up, and there she was staring at me with an angry look on her face! What's up with that? My guess is that she was looking for ways to stop people from voting. When she was talking to me, she also asked me who I planned to vote for! Inappropriate, if ever anything was! I told her it was none of her business, and that question is why I was looking up. I needed to make sure she was not peering over my shoulder. She made me feel uncomfortable.
That said, I personally have to wonder if this thing is as bad as they keep saying, because in my area I know of no one at all that has caught the virus. As for the ones that do have it being allowed to walk around, possibly spreading it, since when is that to be accepted?
:rat-atat:
-
Have to agree with you there Agent. Though I have my own take on this Covid Crap. Nuff said there. Have seen many folks walking about sans mask, only placing it on mugs when going into a store/restaurant/gas station/Etc. Then, soon's they come back out, off it comes. Personally, I think I caught it when it first appeared with a semi-mild case. Haven't been bothered since, though I did get vaccinated. Now, I just watch the various TV talk shows in order to get a good laugh.
With as much crap as I've had to put up with over the years, including pneumonia - a lot of which could have easily killed my dumb ass - I figure that I'm not going to check out just because of some lousy bug. If I do, then its been a fun ride. If not, stand by for the malarkey to continue!!!!!
:ifonly: :woohoo:
-
get vaccinated they say well it would help if they had the vaccine available and would distribute it as they say they are doing called the county health people and they say sorry we are out and not sure when we going to get more wish they would give it to doctors then they could vaccinate their patients and get things done quicker but it is FUBAR as they don't do as they should
-
Vaccines tested on animals, no thank you.
And never they were able to find a vaccine against a coronavirus in one hundred years. Suddenly, few weeks and they can. If they are so good suddenly, why the AIDS hasn't its own working vaccine?
One last word: "vivre tue". It's like that everyday, every breath. We have to deal with that. Same for the rest.
Excellent end of day guys
-
:lostme: I thought it was "vivre seul, tue seul!" :thud:
-
Well just got home from work. No comment on that one although they are sending me to take care of vacant properties so I am not around anyone. Until the results come back. They had to shift so much around just get it covered . Since I feel fine and not so much my coworker I usually ride with it. Like I said probably have it but asymptomatic. Afterall we ride together in same truck. Problem is our employer is basically going oh well about helping him out while he has to quarentine. Which is ashame since our glorious leader in NC was one of those calling it fake and caught a severe case of it.

If this virus is so dangerous, why does one have to be tested to know if you have it?
If this virus is so dangerous, what makes one think a paper mask is going to prevent it?
If this virus is so dangerous, where are all the bio-hazard bins for disposed masks?
Enough said

you got that right J

We are on the point to discover if our mini forecast weather always feels the coming thunderstorms. Official forecast is telling we'll have one tomorrow.
But the mini already said by advance for some strong winds the last week. You know, putting a part of his stock just below his water bottle :tearlaugh:

Jherr, cause the ones trying to prevent and contain made a fundamental mistake.
Presuming the general populace knows how to be sanitary, a look at the uncountable used diapers at the side of the roads, Should, have given a clue.
Ooh... this box is high, I hope.....
*Murphy's closet sounds*

Is truth. Nice to hear so many wise comments from folk who might otherwise seem a little dotty to others. I guess that I'm in the right crowd ....... metaphysically speaking.
Oh, and Fafnir??? That is one of the cleaner descriptions I have heard of such a low form of life. Politicians ...... ugh!! ... even that make me feel unclean ..... and lawyers. Know what you would have if you dropped them all to the bottom of the ocean?

A really filthy ocean bottom!!!

There are whole fairly large areas of the country, and the world in general that are still unaffected by the virus. I should know, because I live in one of them, and guess what? It's a resort area! We get vacationers here year round. I would think that if the virus is all that they are trying to say it is, vacationers would be among the quickest ways for it to spread. We here do practice the protocols recommended concerning it, but the real tragedy is the loss of many small businesses due to the "supposed pandemic". Many of our businesses right here in High Falls GA closed down, and one was a great restaurant that I and my brothers frequented often. Our friend that owned it is nowhere to be found here now! And all of that because of a "supposed pandemic" that does not appear to be anywhere near as bad as they want us to believe.
To add to how bogus this thing seems, my brother in law is a truck driver, and he had to be tested because he was exposed to it by people at a place he was delivering a load of products to. There was someone working there that had it, but was still working after the diagnosis. My brother in law does not have it, and he was right next to that guy off and on for 2 hours. The guy was coughing the whole time. Yeah he wore a mask, but he was not social distancing at all. The other workers there were exposed too, and so far only one has caught it, and his case is reported to be a mild one.
Folks, the virus is most dangerous to people that have chronic respiratory illnesses. Well guess what, I have stage one asthma and bronchitis. I've likely been exposed several times, and have yet to feel even the slightest of the known symptoms. The same goes for everybody I know in my area.
I think while the virus is real, they are hyping it up to seem worse than it really is. The truth will come out in the end.
-
Like so many viral outbreaks, the olde, infirm, and youngest are hit worse. Many people have illness that make them vunerable, and of course the idiots that refuse infant vaccinations because, "Polio doesn't exist anymore". Yeah right.... They fail to realize that the vacc programme is what has reduced the frequency of older diseases. Organic foods..... Arsenic is organic you know....

The good thing about conversations is we all have our own opinion and that's all it is....an opinion. :grenade:

Anyway....in here for a quick tour....And see who is who and what is where....and why....with :java: in hand....

Have a great night Aelin....see you in the morn....

You can keep that "damn cold" right up there with thee, I read your PM about the temps up there ...

You can keep them, while I bask in temps that are on the (higher) plus side of the zero mark.

Although this past week even though it was on the plus side of the zero mark were still awfully damn "frigid"

I know....My sister in law and niece send me a weekly weather bitch LOLOL
-
Hummmm :lostme: Maybe that didn't come out right....How about "Weekly Complaint".....

you got that right J

Right. Security is not "given" . . . . it is won. By those who are willing to sacrifice for the ungrateful.

morning coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon and for later on there will be slow smoked brisket with coleslaw beans and hushpuppies with fresh baked sourdough bread
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the coffee. Biscuits and bacon look good, too.
-
morning Sir Knight hope you are having a great day and all is well
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Things are going well here. A foot of snow on the ground and a little more coming tomorrow. Not the disaster that would be for Florida, just SNAFU. I may and that is may be about to escape most of management duties. I hope you, Janet and Molly are doing well, too.

Exactly. Wasn't one in your signature during a while?
Nowwww, back to the weather thanks to mini forecast. Last evening and during the night and earlier morning, no sign for a t-storm. He acted simply normally, even if a little less running the last night for what I know.
Then during the morning he decided it was time to put a part of the stock on the higher platform - just under the water tube :thud:
Maybe he is disturbed by the sky. It's pretty quiet outside, but the color of full clouds: grey and yellow :lostme: It's like a stormy sky without the storm. It's possible we have just sand inside the clouds, but since the beginning of the morning, that's a lot of sand - and we are more than 1:30PM here now.
-
Perhaps moving the stock under the water tube is a prediction of a sand storm. :nopanic;
-
Good Morning to all.... a wee bit chilly this morning - minus 2....but our high be 7 degrees for the day.... :woohoo: :grenade:
Doesn't matter to me....Not going anywhere today. Went out and got the mail yesterday and took the vehicle around the town a couple of times so today I don't need to do either.... Tomorrow may be a different story LOL....
And now to get things started.... Thanks for the coffee Fafnir :java: Ahhhh... Morning Sir Knight and Aelin.....
-
And Good Morning PDG....didn't see you when I got on....
-
Top O' the mornin' to ye all. Coffee looks good as always Faf. Most appreciated. Not going out today as did all my running around yestere'en. Got VA for Connie out of the way. Puppies have plenty of chow for the day, we're looking good so time to kick back and relax. Connie is still 10-7 so it'll be a quiet morn for a bit. Meanwhile, that bacon also sounds pretty good. Thanks Bro. :woohoo:
-

Big truth

Another fact, think we might have to watch that episode today ... just because I can
-
Morning HS....I did all my "going out" yesterday since the North Pole seems to be located in Wisconsin right now LOL
-
And Good Morning PDG....didn't see you when I got on....
Just grabbed a quick cup on the way through. Ed was by to take me shopping. Never did get the snow they forecast. Damn cold though and the wind is a little bitter.
-
Bloody Rendo is breaking my mind today. Grabbed the latest Poser update yesterday to check out if Bondware fixed what they broke in the last two. Some of 'em. Damn site went dark when the license was updating on my render box and screwed the install. The fact that both Rendo and Bondware were dark and Hivewire had given me an issue earlier in the day with the DNS not resolving I was beginning I screwed my registry somehow. Everybody is back now and all is good, but I think I'm gonna need a cup o' Fafnir's Wond'rus Elixir for both fortitude and inspiration while I break the the volume again in Superfly. They still pooched the HDRI size limits which wrecks quality environmental lighting.
Sometimes I think I should get a better handle on Blender. That or write a Python script to take OpenVDB files over to Poser. I saw "Vehicles" as a contest theme somewhere and I have a Poser night time, under the streetlight, alleyway scene I've been building props for. Recycling bins, trash bags, garbage cans, loose litter and the like. Drop a garbage truck in there with a little smoke sim on the back tires, some madman at the wheel with a guy hanging by one hand off the back, legs flailing in the air and Bob's Yer Uncle. I'm currently working on the truck for back alley trash collector project so I have everything I need except the smoke sim which I can do in Blender in less than 30 seconds. Thus off I go to break the newly fixed volume in Superfly Cycles.
-
Love the description of your vehicle image that is sounding very cool
-
The end of the afternoon ended with only grey clouds. Sand should be somewhere else finally :grenade: We had a lot of rain after that - or I must tell melted snow according the noise and the temperatures.
PDG all I can tell is every program is welcome in contests. More we have diversity, more we have fun to look and wonder if we can do it too.
-
I think it will be May or June before any of our snow starts melting LOLOL....
-
How about that, been looking very grey all day and now at long last it is starting to rain ... barely a drizzle now but I can hear thunder in the distance ... so all bets are off.
Thankfully I got all of the shopping done and put up so it can rain all it wants ... :tearlaugh:
-
My journey today was to the yard...fill up the bird feeders and get back inside before everything on me froze....and PDG....You're absolutely correct in saying that the wind is bitter...and then some...
-
Don't have any bird feeders :tearlaugh: did put some food out for the stray cats in the neighborhood.
-
I can only put Dry Food out for the cats. Have wet food for them but it freezes LOLOL
-
That is all they get here, as only Watanuki gets the good stuff, hell he gives me lip when he sees me take a scoop full of dry outside ... I am sure he doesn't understand what I am doing but he sees his food being taken outside and he can not get at it. Probably not happy ....
-
Sure "Hey Dad, what are you doing? I'm heeeeeeeeeere!"
:tearlaugh:
Here it's dry food all the long of the day. And a half portion of wet food for each cat (if we give more to the younger, her poo smells like the meat she ate but stronger, so risk for her kidneys since she is at home; I lived that with my previous baby in her last years). If you see the youngest turning around over and over to have faster the wet food :tearlaugh:
-
Oz is the same way but when I try to give him what I'm giving the outside cats...he looks at me as if to say "Are you kidding?" :tearlaugh:
-
The "are you kidding me" look from Watanuki is more to say, why are you giving my food away? :tearlaugh:
-
Oz is the same way but when I try to give him what I'm giving the outside cats...he looks at me as if to say "Are you kidding?" :tearlaugh:
Not enough good for the sir of course. You are lying to him, showing not what you are trully giving to the others :winks: :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
mornin all coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be baked ham and sweet taters
-
Morning Fafnir.. Well test came back negative ...but didnt make sense... lol.
Remember the old skit " I am not one to gossip , but...". It reads like that. Will call the doctor Monday and see if they can explain it.
-
Good morning guys!
According what I know, the sand in the skies of France was supposed to be only on the East part of the country. But we are in the West and we had it too :lostme: It's probably like those storms we aren't supposed to have but we end with several times a year :tearlaugh:
-
Well, how boring did a quick run on the taxes for the blood sucking parasites and lo and behold once more I owe :sigh:
I am going to have to have this looked at by one of those places.
-
glad to hear the test was negative Nosh hopefully everything will be ok and doc will have an explanation for you
-
Morning Fafnir.. Well test came back negative ...but didnt make sense... lol.

That doesn't inspire one with a whole lot of confidence in their abilities does it now?
-
Good Morning to all......
Got my Sunday Duties taken care of and now to see what is what in here and then I'll have to leave once again since I've got things to get done around the house.
And enjoy some old time TV. Right not I've got the original "Kolchak~The Nightstalker show on. LOVE IT.
You Tube is a wonderful place indeed. So many favorites to pick from. I even found "The Patty Duke Show", Burkes Law, McHales Navy, The Green Hornet, Rat Patrol, Night Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock Hour and many more....It's going to be a enjoyable day.
Now to take a tour and see what is what and where is why....
-
Woke to rain this morning and it has ceased about an hour ago. Doesn't matter much since all my outside errands are complete, so just the normal house hold stuff like laundry and so forth ....
Which means the kitchen is calling my name.
Got me some
Sriracha-Buffalo Cauliflower Bites (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23841.msg404532#msg404532)
Firecracker Chicken (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23746.msg403410#msg403410)
in progress.
Boy howdy do it smell good
-
Well, how boring did a quick run on the taxes for the blood sucking parasites and lo and behold once more I owe :sigh:
I am going to have to have this looked at by one of those places.
Haven't even started mine yet. Of all things to happen now, my Bank had been acquired by another now account numbers will change...and since I do everything via direct payments and deposits...I'll have to change all my accounts to the new numbers :thud:
Do you do long form or short form "J"?
-
Long form typically and did so this time. Not certain that I am taking advantage of all the stuff I can avail myself of though, bad news is I did make more this year then last year. That is what happens when one spends a large amount of time developing the syllabus for the new semester which is all on a 1099 with no tax taken out.
-
Ouch....when no taxes are taken out it's bound to be gotten somehow by the government....
-
Under a normal amount of school work I can break even, this past year I did extra work and yep got the proverbial "BOHICA" moment
(bend over here it comes again)

-
Thought that I was going to have a nice "quiet" Sunday. :thud: Serves me right for thinking. Forgot that never to be forgotten axiom . . . . "no plan ever survives first contact". Had to get more pet food as some lowlife decided to hoard most of the pet foods we use. That, and daughter feeding her cat . . . . feral . . . . food that's meant for an older, indoor cat with teeth problems. Go figure. Now just have to survive another trip to the VA in the AM. This one for Connie. Meanwhile, there's coffee over at Fafnir's that I'm gonna make use of . . . .
-
I know how you feel, I got robbed by an ATM that is not maintained by any of the banks here I find. I called their 500# 3 times got no person even holding for one for 20 minutes each time.
Called my bank and they just now was able to send in the form needed to try and get me loot back. They said that we might not see it till mid March, needless to say my bills don't like the wait, the water bill is telling me it doesn't matter they want all the money or they will shut my water off then charge to put it back later. Imagine that, with the illness going round and it being icy cold with snow and they will turn off the water that is surely needed...pigs.
I too am with hardly anything to munch and cats are almost out of food and totally out of litter...life can be cruel it seems. :thud:
-
Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready there is rye rum bourbon and scotch to fortify the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with roasted potatoes and green beans
-
Good morning guys!
Mary, I'm sorry to read that. It's always easy for banks to take money, but to give it back, that's another story. You should present to them the bills and tell them to pay the bills like you can't. After all, it's their fault like the ATM isn't maintened.
-
Excellent end of day guys

goodnight Aelin

Good morning attic family! Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for not being around. Lots has happened.
Lost a family member to heart attack/covid, was working 12-13 hours a day between both jobs
AND good news... I am very happy to say that I am now a full time library staff member(after 11 years), so leaving the super market job(after 13 years part time)hopefully in one more week(trying to collect all my time before leaving, so been working one day a week there). I will be able to spend a bit more time here in the attic like I used to and miss doing so!
So will talk later, miss you all!
Sandra(T.I.)
-
Morning.. Sorry for your loss but glad you will be on more often.

Good Morning to all.....
A FRIGID day again.... It was so cold yesterday that my neighbors water pipes froze up so I had Jenna and her younguns here most of the day...thus no time to get on the net. Danny and Timothy enjoyed the Nintendo and Isabelle (Izzy...the youngest) enjoyed the coloring books and crayons I keep here for the Great Grands.
Jennas Dad and her boyfriend spent the day trying to get things working but finally had to call in the pros. Took the plumbers about 2 hours to switch out the pipes and put heat tape on all the exposed pipes...
I think it will take most of this afternoon to get my place straight LOL....fed them lunch and dinner and I don't have a big kitchen set so all ate in the living room whilst watching cartoons. I've got crumbs gallow everywhere. Oz is loving it though :thud:
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir.... Welcome back TI...good to see you in our humble home again.
Good Morning Aelin, Noshoba, Sir Knight and I see "J" in here...maybe....
Anyway..let me see what I missed, with :java: in hand
-
Morning Wizzard...you must have snuck in whilst I was typing.....
-
Naaahh thel, just teleported to the coffee urn for a refill. 8 )
Stay warm my friend.
Cheers
-
Might want to borrow that teleporter of yours Wiz. Rough couple of days. Now got a day break and looking forward to fixing some home made chili for the family. Tomorrow got to take Connie back to the VA. Some minor surgery for a hernia. We shall see how it turns out. Other than that ..... ? We shall see.
-
Thank you guys. I really miss it here! And today library is closed due to our wonderful snow weather
:java:
-
Not going out today at all. Well, gotta feed the birds....but that's it....To Damn Cold...even for snow LOLOL. Besides...I still have 18" of snow on the ground.
-
with 18" of snow i would be in hibernation mode
-
Right. Security is not "given" . . . . it is won. By those who are willing to sacrifice for the ungrateful.
A little military philosophy there . . . . sorry . . . . *not really*
well bless my cats! I think the ol tanker has been in ye olde Military, going by that bit of altruism up there! :D
-
we just got half an inch of ice, Fafnir. And low teens with 99% humiditity! Some call that an ice storm, but it didn't 'storm' exactly. Just sorta settled down like a slow blanket! It's pretty, and pretty dang cold too.
-
and slick too i bet
-
Tell you what McG.....I'll keep my snow...you keep your ice.... :thud:
-
don't like ice either unless its ice cubes to put in iced tea
-
or Iced Coffee :woohoo: .....
-
Here no snow at all.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
or Iced Coffee :woohoo: .....
:ummm: What is the point of coffee if you abuse it with ice? :tearlaugh:
-
Sort of in here and out all in a trice. Morning time before work, check in silent mode, to see if anyone is here and where the :java: is at
Then that crazy nonsense called work, more on that in my work thread boy was it a doozy today.
Now time for supper
-
iced coffee is good and even better with fresh cream in it you should try it J

Anyway...time to take a real quick tour with :java: in the right hand....Ow ow ow .... and one in the left hand....hard to type without spilling some at the moment...ow ow ow...
-
Greetings, fellow inmates. Got back from appt with the VA for Connie. Thankfully got some hellaciously good news. Went to see Doc about her "hernia". He took one look at the report, one look at her tummy ........ wait for it. ........... And then told us to GO HOME!
:woohoo:
It was some little thing not worth bothering about. Tempest in teacup type scenario. Her doctor just over reacted. Seems Connie's rectus tendon got stretched a bit . . . . and thus lost strength. Got plans to go to the gym when it warms up a bit ....... no snow here, thank the Goddess.
Back home now. Took a little nap and now back on computer.
:cheer: :deal: :confet: :cheer:
-
That's great news indeed...Second opinions are always a good thing to do if in doubt. Now kick back and relax for the night.......
-
And now I bid you all good night....I'm watching Buck Rogers on MST 3K...... Love it....
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the fixings
-
Hipshot glad to hear the VA trip worked out good for you and Connie and all is well
-
Morning Fafnir. Another long day in chucktown.
-
hope it is a good one Noshoba
-
Looking more like another wet one lol.
-
sky looks kind of cloudy here hope we got no fog this morning but no rain
-
We have been wet all week fog and all.
-
Good morning! Two or three inches of snow overnight here.
-
Good morning guys!
I saw your shadow last night in corridors TL, but hadn't time to wait for more :tearlaugh:
-
bright sunshine warm some breeze and fog burning off so a good day
-
well bless my cats! I think the ol tanker has been in ye olde Military, going by that bit of altruism up there! :D
What ever gave you that Idea McG???
Was going to be a nice day here ......... Not!!!!
:thud:
Got to take daughter to work. She just got a job . . . finally. Also found out that the weather has taken a turn for the worst. Got SNOW in the forecast for the next couple of days. Temps hovering round the 32-35 mark. OYY!!
Time for a good :java: from Fafnir's kitchen.
-
Good morning guys!
I saw your shadow last night in corridors TL, but hadn't time to wait for more :tearlaugh:
Good Morning,
If you saw his shadow and ran away does that mean he will have six more weeks of winter or you will get the snow, or was it just that disturbing. Any other wild haired shadows walking with him. :nurse:
-
Good Afternoon to all.
Had to stop by to answer a question Aelin asked....take a quick tour....and then I'm gone for the day. As mentioned....Daughter has clinic appts....Round one is done...round two is coming up soon and then round three later in the day....
I needed a :java: Fafnir.....so thanks.....and now to take a REAL quick tour and get ready for the next round....I have all of my appts next week LOL...
-
Good Morning,
If you saw his shadow and ran away does that mean he will have six more weeks of winter or you will get the snow, or was it just that disturbing. Any other wild haired shadows walking with him. :nurse:
I didn't know his true name was Phil :tearlaugh:
My question could wait until tomorrow TL, but I had to ask before to forget.
-
Finally recovered from morning drive to take daughter to work. Wasn't expecting to find car encased in a block of ice. Had to resort to brute strength just to get inside! Then had to knock a good eighth inch of ice off windshield, windows and mirrors. Headed out to daughter's new job just a slippin' and a slidin' all the way. Came all too close to playing live action bumper cars and it wasn't me who initiated the fun!!!! Got far too many hours under my belt cruisin' the strasse in Deutchland and Korea during the winter. In any case, now back home and definitely NOT looking forward to picking daughter up at 8pm.
Thank God this is Killeen Texas and NOT Ruidoso New Mexico
Got more storms coming in later in the week though. Oh well. Batten down the hatches, me buckos! We're gonna be in for a bumpy ride!!!!!!!
-
With your road story, you could make a funny scene for January contest :ifonly:
Glad you are back fine at home.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin
-
Back to normal Fl temps at long last so I am calling this a win in my book
-
Ok, so I am beginning to miss "Warm" now. It's 14°F here in the Tx Panhandle right now, will be 9°F when I go out the door in the morning, headed for A VA Doctor appointment. Snow begins here @ 20%. Sunday NOAA says our low will be around -9°F and snowing @ 100%. Expecting up to 18" by Monday morning. Yep, I figure I am missing Warm now. Leaving 2 hrs early for a 1 hr trip is reasonable too, gives me room to stop at a CEFCO station for a bit of breakfast on the way in to Amarillo. If the road is clear, that is! Been a week now since temp actually got over freezing. That was 76°F I think. Water is being dripped, and this one is what they mean by a HARD freeze. I think. Brrr! ..
.. :shiv: BRRRR! :sidetoside: :odd:
- Been quite a long time since temps have been so low here. Since before I got here 10 years ago.
-
Wow Everyone is having a Great time with this Warm :shiv: Weather!
I was So Good at Cleaning the Fireplace that I set my Shrubs on Fire! My neighbor Was so Nice As to help me put it out! o.o Anyway I Hope You all are Doing well!
-
Trying to be well, Radkres! Warm would maybe be a help, yaknow! I am sitting at my computer, in my room with a TShirt and long sleeve flannel shirt on and SOCKS too. Feet feel great, shoulders and back feel chilly! Yeah, I am actually missing "Warm" now! LOL!
- did you read about that 100 car pileup in Dallas on I-35? My nurse was telling me about that this afternoon.
-
Yes Read About it Did not Hear any more other than it Happened. :thud: Is Sad but with the Weather acting up most people in Texas Can not drive in Rain much less Ice!
-
be careful and stay warm McG
-
I might not get to go, depends on whether the ol Jeep will start. I drove it to Amarillo VA day before yesterday, battery is charged so it SHOULD crank up fine. Even in 0°F it should! I'll see in a few hours. The weather report says my roads are clear, so that's a relief. I see the "NEW" plow trucks. Full sized diesel dump trucks with sand/gravel spreader gates, and a huge heavy bulldozer blade with arms and hydraulics on the front. Extra headlights on the roof too. That's a big truck, tandem axle tractor with dump bed steads of a 5th wheel. The drivers don't drive em too fast, and don't need to. They sure do make short work of snow and ice on the freeways!Next thing they invent for the Smart Phones should be a mind reader so ya can keep driving both hands on wheel but the phone takes a pic of what we're seeing! LOL! Ah and also do the GPS thing to tell us where to turn and how far etc.! That'd be cool stuff. :)
-
Thanks Fafnir, I WILL be safe for sure. Working on the staying warm part now!
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and crispy bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried grouper sammies with hushpuppies and all the trimmings
-
Mornin to you all stay safe and warm
-
Morning..weather still cant make up its mind.
-
Almost forgot..was thinking of all of you in the frozen wasteland when I saw this on facebook....
-
Tis mild in this part of the Attic, currently in the 60's with a high predicted in the low 80's
Looks like rain but at 15% over the course of the day, hard to say if or when, then we do have the morning drivers delight "fog"
No real problem and since my work is all inside doing PM's on subscriber radios I call this an easy work day.
No one to pester me, ask silly questions or just be a thorn
-
Good morning guys!
It's melted snow we have coming from skies under the rain shape. But nothing comparable to what you have :hypno:
Trying to be well, Radkres! Warm would maybe be a help, yaknow! I am sitting at my computer, in my room with a TShirt and long sleeve flannel shirt on and SOCKS too. Feet feel great, shoulders and back feel chilly! Yeah, I am actually missing "Warm" now! LOL!
- did you read about that 100 car pileup in Dallas on I-35? My nurse was telling me about that this afternoon.
Heard from a friend of Oklahoma. She knows well that portion where the accident was, because she has to take it the few times she goes in Dallas. And no matter the weather, she never likes it.
Almost forgot..was thinking of all of you in the frozen wasteland when I saw this on facebook....
:tearlaugh:
-
Good morning, Attic folks. This is from 10 days ago but it still looks the same.
-
Free outside decorations for windows. At least the snow protects a little the ground from the ice.
-
Hi folks, well it did snow, everything is white out now. And it is 10°F too. Got to finish bundling up to get going. The little Doctors are getting real demanding on me. That bugs me a bit. Losing feet/legs bugs me more though. Sigh. Two hours early, I might get the 60 miles in time! Ha!Y'all say a little prayer for me and old Jeep ok?
-
What a strange snow. The NOAA Local Weather page said it was 11F when I turned BMR off. Jeep said it was 8F, then I started down the highway that dropped to 6F and stayed there a while. Oh well. The snow did great, looked beautiful, till any puff of breeze came and whisked it away. And that's what the highway was like, all the way into Amarillo. Little white swirly dervishes everywhere! Was not a wet snow in any way. Just never saw so many tiny little whirling dervishes is all. Everything was cool with the doctor. Then while walking in my door, my damp shoe slipped and down I went. WHAM. Not as bad as the snow angel incident, but it still smarts.
SO, time to start getting ready for the Nurse. Later y'all! - (oh, it's 13F now a veritable heatwave!)
-
Ouch!!!! Be careful McG . . . . now that's a helluva thing to tell someone AFTER the fact . . . . Falling down is never fun. Unless you can laugh about it. Supposed to get more nasty weather in courtesy of yet another storm system on the way. Least the weekend looks to be clear. Snow on Monday though. YUCK!!!!
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Yeah I call myself being careful and haul off and do THAT! LOL! My elder cat decided it was time to go play in the yard. I finally pulled myself up, went and got one of their moist food treats out, went to the door to tempt him back in. Well that kept him in the yard at least. So I got close enough to scruff him up quick, and he put up with that knowing he was about to get some goodie. We got in, I fixed their goodie, set it down for them and hear the little "smack-smack-smack-smack-smack-smack-smack-smack" ing, and knew that hit the spot. So now both knees are sore and my hand too. Well, I know some more stuff to look out for. These post-op shoes are not meant for hiking gear for sure.
It's cold everywhere up here, HipShot. Fortunately it's dry, even with the snow. Not much ice except for what coated all the trees and stuff from last week. The road was clear, no problems at all. I set the Jeep to 70 mph and it gave me 18 mpg. Yes that's a happy smile! Even with other folks whizzing right on by me. Let em whizz, I'm happy :oD :woohoo:
-
glad you didn't get hurt bad McG be more careful with post op shoes and getting back into the house
-
you sure got that right Fafnir! Thanks for the coffee man :)
-
I second that McG. That ice was no fun. Had to skate my way to the car for the last two days. Thankfully, today was no rain/snow so had an easy time of getting inside veh.
And yes, Aelin, I do have some interesting driving stories from various locations. SOME would be good, but others are more of an R or even X rating. And by that I mean messy/sloppy/gory. Not in any sense sexy. Unless of course you're into that sort of stuff.
Will have to recheck the parameters of said contest. Considering something that I can do with one of my catgirls.
-
(groan!) Yeah I am nursing two sore knees now. Gonna have to study the ground at least a little bit before putting my full weight on it.
Pain is one of the greatest of all teachers! :thud:
-
Good morning, Attic folks. This is from 10 days ago but it still looks the same.
The icicles are beautiful Sir Knight! Funny how that house behind you has no windows. How can they check on their neighbors, huh?! ;o)
-
I well imagine there are plenty of folks here at our warm and cozy Attic that have far worse weather conditions to deal with than this bit shows. That it is HERE is the bad part. This is right on the verge of desert, and in the 10 years I have been here now, this is the coldest weather I have seen yet. I get it though, Mother Nature can make it SO much worse. So I will endeavor to enjoy her blessings now! :o)Here is the NOAA Local Forecast for this weekend.
-
Sunday -10F with a high of 1°F GAAAAH! I don't think my deep freeze gets that cold!
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings
-
Well I'm back. Maybe. Just suffered through 40 hours without services. Building is on life support with a truck size genny in the back yard and a hole cut through the wall to bring in the umbilicals. Minus stupid plus a driving wind chill on a 70 year old, un-insulated, single pane glass windowed tower is not pretty. The water froze in the underground parking after 24 hours without heat so even though they managed to get some power in here; there is no water. No water means no boiler for heat. Three no boilers for heat or hot water as a matter of fact. The kicker is that due to COVID and the large number of ill people in this dump, nobody wants to step foot on the premises. Welcome to the projects. Canada Post stopped delivering to the building a week ago. Rented desile generator and the one on the roof are just enough to keep the elevators running and emergency lighting in the halls and stairwells. Remember; I'm the guy with no mobile phone. Trying to find out anything when the services are down and there are no phones or internet available just sucks. Off to email the kid sister a birthday greeting. She hits a new decade today and probably won't want to be reminded of that.
-
Morning and good luck park. Surprised they arent doing more .That place sounds not habitable in the slightest right now.
-
Good morning guys!
I'm ready to exchange a bit of our sun against a part of your snow. Despite the fact the level of the river is higher than in November. But we aren't yet at a dangerous level for flood.
Sorry to hear for you PDG.
-
We dont have to worry about the rivers getting high here more the land is sinking below the water level instead.
-
hope they get things running and heat and all services fixed for you PDG
-
yep Noshoba and you got plenty rivers there too
-
Morning and good luck park. Surprised they arent doing more .That place sounds not habitable in the slightest right now.
It's -4F outside ATM. I've a ceramic heater running full bore in an effort to get the place up to a livable temp. Currently appears to be about 57F in here if my math is correct. The City, my landlord; dropped off 2 500ml bottles of water door to door yesterday morning. For all uses. Sanitation, hydration, and sadly; for my now dead greenery, vegetation. Lost all my rooting clones due to the cold and darkness. The Ficus is fried. The fern frozen. Pot pooched. Hydro is offering food rebates for spoiled groceries in fridge or freezer. The basement storage is under 3 inches of thawing ice due to the water line freezing and bursting in Parking. It will be the third time that has happened during my time here.
It appears that some fool 3rd party contractor wiped out power to about 45 sq blocks. Took about 12 hours for the lucky ones to get services back. I was in the last group of 10 buildings that belong to City housing in the middle of the blackout. The poor old folk living rent geared to income like me don't rate very high up on the scale of taxpayer service.
-

Got a friend who moved to NOLA couple years back. Says that's his biggest fear.
-
That is just flat out wrong....but the new normal these days... just look at the Lt Governor in Texas that said all the old people should be happy to die to keep things open for the young people when covid broke out.
As for the other Fafnir.. Chucktown has some unusual factors affecting the sink here some natural and some man made. One that caught me offguard was related to last Ice Age and made sense. The ground was pushed down by the weight of the glaciers during that period and now that they are gone it the ground level is springing back.. We here are on the other side of that teeter totter and getting pushed down. Minor but enough to count.
-
Park I think our rate of sink is actually higher than there now. Why they are fighting over building a seawall like they have in the Netherlands.
-
hope they get things running and heat and all services fixed for you PDG
Power's up so I'm good. If it stays I'm even better. Word is that the boilers may take a couple days so heat is an issue and no hot water. Doesn't matter. I have cold water now at least. I grew up in way worse conditions. Wood stove in the kitchen and fireplace in the main room. It was always cold and the water was never warm. Sometimes it didn't pump at all. Provincial power was non-existent. I moved to the largest city in the country to avoid such issues. I'm just old and cranky now when it comes to this crap.
-
Good Morning to all....
Sorry to hear about your power situation PDG....but glad you on the road to recovery...somewhat. Like most in here....the frigid temps are here for many of us for a bit... Right now it's snowing like hell...again...I just shoveled snow yesterday in -2 degree temps... And next week -2 would look pretty good compared to what we have coming....Mother Nature is surely reminding us whose boss.
Was MIA yesterday due to the Daughters Appts...got home and was ready to get in here when my Pharmacy called and said my Round 1 covid shot is ready...so off I went....and when I got home, Lorna said her Doctor said to go to the Emergency Room because her sodium levels were way to low. She's been having problems and now it seems like low sodium levels is the cause.
Anyway....In here for a bit. Gotta pick some winners and see what is what....with :java: in hand.
-
Morning TL.. Since its pouring balls here .. Have the day off. Weather wienies finally got it right . Now if I can just get a certain feline to cooperate in this last contest entry all will be good lol.
-
Good luck with the Feline....and I'd rather have the rain LOL....
-
I am getting rain today as well, and tis predicted for the day so not seeing myself doing much of importance if I can get away with it ....
-
I have just seen that hackers published passwords of more than 3 billions of accounts for gmail and hotmail. That's a leak :panic:
Also for Netflix or Linkedin
-
Good grief what the hell is wrong with these people
-
Saw that a few days ago. I guess some folks have nothing better to do with their time..... :thud:
-
thanks for the rain J i got soaked bringing in the groceries not that i minded rather fun gettin caught in the rain
-
I'm :iminnocent: Watanuki started it all
-
Good morning, Attic folks. This is from 10 days ago but it still looks the same.
And you have more snow coming down now from what I see on the weather channel. As do we....got about 4" now and it's still coming down....and it looks like an all day event. Good thing I have 4 suet feeders that are full for the birds...because I'm surely not going out to fill up the three seed feeders right yet
-
Hasnt stopped raining for hours.. Afraid trucks will sink lol..
As for feline you know a certain Tabby will never make it easy for Sensei lol.
-
Yikes....but at least you don't have to shovel rain....and when the this stuff melts...we'll be needing row boats :tearlaugh:
And you're so right about Tabbies....
-
We here had a freeze for one night, last weekend. Did not last at that temperature. Rain has been our big problem here, saturating the ground, and making a lot of mud. The grass has pretty much let loose of the soil, and slipping and falling is a high risk around here. Can't walk anywhere without having to cross wide areas of muddy ground. Got covered in it while carrying groceries in to our home. About $30 worth got ruined.
They are trying to drain High Falls Lake to clean out the detritus that collects there, but the rain has been so torrential, that it keeps the lake near full, even on the rare days we have no rain. Was hoping to get some driftwood to use for making wood products, but cannot get to it, because I have no boat, and it is too far into the water to reach from shallows. Driftwood is fun to work with, if you know how, and I do. Alas, I shall have to wait.
I am missing the dry ground, as it has been like this for nigh on seven months now.
-
We haven't seen ANY GROUND in over a month....what is there is all covered in this white shit LOLOL
-
Well WE are getting a bit of that snow TL. And hard freezing temps too. It is almost a heatwave here now at 10°F! But being a dry snow, it just wipes right off the windshield, and blows off the roads. Pretty nice that, except for the low temps. I was gonna pop out for groceries today.
Blah! I ordered Dominoes delivery! LOL! :woohoo:
-
Humm Grappling hook for the drift wood? :lostme:
-
At least that white stuff stays on top of the ground. The wet stuff wants to permeate the ground, and compromise the grasses' root hold on it.
To illustrate how saturated our ground is, we pulled up a post that has a concrete anchor. It just came right up with no more that a weightlifting exercise. The resulting hole began filling in with surrounding soil almost immediately, because it was just mud mixed with grass. I used a shovel to fill it in with soil and gravel. Now that is the hardest soil spot around! LOLOL
-
Had that happen here in 2019. That was the year that a house slid into the lake due to the rains eroding the land it was on...

Our plow just made one pass early this morning and hasn't been back since. I'm not even going out to see what the snow is like but with it being 4 degrees I'm betting it's pretty dry...but enough of it piled up still makes for a heavy load :thud:

T'would be nice to have one, but I don't. Besides, the pieces i'm wanting are rather large, and lodged by large sections of the underlying bedrock. Best way to get to it is with cutting tools during a draining. Seems that is not possible during this draining, because the weather is not allowing the lake to drain. If this rain continues like this, we'll likely have yet another flood, like the one several years ago that washed out bridges, inundated whole neighborhoods in south Georgia, and caused billions of $ in damage; not top mention several deaths. The river that the Lake is on was fifty or more feet above normal here in High Falls. That flood cleaned out all low lying vegetation along the river here. An old ruined bridge that was just below the dam was completely washed away.
-
The rain stopped some long time ago so drying up at the moment. Even the sky has cleared up and is mostly blue with lots of clouds ... all white in color instead of the grey ones from this morning
-
And here4 I thought that I had it bad. No rain last night and this AM, but that still didn't stop the frost from forming on the car. Still had to do some digging and chopping to get it road worthy. Though not that much. Forecast for tomorrow is for snow .... as is the one for Monday. Snow and more snow. I know that the weather weenies love to change things on us poor mortals, but this is ridiculous!!!!! So far, all is still good. No issues with pipes and I hope it stays that way. Ground on the other hand . . . . . 'Round house, still a bit slick. No busted buns as yet. Roads are all clear with just a bit of leftover ice on the bridges round town. And to think that this is supposed to be hill country/high desert. Oh well.
-
Well, the shoveling is done and now I'm relaxing....and finally, the snow has stopped for a wee bit also. Let's see how long that will last....
Now to grab a :java: and do one more tour in here and then I'm off to post our winners in our social sites...
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.... I was heading out to our social sites an hour ago....but it looks like I'm still here.... I AM still here....Right.... :worried?:
-
:ummm: it do appear that you are sort of, kind of, maybe in here still at the moment ... if we don't strain ourselves
-
If one squints and doesn't look directly at him. He is thelufias, after all.
-
Valid point and since I wear glasses ...
-
I just pinched myself and Yup...I'm still here....so on that happy note....I now shall disappear and do what I said I'd do a while ago....at least I think I said it a while ago....
Howdy Sir Knight....Need any more snow? I'd be happy to send some out...
See you folks later on or tomorrow...whichever comes first :java: Ahhhhhh
-
Hiya, TL. Why not? Tonight we're scheduled for ice. I think I would prefer snow by quite a bit.
-
hope you get the snow rather than the ice Sir Knight
-
I was compelled to come back in so I could use my last "Snow Fairy" wish on Sir Knight and hope it's SNOW in lieu of ice.
But really, I forgot to gather up the winners pics so I can put them up in our social places.... :thud:
I knew I forgot something....got all the way over to Face Book and went looking for the Art in my folders...and alas...no new ones....
Anyway...let's try this once again and pretend I never left....
Have a good night folks...I'm off to post our winners in our social sites.... :iminnocent:
-
Thank you both! We'll see. Church will be Zoom if there's too much ice. :sure:
-
Could be worse TL .
-
Zero guests? I think that's a first that I've noticed.
-
Church has Been Zoom For a While Everyone Here is comorbidity High so no IN person anything!
-
Maybe we have to have more excitement in here Sir Knight.
Fafnir.....Cook up a great Sunday Meal for us.....
Or.....if that doesn't work......
I can have "J" put a picture of Kianna up and see who can guess what she is :java:
-
dredzilla for one fugly for another
-
:sigh: Never give up and continue to resist telling the truth about your love for her ... tis good ... the more thou say never, the more that no one believes thee ... snicker
-
Have a Happy Valentine! Stay Safe and Stay Warm! *Huggles*
-
Nice and warm looking! We have a few inches new snow while I was asleep. It's a balmy 8°F on the other side of my window and still snowing gently. Tiny eddies of sworling white dust, disappearing into the night, going to God only knows where. I see too the rare large floating large flake, drifting idly in and about those eddies of dusty snow. It is a beautiful sight. But I imagine it a horrible feeling! Poor old Jeep is buried under it now. Hope I don't have to wait till spring to see it again!
-
Morning all. In the middle of what I told Dreamer what I call... Battlefield Earth :Churchladies edition... at the Laundrymat..
-
watch those ground swells Noshoba, it will get choppy with a breeze I think! ;o)
-
Indeed.. I am hoping the work truck isnt stuck now. Ground so soft right now
-
Well they got the heating boiler up so life is returning to normal. Got lots of snow and cold over the last 18 hours but I have heat so I don't care. The other two boilers are set to come back up on the 16th so hot water will return. Lost the fridge compressor of all things. I worry about the electronics when the power comes back up; but not the fridge. New one is coming today. Horray!! I've been using the big walk-in fridge that opens using the balcony door.
-
hope the laundromat ordeal comes out allright and the church ladies ain't too bad
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made heart shaped biscuits and bacon for this morning for later on they are serving up prime rib with Au-jus and horseradish they also got either french fries or baked potatoes a side salad and heart shaped filled pastries there is also an assortment of chocolates too
-
wishing you all a Happy Valentines Day filled with much love and many blessings
-
mornin PDG glad to hear things are getting back to normal for you hands big steaming mug of fortified coffee
-
Glad they are getting things fixed..
As for laundry. We survived .. Lol doesnt hurt the family history is for fast ships and fast horses. The navy side were cruisers and destroyers and the traitors that did army all were cavalrymen or tankers lol. So get in and out quick before they know you were there.
And Happy Valentines Day.
-
Good morning guys!
I'm always ready to exchange a bit of sun against a part of your snow :ifonly:
-
Yeah I was getting a mite worried about ya PDG all the cold, snow and ice with no central heat. You wont look good in a icicle jacket!We're getting a little colder than they thought it seems. Even with wrapped pipes we are concerned with them busting with these real low temps and below 0 is coming later today too.
-
We have been fortunate the weather hasnt got quite cold enough forthe rain to be sleet or snow. Just cold and wet.
-
Yes, Happy Valentines Day Ladies! It's my baby sis's birthday too. Heh! I sure hope the Nurses fare well having to get out in this mess every single day. At least Post Office gets weekends off!
-
I haven't seen it this cold in all 10 years I've been up here. My BiL Alan has, many times, in his lifetime here. He says "We just dig in, keep the fires going, and drip that dang water!" Yup fire going and water dripping! BRRRR! Worst I remember seeing cold was 44 below zero F up on ocean station Bravo for a few days. Then we headed South to Ocean Station Charlie for 30 days. MUCH warmer there. Still saw ice bergs and floes, seals and whales. Just wasn't THAT cold. I remember 20 below zero F in the mountains in Arkansas. There was plenty bad weather to go around up there! Long time ago that was. Well, just have to deal with it, is all we can do!Thanks for that steaming mug o coffee Fafnir!
-
I'll say Amen to that McG. Meanwhile, I'll grab a good :java: from Fafnir's. Getting cold here now with the snow that's been falling since this AM. Thankfully, not as cold as I remember it from other areas. Such as Korea and Germany. Got cold enough in Korea where we actually had to pull a tank's engine/trans powerpac in order to heat it up enough to get it started. Not good to see frost inside the drive compartment. OY!!!!!! :nopanic;
Staying inside now and kicking back. Ailene has the day off and I intend to take full advantage of it.
-
And all I have here was some rain that woke me up at 3 in the morning which has since long gone away and the sky is not showing any signs at the moment of returning at all.
So we got the warm temperatures, sunshine and clear skies .. sorry
Oh and we have anime "To Love Ru" on the TV looking device
Now guess it is time to check on the boring laundry and start making dinner and lunch for next week.
-
Well J been binging the manga for Horimiya. Lol anime has been excellent. And 2nd season How not to summon A Demon Lord is coming out with spring season so nice run of good ones after last couple of years of real duds.
-
That is one I had not heard of yet, research mode activated.
Looking forward to the 2nd season for the Demon Lord series
-
Well story is good. They did a 4 part ova back in 2012. The funmy part is along with the anime they are continuing the old ovas in May with parts 5 and 6. Must be doing something right to be doing both at the same time. Binged 92 chapters so far. Character development is excellent and no ecchi tag. Just good all round story.
-
Hmmmmmmmm. May have to get back in the Anime mold. Connie is currently still watching those oriental shows on Netflix so I'm temporarily locked out. By the time I can get a shot, she's back into it.
Well, better that than the political :bs: she sometimes gets into.
And, that's 'nuff said there.
On a brighter note, just got the BTTF DeLorean - other incarnatioin from one of the paid for/freebie sites. Think I might use some of that for my next render. Certain pieces at least. Now, where did I put that rather sporty Italian import?
-
The way its snowing here now makes me think of some of the weird things I have seen while in the service of the army running the roads. Imagine a butter bar in charge of a tank platoon and going on a little cross country romp. We find a wide open field and proceed to practice some of our battle formations. We do a couple of them and then the plt sgt calls a rapid halt to all the fun. Seems that we were actually running across some poor bastard's golf course! This was during one of our REFORGERS so this was covered under the "road trip damage fund". Fortunately not too bad as the ground was frozen, though we did tear it up quite a bit whenever one of us made a hard turn.
I'm sure that Aelin would be familiar with this. Those little markers that line the roads and trails once you geat away from the city? Unfortunately, we had some guys who liked to knock them aside whenever we went on a road march. Dumbasses just didn't realize that was sometimes the only thing that kept you on the road whenever the snow got too deep.
-
:tearlaugh:
Yeah, markers outside towns. But also inside once the towns have expanded. In the one where I always lived last year, a old yellow boundary was on main street.
Where I live now, I have one just at 100 meters. Obviously put on the ground by a truck before I came here :tearlaugh: They are useful to tell what kind of road you are onto, but that's pretty all.
The other markers are even fastly put on the ground - or just stolen by collectors :shrug:
-
On a road with fresh 2' of snow I just stayed centered tween the barb wire fences! That worked fine around Baltimore. :)
-
:rainy: Round two has begun, so glad we got the last bit of grocery shopping done hours ago, now we are just waiting on the dishwasher to do its thing, the stove to preheat for supper and a couple of meals for lunch. Even put ye ole washer on the self clean mode ... yea so motivated ... not
-
And just like that the :rainy: is already over with :thud: oops spoke to soon it is back
-
Rained over night here and is still going with steady soaking drizzle. The temps are down from the scorcher it was yesterday, 18-19c at what is meant to be the height so summer.
We have been put back to Covid alert level 3 over night for three days so far and I think I have woken up with the start of a cold too just for added jollies :achoo: :thud:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Indeed
-
Looks the rain can not make its mind up start ... stop ... start again :sigh:
-
:thud: Kingsford Spring Grilling Ad
Looking out at the Evil White Cold Stuff I Feel this is Appropriate!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKbDJ8E8zyM
-
I think Mother Nature juxtaposed Spring for Winter this year. Sooo we may have gone from Fall to Spring and now to Winter. I hope there is a Summer at the end of it all! It is 0°F and snow all over, clearly sculpted by even slight breezes. -12°F is on our menu for the low tonight. Ugh.That Kingsford Spring Grilling Ad sure looked good, Radkres! I am getting frostbit sitting here at me desk.
I ain't going nowhere tomorrow. The doctor can come see me!
-
It's frozen here in SE TX area. Not sure if I'm going in to work tomorrow. Depends on the roads... Did the slip and slide home tonight...
-
Whatever you do, be careful Paul! It don't feel good twisting knees, ankles or busting up a hip or shoulder falling. Simon & Garfunkel - Slip Slidin' Around. With a Roxette - Crash Boom Bang! at the end. Ow.
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready with plenty rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked country ham and cornbread and grilled corn on the cob with fresh churned butter
-
stay safe and warm with all this cold snow and ice hope everyone has a great day
-
Thanks Fafnir. Coffee is good. Rye is better. Together they are fantastic.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and PDG.
parkdalegardener, I hope that your heat has continued. Did the hot water boiler get repaired? I apologize if I missed it. I mostly track the forum with E-mail and I get quite a few a day.
Possible trip to the office today to power on some machines that are not returning and don't have remote management.
-
Good morning guys!
Here the level of the river has started to disminish a little. I see that mainly to a move below the surface, maybe due to a root or something like that. Wasn't visible when the river was higher.
You may want to try the socks above the shoes to do not slipe. At least it's somthing I already hear :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all....
Had a busy day yesterday so I stayed off the net for the most part. Got in for a short while to send some Valentines out...but that's it.
This week is "CLINIC" week. I'll be in here on and off.
Not snowing here today....to cold to snow.... It's -8 and with the Wind Chill it feels like -30 degrees
Which is why I did all my chores yesterday when it was warmer... -12 with NO Wind Chill warnings
-
I wasn't walking home last night. It was the truck doing the slip sliding thingy. At least I made it home safely.
-
Yes indeed.....Tough driving in the stuff....even for those who are use to it....Glad you made it home...
-
Definitely not going to work today .
-
Smart Move.....YIKES......
-
looks like everyone else has the same idea going by all the tire tracks I ain't seeing in it! Heh! Smart indeed.TL, for once we got as cold as you did. I saw -8 this morning about 6am. No snowing, that starts again tonight though. I don't HAVE to go to Amarillo till the 24th. We'll see if we still have hard winter then. My windows were all iced over, couldn't see out!
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin....I'm finally caught up in the Gallery..... :grenade:
-
Hate sharing something like what we've had with ANYONE Mc-G....
We are prepared for it up here....
But many of the places that are getting snow and Ice and Cold now aren't even prepared for it...and why should they be...it seldom gets this bad for them. Most places in these areas don't even have snow plows or salt/sand/beet juice trucks.
-
Based on the rain we are getting off and on here I think your weather came down here and got drunk, will you please come and take it back home with you
-
Heard some areas in Florida had Tornado warnings today...didn't see where any touched down....unless I missed it on the weather channel....
-
Well folks...time to call it quits...Have a great night....
-
Heard some areas in Florida had Tornado warnings today...didn't see where any touched down....unless I missed it on the weather channel....
Just grey skies all day and early afternoon rain is what I had the pleasure of experiencing and I since I was not having to drive any where or work on a system ... calling that a win.
-
looked outside, saw a couple tire tracks in the street (of solid snow), and the porch has blown partly clear now. Seeing more kitty tracks there and in the yard. Mika, the little black Bombay, wants in now. For simple warmth and comfort I am sure. But how to let her in and NOT be harassed by both my boys, well that I don't know. Pheromones, even to neuters, are still brain triggers. Only neutering her will help that I'm afraid. She stays out until dire need exists. She looks real good right now.
-
Know what you mean McG. Unfortunately, had little choice in going our. Had to pick daughter up from work. And as the Garmon and Sifunkle song goes, I was slip slidin' almost the entire way. Not bad when YOU know how to drive in the soft, white stuff, not so good when most everyone else doesn't. Don't know how many two wheel drives I passed just crawling along. Even some four wheelers. The people here just don't know how to handle the white stuff.
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be pit oven roasted whole island pig with all the trimmings
-
Good morning guys!
You know Hipshot, where I lived before just 1 or 2 millimeters of snow, and it was the mess! Once, an interview concerning the snow was made in one of the streets, and suddenly bam! the reporter turned to the noise with his guest, the camera ending to take the move of the car - and the car after... In fact it was somebody on those few millimeters who ended in a well done parked car :shrug:
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Once again I spent the morning in 4 degree weather clearing a path from the driveway to the door and getting the car cleared off.....and it didn't snow last night....but the wind was blowing drifts everywhere....I think my place was considered "Everywhere"
But I was warm in my winter gear and then some. Hand warmers, cozy comfortable wooly hat with earmuffs built in, a double layer of clothes...and a hot coffee every 15 minutes.
Anyway..I'm here for a short visit then gotta head out to pick up some meds....
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.....See you sometime tomorrow......
-
Yes Aelin. I know the feeling well. Nothing like watching natural selection sort out the gene pool. It is something that snow helps to accelerate exponentially. Can't believe that people will still take their TWO wheel drive vehicles out in this crap without proper preparation
(can you say tire chains?)
Even the ones with front wheel drive come off second best in the pretty - but oh so deadly - white stuff. Saw one in a parking lot get stuck while attempting to leave. Wheels just spun going back and forth until they chanced upon a large enough patch of uniced ground in order to gain traction. Watched another bozo cruise through a RED light . . . just cause he didn't want to skid through. OY.
Had to go to Temple VA today. Despite the low temps, the vamps still wanted a go at me. I was lucky. Most of the clinics were closed and will be closed for tomorrow as well. Saw so many vehicles in the ditches that I gave up counting.
-
I remember tire chains all too well. This is snow and minimal ice, fortunately. At least right around me here. I see the same driving mess here too. Just convinces me even more to stay home. I need to see if Walmart is still able to deliver orders. Getting low on food!
-
hope they can get out for delivery to you
-
coffee and cocoa are ready with rye rum bourbon and scotch the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be Alaskan king crab legs with grilled steak and fresh cut green beans
-
Good Morning,
Hope everyone is doing well,
Thought drop by and see what is happening. I see things around here are getting up to speed again. Galley is looking good too. Glad to see all the new posting there. Taking classes right now for networking and then Linux will be hit and miss for me for this site for awhile but will stop in from time to time to say hello. Planning to take JavaScript and python classes sometime in the not to distant future too.
-
Thanks Fafnir. Glad to see McG was by. According to my local news if you live in Texas or surrounding States you are dead. Well untill they bring the power back and thaw everyone out of cryonic stasis. Feel sorry for folk that don't regularly get cold rain and snow. Humph, reminded myself of a Dead tune. Have to put that on now.

I see in an other thread that you are recovering from a hack job. Spent a lot of brain cells getting one of my RPis to work as a firewall and another as an Apache server for my media drives and serve as a backup system. I let it be harder than it needed to be. Claimed I was getting too old to keep learning new things. Currently adjusting my thinking to get clued in on the new (to me) Python. I stuck with 2.7 because thats what Poser was using. Now they have joined the modern world with 3 so I have to get it together.
-
Good morning! Thanks for the coffee, Fafnir. Hi, M-Callahan.
PDG, there's a script called 2to3 that can convert a lot of Python 2 to Python 3 without much cleanup. I've mostly just had to put parentheses around the print statement arguments and take U out of the open function calls. Hopefully won't be too painful.

I've got it but have yet to really check it out. Lazy and easily distracted I'm afraid. I really have to focus a bit more. I get all head up on something and work it till the next shiny thing comes along. I started modeling again after someone asked me about a cycles node in the new(er) Cycles I didn't know about and downloaded Blender 9.1.2. to check it out.
The power outage messed up my Ubuntu laptop. Killed the battery. That means Visual Studio on the Shanghai Cat House as a development tool for now. The S.C.H. is my 10 gen i7 version of McG's Bad Moon Ryzen with all the damn RGB lighting everything. MB RAM RTX card. All have those damn RGB lights.
-
Most of my infrastructure is managed by Python scripts. I had to convert several hundred that had accumulated. :nopanic;

Dear lord. Nope. My NCS2 and OpenCV are running on Python scripts on my RPi's and the dead battery HP, but no need or wish to deal with numbers like that.

Good Morning my Attic family! It is a *BEAUTIFUL* day in Texas panhandle. Snow white and snowed in, but spectacularly beautiful. Crystal clear icicles hanging everywhere, brilliant white covering everything, all the tracks and footy prints are filled in and covered up. It's a cloudless sky, the BIG light is ON (SUN!) and so is the electricity. Yesterday, We lost power in Pampa for nearly two hours is all. We still had gas so I was toasty warm with the cats hugging the heater. The wind was pretty busy yesterday too. Right now it's calm and intensely brightly sunshiny!Yes there were lots of areas without electricity for a lot longer, and some folks managed to get themselves stuck and stranded in their cars and pickups. Simple problem of sheet of underlying ice with snow on top. And no studs or chains. Even 4x4's were stuck in some spots.Things are warming up a bit now, it's already 9°F and only 9am. I can bear being in my unheated room now. Without coat and gloves at that!
So, I have survived that winter storm so far. Still got to get some groceries in here somehow. Did not finish the order yesterday cause of power out. Will get back on that in a moment though. All Must Eat, yeah? PDG - install the software to control the RGB stuff from W10 desktop man. I just toned mine down to a level I could enjoy. Motherboard, meh, just LED's under the edges of traces for that shine thru effect. The RGB LED's in the CPU cooler, that Wraith Prizm item, that's kinda neat. Fun. So I kick the cats out and pull the side off to see that going, now and then. BUT, If that means off for you, then you can get that too. Congrats on your new build, BTW!!! It's always a pleasure to have new toys to play with. BadMoonRYZEN has been great fun, pushing it and seeing whats what. I still got a few things to look at for the first time. Like the built in video array. I know its there but haven't had a Display Port adapter/cable to plug into it. HDMI, VGA, DVI yes of course. Not Display Port. Being that's traditionally Applesauce yaknow? Well, off to see what I can get into for a while!
-
Oh an interesting discovery with BadMoonRYZEN. Turns out this occasional crash to desktop of this 3D game I been playing, DEFIANCE!, is due to the onboard graphics chip running out of memory at moments of huge battle action. I ain't even using that onboard graphics! But it is there and running this whole time, even without a monitor plugged into it. Got to check that out. No big deal just kind of a surprise is all :) AND, it IS stopping my game when this happens. So I got to find where and how to turn it off or disable it for the time being. Ha!
-
Should Be on your Bios for your mother board.
Got power back today water is still not working.
-
Great tip, thanks. First time I had onboard graphics on a desktop mobo, I dunno how to act! ;)
Glad you got power, you really need that H2O bad too. Hope they get that back on today for y'all.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
You got that right Aelin. Despite the cold, still had cold water. Just no HOT water. Go figure. However, all is not lost, It finally started flowing again this evening. Sweet. Connie was finally able to do the dishes. Now just need to get the volume back up to the proper standard. Daughter took off today as the streets were just too bad. Negotiable, to be sure, but still pretty bad.
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be shepherds pie with steamed broccoli and BBQ beans
-
Glad to see the denizens are crawling out of the freezer relatively intact. As I said; local news up here has everybody from Texas Gulf Coast to NYC dying the horrible death.
McG I shut the damnable lights down first thing. The box I built it in is plexi sided and left over from the water cooled i7 2600k build that finally fried last fall. I'm too old to have flashbacks staring at my feet under the desk mesmerized by the flowing colours. Yeah I got those RGB fans too. What happened to people? I order the best parts I can afford and everything comes with a copy of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ready to play the moment power flows. I must be getting old. How do flashing lights make things work better?
Everything here is hard wired. I don't do wifi and have it disabled in the router itself. That means that if people are over that need it I turn on wifi from there. Since the network identifies the hotspot as "The Shanghai Cathouse." Not very politically correct but it's fun to watch folk try and access the network.
Thanks for the coffee Fafnir.
-
Good morning guys!
Temperatures are better here, with plenty of sun, but since midday we are with a lot of wind.
-
Some 15 years ago I found a Lava Lamp in my favorite colors at some doo-dad shop in a mall, and bought it. A few years later my eldest's guy misappropriated it, and put a brighter bulb in it. Ruined it. The bottle cap on it popped off, high pressure, and cracked the glass. This little light show just replaces that Lava Lamp in a sidewise sort of way is all. Gives me a pleasant feeling. :) BadMoonRYZEN!
-
Also, we are having what could pass for a heatwave right now. It is 19°F and it is snowing, just like the weatherbirds said. It will likely drop to ONE degree tonight though. Still surviving!
-
Only way to do it McG. Temps here in Killeen are attempting to normalize. However it will still be this weekend before it gets warm enough to go out without having to defrost vehicle.
For now though, right back to square one. Hot water heater is now off line once again due to interruption in water flow. One of the pipes behind the washer packed it in and surrendered to the cold. Caught it before it got to far so will have to remove a little drywall in order to get to it. Now waiting on plumber.
Other than that, we're warm, dry and comfortable and don't have to go out right away, so I guess you could call that a win/win situation. :woohoo:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a good rest, Aelin.
-
Ah the Joy of Boil Water till Some time next week is the new rule along with Rolling black outs o.O This some kind of Norther nostalgia? North Dakota Was Bad is Why I Live in Texas! But Oh no Some one Had to Ship this White #$%@^ here! :thud:

Morning.
Time to break out the zebra boats lol.
-
Thanks Fafnir. Can definitely use it this day, but it is clearing up. Supposed to get ABOVE freezing for once. :woohoo: . Not to mention getting some good news as well. Plumber is scheduled to get here sometime today. No idea when, but is better than still attempting to make contact. Meanwhile, still hunkered down and working on various projects.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Goodnight Aelin!
Hey Radkres, with this heatwave it will all be gone in no time now. It's currently 35°F here in the Tx panhandle. All the white stuff is dripping, falling, sliding off cars, falling with huge wet *PLOP* sounds. Yeah buddy! HEATWAVE! LOL! :woohoo: BUT don't walk under any of them big ol icicles. Might part yer hair kinda sudden like!

Morning Fafnir.. Daz actually put out a useful coupon today lol... Grabbed a few scripts off the wishlist.
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the coffee. Long week and I need it.
I agree, Noshoba. That's an impressive coupon. Tempting, indeed.
-
Good morning guys!
If I had money to put in Daz, sure the coupon would be interesting. And if there was something interesting for me. :psycho:
-
Well, there seems to be a select number of items for Poser in the sale and some are on my wish list, so time to see if their are any funds available, that is after the gallery decision is made ... :iminnocent:
-
Good Morning to all.....
Been a long week but when isn't it LOL.... Got more snow coming....but on a good note...the temps will be above 0 degrees.
Got a lot of catching up to do so off I go with :java: in hand....
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night, Aelin.
Is it just me or are things unusually quiet here?
-
Me quiet, perish the thought ... lurking in the shadows yes ... :heeheehee:
-
and watching videos with Kianna
-
Rubbish, she is with Luffie snuggling closely and watching streaming TV with him
-
Good morning guys!
It's the peace before the storm :iminnocent: Hum sorry, we have already plenty wind here. Kind of stormy but sunny day :lostme:
Don't forget to vote for March theme before we close the topic, later today

Good morning, Aelin. Do you have the same problems with power in the new place? Does a coming storm mean that you will need to drop off the net for its duration?
-
Good morning, Aelin. Do you have the same problems with power in the new place? Does a coming storm mean that you will need to drop off the net for its duration?
Not for simple storms, only for t-storms. Yeah I prefer to turn off everything. And animals are happy to have a full attention - books too :tearlaugh:
I know also the power lines are for many passing inside forests here, so a sudden cut is always possible.
-
We had a tornado through here during the summer that knocked power out for a week. Took out many power poles in a row. I'm sympathetic. I had originally thought that the power was just less reliable at the old place.
Eyes on the skies!
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked pork roast with sweet taters and cornbread
-
Good afternoon, Fafnir. Thanks for the coffee! Looking forward to the smoked pork!
-
Can I have a side of Korean Potato salad with that please
-
Thanks for the reminder to check Recipe Heaven. :woohoo:
-
Decided to also make some garlic-shrimp spaghetti to go with it ... snicker ... lunch at work shall be nice this week
-
Good choice there J.
-
Korean Potato salad coming right up and the garlic shrimp spaghetti sounds good too
-
Oh yes it is, just did a quality control check on it
Both recipes are in the Recipe Heaven board just in case :iminnocent:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Might try that Korean Potato salad recipe. See how it compares with that made by a Korean. Was pretty good, as I recall. Temps have warmed up considerably, here in Killeen. Was able to go out sans jacket. Sweet. And didn't even need the heater when having to go out. :woohoo: Now, just need to get plumber back in here in order to correct temporary fix.
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried shrimp, crab cakes, fried snapper and broiled scallops with hushpuppies coleslaw and potatoe wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir. That later in the day meal sound wonderful. I do miss Florida versions of those.
-
Morning all.
-
Good morning to you as well! Good morning guys!
Today is another day with plenty wind in the valley. Apparently it must be the season. Yesterday, the wind stopped after 4PM, to be back after the sunset and all night. AT least it was always there when I woke up :tearlaugh:
-
No wind or rain this fine morning here, just blue skies with sun, even the temps are good.
Back doing PM's on radios and getting ready to pester the students tonight :heeheehee:
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Took a computer day off yesterday and today we got more SNOW...so had to do the normal Shoveling since it was to fluffy for the snowjo. Fluffy dry snow and wind are not a good combination for ANY snowblower. You end up looking like a Snowman and what you just clean off got sent to the areas you previously cleaned off. So old fashioned shoveling saves the day....
And on a even better note....it's above freezing today...First time in 2 weeks..... :grenade: :grenade:
Just to give you a heads up...got some appts this week and next week so I'll be in here when I can be....
And now for some of Fafnirs wonderful :java: Ahhhhhhh Good Stuff Maynard....
-
Maybe to be a snowman is a way to stop Kianna with you :tearlaugh:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
LOL.....Good point Aelin....you have a great night. I'm all caught up once again and now to find other troubles I can get into....
-
coffee and cocoa are ready with plenty rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be beef roast and smoked beef ribs with tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir. Another day of flashbacks to Halloween lol. Cleaning up a big wearhouse that hasnt been cleaned in 17 years.. Enough cobwebs to make a great set for a horror movie lol.
-
sounds like a bunch of fun don't let it spook you
-
Morning Noshoba might be an idea to make a Halloween background set
-
Well considering the webs are hanging like Spanish moss inside the building yes.
-
Ghosts are missing in the paint to end the halloweenian scene :tearlaugh: But those webs are kind of :OMG: for me :tearlaugh:
Good morning guys! Another day with wind and sun all in the same time. I think finally I maybe won't have to continue to brush my hair :tearlaugh:
-
Morning Aelin.
-
Good afternoon all. Temps are really nice here in Killeen. For once. Enjoying a couple of days off as daughter is only working part time. Tomorrow I have to take her to work, as well as taking Connie in for an appointment over at the Temple VA. Hopefully, it will have been completely reopened by now. Right now, I am working on a new figure of the felinoid persuasion. Uses that Anchronisity Morph I recently picked up. The ears are worth the price of admission. The face, not so much. However, still tweeking it here and there.
-
I forgot to tell despite the fresh air and the wind, I saw today 2 butterflies. And flowers are blooming!
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Even better Aelin!!!! :woohoo:
-
We do like to see the flutter-wings in our neck of the woods as well, the good news is that it is pretty frequently
-
Mornin' coffee and cocoa are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on we going to have grilled steaks and baked taters and tater wedges with a green salad and homemade dressing

Good morning, Fafnir. It'll just be :java: today, I'm afraid. Thanks!

Thankye Sir Knight.

Tater wedges are good stuff. Have yet to figure out what makes them better than fries but they sure are.
Nice morning distraction Sir Knight.
Late for senior shopping so I have to split. My lift will be here any second. Ed is a little late today.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Excellent end of day!
-
Now, that was a quick day! In long enough to say a good morning, and next entry, an excellent end to the day.
;perplexed: Guess not that much going on for the day. Oh well.
Looks like a bit of a rainy day, here in Killeen. Just enough to make it desirable to take a l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g nap. Just got to go out to pick up daughter at 2000.
*yawns widely*
Think I'll visit Fafnir's for a :java:
-
Me too! Also ditto on MUCH nicer weather in Texas the last week. I've had to drive to the Amarillo VA and back twice since posting here, and another must go drive Monday. Oh have a local clinic tomorrow 10am, vascular ultrasound on foot. "Mac, you have to get more rest man!" ok,, next appointment I'll just have a sleep in! ;o) They didn't even crack a smile.
-
:lostme: They Never do! :thud:

Good morning guys!

Love tater wedges. Have to be at a clinic in the med center by our Walmarts shortly. Will just have to run into Wallyworld too. Heh!

Love the short film Sir Knight....Just so happens I have "The Colour Of Magic" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/) as part of my viewing list on IMDb TV (Streaming).
Good morning to the rest of you. I'm sure most have heard that we had another death in the family. My Brother Timmy passed away at the age of 64. He was the 4th oldest (or second youngest) of 5 boys. Now there are only two of us left. Me, the oldest and my Brother Jimmy...the middle child at 66.
On top of that I had 4 appts this week, so it's been hectic.
Hoping things will calm down but got a lot of things to do for my Oregon and California family members yet.
In the meantime, time to take a stroll and see what is what....
I'll have a :java: Fafnir....and thanks for the call the other day...
-
Yes indeed. A very nice flic. Things are still staying the same her in Killeen. Weather weenies must have gotten stuck in the groove once again. This time, the big thing appears to be light rain. At least its not a stiff downpour.
-
Wow Sorry to Hear about your Brother! Our Prayers for His Family and Yours!
-
:ty01: Rad.....
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin....I still got to download all the great finds you got for me LOL.....
And head to the gallery to see what is what and why....And WHO....
See you in the morn.....

Morning Fafnir..
TL sorry about your loss.
-
Bummer TL. Sorry to hear this. We all seem to have friends and relatives passing of late. My condolences go out to you and your family.
Fafnir a quick shot of the ol' go-go juice and I'm away. Ed is on the way by to take me shopping for another week. Be glad when I can go at a real time instead of before sunrise.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Good Morning to all.....
Thanks for your kind words Noshoba and PDG....Been a rough couple of years for our family...that's for sure.
Enjoy your shopping excursion PDG....but I agree...before sunrise is way to early for that.....
Morning Fafnir....a HOT HOT HOT Coffee with a dash of coffee for my coffee please....
Morning Aelin....are you ready to ROCK n ROLL...... Gonna be a good day I'm thinking....they seem few and far in between so I enjoy each and every one of them.
:java: Ahhhhhh....and now to start our adventures in here.
-
Adventure already started for me :ifonly:
-
Saw that....and part one of my adventure is done also LOLOL.....Now to wait on part three and then I'll start parts 4, 5, 6, and 7.... :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Sorry to hear of your loss TL. May the wings of angles waft him on his way.
On a lighter note, not meaning to make little of such words. Today had been a good day. Daughter got called into work so we won't have her company for a couple of hours. Stopped off at HEB to see what they had since our local Wally Worlds got cleaned out by those who panic bought. Nasty business. So scared of getting snowed in that you hit the stores and clean 'em out. No milk, bread, water, TP, and a couple other things. Kind of reminds us of that earlier incident when this COVID crap first hit. Bummer.
-
Hipshot, my older son works in a grocery store. Every time it snows, he reports that there is panic buying. You would think that people in the Northeast would by now have learned that they won't be trapped.
-
just like here in fla when hurricane or bad storm is mentioned and the weather folks don't help either calling a squall a bad storm
-
Yeah, 3 to 7 inches!!!! Oh, my goodness... And then it flurries. But they got their clicks. :rat-atat:
-
and if you get a forecast of 20 to 25 knots of wind it's a big deal to them and they jabber on for hours over it ratings game it is
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked salmon with hushpuppies tater wedged and coleslaw

Morning and congrats Fafnir
-
Mornin' folks. Have the dubious joy of doing my taxes today. More grog please my good man as this is a job I dread.
There is good news though. Due to the numerous fires, power outages, COVID, and crime in my building; my rent has been adjusted downward for the first time ever. Property values have decreased so much around here that my Rent Geared to Income has dropped even though my meager pension has increased slightly due to cost of living. The new rate kicks in July 1. Now I have to get my taxes filed before then in case the powers that be change their mind and decide against the drop.
-
Park you are fortunate.. Chucktown is actually skyrocketing . practically only area in country that is going up.
-
Good morning, Fafnir, Noshoba and parkdalegardener. Sounds like a great breakfast! Thanks for the coffee.
-
Sad news TL, sorry for your family's loss. Glad to hear about your good news PDG! Yep about the panic buyers. Got that even here. First thing to run out of is sliced bread. Next is TP! But I got my coffee :)
I hear ya on all those appointments, TL. Had one here Friday morning, first ever to get one in my town and not have to drive 60 mi each way. I figured maybe an hour visit, right. Was over four hours, on a barely padded flat (but tilts!) table. Was a thing called a Vascular Ultrasound, or in their own jargon a "Doppler". It was for the right foot. Means a full body 'study'. I was so tired when I got home. All from laying flat and still. Who'd a thought? But another drive to Amarillo Monday morning.
-
More grog coming right up PDG
-
thanks Noshoba mornin Sir Knight and McG
-
Good morning guys!
Would be great if the downward was just generosity from the landlord and not because of all you said. But better than nothing.
-
Ain't that the truth. Still can't quite grasp the idea of such panicked buying. I know that things can get tight. Lord knows that I've gone through it on more times than I care to count. Luckily, I try to take that into account each time I go to the store. But to clean out a store/stores for only a couple of inches of snow???? These sheeple would have gone completely bonzo if they had been in either Korea or Germany when it snowed. They should try living out in it for a good bit. That might help to develop an appreciation for what they can do if needed . . . . or not.
:OMFG:
I guess its just something that you develop when you have lived the life. Connie and I just looked upon it as just another family adventure.

My favorite experience with panic buying happened when I wasat Georgia Tech back in 81. Before snow became the norm not the exception. Atlanta got 10 inches of snow... The lines were around the block..not at the grocery stores but the liquor stores. It was became Winter Mardi Gra for about 3 days.
-
Indeed panic buying makes little sense to me as well, granted being single and buying for one is much easier. And since, we have been buying at Sam's for over a decade now, that is my version of panic buying.
It is comical to watch others though, I buy one pack of the TP (30 pk) and it is at least a year before I have to worry about it running low. :tearlaugh:
Same way with other products, well they all don't last that long mind you but for dry goods and such I can definitely go for some little while before I have to restock.
-
Sorry for your loss TL, take it slow, be well yourself and your family.
-
Hipshot, you think panic buying is bad where you are, people in Southern Cal hear the words panic buying somewhere in the world and start buying everything in site.

:tearlaugh: :duh: :tearlaugh:

Excellent end of day guys!
-
And here I thought the goobers here were bad!!!! Good thing the family here has learned how to handle such crises. I just hate going to the store to pick up a few things when the sheeple get the word on something bad coming down the pike. Like to slap a couple of idiots silly.

Good morning guys!
Problems with your comp, Noshoba? Sorry to hear that.
-
Not a serious big deal.. Just noticed all my characters loading in looking like their dadfy was the Joker or the Penguin.. pointy noses and big lips lol. After the normal fixes didnt work just said the heck with it. Only pain really will be reinstalling filter forge . Specifically getting my activation code again. Last time took them two weeks to respond.

Good Morning,

Good Morning Fafnir,
Looks like you have a very good spread for morning breakfast.

Good Morning!!!
Today is the celebration of Texas Independence Day. March 2 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico, from this to the present is the Republic of Texas that later join the United States.
-
Morning.. Going to be interesting...
-

Corner Beef and Cabbage. Last night's supper for me as well. Big fan of slow cookers. Dump everything in. Turn on. Go away for a few hours. The more the better. Simple enough for even me.
-
Next year will be interesting in 2022 Fat Tuesday will be taking place and the celebration of Texan Independence Day a two for one holiday.

I like slow cooking too, just like you state easy to cook good food with. As far as cabbage goes I like to slaw cut it use blue cheese dressing since I can never find Rouge Ford dressing here. I like my cabbage raw just like turnips with a bit of salt and spinae too. That is one of my food quirks.
-
Good morning guys!
Thank you for the history lesson M-C. Isn't also the only State able to leave when it wants to?

Yep and has the right to become 5 separate states if it wished to according to treaty.

Well My Birthday celebration lasted from Wednesday, February the 24th (Actual BD) to Monday, March 1st. Had four awesome meals, and my BD Cake was so good it did not last long; A strawberry cake with chunks of strawberry throughout, and strawberry frosting, all made from scratch by my nephew Brandon! First scratch cake he ever made, and it was that awesome!
Among the gifts was accessories for my archery set, a leather quiver, finger guards and arm protector. I have a lefthander's compound bow. Will have it restrung, add a sight, and buy the needed parts to assemble my arrows. Yes, that's my way of doing things in archery. Once I have everything ready, I plan to go target practicing, and maybe deer hunting in the coming hunting season.
Cheers!
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great rest of the night, Aelin.
-
Interesting M-C. Always did like archery, but too heavily into center-fire weapons. Might have to consider that in the future. Have a light duty cross-bow in house, and Connie is always searching for a compound that she can handle. Small female getting on in years and her strength isn't all that much. Me, I can still handle pretty much anything . . . but I'll still play with an AK or an AR 15 when have the chance.
:ifonly:
-
Thanks for the comment on that last entry Wiz. The Pheil is a Bazze original. Actually found it by accident. Was looking for a late mod Me/Bf-109 on the same order as Bazze's Me 109 E-3. No luck though.
-
Hip are you looking for the G or K model of the 109? I have that plus the twin fuselage version
-
Looks like we are going to be exceedingly wet today it has already started the :rainy: and is not letting up at all.
Not surprised the forecast did say 87% chance today :tearlaugh:
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning Aelin..
-
McG - I jjust noticed you asked about one of the girls of the Bad Biker Babes render.
The one closest to the the car is Iizaboo for G8F from DAZ studio.
https://www.daz3d.com/iizaboo-for-genesis-8-female
-
Actually Nosh, I was thinking of the Gustav, like a G-6. But, a twin fuselage variant? Much as I hate to say it, but that's a new one on me. I've seen and heard of the two seaters, but a dual fuselage could definitely be interested. Hell yes. Any way I can get either? and are they for Poser?
-
:ifonly: called BF 109Z "Zwilling"
-

The twin Me 109 eas also called the Me609 or Me309 Zw.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_609
I have that somewhere as a sketchup file needing to be converted over. I believe there was also a 109 project twin as well with the K variant looked into as well.
As for the G I have the one from rendo. Not sure it is still available. I thought the late Neil Wilson had done a G as a freebie over at shareCg as well. I have to dig for the twin scince I am still in middle of rebuilding my computer after a factory reset. ...and fitting a serious piss off with Daz...
-
Not sure why font size changed in middle there.
-
Isn't because you were used to have the "font color" at the place where is now "font size" in few themes (like the FA darkly)?
-
Always in default for that. Trying to find my freebie 109G versions... Lol not much luck
-
https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=43860
One I have and poser 5
-
That would be the posting window. If you choose to use the drop window for font size and do not pay attention to the numbers (in this case you had it for 2px) then you needd a microscope to see the type.
try not to use anything lower than 12pt in the list :thud:
-
Tried to fix it it myself suspect had something to do with pasting the links. But dont mess with any settings.
-
Are you using the wysiwyg mode? It can be a problem sometimes when you have to modify things.
Excellent end of day guys!

Good Afternoon to all.....
I'm making an appearance to prove to all that I'm still alive.... Just been busier then hell with real life of late. Always seems to be something.....
Anyway.....trying to get caught up in here but not sure if I can in one night LOL....we shall see.....
Main reason I wasn't in today was to see how much of my yard stuff that got buried in the snow I can retrieve now that it's a wee bit warmer of late. Three of my lawn light are broke and two of my figurines are done for....took 5 hours to dig those out from the shallow snow that turned to ice.... Many more are buried since we still have 5 ft snow drifts in most places.
Now to grab a :java: and see what is what....
I'll get ahold of you on Friday Fafnir to see how you're doing my friend...or call me tomorrow night if your up to it....
-
coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with BBQ beans cole slaw and tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir..
-
Let us see how today goes, yesterday was a wash due to a bit of rain ... okay a lot ... today down to just grey skies but with no rain at the moment and I call that a win.
However, second doctors appointment this morning is on deck, since I couldn't do it yesterday, arrived and was walking in and the first words out of the receptionists mouth was the power just went out.
:thud:
Some days I just bring excitement wherever I go ... or not ... :ummm: ... I get those confused so often.
-
Sound like my last doctor's visit.. Had to do video call since my coworker caught covid. I tested negative..smirks...like I believe he really just stays home after work.. But anyway my phone basically said KMA to their app. Fortunately they did renew my meds for 3 months until we can schedule a normal visit.
-
Morning Noshoba and J
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning Aelin.
-
Evening greetings to all!
-
Good evening TI!
And excellent end of day to everyone!
-
Okay Nosh. Now up to speed. Had forgotten about the 109 zwilling, it being a paper project. I do have the other but the shape just doesn't do it for me. Guess I'm a purest cause the landing gear is just wrong. Not to mention the shape of the fuselage as well as the prop. The Newill variants on the other hand has gotten some serious use from me. Especially his Fw-190 D-9 long nose.
-
Well I got into the hunting the paper projects a long time go lol. Two reasons..original degree hunt was Aerospace Engineering at GaTech and I was a huge fan of FASA's Crimson Skies. Even have the Bloodhawk i.e. Heinkel's P.75 in my prop files. Thunderr's Me109G is still available over at Rendo at a good price. And renders well in Iray so know should do well in Poser. And yes loved the longnose myself it is sitting in my folders as well. Debated doing a kitbash on the 109Zw to have something to play with the Twin Mustang I have there as well.
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings

got belly button hernia fixed yesterday kinda sore but doing ok was same day surgery so no hospital stay ain't to fond of this corset but can take it off for shower then put it back on call doc today for follow up appointment but do have to take it easy and can't pick molly up which she is not happy about
-
Good morning guys!

Do not be my Brother who let his little girl lay on top of him as he had to go back and get it redone. :thud:
-
i will take care not to mess this up and do as doc says cause i don't want a re do of this operation
thanks Rad
-
All this talk of hernias makes me think of the problem Connie has. Doc says is no problem though. As for this Covid business, Connie and I both got our second shot on the 2nd. Didn't hurt too bad, though ended up taking a long nap afterward.
Nosh: I can just imagine a match up between the two fighters. Just have to make sure to have plenty of popcorn. Just imagine, the latest mark of merlins as opposed to a dual DB 605 or later set up. Nice.
-
Good Afternoon to all....
HI TI....good to see you in here my friend....
I just got my second covid shot this afternoon HS.....No arm problems or any other problems...just like the first shot.....which reminds me...I have to get my records at the clinic updated to show that I got the shots else they'll be bugging me every week to make an appointment for the shots....
Good talking to you last night Fafnir...and glad your listening to the Doc. Take it easy and try to behave...I know it's tough for you.....but I'm sure you'll do fine....
I'll be seeing you in the Morning Aelin.....
And now to make a quick tour so I can finally relax for the day.....It's been a BUSY one...and then some.
-
Hi Dreamer and Rad....didn't see you at first.....but then again...I might have seen you but didn't realize that I had seen you which could complicate things if I saw you and you weren't in here.... :java:
-
We cross in corridors TL.
Have all an excellent end of day!
-
See you in the Morn Aelin. Got the place to myself....Lorna is spending the weekend with Travis, Mindy and the Girls.... :woohoo: :grenade: :woohoo:

Morning Fafnir..
Hip if you want 109s with Merlins look up the Spanish Variant of the 109 . It used merlin engines. Lol but with a name like Mule you can guess how well that worked. Think they stopped production in the 50s.
-
Mornin Noshoba this corset i gotta wear is an itchy thing and i got to wear it for 10 more days only saving grace is i can take it off to shower so that helps
-
Good morning guys!
-
Sounds like you are dealing with a hernia belt.
-
yep that be it but necessary till this thing heals after they re did my belly button will be out of it for 6 to 8 weeks till it completely heals
-
Good Morning to all....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir. I remember wearing one of those when I had my aneurysm surgery last year. And I think I bitched about it everyday in here LOLOL. I had to keep mine on for a month....
Morning Aelin and Noshoba.....and the rest of the folks who are staring at us....
Now to get busy with :java: in hand....

Who me?

The joys of a factory reset on the pc...
I've built my own for some 30 years now. Phones, laptops and tablets I knew have "Factory Reset". Never once considered that a desktop PC would too! LOL!

Oh my, I got my naval hernia fixed on Cinco de Mayo 2005, and I had to report to the day clinic at 5am. 0500-05-05-05. Heh! And I reported to Jack In The Box for a absolutely non-recommended post op meal when I woke up. Sis was driving sooo why not? Plan to eat light Fafnir. The indigestion and *GAS* will be horrific if you eat heavy!
-

Cool and Thanks for that Deeleelaw! She just so C U T E ! Had to ask!
-
McG the only aggravation really will be rebuilding filter forge . And annoyance being Finally found what brought the need in the first place... and didnt need to. Character I bought from vendor over at Rendo once loaded was setting itself as default. Normally would be seen in currently used tab but wasnt even showing with show all hidden clicked. Pure dumb luck and a lucky guess found it.
-
C'mon man, a 'default character'?! REALLY?! Sigh. Only DAZ would even think of that. Meaning the post- semi hostile takeover of DAZ3D, not The Good Years DAZ.
-
No not Daz issue. Vendor gave quick response and fixed the problem. It was a setting Cr file issue in the head morph. Apparently got set to wrong thing when was being modeled. Now the not showing at all was the real surprise.
-
The twin Me 109 eas also called the Me609 or Me309 Zw.

I have to dig for the twin scince I am still in middle of rebuilding my computer after a factory reset. ...and fitting a serious piss off with Daz...
Aside:
LATE Neil Wilson ?!?! We lost another great modeler, and I didn't even know it.
Oh. And the font size changes for the LINKS, not for general text though.
-
Yeah Neil passed away awhile a go. Chris Schell let me know.. Still love his Mustang B / Apache.
-
That couldn't happen in Poser, Noshoba. ergo - the bit about a default character. Well, I SAY it couldn't happen in poser! Give me the erroneous line and I will try it! LOL!
-
You have to remember the character was built off G8F. That is the default load .. The vendors character overwrote that.. A full custom character wouldnt do that since it isnt a customization of another. Sort of like if I was to offer some of my characters for sale or freebie they would say for example XXX for Mika 8 or such...
-
I have some 5 or 6 dozen of Neil Wilson's models man. Love playing around with em. Got a few of Schell's too as well as Briney, Pedro Caparro, *BAZZE* !! Aircraft, like autos, are works of art in motion! And ya gotta get the lines just RIGHT, yaknow? Like especially the P-51, the BF-109, The B-25 (the dragster of medium bombers!), the P-61 Black Widow. Some of my faves there. And now I got to add some ships to those models. Can't very well have all those carrier based planes and no carriers to land em on, can we? ;o) And THEN...well then we went from wood straight decks to steel slant deck carriers. Had to, jets being way heavier punch holes in the wood ones. :P
-
Well have all the carriers lol. Been meaning to retexture Shukako to her sisters 1944 camo scheme. Maps are a little weird though.
-
I want the Enterprise, Hornet, Yorktown, Franklin for the old ladies. Middle age ones, Ranger (my brothers long love, he was Navy 20 yrs), Kennedy and America for the middle vintage, and Nimitz and CVN Enterprise for the late middle vintage...and whatever the biggest one is of the most modern ones.
F8F Bearcat - a pretty and light bad azz airplane to see the wood decks out!
-
Well London's Yorktown over at Rendo would work for Enterprise. A very nicely done model. Had decent Sketchup model of the Kitty Hawk classes but old installer I think is giving up the ghost. So cant convert her over. I refuse to pay for a subscription that is based in cloud.
-
Looking at it right now. $20 ain't bad for a decently done rendition. I see he has a better version for DS, that sux. Grr. I like the Yorktown G2F uniform style too. Heh! Gonna get that one for sure. So I can change the hull numbers up and get any of that series carrier. OK, the Yorktown Class of carriers. There were three, Yorktown CV3, Enterprise CV6 and Hornet CV8. 2nd generation of carriers built from keel up to BE aircraft carriers. The first was the USS RANGER, and in the Yorktown class, they sure fixed a lot of design flaws! Seriously well planned, for ships so early, they actually had 3 aircraft elevators and two catapults! Not only that, but they could run rings around old Taney, which steamed 22 kts her entire life and those carriers added 10.5 kts to that. 32.5 knots is pretty dang fast. Their flight decks ran some 825 feet plus.
I really enjoy the movie, MIDWAY, the 2020 release. I try to figure how much is real and what is CG. :)
-
Nurgh.... :thud: Nothing quite like having the cat jump all over your keyboard while you are in the middle of the tricky part of a complex project :cat13:

I know whatcha mean Dreamer, I do indeed! LOL!
-
And even for days your cat is an angel, keep the way to save a lot. I made the error to make confidence already, and was "disappointed" :psycho:

This is what she walked through. I do not need to have to redo any of it!

Yep, that's why sometimes I work on 2 or 3 projects in the same time. The worse being to do the Uvmaps, I hate that part.
But some other times, it's just creating the textures which is harder, like you can't always do what you want to. At least I can't :tearlaugh:
Excellent end of day guys!

You should be grateful it wasnt the windows lol. Kitt is the bane of all things mofeled lol

Good morning, Fafnir. Sounds like another good one! Coffee for me, please. I hope that you slept well and are comfortable.
-
Morning Fafnir... Nice cold Sunday here.
-
Good morning guys!

Morning Aelin
-
kinda cool here with nice breeze better than yesterday with the hail storm we didnt get it here but daytona beach did
-
Mornin Sir Knight i slept well and was reasonably comfy
-
Mornin Noshoba and Aelin hope you have a good day
-
:lostme: I Remember getting hail on a Clear day! Just finished mowing the lawn then Bang Marble sized hail covered the ground then it stopped.
-
Another morning
...well comment on ice on widows because we were kissing 70 yesterday lol.
-
I know THAT kind of weather all too well, Noshoba! Ice storm one day, with hoar frost growing off twigs n stuff like crazy. I stood on back patio and watched it spread out, 'grow' as I call it. Very neat thing that! But right now, it is in the 50's °F, pretty stiff breeze, feels chillier than it really is, and the sun is out bright and CLEAR! Lovely day for flying a kite! Heh!
Oh I bought that USS Yorktown over at Rendo, had a pile of reward points and slapped $5 worth on the order.
Makes spending $$ go down easier, yaknow ? ;o) :yes: :yippee: :viking: :knelvis:
-
I got home a bit ago with 20 bags of groceries I picked up at WalMart. Plenty frozen veggies, a case worth of Nissin Ramen Noodles of the normal sort. Half are chicken, other half shrimp. Then I got a dozen 'cup o noodles' in 3 flavors. Trying the Korean BBQ first, very mild but nice flavor. The Teriyaki Beef will be next. And then, my ol taste bud pleaser, Sweet Chili, which has great flavor and is VERY spicy! And I am already thinking a new PC build through. For the Living Room, as an entertainment system. Dunno which way I'll go with that yet. Thinking I might use the old parts I took out of BadMoonRYZEN. But they are so OLD! So Might go new parts. Decisions, decisions! Ain't they just the funnest things ?!
-
oh Hey y'all, thanks for the comments on Giselle in Golden Ring and the Starving Artist prize. Pleasant, though unexpected!
-
Hey Fafnir, good on ya getting that hernia repaired man. I tried to ignore mine for some years, but as they always do, it kept getting bigger, until the bowel wouldn't stay in any more. Had to fix it at that point. I imagine yours already feels better!
-
Good Afternoon to all....
I was in here briefly and then the computer rebooted...which in a way, worked in my favor because at that moment Travis brought Lorna back home....
But now I'm all updated and all is well.....
Glad to hear you had a good night Fafnir.....
And now to take a tour...catch up on some posts....with :java: in hand Ahhhhhh
-
Hip if you want 109s with Merlins look up the Spanish Variant of the 109 . It used merlin engines. Lol but with a name like Mule you can guess how well that worked. Think they stopped production in the 50s.
Very true Nosh. The Israelis used them in their 48 war. How's that for a turnabout? Those re-engined aircraft they got from Spain - owing to the fact that the Daimler engines were no longer being manufactured - were also used in the movie "Battle of Britain" Still looked odd as hell, but was believable to those who only looked at the markings.
But, what I was referring to was the use of the Merlins in the Mustangs, not the Messerschmitts. They used the inverted V Daimler-Benz engines. Either that or the Jumo inverted Vs. Until the advent of the Mule, that is.

Excellent end of day guys!

So the Joy of Cooking at home when you drop hot grease on to your arm! :thud:
Hope You all are doing better than me! o.O

That'a almost as much fun as the BBQ arm hot shave by molten fat hitting the coals flare..
To which my Da said "That's why there's tongs"
8 )
Cold pak and antiseptic on the burn take care of yourself Rad.
Cheers
-
Radkres, I'm so sorry to hear that you're hurt. I'm with Wizzard on how to soothe that.
-
take care of your arm Rad and i hope it gets better soon and don't hurt much
-
So far it just stings. put ointment on it and will see how it goes Why is it always the wrist that get hit? o.O
-
bacon when it pops usually hits the wrist as will most fried foods
-
Ouch, know that feeling! Hope your wrist feels better Rad. Wishing you all a good night!
-
For bacon you can pretty much prevent the spatter by using a bacon press. It is a weighted metal cooking tool that keeps the bacon pressed down. This lets it cook more evenly and minimizes spatter.
-
or you can put the bacon in the oven on a rack over a lined tray and grill it (https://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/nahrung/a051.gif)
No splatter and easy clean up
-
cast iron skillet works well too and i like your way too Dreamer
-
cast iron skillet works well too and i like your way too Dreamer
It works well, means I can be using the pan for something else while its cooking plus lets all the grease drain off

That would be way better then what happened to me a while ago, I didn't have a shirt on when it went "pop"
You can figure out the rest I am certain.
Hope it gets to feeling better soon.
-
Morning greetings to all before getting ready for work...
:shh2:
Yes Dreamer, that's the way we cooked the bacon, in the oven, been doing it for years, got tired of getting burn from it on stove top :java:
So, Fafnir, what time should we come over?! :iminnocent:
-
whenever you are ready would be good TI and i hope you have a great day
-
J would that be while you were getting ready to head out to that :waveass: beach you like going to? ;o)
-
Evening guys!
I'm back from the joy to discover when turning on the box that the internet (and teh phone depending of the same line) was cutted. With "perturbations" to go until tomorrow, end of morning. In fact, the perturbations were no internet or phone at all. It's a shop of cellphones and things like that in town which explained to us.
So I don't know if the reparations they have to do are made during the night or not. If I suddenly disappear, you know why.

Good afternoon to all.....
I finally made it in here. I was outside most of the day shoveling the snow piles on to the spots that had no snow so I can get it to melt faster....and then one thing led to another. It was 52 degrees out.....LOVED IT....
Of course the yard looks like a swamp now....and there is STILL plenty of snow on the ground....but I'm making headway....
Best way to cook bacon for me is by buying the type you stick in the microwave for a few minutes. Tastes great and you can cook it to the texture you enjoy. I like mine crispy and by gosh....the bacon strips turn out perfect every time.
And I agree with all on the way to apply first aid to the arm Rad.....Hope it heals soon for you.
Your day sounded as interesting as mine was yesterday Aelin....
Still battling the Change of Banks....what a PITA and then some.
Anyway...time for a quick tour with :java: in hand...
-
I look like I have some kind of Fancy Tattoo now on my arm The ointment helps. Anyway thanks for all the concern Yes I normally cook Bacon in the oven when I was feeding large Groups as a Line cook.
Bacon Press Never used one.
Found a Strange Crepe tortilla Thing at the market today! Carb free for those of use you have to watch what we eat. Called Crepini Gluten-Free Egg Wraps Anyway look interesting will have to find out if they are any good when I get around to Buying them or just thinking about making Burritos. o.O
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be Safe Aelin
-
Have a great night Aelin....see you in the morn
-
Be Aelin. Recovering from Monday from hell. May break out the 20 yr old scotch.
-
I'd appreciate a swig of that Noshoba! Just had one o dem dam MONDAYS meself! GAH! :phfft: :overthefence: Now where did that Emojie go that just says "CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP!" ???
-
Well its a nice MacClellans sipping scotch I got as a tip.from a customer for getting his home ready in time for a big event lol. Forgot what big company he was the chairman of the board of directors. Crazy English guy who shared a love of good Scotch. I go from wolf to.Garfield on Mondays and we got about a 3 hour late start due to.work truck breaking down then have the office ..oh nm..not worth it. I am sure yours was in same class of yuck.
-
Went thru the whole day without biting anyones head off. Getting up when I was just falling into a deep sleep, gobbling a quick breakfast of a mouthful of smoked turkey breast and coffee, driving 60 miles on sunrise infested highway, being 30 mins early for appt, then the doc acts cut happy. I growled deep in my chest and that stopped. He gets done cutting on foot, nurse mummifies both legs and feet and sends me packing out the door, run over to radiology cause doc wants to see how bones are doing and he still hasn't seen the results from vascular ultrasound labs two weeks ago and the lady at the desk is LOOKING AT THEM so I growled some more, got my xrays and after another 300 yard walk just to my car . . . I drive another 60 miles home. Sugar is 87 so I eat and take half dose of insulin. It is way past my normal bedtime and I gotta wait for the nurse BUT the HIGH point is sposed to be this blasted PICC midline catheter is gonna get pulled out today! Yaaay! But it wasn't on the RN's ORDERS in WRITING so she takes blood and changes dressing but won't pull the PICC out! I just say G'nite Mikey, and here I am. Sigh. G'nite Mikey.
-
Martin to Rowan - Hey do ya know what just goes CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP! ??

-
Morning Fafnir.
-
Good morning guys!
I'm not sure I was refreshed when woke up this morning. Indeed, I think the nurse has launched a spell on my dreams. During one, I was suddenly full of hair :tearlaugh: It was a relief to wake up, but the eyes didn't want to open too much.
-
got to watch that nurse Aelin she be sneaky for sure
-
Good Morning boys and girls.
Sounds like you had a better day yesterday Mc-G....that's always a good thing. I have appts on Friday....and as always...they are sooooo joyful.... :thud:
Had to take my "COMPUTER DAY OFF" yesterday. New orders...well, not new actually...but a reminder to follow them....Two days on....One day off. Not complaining though...I got things things that need to be done.... LOLOL....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....I need it today.....
And now for a tour...
-
Amen to that TL. Ever have one of those days when NOTHING goes like it should? Got a new landlord - a VERY nice young lady, by the way - and tried to pay rent by paypal, as she suggested. It just did NOT go through. Next tried Venmo, after getting refund. Also did not go through. ???????? Finally got with my bank, and it appears that USAA just doesn't use or recognize that app. Go figure. Oh well, hitch up the snails boys cause here we go!!
That being said, I'll take one of those coffees Fafnir. With perhaps a bit of fortifyer through in????? Please????
-
Hola my friends! Once again, a quick sneak in-out...at work til 7:30..... But wishing you all a lovely evening. Fafnir, your menu sounds so yummy!

Paypal has many problems in France at least. It started before the 'crisis' and it's worse since. Imagine: you call them, there is nobody at the other side. No teleworking.
Maybe there are issues in USA Paypal that your bank knows, but not necessarily you?
Concerning Venmo, didn't know it at all until you talked about. But there are so many apps nowadays.
-
I owe, I owe ... its off to work I go ..... NOT!!! Sorry, but being retired its very nice not having to go to work. Though I must admit that I sometimes do miss it.
-
coffee with plenty fortifier coming right up Hipshot
-
Still switching accounts over to the new one HS. And yup....NO FUN....
At first I missed Work after I retired....but then as more and more projects piled up.....I find myself hoping I have time enough to complete them all LOL...
I've used Paypal for a long time now and have had very few problems.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.....
I'm still collecting the Freebies LOL....
Catching up is a PITA sometimes....
See you in the Morn....
-
Yes, Aelin. I imagine that things can get real nuts on the other side of the pond. Have been using paypal for a couple of years now, but only for little things for Poser. First time I ever tried it for something big. Meh!!!!!Never even heard of Venmo until my landlady brought it up. Thought it'd be supported as well.
:whattodo:
Oh well. Will contact Pony Express on the morrow. That I know works!!! :deal:
-
Mornin to you all coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with BBQ beans coleslaw and garlic bread, tater wedges and hushpuppies

Sounds all too yummy Fafnir. Will be sure to drop by. And thanks for the fortification, it sure came in handy.
-
Fafnir, sorry I missed dinner!
Sweet dreams Attic family
:snore:
-
Sweet Dreams, TI! Hang in there HipShot and TL, things are seeming to lighten up for both of you. And for me, a bit. I am having a nice regular COFFEE, black with a bit of Sucralose (Splenda). That does shift the bitter just a little. Enough for one of Fafnir's reinforcements! :woohoo: oh but that's GOOood! :thud:
-
Disabled/Retired here.
I miss working too man. I Wish I'd taken way more photos of the systems I worked on and with at The Job. Being an Electrician-Mechanic, that was interesting stuff. Yup I did 'letter' my craft. And enjoyed the work immensely. I suppose that is why I relish tinkering on my computer stuff. There is some new challenge every day. Mostly due to idiots at software companies trying to get away with being "MicroSoft" like. Nup! Not happening over this way Mozilla! Nope! *SMACK* uninstalled Firefox for being TOO 'MicroSoft like'. Harumpfh!
-
Good morning guys!
McG, it must be since 2 years now I stopped with FF. I'm using now a derivated broswer, Waterfox (https://www.waterfox.net/) . It's using most of your addons, even the ones no longer working with FF - which started to be the case for me with a adblocker. And it's the only extension I have :shrug:
Waterfox is also able to take your FF profil to apply in itself, like that you don't lose your preferences.
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be baked grouper stuffed with jumbo shrimp and crabmeat with some cheese added to the shrimp/crab stuffing and all the trimmings
-
Morning everyone! Fafnir, what is baked grouper? never heard it before....
:iminnocent:
-
Belated evening. Been out of town all day in deadzone.of glorious phone service.

Oh yeah the infamous dead zones of cellular phones....gotta love it!

Excellent end of day guys!

Indeed TI...
Be well Aelin.

No that pair got started with the idea of contrasts.. and then read that manga and realised it fit.

Cool beans. I've had the pleasure of having a concept, then get inspiration from a manga\anime. then mess it up trying to create the mood. 8 )
Oh and season 2 of How NOT should be out 08APR this year, meaning subbed by the 15th and redub by May.
-
TI grouper is a firm good flavored fish has a pinkish flesh and is good eating salt water fish

Is that anything like latitude and longitude+local time?

more galactic coords like 1325 X 47 X -23 X Apple squared.

-
Yes and yes
-
oh umm. Ah dont know I have anything that will calculate the more out there aspects of that. I mean local time is easy, Longitude and Latitude are even easy enough but the other stuff umm yeah don't think I will find that on a compass
-
Don't tell me you have lost or sold your copy of mapping local physical coordinates on the exo-temporal plane of absolute time?
For shame

Morning Fafnir. And yes read it but no longer have a copy of it. Good read but not in my top 10 by a good margin.
-
My ex's family thought it was sacrilege that I preferred that to lobster lol
Growing up on The Rock, lobster was not a delicacy. It was "the cockroach of the sea." Lobster and crab were poor people food. Ment you couldn't afford processed cheese slices or white store bought bread. Poor people brought shrimp salad for a school lunch. The "rich kids" had Kraft Singles on white store bought bread with processed mayo. Poor kids had a grease stained paper bag of cold fried sea scallops. Rich kids had sliced deli meat with yellow mustard on a bun. It's all a matter of perspective. Seafood was free. Items from an isolated grocery that needed everything shipped or flown in store were not.
.
-
Mornin folks. Not complaining about lunch Fafnir. I'm actually a fan of shellfish and crustaceans.
-
Well that has obviously flipped around abit. For me it was a matter of preference. I just like scallops. I never get them breaded or fried either. Busted a place trying to sell cookie cutter fish as scallops once.
-
Yeah; that pollock pressed stuff. Don't see that around much anymore. Thank goodness. Some restaurants used to use the stuff as "crab" too.
-
Yeah wasnt a fan of that either. Honestly only thing I am not found of his raw oysters and mullusks. Oh and squid always rubbery to me.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning Aelin.

Have to admit that not only do I not have a copy I have never even read it
Tis some very dry British humor, with a tongue firmly bitten in cheek ... :tearlaugh: ... and had to read it more then once to fully appreciate the humor. Own the DVD as well, found that to be quite faithful to the book and (for me) quite enjoyable.
-
Mornin folks. Not complaining about lunch Fafnir. I'm actually a fan of shellfish and crustaceans.
Seconded
-
Mornin Aelin
Never a fan of squid myself but they are easy to catch. No bait needed. Reall interesting to look at from a boat. A lot like a school of barracuda I used to see in Florida. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OZuJUY7e1E
-
Yeah wasnt a fan of that either. Honestly only thing I am not found of his raw oysters and mullusks. Oh and squid always rubbery to me.
Well, we can eat raw oysters, however it is certainly not something I go out of my way to have, did try some in New Orleans while there on business that were quite good. Although they were grilled they still were quite good.
They were called Chargrilled Oysters (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=21929.msg385473#msg385473) and were recommended by the locals.
-
Hey guys, isn't this night you change of hour?
I know for us it's the last weekend of March :sure:
-
Good Morning to all......
Yup on the time change Aelin. Hate it...not so much the time change....but getting all the clocks to read the same time :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Had a very busy day yesterday....and plan on having a not so busy day anywhere else but here. Having a busy day in here is FUN.
Now to grab a cup of Fafnirs great coffee and get things started in here..... :java: Ahhhhhhh
-
:tearlaugh: Then you would love getting the clocks in my place set up for the time change, remember there is over 20+ of them and of the 20, half of them, strike on the hour and the half hour. And the grandfather clock strike every 15 minutes. :tearlaugh:
Want to help ?
-
I have a wind up alarm that hasn't been set in years. Everything else around here does it by itself. Don't relish setting more than 20 twice a year.
-
Let me see, nine are monthly key wound, one key wound once a year, three are weight driven, seven are those battery ran abominations
-

Nope....I don't have that many but enough of them to irritate me LOL. I only have one that chimes....on the hour....thankfully.
I wait till the time on my cell phone changes and then set all the other clocks based on that....works very well....well somewhat well....hummm....maybe only as well as I am fast...which I'm not of late :thud:
-
fried squid if done right is great
-
LOL.....I used squid for bait and that's about the extent of it. And it worked well as bait.
I was just about to post to you Fafnir....but your timing with the phone call was great. Glad to hear your doing well and all is healing....Give Momma and Molly the pup a "HOWDY" for me.
-
Good Morning to all......
Hope all is going well....
We have a glorious day going on here today....Highs in the 50's, Sunny, and no winds. But they have snow forecasted for us next week LOL.....and here I thought all my piles of snow would be done for good. Still have some on the ground even with this beautiful weather...but I predict it will be all gone before the weekend is over.
Other then that.....nothing new....so off I go to see what is what...with :java: in hand
-
I'm with Fafnir: I really like fried squid. Continuing in the theme of tentacles, as J has graced us a Great Old One (and won! Congratulations! :grenade: ), I think it's time for a little music :iminnocent: :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vNh-QW6Hlc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vNh-QW6Hlc)
Be sure to let it go a minute or so before giving up on it. WARNING: it's pretty violent.
-
Well, that was different to say the least
-
Seconded.
And as for that squid thing? Never touch it. Got turned off in Korea when my "GF" offered me some dried . . . whatever. They used it like we used popcorn in the movies. Tasted like an old, well used eraser. :yeeech:
-
Haven't had fried squid before, I know sounds weird considering the rest of my diet but I haven't, did have some ceviché once that had squid instead of red snapper in it and yes it was quite "ehm" chewy.
-
Seconded.

Well, I dislike popcorn to start with as it plays hell with my teeth ... so not getting any "good vibes" yet on the squid thing. Sort of want to try it just so I can say yeah or nay to it

Cool vid Sir Knight.....
-
Excellent end of day guys!
Here we have wind, but not like a full storm.

Have a great night Aelin.....I'm about ready to visit our Social Sites to get the winners posted....

Waterfox is what I am using, actually. It is also 64 bits. And it did as you said, it kept my preferences, and uses my favorite plugins, themes, etc. I switched a few months ago when FF started FORCING updates on the Users. I stopped that with Win 10 right after building this machine. You're right, it's better! :D

Anytime Twisted.

Grouper. Well the right species of the family is great eating. There are some though that get to alarmingly big sizes. Goliath Groupers. They can whip up from the bottom and gulp down a nine foot long shark whole, and be gone in a second. I have seen big fish on my line get eaten by even bigger fish and all I could do is cut my line. Sigh. So, I tend to go for the smaller fish close to shore. Speckled Trout (spotted sea bass) are excellent eating and aren't too big, also tend to hang around reeds and grasses in the shallows. Easy to catch when you can find em. Flounder, another good eating fish. But, even larger Croaker (a Drum species) are good eating too. I've et enough of em, I can sizzle up fillets in a little butter or olive oil, tad of lemon pepper, side of mac and cheese, hush puppies or fries, or just another fillet...good :)
-
Hey I'd sure like to have a few nice thick fillets right now. Made myself hungry talking about em!
-
AWRIGHT! Just got my 7th SATA SSD drive from Walmart a while ago. 2 Terabytes, and got one free SATA port left on the motherboard. Hey, more storage is more storage yeah! :D
-
Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready big pitcher of cold milk too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be underground firepit cooked pig with all the trimmings
-
Morning Fafnir. Nope can never have enough storage McG.
-
this time change got things all messed up but will adjust to it i reckon ah well another shot of rum in the coffee will help
-
I will stick with the peppermint schnapps. Would say Scotch but like that smooth and neat.
-
Mornin Noshoba yea on the good scotch just add to glass is best way to enjoy
-
Indeed. Putting anything in a good Scotch , including ice, is such a waste. Kind of like putting tits on boar hog.
-
So we're drinking this morning? Works for me. :toast:
-
Mornin Sir Knight yep needed a little pick me up after yesterday and time change too
-
Good morning guys!
Today is a sunny one, perfect for birds to finally attract the eyes of the cats. The first time since the beginning of November :lostme:

Good morning, Fafnir, Aelin and Noshoba. I'd definitely be up for some pit roast later.

Guys, I wonder what do you think about the "join the community" stupid popup on Daz... Fo my part, I feel it like agressive (in addition, seriously, a warrior to "invit"?), and it's blocking my view specially when I want to simply be non logged in their site.
I think if people want to join their community, or even to receive their newsletter, all they have to do is create a profil... which is enough explicated on the page to download DS, or even when you click on the little guy icon in the top of the screen...
-
Greetings guys. Fafnir, you can say that again! I lost track of time last night and ended going to sleep at 3 am.... Now i'm suffering the side effects of this darn time changes
:whatthe: :snore: :java: :snore:
Oh and it's so darn windy out there, trees are making music and snow showers are on and off
:blownaway: :rain-rain:
Ohhh, I'm loving the tea icon!!! :tea: Lufias/Dark Angel, I need one for forum!!

Hi, T.I.!
Aelin, I'm also irritated by that new pop-up although to be fair Renderosity has been doing it for a while, too.

I have a adblock too, that doesn't prevent the Daz popup to come. I'm not alone in that case.

The popup on Daz started few days ago.
Yeah the Stinkers put another stinker on us. Bleah. Can't even log in till you close that stupid stinker. Bleah.
Sorry, just woke up...
-
Hmm, no pop up for me and I just opened it up, yes we have a pop up blocker too, however no indication of a new pop up either

Sounds good to me, if I cant see the map I cant fix it lol

Better give us another then :)

Well, this is bad my favorite after hours beverage and the breathalyzer, I mean inhaler, do not seem to want to play together nice. Only have to do the breathing thing once in the morning and here it was 8:30PM and had my first shot and get a lovely headache, lovely being a technical term for :whatthe:
-
hope everyone is feeling good and has a great day filled with many blessings going to see my doc for a follow up on hernia surgery today so we see
-
Morning Fafnir good luck with the post op visit. Scotch appreciated. Grateful my malamute gave me my hernia way back when. Now they say I have too many risk factors for surgery. Still trying to figure that one out since I am alot healthier than I was back then lol. Roughly 100 lbs lighter amoung other things.
Side note. Spent the evening looking for ice shaders and what is one of Daz's new releases this morning ...ice shaders lol.
-
Mornin Noshoba this belly button hernia was put off for a few years but finally got it fixed had to get clearance from my heart doc for doing the op but it is healing nicely so we see what doc say on how long to heal and what i can do lifting is out for now exersize?? glad you found some ice shaders
-
You are smarter than my coworker been dealing with a hernia for 15 years now. Too damn scared of doctors to get it fixed.
-
Good morning, Fafnir, Noshoba and J.
To return for a minute to the pop-ups from Rendo and DAZ, they only occur on unauthenticated connections. I don't see them on my normal ones. For some reason some of the links from the DAZ site connect in a weird way that disguises that I'm logged in. It takes some work to get the Rendo pop-ups: I have to use a browser that doesn't know any of my credentials.
-
had to put off hernia fixing till wife got better from breaking femur and shoulder repair

Good morning guys!
Hey Fafnir, got anything to help with UV mapping nightmares?
What are you using to do your UVmaps? (I maybe knew, but forgot since).
I use Wings3d for that (well, ok, it's where I model too (http://thefantasiesattic.net/attic/Smileys/default/LOL_87.gif) ) ; if it's pretty simple for things like walls, it's become less easier for stuff like rocks - like I'm doing it those last times :hypno:
UVmaps, no matter the program, imo asks for most of patience that we know we own.
J, like Dreamer, you are a lucky one on Daz site :panic:

I agree for windows and doors, that's why I often select windows separetely from the wall uvmaps. But the indentations are sometimes not cool.

For the stairs uvmaps, I admit I don't "work" them too much. I just glue each parts together, at least for the steps. When there are a little "headland" on each step, I make that anyway. At the end, it's not too bad... I think :tearlaugh:

I did something like that in the end then went through and took out all the pollys I didn't need. It was the turning round corners that gave me the biggest problem

Just corners, or are they turning circle stairs? If just corner, on the side where you put the feet, you can treat the steps in 2 different "blocks", or only one if your UVmap is enough large for. And the sides, they can be counted like "walls" for their arrangement.
I did those last months huge 'circle' stairs, the UVmap was ok, but the moment to make textures was a little harder.
For just 90° angle stairs, I don't remember exactly what I did years ago, but I think I was able to treat the top sides of stairs together. Then to do large sides differently on the same uvmap.
-
And with the rock I'm preparing, I also have a stair, with a 'elbow' at 90°. So recent I have forgotten its existence :tearlaugh:
Below, the uvmap I made. The top of the uvmap... for the under stairs :psycho: (they are outside stairs). As you can see, like for the steps, I kept the 90° angle for that uvmap. With sides posed more in the center, each in one block.
That one was a fast uvmap for the program, but with many parts to stitch together. Anyway, like it's simple angles, no deformation.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Aelin I had a small circle at the bottom and a 90° turn at the top. No sides needed as those are the house walls. Ended up with something much like your map but top and bottom flights split
-
Interesting. Glad I never got into that sort of thing, though the urges are still there. Might give it a try one day, but for now . . . don't think so.
-
Morning coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and fried shrimp with all the trimmings

went to doc yesterday he was happy with how this is healing but 6 more weeks of no lifting or heavy exersize and wear corset and all will heal as it should walking playing ball with molly light housework and cooking bout all i can do and driving too
-
Morning Fafnir..glad to here its progressing well.
-
Interesting. Glad I never got into that sort of thing, though the urges are still there. Might give it a try one day, but for now . . . don't think so.
I just go lie down until those urges go away.
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Glad to hear you're healing well. Have you and Molly come to an understanding about not picking her up?
-
I just go lie down until those urges go away.
I do the same thing when an urge to clean house rears its disturbing head
-
Good morning guys!
Continue like that Fafnir :thumb_up: Or, you don't want to meet the nurse, don't you? :winks:
-
molly knows that her mom has to pick her up now and yes i fully intend to follow doctors orders don't need to see nurse but 5 weeks of this corset is a pain but at least i can take it off for a while which helps
-
and house work is a necessary evil J so get it done i have to and i get things done early in the morning so i don't have it waiting on me before cooking dinner
-
You tell 'em Fafnir.....Grab that Mop :J:......

Have a great night Aelin.....I should be in here late tomorrow afternoon. Gotta take the Daughter to an appointment....Not mine this time LOLOL...
-
LOL.....Nope....it's CONGOLEUM.
How odd it works on the linoleum in my place just fine.
Never heard of congoleum sounds like a disease
-
LOL....Tis Vinyl and actually is pretty good....and easy to clean....
-
Great job Fafnir! I went to the doc today too. Doc said he is inclined to agree with my ID doctor, that I'd dodged the bullet THIS time. The big thing was to keep sugar and swelling DOWN. I did that. He wants to see me in two weeks now. Not one, and no mention about setting up for surgery. I'm happy. :o)So, keeping the sugar way down. And thus, the swelling!
-
Hey y'all I sure am glad none of my nurses look like Jherrith's nurse! He he he he! No wonder he is loathe to go to the doctor!
-
Regrettably several of the nurses that have taken care of business for me ... in the real world ... make Kianna look like an angel of iridescent beauty.
No eye candy for me to enjoy whilst being poked, prodded and examined.
-
It's tough living with Diabetes McG....Gotta follow those rules and then some...and it's certainly tough to give up or slow down some of the things that you love.
But the outcome following the rules is much better then NOT following the rules....so keep up the good work..... :grenade:

so far all of my nurses are pretty and sweet and gentle even if they wake you up many times a night to take your vitals or give meds some even bring coffee

Mornin Nosh hope you have a great day

McG you will feel better as the day goes on

Good morning guys!
Not everything works on floors TL. Here we have a linoleum in all rooms excepts the corridor which is very difficult with broom. We need also to use regularly the antistatic fabrics. Yet, a less harsh broom has better results like we took a new one.
Maybe in your case it's the matter the problem?
Further to the uv mapping convo
That's detailled walls with UVmaps. I generally don't annoy me so much, only 1 wall = its own uvmap (or sometimes all the walls on the same if the house isn't too big or complicated)
-
Brrr! About 30 F out was raining, then turned to just snow. Now it's all white out there again!
Thanks y'all for the prayers n well wishes, they seem to really help.

:yes: I have no problem to believe you! I'm trying a guess:
- inside sides together
- outside sides on another map
- a part of top on a new map, or joinging the sides
- a second part (the decorations and their rectangles) in another map
- for the before of fireplace... maybe its own too
How far am I? :tearlaugh:

Isn't their offer for packs to $2.99 each day?
By another way, since the "new site" everything is even more strange on Daz :shrug: And I don't talk of their stupid agressive "advertising" popup.
-
Every once in awhile they will screw up...and can snag something seriously cheap. Had one of their pro bundles do that for like 1.99. Unfortunately paycheck hadnt posted before they caught it lol.
We shall see. Live in one story cinderblock so no worries of making like Toto and Dorothy.
I really havent had any popups on daz since I have been there . Only the banners for having a special discount.
-
Yes, I guess like Dreamer and J you have a super adblocker :tearlaugh:
Years ago, Daz even offered bundles for few cents for one or two days.
-
Nope no ad blocker at all lol.

It is ok. -pets- Not sure why you are getting them unless its something based on the region??

I'm not sure it's regional. But many people with FF have issues with that. Some, even logged in, can't remove the ads.
I have Waterfox, litle brother of FF. All the other popups everywhere around the web are blocked by my adblocker (even ads from youtube on videos), except the Daz female warrior to "join the community" - you make more sweet like welcome to a community :sure: See, the other day Sir Knight learnt to me that Rendo has a popup; I don't see that one.
-
DAZ are trying to just sweep POSER under the carpet. You have to scroll to the top of the 'Software' selection box, choose 'Enter Software name' and manually type in POSER and only then do the selections for Poser show up. Pure Chicken _____ !!!!! (droppings?).
-
I don't see the popups anywhere I surf in with a browser. Ad Blocker Ultimate! :D

And if that was your normal have a good evening then you as well.

So much more fun of a medical nature ... got back from my doctors appointment and we are now upgraded from dyspnea to bronchial asthma.
How joyous ... NOT ... :shrug:
-
Oh has anyone noticed on Chrome the lovely extension that showed up out of nowhere ... "reading list" .... is what it is called and there happens to be no short cut to turn it off.
Go here
chrome://flags/#read-later
And you can turn the unwanted nonsense off. Never signed up or wanted anything like this to start with so no idea why it showed up.
-
cause it likes you J is why Now please do take care of yourself with this bronchial asthma and get well soon
-
Still have another set of tests to narrow it down to the exact version that I am dealing with hopefully it can be reversed although I don't buy into that idea.
How much fun is that going to be
-
don't sound like to much fun but hope they find out which strain it is and get it cured soonest
-
Hi guys, and well, no arguing with any of that for true. So on that happy note, I will say Goodnight! GOODNIGHT! :D
-
:lostme: J are you taking any of these regularly? as they can give you Bronchial Asthma in some cases.
Aspirin (Bufferin, Bayer, and Excedrin), Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin),
Ketoprofen (Actron, Orudis), Naproxen (Aleve),
Daypro, Indocin, Lodine, Naprosyn, Relafen, Vimovo, Voltaren.
-
@Rad nope I take none of them on any sort of basis, I am one of the weird ones in regards to taking meds, have never needed to for any reason, even generic aspirin.
I have had ibuprofen prescribed before say for pain after a dental procedure, yanking a tooth, but I seldom take more then one or two of them, as for all the good I get from it, I might as well eat candy instead
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings

Morning Fafnir. Another day in paradise...not lol.
-
Good morning guys!
This morning was a surprising one with the weather... snow of few millimeters on the ground :panic: Forecast weather never said that, only melted snow with rain for those days.
But here, apparently our mister forecast weather, like he doesn't feel anymore the thunderstorms, has moved to predict such weather. Because yesterday, it was surprising to find him with 2 hidden places for his food, and one very fulfilled. Usually he prefers a little hidden place, and many of the food stay in the plate for until he takes it to eat almost immediately.
Also, remember it's the last day to propose a theme for April
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23950.0
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
It's a beautiful 55 degrees out and sunny...and yesterday was 34 degrees with 40-45 MPH winds and snow flurries. Go figure LOL..... And yup....get your April Ideas up folks because I'm heading that way shortly to get the poll going.
Had one of my typical days yesterday so I was off the air.
Getting old is a bitch "J"....all sorts of things pop up my friend. One thing I learned the hard way was to leave ibuprofen alone. My doctors always recommended extra strength Tylenol for aches and pains...and believe me...these past few years there have been MANY aches and pains.
As for your bronchial asthma, a neighbor of mine uses an inhaler containing both a steroid and a bronchodilator to keeps hers in check... But if they just found out about it...I'm sure there is a better treatment for you.
And now to get busy in here for a bit. Then I have to head out to my Brother and Sister in laws. She finally got her knee surgery on her other leg done. If you remember...she had her left knee replaced late last year...and was suppose to have the second one replaced In January...and we all know how well that went....not at all.
-
We had another short episod of snow during the afternoon. Then rain came just behind.
Take care on the road.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin......I know for a fact we are not done with snow here even though it was 55 degrees today....We've had snow storms in May..... :thud:

You're the only one to think of that. LOL Actually, I think getting slapped virtually would be fun! :ifonly:

Thought I would stop by and say hello. Still taking classes for networking. Will be done soon on Theory and will go hands on for networking and use a simulator to setup and hookup switches and servers. Hope everyone is doing well.
-
And you as well...trying to get Dforce to play nice right now lol.
-
I never had too much problems with dForce I always use the time line and it seem to work well. Hope your work will come out looking great.
-
Floor pose and cape is dropping right through the floor plane instead of draping. Rarely happens but annoying when it does. Going to be a rather twisted fairy tale if I can get it to sim right lol.

:shhhh: Not so loud she might find me again
sorry. :thud:
I forget about that broom of hers. Helps to get her around. :whattodo:

Isn't a missing setting in the dforce which gives that way?
I remember for Poser 11 I always had some issues with the dynamics I made. No problem in P10.
sorry. :thud:

Good Afternoon to all.....
Had company and now they are gone.....now if the ears stop ringing I'll be fine. Three youngsters all wanting to fill me in on their adventures all at the same time is ear numbing LOLOLOL....
Anyway...I'm in here for a short time. I'm in the middle of moving my family photos and movies from One Drive to Amazon Photo Share. I use to use Google for sharing my family photos and movies but they are clamping down on things of late. I don't want to have tons of stuff in there and then they change their storage size.
Other then that...it's a BEAUTIFUL but WINDY day today....I have one brave bird on the bird feeder at the moment...and normally it's full.
And now to see what is what with :java: in hand.....
PS...."K" lost her interest in me right after "J" proclaimed she was his in the beginning of this year....that's why she hasn't been around that much....he keeps her locked up for some strange reason :java: ahhhhhh
-
Not sure Aelin. Just know I rarely have issues with SY's stuff but something weird here. Finally switched to something else. Its still running the timeline but so far looking right.
-
Sometimes we can't use what we desire.
Or maybe the floor itself is having an issue wich is seen by dforce stuff? Did you already used that floor with anotehr dforce? Or is it just a plane you added to the scene?
-
Simulation plane for floor poses. Second one made the plane prim. The dforce capes dont come with one since most assume a standing pose. Now Brooklyn outfit does and has the hood so seems to be working.
Nothing like exploding at 48 minutes in.
-
PS...."K" lost her interest in me right after "J" proclaimed she was his in the beginning of this year....that's why she hasn't been around that much....he keeps her locked up for some strange reason :java: ahhhhhh

You really should get your stories straight before posting scurrilous rumors.

Welcome to a drizzling rain although it is more like a mist if truth be told, one would have to stand in it for 10 minutes just to be certain it was rain of some sort it is that light.
Well, spring break is over and class is back in session tonight
To make things fun this morn I get to have my brain poke by the Q-tip from hell, and I also get to give a donation to the vampires all in the name of "what type of asthma do you have game?"
Yeah ... :shrug:
-
Good morning guys! It's just sunny, sunny, sunny here. With few clouds.
Good luck with that J.
-
Feeding the vampire wasn't to bad they only wanted three vials of the good stuff.
However poking my brains out with that damn two by four from hell has me in the mood to return the favor to someone.
-
Can I help it that I've got one of those weird intelligences? And come to think of it, could be fun. I keep trying to talk Connie into getting one of those leather corsets, thigh boots and a whip, but you know .... or you might not know .... how that goes.
*gets slapped upside the head!*
Oh, thank you, may I have another? Beat me, slap me, call me dirty names ....
I actually wrote a Blues song about it called "Hurt Me Baby!" :shh2:

I don't think Kianna is hard to look at with my right eye. That is the eye with the cataract blindness. That could change later this year after surgery, but until then it has it's advantages.
I like the link Aelin provided with Kianna on an Easter egg. Reminds me of Humpty Dumpty.
Nurse Kianna sat on a wall
Nurse Kianna had a great fall
All the Attics ladies and gents said with a grin
We'll never put that together again.

:thud: So cruel

:(ROFLMAO: between the ex 'portrait' and the rest
-
True but sad. She was a pretty enough girl ... but the UGLY inside more than made up for it. I should have checked out her medicine cabinet a LOT more thoroughly.
:lostme:
-
Be thankful you didn't actually know that psycho bimbo. She gave new meaning to the term "two faced" as well as "two timer".
Sorry. In a mood to unload. I think that I would take Kianna any day rather than her.

Like said a song "une jolie fleur dans une peau de vache, une jolie vache déguisée en fleur". Vache ("cow") being a slang word for people not so cool.

Good Afternoon to all....
And before I grab a coffee in here....I have to commend DLL on his poetry skills that have meaning and not just conjecture :java: Ahhhhh
Got a rainy blustery day here and like it or not....I had to go out today.....but now I'm back home and dried off and Oz is sitting by the window watching the birds and Lorna is watching the "Outer Limits" on Comet TV and I have SOUND on the TV...don't know what's playing....but sound is a good thing.
And now to see what is what and who is who and why is when ..... :java:

Oups, didn't see you coming. :lostme:
At least you assured the Oz's show, and he will be happy.

Rainy, Shiny, Stormy, Snowy, Calm or Blowy .....Oz loves his Birdy TV....
I wasn't planning on coming in but couldn't remember if I was to end the poll today or tomorrow.....Guess I'll be in tomorrow also since that is the day the Poll ends LOLOL....
But all is good. Got caught up in site and with the mail...so that is a good thing. And now to check and see if I got all the items taken care of...with another :java: in hand
-
That's the problem when you mix Monday and Tuesday, or 22 and 23 :iminnocent: :psycho:

Hells Bells, I get yesterday and today mixed up at times. :iminnocent:

Excellent end of day guys! ... or is it the beginning? :ifonly:

Depends what shift you or your mind is on LOLOLOL....
Have a great night Aelin.....I've got all my stuff done and now I'll head out also.....Still sorting files...and I have s shitload of them :thud:

looking for sapphire fox hair anyone know where it can be found??
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be pork ribs on the grill with all the trimmings
-
Fafnir; a quick look tells me it is no longer available from DAZ. It was retired years ago shortly after V4. It was a V3 product apparently. Had to look as I just saw mention of it on Rendo as well.
-
Yeah I think it has been gone for awhile now. Not sure if I still have it or the installers. Lost a lot when my Toshiba went down years ago.
-
Good morning guys!
Like the others said, apparently "Sapphire fox hair" was on sale on Daz3D. Infos are here (https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Sapphire_Fox_Hair)
The colors on Rendo are also unavailable of course.
Already in 2014 the product wasn't available.
I found a site by google (no need to click to enter) that pretends you can download it... :sure:
Yeah I think it has been gone for awhile now. Not sure if I still have it or the installers. Lost a lot when my Toshiba went down years ago.
Supposedly, it must be always available inside your product library on Daz.

If you got it from DAZ at any time in the past, it should be in your DAZ Product Library. Just go to daz3d.com and access your "My Account". From there you can go directly to your "Product Library", which should contain everything you have ever acquired at DAZ. Type the name of the product you wish to find into the search feature provided above the top of the list (to the right of "Filter:"), then click the Filter button (found below the text field where you type). If you did acquire the product at DAZ, it will show up, and you may click on it to call it up for download options. There are three download options available;
1) Direct from this Product Library, you can download the .zip file which contains all the files needed for it to be properly installed into your Poser or DAZ Runtime.
2) DAZ Install Manager, also known as the DIM.
3) DAZ Direct, found within DAZ Studio's latest versions over the last four or five years.
DAZ puts all products purchased or acquired for free into a Cloud Product Library for you. That way you cannot lose what you already got from them. Not all DAZ Products will be available for all three download types, although all products are available for Manual Download, (option 1).
If you got the product elsewhere, I would check to see if they have a similar system as the one I described above, I know Renderosity does, Hivewire 3D did, and our own Fantasies Realm Market does. Most will have the .zip download files, as described above.
Please let us know if this comment is helpful to you.
-
Have not see the SF Hair for a good while now. Have it and colors in files. Be nice to find it again. BTB, has anyone seen anything of "the New Girl". Though I had it in files, but it appears to have wandered off.

Good Afternoon to all.
Hope all are having a good day today. Our day here is RAINY and RAINY with a chance of Rain later on....
So it's a good day to catch up on jobs I have to do on the inside....which are NUMEROUS. I just have to figure out which job takes priority and that might take all day :java:
-
well i cant find it at Daz so i should have it on CD somewhere thank you for all the help i had it back when i had an early version of poser 6 or 7 i think
-
Great info for all Agent....a BIG THANK YOU for putting it up .... :grenade:
-
Fafnir, This site shows an image of the hair and a link to QtyFiles Services. I have never used either site and know nothing about them. Maybe someone here may no more
3d-stuff.community/catalog/sapphire-fox-hair/amp/
-
Quarker, the creator of Sapphire Fox, also sold at Renderosity. Perhaps it's in your purchased items there. I know at some point that vendor was selling at both. Most of the Quarker products that I have from Rendo are in the 2003 range. Like the others, I got my Sapphire Fox hair from DAZ. It was in 2005 if those dates help at all.
-
I've been tempted more then once to try this place out (3d-stuff.community/) but all who I've asked about it knew nothing about it...which tells me to be "bary wary wabbit"
-
It's that site which I saw earlier today.
But the comment I saw on the wiki page for Poser and Daz is "No longer legally available". That's enough for I think there is a problem with the other site :whatthe:
-
Agreed...which is why I didn't venture further. I put my computers through enough abuse without abusing the abuse with more abuse... :java:
-
The info I provided works well at DAZ for most products. I have everything I ever purchased there in My Product Library.
Now as for something that is possibly affected by some kind of legal issue, I don't know what the policies of the affected entities are. It may well be that the product in question is affected by the results of a law suit, in which case the movement, by whatever means, of said product is now prohibited.
-
Evening. Actually my current Daz account is my second. My first really did go poof back in the day and not retrievable. Why I keep backups and externals..
-
I keep a lot on externals too, even from Daz. I just don't keep the huge more than 500Mo they have for plants in DS4, that's too crazy!
But I'm sorry for your problem with account Noshoba.
Agent, I don't think any of us doubt of your infos concerning Daz. When I worked to put on my external the things I had from there, I was even surprised to find stuff I forgot, simply because my computer (my Vista at that time) hadn't enough memory to contain everything; so I had to make choices.
So your way is a legally way to have that product - like all the products no longer available on sale on Daz that we can have in our product libraries.
No, we answered about the link found by Dee.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Well folks...I'm caught up in here again.....so I'll be heading out shortly....
But it was kinda neat that the conversation on external hard drives came up. I tried to share a picture with Aelin but she was having problems...and I didn't want to put it in here since I didn't want it to seem like I was showing off....but this shot shows the evolution of the 2 TB Externals I own...
The one on the left is a gift that my brother got me for Christmas. It's 2 TB~SSD.

I understand. I just did not know about the legal issue with that product.

There are legal issues time to time with products. Because few idiots try to catch people who desire this or that.

First chance to get on site as internet decided to pack it in for a good bit. We've had a few thunderboomers flow through here so is to be expected. Hopefully, I can get into the garage to check on some old discs that I hope are still there. I think I got them all, but you never know

Not bad at all for trying something Dreamer.
I think the organic things aren't very presentable until a very advanced step - then you can smooth them for good.
My concern would be to know if (like in Wings3d) the dark areas are to signal to you holes? If so, I don't understand why holes would be here. On a very huge and many sides model ok, but not here.

No holes just grumpy bits of mesh, not worried about it at this point as that bit is probably going to come off

Well its still ugly lol but its not a total abomination, perhaps this was a gargoyle in a past life

With paws, I prefer to hear a past life gargoyle than the K's bath :tearlaugh: But it's too good for her.

Good morning, Fafnir and Noshoba.
Fafnir, thanks for mentioning ribs. Going to have some this weekend! For today, though, it's just coffee. Maybe with a touch of JD, if the girls have it.

yes the girls stock JD among the many spirits they keep on hand for you all

Sorry for the misspell Allen...it was a long day that day..... As you can see.....I'm much better today... :ifonly:
That looks great Dreamer.....I like how the legs turned out.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir. Have a couple of pots ready...I'll be needing them.
I see Alabama got slammed with Tornadoes.... Every time I see the play backs and notice 3 houses destroyed and two right next to them untouched make me wonder if they were skipping tornadoes. But no matter what they are called....I feel sorry for all...
Our winds and rains have finally stopped here and I'm glad it wasn't snow as forecasted. We got a LOT of rain and if it were snow, I would still be shoveling.
And now to see what is what with :java: in hand.
Morning Aelin, Fafnir, Sir Knight, Noshoba, "J", and guests....

Hey Dreamer, your tub reminded me of some that Dave Swan (Birdman) made not so long ago. I thought all of that group of models were on ShareCG in his portfolio there. Just looked through all 23 pages and saw one tub, but it was the Old West style of 'saloon bath tub'. No legs, a round stand bottom is all. He did make a claw foot tub too, I have that. Yours is looking pretty good girl! Just make the feet shiny chrome or brass or gold to show off the hard work!

Thanks McG, this whole thing is chock full of detailing. Plaster Tudor roses on the fire place, actual molded skirting boards, dado rails, scotia, claw foot bath, stove with all the dials etc.

Ahh an OLD gas stove and range? Trying to remember the brand of the one I used to have in the Houston place. IT was big, but weighed over 700 pounds It had a 'green and white marbled' ceramic coating. Back in its day it was top of the line $$$! Had all the bells and whistles. Can you imagine modeling one of those? Or IS that what you modeled!?!? Ha!

I sip on my Coffee :java: all the time I am awake. That is normally two a day - of my stainless steel vacuum insulated 20 oz tumblers with 18 oz of coffee water heated in the nuke or on the stove in a pot. The ol 'barrel mug' is the measuring cup for water to be heated. Plus I can microwave water IN this cup without sparks or flames! :)** Sometimes I might have 2 or 3 of these upon awakening. Yep there are truly some mornings that bad. :coffee3: Resume normal count after consuming these ones. :OMFG:
:thud: ** [The MICROWAVE is excellent at heating water, J!]
-
The only bad thing about my "Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated 20 oz Tumbler" is that it has no handle. And some of those bad mornings, it is quite the handful. When I get the 'dropsies'. Oops moments.

:thud: ** [The MICROWAVE is excellent at heating water, J!]
I will have nothing to do with microwaves ... it gives the water and or reheated coffee a nasty taste ... at least to me it does ... as for cooking anything or even reheating ... gives me an automatic trip to the bathroom.
-
Good morning guys!
Microwave is killing even the water :fainting:
-
Is boiled water better than microwaved water?
It is better to heat on the stove or in an electric tea kettle. When water is boiled on the stove the water boils evenly and all of it boils. In the microwave the water only boils where the microwaves have hit it so you can have cold spots throughout the water.
-
Hi all! I hope that with spring it is as beautiful at your place as at my house.
I wish you a very pleasant weekend. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

Good Morning to all......
My coffee time is ALL DAY.....and my new coffee warmers I got for Christmas keeps the coffee heated up to 149 degrees all day.....so I'm a happy camper.
And I'm with "J"....I don't boil water in the Microwave...though I will heat up the coffee if needed first thing in the morning. But I do use the Microwave more then the stove.
Anyway....time to get the day started so off I go to see what is what and who is why....
PS....Hope you still have a earlobe left "J". You accidently put me in your place in one of your posts :java:

Good Morning earwenM.....Tis raining like heck....and I like it. Nothing more calming then a rainy day when you have nowhere to go....and you plenty of :java: on hand.....Ahhhhh

Nice. My current insanity is umbrella rigging. Stalling out I made patio furniture to go with it. Then a patio to put it on. Then a highrise to attach the patio to. This made me model the room on the other side of the glass doors because seeing through the building during test renders wasn't looking right. I made planters and plants for the balcony patio. I made a set of mini-lights for the inside of the umbrella. I made tiki lights and strung them around the balcony. I just haven't rigged the damn umbrella I made and that was the only thing I really wanted to do. Everything else was just stall tactics.
I need one of Fafnir's fine brews with a little fortification while I twist up the inspiration to get my day under way. I will rig this today. I will not falter yet again. I will not get sidetracked. I will rig this damn model. Well maybe after a coffee and a smoke. The F1 race is coming on shortly and I can't miss that. Ed is coming by at lunch time to take me to the electronics surplus to grab a couple of things for the RPi robot project I'm messing round with.
Guess I'll put it off for another day. More coffee please Fafnir. Make it a double. Haven't finished my inspiration yet.

Hehe you sound like me PDG, though I went the other way. Started with the cottage then started working in all the extra bits.
Now that all the modeling is mostly done, (just need to do the outside light), I have a ton of doors, windows, latches and handles to rig plus all the texturing.
Good morning guys!One word: wow!I wish I could work as faster as you do. I'm light years behind you to model :thud:

Plenty sun here in Killeen as well. Thought we have a bit of rain, but has since moved on. Had a lovely full mo . . . . . Full moon . . . so that's why my day tanked so bad. :thud: Fafnir, if you've got any to spare, I'll take a well fortified coffee . . . . just leave out the coffee.
Yes, it was that bad. :shock:

How fun, just got a call from another scam.
Recording stating that your social security number has shown suspicious activity.
Press 1 for more information. In the meantime you social security number has been suspended.
Seriously ... yep my head still zips up the back NOT!
Hung up on the message and looked it up and surprise, the Social Security office will no more call you, then the IRS will, :duh:
Part two your social security number cannot be suspended

Probably someone that doesn't realize theres a differance txixt a soc sec and a credit card.

I'll grab a quick one on the flyby Fafnir. Then it's off to tame that damnable patio umbrella. I had to re-model the spreaders yesterday and now have to rig the damn thing again. Poser's scale is so tiny that a thou out in Blender magnifies horrendously. Problem is that I'm so anal about these things that I can't let it go. The thing isn't required to function. It's for a still image but in my mind it has to work. I dislike post work as normally I animate and frame by frame painting is just too tedious for an old guy with limited movement and bad eyes. Even though the ribs and spreaders are not really required and may not even be seen in most images, it will bother me forever if I don't finish it off. Combine that with my normal inclination to laziness and ennui and one can see the hurdles.
-
Good morning guys!
And good luck for your project PDG. Few weeks ago, I was looking for the scale in Poser, between that program and DS... and it seems it's a full mess to compare :hypno: All I have retained is the Poser feet aren't the same from a Poser version to another.
A little like Greeks had their foot, and Egyptian another...
-
I might get the umpth to try modeling. One of these days. But after listening to all that, I dunno!
Don't you just love those crazy calls warning of dire financial and personal disaster if you don't respond immediately? :ifonly: Don't know how many times a warrant has been let for me. Damn IRS, SocSec, et al. :thud: I attempted to speak to the caller - sounded suspiciously like he was from India - and the first thing they ask for is my name. Don't they already have it? Else why would they call?

That really sounds like me lol getting right down to the little details even if 99.9% of the time they wont be seen.
-
Here, when you have a phone call with administrations (the true administrations), that you took an appointment on their internet sites or not, one of the first things they ask for is to confirm your name.
For one, with who I'm often with phone calls, they ask name, adress, and even aspecial number I have in their files. Then the talk can start.
Yet, it's very rare they phone themselves if you don't ask for.

The problems stands in you, you know the details. And that turns in the background of your mind.

I got a call from Chase Bank yesterday evening concerning my existing Visa card they say. Interesting for a guy that has no Visa card, let alone one issued from a bank that doesn't exist in his country. As I've stated previously; I virtually never get telemarketers, scam artists, and the like.
The modeling part is easy enough. I just wanted to set myself a rigging challenge that is beyond my skill level. Umbrellas are rather complex with seven articulated arms that have the same start and end points controlled by a single moving part, the bottom ring on the pole; but hinge from a common point at their terminus. The top ring. Poser;s native rigging isn't fond of that type of thing. It wants parent->child->grandchild and so on. Any child can have only one parent all along the chain from the end to the start which is "Hip" for Poser.
I am rigging seven children to the same parent, no problem; but they all have the same grandchild. Problem. I will probably cheat in the end. Run the rig from the bottom ring as "Hip" through one of the ribs (child) through corresponding springer (grandchild) to the top ring. The great grandchild. The rest of the ribs I'll slave as morphs so they follow along with the main movement of the bottom ring up and down.
If you look at the wip image I have on the right hand screen background you will see that there is a crank that operates the rise and fall of the brelly. Well maybe. The image is kinda small for my weak eyes to see it clearly. That crank will appear to operate the raise/lower function but is really another slaved morph. The handle just spins 15 degrees for every "inch" the bottom ring moves.
Like I said; a person really doesn't need the cage under the cloth. It doesn't make any difference as most umbrellas aren't viewed from below. Maybe for windblown scenes where the umbrella reverses, but this was really just made as scene filler for a backyard garden shot. Like I said; I'm anal about these things.

Cross posting. Yeppers ladies. You are both correct. Nobody would know but me. And I would know.

Cheers
I knew you were in the same club as I!

Good morning, Fafnir and Noshoba. Have a great day!

Morning... Growls... I dont even want to see the word for that abomination knight.
-
Remember boys and girls do not throw it down the drains in the sink as it will clog them up and require a plumber to come clean them out.
Better to use it as weed killer in the yard.

Nah.. real coffee will take out yellow jacket's nests that stuff will only make the weeds grow bigger.

Good morning guys!

decaf now thats a dirty word and the stuff ain't good for you clogs up the internal plumbing

Love the How to Drink Decaf thing! So true! Takes the whole purpose of drinking coffee away! :gremlin: :gremlin: :gremlin: :gremlin: in the mix!

decaf now thats a dirty word and the stuff ain't good for you clogs up the internal plumbing
Most definitely!

Coffee like beer, isn't drunk for flavour, Coffee for the caffine, beer for the low level alchohol.
non-alcoholic and decaffinated are an example of people not understanding why these beverages are consumed. like........ airconditioning in a convertable, defeats the purpose.

Coffee, liquid concousness. misspelled but understood.
Cheers
-
Some of the Vapes that are out now have no nicotine in them, and some are even made with THC instead. Kind of like changing the purpose of cigarette smoking.
:lostme:
-
I like decaf instant coffee and caffeine free diet coke. I have consumed these for many years and almost everyday. They have a distinct flavor I enjoy over the caffeinated and are recommended by my doctor over the others. I really have no problem with either. I like decaf I buy it, I don't like caffeine I don't buy it. No Problem.

I'm just one of those people able to eat cakes with coffee inside, but unable to drink coffee :lostme: So no coffee, no decaf for me :tearlaugh:

It's another sunny day :grenade:
And not a joke, the April contest (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24002.0) has started

It will be interesting to see what we all come up with. Monsters in the Closet, what a concept! As if we don't have enough running about the streets.
:wolvie: :gremlin:

An idea came immediately to find when I saw the topic. Now I just have to find the right pieces for it... :cool:

You can do it Sir Knight, one piece is on the other drive.....

Cheers and good fortune everyone.
-
Ah, so you know my filing system. "Put it some place else and be sure (NOT) to remember where." :thumb_up:
-
Since the theme was ready to win, an idea jumped in my mind. I'm trying to finish it now.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Wish I had the time to even come up with a fully fleshed out idea.
Sort of had one the other day but haven't figured out how to depict it.
-
Gads, and here I thought that I had the rights to such a system. Oh well. :whattodo:
Got Ideas floating about in the space betwixt ears, but as with others need to see what I have in order to ..... flesh .... it out.
-
Now if only one could find some inspiration that is of the feminine pulchritudinous variety that might help matters along.

you got Kianna to help you J

She is never around don't you remember, her and Luffie are always together and occupied

Some of the Vapes that are out now have no nicotine in them, and some are even made with THC instead. Kind of like changing the purpose of cigarette smoking.
:lostme:
I was a heavy smoker once. That ended on June 14, 2010. That morning my PC doctor got down on his knees in HIS office and begged me to stop smoking. Literally. He said he did not want to help put together my funeral. OK. Next morning, I went through the house, room by room, gathering up every lighter I found. Filled up a one gallon zip lock baggie with em! FILLED IT UP! I put that bag out front on some old furniture my sis was 'yard selling'. With a index card taped to it saying "FREE!". They were gone an hour later. FILLED up the gallon baggie! Then I began cleaning all the smoke residue off all my stuff. Had to clean the desktop computers case 3 times before it even began to look "clean".
So, nearly 11 years on, I am twice as quit as that day. You see, I lost my bladder, my prostate, 11 lymph nodes and ALL the little bits n pieces that go WITH the prostate. Including my sex life. Cancer. Lost all that to NICOTINE according to the Urology department.
I still have cravings, even to this day. I feed those cravings with sugar free menthol cough drops. Approved by Urology, Oncology, Primary Care, Podiatry and Endocrinology Doctors at the VA Med Center. I would rather endure a Kianna bite than ever smoke another cigarette! I don't even want to vape. I feel I am still addict enough to hold onto my cough drops. And I don't care what that looks like to others or what others might think. I am now a Non Smoker and I am pleased with myself for it. There, self affirmation! :)
:yippee: :shock: :explode:
dang auto update crap. My phone is pestering me to restart it now.

Oh, since I got unlimited data I use the phones connection to the internet! LOL!

Good morning guys!
Wish I had the time to even come up with a fully fleshed out idea.

Sometimes, you just have to keep the idea in a corner (of your mind, or from a paper), and look it at another moment. Taking a little piece of the idea can send you on the good way to realize it.
In addition, you always have almost all the month to do it.

Mornin coffee and coco are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops fried shrimp and king crab legs with hushpuppies tater wedges and coleslaw
-
Good morning, Fafnir, Aelin and McG.
Fafnir, now that's a meal!
Aelin, I usually have an idea for the contest near the end of the month with not enough time to actually make it.
-
All contests don't ring a bell for me. That's the reason when we are in the first voting round, I already look what are the main choices, and write them in a file.
Then the final round comes, and I can see what choice is leading... when we haven't a tie. But it's giving a little more time to catch ideas.
And now, we are trying to have the choice made days before the contest starts. Of course, the write can be different from what we all thought first when voting, but there is a basic possibility. And if ideas are florishing in our minds, once the contest is launched, it's time to jump with :ifonly:
I think closets and monsters are pretty easy for once :ifonly: So let the insanity come to you!

Excellent end of day guys!

Good Afternoon to all.....
Finally....I'm caught up in here.....
Sorry for being MIA....but nothing is normal in life anymore....so I do the best I can with what I got LOLOL.....
Anyway....the weekend is approaching....and I hope you all have some great plans now that the weather is a "WEE" bit warmer for many. It's still chilly here but not cold. It's got to be below 32 degree for it to be considered "Cold". The Mornings are cold but by midday we are in the 40's which is WONDERFUL....
And now to see if I missed anything and then I'll take a trip to the gallery. I have a lot of catching up to do in there also but that will be next weeks chore....Commenting on all that I've missed...
Now, to have some of Fafnirs :java:......ahhhhhhh

Good Morning to all......thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....tis chilly out but it's early yet....it's supposed to get up to 39 or 40 today so it's a heatwave in the making.
And now to get the day started in here....

Today is a strange day. The weekend we haven't trains; and during the week, it's 2 in a direction, 2 in the other each day. Yet, since the morning, we had 3 trains.
This afternoon, I see bikers driving on the road before our complex building. Many Harleys according the noise. No one official meeting yet. And no time to take the camera to try photos.
:lostme: :lostme:

I think they are doing it on purpose just to confuse you Aelin......but then again.....confusing you is not that easy.....You're a admin in here and that by itself is confusing at times :tearlaugh:

Morning Fafnir...... and to think I just ate a burger king's breakfast sandwich.... I had no time this morning, had to run a few errands right before getting to work at 9am......Well at least I haven't had breakfast from outside in a few months.....
But your menu for today is making me hungry already!!
:sadder:

Evening folks! Glad y'all had nice Easters, mine was wonderful. FEDEX delivered a 32" widescreen monitor to me on Easter Sunday. They shouldn't have, honestly! I'd have been happy with a Monday delivery. But it arrived Sunday, so I brought it in, cleared the desk off and started over setting up my desk from scratch. The ol 24" widescreen is now playing catchall on the left, the ol 23" widescreen is now waiting for something to do. And the 32" widescreen fairly fills my vision right in front of me. It's native resolution is 2560 x 1440 @ 75 HZ. And that looks LOVELY! Poser likes it. Everything is doing fine in it, including my poor ol eyeballs! It was on sale so scarfed it up, spur of the moment deal. I also got what I went to Walmart.com for. 4 new sets of bed sheets. Sheets and monitor arrived together. I am impressed!And THEN, well, saw a popup in app ad for a refurbished VIZIO 32" LED Smart TV. One of their better ones, just refurbished. They don't tell ya why it got refurb'ed, ya have to guess at that. But as it behaves and looks perfectly brand new is a treat. Yep, my first actual really SMART TV. Comes with some 80 apps built in. Good grief! Seems all late model Smart TV's have WiFi built in. Didn't say that on the box or in the ad. But it's there and it works fine. That arrived yesterday, Monday, along with the two movies I'd ordered. So everything was early or on time as promised! Impressive yet again.
So now all screens I look at are LED backlit LCD flat panel displays. The two TVs have their own BluRay players, have HDMI in use, both display the DISH programming great, and both are full HD 1080 with built in speakers. The new monitor has only 2 HDMI and 1 Display Port. No VGA or DVI ports at all. But, HDMI handles higher resolutions than the old DVI does. Plus, HDMI carries sound too. BUT I use a USB headset and my ancient Altec-Lansing 45S subwoofer+twin satellite speakers set keep me happy. And the house shaking! LOL! After over 20 years of use, it still tickles me just HOW powerful that speaker set is. I keep the bass turned way down so it just rattles the windows a little bit. :oD He he he!I feel like this Easter was actually Christmas or my Birthday again. Even if I supplied the gifts to me my own self, it felt nice, truly! :)
AND SO, off to the VA and that angry little podiatrist...again. At least I will start off in a good mood. :oP

mornin' coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be king crab legs with melted butter for dipping and shrimp salad. tater wedges and hushpuppies

Evening everyone! Hope you are enjoying the weather. it is nice and finally spring feeling over here for us. But of course I'm stuck at work til 8pm, so blah. At least I got 8 windows that I can walk up to and stare outside on and off and of course all the book in the Y.A. room to keep me company
:luvbooks:
Wow Granpa, looks like you were busy but happy busy
:yes:
Well once again I did bring my external drive so I'll be playing with Blender when no one is watching...

@ Noshoba-TL; Oh hey, I got that one! ROFL!
@ T.I. - yeah I was busy in a very happy way. ALL that got started when I was looking through my linen and realized every sheet n pillow case I have is like at least 35 yrs old now. Time for some new ones. Seeing as I stuck my foot plumb through one of the antique fitted sheets the other night. Definitely time for some new ones. And Walmart.com came through! Those 4 sets of bedding were the least expensive of my "Busy" too :D Ha!Ehhhrrr yep, see how well Walmart.com came through? 4 sets of bedding, three or 4 new BluRay movies, a new Smart TV and a new BIG computer monitor! All arrived within one week of ordering. (This time!). One happy Grandpa! :oD

Morning all. Yes McG was very amusing to see in the notify. Even my spelling of my username is not correct since I dont know how to put the proper letter form in...
-
Good morning guys!
At least, they don't take me for an alien :tearlaugh:
-
That could still happen Aelin. Being mistaken for an alien is not that bad. Try being mistaken for a possible terrorist!!!!
So Mc-G, sounds like you like your set up. Those 32inchers are really sweet. Especially at our age when you need a larger display.
-
If you haven't the same ideas than the government, that happens in France. Years ago we had an example, and all concerned people are always seen like terrorists by the authorities.
Like I'm not a sheep, I guess I can be badly looked one day or the other. That's human life :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin..
-
Okay new season of How not to summon a Demon Lord looks decent. I think they changed the voice actors though..and Shera has more boing than the first season..

That hasn't happened here yet. Yet being the operative word. Actually I was a security guard in Atlanta Ga. One of the girls came into the lobby, took one look at me .... dad's from Honduras, and mom from here in the states. I'm about as multi-ethnic as you can get!!!! ... anyway, she pulls my wife aside and whispers to her .... "You don't think he could be one of ..... them, do you?" Connie just cracked up laughing. On a different note, while in Germany during the time that the Arabs were getting ignorant with the Israelis, since we might have gotten orders to slap 'em around a bit, that kept ribbing me about how I looked. Kept telling me to keep my head down, just in case. Those Israelis don't play around. That's me on the right of my little brother, so you can see what I mean

Morning Fafnir.. Usual early start for me..

Good afternoon guys!
I'm late because of the joy which happened just before midday: works in the building where I live. And very noisy, at the point you can't even hear what the other near you is saying, nor think about anything.
We took the hamsters in the room where the box for internet is, and like they aren't fans of those things, we don't turn it on when they are here.
Ok, lunch passed, and like midday was passed too, no more works. Hamsters back in the room where they are most of time. Things of the house done like it wasn't possible with such mess.
And just when the box was turned on internet and my broswer ended to load... the a**holes were back. It was like that for a large part of the afternoon. And they made our floor and another one. Not the others.
And for what? Optical fiber that nobody uses, like it's worse than ADSL. Strangely, the optical fiber was installed years ago where I lived before, and never the guys needed to come and make such mess. I didn't look yet how is the common floor outside, but works were made weeks ago at the ask of the landlord for floors and walls; I wonder how it's now. And those works, it was noisy and we needed to take hamsters in the same way. But compared to today, it was a lullaby.
So we had stressed hamsters, stressed (even if less) cats. Impossibility to think, read, make computer, or listen anything. :sure:
Hips, people stop often to the appearance, and don't look further. At least when they meet you. Alas, we can't change that. So for them, what you look is simply what you are :duh:

Mornin' Fafnir. I have time for a cup. Have a new experience coming up this am. Telehealth. My family Dr. got sick with COVID a couple weeks back. Hospital called me yesterday telling me I now have a new doctor. Old one has passed. Scripts are due for renewal and when the pharmacy called for renewal hospital realized that wasn't going to happen so they assigned a new doc. Dude is gonna give me a call first thing A.M. Refuse to turn a camera on for him.
This poor old man, pdg; has no mobile devices. Land line or tin cans connected by string. Only way to connect. Makes Govt., hospitals, banks, and the like; absolutely insane. pdg has had his id compromised before. "Do You Yahoo?" Not now. The real me, no way. Not going to happen any time in the near future either.
Damn Govt. keeps getting compromised so there is no way they get direct connection like email so it is entirely unlikely that anyone else in an official capacity is going to be getting it either. On line shopping is via prepaid cards as some of you may remember from when the apt was B&Ed and they got a couple hundred bucks worth and a whole stack of cards with less than a buck if anything left on them.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and PDG. Another great second meal! Do need coffee this morning.
PDG, it will be interesting to hear how that goes. Really puts the "tele" in telehealth. :thumb_up:
-
Gonna be interesting to find out who the new sawbones is. Better be good. My med history is terrifying. Mostly manufactured parts held together with screws and rods. Lots of surgeries. Cancer the size of a Fosters beer can removed from the back of my head just over a year ago. Almost didn't make it. Gonna be interesting.
-
Good morning guys!
How true. I am what I am. Nice thing, I have a feral growl that gets the idiots to just leave me the hell alone. Either that or I just start throwing trash cans, among other things. :ifonly:

Was wondering where that came from ....

Ha HAH HA ha ha ha! Good MORNING ye olde Denizens of thee ATTIC! Ahh so right Hipshot. As I sit here looking at this screen I wonder how the hay I ever got on without it. My first actual monitor (not a 13" B&W TV!) was a whopping 15" !!! And it was an EEGA. Kinda had modes between EGA and VGA. I think about the old muddy view and flicker vision and BLEAH! Yeah I am loving this setup now! Ha! 32" at 75 Hz is pretty nice. 2560 x 1440 is too :D The video card loved it big time. Then there is the new VIZIO 32" Smart TV. TL mentioned he loves VIZIO and after being lost in rooting out all the goodies this TV came with for two days now, yeah! I got the 89 app row sorted, my VUDU and other accts brought in, the SANYO BluRay player set up, the networking done, and all the FREE channels and shows are boggling. Many channels full of free shows and movies. Way worth the $139.99 for a refurbished one. And it don't even know it's a refurb! :oD I have NASA TV as my first favorite. Then VUDU, and so on. It even lets me pick out individual shows such as The Mandalorian without going thru Disney+ first. Yeah yeah gotta sub to that one and THEN it works! :D So now I can get some sleep. Heh!
-
Good Morning to all,
Been a LONG couple of days.....but tis better then NO couple of days LOL.
Cool photo HS....tis a sad truth about what you and Aelin stated...that's for sure.... Growing up in the projects taught me one thing.....Color is nothing more then that....color. The projects are a mixing pot of all flavors....and we all got along....Adults and kids...Some kids you liked...some you didn't...but it had nothing to do with color...but plenty to do with attitude LOLOL...but you still got along...just didn't hang out.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....good talking to you the other day.....
Wow Aelin.....it sounds like a noisy mess at your place...I hope it's a better time this weekend......
Good Morning Sir Knight....and PDG... Sound like an interesting day for sure PDG...and always better to be "Safe" then "Sorry"..... Had one teleconference after my surgery and didn't turn on my camera either...though I do have a few of them LOL....Just use them with my relatives...
And now to grab a :java: and see how much I've missed in here.
-
Morning McG.....
Glad you're having fun with the Vizio. Right now I have Pluto TV/Forensic Files on. And keep in mind...MST3K has it's own channel on Pluto...and a few other channels.
-
And in THAT day of the Daewoo 15" EEGA Monitor, none of us had a clue what we would be looking at today. We were dreaming about ways of making a 'tube' that was thin and flat. But had no idea how useful the goofy fad, the MOOD RING would come to be. Liquid Crystals. Someone had a BRILLIANT idea about those things. And folks are still improving them all the time. I expect a display now that doesn't use liquid crystals at all, but tiny Light Emitting Diodes instead. Using polarity, frequency shifts and varying voltages we have the whole visible spectrum of output now. So, why NOT a true LED Array display?! Cool :D
-
I recall seeing that Myst3k, TL. AND Pluto is one of the FREE apps. Will go explore that for a while now! Ah and the VIZIO Watch FREE! App is nice too. Free = NICE :D\

Indeed Indeed....

and i got a LG smart TV yea i gotta read the manual and see all the tricks it does

Oh Crap ..... :thud: Honestly *he says, holding crossed fingers behind back* It wasn't me officer. I wouldn't do that to such a ... lady.
*turns around and starts scrubbing garbage stains of hands* See? it couldn't have been me! :whattodo:

Excellent end of day guys!
It seems the wind we had today (nothing wrong) is now turning in a storm. Will be an easy lullaby, in addition of cats :tearlaugh:
I see you tomorrow, except if the lines fall during the night.

Alive we think we be. Be well Aelin..
Thanks For the comments..havent had much time to do anything recently.

Morning Fafnir.. I had fun with that one. Still tweaking it. Mood for some western style fantasy lol.
-
the weather folks say it supposed to be a rainy day we shall see did have a high wind and rain event last night but didn't last long and no damage to my trailer
-
We keep dodging the bullet here.
-
Glad you're OK, Fafnir. Some of the news didn't look good. Tornadoes in addition to the night winds.

And in the immortal words of Grace Slick,"Good morning People. It's a new dawn."
A very wet new dawn with more grey on the way for the rest of the day. Such a change from yesterday. Spent the afternoon on my postage stamp of a balcony sucking back beer in the sunshine. Haven't done that in a couple of years now but my buddy Ed dropped me off a dozen local IPAs back in Feb. and heaven forbid I let unpasteurized alcoholic beverages go off because they were left to languish in a corner of the kitchen cupboard.
Guess I am going to have to get in to meet the new Dr. in person soon come. She called about 45 minutes late yesterday. Left waiting for acknowledgement just like going in to the office itself. "The doctor will be with you shortly." Yeah right. Just like "Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line..." She really should have checked my files. I'm on enough medication to fell a moose and float the carcass four feet off the ground after it drops. One of them requires that I reapply for coverage every two years with the Govt. due to it's cost and narrow field of use. The Province covers my drug cost and is cracking down on pain meds due to over prescribing of opioids. Chickie poo saw the scripts she was supposed to renew; but not the mechanical man they were going in to. I've been on this latest batch of meds for over 20 years now. Telling me I should get off my meds does not endear her to me. I am well practiced in drug abuse should I so choose. twenty years of special dispensation for catastrophic drug coverage should tell her that is not happening. Seeing my hairy ass in a tie dye and permanently tinted specs on her screen would do nothing to support my statements that I am not a junkie. So... It's off to office on Monday. I did get my renewals for a single month though.
-
Good Morning,
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
Good morning, PDG and M-C.
PDG, I'm sure you'll be able to convince her. You're really articulate and the 20 year argument has got to be persuasive.
Hi, M-C! Did you find the virus?
-
Good morning guys!
I read what you said in a moment. We are in the middle of a firefighter intervention, and yes, I'm curious

Good morning, PDG and M-C.
Hi, M-C! Did you find the virus?
Good Morning RRKKnight3,
Scan finally finished for both of the computers. One is updating the OS and some drivers, but no viruses or malware was found on either computer. I was scanning for items a hacker would leave in the software like a tracer, worms, or other item that would show up at the wrong time and wreck your whole day. Hopefully the scan was totally successful, but who knows with the way things go nowadays with people who are not ethical hackers can invent things that are not detectable until the people in security can see it and be able to solve the problem. Looks like security will be a area of job growth in the US for computer networks and IT. It would be the best place to study for it, if you are a young person somewhere around 40 and younger. May get a good salary out of it too.
-
afternoon to you all
so far we are doing ok on the weather rainy but not to bad more stuff coming out of the gulf
i have pain meds that are for one month have to renew every month cause of the opioid crackdown and oh by the way we want you to cut down on the amount of pills you take

Been having the :rainy: since about 10:00 AM off and on, currently back on , light rain but still not thinking about stopping any time soon.
Fortunately I got back from my second trip to Cape Canaveral over the weekend, before it started the first time. Plus, was able to make a run for some of the stronger stuff in between the rain.
-
Well, I finally was able to do my search on web archive, but with many difficulties and it was always slow like hell. All that to found nothing of what I hoped :shrug: but it's nothing important.
Excellent end of day guys!

Good Morning to all....
Sorry for being MIA but I'm on a mission. I've been consolidating files from the external hard drives so I can can start my consolidation of Freebies. I almost have that 2 TB drive my brother gave me for Christmas full....so now clearing things off my 4 TB Hard Drive.
Anyway....I've got some items I have to hunt for per requests and then back to the consolidation, duplicate cleaning (based on the download date) and then catalog them....which will probably be complete NEVER LOLOL...
SO have a fun day....
By the way Mc-G..... Check out your Local Now channel. Not only does it get the weather and local news...but if you press the up button or the down button you will find Movies, Shows, And many other selections....
Classic Shows: Flash Gordon (1954-1955), Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Victory at Sea, The Deputy, The Californians, Man Against Crime, Annie Oakley, Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon (Amazing Strange Wolrd Adventures) The Roy Rogers Show, The Adventures of Jim Bowie, The Star and The Story, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.....LOL
-
Just remember, there are a few upgrades that are very close to the original naming, that need the original to work.
Cheers
-
Good Morning Fafnir....thanks for the coffee.....I need it today....
And I'll be late tomorrow....Lorna has Appointments at the Clinic most of the day tomorrow so I'll play Taxi driver once again. And no....No drivers License....Hasn't had one for 25 years....she gets to nervous....
And Sir Knight....You see how long I stay on Facebook.....just long enough to get our winners up.....give birthday greetings....tell a joke...and gone for another week LOLOLOL
-

I know how that goes. Just picked up the update to Glidman's NoNameGirl, third try. Looks good though.
'Nother monday here. Got rain in the forecast for the rest of the week. Bleah! :yeeech: Shall see how it goes. Need to go to the VA on the morrow. Need to let the mossies and vamps have yet another go at me. They keep this up and I'm gonna turn into a pale reflection of myself.
-
Picked that up yesterday.....or was it this morning LOL...I have no idea....but I did pick it up....

Thanks for the tip! Yep I will check that out in just a few for sure. I tell you, I am surprised at the sheer huge amounts of things that these newer Smart TV's bring us. I was looking through TMobile's version of that 'VIZIO watch for free' channel and saw that LG gives much the same in their batch of built in Apps. Like you point out, there are tricks that open up even more goodies! Even if Sis & BiL just flat drop DISH, as long as we have a bit of Interwebs, we got TV! LOL! I reckon I should mention this: The TMobile stuff I have been perusing might be for TV...but it's cast from my PHONE! Which is an LG Stylo 6 (and I already lost the darn Stylus! Ordered 2 more OEM types, they arrive later this week). And I even called myself being careful to put the Stylus back in its place and locked in. Missing in action! Sheesh.
Hey Fafnir, I hear ya on checking out all your goodies in your LG TV! They give lots of stuff even for a monitor. The kinds of things that usually go with a TV I think. I like the on-screen controls and even the HDMI In/Out and Stereo Audio out. Straight from the VIDEO card! LOL! I have been enjoying LG appliances for ten years now. They are great, honest. I love my "little" 8600 BTU Window AC unit. I am impressed with its performance as well as its energy rating. It draws less current than the older 5500 BTU GE window unit. There is a lot to like about these newer brand names. LG and VIZIO are two I look for first now!

Good afternoon guys!
Another happy midday today. Back at home around 11:30 AM, and 15 minutes later... the 'workers' from the other week were in the building to make noisy holes again. No track of them yesterday (and it wasn't a closed day in France). And today ta-da :lostme:
Of course the hamsters weren't glad of that, and passed the rest of the time where workers were around with one or the other human here. So no internet.
Oh, and passed 4PM, the guys were always around, and starting to remove their job clothes. To clean the outside of their vans. And to talk. And during almost 1 hour. :lostme:

Another Great Day,
If you don't have a bad day once in a while you will never know what a good day is and would never be thankful for it.
Hope everyone is having a good day. :cool:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
If you don't see me tomorrow in your morning, you'll know it's the same reason than today
-
Yeah, I can understand that. Works though. Now back home from VA. Took Connie to dinner and then had to take daughter to Dr office to get her meds. Silly little twit knew about all this, and still late for work. She just doesn't get it, I think. The only person I know that can start getting ready for work at 12/00 or 1/1300hrs - if she's lucky - and still be late getting to work at 5/1700. She'll want to make sure that I'm ready to roll, and then still take a half hour or better to get her own act together. (This is at around 4:30, by the way)

Me being a forgetful (but PUNCTUAL!) old codger.... once was pushed by eldest dotter to get meself ready to take eldest dotter to work and.... when she wasn't ready, I naturally got in the car and drove off. Without her. To her job. Without her. Doh. She never made me wait again.
-
mornin coffee and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the fixings

Good morning guys!
Crossed the 'workers' in another part of the town when back to home today. Hamsters and cats not stressed, and no track of any idiots around :grenade:
We'll see if it stays that way all the rest of the week -and forever I hope.
I was taught to be ready enough before the time to go, and as much as possible to be near the place where I must go (appointment, job...) something like 10/15 minutes before the hour decided.
So when I'm late, it's only I arrive to the exact hour :tearlaugh:

Yes, when I am 15 minutes early I am on time. When I show up exactly at the time requested I am late ... just how I was taught

Yep how I was taught as well. My biggest pet peeve...and works both ways...you need to be on time with me as well or I will find someone else.

if i got an appointment or say i going to be there to do something i will be early as to the time set to be there by at least 15 to 20 minuets

Nope, and today same peace. Even if a moment ago one of their vans was on the parking of the supermarket. But I think it was just for the gasoline.
As longer as no animal is stressed when back at home, it's they didn't come here. But I can tell you they have some optical fibers around the town, just attached to one building here, another there, and waiting for they come back and end the job.
-
Good Morning,
Happy Friday and for those who work the weekends, I hope it comes soon and wish you a Happy Friday too. Friday the Gateway to the weekend!

TL there is a dedicated button on the remote "WatchFREE". It opens right to the VIZIO group. Watching Black Snake Moan right now :)

Hummmm My head hurts after that one.... :thud:

Which snobbity arsed (enforced lower case (doctors) and their (receptionist-wife) *require* (IN the VA hospital no less!) you be 30 minutes early for YOUR appointment OR be written OUT as NO SHOW. And IF the (rectalistism-wife) (did I speel that right?) does accept your as arriving timely . . . this one really pisses me off . . . you shall be blessedly granted a FOUR HOUR WAIT to be seen. And IF you so much as pester her with ONE request, you are written down as a NO SHOW and are not seen that day. You must make a new appointment to attend in perfeckingtion or do all over yet again. After which Dr. DAVID TROUT has the VA ADMINISTRATION cancel (he tried to!) your Optical Benefits.
My vow binds me. My imagination sets me free. You folks being genteel and decent would not want to see what I WANT to do with those two sub-human slug creatures.

FIrst, the saboted round, next, the charge and primer cap. The only thing the Tank as left inside to get rid of is a pretty smallish thin brass primer casing. Pop, thunk! HEY! Nothing like the earlier 35 lb brass charge and primer case! Those really hurt! Like being flipped out of the 5" ships mount at 1 per second or two. Makes for perilous walking on the fore deck!

Good Morning,
Hope everyone is doing fine.
Well today I am going into town and seeing about getting rid of DSL which is getting like 56K was when DSL was new and getting 4G connection here. A 1 gig file which is very common nowadays take about 10 to 15 hours to down load on DSL. it is time to cut the cord and the rates are better for a 4G technology. Plus the DSL is getting unstable, the quality of infrastructure of DSL seem not to be upgraded as time goes by with the increasing down time I am experiencing.
-
That does not sound good Agent. But DSL? I thought that was the old dial up ..... might be showing my ignance here, but who cares? In any case, hope you get it sorted out.
Now that was a good clip Rad. Rather hoped to see the snuffie on the ground get beaned! (Got a small sadistic streak from having to deal with some of those dumbasses in my own time in service.) Thought the case would have been larger though. Guess having a two part charge you can get away with that. All the case does is seal the breech so that all the hot air goes out the tube, rather than frying the crew. I like the way the boys in the back yard move about in an attempt to dodge, not realizing that the commander would traverse a bit to engage another target ..... as well as to nail another in the rear!
-
That's what the rear view mirror's for...... targetting the brass.. 8 )

Home at last and a bit amused to run into someone that went to same elementary school I did in Georgia.. of course roughly 30 years after I did lol.

All for the morning coffee sharpener. Hope I make it back for lunch. Haven't had crab legs of any type in years.

Good morning, Fafnir, Dreamer, Noshoba and parkdalegardener. I hope that all of you have a good day!
Dreamer, what's leading you to need a new car? My wife's car got slower and slower. Several mechanics and the dealer couldn't figure out why it was acting that way. We eventually gave up and got another.
-
Good morning guys!
Today is a sunny day. But next 24 hours:
- the night will have frozen temperatures, and rain during tomorrow
- the night and tomorrow will be rainy
:lostme: Waiting to see what forecast weather is the good one, I don't know yet how to interprete the new message of Mini Forecast: "I put my nest in my food bowl" :tearlaugh:

Cloudy with a chance of hamster food? :peek:
-
Is that to BE hamster food? Or just dropping hamster food?
Oh well. Morning all! Just had a hell of a wake up call. Had to put me Subie - Subaru, that is - in for service. Had a bit of a prob with the brakes. The weather in Mich, where I got it from was a real bear. Gave good service for over ten years under my roof, then took a major dump! Service dealer just called and gave me the bad news. :thud: I knew the Baja had a few problems - putting it mildly - but easily solved, thanks to a suggestion from Service Manager. All paperwork now getting completed and should have Baja back in drive no later than end of this week, or beginning of next.
:woohoo:
I'd miss that little baby for sure. Connie picked her out so definitely want to see her cruising the roads once again.
-
Hope they get everything fixed soon for you Hipshot

Having a bus try climbing through the rear window is what is behind me needing to go car shopping, got the call from the assessor Friday to say sorry not fixable and the clams will be in touch soon to let me know what the payout will be
-
It seems it's the bad moment for cars :lostme:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Hipshot love the Baja...
My turn...seems more than a cracked battery my truck is still MIA. Might be terminal heads. Sheesh my 150 been down since Easter morning.
-
Don't feel bad Nosh. My daughter's car has been in my drive way/garage/mech's shop/etc.etc.etc for almost as long. She lost her license - long story that - doesn't want to replace it. Thinks it costs way too much what with fuel/insurance/tagging/inspections/etc.etc,etc. Suggested that she just get rid of it, but she wants to keep it as it was the first car that she had bought with her own money. Little does she know . . . . .
:ifonly:
That little subie of mine has been a prize winner ever since I bought it. Don't know how many folks have attempted to talk me out of it. Hated to dissappoint ...... HA! Currently only three others in the area. One the same paint scheme, one Dk Marroon over silver and one silver over silver.
-
Morning to you all coffee and cocoa are ready with rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with tater wedges and BBQ beans with meat trimmings in them for added flavor, and coleslaw

Morning ... Well looks like more than just the battery wrong..
-
Good morning guys!
Finally, no freeze during the night, and no rain too. It's a simple cloudy and sunny day.
-
hope it's nothing major Nosh
-
Hoping its the terminals not the cables to...notice one of them cant be tightened as it was broken off on bottom.
-
Well can join Dreamer in the bus fan club. Just got sideswiped by a school bus in downtown Charleston. And they kept on rolling.

Charleston SC? I lived there when I started elementary school. Pop was stationed at the Naval Base there and we had to live close by to make ends meet.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin ...and yes Agent I am in Chucktown. Bus sideswiped me at Calhoun and Meeting.
-
Nosh I hope you got the number and tag of bus then you can call company and police as it is a hit and run for leaving the scene and if you got it on dash cam even better
-
Afraid not since he was moving to fast . Suspect he didnt even feel himself hit me. He was making right turn and I was going straight bad angle to get look at plate. Fortunately there are cameras art that intersection
-
yes that may help i hope so and i would get a dash cam
-

Just a coffee for me. Single shot. I need warming up to head out this AM. Got a few inches of snow last night and it's still falling for now. Hard to do the groceries when you need the bundle buggy to walk. Ed is working days this week so I can't get him to come into the city and give me a lift.
-
early morning physical therapy appointment for back pain this morning
Hands PDG a steaming mug with a single shot
-
Good morning guys!
It was a foggy day at the beginning, then the sun was well present. But clouds came at the end of the morning, and we are now under them - and few rain.
I suspect the bus must have few tracks of the thing, and that more videos can help.
Good luck with your appointment Fafnir.
-
Hope the appointment went well. We ended up with 6 inches of snow on the ground by the time it stopped. Damn annoying. Thought we were done with this whole foolishness for another year. It should be melting this time of year. Not piling up. Grrrr. Hate spring snow. Slushy ice is supposed to contain to-kill-ya and lime not road salt and dog pee.
-
I was there in Charleston SC in the early 1960s. Both the John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations occurred during that time. A little later, we moved to Virginia Beach, as Pops station was changed to NOB in Norfolk VA.
-
Never did get anywhere near Chuckie'stown. Closest was Jacksonville and Ft Story. Bit of a long story there, would relate what happened, but then I would have to kill all of you. Had plenty of near misses with s'cool buses though. Those things can hurt. Getting sideswiped is not fun. Thought I caught one while in Germany - even to hearing the bang of impact - but when I got out to check out the damage, there was nothing! Even the MP checked my car (75 Datsun B210 sedan) ...... Imagine that, an American, driving a Japanese import over in Germany! ...... How weird is that?
'Course later, while taking my - at the time soon to be ex - to the padded cell hotel, I was forced to pull over so that I could gain some measure of control. Got over to the curb . . . . this is in Nurenburg/Furth W Germany . . . . got her settled down and then ...
wait for it . . . . :nopanic;
BANG!!!!! Got hit by a 77 or so BMW. Dumb sombitch rear ended me! Running too close to the curb while taking the turn. He got the tickets and the insurance bills - looked like he could afford it. Only did 500.00 or so damage to Datsun. Did 'bout 5-6 grand on his.
-
physical therapy went well going to be sore till muscles and hips get flexible again then mayhap i will be able to get rid of this back pain we shall see
-
:thumb_up: Fafnir
Excellent end of day guys!

:lostme: Fafnir do you Elevate your legs when you sleep it helps some with back pain in bed.
-
yes Rad i elevate them also helps with circulation and water/ swelling

Waves... Win10 is on my craplist apparently shut down my video card. Finally getting home from work due to area manager being clueless about the 6 Ps

We have on occasions a shop manager that is as clueless as a ... well insert thy favorite comparison.

Good MORNING peoples! I am so glad for me to see y'all today. Means I woke up again! YIPPEE! :yippee: :thumb_up: :happydance: :Hi5:
I have come to the inescapable conclusion that even with ALL the assorted aches and pains, waking up is still better than the alternative! Ha! :yes:
. I am seeing and praying about all these accidents you are getting into. What a mess!
HipShot, I'd love to have a Subaru Baja too! But if that means giving up my 22 year old Grand Cherokee Laredo I've been tooling around in for the last 16 years....NOPE! The ol Burgundy Gal fits my old frame nicely, thank YOU! But a seriously YELLOW paint job looks really cheerful, it does! :D
Fafnir, glad your PT went well, and thanks for the coffee too!
My own doc visit went well. The wound IS healing well and doc is making happier mumbles about that now. He is pleased with the vascular ultrasound too, and the xrays, infectious disease verdict, etc. No digging around inside foot suggested now. :crazysmile: !
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa are ready with the usual fortification the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be oven roasted ham with all the trimmings and tater wedges

McG glad your foot is doing better and glad doc ain't diggin in foot keep on doing good

Good morning guys!
Glad to hear the good news for you McG!
-
Good Morning,
Glad to hear the good news Mc G too.
-
Morning greetings to all! Hey Fafnir, got some tea for me!
McG, that's the spirit! Glad your are doing great!
-
Hands TI a fresh cup of tea good to see you it is :peek:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
McG . . . . glad to see that I'm not the only one to hand onto a still running vehicle until it self destructs. That old 75 Datsun I had lasted until I got to Fla in late 83, after I got out of service. Apparently, the folks that buit it didn't think that rust proofing was necessary. Tried to jack up r/f end one day. The car stayed level and the jack kept going - right through the body! Needless to say . . . .
Also had a Toyota Hilux p/u for a bit. I cannot claim its demise as I wasn't the one driving it. Had left it in brother's care while in Korea. Came back on emergency leave because Mom was not long for this world. While staying with Lil sister, her .... *cough, cough, ahem...* $#@$$%*&!!!!! boyfriend "borrowed" said vehicle. He brought it back alright, then did a vanishing act that would have made Houdini proud. The stupid sombitch was DUI and struck another car, then fled the scene of the accident.
Problem . . . . local cops recognized veh as brother had friends in cop shop, as well as doing some extensive custom work. Finding out that I was the owner, they attempted to arrest me! Luckily, had solid aliby or I would have been cooling heels in the El Paso slammer.
I was good, truck . . . . not so much. Don't know how he drove it home, especially with the r/f "A" frame broken, r/f rim busted, from from center of grille over to the passenger's door crushed in rather severely. Needless to say, it was totalled. Never did catch the sucker afore I had to return to Korea.

Good morning, Fafnir. I see today's theme is bacon. Love it! I'll have to start with coffee, though. Have a great day!
-
Good morning guys!
And cops, didn't they catch the guy, Hipshot?
-
Good Morning,
Ah the smell of coffee and bacon in the morning a great treat to greet one in the morning.

No Aelin. They unfortunately did not. Guess not that high a priority. Either that or sister didn't say much. In any case, truck totalled - you wouldn't BELIEVE all the beer cans that were in the back! On return from Korea, that's when I picked up the Datsun. Loved that little car. Even though the poor little thing was scared spitless of many of the other vehicles it faced on the autobahn after later transfer to Germany. Might do 60-70 downhill with a stiff breeze behind it!
Driving along one day, headed down south when I noticed some headlights in the distance. Didn't pay any attention .... "Oh, he's WAY back there" ... next thing I know this low, dark, shark shaped thing shot by like a "rocketship on rails" to coin a phrase . . . . I swear it scared my poor little Datsun . . . . not to mention me so bad that it just jumped over into the service lane on the right!!!
Oh, and McG . . . . Connie was the one to pick the Baja. That yellow over silver was, and still is, very cool. Can I help it that it just matches Armor Cav Yellow?
-
That sucks Hipshot :lostme:
Guys, I hope no one of you bought a Pro bundle on Daz in the last 24 hours. It's the mess with that currently, with started bundles now missing from the product libraries.

Good Afternoon to all.....
Sorry for being MIA of late but this Winter/Spring weather change gets me every year. I go out to do yard work when it's about 32 degrees with no snow on the ground....but don't dress properly for the 32 degrees since it IS SPRING.....
Example.....Yesterday in Wisconsin...article says 18 but final count was more like 48 cars involved.... https://www.wisn.com/article/at-least-18-vehicles-involved-in-crash-on-i-41-1-dead/36189877# (https://www.wisn.com/article/at-least-18-vehicles-involved-in-crash-on-i-41-1-dead/36189877#)
Anyway....I've got some catching up to do and then hit the gallery. I see you've been busy Sir Knight....EXCELLENT......Love the storyline.....
Fafnir...thanks for the call and alerting Aelin.....Right now I'm watching the launch that happened this morning....it WAS this morning...Right? I've got 02:02:56 seconds to lift off.
Was going to get in earlier but had to take Lorna out to pick up her new specs....Finally...No more bitching about "I can't read what that says" LOLOL
Now, let me do some more reading in the coffee shoppe and see who did what and why and where....with :java: in hand...
-
Have a great night, Aelin.
The poll doesn't show as a poll to me... :insist:
What does it show up as Sir Knight? Noshoba just voted and I am in there now and it looks fine to me....
-
It looks like the attached. No check boxes. Windows 10, Firefox 87. I can try from some other systems in a little bit.
Sorry to hear the time of year is getting you. I think a lot of us are suffering. pollen.com says it's a 11.6 on a scale of 0-12 here.
Thank you for your kind words on the story. It's close to the end of this chapter. I really appreciate the encouragement. I don't feel like people go back and read thank you's that I add to comments so I haven't been commenting on the comments but I do read every one.
-
That's how my screen looks when I'm not signed in....
If anyone else has this problem...please lets me know....
It's the change of temp.... Thankfully allergies are not one of my problems. Lorna, on the other hand, hacks, coughs, eyes water, sneezes and whatever else can happen with pollen. I just get pissed off because I have to wash the vehicle more often this time of year....yup...can see the pollen gather on the car and windshields.
-
Hey Fafnir....Can ya hear me now LOLOL..... Let me know if it works my friend.
-
Can sympathize easily since I found that rain is one of my asthma triggers :thud:
-
Asthma is a tricky devil. And it changes it's mind often as to what will set it off.... Have a couple of friends that complain about that all the time.

just got the one Luffie not no more

It's because TL came in the shadows to close the first rounds during the hour before you came here. He is very silent after so many days in a row to escape the nurse :tearlaugh:
-
I got another explanation in a PM but yours sounds more likely. :thumb_up:
-
LOL......I guess either explanation works Sir Knight.....but glad you got to vote....
Good Morning to all....tis Saturday and the skies are grey and the furnace is still running. Someday Spring will really be here.....LOL
I think I'm finally caught up in here....
Pass the coffee pot over here Fafnir.....It's going to be a LONG day.... :java: Ahhhhhhh
-
Indeed those PM explanations can be ever so inaccurate
-
LOL....well, this one worked and he got to vote.....which is a :grenade: :grenade: :woohoo: in my book....
-
Me, too. Just thankful it's not some Windows 10 "gift". And vote I did!
-
LOL...I hate those Window 10 Gifts also.... I shudder everytime I see "UPDATE AVAILIABLE" notice for Windows....I make sure my backup computer is working great before I do the update on the main computer :thud:
-
Gads, that sounds so nasty. Must have the luck of the Irish over in this corner as I have yet to run into a problem with W10. Had problems with upgrades, not so much with complete DLs. In any case, hope it all works out.
By the way, am SERIOIUSLY knocking on wood. And the echoes are really beginning to hurt!!!!!
-
To be fair (and I do try to be fair as at one point in my life I sold operating systems, too), it was a tactical problem rather than anything to do with the Windows 10.
Now my first Blue Screen of Death in six years was indeed a Windows 10 / Dell problem. But that one was more of a "just don''t do that" (writing to an SD card to put into a Raspberry Pi) as opposed to, say, trying to render an image.
Or were you talking about something further back in the thread? :lostme:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
It is the end of the day already ... damn
-
Indeed.. and one bird species I want is sitting in the very last set on the very last page on rendo lol

Good Evening! And thanks for all the nice replies folks. It was indeed a very nice surprise, as I was about to request a different doctor....no kidding there. We did spend half an hour talking through the various issues that make the deep digging necessary, and what makes it clear up. I accept that it can still happen in the future. One of the perils of MY diabetes. Anyway. Next month the Endo will give me an A1C verdict. I already know it will be better than last time, but how much is yet to show. :)
My latest game fix will end in a few days. DEFIANCE! will be shut down completely. Sigh. Not a bad game, will miss it. It is a MMO shooter. If anyone remembers the SciFy channels Defiance! With Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Jami Murray, Stephanie Leonidas and others, the TV series and MMO game started the same day. The series ended in less than 3 years. The game continues till the 29th this month. Then...kaput! I am buying all 2.6 seasons of the TV show. DID buy the two seasons of Westworld, with Anthony Hopkins. That was cool! With "Hosts" that were essentially high end androids. Defiance suffered from unimaginative writing after the 1st season. Now THAT is just sad! Sheesh!
-
I thought that W10 had disobeyed my registry hack. Turns out, it did not. But a ridiculously tiny STOOPID utility program decided it just had to restart the system after it updated itself with no warning at all. It no longer exists in my system and ASUS has heard more from me about it than they wanted to I am sure. But, nobody does that kinda thing without my express KNOWING permission. That shall never be implied.Fancy utility be damned.
-
HipShot, I had a little 86 Toyota Celica GTS coupe, drove that for 7 years, then gave it to eldest daughter. Too low for me to easily get up OUT of. Getting it was easy, just grab roof swing in and drop! The roof came up to my waist. Yeah, looked all kinds of funny when me and family went someplace. They all fall outta high up trucks, me, tallest of the bunch, climb out of the lowest car in the lot. IT went flying a few times too. Poor little thing. I was on I-45 N headed up to sons high school graduation. I was doing 70, just cruising easy. This white and beige flash zoomed by me doing over 100 easy. 5 mins later, I see him and 3 state trooper patrol cars with him pulled over. Heh! I slowed and eased into the far lane, give em plenty of room. I didn't laugh at him, by all rights, I should have been in his shoes many times, and was not.
-
My old Jeep. It's been a good car, and I do make sure to keep up with its maintenance. All machines need maintenance. No such thing as truly permanently lubed, specially with engines and transmissions and differentials! Parts wear out, it's simple. Replace em when needed. :)
-
Hi McG....I'm just about ready to head out but I'll be back in tomorrow for a bit. Got a busy day planned....Gonna be in the high 50's and no rain...want to get some of the yard stuff done...
Take care and have a great night....
And a good night to all of you others who are hanging around at the moment.
PS.... Like you McG...I thought the last update from windows was going to kill the computer but I'll give them credit...They pinpointed the utility that was bogging things down and after clearing it...all went well. I don't bother trying to figure anything out myself anymore...I don't get paid to think like they do LOLOLOL
On that note...Good Night To ALLLLLLLL
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready also a pitcher of cold milk. there is rye, rum, and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow roasted corn beef brisket with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good morning, Fafnir. Cold, wet and rainy this morning. I think it's going to be coffee by itself for the next few hours.
-
Morning..doing battle with the churchladies at the laundrymat..so coffee will have to wait lol.

Good morning guys!
It is the end of the day already ... damn
At my time yes, more than 11:00PM. For you, I always see a long end of day, like that no problem :iminnocent:
McG, do you know sometimes the docs prescribe honey on wounds? It's because bees do something when making the honey, and that is a help.

Glad to hear that. I flash SD cards all the time for my PIs on a Dell XPS. (i7 4700, Dell Motherboard 0KWVT8) and haven't had issues with either balenaEtcher or Win32DiskImager . Mind you I am still using 3s and haven't bought a RPi4 yet. This Dell is the only prebuilt box I have ever purchased since the days of VIC20 and C64. Both of which had holes drilled into the cases within minutes of unpacking when I got them home. Hard reset switch was the greatest thing. I have to say, this Dell XPS has never BSODed on it's own. The most stable machine I have ever owned.

Good Morning to all....
First off...McG...I like Defiance. It was a pretty cool series and you can still pick it up some of the episodes on YouTube. I remember when Faceoff had just introduced the creators of the show and some of the team members in the finals got to go on the set....That was cool.
Anyway....I'm here for a bit....Just got out of Daz....Thanks Aelin for the heads up.
I had all intentions of doing yard work but I'll be darn if I'm going to mow the grass in Gloves, Hat, Scarf and winter coat on LOL...It's not the temp that so bad...it's that windchill. The temp is in the low 40's but that wind brings it down to 30-32 degrees.....and I'm not going to get sick again if I can help it LOLOL...
And now to start my tour....

With temperatures like that out here in our part of the country we be wearing overcoats that is what our winter temperature are like maybe as low as 28 degrees but not as cold as it get up north. Glad I live down here even though some of our summer can be 115 + degrees.

I can always bundle up in the cold....but can only take so much off and be legal in the heat :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:

We don't have many Nudist Clubs or whatever they are called up here in Wisconsin "J"....It would be a waste of money...it would only be used 2 weeks out of the year...and even that is iffy :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
This coming from the one who tells me that what I call cold is t-shirt and shorts weather ... go figure
-
Nudist's clubs???? Definitely wouldn't work up there TL. Now somewhere in Tx . . . . that I could see. :ifonly:
McG: Got a similar tale you might get a kick out of. While in my 210 Datsun, I was on my way back from Ft Knox after undergoing training for the soon to be dropped M60A2 program. Heading back home to El Paso, I was pretty much flying at low altitude. Just chillin' out . . . . until I saw the cop on the side of the road. His blue lights had just come on and I'm thinking Oh S**t! This guy has me dead to rights.
Then, my guardian angel stepped in, "Not so fast slick. Watch this . . . !
And that was when we were BOTH passed by another speeder. This guy tore past so fast that I couldn't even identity the color, yet alone the model. In any case, cop passed me up like a dirty shirt to catch that guy. Rolled past shortly after - doing the speed limit - with the cop just writing tickets.
That was my lucky day. :woohoo:
-
"J".....we have folks up here who wear shorts all year round....I don't know whether they have no common sense or they are numb from the neck down :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: But I can tell you one thing...they won't go out in the heat unless it's to go to a air conditioned bar.....and when I say "Heat" I mean anything over 70 degrees....

Excellent end of day guys!

Have a great night Aelin....thanks for the great finds....

Just passing through. Scheduled power outage starts in a hour. Won't be back up for 9 hours. Still doing repairs from the last time power went out a month or so ago including rebuilding the back wall of the building where they broke through for the umbilicals last time. I'm gonna need take out Fafnir so as not to fade away from hunger throughout the day.
-
Good morning guys!

hands PDG a big platter filled with all kind of good things to eat and plenty coffee and rye to go with it

McG, do you know sometimes the docs prescribe honey on wounds? It's because bees do something when making the honey, and that is a help.
YES! I have half a carton of new tubes of Medi-Honey in my "medical stores" now. When the wounds are new, they use that topically and it really kick starts healing of the wounds. You don't feel a thing, it just WORKS. For wounds that are near healed out, they just use a small patch of calcium algenate (felt) to dry any leaking. Thanks for thinking of me, Aelin, and I am sure others will find it useful too!
-

Yup, us too here in the Tx panhandle. Odd weather, but then it IS April! Hm. It's already in the middle 70's right now at 10 am. Got a nice Dominoes Delivery order in...with one free pizza reward in there! HA!
-
Good Morning
I am wondering if Luffy cut the grass yesterday. Still trying to wake up. Looks like it snowed in the Mountains last night and cloud today in the valley just like yesterday. The low in about 50 today and the high will be 71 degrees F. That is about normal this time of year.

That was my lucky day. :woohoo:
Yeah man! LOL! That day in my little Celica GTS Coupe was especially lucky. I normally AM tooling along around 90+ in 5th at 2800 rpm. Yeah it would do 150 mph man. But, I got to wondering HOW good its mileage was driving the speed limit. Answer, near 40 mpg. Half that over 90. I was politely checking mileage that one time. Whew! Speed limit through there was 70 I think. I know it was half the speedometer! Man that car was fun. Weighed 3,200 lbs curb weight. My Grand Cherokee weighs 4,750 curb. When I get 20 mpg from it I am happy! The only thing not fun about that Celica was getting out of it. I liked it all shiny! :o)
OH, and it was scary getting it to stop when doing over 100 mph! The brakes were too dang small. :o\ But she'd sure get up there in a hurry! :DAND there weren't no CUP HOLDERS anywhere in it! Bad for early to work drives. Yeah maybe I was real ready to just hand it over to my daughter. Yep, musta been!
I remember the DATSUN B-210 "Bumblebee". A friend I stayed with had one. I would tune it up for her by ear. She'd tear out around the block in it, ease up to me "YOU're my mechanic now Mikie!" and whiz off to work. I liked that car, small yes, compared to the 65 Galaxie 500 I was driving for sure. But it was fun too. Just had a 1.4 liter 4 banger, standard 4 speed, regular ignition and two bbl carb. Easy to tune it up! And, it did a maximum of 70 to 75 mph on the freeway. No governor, just its gearing. Heh! Pretty little thing, fast back, bright yellow, black racing stripe around the back end. Black bumpers. Black interior. Could almost park it in my Fords trunk! LOL!

Hmmm, guess I"ll wait longer next time! (whoosh!)

'Mornin' Fafnir. Power is back and lunch yesterday was good. Thanks. Had to scramble to get my plants into the windows yesterday and pray they didn't freeze. Really old building. Single pane glass. Cold as crap out. Lost my first plants when the power went down last time due to cold and lack of light for three days. Way too cold out to put everything out on the balcony. But that is all water under the bridge. Power is back. Heating has returned. Timers are reset and all is good with the world. Coffee with a shot of 40 Creek and we'll be good to check the email.
-
hands PDG a steaming mug with a good shot of 40 Creek in it
-
Good morning guys!
I hope your plants are fine PDG.
Here we have started flowers to repel spiders, bedbugs, mosquitoes, flying-who-are-not-bees. But maybe 2 days after we had put them in the potting soil bam! Freeze during the nights, and the days were cold. So the beginning of their life was in the kitchen or another little room. They are now outside, and they love that. We are supposed to no more having frozen temperatures, I cross fingers.
-
Thanks Fafnir.
Aelin I only wish that the frost is finished for the year. Not likely here but fingers are crossed.
Just got back from Senior Shopping Hour. Yep we still have that here. I see that the folk in the homeless encampment on the corner are all set up for the cold. They have a 10x10 dining tent. Propane patio heaters and solar panels affixed to the fence. More and better camping gear than I have for crap sake.

Is the end part a statement of fact or a justification for acquiring a riding more. ;perplexed:
-
Why yes..... yes it is....

-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.....
I once contemplated getting a riding mower but I like exercise....though many times it certainly doesn't like me.
Just a couple of weeks ago my neighbor across the street was talking about getting a riding mower and wanted to know if I wanted to go half with him on the purchase.....I'm a silly person but not a stupid person. We all know how well those type of deals work..... :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Anyway....the easy part is the mowing. I hate the weedwhacker...hard on the back.....but love the results when all is done...
-
Oh my ribs hurt... FB fact checkers strike again... Picking on a simple cartoon I found amusing and shared lol. No it was not political just amusing.

Good Evening,
Been ordering parts to fix my nephew in law car and then made tortilla for the week. I think next week I will make baking soda biscuits.

The world is getting stranger by the day. Hopefully this insanity will end someday soon. I remember in the 60s people had a real reason to protest and make things equal, but now it seem as a vehicle to breakdown society and pit everyone against each other.

Morning...long drive to first job...as for the censor nuts. Just dont care any more.. Let them waste their time on such trivial matters. I am more worried about what they would do if they got a real life.
-
Indeed
-
Good morning guys!
I don't know for you, but here it's the people protesting in 60's who are messing a lot in the country. You know, they had slogans like "it's forbidden to forbid"; well now they love to forbid everything to everyone, except to their friends :shrug:
-
Good Morning,
Another day at the Attic! I think I will rummage around and see what I can find. Hope everyone is having the best day possible.

Hi M-C!
Take care to do not enter in collision with the nurse!

Good Night Aelin,
Have no fear, I used my cloak of invisibility while about in the Attic.

Weather here good. Just got a bit of rain today. Been threatening rain for the last three days ..... go figure.
On a weirder note. Just got Baja back from dealer. Running excellently. Good thing too. Day before yesterday, after returning from Temple VA, noticed smoke/steam escaping from under hood of Forrester. Let it cool a bit and checked in moring, intending to return to Temple. Checked radiator and found fluid level low. Filled and started engine paying special attention to the radiator. Now have serious leak. Good thing I got the Baja back. Ordered new radiator from Rock Auto. Be here on Monday, so I can get the Forrester back on the road as well. Nice to have a spare car .... for your car.
-
Nice to have a car at all Hip

Dreamer i hope the insurance people get you fixed up with a settlement on your car

-
Morning Fafnir.. Early start to the day .. What do I always start early lol.
-
Coffee is good. I'll have a double. Late night watching my hockey team lose.
Wish I still drove. They won't let me any more. Not enough range of movement they tell me. That was 4 years ago. I move better now but it;s too late to try and get it back. Got 2 cars. A 1969 Plymouth Barracuda in the underground here and a 1919 Baby Grand Chevrolet in a barn on PEI. That one may be in trouble as I haven't been back east in a number of years and I wouldn't put it past my kid sister to sell it without telling me. She has done such in the past. Estranged if you couldn't tell from that statement. Her husband broke a wood spoke on the driver's side rear wheel about 15 years ago when he took it out without permission and tried parallel parking and hit a hydrant he shouldn't have been parking near in the first place. Dweeb.

Good morning guys!
Sorry to hear your fav game is gone McG.
Back in time, one of my favorite games was Civilization, firstly on Playstation. Then when I had my Vista, a computer version was a birthday gift. "One mind to rule them all" :ifonly:
-
Not surprised McG.. If I remember right it was poking fun at the anyi vaccine people.
-
Oh Yeah. Did have some thunderboomers here in Killeen for a good bit. Nice sleeping weather, if you can ignore the giant flashbulbs the sky giants are using.
Nice that Aliene has the day off. Get to lay around all day,

Dreamer i hope the insurance people get you fixed up with a settlement on your car
They have finally come up with an amount that might just let me get something halfpie decent :thud:

Sorry to hear that Dreamer. Hoping you find the pearl between cars around.

PDG, you had a 69 'Cuda? I drooled over that one. Unfortunately, I was still in HS when it came out. Then went into the army. Damn the luck! Did manage to get a 72 Mustang hardtop for a good bit. Dumb me traded it in on that 75 Toyota Hilux pickemup truck that later got totalled.

Good Afternoon to all.....
A lot of good chatter in Ye Ole Coffee Shoppe.
Don't forget to keep us informed Dreamer as to what cars you looked at and what cars caught your eye..... Insurance folks are funny folks. Miss one payment and they say they'll have to restart you all over as a new account....which normally means more money with less coverage.....but when it's time to payout...they can rob you blind....and not blink an eye...
How did you fair with the storms Rad? Hope all stayed safe and no property damage.
Hi Aelin....just sent you some mailings.....
Mc-G... I've never played "On Line Games". They can end at any time where as owned games do not......
M-C....it's ok to break the rules every now and then....It's called being HUMAN....which Doctors seem to forget LOLOL.
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir.....:java: Ahhhhh.... Will give you a call later on if your home....
I think I mentioned my first car in here somewhere HS...LOL
And if I missed anyone...SORRY....
Now for another :java: and start my tour.....

TL, I bought Half Life 2 about 16 years ago. In a Game Stop store. To force Origin and another publisher from literally yanking the title he created right out from under him a second time, Gabe Newell created a way to foil the game PUBLISHERS. Which said companies had deluded themselves into believing they were little g 'gods' in our world. They are NOT. Yet they believe hard, and assure themselves that developers can absolutely NOT exist without publishers for support. Which will cost the developer their titles to their work. Ain't that just nifty. Gabe created a new distribution system that totally bypasses the PUBLISHERS. Valve Corp. is a developer, it developed Half-Life 2. And, (drum roll) STEAM. STEAM rolls right over the PUBLISHERS. Heh! IT's a distribution system that currently carries thousands of titles. The ONE thing I don't like about it is that Half-Life 2 cannot run without being run under Steam. Bleah. But Ive been doing that for the last 16 years TL. GLYPH/Trion did not WANT to do it Steams way. But to survive, HAD to. Thing is, without Steam, DEFIANCE! would not have run on its own. They tried that and utterly flopped. Meanwhile the TV series played on and the commercial spots stopped while the producers etc figured out some way to make the game work and gain popularity. Months go by and we find it kinda got slipped into Steam as well as being available at TRION WORLDS site. As FREE to play. You buy game Bits with real money and spend em in the game Store. That the game survived past the cancellation of the TV series surprised me. Many years later, it's still going. SO I tried it. Found some fun stuff to do in it, and nabbed their Gold Edition DLC pack. But, only through the Steam Wallet. Same for buying Bits. They didn't like that, but lived with it. So, the number of players dwindled to an unsustainable level. So, the guys at Trion got tired of messing with it, and ended it.
The PROBLEM is that its a Massively Multiplayer Online game only. No single player or campaign version. Fine. I will leave all their titles alone now. Again! ;)

I still have all my Serious Sam 1, 2 and 3 stuff installed and running. Then there are all four of my QUAKES. Half Life and Half Life 2. Unreal. And the grand old standby....Solitaire! LOL!

Hi Ya Mc-G
I stick with my console games. I buy what games I like and I play so seldom of late that it takes at least 4 or 5 years to complete one game LOL. I've got about 4 Wii U games that haven't even been opened yet...I LOVE Role Playing Games....plus Bowling with the Wii U......but Zelda is my favorite of Favorites...got ALL of them.....
As mentioned somewhere in here....my Nephew in Newport LOVES gaming and made/sold characters for the games he played...until his Girlfriend made him get a REAL JOB :tearlaugh: But one of his characters he sold for $140 :thud:
-
Have a great night Aelin.....See you sometime in the morn....Got to take the Daughter in for a covid test since she's having a colonoscopy on Monday....Better her then me....be another 7 years before I need one....And that would be the one time in my life where I'd be looking forward to it....it means I'm still ALIVE :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
A few more freebies to collect and then I'll be out of here. Lorna talked me into getting us dinner to go tonight from Burger King. Only time I go there is for their Fish Sandwiches which we both love and their Shakes which beat McD's and then some.
-
I am fine the people north of me got Orange sized hail so they are not doing so well.

PDG, you had a 69 'Cuda? I drooled over that one. Unfortunately, I was still in HS when it came out. Then went into the army. Damn the luck! Did manage to get a 72 Mustang hardtop for a good bit. Dumb me traded it in on that 75 Toyota Hilux pickemup truck that later got totalled.
Not a 'Cuda. Barracuda. '69 fastback. 'Cuda had yet to be branded. The Barracuda was a rebranded Valiant. The chrome trim along the base of the rear window will tell you if it was an American made or Canadian made. The Canadian car has a wide chrome strip left over from the Valiant. The American version doesn't have this wide chrome piece in an effort to hide the lineage. It also makes replacing the rear glass more expensive. Same rear windshield on both but the gap on the US cars leads to rusting out of the rear deck. On the Canadian cars they have a rubber spacer between the inner and outer fender walls over the front tires that traps the road salt and rots the top of the fenders. All Mopar with unibody from this era have this issue. The car is still parked in my underground here. Block is drained and packed. Once a year I sneak it out for a tour. It hasn't had tags since '97 and didn't go out last summer due to pandemic restrictions. Hard to hide a green car amongst the crowd these days. Especially one with white racing stripes. They don't seem to make many green cars anymore and "classic cars" are more then rare up here due to the salt. Just do an image search for '69 Valiant fastback. The Duster was what the Valiant ultimately became and the 'Cuda was the new design in '70 to reflect the better selling Roadrunner. Had one of them too at one time. Drove Mopar all my life with a Ford truck and a convertible Impala thrown in for a lark.
The 1919 Baby Grand Chevrolet, the first of the FB models; was my old man's first car. I remember as a kid he and my grandfather used to strip it down every Saturday, clean and lubricate everything. Everything; and put it back together again every Sunday.

Hey PDG, I remember getting interested in CARS! when a MAD Magazine had a cool funny on the 69 "HEMI Under Glass" bass-ackward Barracuda, which they DID coin/abbreviate to just 'CUDA! Yes, MAD Magazine's writers did that! That was the comic version where the rear was the front, the big hairy arm stuck out the roof with the HURST shifter and the side pipes belched fireballs. Black n White inked only of course. But it was YOUR Barracuda that I found so cool, and yeah plenty of folks noticed the semblance to the Valiant. Even mentioned that in that chapter of the comic :D
-
Good morning guys!
It's a rainy day for the labor day here. Like almost each year :tearlaugh:
-
I was mostly a FORD man, most of my early life. My first car, that *I* bought with my own cash money I was paid off that first patrol, was a 1965 Galaxie 500. White top over metallic Mint Green body. 4 door, 4 bbl carb, dual exhaust, 352 ci split head big block, cast iron Cruiseamatic tranny. Basically your run of the mill family car of the day. But it was MY car! I bought a set of chrome reverse rims, 6" x 15" normal on front, 10"
x 15" on back and a lovely new set of Firestone all-weather tires all around. Put nice looking peel n stick carpet tiles on the sun deck back of rear seat. Armor All'ed the interior real good. Slapped ye olde Charlie Golf bumper stickers with active numbers front n rear. So I could drive onto military bases. And keep it in the locked parking lot on base when we were on patrol. I tell ya, I truly miss the roominess of those old cars. The full width bench seats! Almost a motel room on wheels! I drove it from East Coast to Houston and back several times. It ended up in a junk yard in Baltimore. Then I flew home when I got out. Ya don't see too many 65's around these days.

I have to apologize to Hipshot. It was brought to my attention that in the States, they did indeed use the 'Cuda moniker on notchback Barracudas in 1969. Don't know that particular issue of Mad though I read a whole heck of a lot of 'em. Cracked was another one I read a lot of back then.

My mom swore that her Fairlane 500 was the best piece of machinery ever made. She bought 2 replacements over the years till the vehicle went out of production. She swapped to a '71 Caddy and drove that till she passed in the early '80's.
Look at the back window of the Barracuda. The space under it had a divider which could be opened up to the trunk and the back seat folds down opening up a space you can put a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Used to lay a sleeping bag in it and back into drive-in movies. Lay flat with your "friend" to "watch" the film. Got kicked out one night because the car was facing the wrong way. Fools.
-
Good Morning to all......
A windy windy day here....the birds and squirrels are wearing safety harnesses when on the trees.....
In here for a short while to get my winner announced and then will be back after Lorna is done with her appointments.
And Yup McG....Games are just that....Games.....Something to pass the time....no worries about winning or loosing...just enjoying...
And now to get started...with :java: in hand.....
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin....I'm still posting items ..... been busy battening down the hatches around here....:thud:
-
Accepted, PDG. I also remembered the MAD and Cracked comics. Hell, me and my friends use to call it the "Baccaruda", rather than the Barracuda. Either way, it was a nice set of wheels. Loved it. Still wasn't able to get one. None in area whilst transferring to Ft Bliss from Korea. Had to settle for Datsun. Cheaper, by the way. I guess all of the 'Cudas that had around headed for Cali. Oh well.
-
mornin Nosh i hope the laundrymat battle with the church ladies goes in your favor and i hope everyone has a great day filled with many blessings
-
it's a good morning coffee cocoa and tea are ready with rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be seafood gumbo served over rice
-
Mine was bought new off the lot about 5 or 6 miles from here. It's been from coast to coast and both sides of the border depending upon where I lived at the time. The Chrysler dealership is still there but it's the grandson of the original owner who has it and it's now a Ram Truck dealership. Numbers matching car (obviously) but never going to be worth much. I was always hoping it might be a retirement bonus after seeing how much they can sell for. $440,000 at auction. They are really worth about 30 to 40 thou US. and it you want one bad enough there are two for sale at the Barret-Jackson in Vegas next month. One fastback and a notchback with the "Mod Pack". Have deep pockets for that one though.
There was a radio add that called it the baccaruda if my tired old brain is firing on all cylanders this am.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and PDG. One never knows what he will encounter in the coffee shop. Cars! This place is so great!
I'll go back and read this afternoon what happened with Dreamer and Noshoba (their cars, silly!).
-
Morning Fafnir.. No church ladies battles today..working..finishing off a 9g + job...was only given 3 days for. Working solo so commission is 2700+. Worth the pain lol. Also why I havent been on much.
-
I noted also they had 4 lug 14" rims, and itty bitty drum brakes. On the Valiant they did. 64.5 Mustang had 4 lug wheels too. I was too young and broke to get one of those "nice" cars man. I had to settle with old grandpa used cars. Hayfield Specials we called em. You remember the type, drive by some ol hayfields and see a row of cars and trucks maybe not far from a barn shed. Stop and try to beg one off the owner. Sometimes if he liked the story you'd get one! I always had to pay for mine though. That's me, day late and dollar short! By what I am seeing today, we didn't have squat. It's nothing to see a car on the street pumping out over 1000 horses. And back when C-Altered was running hard solid 10's through the traps we thought we was fast. They are getting 8's and 9's in Mom n Pop cars on the street now!BUT, hey, I remember drooling over the '71 HEMI Cudas, and wishing I was one of those rich kids! 72 I graduated high school, and a month later was in boot camp, sweating out over a ruptured abscess and dreading the thought of Viet Nam. Graduated Basic top of company and got my school, 6 months later graduated 2nd and got a Secretary Class Cutter in Virginia. Needs of Service got me and a buddy switched out in situ, he kept my ship and I kept his. They were both great Ladies! They kept on going out, and bringing us home. So, 9 months after enlisting, I bought my first "On My OWN!" car. Been a LOT of em to get to old Yeep 16 years ago. She's still bringing me home man. I'd had it a year in this pic. I was getting it washed and waxed every two weeks whether it needed it or not. Got the interior Armor All'ed too. It has been an outstanding car. Still, I do the wishful thinking bit now and then. But I daydream of a '65 Galaxie 500 two door with 390 and 4 speed overdrive automatic tranny. And a full quiet exhaust, all original dash instruments, and tuck n rolled leather on full bench seats!
-
Noshoba, take it ez on the pizzas man! :woohoo:
-
Good morning guys!
We were supposed to have a temporary flea market today in town. City Hall site confirmed it always yesterday... And nobody said in fact it was cancelled. Nope, you had to go until there to see there was nothing at all :thud:
-
McG lots of stock on the block cars pump out more horsepower than we ever did back in the '50s, '60s, and very early '70s. Crate engines for most any make easily put out 750 or 800 bhp these days. Unheard of numbers when I was a kid. Lots of older vehicles never survived their first wreck which came quite quickly by today's standard. Fuel prices and safety concerns.
Other side of the pond did a way better job of modernization in the automobile industry. Had a '79 Sapporo (Plymouth branded Mitsubishi) that went like mad stink. Almost 200 hp in a 4 cylinder. Better built car than the '81 Dodge 024. That thing was the worst piece of crap I've ever owned. Didn't want the Volkswagen inline 4 they came with and waited to get the '81 with the Chrysler engine. 84 hp. Very disappointing. No wonder they turned it into the base for a compact pickup. It ensured that no one would ever buy one. How many Rampages or Scamps do you see around?
I traded that piece of crap in on a Chrysler K Car. Put it on it's roof in a snowstorm. Kicked the dents out of the roof after the tow righted her and sold it about 6 months later for a little over a grand. Bought the Ford Pickup and that was the last thing I regularly drove.

Good morning guys!

I haven't seen a flea market in years. Mind you I haven't seen a flea circus in longer. :(ROFLMAO:
-
Actually McG plan to pay off truck loan...needs before wants.
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Tis a beautiful Sunday and I'm always late getting in here on Sundays....Always got something going on LOL...
That's a healthy commission for sure Noshoba... A big WOOOHOOO to YOU.... :grenade:
Since you mentioned Flea Market Aelin, I was wondering if our Farmers Market was going to be cancelled on their first Market Day of the year due to the high winds....but nope, they had some vendors their selling from their trucka and booths....Not many though...most put up tents but no tents would withstand the winds of yesterday especially since they are not staked down...The city doesn't allow that on their paved roads...so they typically sand bag then down....
Anyway....Good Morning Sir Knight....and yup...conversations are always different in the Coffee Shoppe....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...Wooohooo....
And now to take a tour....
-
That's most mysterious, Aelin. I wonder what happened?
TL, and I'm glad of it. I never know what I'm going to find and that's the way I like it! I hope your busy morning was productive.
-
I think only somebody didn't do his/her job by not telling it was cancelled :shrug:
Well, that makes more money for the monthly clearance sale by an association; where I found 4 of the 7 books of a collection. Unfortunately, the 3 last books don't seem to be between their hands. Probably somebody who bought only a part of the collection.
It's interesting to see in 60's/70's the historian people had the mind more opened than those of now.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Sunday Morning is a busy time for sure Sir Knight.....but it's a "FUN" busy so I don't mind it....
And yes...always something interesting going on in The Coffee Shoppe.....
Right now I'm trying to keep Oz out of my bowl of grapes...He doesn't eat the grapes but LOVES to play with the stems.... LOL
-
Have a great night Aelin......I'm heading out shortly also
-
Definitely. Always a good time here in the Attic. My first "bought it with my own money car" wasn't actually mine. I actually bought it for me mum. She was living in Syracuse, NY - city where I was born - and I didn't want her spending the winter there, and neither did she. So I picked up a ? Olds Vista Cruiser wagon and me, brother and Mum headed south to Las Cruces NM. No idea what happened to it after I reported in to Ft Knox. WHile there I bought MY first car. 72 Mustang hardtop. Later traded it in on Toyota Hilux wagon. I was soon to report to Germany so I left it there in my bother's care. You know the story after that.
-
Sounds like all of you lot had a better day then I ... double checking and adding reference notes for my 100 question final exam for the kiddies.
-
As that old Chinese Saying goes....."Better you then me"
Not sure if it's a old saying.....
Not even sure if it's Chinese.....
But is certainly sums things up quickly...... :woohoo: :grenade:
-
Indeed and I am sure that my students will thank you if they could :thud:
-
I'd give them all an "A" and tell them they now have to move to another State to seek work...
-
I'd give them all an "A" and tell them they now have to move to another State to seek work...
Who said I was that nice ... I'll muderilze them
-
:tearlaugh: Yup.......you would and then some ....... :(DEVILISH):
-
You earn your grade in my class I do not give them away ... just saying
-
Home at last..3 of these in 4 days all windows and concrete washed.
-
WOW and WOW and might I add :thud:
-
Grins.. I like outworking the Millennials and their wannabes... Considering the higher ups want pool boys.. Yes did those all solo no helper.
-
Home at last..3 of these in 4 days all windows and concrete washed.
Mein Gott in Himmel ... or my giddy aunt .... that is one hell of a lot of work
-
And here I am thinking it's a great thing that I mowed the yard.....in one day.....LOLOL
-
Why I havent been posting anything..lol.
I mean I got over my need to be off before happy hour a long time ago.
Also proving a point...
-
Like you...I'm out of here more then in here of late....to much to do and so little time before it snows again :tearlaugh:
-
Morning Fafnir.. No church ladies battles today..working..finishing off a 9g + job...was only given 3 days for. Working solo so commission is 2700+. Worth the pain lol. Also why I havent been on much.
And I did read this when I got in here .......
-
Yeah busy time of year for us... But have been working on something slowly . Posing everything been a beast.
Do plan to treat myself to one thing if still on sale.. new version of silo since sketch up finally died on me.
-
I do try not to work Sundays but if I want to get paid for my pain. So needed to finish it.
-
Oh btw J thats why I havent contacted Mary with my choices yet..too tired to look.
-
:lostme: When I was Young and Dumb I mowed a football Field with an 18 inch mower! o.O Was a long day! :thud:
-
And with the work you just did....you should treat yourself....
Relax and enjoy......
-
:lostme: When I was Young and Dumb I mowed a football Field with an 18 inch mower! o.O Was a long day!ay! :thud:
Even Forrest Gump didn't do that LOL..... I bet every muscle in your body was cursing you :tearlaugh:
-
Hope all have a great night.....Got a long day tomorrow playing taxi driver for the Daughter. All sort of appointments....
But while she's there....I'm going to visit our Farm and Fleet Store at it's new location. I think I mentioned that our Shopko closed down about 4 years ago and the store has remained empty...and it's a huge store....
Farm and Fleet store here in Monroe was a CRAMPED store but a store that is required since 70% of the folks that call Green County home are Farmers and Farm and Fleet carries ALL farming supplies...
But it also caters to the general public. I purchased my Outdoor grill and two mowers there along with Chainsaws, rakes, clippers, etc etc etc...
We have a Walmart that is cheaper in price...but when it comes to yardwork..quality is what I prefer...
-
Be well TL...and yes need a new modeling program and seems ok. Sketchup got way too pricey and that needed to be online to use it is BS.
-
And here I thought that just getting up in the morning was a major accomplishment!!!!!!
-
Home at last..3 of these in 4 days all windows and concrete washed.
Nice looking building, and that is a LOT of glass. Specially for a solo job. Great work man! :)
-
Like you...I'm out of here more then in here of late....to much to do and so little time before it snows again :tearlaugh:
I realize where you are, you could get more snow even into June. But it's May now, and I think it's Next Winter! for the next snow for us. Heh! In 2007 my sis sent me a pic of the last snow they got that year. 2 1/2 feet in MAY. Two days of snowfall! But, comes a point ya have to ease off the work man. Take care of yourself.
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with BBQ beans, coleslaw, tater wedges, hushpuppies, and fresh baked sourdough bread.
-
Morning...time for another round. Starting look like no rest for the weary... Might have to head to North Carolina next Sunday lol.
-
That breakfast sure sounds GOOD there, Fafnir! But, just a COFFEE, pleeze! :thud:
I went to jump outta bed running, talking me into a good mood and all. The back said Oh No Ya Don'T! So I spend 10 mins carefully getting feet on floor underneath old butt. Shuffle to kitchen for COFFEE!
Helluva Life, ain't it ?!!!?
-
Good morning guys!
We have suddenly works - again :sure: - in the building complex. No word to warn us. Not sure to stay on web :sigh: See you later.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Have a good rest, Aelin. I hope that the workers didn't upset things too much.
-
Have a good night all. Now having the thunderboomers lull me into a state of relaxation before I have to pick up Aliene from work.
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled pork chops with all the trimmings
-
Morning ...about to take a shotgun to Rendo cart system since my card is triggering a fraud filter..
-
Ok lets add insult to injury and they double charged my card anyway.
-
I used it yesterday for a couple little things, it seemed to work fine for me. THAT time. :woohoo:
-
So did I since I generally use my tip money for purchases there and at Daz. But twice in less than a month is getting to be annoying.
-
Ah! 1971S is having a sale through today. Some things seem exempt though.
-
Good morning guys!
Have a good rest, Aelin. I hope that the workers didn't upset things too much.
Well hamsters tried to dig a lot to hide. Between noise and vibrations, even in nature they would be in trouble. Having someone near calmed them a little.
Cats? Weren't so upset fortunately.
Unfortunately, there were issues on Rendo through the years for some customers. It's cyclic.
And by the other way, Daz had troubles with Paypal.
I hope your problems will find quickly a good end Noshoba.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Yesterday was a very busy day so I didn't even get on the puter till late last night...just to check E Mails.... Didn't miss it much either LOLOLOL
But I do get upset when I can't get a cup of Fafnirs Coffee....so here goes :java: Ahhhhhh
We FINALLY got rain last night. We are still in a severe draught status. Didn't get what we needed for rainfall but every little bit counts.
Morning Aelin....Just answered you PM.....I'll work on that today for you....
And now to check out the rest of the place to see what I missed....
-

Excellent end of day guys!
-
You're doing all the hard work...I should be saying THANK YOU to you.... Agent will be happy I'm sure....
-
Greetings all, and to all a goodnight. Been a long day. Got up late, then had to deal with daughter, Not something that I would wish on my worst enemy. After dropping her off at work, took Connie and had a quiet dinner, then just rode around a bit chillin' out. Now back on computer and attempting to work on manuscript for another attempt at submission. Editing it down just a bit. Flow starting to get much better. Especially after I read the material to myself ... or Connie. Used to do that a lot when I originally started writing.
-
Rain. Got some here too. Nice stuff that, I'd forgotten what it feels like to have cold water plopping all over ya while checking the mail or going to the car. Felt pretty good :)
-
You're doing all the hard work...I should be saying THANK YOU to you.... Agent will be happy I'm sure....
Um?

Cinco de Mayo, in Spanish, is May the Fifth in English. This date commemorates the Battle of La Puebla, a town outside modern Mexico City, Mexico. Being as all of Texas and large parts of 4 other US States were at that time part of Mexico; it is celebrated here as well. It marks when Mexicans stood to throw off the yoke of foreign domination.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to come with not funny news.
I don't know if each of you know Eblank. She is a kind person, sharing freebies, like on our AFZ (http://freezone.thefantasiesattic.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=167) . Yet, she liked to share a lot on Sharecg, mainly textures for outfits. Those last times, many for Most Digital Creation freebies.
Those last 24 hours, she was purely and simply kicked off from Sharecg. Her crime? She is suspected to make free advertising for herself. And they dared to talk about poor quality images. I leave you to be judge about the "poor quality" she does, by looking in our gallery (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/profile.php?uid=1338)
Even if I didn't talk of her freebies regularly those last times, what I saw of her thumbnails for freebies was just art like any promo render. Art.
But that means all her linked freebies are no more available in our topics. And the same when they are linked on the Poser Daz Wikia.

I should have dialed one and messed with them big time, starting with "what was in the package and then say damn it they got it wrong again"
:tearlaugh:
I'd be tempted to tell them to relay this message to the people they claim to have the package from:
"Please let them know I am displeased because they got my nonexistent order wrong yet again, and I want all the money I never paid back!" Wonder how that would bake their noodles?!
-
That is a pretty good reply also
-
Excellent end of day
-
I like the one where you say . . . "Dammit, they got it wrong again!!!!" Wonder what they'd say if you wanted to change your order . . . or perhaps order something different. "Tell them I need thirty AKs 10 MP5 and a good slingshot!" If not, I want a refund.
-
:lostme: Can We host EBlanks' stuff or is that asking too much of our system?
-
Remember it and made many in my Bartending Days....WAY WAY WAY Back When....
Yeah me too! LOL! For the last one I had that is!
-
I remember eBlanks name, didn't know from where. There are some people that create LOTS of great stuff, that are given grief just because they DO make lots of stuff. Like Syltermermaid (Ute) at Rendo. Like Birdman over at ShareCG. There are simply folks who just have to make a stink about something. And tearing down a nice person seems to make them feel good about themselves. Too bad.
The ShareCG "moderators" would have done that to eBlank if just one person was being a total jerk and spreading ugly rumors. They cannot afford bad advertising. It's easier to get rid of the target than deal with it honestly.
-
Oh, right, well happily Birdman didn't let his heckler faze him at all. Dave Swan is still making models and uploading them to ShareCG!

eBlank99 is a member of PFDLives, and a very good online friend. She is active when it comes to making textures for all kinds of clothing for many different figures. She does a very good job at it, and has never asked for money for her textures. Some of the outfits she makes textures for are sold at various sites, but none of them are hers to sell; rather she is just making freebie textures for them.
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning for later on there will be steak and king crab legs with corn on the cob and tater wedges
-
Mornin Fafnir. I'll be after them wedges in a bit.
Bad deal with Erika. I haven't been to share in a very long time and removed my account from PFDLives so this is the first I've heard. Let her know she has my sympathy and support Agent. Erika is good people.
-
Good morning guys!
Rad, it's to Eblank to decide what she wants to do now. If she always want to host her former posted freebies.
Yeah McG, for Birdman I saw one of his models recently, and when you said that I had to check. I wouldn't be surprised to see him disappearing suddenly because of Sharecg alas.
While there is someone putting freebies on Sharecg on who I have doubts, because he has stolen freebies from others years ago, and it was on Sharecg that all the mess arrived.
I think really the problem of Sharecg is they just can't have as good products as they hoped when they opened the possibility to sell.
They also messed with Semicharm few years ago. You can always see some explanations on his profil, still on Sharecg

Yes she is. I love her especially, because she was the first at PFDLives that showed me how to navigate the site. She was patient and very informative. Now after all these years of seeing her texture work, and benefitting from many of her products in my own work, to see her going through this is disheartening for her sake. She never deserved to be treated this way. She's not done anything wrong, yet they insist that she has.
That kind of treatment toward their users could kill ShareCG! Don't they realize they are hurting their own business? If they are so worried about competitor sites, their biggest one is Renderosity, as a big chunk of the freebies available there are also available at Renderosity. I do not see this with other sites hosting content for vendors, and I visit lots of them.
Hmm. I have only one product pack there that I uploaded for others to grab and use. It would be so easy for me to pull the product pack and move it to one of the other sites ShareCG is so worried about. If I decide to do that, I'll also be terminating my account there. I don't like associating with unreasonable, inflexible, and overbearing people. The kind of people that think they are the only ones that are right. If I get into it with one, I do everything I can to find the truth, and throw it in their faces. That said, I would prefer to stay out of it; but I don't like seeing my friends treated that way, and I will step up to help my friends against any that do. This thing though is much different from previous ones I have been involved in. I need to know how best to proceed.
-
I have an account on Sharecg only to take freebies. I follow nobody, comment rarely (I tried to do more last years), and I even don't use my nickname :shrug:
I just care about what job creators do. You can see great works. And sometimes there are people doing maybe not the greatest freebies, but they do them with their hearts, and it's all which count.
Everywhere the commercial common sense seems to be lost. Internet or daily life.
On FA/FRM we aren't perfect, but we try our best to compose with other sites. After all, without them, we couldn't exist. And on FRM, not only we tell about the asked basis for textures, but we are trying to link every base when they always exist around.
It's just impossible for a site selling 3D nowadays to impose a complete blackout on the challengers.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin. As for ShareCG dont go on there much anymore since they went to selling.
-
Same here. Though I do check for good freebies. Seems like most of those items sold on ShareCG are from Vanishing Point. As for myself, rather go there for the goodies
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be Tacos with all the goodies for makin them your way
-
Sounds good Fafnir, might grab a night cap while I wait for my Feline lord and master to come in for the night
-
Good morning guys!

I think you reach a point about the most on sale products by only one vendor. If that isn't a free advertising from their part :shrug:
Sounds good Fafnir, might grab a night cap while I wait for my Feline lord and master to come in for the night
Did he is back since?
-
Good Morning to all.....
Had a busy day yesterday...Figured I had better get the grocery shopping and other shopping done while I still had help LOL.
I had to take the Daughter up to Janesville for her second Covid Shot. Her first one didn't bother her at all but hearing some of the reports on the second one...I didn't want to take any chances and NOT have help hauling in the bags and putting stuff away....
Yes, I know....a one sided decision on my part but I consider it a "Parent Privilege"
So far she's doing great so that is good.
Can you believe we will have below freezing temperatures the next couple of mornings....and highs in the lower 40's..... Good thing my laziness forewarned me not to do any flower planting this early... :overthefence:
And now to see what is what and why is where and when....with :java: in hand
-
I don't like the fact that Share is selling....That's not sharing......it's profiting....and only a FEW have jumped on the boat to sell. I unfollowed them...even if they occasionally put up freebies....
Sad that they are not loyal to those who have been loyal to them...but that's the way of the world it seems... "All for one and None for All"
But SUCH IS LIFE...and we move on. I'm sure those folks with Share woes will find ways to get their products to others....
Now to grab a :java: and see what else is new...
-
Yeah buddy.
Oh I am looking for a good DEFIANCE! replacement. Trion Worlds / Glyph shut it down April 29. Sigh. So I pick up ARMA3 for a song, and got Serious Sam 4 Deluxe collection on sale. And, can ya believe this, alone with the new ZBrush 2021.6.4 update at 1.3 gigs, then a total of 86 gigs for those two games, I got it all through my phone at 2.3 to 4.6 MBps. That's a lot of files man! But, I got it all. Whew! Now to go see if those games are any fun to play :)
:woohoo: :ifonly: :grenade:
-
:lostme: Some people like Destiny 2 on Steam.

Yeah buddy.

Have a good night

She's a cutie alright and knows it. She was relaxed until I decided I wasn't happy with her chewing my fine silk scarf and went to rescue it. There were words said
-
Have a great night Aelin....see you in the morn.....
-
Lol they do like to know whats going on dont they?
-
absolutely....even if the picture came out the wrong way....A click on the picture will show his true form LOLOLOL
-
And yes, I've learned how to type with a cat in the lap :thud:
-
They do indeed. Connie's black cat Majik can be a real pain. Likes to sleep in the bed until he thinks its time to get fed. Then he wakes her up by walking on her hair. Either that or crying at a VERY loud volume. Luckily, my little pup knows waht time to be fed - usually 'round 7 in the evening. No drama, just rears up on my leg and give's me the LOOK that says FEED ME, my HUMAN!
-
And yes, I've learned how to type with a cat in the lap :thud:
Lol. Kitt is not one for laps but she will get on the desk and sit on the mouse or lay on the keyboard. Not much you can do then lol.
Right now she is across the room on the window sill watching the neighbors
-

Lol yeah Kitt has a tiny kitten mew but she has learnt about acoustics. Sit in the bathroom or loo and yell. The echo and extra volume is amazing
-

Ya SEE that?! See THAT! It gotta be a thing with CATS. They just GOT to get tween you and your keyboard! Mine do that too. And Tattoo absolutely OWNS my lap whenever (and wherever) I sit down. He even hisses to warn away the nurses and Moggie! "MY lap! I gots DIBBS!" :tearlaugh: :psycho:
-
Hey TL, surely that isn't OZ! Too many colors! And I can see the current date right on your monitor. Who is the noob?!
-

Kitt just claimed the jacket I took off, too bad if I am now cold and want it back
-
LOL! That's a cat for ya! :woohoo: :peek: But we love em. Sometimes, they can behave in so human a way. Your Kitt is just gawgeous! One of the prettiest tri-colors around.
-
I got to thinking about it, and gee whillikers, if I can drop hundreds of $$$ a year on Content for Poser, then what's wrong with me dropping say $100 on a collection of games and content?! NUTHIN! LOL! So Arma3 is going to take some getting used to. I CAN play it single player in various ways, and also multiplayer in several ways. Cool. I will enjoy the realism in this one. Later though. I wanna check out Serious Sam 4 a bit, see if it's as good as Serious Sam 3: BFE is. IT *IS* !!!! And then some! Also got a Resident Evil 3 Racoon City DEMO to check out. But looks like my DEFIANCE! fix will be SS4 :o)
Also, even though ALL the games and Steams ratings put the entire system through a wringer, BadMoonRYZEN comes out shining. ASUS Nvidia TUF Gaming GTX 1560 S 4gig GDDR6 card is whooping up on all the games. Even when the reviewers and devs poo poo on this generation of card. IT SHINES with maxed or very high quality settings. And after two full hours of Serious Sam 4 with 2560 x 1440 res full screen, neither the GPU, Chipset nor CPU got more than five degrees warmer than the system doing ez work stuff like posting a message here. Heh! Yeh, I know, SOME of the things I do and enjoy with my own system(s) just can't be recommended for the majority of User/Owners out there. I am an Electrician/Mechanic, with strong leanings toward Digital Electronics. And I have nearly 40 years experience in all this now. And I enjoy "The Build". Putting all the parts I've cobbled together to make a sooper dooper machine. Like, um, BadMoonRYZEN! It's FUN!
My video card. I researched the whole system for about a month before buying anything. I built it with just 32 gigs system RAM and using the venerable Old Workhorse, the BFG 8800GTX OC 768meg card. I was used to dealing with its heating up issues and blowing out several power supply units for many years. But suddenly, I am getting messages from game devs that my beloved 8800GTX is too old and won't work with their game. GAH! I never even thought that was possible! But, it happened, sadly. So right after my July 1 Birthday Startup, I started researching video cards. Like, what's so darn special about this "RTX" stuff. Nothing. Just more newer faster better badder tech and even more integration scaling on die. Cramming ever more transistors into the same space, basically. What that gave us is greater power efficiency; do more, do it faster, and stay cooler with less power drain. Ok. So, the maker of the motherboard I'm using in the machine also has a matching video card. But still a GTX, not the even more advanced RTX. BUT, it's like more than $300 less at just $188.95! Got my other 32 gigs of system RAM with some of the savings! I was happily surprised by the quality of the card, and its seriously powerful functionality. In short, what I built to be a serious modeling and Render Beast turns out to be a seriously great Game Box too! I love it when a plan comes together and it all works great. Research your build first folks! You won't regret that on Build It Day!
-
Oh, Good Morning ATTIC! :woohoo:
-
Morning McG..
-
Good morning guys!
And yes, I've learned how to type with a cat in the lap :thud:
With a cat in laps, I often nee dto do things requiering only the mouse. I obtain otherwise dark looks, and one of the cats can beat if not happy at all :thud:
Loud meows came from the other one, but only when I have to cut the wet food time the evenings, when she is back to her boulimic moments.
Hips, when I was younger we had a doggie, able to turn around when it was his dinner time. Slowly, then more and more faster to each turn until a real race :tearlaugh: With cats wondering what happened. In rare occasions, he asked with his voice... because generally he used it during our dinner and lunch times :tearlaugh: No barkings, just sounds.

Aelin; there is someone on Hivewire3d looking for you or DA in regards to a PFDLives texture challenge outfit by sanbie. I don't have an account over at pfd any longer so I'll try to give you a heads up here.

And good morning to the rest of you.

Ok, thank you, I'll try to see that.
The TC outfits were reinstalled the last 3 days. All of them, except maybe 2 templates, but maybe they are hidden in a location I didn't find yet :psycho:
-
Hey TL, surely that isn't OZ! Too many colors! And I can see the current date right on your monitor. Who is the noob?!
Yup...that's Oz McG....Oz is shedding his winter coat and as mentioned.....Lorna brushes him EVERYDAY..... :thud:
-
Good Morning to all....a very busy morning so far and I foresee a very busy day. So on that note....I'll grab my :java: and get started.... :woohoo:
-
I am delighted that IS Oz, and that he is one totally spoiled kitty cat! :woohoo:

Ok, thank you, I'll try to see that.

so now I just realized I checked glucose at 5:33am, took my insulin, then got to ordering stuff. Meds, then over to Walmart to get groceries, picked the 10am-11am pickup time slot, played a while on Serious Sam 4, then at 5 to 10 got a text from Walmart my order is ready to pickup. AWRIGHT! Headed out the door...did anyone notice I'd not mentioned eating anything? Forgot to do that part. Get back, get everything in to the kitchen, get all stowed away, noted I was short 4 cups of Nissin instant soup, check receipt, nope they only had 2 of this flavor. ok, so all is sorted. OH! check glucose again, uh oh, forgot FOOD while ago, shaking like a dog [CENSORED] peach pits! 90. Hey that ain't bad! But it is dropping is why I get those shakes. Took adjusted dose insulin, prepared a quick lunch. Really a brunch! Heh!
Can ya believe they showed ME a piccy of their prize CHEESECAKE ?!?@#?#$?! ME! Put two of em right in the cart! Ha! No? That ain't gonna teach em a thing huh? Oh well, a slice of the first one is sure tasting great right now. Turned out one of those "cakes" was just two thin slices. SO that was desert.
:(DEVILISH): Just now. :gremlin: :woohoo: :thud: :ifonly: :grenade: Yes TL they are SMALL slices too, only a 9" cake cut to 8 slices. Got a freezer full of veggies again too. Grocery shopping with me fingers doing all the walking on a 32" monitor sure is enjoyable right now too! LOL!
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Yepper Aelin. Never was that much of a cat person. I'd rather leave that up to Connie. I'll take my puppies. My little Princess is really a little winner. Acts like a real lady when it comes to feeding time. The only timne she barks is when its time to go out. And when she wants to get a piece of my daughter's dog Dagone. Don't know what it is about that fat, hairy pig - daughter likes to overfeed him whenever. Doesn't matter in the least what we, or the Vet says. :thud: :sure: As a result, he does look like a huge furry pig!!! In any case, Princess likes to follow him out so that she can latch onto the "dangly bits" attempting to tear his fur out. Even now, we can find several plugs of fur where she got ahold of him. :whattodo:
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with king crab legs and melted butter tater wedges and hushpuppies
-
Good morning, Fafnir! Double :java: for me this morning. Thanks! Having trouble getting started. Hope things are well with you.
-
everything is going well had early morning shopping trip yesterday
-
Good morning guys!
It's a :blownaway: day, and in fact it's like that since the night. Plants in pots are back safely inside, but they had to wait the humans decide wake up for good :tearlaugh:
What is funny is we have plenty sun, not a drop of rain. ANd temperatures aren't that bad.
-
Fafnir, I'm guessing it's already warm there so an early trip would be more pleasant.
Aelin, your poor plants! Did they all survive? Glad you have pretty weather at least. What do the animals think of the wind?
-
Fafnir, I'm guessing it's already warm there so an early trip would be more pleasant.
Aelin, your poor plants! Did they all survive? Glad you have pretty weather at least. What do the animals think of the wind?
Yes, plants are still there. Time will tell if some were hurted or not by the wind.
Mini Forecast passed most of his week in his home when it was cleaning daily time. Except that, he said nothing and was like usual. His sister doesn't care the changes, like usual :psycho:
Cats don't care too, and even one was before the window this morning, looking with big eyes a cyclist passing :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all.....
First Off...HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF YOU MOTHERS OUT THERE....
Just checking in before we get ready to take off to visit Travis and the clan. That way he gets to have a visit with his mother. Yes, I'm going to let her tag along also :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Sound like a rough night indeed Aelin. Hate those unexpected wind storms....no warning at all.
And as you mentioned....the animals don't give a care about them unless things start hitting the place LOL.... Glad your plants survived....
Good Morning Sir Knight.....Hope your day will be a super one my friend...
PS...Aelin....After the neighbor borrowed my mower (still no riding mower) I decided to do my yard also LOLOL.....
-
Good Morning!!!
-
Happy Mothers Day
Although feeling very happy since Rendo about to get a chunk.of my money for purchases never made and they declined due to server error but according to my card they approved anyway.
-
That's more confusing then me when I'm confused LOLOLOL......But GLAD it's a good thing....
-
No not a good thing at all. Pending charges wont drop and they get paid for things I never bought.. Why I am seriously pissed
-
Ahhhhh....I read it wrong......My bad.....and yes...that DOES suck.
-
That sucks indeed. I think that someone over at Rendo has a SERIOUS case of cranial rectal definlade going on.

Mothers' Day in France is at the end of this month. I have already a gift I have choosen for my Mom... but since almost 5 weeks I'm waiting for. Just a book, supposedly easy to have like for any book from France. But it's already the second book I ask for in the only library of the town. And the second time they aren't able to honor the ask. I think the last time I go in, I prefer to stay with my books, and those I can maybe find in the almost monthly associative garage sale.
Tomorrow I don't know when I'll come guys. Troubles with Coquinette. She was fine this morning. But when we made the full cleanup, I saw she is hurted not far behind her left ear. Maybe a too big scratch when cleaning herself, or something in the few hay given to them each week. But I'm going to call the vet, and to see if he want to see her or not. If the weather is like a large part of the day, won't be a happy rush but I don't want to lose her without trying everything.
Was so troubled that at the moment I had to make Donald back in his cage... I put him in the cage of his sister :panic: I saw it not even 30 seconds later. He had the time to go in the bottom of the cage (I put him in the top), to see his sister... and to be pursued by her! :tearlaugh: The poor guy had the reflex to hide in the house, which I took outside to put him in the good cage.
That won't prevent to stay in alert for next 25 days :thud:
Noshoba, as longer as you have a proof they take money but without giving you what you are supposed to have bought, they have to give your money back. Servor issues aren't your problem, it's theirs.
-
Ahh finally home. Aelin the issue is a continuation of a prior one. So yes they already know about it. Said charges would drop off my card after 3-5 days.. When they didnt I called card company. This is when I found they had actually had approved them after declining them on the first time with a internal server error 127 fraud attempt message. So yes extremely annoyed. Actually have separate invoice where I made the purchase.
-
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the world! Hope that you are enjoying this extra special day with your loved ones. My son came yesterday with his fiancee and spent the entire day with us. It was so good to have him home. Last time we saw him was on February...and we are like 45 minutes apart but we've all been taking precautions.
Anyway, here is raining and chilli(spring weather). Enjoy!
:havesum: :mwah:
-
That's a great weekend for you :thumb_up:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Yes, :woohoo: Happy *BELATED* Mothers Day, Moms of The Attic! Me, I slept through it LOL!
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill, with king crab legs and melted butter tater wedges and hushpuppies
-
Good morning guys!
Well finally Coquinette stays at home. Why? The vet doesn't want to touch her. If I go, I have to catch her with my hands, which will never happen like she refuses that. Vets are supposed to be professionnals able to catch all animals, and to have safe tables, not something where Coquinette will jump on the ground and kill herself for good.
In addition, they ask for people put that messing product on their hands. Which will kill for sure Coquinette.
So we just have to keep an eye on her. Nature will do the rest.
She continues to eat and to play. Many sleep too, but that is normal. Less normal is she didn't eat too much of the piece of apple, contrary to usually.

Late nurse visit today, but its done and I'm ok. Not feeling "flu" symptoms now. Back pain yep but no flu stuff, no fever, sweating, etc. Safe to make the reschedule I guess.
-
Hey Nemesis, I notice you really like BLUE! Blue tint to lights, blue magic flames in her hands and even coming out her hair, and blue eyes! That OH KAY though, sure made for a fantastic image :o)
-
Good Afternoon to all.....Had a ton of stuff to get done this morning so got a late start....
Yesterday was a good day at the Grandsons. All the Mothers had a great time.... Had a housefull LOL...
Thankfully the weather cooperated and it was a indoor/outside patio type of day. Got there early and left late....and even got some leftovers to take home...
This morning was a "Get the yard done" morning....since it was nice and cool out. Had to get it done today because they are calling for freezing temps either tonight or tomorrow night. (yes, they don't know for sure LOLOL)
Other then that...just a quick stop by to see what is what and why is who....
I'll take a triple coffee Fafnir :java: :java: :java: Ahhhhhh
Hope your little one gets well Aelin.....and yes....I thought Vets dealt with all critters....
Sorry to hear your woes are still going on with that purchase Noshoba....Hopefully it all gets worked out to your benefit...
Good to hear no flue stuff going on with you McG....a little early for that...but with so many strains out there...who knows.... They said last years flu cases were WAY BELOW what they anticipated....hummmm....wonder why :java:
-

so now I just realized I checked glucose at 5:33am, took my insulin, then got to ordering stuff. Meds, then over to Walmart to get groceries, picked the 10am-11am pickup time slot, played a while on Serious Sam 4, then at 5 to 10 got a text from Walmart my order is ready to pickup. AWRIGHT! Headed out the door...did anyone notice I'd not mentioned eating anything? Forgot to do that part. Get back, get everything in to the kitchen, get all stowed away, noted I was short 4 cups of Nissin instant soup, check receipt, nope they only had 2 of this flavor. ok, so all is sorted. OH! check glucose again, uh oh, forgot FOOD while ago, shaking like a dog [CENSORED] peach pits! 90. Hey that ain't bad! But it is dropping is why I get those shakes. Took adjusted dose insulin, prepared a quick lunch. Really a brunch! Heh!
Can ya believe they showed ME a piccy of their prize CHEESECAKE ?!?@#?#$?! ME! Put two of em right in the cart! Ha! No? That ain't gonna teach em a thing huh? Oh well, a slice of the first one is sure tasting great right now. Turned out one of those "cakes" was just two thin slices. SO that was desert.
:(DEVILISH): Just now. :gremlin: :woohoo: :thud: :ifonly: :grenade: Yes TL they are SMALL slices too, only a 9" cake cut to 8 slices. Got a freezer full of veggies again too. Grocery shopping with me fingers doing all the walking on a 32" monitor sure is enjoyable right now too! LOL!
I love cheesecake; especially Strawberry Cheesecake, and Cherry Cheesecake! :yes:
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Behaving is hard to do.....This I know...but glad you are trying to behave LOLOL.....and glad you are having a good time letting your fingers (or the mouse) do the walking through the food aisles. Less temptation :java: :ifonly:

Have a great night Aelin......Thanks for keeping us up to date in here.......

OoohhhHHH YES! Strawberry *WITH* whole fresh Strawberries on Strawberry sauce on the CHEESECAKE with honey graham cracker crust and a hot COFFEE and fresh Coca-Cola beside!
see McG. eat that cheesecake :shock: (oh de done it now!)
see McG.s expression with that first rush of FlAvOr! :grpwave: (yep, shaping up to a real horror story!)
see McG.s face go to bliss! :feelgood: (now THAT is pure scary!)
Yes see how happy he looks? :OMFG: :confet: (oh boy, playing the funeral dirge now)
As his "diet" is blown ALL to smithereens ?! :explode: (told ya, a real horror story!)

mayhap once in a while it is OK to blow your diet but don't do it to often as that can have an impact on your feet healing

mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be shrimp and sausage gumbo served over rice

Good morning guys!

Good MORNING Aelin! And what a day, so far! :D
You are SO right, Fafnir. So I have some cheesecake only like 2 or 3 times a year, and not whole ones either. That is the rarest of rare. And I still keep close check on the glucometer! I get like a 253 next check after that cheesecake, but next one is under 150, like its supposed to be. Got to give the body time to get rid of the extra sugar. That is like immediately for most people, but most of a day for me. Took 5 days to disappear that poor little cheesecake. Took 1 day to get sugar back to normal. That ain't bad, really!
Now, for a fresh cuppa COFFEE! :o)
OH, yeah, Serious Sam 4. I thought each of the first three was "huge", and even "Epic". Then here comes Sam Stone and the gang for a very different take on the term ARMAGEDDON. Yes, THAT one! So CROTEAM figured out how to have armies millions of men strong on the battlefield. That is boggling. Now me, being a real impatient sort as concerns GAMES, I played through the first 5 chapters without cheating. But that was better than Serious Sam 3: BFE, cause during the first chapter I hit the cheats and have stayed in dev cheat mode for 4 solid years with that one. I figure to play all the way through on at least "Normal" difficulty with cheats OFF. So why bother? Look, I get like TWO hours UPTIME with 2 to 4 hours PRONE time, as many times a day as that allows. Somewhere in there I fall asleep too. So, I want to pack as much fun time into my 2 hrs GAMING I can before I got to get prone for a while.
See Fafnir knows what he's talking about. Low glucose means lowered swelling, and that means less to no ulcers! And that is the goal. Makes Life more enjoyable!
-
and about that cheesecake, I find I truly do savor that even more, spacing servings out like that. Great Stuff! :D

Guys, I was just looking Redeycat's blog, to see if something new was done onto.

I'll grab a quick coffee and rye. Need to respond to an email from the Wicked Witch of the East and tell her I'm still alive. WWE is my kid sister. I don't think she cares, but is just being nosy since the news from this city is pretty grim. The East Coast is pretty isolated and they have been relatively COVID free.

Good Morning to all.....
I see I didn't miss much ..... but that's a good thing.....that means folks are out and about once again....which is always a good thing.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....
Still playing taxi for the daughter but at least things are starting to fall in place with her health issues.... As we all know with life...it's just one thing after another.....but you live...and that's what counts....
And now to see what else I missed....with :java: in hand......
-
Oh this is so weird. I went to bed at 10 pm, and slept. Right into 5am! Like a normal person! Egads wot's happening to me?! "Normal" is way too overrated. :OMFG: And Good Morning, This Afternoon all ye Attic denizens!
-
Hi this evening McG!
I think for now our mini forecast weather doesn't care anymore for potential thunder storms. Before, in previous flat, just when we had a threatening weather, but nothing, he was able to tell until 24 hours before.
Tonight, like yesterday, we have a weather like that. And he just lives peacefully his hamster's life :grenade: Maybe it's because we live in a valley, and no more at the top of the previous town.
-
Well, better for Donald but now you'll have to listen to news to learn about the weather. :whattodo:
-
I've learned that the best way to figure out the weather is to look out the window LOL. All day yesterday the local weather channel said RAIN RAIN RAIN....and we got NONE NONE NONE...though we need it....we are 5.43" behind normal for this time of year....which is not good for the farmers....
-

That's always a good thing McG....but believe me....Normal is much better then the alternative...Been down that route and tis not pleasant....
And good afternoon......
-
None of the forecast weathers agree with the other. And often they fall completely aside what we trully have :shrug:
Looking through the window help sometimes but not always. Probably because not yet used to be in a area with plenty hills. So when I think we won't have sun, we can have; and that with similar signs to the previous town where I could enough see if sun was to come or not. But I don't care, I take most of time what I need for rain or sun. And if I forget my sunglasses? Eyes don't hurt, at the contrary of previous town.
TL, farmers don't have the possibility to have stock of water, such as little artificial ponds?
-
The bigger farms do but not the "Mom and Pop" family farms....
The creek near our house is all dried up...which is why I leave water out for the birds and cats in the Neighborhood.....Plus other visitors....and nope...that's not Oz. That's Fuzzy Black and we have Long Tail Blacky, GrayGreen Eyes, Stripes, McGruf, and Orange that come by to check what we have sitting out
-
At least we can see they aren't unhappy. Oz isn't shocked to see by windows a "rival"?
Excellent end of day guys!

Good Afternoon to all......
What a BEAUTIFUL day out. We finally got some warm weather so I took advantage of it this morning. It's suppose to rain later on....but we've been hearing that for a while now and all it does is "SPIT" and passes us by....
Mel, Pat, Mels Mom and Shannon are paying a visit tomorrow afternoon so I hope the weather is nice so we can sit outside....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....I'll give you a buzz this afternoon....I think it's my turn anyway LOLOL...
And now to see what is what and who is who and why is when....
Aelin...these critters get plenty of treats LOL....
-
Good Afternoon Noshoba, Sir Knight and Mc-G.....I gotta check to see if I said good Morning or Good Afternoon on my last post....geeeeezzzzz..... :lostme:

Whew....I said Good Afternoon so I'm not totally loosing it.....That deserves another coffee :java: Ahhhhh
-
Good afternoon, TL. Glad you had a pretty day. Hope you and that crowd have a good one tomorrow as well.
-
I think it's rain in the morning...which we sorely need....so personally...I'd take Rain over visitors :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
But I'm sure all will be well.....Oz will entertain them if we have to have the visit indoors :woohoo:
-
Rain can stays far away for their road. Then comes when they are in your house. Then stops the time they are on the road.
But we all know the weather is rarely so conciliant :winks: :tearlaugh:
TL, sent you a PM concerning PFDdelights.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Got the message Aelin and will reply.....or I might have already replied and forgot already....or I thought I read the message but it was the other day and not today.....but in either case.....I'll go check it out....
And on that note I'm thinking about calling it a night also. Got all caught up with posts and the gallery....and I'll be giving Fafnir a call in a bit.....
I'll see you all in the morning.....after I take one last peek in the gallery...

Good Morning to all.....
A blustery windy rainy day here....I LOVE IT.....Rain....FINALLY.... I guess the carwash for the Girl Scouts that Shannon was going to do today might be lacking a few customers... That means I'll have a houseful LOLOL...
It was just going to be Mel, Pat, Mels Mom and Shannon....and now I'll also have 5 girl scouts here unless the rain stops.... :thud:...Good thing I have plenty of "Toys"...Nintendo, WiiU, Game Cube, Art Sets, and board games.
Oh well....Such is life and tis fun every now and then.
And now off I go to get some of what I have to get done done before the crowd arrives....
Now I need my :java: Ahhhhhhhh

Yesterday I gave water to the plants, but just half of what I wanted to give. Good idea to have listen instinct before the clouds. We have too rain today, but not moonson so it's perfect for hydratation.
Birds enjoy also the weather according their songs.
I don't know the usual way for rain/snow in the area. Just that now, after a high river during a part of Winter, it's now very low. The other day in town, one of the arches of the bridge was with just few puddles (the arch with a secondary little river); and probably not more than 30 centimeters in the central river - the bottom was visible.
Sure that changes of the level for the big floods, like they are written on some walls of the central town :tearlaugh:
-
Thankfully this has been a slow steady rain that most likely will seep into the ground....A hard rain would have done us no good for the yard...but would have filled the streams and creeks back up. But as mentioned...tis a slow and steady rain....and the forecast says it should showering on and off most of the day....
I had to water the plants yesterday because I didn't for the previous 3 days due to frost warnings :thud:
-
Up here in the panhandle, we got a few days of light rain, and big ol thunderboomers. But just light rain, which was great. Having a nice day of mostly cloudy sunshine, and no rain. Getting a few more wet days during the week though it seems.
-
Greeting one and all. Sorry for being 10-7 for a couple of days. Went to Temple VA in order to get the ol' Mk1 eyeballs checked along with Connie. Good news, eyes are still working and don't need a new 'script for lenses, though I did get a spare. Back news, we both got eyes dilated so they could check for any new problems. Good to go in that department, but had some very pretty light going along wherever I went! Colors other than white where no problem. White, on the other hand - OH WOW!!! Thought I was locked in a room with someone who had just gone through a pound or two of some really good stuff!!!!!
I don't do that sort of thing, by the way. I will admit to a little toke or two, but came away completly underwhelmed!
Luckily, my little Baja has some very nicely tinted windows. That and my shades got me home in one piece. Needless to say, stayed close to the casa.
-
Indeed whenever I have to get the eyes dilated it feels the same for me and we have sampled it more then once in my youth. Bright sunlight does mess with me afterwards too
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
No new specs for me either on the last checkup HS....Which is a rarity for me LOL....
Just stopping in for a short bit before I sign off. Busy day....still got more to do for our humble home...and then I'm done for the night....
But first...a double dose of :java: Ahhhhhhhhhh

:thumb_up:

Sounds good people. Eyes doing much better. I didn't need new specs, but Connie sure did. She got bifocals this time around. Doesn't like carrying an extra pair for reading. I like em for the wider range of vision they grant. An well, enough of that. It's getting late and soon time for lights out and to kick the cat across the street . . . . UH, I mean kicking THE cat across the street. As in ... :thud: Oh, never mind . . . . Lord, when I stick my foot in it . . . .

Last optometry visit was one year ago. Best make another appointment. I HATE that clinic. The sadistic "lady" at the window marks you NO SHOW with ya right there to show ya she's got the whip. GRRRR! Me n all two of my teeth will bite her face off! We aint supposed to be more than 10 mins early for any visit on campus, Covid rule. SHE marks ya NO SHOW if you are less than 30 mins early! And if all goes right you will sit and wait 2 to 4 hours to be called. The FIRST time. 3 more calls after that. This has happened even when I am the only patient there! Other than THAT mess, the re-entry shields er GLASSES are good. I get bi-focals for "other than computer" use. I wonder if I can get a pair with the bi-focal on the top of the lens? ;o) I love the fast transition photo-gray lenses, polarized. Protection from ultra violet. Get lots of that up here! Say, if they have to treat us veterans so shabbily, why do they even serve the veterans? Why are they allowed to?

Good Morning
I am Happy, still breathing air and on this side of the grass. :woohoo:

Hello, M-C! Very glad to hear it! :deal:

That would be nice since I still have report cards to write or in my case edit since I have a formula that I use when writing them.

Good Sunday morning to all.....
Was iffy on the weather for today due to last nights forecast...but damn...it's my kind of day...Partly Cloudy/or/Partly Sunny...depending on how you want to hear it presented by the forecasters LOL.... It rained yesterday which is great....and now it's yard mow day.... Can't wait...but I'll be nice...I'll wait till 10AM my time to rev the mower up....
HS....Trifocals is what I have...Been that way for at least 8 or 9 years now.... It takes at least a year or two to get use to them....that's for sure...
Good Morning Sir Knight and Aelin..... :java: ahhhhhhh
Hey Fafnir...Hurry up and get in the house....geeeezzzz....and don't spill your coffee....the Seafood Dinner for tonight sounds good....
-
Good morning, TL, Aelin, Fafnir and J.
I hope all of you have a good day!
-
Low pollen count....slight breeze....Cloudy sky....Temps in the lower 60's.....LOVE IT.....
Hope your day is a awesome one also Sir Knight....
-
Morning Rad, PDG, Noshoba, and HS.....
Hope your day is a grand one......
-
And McG.....You have some folks like that in all Clinics and Hospitals....Be they run by the government or not. I can change who I want to see for my eyes if the last one I had sucked...Not sure if you have a choice or not being it's the VA. I'm a Vet but I refused to go to the VA here in Madison. It SUCKS...plus my Company insurance was super so had very few medical bill worries.
My Brother on the other hand LOVES his VA in Rhode Island....and they ARE very good to him...so it depends on location I guess.
-
Seems to be the case with the VA, all I did was the radio system and a BDA for them, mostly for security and so forth.
Although the old man (Korean AF vet) does go to one of them, not certain where he goes but apparently they treat him properly from the stories he has related so as you said ... tis a crap shoot
-
Seconded. The VA we had in El Paso was passable, but noting like the center we have here in Temple. Must be the fact of having Ft Hood here in Killeen. Really nice up here. Only one with any problems is Connie. She's also a vet, but just not service connected like myself. Otherwise in great shape.
Just now taking advantage of the quiet before we have to take Aileen to work. Had a couple of small thungerboomers, but they soon petered out, leaving the rain to soak everything. Think I'm starting to grow gills!
:rain-rain:

Out here in Southern Nevada, the VA is somewhat decent depending what department you go to. Cardio is not that great, but Urology is great, our Optometrist section is pretty good. We have a 15 min prior to appointment to get in and check in for our clinic, but we don't have the someone making us as a no show for appointments if we don't have we are not on the dot.
If you used VA back in the late 1970s and early 80s like I did, (because the jobs I had back then did not provide company insurance), you would be treated less than human, the doctors where completely in control, you could not ask for any other type of treatment or alternative to a health problem you had to do as they said. The administrative section was intolerable, completely rude and you couldn't ask for a time or date for an appointment, they just gave you one an expected you to be there, they didn't care about your employment or personal life and the responsibilities that you have. The doctors: I really did not have that much faith in them, back then.
It took all the major veterans organization to clean up this mess in the 1980s and 90s, it has been getting better over the years, but I do think they do need improving there too. So like Jerrith said, "It is a crapshoot."
-
And FINALLY.....DONE
Started the yard work right after my last post in here and my phone call with Fafnir...and got done at 2:45....and then took a nice HOT shower....and I'm now settling in for the day....Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done with files so I'll take one more tour in here and stop by later in the day....with
:java: in hand
Ahhhhhhhh
-
That's what I went through when I first moved up here M-C. Moved to Wisc in '76 and bartended for 2 years for all the local bars and one Supper Club. No insurance and the local bars paid you under the table...But the supper Club was by Payroll.
And I HAD to go to the VA in Madison....SUCKED...all the way around....Curtain in between the beds...no privacy.....rude Doctors, Nurse and help. But had no choice...Thankfully I got hired by the job I stayed with for 35 years...and as mentioned...the insurance was awesome.
-
It wasn't until 1999 that I got a job with the county, and got off VA for a while. But I am thankful for the veterans organizations that fought for improvements over the years and made VA a better place. It is a different than the VA from the past.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
We too are happy that it has gotten better, you the vets deserve better then what you have received
-
Have a great evening and rest Aelin.
-
Looks like a storm is rolling in and we are getting that rare commodity out here called rain. :rain-rain:
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with rye rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked prime rib with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
to all our Vets thank you for your service and may the VA improve their standard of care and treatment of you all
-
Lovely day in the neighbourhood today. "They" say it will be great for at least a week. Hope so. It's set up the clones day. I'll grab a quick coffee and then move the mothers to the balcony. Waiting for them tater wedges later on.
-
Good morning guys!
It's a sunny and windy day, starting to even be cloudly now.
And I hope the sound I have just heard from a floor isn't for works again :thud: We had that "joy" this morning.
-
so far the day had gone "fairly" well. Woke up real nicely - mind willing but the ol'bod not quite ready to cooperate - and then the phone rang. Some broad trying to sell "Final Expense Insurance". Guess they were waiting for me to say "yes, can I help you" or some such rot. I refuse to say "yes" on any sort of robo call. If they have/get the neccessary data, they can use that for confirmation of some transaction they want to get off you. No thanks. :ifonly: Now back in "office". No rain at the moment as was the case yesterday. Had enough, truth be told.
Oh, and TL, have also had trifocals at one time. Not for me. Eyes kept wanting to cross both in the horiz and vert. WHEEEEEEEEE!
-
Just got done with a bit of business. Checked Connie's and my bank accounts. Still to the good. Then I had to blow it all and check radar. Should have wandered over to Fafnir's for some of that good coffee, with a bit of fortitude added before hand.
:java: Got rain and even flooding in the forecast. Dancers must REALLY be bored so they're throwing in a little extra. Even the thunderboomers are going nuts. Either the gods had a GREAT game on upstairs, or they're 'avin one 'ell of a row!
:rainy: :rain-rain: :rainy:
-
Phone calls. I am now pretty thankful for Android smart phones. It tells me if it's a Junk call. I don't answer those. If it recognizes the number/person, it tells me so n so is calling, answer up. That's cool.
M-C, I got my end of contract active duty release in 76, and the Charlie Golf 8th District sent me my Honorable Discharge Certificate in 78. Six year contract, completed. I'd gone down to the Galveston VA to 'check in' and get started with them. I was not in uniform obviously. I cannot figure why the "war protestors" were still camping out the VA, or why they threw garbage at me for approaching the doors, or spit on me when I passed by them. I remembered all the variety of tasks we did, and the Navy did, and the Army did, and the Air Force did, and the Marines did. Wow, and here a handful of the people WE protected and served, treat US like filth. I stopped myself from yanking that guy out and demanding he fight ME. So I go on to the doors, and they are locked. That was dismal.
In May 2010, having no insurance and being deathly ill, my son took me to the Houston downtown VA. Also called the Michael E. De Bakey VA Med Center. I wobbled to the help desk and asked the nice lady there if they could help me, I think I am dying. She verified my identity, had an office print me a plastic picture ID card, and got me to an available Doctor for evaluation. He checked my vitals, put me in a wheel chair and took me to the ER himself. That little man, born and raised in Kenya, Africa, fought HIS fight FOR American Veterans. He saved my life that day. A month later, with his literally begging me, I stopped smoking. Period. That was the second time they saved my life. In early November 2011 I caught sight of "a symptom" that could not be ignored. It being a Friday night, I sent my Primary Care doc a site mail. Monday morning he made me an appointment with the Urologist they use. They sent a van to collect me, take me to the clinic, get me from the clinic, to the VA to see my PC doctor, then took me home. That began my treatment for my cancer. Third time they saved my life. In so many ways, they have and still do help me. I insist on giving credit where it's due. And as TL says, I paraphrase "One Bad Apple Don't Spoil The Whole Bunch!"
So the VA truly HAS changed a lot in the more than 30 years between visits. And it's still my best option. That whole campus exists for US man. We do have better choices with them now, options that didn't exist back when I first went in. They also have their own commissioned police department, and they exist to help us too. I get grumpy about a couple things, yet I also figure it is important to take up for them where it needs to be, like now. I have issue with one doctor, and not a fatal issue either. They are not an automated processing plant. They ARE a caregiving organization, that does give care to me, to us all.They did not turn me away, and I'm grateful for that. I get grumpy, sure. And I should also get happy in that I am currently receiving in home nurses care, get personalized treatment at an advanced medical facility. And have options I haven't really even looked at yet.

NURSES. I am truly believing these people must be Angels in disguise. They are severely overworked. I mean, 15 patient visits in ONE DAY! Not a week. A Day. They are seriously understaffed. Yeah they make a "lot of money". I find it horrible to learn that most of these people make about the same money right now that I did back in 2006. And we had some excellent benefits too. So I consider them underpaid, overworked and horribly under appreciated.
Let's have a big HURRAH! for all the Nurses and health care workers! HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!Heck yeah, they are worth it!
-
:kianna: is a nurse also ... just saying
-
Oh. My. GOD! :thud:
-
Seeing her is almost as scary as to have one of my aunts being a nurse :panic:
-
That Kianna is quite the looker, and I will be enough of a gentleman to not say what she looks like. :puah:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Got an interesting call this afternoon. The kid sister all freaked out. Thought I was dead. She was trying to spy on my nonexistent social media as she hasn't heard from me in a bit. When she saw a R.I.P. from a friend of mine she thought it was me. Of course she emailed me to find out the truth but I only check email once a day so never saw it. Not able to grasp the concept that I refuse to be bothered with a mobile device she panicked when I did not respond to her instantly and called the house. During the only phone call I get, once every two weeks from my buddy Ed checking if I need a lift anywhere. She couldn't understand that I don't have call waiting or ring down on my POTS line so I won't interrupt an ongoing call to acknowledge her. I informed her, that like Twain; the reports of my demise were a little premature and that should I pass away, I would be sure to drop her a line to inform her of the fact.
-
'Night Aelin.
Gotta grab me a few of them tater wedges before I split. I love those things with a little hot sauce for dipping.
-
Exquisite PDG got to love messing with the siblings that do not grasp that some of can live and get by just fine with minimal tech.
-
Hi McG I can understand getting a little grumpy, we are not 100 percent anymore in the health area anymore. After that rain we had here, I am still as a board and have a real stiff neck which is painful right now. I watch my diet, and maybe eat junk food once a month for a treat. I drink milk, water, tea, coffee and lemon water. I might drink a beer or have wine once in a great while and maybe a shot once a year for the hard stuff. I need to quit smoking again,(had been off them for seven year before) being locked down here really got to me in the small area I live in. Smoking dose get me out of house an on the porch. There is no backyard or front just rocks some plants out there and the side walk however their is a great view of the mountains from my porch. I miss going places and seeing things and people hopefully soon this covid thing will just be a memory.
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked ham with all the trimmings
-

Makes her crazy. Irks me that she spies on me, though to no avail. I post on three sites including this one. My FB account got used after the last fire in the building to let everyone know I survived. Otherwise no go. Never had Twitter, Instagram or the rest of them. Don't care. Your sh!t isn't so important that it needs to be shoved into my face all day long. If I wanted to know about your dog or cat I would ask. Your crazy dance moves are just that. I've never met your kids and I don't think that their finger painting the walls is news worthy and their is no way in He!! that I'm buying stock based on some unknown schmuck's "inside scoop" on the next big thing.

Quit smoking...... Man after more than 50 years I wish I could do that. Like you I smoke outside. My late wife quit and I had to start smoking on the balcony. I still do it. Nothing to see. More buildings and pavement. They took away my Community Garden plot last year due to this foolishness and it didn't come back this year. Like you I long to be let out to see something or randomly talk with someone on a sidewalk on the spur of the moment. I want to see and hear live music once again. I know a lot of musicians and haven't seen any of them in over a year.
-
Thanks Fafnir. Fortified coffee is always good in the morning.
-
Good morning guys!
-
'Mornin' Aelin.
-
Good Morning Y'all! Oh it's afternoon again. Oh well, it's a good one! Got Mogwai to the vet, he got a good going over, got x-rays and a steroid shot for a little inflammation seen on tail near pelvis. Doc said yep, that would do it. Then we all saw him move his tail away from the Doc! Yaaay! Well, I am relieved, and Mogwai ought to be feeling better by this evening. Doc also looked at his teeth and what's left are looking OK he said. He weighs 13 pounds even. And he's not even "fat" according to the Doc.
I see my Endocrinologist tomorrow afternoon. Not concerned about this visit, I already know the glucose is down from last visit. But am curious what A1C is. Have to see the vampires first. Ok, sooo we're OFF to see da Whizzard! ;)
-
Hey guys! M-C, best to quit now than later! I smoked for some 32 years, last 7 to 8 was like 3 packs a day. And I DID stop all tobacco use. Some call it cold turkey but truth is it took me a couple years to finally just leave even the filters alone. Now I occasionally buy some sugar free menthol cough drops and use them as Cigarette Replacements. :)
-
Used the Stim-u-dent plaque remover picks as my displacement activity when I quit 13 years ago, still do use them as a matter of fact.
-
Whew!!!!! Finally able to get back on the net. Got thunderboomers in area so don't know how long I can hang. In any case, just glad I did not take up the habit. What really put me off was all those tokers who ran out of smokes en route to places like Graf, or Hohenfels. They were going around offering up to 5 bucks for a pack of smokes! And this when they were only a buck or so. The smart ones . . . :ifonly: bought a couple cartons of cigs and parcelled them out while on the train. Nice way to pick up spending monies for a good bit.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a good evening, Aelin.
-
morning coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried grouper sammies and bacon wrapped scallops
-
Good morning, Fafnir. I think coffee with a touch of rum would start the day well. I hope things are going well for you.
-
Good morning guys!
I'll be back later, after the lunch.
-
Morning killing time before I have to get to work..really hate working with lazy people that think they are being smart.
-
Man! It sure is hard to squash internet BS. My fool sister had started a landslide. My name is not Twain and the roomers of my passing are indeed premature. Think the rest of the bloody world gets that? Nope. I spent yesterday stomping on this stupidity and I'm off to see if it has taken hold. Give me a double please Fafnir. Skip the coffee. I already have a headache this morning. I am not expecting it to go away anytime soon.
-
Morning killing time before I have to get to work..really hate working with lazy people that think they are being smart.
Even more fun are the ones that ask the same thing over and over because they have an attention span no longer then a lower rod bearing is thick. And the icing on the cake is that they have done the task previously ... :thud:
-
Well this lazy f*ck always thinks he is fooling people.
-
Good Morning to all......
Been a busy couple of days but got a lot done. Love the "closet transition" from winter cloths to Spring and Summer wear...though I still have the Winter coat on the coat rack....Just in case....
Anyway...mission accomplished and all the Winter wear was washed, dried, put away...
And now for a :java: ....... and take a tour...
-
For those who saw it but didn't dare to ask. Yes, for now the gallery is down, but should be back sooner or later.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Dang Aelin you forgot the best part, 'should be back sooner or later, if it comes back at all'. :iminnocent:
That reminds me of a funny story I heard some time ago about galleries.
Have a good night Aelin.
-
Well this lazy f*ck always thinks he is fooling people.
Indeed, they always do
-
Yep, the gallery has really gone AWOL
-
'Mornin" all. Celebratory coffee and 40 Creek please Fafnir. It appears I am alive again. Took two days to quash stupidity but I see myself in a mirror so I am not, to my best determination; the undead and the fog on the surface of such assures me that there is some form of respiration. Smart them Victorians.
-
Good morning, PDG. Glad to hear that even though your sister has advocated that you becoming vampiric, you've resisted. :thumb_up: You must have powerful tools to quiet social media.
-
Good morning guys!
Yep, gallery still out, but it's worked on. Just need time with those little beasts.
-
Good Morning to all. In here for a bit but have chores to run later on in the day.... Got to get them done before the "So Called" severe weather comes. I don't see any on my weather maps but our local station says they are coming.... They said the same thing yesterday and all we got was Cloud Spit.....
Aelin has put me onto a new task which I've put off for many years.... Organizing all the files on my externals. And glad I'm doing it because I'm finding items I forgot I had...and it's helping to find files for PFD which were lost in the transfer.
Anyway...I'm going to grab a :java: and say HOWDY to PDG, Sir Knight, Aelin, and all others lurking about....I think Fafnir had appointments this morning....but not sure...
-
You forgot to say good morning a second time to Kianna :sad:
-
You're closer to her then I am...You can do it for me..... :ifonly: :woohoo:
-
And PFDdelights' work moved faster and easily until now thanks to you :yes:
-
Mary is working on the gallery now - it's still online, and with good surprises, even if it will come slowly. Stay patient guys!
Excellent end of day!
-
Good morning, PDG. Glad to hear that even though your sister has advocated that you becoming vampiric, you've resisted. :thumb_up: You must have powerful tools to quiet social media.
I found the original source and set him straight. Wish I could have seen his webcam when I responded to his original R.I.P. announcement asking if he knew something I didn't. Bet he sh!t himself. I'm still getting people I haven't heard from, or of; in a long time trying to find the memorial. I was being confused with a University Professor I've known for 30 years with a very similar legal name and identical street name that passed last week. Not the first time folk have confused us when we've been spoken of but not seen.
-
And that, it appears; was my one thousandth post. :thud:
-
Count Draculas Parkdale. now to aim for 5000..
8 )
Cheers
-
Heh heh HA HA! Nice Wizz! :oD :thud:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and later on they will have king crab legs with melted butter for dipping and grilled steaks too
-
had early morning appointments yesterday then off to take kid to doc so was run ragged better now
-
Hands PDG a big mug of coffee and 40 creek great going on reaching 1000 post now keep on going for 5000
-
Thanks Fafnir. I'll be changing the coffee for iced tea later. It is going up to a balmy 88 degrees today. Middle of August weather. Rye still works with iced tea. I know; I've had practice.
So 5000 posts. You poor people are ready for 5x the verbal mangling I make of my supposed native language that I've already portrayed over the years. You folk need more of Fafnir's Fine Formula of Fortification + coffee than I do it seems. Have you tried 40 Creek? Maybe a 151 proof rum?
-
Good morning guys!
You are all able to support my language since August 2014, yours isn't worse at all. If I understand what you are talking about, it's you are readable.
Congrats anyway! :peek:

Actually I've been fighting my browser since I was here this morning. I usually just ignore the non https lock that pops up and carry on. My browser (Firefox) must have run an update this am. Had a hard time over riding my security settings to allow the "non-secure" site to open. I'll have to check out another non https site I trust to see what's up.
-
I'm glad I left FF when they decided to change the core of the browser, 2 or 3 years ago. I wasn't able to use my adblocker because it was no more recogned by the browser.
Now I'm using Waterfox.
-
yea we got 151 rum and some great moonshine as well for those that like the stuff and i got some stuff they make there on the big island that they call rum that will blow your mind in a couple swallows
-

Something is up. Internet has come to a crawl. I have great upload speed but no downstream. Might be my ISP. They sent the bill the other day and are increasing my cost starting on the first. I suspect that wired net speeds are decreasing in order to get me to upgrade to one of the newer 5g wireless plans. Unless they throw in a cell phone and drop the cost below first born plus new mortgage, to something more like rental Port-A-Potty and a case of arse wipe; they are wasting their time.
-
Think I'm gonna want the Big Island hooch. I'm always up for an adventure.
-
You can almost hear the moneymen, "They've been happy long enough, throttle the bandwidth to AOL." The screams begin.....
I worked at a sub-hub for a while, when things got too pricey, they'd turn down the bandwidth 3-4 points and save thousands a month. next momnth dial it back up.
Wierd.
-
I've had high speed wired internet for years. I should update a cable or two around here but .3 down and 130 up is more than a Cat5 vs Cat5e or Cat6 cable issue. Gonna have to get into the router again in case someone is doing something nefarious, but I don't think that's the issue. I locked down pretty tight. There is a new box on the network though it is not currently up and running. Going to have to check there as well.
After some of that Big Island hooch though. I could use a drink. The damn Fire Service is back at the building. Alarms, sirens, and internet crap are really giving me a headache.

Here they are trying to push everyone to have optical fiber. Beside the fact the fiber isn't everywhere (and they are just starting works here), most of people who decided to pass with are very angry. It's worse connection than the wifi ADSL.
The costs are also doubling after 1 year - but of course they try to hide it when proposing contracts. And if you haven't the outlets for, they ask you to pay one more bill for putting it in your house; even when you aren't the owner of the house...
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
here too, they merged the two companies and are changing us all to fiber optic, like I told them to not go and set me up with expense on my part since I only have internet usage, no phone or tv with them.
-
Been a long day so I'm signing off my friends....Have a great night....
-
Good night, TL. Rest well.
-
Need more liquid sustenance before I consider calling it a night.
Yep, one of those long days moving a site that the powers that be neglected to shall we say, plan, notify and co-ordinate with the other parties involved.
:sigh:
-
Good night to all.
-
Good night, PDG. J, cheers!
-
@ Sir Knight in case thou be hungry been posting some interesting dishes.
-
What the hey? Just get back up on the net and everybody now seems to be taking off for the night! Oh well. Saw the the gallery is still AWOL. Need to get pick back in. Still thinking about a couple of others. Just need to make sure I have the right set.
-
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/index.php
toss out your bookmark cause it most assuredly is back up again...from this afternoon actually...LOL
You may have to do hard refresh of your browser or toss out the cookies/cache

Morning Attic folk. Just popped in for a coffee and rye.
Hipshot I am just getting my net connection back to reasonable. Flipping download speed had dropped to .2 Mbps. Getting even mostly text sites was slower than my old Zyxel dialup modem. Got it back up to 8.3. I can live with that. Not downloading any big files without a trip to the cupboard with my "coffee" cup for a refill to keep me occupied while stuff happens.
With the gallery back up I guess I better get Poser installed on The Shanghai Cathouse, pick a couple things from the market, talk to Mary about it; and render something just so you folk know that I do indeed craft images from time to time.
First up. Ed is taking me out for Senior's Shopping Hour so I can get groceries. He'll be here in about a coffee from now.
-
PDG, with your years of good advice on how to make Poser behave, I suspect there's not much doubt about your abilities. I would love to see something, though.
-
Well Sir Knight; my lift is on the elevator now so I'll be on it later today.
-
Mornin coffee and cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on they will have bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops and king crab legs with butter for dipping and all the trimmings, tater wedges and hushpuppies too
-
Good morning guys!
And good shopping PDG!

Back from grocery shopping. Now is time for a rye infused coffee and a smoke while I wait for my own coffee maker to get it together. Forgot to set a half hour timer before I left. Ed's gonna have to wait a bit to get his.
-
Good morning guys!
And good shopping PDG!
Thanks Aelin

Good Morning to all.....
A very warm day in the making and a lawn that will need mowing since we have rain in the forecast for the next 3 or 4 days.....
I say "IN THE FORECAST" with a big "DOUBT IT" at the end of it. Each time they say rain, we get spittles...and twickles...but no long lasting rain. All the counties around us have rain....but nope...not us....
PLUS....we have our first REALLY HOT DAY of the year....They "SAY" it's going to be 85 degrees today. It will have to do a lot of climbing since I woke up to 42 degrees this morning LOLOL
Anyway...time to get my chores down in here with :java: in hand...
Enjoy the day folks...
-
85° "really hot" :o_go_on:
-
When it gets above 70 degrees it's considered a "Scorcher" up here LOLOLOL
-
:thud:
-
Keep in mind "J" when it's one degree above freezing folks wear shorts around here.....they consider that a "Winter Heat Wave" LOLOL.....
I'll go out with a light jacket....but YOU WILL NOT catch me in shorts in that temperature....I wasn't born and raised here....I moved here in 1976....I was use to the New England weather....took me many many years to get use to this place :thud:
-
J would be a popsickel up there so would I in that cold
-
BRRRRRRR. I can take the weather in Germany and Korea, but not not for years at a time. Here in central Texas, the weather's pretty fair. You just have to learn to breathe underwater on occasion. Its raining here right now, after a loverly couple of days. And man, is it coming down! Sitting tight in my cave as I don wanna!!!!!!! Have to go out on the morrow to take Aliene to work, but today is going to be staying hunkered down and staying dry
PDG: I'm still on Spectrum here in Killeen. Ditched cable as just too expensive and now have only internet. Most times its good. Nice speeds so I, Conne and Aliene can watch Netflix/Hulu/surf at the same time. Its just that on occasion, the signal gets lost completely and have to wait for it to come back up. Speeds are good though, clocking in at around 100Mps for the most part.

Yeah. Right. My internet download speed, after a lot of effort is up to a ... wait for it.... 8.3. I can upload at a perfectly acceptable 16.5. I have two choices here. Pay through the nose or pay through the other end. Both are rather messy and highly unpleasant, neither having a satisfactory outcome. There are third party suppliers, but they go through the big 2 lines so you really can't escape.

Sounds exactly like here. Mind you once the snow melts it's also time around here for spandex capris on butts a bit too broad in the beam to be encased in said shorts.

We have 75 feels like 80. Well the Celsius equivalent, or so I'm told. Not in my corner of reality. It's been spitting rain on and off for the last two hours and if it's over 68 or 69 I'll buy the "weather specialist" (I refuse to capitalize this) on my TV, a drink on the patio of her choice; to enjoy the non-existant rays, while the wind inverts the advertising umbrella from some liquor company , taking the socially isolated table it's attached to crashing to the ground.
-
So, I see someone else has no love for the weather weenies either
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-

Exactly like yours PDG....We send each other the cold fronts, a few warm fronts (Which are rare) and Storms...You send us your cold and snow...and Mary send us her heat and rain LOLOL
-
mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready plenty rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings
-
Morning Fafnir... Hopefully get a little cooking and rendering in today since for once not working.
-
hope you have a great day Nosh
-
And you. Be good to get some scratch cooking in for a change.
-
Mornin all. Coffee and a rye this fine am if you please. Got time for one while I walk the halls for a bit. Monaco F1 this morn so I'm getting my act together and moving my VPN to London so I can get SKY Sports F1. One of the reasons I get pissed when my net speed freaks out. Sucks a bit of bandwidth VPNing foreign tv networks
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the wake-up!
Good morning, Noshoba. Looking forward to the renders.
And good morning, parkdalegardener. Have your adjustments left you able to comfortably watch F1 or will we have to see?
Early church for me then Fedora 34 upgrades.
-
Morning. -chuckles- Use to watch Sky Sports back in the day when I was watching American Football.. the announcers were aRiot lol.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Nice quiet Sunday here in Texas. Still raining a bit. As I said, no love for the weather weenies. Need to take Aliene to work a bit later. Tomorrow, it'll be my turn to go to the VA. Got a Dr's appt for a checkup. Already had blood drawn and this time even had to put a sample in that little plastic container from the internal resevoir.
-
So boring having to fill the container from the internal reservoir. But supposedly it is good for something, although one does have to pity the ones that have to do the testing of said fluids.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
:lostme:
Good morning guys! Between sun and wind today, and a touch of clouds.
-
Good morning, Aelin. No rain here for many days.
-
This morning we had a little, but probably not enough to tell "hey, 1 millimeter" :tearlaugh: We have pretty several weather in a day since a week at least.
-
morning coffee and cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the fixings
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin
-
It's warm enough here for a bit of rain in the wee hours, then by noon it's all dry again. The neighbors got their mowers out and chopping their jungles down to golf course grade. NOAA LOCAL WX says bright and sunny with severe thunder storms at 20% liklihood. That picks up to 40% tomorrow. Meanwhile it IS bright and sunny! How bout that eh? The cats are sleeping, Mogwai can move his tail quite a bit now. :o)
Time to have a coffee then a nap myself. G'nite Attic Folks!
-
Back home at last. Got up - finally - so that I could hit the road to Temple. Got there and for once the Force was with me. Got in to see Dr like right away. Nurse remembered me, so don't know if that's good or bad. Turns out to be good. For some reason, must be pretty memorable. In a good sort of way. Clean bill of heath from the doc, just have to watch the carbs and sugar. Coming back in, had to get Aliene a spicy McChicken sandwich and an order of fries. That girl could live on that garbage! Would hate to see her cholesterol count! ON well, at least it ain't me.
-
coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked pork ribs with all the trimmings
-
early morning therapy appointment then back home to make doc appt for Janet so going to be a busy morning
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the wake-me-up!
I hope the therapy continues to help and getting the appointment for Janet will be easy.
-
mornin Sir Knight just got to get her there at 1020 this morning
-
Good morning guys!
Today the sun seems to have lost the battle. Mainly clouds and a tiny rain only by moments. But it's fine like that.

Good Morning to all......
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir....I need it :java: Ahhhhhhh
Been clearing out some externals so I can set them up for the weekly backup. Don't want to have anything go missing ever again if possible.
But what a chore....taking longer then I thought it would....but getting rid of many dup, trip and quad files....
Plus.....yesterday was our semi annual "Clean Up" day here. The park folks bring in a huge dumpster bin and all items you want to get rid of are welcome. I saw recliners, chairs, electronics, mattresses and a lot more.... I had very few items but it was a good way to clean up the sheds while getting rid of crap... We'll have another "Clean up" day in October.
Anyway....I'm off to take a tour and then back to the externals....
On a good note....I'm finding many treasure I forgot that I had on the externals....it's like having a treasure hunt LOLOLOL
-
Treasure hunt, or a new Christmas time for yourself :tearlaugh:
And the things put in the dumpster. Some are maybe still working. Are they given to associations after a checking, or just put in :dustbin: forever?
-
Thought I stop by and say hello,
I am keeping busy by learning new things like programming and computer networking. I like it but do like rendering too. Hopefully it will all come together soon so I can animate my renders.
Next month is doctor month have at lease 4 or more appointments and I really don't like the dentist one but is necessary. I am going to have a bridge replacement oh fun.
Hope everyone is doing as well as they can.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a good rest, Aelin.
Watch for the lunar eclipse tonight!
-
Gorf!!!!! That does not sound like fun. I think I had all my appts earlier. I think I have one next week, but that is then. Now having a day off. Actually its Aliene's day off, today and tomorrow. :woohoo: That means I don't have to drive her anywhere and can chill. Oh Yeah.
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good morning guys!
Impossible to check easily the sky by night. Beside the hills which block a part of teh view, there are closed shops for the night but with useless lights on the buildings :sure: And the traject of the Moon takes her behind the high building close to us :shrug: That's life!
Today we started with clouds, no rain despite what said the forecast weather. And now, one of the cats is taking a lot of sun!
-
It was overcast here when the eclipse started so I didn't see it either. :whattodo:
Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin (also good morning to any others who have not commented yet.)
I'm trying to decide whether to repost the start of my current chapter to the gallery or just resume where I left off. Only a few people seem to be interested and you all have much better memories than I do. I think I'll just take up the next images.
-
Good Morning,
Another great day. I am still on this side of the sidewalk. :woohoo:
-
I have no idea what DarkAngel and Jherrith will do with non (yet) reposted images; if they will put them in the gallery or not.
I know the list was done. But then images stay under their names for the moment, because of something in the background and that is taking time to change.
Sure for you it wasn't the best time with all images you added to continue the Eve's story. More the story you made for Fantasy Art gallery. More the Eve of May story.
-
Thanks, Aelin. I think I'll just wait. No one is demanding more so allowing things to settle down seems the best course.
-
:lostme: You can make directories in your attic Gallery and place each story under a separate directory.
-
He already did it, and we ended to read chapter 4 in May.

So the cat has come up with a new formula for waking up her human.
Jump on bed, come and yell as loud as possible, (she is not very loud but very high pitched), in said humans face.
Jump on human to get to other side, yell again then repeat the jumping :thud:
[/size] You can't sleep through that. She is not heavy but the sudden impact on your side/shoulders gives you one heck of a start[size=78%]
-
Cats don't meow here to wake me up, fortunately. One of them can meow if doing nightmares, but that's all.
The other sleeps on me. Some nights, I wake up and find her looking at me, always on my body, quietly sit. If I don't wake up enough, she starts to walks on me toward my face :shrug:
I think TL has his toes eaten by Oz.
Every cat tries something on his/her own way :tearlaugh:
-
Yep that is true, each will find its own way to get your attention. Kitt is a very chatty cat, always talking lol
-
Ooooooooh, and here I thought we had a winner. Connie's cat only does his song when he's hungy. Which is most of the time. Other than that, pretty quiet. Aliene's cat, on the other hand ..... Meow - what a name for a cat. He's a roamer. Comes in long enough to eat, maybe sleep a bit, then back out. And he definitely lets you know when. Bloody beast can come in front door, do a little something, and then out back door. Or vice versa. Sometimes we find the critter sleeping on the porch, other times just moseying up to the house from wherever he's been.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Yes indeed. Though its still early here. Despite living overseas for a good bit, it still takes a bit to realized that others are just not on my time zone.
-
Our cats are named Cookie Baby (my 11 year old female), and McCartney ( My brother's male, and will sing for his supper).
Normally Cookie acts like a little crank toward McCartney; though I can tell it is just for show. She thinks she's keeping him in line! LOL But I can tell that they see each other as part of her and our family.
I got confirmation of this just four days ago when both got on my chest side by side, trying to wake me up. I pretended to remain asleep so that I could see what they would do. Slitting my eyes just barely enough to see, I catch both of them rubbing noses with each other! :thud: On my chest! :thud: And both were purring up a big storm! :thud:
Things that make you go "Hmmmm!"
-
I should have gotten a kitten for molly to grow up with when she was a puppy but i didn't my mistake do like having a cat too
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too. the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked ham with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Morning...maybe will find a pet friendly place to live next time.
-
Good morning guys!
For now it's the sunshine time of the day :tearlaugh:
-
Oh yeah. Finally getting a little sunshine here as well. After several days of it pissing down rain. Have put growing gills safely on the back burner for a good bit. Trying to get back into the groove of doing things, but the muse of writing seems to have gotten hold of me once again. Been polishing up my origin story to the Sirenian Factor. Not to mention a small rewrite. When finished will resubmit since the other publisher has not bothered to make contact of any sort.
Oh well. On to the races!
-
Oh, and while I think of it, my signature her alludes to an incident that happened while in training.
While on the driving range at Ft Knox, one of the lads found an old tree that was still standing. Sort of a "hold my beer and watch this!" sort of moment. One of the instructors thought it would be a good lesson on the power of a tank. Sooooooo, he "suggested" that the best way of taking said tree down was to just roll up to it. Then, after making contact, gun the engine and just push it over. Easy, right? Well, one of the lads in the driver's seat must have had his Dumb Ass light strobing madly away. Instead of doing as suggested, wanted to try hitting it at full speed, thinking that he would knock it clear into next week. :thud:
He charged in, grinning like the proverbial Cheshire Cat .... sorry Mary ..... and struck the tree going full bore. Or, as fast as he could go in the muddy ground of Kentucky. Needless to say, the tree leaned a bit but didn't give. Brought the tank to a sudden and rather painful ... for the driver .... stop. As I said, we could see his head sticking out of the OPEN :nopanic; driver's hatch. Wasn't using the seat belt (?) that was on offer. I know, seat a seat belt in a tank? and only for the driver? :lostme: In any case, he ended up almost literally taking a bite of the armor plate. Spent the next couple of months in hospital and had to recycle in order to finish the training.
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Hey guys! It's in low 80's here, a little rain every morning just before daylight. Pleasant weather? Every evening we also get thunder boomers, tornado warnings, fire warnings, FIRES around the hood. Etc.
I've been enjoying the cats. Mogwai has about got his mojo back, still don't lift the tail much but does move it around while down. He runs, gallops, jumps and plays. Enough so that Tattoo hisses at him. Then, just like Cleve's two, these will be piled up sleeping all over each other, snoring. Or is that purring? It's funny. :)
-
Hey Hipshot, makes ya wonder how some of those guys even graduate their schools! Boot camp. I figure everyone has at least ONE per company, right? We had a really high strung little guy, went spastic if something, ANY thing changed from what he expected. Like on the firing line, with an M1911A1 (.45 automatic). Some THING surprised him, he spun with .45 loaded, ready and safety OFF to face the firing line coach squarely and with said ready weapon at a wonderful angle of about 45°. Caused weapon to discharge. The Firing Line Coach now has 3 souvenirs from that day. A blue Coast Guard ball cap with a burnt hole in the bill, powder burns on his face and a pair of shorts full of brown stuff. But he lived to tell about it. The high strung fella from Ohio was a civilian that afternoon, aboard a bus, back to Ohio. So. SOME don't make it. Some shouldn't! :thud: Somehow, we avoided having one aboard the ship! Even though we were Coast Guard, we were still an armed military vessel. A 5" .38 dual purpose GUN may seem just a pop gun next to a 16" Naval RIFLE... but it makes a 327' High Endurance Cutter shudder and dust come down from places ya didn't know were there. And if fired at its maximum deflection of 45° a standard ball shot will land approximately fifteen miles later. If it doesn't hit something substantial first. That is 30,000 yards or 15 nautical miles. Around 5 seconds. I dood it! LOL! Why? To track the round on radar of course! Actually, to locate the splash on surface search radar. WHY?! Skipper said to! ;o)

:tearlaugh: somedays the short list of things to do is just a bit off :tearlaugh:
-
Oh yeah. For some strange reason, we had more than our fair share of the 8Balls handing about. And to make matters worse, some of them were officers - butterbars - officers to be. It was fun being at Ft Knox as a regular duty station in support of the Armor School. :woohoo: Got to play with all sorts of fun toys. Even got to play with a Soviet T-55 MBT. Typical Russian gear. So dead simple an ape with a couple of monkeys could successfully crew it. They had to be short little f*ckers as anyone sitting in the driver's seat over 4 or so feet tall could see over the front slope with the seat all the way down.
Had one of our butterbars attempting to drive one - standard tranny with a VERY substantial clutch mechanism - and stalled it out going up hill. 2Lt DumbJohn then lets it roll backward and lets out the clutch. Needless to say, the engine was running backwards for a good bit. 12 cyl diesel. The air intakes were INSIDE the fighting compartment. Next moment, the interior is full of fumes and the guys - all 2Lts - were attempting to bail out of the moving vehicle. Luckily, there was a small draw just behind it that stoped that rampaging beast. :puah: :cry2:
-
Hi Fafnir, Noshoba, HipShot!
HipShot, that term 'butterbar' was heard a few times back in the when. Forgot about it though. We had one, I don't recall his name. Was an Ensign Junior Grade, about to be passed over a third time...and out. He was given the bridge on one midwatch. Skipper felt there was little he would be able to do to foul up. Hey we were some 100 miles out, slowly making out way out of patrol grid toward Home at end of Patrol. Relief was already contacted and affirmed. 5 weeks out, we were sure ready to get IN. Our duty officer honestly did NOT know how to navigate. Not by 'astrogation' (sextant dammit!), dead reckoning, or just reading a damn map. WITH directions drawn on it! Bo'suns, Quartermasters, Radarmen and even a Fireman offered directions, hinted instructions and all absolutely correct. He refused all. AND when sitting inside CIC and being able to hear people talking. Not on the ship! Me, my Senior Watch PO and a very concerned Quartermaster Of The Watch quickly determined exactly where we were. Well, this Ensign JG had us in some Mud Flats, just east of the actual shore...mud SHOALS....shallows.... we had a 12.5 foot draft! I looked at my watch Senior said "Wake the skipper, tell him where we are?" He just said "DO IT!". SO down the hollow main mast I went 2 decks to the Kitchen, scared old 'Ski the head cook and off to the Captains Cabin. And rapped on his door till he hollered WHAT THE HELL IS IT! "We are IN some Mud Flats sir, verified by Parris Island AS radio beacon Sir!" Was the only time the Skipper took his Chair in pajamas and robe. We made sure he had plenty of excellent COFFEE! I never saw that Ensign JG again. Captain skillfully eased us backward out of the flats, and into safe channel water again. That was scarier than the hurricanes popping up! Later, the Captain came into CIC in khaki's, did a 'Whew!' wiping his brow and said "That was a close one! Thanks Mac, George, Bill!" Yessir!
A 2000 ton ship would be a mite hard to get out and push out of the mud yaknow ;o)
-
Mornin all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked prime rib with all the trimmings
-
Morning..another fun day in Chucktown working with a narcissist.
-
Good morning guys!
It seems we are launched for a full sunny day.
-
Hey Noshoba! That was just 43 years ago, and we heard a couple guys fishing. Me and George tried to think it was Jarhead recruits training at Parris Island MCTU, but...nope. Still way too far away for that.Woulda looked pretty good on paper though huh! ;o)
-
Good Afternoon to all......
Right now it's 40 degrees and we have frost warning out for tonight....needless to say I spent the morning covering as much yard stuff as I could cover so they don't get frostbite LOL...
And the birds must know something is coming....I filled both birdseed feeders to the brim this morning...and both are almost empty. Granted....30% of the seed lands on the ground...but the pigeons, Blue Jays, Ravens, and Rocky the Racoon take care of that mess.
Anyway...been busy getting the externals organized so I can continue with our backup schedule. I wanted to wait till all was working right....but not sure when that will be so I might as well save what I can now and hope for the best.
As for OZ....He's whinny, talkative, demanding, cute, fun and lovable...even when he chews on my toes to wake me up...though every now and then he'll chew a wee bit to hard and goes flying in the air....but folks...cats DO land on their feet.... :java: Ahhhhhh
-
Hello McG...
Amused..normally avoid that NFT crap..but when bundle comes in a dollar less than the only 2 things in it I wanted lol. Extra 30 % off because I already had 2 of the items.. Cant say no to that lol.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin....I'm outta here also.....got one more place to visit and then it's bye bye time...until tomorrow...
-
Once again, everybody's hitten the sack and I'm still up. OH well.
McG. Never had the pleasure being a more land bound fella. Although while in the Engineers I did have a bit of fun in the water. Had a few of those trucks that turn into bridges with but a litte prep. AS for myself, I stayed in either my AVLB bridge tank or the Combat Engineer Vehicle. I feel much more comfortable on dry land. Especially after my dumb ass driver got my tank stuck in a pond all the way up to the turret ring. He wanted to rinse off the tracks of all the mud and wasn't in a mood to listen. So he just drove in and damn near drowned himself.
-
HipShot:Heh! Did he at least have the lame excuse of being drunk? Uhhh well I've done my own share of dumb azz :thud: things.
Being highly allergic to !PAIN!, I do things more thoughtfully these days. :woohoo:
Was very happy to Thank God for taking care of me a number of times, actually. I still find it incredible to see me sitting here now, in my mid 60's, alive! And mostly self-ambulatory even! Occasionally, I recall having heard in the background "Yep HE is the proverbial dumb-ass Kid In The Guard!".
-
Good morning guys!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good morning to all.....
Thanks for the coffee Fafnir.....going to need it today.....
And it looks like all the plants survived last nights artic blast....so that is a good thing....
And now to get the day started with a :java: and some :java: to go along with the :java:
Ahhhhhh
-
:thumb_up: Great for plants! But keep an eye on them during next days.
-
Yes indeed....got the coverings nearby since I do not trust any forecasts by weather folks....LOL....and the cats like laying on them so it's a win win. I have cover anchors and the cats have a mattress of sorts...
-
Good Morning,
Well it looks like I am getting a new air-conditioner this year, that will set me back some. After 21 years of using it you can't be upset over this. At lease my air-conditioner won't cost as much as one like my sister got, which was over 9,000.00 dollars, but she live in a 4 bedroom house, my one bedroom is a money saver compared to hers.
This will set me back on setting up the sans system I wanted to build since all I need is a server cabinet and cables for the for the fiber switches. So what I will do in the mean time is put up this odd ball Dell server I have with Window Server 2016 O/S and hook this old EMC DAE 345 in and use it until I have the funds to complete the sans project.
Now it is time for some think drink aka coffee. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
-
That is a very long time for AC to last.....so as you said....you can't complain about it passing on.....
-
My previous one did 13 years but then again this is a two story three bedroom so yep very cool to get any appliance to last that long.
-
Good morning, Coffee Shop residents. You're up and about earlier than some. Must be Fafnir's girl's coffee.
... So what I will do in the mean time is put up this odd ball Dell server I have with Window Server 2016 O/S and hook this old EMC DAE 345 in and use it until I have the funds to complete the sans project.
Just short of 2000 holes in that one, M-C. Probably don't want it on the Internet:
https://www.cvedetails.com/product/34965/Microsoft-Windows-Server-2016.html?vendor_id=26
-
Thanks for the Heads Up on Windows Server 2016 especially when my router is a Cisco 1841 with a wireless card I do use enterprise grade software for security on my computers now but there are a few hackers now that can still get in right now it looks like a group from Asia is hitting me I think they ethical hackers. I ping them and made a scan found out who they are Global Net Information Co LTD. a company based in Japan.
Maybe I look into Ubuntu in to the system today or tomorrow, maybe look in to Red Hat O/S too, prices really are not that bad for an operating system compared to others out there. From there I will flash a new O/S into the server best time is now before I start storing files on the server.
Will post more in the computer section under storage and server. Later on today or tomorrow.
-
Damn. I can see that I need to learn more about computers. However, my home system works just fine, so I'll leave well enough alone.
For once, its a good day, here in Killeen. Don't need to get the submarine out of drydock. Not raining. For once. Nice sunny day. Have to take Aliene to work in a bit so think I'll nip over to Fafnir's for some of that good coffee.
:java:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Wonder-mous you sent the rain my way in central Florida.
I felt it coming mind you since I became sensitive to low pressure system since I was told I now get to carry asthma around for a while as luggage.
And surprised we are not here it comes in buckets, pails and barrels :rainy:
-
all we got over here in my neck of the woods was a small sprinkle and we need the rain bad my ears are sensitive to pressure changes so i know when low/storms are coming
-
Well, it stopped well short of being something to write home about that is quite apparent.
Damn, for as nasty as I have been feeling for the last three days I was expecting something a bit more
Boring ... :o_go_on:
-
Hey I think you guys have all sent the weather my way. Its just got really dark and cold plus the sky looks like its about to unload on us
-
Never ... would we do such a thing to such a sweet young lady like thee ... honest ... why does no one believe me :thud:
-
You know what happens when cats get water dumped on them right? :cat13:
-
Which is why I would never do such a thing to thy noble self ... 'what do I look like ... suicidal ... not'
-
Which is why I would never do such a thing to thy noble self ... 'what do I look like ... suicidal ... not'
LOL No comment :3flower;
-
Yet they do say that suicide is painless. Wet kitties are just not fun. Although I have heard that they are good at cleaning the toilet. *snicker*
And McG. Said lad was not drunk. Just near terminally stupid.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready rye rum and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops shrimp and king crab legs with melted butter
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the :java:. Three rainy days in a row is enough to make me sense a caffeine deficiency. I'll work to remedy that.
-
Morning... Fafnir the place is turning into a cat cafe...lol
-
Good morning guys!
-
Good Morning to all...... A very nice day out....though it's still only 51 degrees out right now....but should warm up to 60 or so before to long.
Got the yard work all done yesterday....only took 4 hours this time....which is a record.....but all looks nice....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....tis needed....and then some....
And now to see what is what and who is why and where.....and then go back go my External files sorting and deleting....
No plans for Memorial Day...but I hope all enjoy theirs....
-
Excellent end of day guys

Have a good rest, Aelin.

Good Morning,
Hi Fafnir. Roasted Pork sounds really good will hold off breakfast to have pork. Coffee sounds fine.
Hope everyone's day will go well. Happy Memorial Day.
-
Good Morning to all......
Tis a beautiful day out....
I guess I do have company coming over today. Mindy has to work so Travis and Taylor are stopping by. They asked if there was anything special going on in Green County for Memorial Day....and only Albany has any events going on.... It's called Yesteryears.... I use to have to dress up as a 1800's bartender for that one...plus the girls marched in the parades, and then I cooked the chicken for the VFW along with calling Bingo....Fun times. The VFW here in Monroe does none of that....
OH WELL.....We'll see what we can do when they get here. We do have the bike trail and walking paths...but I'm sure Taylor would be bored in 10 seconds :thud: She live by the woods so it's like "Old Hat" to her.
One quick :java: and I'll say....ENJOY YOUR DAY...
-
You din't get it all Dreamer! Some of that wetness drifted up a few thousand feet and settled into this area. Needed it too. Been raining every day a little bit for near two weeks. BiL said it's raining cats n dogs out there at 3am. Naaah, just a nice steady medium rain. Nice for sleeping! :)Then daylight, and it all stopped. Oh, lunch time! Lessee, what can I nuke today:? ;o) heh heh!
-
Hope you have a good time with your visitors!
I'm so thankful for our veterans. I do particularly remember my family and friends who were lost serving their country on Memorial Day. For those of you still with this: thank you!

I'll mainly be busy the afternoons of the week in June, you'll see me for sure the evenings and weekends. Perhaps the Friday afternoons too. So no, I don't disappear because the nurse is trying to eat me :iminnocent:
-
Just saying that Kianna is not cannabalistic in any way shape form or fashion, please do not scare the patients, err ... inmates, err ... denizens, err ... members .. yes members that is the right word, ... by spreading such scurrilous lies about such a sweet young lady.
-
Sweet?...-chokes in the snickers as he opens the mongoose cages.
-
What pray tell would thou need a mongoose for ... :whatthe: :shrug:
-
for Kianna's snaketacles that she has for hair
-
Secretary birds were an option too.. Pity Ken hasn'tdone that one yet..
-
yes they would work well
-
:sigh: You lot all get worked up over naught, remember those be tentacles made of bone and are in no way shape form or fashion snakes
then again I have said that more then once and the rumors still persist :shrug:
-
But KEN has done Kingfishers, Roadrunners, Kookaburras, Hawks and Eagles. Oh, and also Chickens! All the aforesaid birds DO eat SNAKES! Since Snaketacles do so resemble SNAKES; well there ya GO! A now bald Kianna! With red festering sore spots where those SNAKETACLES used to be! BWAHAhahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! :haha: :heeheehee: :OMFG: :yippee: :tearlaugh: :(ROFLMAO: :funny: :nurse:

So when a bird shows up all hungry does she run and hide, J? :ifonly: :thud:
-
You guys are just mean. How can you speak thusly of such a lovely young lady?
*I smell brownie points in the offing*
Such beauty, such pizazz . . . such ....?
A little too much perhaps?
-
Very much so..and speak of the devil...Ken gets a VOM sale going at Rendo. Timing is everything lol.

:tearlaugh:
-
Good afternoon guys!
We are here running between thunderstorms. One passed just like I was back home. Now, we wait for the other threatening.
Mini Forecast Weather said nothing, proof he is comfortable here :grenade:
I see the nurse kept you busy today :ifonly:

Excellent end of day guys!

Hey guts I need a bit of help trying to find something. Been hunting all over the 'net without luck.
I am trying to find a plowed field or something that would work as one, could have sworn there was a free one out there that had a ground plane with the furrows and some plants but no dice.
Any one got any ideas please?

Thanks, neither are what I sorta remember but thats fine, the first I am not sure if it would work in DS/Poser seems to say it needs something else.
The Meshbox one is a bit lacking in detail but might do as a fall back

I've used both of the corn fields from DAZ for something that I believe is similar:

'Afternoon all. Finally got my internet sorted out. Service provider gonna have to pony up a few bucks as it was their issue not mine. I pay a chunk of cash for fast unlimited internet and 8.7 Mbps is not fast. 555 Mbps is more like it. I have no idea how long there have been problems with the switch in the electrical room but I noticed it about three weeks ago so I wanted a month service credited. It will be on the next bill.

Good deal PDG! I would consider either speed FAST about now. Gonna have to get an actual ISP it seems. This phone stuff ain't doing it!
-
Dreamer if you haven't found that field, check out Dante78's stuff at Rosity. Medieval Farm has 2 plowed fields. His stuff is usually pretty inexpensive, and always full of details!
-
Good morning guys!
I don't think I know a free field like you wish Dreamer.
Dante78 has always plenty stuff in his products that's true. But I found too I had to "break" one of his medieval market once, because I didn't want to load each time everything in the scene. But it's doable.
With such fields, could be fast
Glad to hear you found from where the problem came PDG.

McG: I can assure you that my vision is quite acceptable. And I even have the glasses from VA to prove it. Can I help it that I like to see the inner beauty of the feminine(?)persuasion? And you must admit that our lovely nurse Kianna is a prime example of this.

Thanks Aelin, I have a feeling what I am remembering is actually something that was for sale at Daz but has been removed from store now, I have eyed Dante78's stuff a fair bit just never quite put it in the shopping cart lol
-
Hip I think you had too many tank rounds go off by your head and gave you a permanent concussion on that issue...
And yeah had a feeling you would do that Dreamer.
-

I have 4 or 5 packs from Dante78, but I admit I use them few, because the comp is always astonished by the polygons :tearlaugh:
Yes Daz has removed a lot of "old" stuff those last months. And apparently few products for Genesis 3 are considered like "old" too :thud:
-
Mine is liking all those polygons just fine now, thank YOU! LOL! I got phones that are way more powerful than my old laptops. No kidding! Octal core, 8 gigs ram, 64 gigs internal storage and a 128 gig micro SD card.
My LG Stylo 6 is stylin' people! :woohoo:
-
And yeah had a feeling you would do that Dreamer.
You know me too well lol
-
Well you are a better modeller than I. Plus you get to that point and go the heck with it and make it yourself.

I don't know if mine would be astonished with a lot of polygons or not lol.
Most of the old stuff they have pulled I already had but this was something newer, turns out the vendor has gone to their own site and its more for gaming than anything
-
Well you are a better modeller than I. Plus you get to that point and go the heck with it and make it yourself.
Well a plowed field is not really complex lol
-
Cant argue that. Considering amount of equine stuff out there would have expected to find a freebie.
-
I think I have that Dante78 product somewhere on an external or a backup. I really have to sort through that stuff one day.
Thanks Aelin. Glad I got it figured out. F1 time again this weekend and while I could catch the race itself on TV, it's all the Sky Sports F1 coverage of the three days themselves I want and have to get via VPN from Britain.
No mobile devices McG. Landline with them BIG buttons with the numbers on 'em. Little line of 5 speed dials that I don't know the numbers for. 1 for the Bank. 1 for the Doc. 1 for my buddy Ed's cell. 2 blank. I don't call anyone and no one calls me. I went through the entire 80's and a good piece of the 90's with no phone of any type.
-

Skylab made plow poses for Mil Horse and several male figures years ago. But no one made free field after that.
-
Yeah I often feel like Ben Grimm as The Thing trying to make a phone call and his finger covers most of the buttons. Grrr!
-
I got a lot of his stuff, a lot of DM's, RedHouse, Stonemason, but I need to get down and make some stuff myself!
Dreamer, you keep at it! You doing GOOD gal! :D
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin
-
Fields are entirely too easy when you are as careless with polys as I am. Needed a hoophouse a few weeks back. Try and find that as a freebie. Made it in about 10 minutes. Took me an hour and a half though to get a decent procedural IR destroyed clear polytarp shader without making a damage (scratch/crease) mask.
-
'Night Aelin
-
Nosh, I have had many a tank round go off beside me head. They were all sent on to their ultimate destinations, thank you. The only ones that were addressed to "Whom it may concern" went to other vehicles. Mine was one of the lucky ones. A couple of the others . . . . not so much. And believe it or not, it is quite quiet INSIDE the tank when a round goes off. Was it my fault that I got kicked out of that UFO years ago? And landing on me noggin din help a bit.
-
test render for that damnable polytarp. other textures are just placeholders.
-
Looks good PDG, what do you use to make textures?
-
Math.
Seriously.
I use procedural where possible. P12 has no micropoly displacement in Cycles/Superfly yet so I don't paint many maps. If I have to; I use Paint.net. Built into Win10. That does diffuse and I generate any others I need from them. I had a subscription to Substance but let it lapse as I wasn't getting enough use out of it to justify the subscription cost when it came due.

Ah ok :) I just got a perpetual licence for Substance Painter and its the best money I have ever spent on software, been having an absolute blast with it and the things I can come up with

Like all things Adobe; all the bells and whistles are there blowing loudly but you pay for it regularly. I think the Substance suite of tools is really good. Same maps for DS, Poser, or anything else you want to render. For years I've been trying to explain to people that iRay and Cycles render exactly the same using the same maps. I just gave up. We know better than the unwashed masses prostrating before their 3D goddess of choice.
-

Sure. Best bell or whistle there is. Layers. It's all I really need. I have the whole Adobe Creative Suite set of software from about 10 years ago and the machine it was on died. Never got to re-installing it on something new and there are a lot of built-in tools in W10 that work good enough for me.
-

Mornin folks. Double the coffee and halve the 40 Creek. It was a late night. Screw it. Double the 40 Creek and halve the caffine. It's raining and I'm not going anywhere.
-
Morning.. And yep. Has plenty of addons ,just picked and chose what I actually knew that I was going to make use of. Have CS6 just didnt even bother loading it back on when I went back to desktop. Saw no point. Havent put Filter Forge back on yet and it works with paint.net so why bother with photoshop.

Exactly! I use the built in 3d object tools including the 3D paint and the W10 Video Editor. It takes 3D objects and can combine them with all the usual video editing tools and effects that I didn't make use of in Premiere though I couldn't do without them at one time. Or so I thought.
-
Good afternoon guys!
We are between thunderstorms again.
-
Stay safe Aelin.....
Wish we would get more rain...we need it.....but it IS a beautiful day out today......and we have a nice breeze.....and no humidity....
Been busy with appointments..... Now that the mask Mandate has been lifted here in Wisconsin everyone at the clinic want's to see me LOLOL...
Oh well, that's a good thing I guess...though you DO still have wear a Mask in the Clinic...which makes sense....somewhat.....
And now to see what is what and who is why and when is where.....with :java: in hand
-
SO Win 10 has something useful for 3D?

I wont use anything that I have to pay for every month, why I was glad to see Substance painter still had the perpetual licence available on Steam. Ok so I dont have access to Substance Source but with all the free stuff on Substance Share I dont need it :grenade: [size=78%] [/size]
-
Going to have to check out the rest of the goodies in W10. Haven't paid that much attention to it since I was quite happy with what I had. Now you got me checking out other avenues. Thanks guys!!!!!
:deal:
-

Me neither. Part of why I am still using PSP X, CS4Extended, and so on. You got me curious as all get out about Substance Painter. And you're right on about the perpetual license on Steam. I've had Steam now as long as I've had Half-Life 2 Deathmatch running. Back in the day, the founder/CEO of Valve (and Steam) would talk with us as individuals. Too many people now, worldwide, for him to sort us oldsters out. Gabe Newell.
OK it's off to see what kinda trouble I can get into with Substance Painter now. Update? Where?
-
Hey Hipshot, look in your pop out thingie and go down the list to Paint 3D. That is a neat start!
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready there is 40 Creek, rum, bourbon, and rye too. The girls made biscuits and bacon and for later on there will be grilled steaks with corn on the cob and tater wedges
-
A shoppe after my own heart. Coffee, 40 Creek, tater wedges. Gonna be a good day.
-
Hey Hipshot, look in your pop out thingie and go down the list to Paint 3D. That is a neat start!
3D object viewer is a good tool. No need to load up Poser or some other hog of a modeling program just to check out an obj file. I just stuck the tools I use in a desktop folder. Well the shortcuts for them. No need to play hollywood squares with the operating system interface and everything is close by when I want it.
-
Be back later. Ed is here to take me for groceries. Stay at home order finally ended for me on Tuesday after a year and a half. Well there was a 9 day stretch just before Christmas that it was dropped, and about 2 and a half weeks last summer; but senior shopping is still a thing so away I go.
-
Good morning guys!
I inverted for once hamsters' time with the internet. Because the weather is uncertain. And because I went to the "brocante" we have monthly - at least when places selling clothes (which is also their case) can be opened :sure:
I found just one book, a old one, but I heard words in other books on it since years. It's "The Kon-Tiki Expedition" by Thor Heyerdahl.
-
Good Morning folks! I'd bet even J don't have a copy of that one, Aelin. Nice find! :grenade:
-
Thank goodness it's F R I D A Y ! ! ! :woohoo:
I have some more new toys to play with now, it's like Christmas around here!
-
Good Morning folks! I'd bet even J don't have a copy of that one, Aelin. Nice find! :grenade:
Regrettably I do not but I have heard of and read excerpts previously, followed his exploration exploits for a while in my youth.
-
The cool part is that it is available in paper back or hard back would have to order it but it is still out there
-
Well finally the afternoon internet time was shorted few after I posted my previous message :tearlaugh:
-
And J still doesn't have your book Aelin! YET! LOL!
Unfortunately I don't have a house of my own, so my storage space is precious. I have a very few of my all time favorite books is all. Snif. :sadder: :OMFG: :student: :rave:
-
Heyerdahl also sailed from Oslo to Nova Scotia in a Norse Longship, to prove it could be done. Kon Tiki was harrowing, I mean, sailing from China to Hawaii in an outrigger canoe.
Wow!
Good reads Jherr reccy'd.
Cheers

When he will have it, it's possible I didn't yet start mine. I'm still only on the second of the 4 books full of the history. In the middle of Roman Empire, 2 centuries before it collapsed.
It's also interesting to see that during a long time, because of Pline, the Vesuve eruption was linked to August 79. It was what the book said, as well as what I learnt in 90's when I was to the first part of the High School (because in second part we never saw Pompei again). And finally it seems the eruption was in October 79.
I have more space for books than in previous flat, yet, I have to put books in all directions for they are on the shelves :tearlaugh:
And I can just buy those from occasion now, so only a slow go. Because the first book (in English, like they make ads they can have them, because of the numerous English people living around) I asked to the local book shop? "Oh, no sorry, we can't have it". Ok, it was weird, but why not.
I asked 2 months ago for another book. In French, published in France, new and available. I went 6 times to see if they had the book; 6 times they had different excuses "Editors are buying each other, it's the reason", "The first time it was ordered it was wrongly made", "I haven't it yet, but I'm waiting for 6 boxes of that editor"... and I pass on the rest. That last excuse was strange, like it's a little editor and if you don't know it, you don't see it in a book shop, except in bigger towns.
Monday was the 7th time to see if the book was here or not. The vendor started "it's not here, that's weird". I said stop, to cancel the command, and that they could not count on my money in the future. Not a single cent. I don't like somebody wants to decide what I can read or not, because it's obviously the case. And they made the same thing for 2 people before me, one with a partial command and the other not a single book arrived.
They believe they are indispensable for all of us because they are the only book shop in town. Sorry, wrong idea.

The Kon Tiki expedition I know was from Peru to Tahiti (even if at first I was sure it was until Easter Island) :lostme: I know there were more in Pacific Ocean, maybe you are talking from another?
I'm not surprised he did also in Northern Sea. Like it seems Vikings made until Canada, it was totally possible.
-
Good afternoon to all.....
Finally have time to get online. So many things to get done...so little time to complete them.....
Hope all are doing fine. We finally have some Spring time weather...well, more like Summer...upper 80's...low 90's
But I've been enjoying it a little at a time.
Thanks for the call Fafnir....Always great chatting with you my friend...
And now to grab a :java: and take a tour.....then back to the files :thud:
-
You have the time for files.
-
The Wikipedia page on Heyerdahl has a lot of good details.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl

Aelin, Peru to Tahiti that's right. memory is such a fasc..... what was I typoing?

I still lived out east back then. It held great interest due to https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/nl/meadows (https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/nl/meadows) being discovered close to my home. People didn't like hearing about pre Columbus visitation of the New World for some reason. Yeppers read The Kon Tiki Expedition and saw the documentary that was released at the time. South America to Polynesia National Geographic I seem to recall, but I'm old and subject to brain fade.
-
There are so many points in history they don't like to think again even with nose on :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin...seems Rendo pulled a Daz and screwed up that 50% off coupon they posted..lol.
-
It might have been Thor's son that did the journey, but it fascinated me that one could travel from scandanavia to the americas in sight of land the whole trip. Save for one "cookie-tossing", a reasonably uneventful trip. that "star-stone" used for navigation still fascinates me. Cheers
-
Have a great night Aelin.....I think I'm heading out also....got stuff that needs to get done....
-
an Irish priest/monk also sailed to America/Canada too Brenaden if i remember right
-
Actually, I think it was St Brendan. If I'm not mistaken. But, how could one sail from Scandinavia to the Americas in sight of land all the way? I would think that the Iceland gap would sort of preclude that. Hmmmmmm.
-

Ya can't.
I've crossed both ways many times, in and out of the main shipping channels. Polar ice cap would be the only way to traverse without losing sight of "land" and with the changing climate; even that is becoming debatable. The Northern Passage is barely freezing any longer and there are people passing through almost year long now.
-
Tim Severin did the St. Brendan voyage to the new world in a contemporary vessel in '76. A currach.
-
I haven't got the book on the voyage of St Brenden yet but will have it soon I did read about it in Nat Geo tho and the currach is more sea worthy than most people think
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready there is 40 Creek, rum, rye, and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill with all the fixings
-
Good morning guys!

You tell em Aelin.....
The LAST thing any clerk at a STORE should ever do, no matter their gender, is to make a woman mad at them. Plus, Aelin is a wonderful Lady who always does kind things for other people. And never asks for any kind of payment. Do Not Piss Her Off! The rest of US are on HER side! GRRRRR!!!!! Also, we can always have Jherrith send "Da NURSE!" over to, er, smile at them. In Person. Heh!

How did you now that Kianna had already booked a flight to go visit said rude and despicable store clerk to show her the pictures in the good book :iminnocent:
-
Crossing from Scandinavia to North America "back then" would have been easier as it was at the end of the 'little ice age'. More land was above water, as more water was in ice. THEN TOO: the historians, academicians who believe they are little g gods of information, decided their very own little selfs for the WORLD that their version of history is correct. Even when solid evidence is offered many times that their data is in error. The Norsemen (Vikings) did use sun stones to navigate on cloudy days. And not only Vikings landed far earlier than Lief Eric the Red, and further South than realized. Chinese expeditions DID find the WEST coast hundreds of years before Columbus. To be honest, I believe "our" histories have been grossly Anglicised. In lay language that'd be WHITEWASHED. Am I wrong|?One of the people that have been making similar noise concerning History, a Scott (somebody), fancies himself a "Forensic Geologist". Problem with that is there is no such doctorate. But the guy does bring in some good points, and does way more for archaeology than geology. I may not like HIM but I respect the data IF it's accurate. And for the most part, those shows on Discovery and Science channels tend to be accurate. BUT that is just ME, ok?
-

Eh hem, although she is a passable sculptor she does not have the ability to turn anyone into a statue by looking at them. You have her confused with someone in an ancient Greek myth
-
Well she doesn't have a serpents tail for legs! Dunno bout them eyes and hissing wiggly things on her roof neither! See THEM coming, best to flee the other way. Although metinks that HipShot will just become a pork chop ;o) :thud:
ANYWAY - the idea is to rattle the mean weenie running Aelin's bookstore. Say, you got Amazon.com in France don't you?
-
Good Morning to all......
Seems to be a good day to get out and get things done so I'll be doing my posting and then gone for the rest of the day. I'll do my posting in our social places later on....at least that's the plan for now.
Hope your day is a weather worthy day also....
And now to grab a Fafnir :java: and see what is what....
-

well me oh my. I just ordered groceries from Walmart.com again. They still won't deliver to my address. But they are faster at getting groceries ready for pickup. I go get mine at noon today. At least it isn't for tomorrow! I just hope they have all the odd little items I wanted. Like the Sugar Free Menthol Cough drops. DIET Mountain Dew. The regular is terrible now that I quit SUGAR! I LIKE having my glucose in the 130 to 138 range all day and week long. Yeah! That's a safe average. But no 20 oz bottles. Just 16.7 oz. And what's up with them not letting me have a case of whatever flavor of Ramen Noodles I want! GAH!
Anyway, will find out when I get back after lunch. :)
-
It's June and the temp is still in the 60's. Normally it's in the 90's already. Hopefully we are a bit past freezes and snow for the while!

I buy nothing by internet.

Around here they have USP 'drop boxes', and some Amazon ones too. You could order online and pickup down at the store somewhere.

To have the pack "lost" by La Poste? Or Mondial Relais? Or Relais Colis? Or any other joke? No thank you. The usual letters, or Christmas packs are already lucky when they arrive at home.
And besides, I don't have a card made to buy on the web. Not desire to change that fact. Money and bank checks are enough.
-
Your grabbing Fafnir's what :tearlaugh:
The stuff you don't drink LOL....
-
yes the Chinese did sail to the west coast long before the raider/ pillager Columbus and the Vikings were here too we also got the sweet potatoe from south America and other voyages for trade
-

We had a frost warnings last week and now it's 81 degrees but we are suppose to get to 90 degrees sometime today....Talk about extremes LOLOL
-
Yup, seen two feet of snow here in May one year. It'd been in the 80's, not much rain. Then one night, the sky just went FLOMP! Wake up to FEET of snow, not inches. LOL! It's a pleasure knowing that is the rarest of things too!
-
Scott WOLTER is that guys name. He invented the title "Forensic Geologist". Pah! He's pretty good at Presenting on shows, and at Archaeology. Might be a Geologist too, but forensic just don't fit that to me.
I was actually excited to learn that Chinese, Polynesian from at least three eras in the Pacific and a number of South American and Mexican explorers had already come, settled, then gone long before the Europeans waded over. It also raised my eyebrows when I see some modern Archaeologists going about unearthing strange and fantastic ancient sites in Brazil and other South and Central American countries. And that they found Egyptian pottery and metal items was great. Three episodes later they determined they were trade goods, not from Egyptian/Arabic visitors per se. Still someone made a nice long round trip to leave all that in the jungles!
-
there were many sea voyages made by folks from other countries that we know little about and can only guess who and when they were made and the Polynesians navigated by stars and waves among other things
-
Hope you all have a great day....I'm off to post to our winners up in various places and then continue on with my never ending chore....
S O R T I N G F I L E S
I'll stop in later on. I was going to get some stuff done outside but to damn humid this time of day....I'll wait till later on....Unlike Florida, our humidity goes away later in the day.....LOL

yea but we don't freeze our B _ _ _ _ off either

So true that, Fafnir! I got lucky, bro in law came over, he helped me get groceries in. He brought em in and I put em away! :D It's only 77F here, but it's dry, BRIGHT and so CLEAR now. Its welcome after all the rainy days!
-
Stayed hot enough and dry enough to get all my work done and get a tetnus shot for putting a nail through my foot..whee.. Then the T-storms rolled in..
-
Excellent end of day guys!

hey Nosh watch them nails a good soak in Epsom salts might help the soreness hope it feels better soon

We have Fathers Day coming up. Sometimes I think we need to have a Brother-In-Law day too. :)

That would be nice to have. But, I'll settle for daddy's day.
Had some hellacious rain here last night. Came back from dropping ALiene off at work and the sky opened up on us while at Subway. Literally. It was coming down so hard that water had all but flooded the parking lot. Like Biblical type flood. Got into my Baja, brought it in passenger door to sidewalk so Connie could get in, then backed in so son could put walkers in rear before making a run for it. Coming down so hard that my wipers were doing little to no good ... at high setting! Got to the house and had to wait for a few so we could see our way to the front door. Finally got out and made a run . . . actually a fast walk . . . . for it. Finally got inside, looking like a trio of drowned rats. Clothes had to go into the dryer while the shoes were set aside to dry as well.
-
All good Fafnir... didnt go that deep. Annoyance was not remembering last time I had a tetnus shot and the lecture on proper footcare. Didnt keep me from finishing my last job first either lol.
-
Noshoba I could show you pictures of MY feet that would change yer thinking on "Foot Care" pronto! They don't look like that NOW, but 4 years ago they looked awful!
Take care of yer ol doggies son, cause if ya lose the foot....they take the entire lower leg with the foot. THAT is what I am struggling mightily to stop in its tracks.
You can get an infection inside the foot that gets to the bone, the bacteria eats the bone away, makes an internal abscess, goes to gangrene and there it all went. Next, you're using an aluminum alloy leg you can put a sock and sneaker on. :[] :OMFG:
Be right careful with them nail guns!
-
Wasnt a nailgun my friend. Was a rotted piece of wood with a rusty nail sticking out of it in all the overgrown grass of an abandoned home next to one I was working on. Had to jump a fence and came down on it. Went right through my hikers. Barely felt it but since it drew blood and punctured needed the shot.
-
Yo Hipshot, that rain is what Fafnir and Jherrith refer to as a Frog Strangler!
Fog. We used to get this pea soup thick stuff down on the Gulf Coast in Texas, and we called it "Damn FAWG!" IF at home, you could look out a ground floor window and not see the ground. And we had to drive in that stuff! Well, some tried to. When it rolled in I just pulled off the road and waited till I could see further than the hood. You run into any of that stuff? Fog like angelfood cake!
-
Oh BOY! I got me a GAME now! One to replace DEFIANCE! and BadMoonRYZEN plows through it over 100 fps! It's called 'No Man's Sky'. It's an open world adventure and exploration game!
-
Good morning guys!
We have a sky with plenty clouds.
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Excellent. Know where I'm spending some time. Bacon? Count me in Fafnir. And as for just grabbing things? Don't even consider it. They might grab back!
Looks like the rain here has finally packed it in for the nonce. No rain at all today. Compared to yesterday, this is like being out in the desert once again. Temps are good and for once, the gods are smiling on me. Started to take Aliene to work and bout five minutes out got a phone call saying that they weren't all that busy - TGIFridays - and that she could have the day off.
:woohoo:
Don't have to go out at Oh Dark thirty in order to pick her up.
Now getting things together for this month's challenge. Images with freebies huh? Great. Have collected said for long time and now to see what can be done with them.
-

Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready 40 Creek rum, rye and bourbon too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow roasted smoked ham with all the trimmings and tater wedges hushpuppies too

Yepper. Ran into that nasty stuff twice. But not in Texas. Once in florids, outside of Melbourne. Trying to make my way back home from work on my motorcycle. Made it halfway home and had to wait. As I did, I saw our car heading in the oppisite direction! I turned around and it turned around to meet in the middle. Apparently Connie was worried about me getting home in the fog and had come to my rescue. The other time was somewhere in Germany, outside of Nuremberg/Furth area. That was indeed your pea soup fog. Had to navigate by watching the surface of the roadways. Almost to the point of getting out a white tipped cane! Like being inside a milk bottle.
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin...hmm been on phone and got a job offer.
-
oohh yeah JOB sounds good! To paraphrase Number FIVE . . . INCOME, need MORE INCOME!
-
Well HipShot, it were my day for a run to the VA and back. Got home, all in pain, left leg, lower back, right shoulder wure killin me! But I got the visit with the Endocrinologist (Diabetic Specialist) and things were, overrall, a bit better than he was expecting. But not as good as I wanted the A1C to be. Sigh. It's a lifelong process, so it is!
-
But the weather was PERFECT today! It was like 75°F, just a few fleecy white clouds out, gorgeous blue sky, a cool breeze. About as perfect a day as we could wish for man. AND we are expecting our first 101°F Wednesday. And a 102 on Thursday. Then cooling for the weekend. Yeah! The rain clouds moved on though. The ol Jeep GC did great, 18 mpg at 70 mph. Gotta get a refrigerant kit for its AC. For the first time ever.
-
Hope you all have a great day....I'm off to post to our winners up in various places and then continue on with my never ending chore....
S O R T I N G F I L E S
I'll stop in later on. I was going to get some stuff done outside but to damn humid this time of day....I'll wait till later on....Unlike Florida, our humidity goes away later in the day.....LOL
OH! I thought you'd said you were "SNORTING files"!!! DOH!
-
I dunno, "snorting" files could be fun
-
I dunno, "snorting" files could be fun
Seconded, that could be fun.
Although the lovely low pressure system in my neck of the woods just aggravated the asthma parts of my life and :whatthe: yep downhill it went, even with the rescue inhaler.
:sigh:
-
That's a bummer, J. I would say "Wanna trade?" But you would be getting the better end of the deal.
-
:woohoo: for my jaunt out to the VA Med Center today. I went on and got my J&J Covid-19 vaccination today, while waiting twixt the skeeters sucking my blood and the Doctors actual appointment. Hey they even offered me "Chair and Escort" when I got there. I accepted. What a relief it was. I felt positively pampered! So I don't get a 2nd shot with the version of vaccine I chose. This one, just like the other one, has a 14 day "incubation" period.
I guess I will hatch in two weeks. :lostme: AND it was a gorgeous day out! By the time all was done and I headed home about 2pm, I was whooped. Got home, no stops or shopping, I made me slow down and fix a small meal for self and get the boys their dinners too. All done, took my meds, stretched out in the sack and konked right out. 4 hrs later I am up and feeling much improved. Just finished a little TV dinner. With a big mug o vegetable juice as my side dish. Excellent meal. :java: :grenade:
-
Rescue inhalers. Meh, take 'em or leave 'em. I just don't like being stuck with that damned nebulizer they gave me. COPD, dontcha know. Both inhaling and exhaling problems. Must have come from suckin' in too many diesel fumes from tanks on the march. That and hiding behind a running tank when its freezing out. Was a good idea to me, at the time.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped grilled pork chops with a side of bacon and other fixings

I get my second AZ shot at 9:15 am today. J and J is approved for use here, but there isn't any. Never has been. Never understood why it was approved when there was no intention of ever importing it. Phizer and Moderna are the majority of shots here. Only a few million of us with AZ. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/prevention-risks/covid-19-vaccine-treatment/vaccine-rollout.html
-
Well actually tried to get my first shot today...glad I asked.. Tetnus shot means I have to wait 14 days before can have the first shot.
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Hi Aelin
-
Well actually tried to get my first shot today...glad I asked.. Tetnus shot means I have to wait 14 days before can have the first shot.
Yeah; noticed the same thing on waivers here today. No vaccines within 14 days and no injection within 7. Don't think that counts for diabetics, but couldn't say for sure. Everybody is worried about being sued over the whole vaccine thing in general. "Not my fault man; you signed the waiver."
Doesn't matter much to me. I just want to go see a band at a bar again after a year and a half. I'm getting the calls again for garage to sound studio conversions and outdoor stage setups. The hippies are sprouting like the mushrooms in the cow patties again. At least this year I won't be sneaking round avoiding COVID Cops by leaving home. They finally lifted that damnable Stay At Home Order for me a few days back. Now just open the damn bars and bring on the dancing girls. I'll go buy non-essentials when they become essential. I don't need a new pair of socks or a floor mat saying "Welcome" now that things are returning to some semblance of sanity.
-
Excellent end of day!

morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked turkey with all the trimmings

Good Morning,
Looks like it will be another mild day high will be 94 f. By next week be in around 114 degrees outside when they install my air conditioner hopefully it will be in the morning before the afternoon heat.
-
Good afternoon guys!
I don't know how much we had, but this morning it was enough for a simple top and a little vest. This afternoon, the vest could stay on the arm (in case the weather changes).
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Greetings one and all. Today is a good day. Yesterday, I got Connie's bow out of layaway so we can work on getting her strong enough to pull it - a sweet little compound - and I paid on my PS VR setup. Will be glad to get that so I can experiment with it. Other than that, life is good. Weather weenies FINALLY decided to have a little mercy on us. No rain in forecase for the next 3-4 days. :woohoo: Had to get another receiver for the Baja. Could only get one channel out of four and the fader doesn't work. At All. Had one that had a DVD/CD player in it. Worked fine . . . when I first bought it ... almost ten years ago when I lived in Ruidoso. Now, not so much. First system of my own that I put in the Baja . . . . after I first got it. Got something a little like it as replacement, just no DVD. or CD. Oh well. Got USB, micro-SD, and BlueTooth for smart phone so alls good.
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be seafood gumbo over rice
-
PDG they asked me if I was insulin dependant. I am, said I'd already had one injection today, three to go. They gave me the vaccine. I chose the J&J because I would not come back for another 14 days later, just to come in next day for a wound care visit. The single dose vaccine is kinda new here.

Looks like everyone here will be getting Phizer in the long run. Our version of the CDC is checking on the mix and match of different vaccines with an eye to supplying mRNA as the second shot to everyone. Not this cat. I kept to the mantra the you go home from the bar with the same person you took there.
-
My mission this am will to be cleaning up yesterdays Window Update. I know it's 23c and Sunny at 6:58. I don't need a little picture on my tool bar to tell me. More importantly, I don't give a crap about the "news" they feel I should be constantly spending my bandwidth on. This is a desktop, not a phone; and I would appreciate it if Mickeysoft would stop treating me like a child that needs his life curated and bubbled from the real world while being entertained by the pretty pictures. Some of them even move. Amazing. No wonder I feel people are getting stupider as time goes by.
-
Damn; break out the 40 Creek with that next coffee Fafnir. I'm getting too excited for this early in the am.
-
No wonder I feel people are getting stupider as time goes by.
Seconded :thumb_up:
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of 40 Creek and coffee
-
Sounds like a good idee. Think I'll try a bit Fafnir. Just hold the 40 Creek.
Alls quiet here in Killeen. Got to take Connie in for an eval at the VA. She busted her elbow a while back and since its healing, needs a bit of PT. Tomorrow is supposed to start the real thing.
Thought I had to take our little Tinkerbelle over to the vet for a checkout. Connie had mixed up the days. So, we got up early for nothing, other than to take a short ride. Its for Fri, not today. OY!!!!
Oh well. At least I'm up and cognizent of the fact.
-
Good morning guys!
So, did you see the eclipse today?
-
No! Missed it. Did you?
-
It was supposed to be at midday, and I'm still at job for 15 minutes at that moment. We had clouds and sun anyway, I saw no difference in the light by the window.
And for us, it was just a tiny part of the Moon, not the Moon itself before the Sun, like for a part of USA.
In fact, it's a colleague to me who learnt me this morning we could have the eclipse too.
-
For pics and updates on the eclipse (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=10703.msg410222#msg410222)
-
:tearlaugh: The colleague was wrong on the France hour for that event. But it didn't matter, we have no more darkness than with a normal sky with clouds. We can't be lucky each time.

I think that is a wise choice, PDG. Not just for the vaccine neither! That worked for me with the bar thing half a millennia ago too. Or izzat century? Whichevah! Better to leave alone than with a different someone.

Naw man, they are just enticing the stupider out of the woodwork looking to make mo $$$ !!!
Kinda like Ch 26 on Max Headroom. Making it illegal to turn off the TV!
-
Helloooo Attic! How y'all today? Me? Fine as hen's teeth! :woohoo:
-
Oh yeah, McG. Had to go to VA today. Connie got her eval, so we're good to go. Have to go back on the morrow for another 'pointment. And to take Tinkerbelle to the vet. Aliene works 12-8, so that makes it even more fun.
Didn't get to see the eclipse. Tad bit cloudy, as well as being inside the VA for a good bit. Now kicked back at home and sippin' on some of Fafnir's :java: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I had a great view of this though there were a few high clouds. Totality (as close as it got) was exactly the same time, 5:40 am; that my plant lighting comes on and 10 minutes after my coffee pot fires up in the morning. Being up and awake for this was no issue.

I can no more find the Chohole's site. And you, can you reach it? :lostme:
-
Excellent end of day guys!

I can no more find the Chohole's site. And you, can you reach it? :lostme:
Is he no longer posting at the DAZ Forums?
-
She. chohole is a woman, and older than us too. Getting bad when the first thing we do when we open the paper is read the obits. sigh.
Should just read the normal hangouts! Aelin: READ THIS! (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/492081/what-has-happened-to-the-site-http-chohole-ovbi-org)
-
According to the DAZ Forum software, she was active at 7 PM (ET) today.
-
Her site, like most sites, simply failed to operate in hard vacuum!
-
Was sure I typed an s before he! Took a look. Nope! Didn't take. Oh well; we all make mistakes. Good to know she is still active.
Would it be possible to ask her about the site?
-
if you follow the link I gave Aelin, that is explained by her in the DAZ forum.
-
Happily, Chohole is still with us! :)

That's always nice to know. We've lost far too many to other, unforeseen, causes

Thank you for the link to the topic, McG! Too bad to learn that. I hope she will find an easy way to have her site back, if she decides to redo it at the end.
I'm glad I took a lot of her free textures, more than what I expect to have like costumes one day, but who knows? But I never took everything.
-
Good Morning To All......
Sorry for being MIA so much but life had other plans for Lorna and I.... Anyway.....Time for a good cup of coffee instead of the stuff I make. The spoon stands straight up in my coffee :tearlaugh:
So Fafnir....you better have a couple of pots going since I got a lot to do in here today..... :java: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh So Good...
-
Your spoon stands? mine dissolves... huh....
8 )
Enjoy your day my fellow inma... errrr... residents 8 )
-
You can actually get your spoon in the cup before it completely dissolves :ummm: wish I could say the same
-
What a hodgepodge my sorting of Poser product turned out to be, thought I had a good system but :shrug: not convinced one tiny little bit since I have found the same thing in no less then four different spots.
Must be suffering from the TL syndrome of download and find out if you have it later, that is if you remember to look for it.
-
You pass probably too much time in our corridors with him :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Gad, that reminds me of my "system". Have it all on a hard drive w DVD backup as needed. Lots of differing files, but still a lot of duplications.
-
You can actually get your spoon in the cup before it completely dissolves :ummm: wish I could say the same
I like my coffee as well as the next guy. I just don't like using it for automotive lubricant. Rather use it to lubricate me. Just as long as it doesn't disolve the spoon or cause said spoon to sit up and bark!!!!!!
-
I make my coffee strong. Spoons tend to run away screaming. Why I drink it as it comes from the pot. It's not named "Death Wish" for fun 8 )
Cheers and Good Morning!
-
One of my favorite comments on decaf:
-
my coffee mug has a titanium liner to contain my coffee
-
Decaf? You mean that stuff sold at Starbucks as regular coffee?
Morning Fafnir ...got back in town late last night through all that line of T-storms that late.. What fun lol.
-
Mornin Noshoba glad to hear you made it back home ok
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later they will serve up BBQ pork ribs with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Got back real late but didnt feel like staying overnight. Spent most of the day with my temper making like a volcano ready to explode. For me pretty much wasted my time going up.
-
Good morning guys!
-
Good morning, Fafnir, Noshoba and Aelin. I hope all of you have a great day.
-
hope you having a great day Sir Knight and everyone else too
-
Good Mornin' all. Tis Sunday morn and time to get up and about. Nice day, so far. No rain as yet. Hot and Sunny. Time for some :java: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks Fafnir.
-
Low pressure and rain for me .. :thud:
-
Thanks, Fafnir.
Low pressure here, too. Does it still cause you discomfort, J?
-
Excellent end of day guys!
See you tomorrow in my evening!
-
Thanks, Fafnir.
Low pressure here, too. Does it still cause you discomfort, J?
Regrettably yes it does, if I am out during rain ... all bets are off .... have gotten smarter and hit ye ole inhaler since I know what is coming ... which helps.
-
J you have become a fb meme.
-
Neat Nosh. errrrr..... where's the other truck?
8 )
Thanx for the laugh!

Thats from one of my facebook follows. The Heinlein Society... Always humorous but also always serious.. Check the last one I shared from them on my fb page. Right on the money.

Good afternoon guys!
It was another sunny day, and clouds were just behind the top of a hill but didn't dare to come. Even now they fled somewhere else.
-
Yeah. It seems the weather weenies are exporting their mischief. Rain had been forecast for today and the next few, but you can't tell it from the sky. Bright sun and a few clouds. Hot and muggy as hell.
-
Last week, forecast weather said our thunderstorms should be for the coming Friday. Then during the weekend, they said finally they will come ealier, for Tuesday. Finally today they said the thunderstorms can be for Wednesday. :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys!

I got your dark skies and rain instead :sigh: off and on all day long in my section of the woods.
-
oooooooo, sorry 'bout that. Still, it looks like we might get a spot of rain here yet. Clouds were moving in as it got dark so time will tell. Meanwhile, off to bed as I have a VA appt in the AM. The Temple VA mossies want another go at me.
-
Not to worry Hip, it is Fl and the rule of thumb is if you don't like the weather wait 20 minutes it will change.
Although last night we continued to get rain on and off, plus some idiots playing "music"? while I was getting into bed, fortunately I managed to get to sleep without having to be "that person"
However this morning is not looking good at all dark skies all around with flashes of lightening and thunder in the background ... going to be a challenging day today I can just feel it coming on. :thud:
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Excellent end of day guys!
See you tomorrow evening if really we haven't thunderstorms Wednesday but Thursday, like now the forecast weather says :shrug:
-
Yeah "J". As well I understand. Used to live in Melbourne, Brevard county. Was riding about on my motorcycle on a nice clear day, and the skies suddenly opened up! Fortunately, it was a WARM rain, so no worries there. Just kept ridin' and got back to the house with no problems. Another time attempted to drive across Fla to go to DisneyWorld, and had to turn back when the weather got REALLY nasty. Like . . . Tornado . . . nasty. Or Hurricane . . . whatever.
-
Be well Aelin. Here we are getting melted like the Wicked Witch.
-
Hey guys! It's actually hit 101°F here, yesterday. It's a much more enjoyable 94°F right now though. And no rain in sight. Gets cloudy at night, sun burns em off right after daylight. I think it is now officially SUMMER! Yup! :woohoo: :thud:
-
Noshoba, you sound MUCH better today man! Good :o)
-
The TL Syndrome (duplicate files everywhere). Folks we all try to do that but in a most organized manner. I mean hey, we do obey the "Back It UP! Back it UP! and Back it UP! some more!" rule, don't we? Ha!
-
Wouldnt say better lol.. More like the calm before the storm ...

Good afternoon guys!
Latest forecast weather said thunderstorms for 10PM here, which leaves me less than 2 hours to run in our corridors :tearlaugh:
During the afternoon we were around 90°F, but in the valley and near the river stream we are lucky to have a bit of wind.
-
What does Mini Forecast have to say about that 10 PM or has Donald completely abandoned his role as weather forecaster?
Only 77°F here today. Back to "hot" weather after this but not McG hot, just PA hot. :shrug:
-
He is no more a Mini Forecast Weather. Only a happy tiny hamster, no matter what will come with weather.
I really think the change comes from the hills around. Before, where we lived, we were at the top of the highest hill from the town, and we hadn't a valley around.
-
Yeah. The weather weenies are still at it. They just keep moving back the days for rain. Supposed to happen later on in the week, but I'm not about to take any bets.

Saharan dust????? Seriously, J?????

Indeed, that is what the weather weenies are bleating about
-
Weather weenies. My local suppertime news station reports the following forecasts each night: Car Wash Index, Patio Furniture Forecast, Lawn Watering Index, Kite Flying Forecast, UV Index, Humidex; and more. With graphics. All in the same hit. Their "weather specialist" just doesn't seem capable of actually forecasting the weather itself. The stupid taskbar window that appeared after a Windows update a week ago, is actually more accurate with less bullcrap and I sent that to The Great Beyond.
-
:whatthe: heck is a car wash index, or for that matter any of the other "absolutely must know" indexes listed. Definitely does not sound like a "specialist" of any flavor
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow roasted beef with all the trimmings and tater wedges and homemade hushpuppies

Good Morning to all.......
Still no rain here....but it sounds like we "MAY" get some tonight....we shall see. Still in drought conditions...but not as bad as some areas of the US....
Been a busy week but I finally have a day of free time....which is rare of late. So I'll do some catching up, work on our July Contest format, see what is what and who is who....and all of this with :java: in hand...
Speaking of which....Thanks for the call Fafnir....are you and your lovely wife still enjoying yourself my friend....hope so.....
-
Good afternoon guys!
Saharan dust????? Seriously, J?????
Yes, the sand is a part of composition of storms and hurricanes above Atlantic Ocean. I remember somebody found a video another year and put the link on the forum.
Still no thunderstorm, but the temperatures are more balanced, and we had rain this afternoon.
Now, I admit the clouds above our heads are looking like if maybe will have a thunderstorm.

The TL Syndrome (duplicate files everywhere). Folks we all try to do that but in a most organized manner. I mean hey, we do obey the "Back It UP! Back it UP! and Back it UP! some more!" rule, don't we? Ha!
Abolutely correct....Duplicate the duplicates on devices that already has duplicates. Then your safe....Confused....but safe :java:
-
Confused is to mild of a word to describe the sensation of finding the same exact thing ... in six different locations. :rat-atat:
No wonder we have to buy so many externals :thud:

Ahhhhh, but consider this.....You're bound to find the file you were looking for on one of them....though it may take a year or two to find it....
See that....always a positive side to everything....
-
What is this duplicates of duplicates tho speak of? :lostme:
-
:lostme: Thought those where called Back-ups! As the Department of Defense says You can never have too many Back ups! :thud:
-
You mean you don't backup your backups????? Which are now called Duplicates since you backed up a backup that was already backed up...thus duplicated....and sometimes triplicated....
-
I was going to add "Quadlicated" but I didn't think that was a word....but I have done that also....
Oh wait...I can say Quadruple...but it doesn't sound as good as Quadlicated....

quadlicated - oh so very close, not that i am trying to encourage. :iminnocent:
quad·ru·pli·cate
adjective
/kwäˈdro͞opləkət/
consisting of four parts or elements.
verb

Excellent end of day guys!
We finally have wind since a while, but still no thunderstorm.
-
Have a great night Aelin....Stay safe.....but I'm thinking you'll be watching the storm roll in.....

seems like the weather weenies are everywhere now i got a thingie in my taskbar that tells me the temp and conditions outside [they lie like hell] M/S must be in cahoots with the weather weenies

Microsoft gifted that to us when they updated Windows 10 a little bit ago.
Right click on the taskbar, go down to "News and Interests" and select "Turn off". :rat-atat:

well i do find it humorous at times but will remember how to turn it off thanks Sir Knight

Same from this corner. Been wondering how to do that. Not too bothersome . . . yet. But its getting there.

Good morning guys! It's weekend for me :grenade:
Guess what? No thunderstorm, and the wind stopped before midnight :shrug:
Today is a sunny day, with only few clouds. And temperatures almost like before.

We were suppose to get some strong storms last night but ended up getting some strong quick passing showers that didn't last long and that's about it. Need MORE....
I do feel sorry for all those that are melting in the West and some parts of the South.
Earth is retaliating.

But I like a challenge....So I'll allow it on one of the puters and go from there....
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Have a great rest of the evening, Aelin. I'm glad to hear that you have had good weather.
-
Whew!!!! Finally got a full day off. Aliene's been off for the last four days, but have been kept running about getting everybody sort out. Now finished and enjoying the quiet. At least for today. Tomorrow on the other hand? :thud:

We had sun this morning, and now we have clouds before him.
-
Good Morning,
Well the weather is starting to cool down, looks like the high will be 113 degrees F as a high today and that is in the shade. When it get up to 105 it just seems hot and after that any increase you really can't feel it past that. Another average summer out here.
-
Good Morning to all......
A beautiful sunny day out.....We finally cooled down a bit....75 degrees right now. But still very little rain....
Got a busy day ahead of me so hope you all enjoy your day.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.......
-
Good afternoon, everyone. Spectacular thunder storm last night about 2 AM. More scheduled for later today. I hope every one is doing well.
-
Is hokay, Sir Knight. Tis afternoon and the weather is holding firm. No rain in sight. Supposed to rain a bit on Mon, but not holding breath.
-
More clouds on the way have been watching them for a week now, moving east over this desert. Which is a good thing for the farmers who need the rain more than we do out here.
-
Had a serious gust front roll in. Actually tried to turn my fully loaded work truck into a WIGE lol. Then the rain rolled in all nice and wimpy.
-
I must truly be out of touch with the world
WIGE means what? :ummm:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Wing In Ground Effect...sorry had dozed off J..
-
Hello to Sir Knight....and Good Night to Aelin....
And I'm kinda curious as to what a "WIGE" is also....
And now back to my posting....Kinda slow on it today...
-
Their you go....now my curiosity is a happy camper....Thanks for the explanation Noshoba
-
I read what you said WIGE means and it is still confusing to this old fart :shrug: it happens I guess
-
Ok ..puts on the old aerospace cap... It is basically a form of ground effects vehicle. Formula One race cars use a form of it to achieve their speed. Look up Caspian Sea Monster for the most famous example. Although some can achieve true flight they generally fly just above ground level. The major benefits over normal aircraft is lower fuel consumption and much greater range and payload.

-
Sounds like about two steps above hydroplaning
-
They are all related. Rather fascinating design..Boeing was experimenting with it for awhile. Not sure if took it any further. There are some personal aircraft out there using the concept. What I meant by some can actually achieve true flight.
-
J have you ever seen a pelican flying low over water they are using the ground effect for lift which means they can fly further using less energy
-
Bingo....
-
The only time we have seen the pelicans flying in that fashion is when I go out to NASA for work and or renewing my site access.
But at least now I have a better understanding of the term, thank you for the education

Morning and Happy Fathers Day .
-
Good morning guys!
I come after the third thunderstorm in line we had since 8:30AM. And more can come. So if I disappear you know why.
-
First Off.....HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS in here.......
I think you and I are sharing the weather Aelin....we have storm warnings out until late tonight....but when they use the word "Chance" I take the report with a grain of salt. But I'm hoping we get some rain....But they can keep the Tornado Warnings and High Wind Warnings in Illinois.
That was a great explanation Fafnir.....spot on.....and in saying that....I'll have a double :java: with my :java:
Good Morning Sir Knight....Noshoba.....Rad.....PDG......M-C and guests......
-
Good moring, TL. A Happy Fathers Day to you as well.
-
Yesterday evening, forecast weather said thunderstorms one after the other for all today. Then this afternoon, they said only until 5PM. Like you saw me, you know it wasn't the case. But they didn't tell we should have storms tonight - and the sky is threatening now :shrug:
-
How cute they claim no rain in the forecast, couldn't tell that by looking at the sky. Granted it is not a full blown getting ready to make things wet look. Certainly has got the threatening part down pretty good though :tearlaugh:
Well, not really since low pressure systems are still "a thing" to make me uncomfortable. :shrug: Whatever, it is going to be a bumpy ride for me till ye ole knothead doctor gets off his collective high horse, or donkey in his case and gives me a accurate prescription and schedule.
As to whether or not I will get any rain is still in the hands of the Gods .... time for more Dr. Who to take me mind off of it
-
Excellent end of day guys! I'll be back tomorrow in my evening.
-
Be well Aelin...

Happy Daddy's day to all you dads out there. Just recently got back from dinner at Outback's and now at home watching various movies. Glad am I to have ditched cable in favor of streaming services.

-
Good morning, Fafnir. Sounds like a wonderful start to the day. Oh, and definitely coffee. Thanks!
-
Your welcome Sir Knight
-
Coffee good. Brain foggy. Need help.
-
On mornings like that I call AAA and ask them to come with the battery cables...
-
But for you, the car's fine? Heh! I'd still need my coffee. Today especially. Back hurting awful, got up, got coffee, fed the boys, nurse visited, had some food and now sitting down with that mug of blessed brown liquid! :D
-
pours PDG a double shot of 40 Creek here you go this will help
-
Good afternoon all. Hey Fafnir, toss - figuratively, not literally thank you - some of that good coffee over here. Good day, yesterday and now just chillin' at home. Have to take ALiene to work, but that's for later. Be workin' on Elektra 'till then,
-
Good afternoon guys!
It's the "Fête de la Musique" in France, and I know there are places around the world too which have that. As longer as the music isn't in the complex, it's ok for me :tearlaugh:
But the weather is playing like almost each year. We had a lot of rain during the afternoon, kind of moonsoon during a while. And now, clouds aren't the friendly white :winks:
-
And don't forget to vote for the July contest theme

Yeah; it did. And I went back for a nap. Between the Hippies needing sound stages, consecutive F1 weekends for the next couple, and the Stanley Cup playoffs still hosting my team; I don't know what will give out first. Heart or Liver. Sleep is for losers.

Just looked at a message from GAOTD that offers 10 free licenses for a supposed special app that is supposed to do something awesome. This one is of no use to any who know how to use the Print Screen feature on your keyboard. All the supposedly awesome app does is the same thing that Print Screen does. To me it is what I would classify as actual Bloatware!
Go figure...
-
Hate to admit it, but I seldom look to see the what daily freebie is. The ad most likely helps support the site and that is a good thing. Despite the time your message appears posted you must have looked before midnight as I see a file sharing app there now. You don't have to download or install anything you don't want (excepting Windoze updates) so no need to complain. Never having seen the program/application being discussed I should just shut up and back away quietly.

In fact in France it was accepted but people couldn't be in groups of more of 10 persons. Go figure how to do with concerts and things all around the towns :lostme: But that's joys of the stupid governement.
Anyway, the feast ended with chaos in streets of Paris. And riots in the town of Annecy. Each time only because the police came and used strong ways.
-
Oh, I forgot to tell you. I was back from job after midday, and I arrived in the hall with letterboxes. A woman was there, a neighbor I don't know yet, and I say hello. No answer :shrug: I went to check my box.
Living 2 floors above the ground, I took the stairs several steps behind the woman. Suddenly, like she was turning to take the second part of the stairs, she saw I followed her. And she went faster in that last part of the stairs going to floor 1.
But between the end of the stairs and are were are the doors of flats, there is a kind of large step, with a common door leading to the door flats. In that portion, I saw the woman litterally running, opening the heavy door in a panic look to me, and I heard her running to her own door and opening in a hurry to go in her flat. :tearlaugh:
I'm a monster :tearlaugh: And you know why? Because since June 17th we no more have the obligation to have a mask, except in shops and like users of administrations.
I admit a part of me asked for I go faster too in stairs, but I controlled that.
-
sounds like the woman was scared of you or something
-
I'm a monster :tearlaugh: And you know why? Because since June 17th we no more have the obligation to have a mask, except in shops and like users of administrations.
:tearlaugh: Yep I am a monster as well, state of Florida said :rat-atat: with the masks and I have been doing so everywhere I go ... damn Chinese market wont let you in without one though, I think that is just them trying to force their antediluvian crap on folks.
Still see people that are outside no one around with a mask on :thud:
Sorry I don't get it, the virus got out from a level 4 lab, is small enough to get past the fabric of a mask and yet folks think that it is going to protect them
-
I'll be wearing a mask when Ed comes to pick me up. Blew up a monitor this morning and although non-essential stores are open at reduced capacity, we still have to wear them inside the store; and I am fully vaccinated with two doses and two weeks since the last shot. The masking by-laws are under the control of all three levels of government differing down to the local municipality. They have the final say and here in T.O., we're wearing masks. Period. End of discussion.

That my dear Aelin is why musicians here have been getting me to set up stages and recording studios in back sheds and back acreage. There are still 5 person gathering limits here. Cheap Public Transit will take you to the suburbs, farms, and woodlots where the "Festival Season" of small musical gatherings on private property with enough free space around you to camp and not be annoying to the neighbours. That in turn keeps the Police from hasseling you because they need complaints to step upon private residential property. That does not apply to commercial property. Police can enter at their own discretion without a public complaint in order to enforce Public Health and other such governmental bodies regulations.
That leads to confrontations here as well though they are mostly name calling and chest puffing. Cops give out a warning ticket or two while everyone runs away taking cell phone video of "their close escape from the oppressors of free speech and free expression out to control the People." I really just wish people would get over it. Play the game for a week or three and get things back to normal or as close as they are going to get. I realize that is not going to happen though.
-

That is becoming the state of things here as well. Media is instilling the fear of Death By Virus at the new normal. Get a shot. Get your second shot. Save yourself, save your family, save your community. Wear your mask.
People cannot tell who is vaccinated, who is not, who will cost you your life or the life of your family, friend, or neighbour. With everyone here in towers terrified of getting into an elevator with strangers, and being told to limit the capacity to those only in your own household; the lobbies are full of folk all trying to stay away from each other.
I can go to Best Buy this afternoon to grab a new monitor, but I can't enter a restaurant or bar for lunch on the way. I can sit outside at a patio table with up to three others, with the appropriate contact tracing measures in place; at a small table in what was a live traffic lane up till a few days ago. There is, of course; a live lane of traffic still within a few inches of your table and chair. No kidding. They opened some of the live traffic lanes next to sidewalks, with no separation from the rest of the street traffic; to set up patios for bars and restaurants because you cannot enter them at this time. By the way; this means no trip to the head after a few cooling beverages. They are inside the establishments serving those same frosty cold beverages.
At least I can get a drink here and look at the barmaids.

Here they don't care a complaint or not.
Yet, the festivals with public are allowed. I know because we had a tiny portion of one around the end of May that we were able to see (and loudly heard) from our flat.
But in general life is a risk with any illness in this world. I don't care since I'm born, I just take the "risk" everyday. Won't change my habits for that. There are more risks to cross somebody with tuberculosis than with covid. And we never had to wear the mask for.
If shots were so usefull and verified, one would be enough. And you wouldn't have to continue to wear the mask against the others. I won't talk further on that.
-
Yes, but see all the little groups of 10 or less sprinkled all around the audience? Like PDG suggests, use a bit of common sense and stop being sheeples, peoples! ;)
to elsewhere this morning: the mask simply stops your droplets of moisture from getting away from your own person and onto other persons. That's the science part. Sorry Jherrith, ol man.... I know you have cause to be disgruntled over the whole mask thing. And they do make taking deep breaths difficult. I wonder if that fact itself might trigger your asthma attacks?
-
The mask catches drops and keep them near your nose and mouth. Masks stop bacteries not viruses.
But that's fine, continue on the way to third, fourth, fifth... shot. And to believe what medias say. As longer as you believe it will save you.
In France we had last months parties with hundreds of people. No one with covid despite the "danger"...
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Wore a mask and got a monitor. No beer on a patio though. With all the idiots running over people on sidewalks; the idea of sitting in the street for a rye and ginger doesn't sound too appealing to me.
Night all.
-
Night PDG. Sleep well. And to all our Attice personnel, I also wish a good night.

No need to worry, it was just an observation I was making. I guess some programmers are looking for anything they can do to create apps, no matter how redundant some of them might be. Personally, if I had that type of skill, I'd want to create something that would be of great use to others, rather than something that does just one or two things.
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with 40 Creek rum and bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be baked ham and sweet taters

Hummmm. Wonder if a person could make sweet tater wedges or would they just dissolve into mush. Sweet tater wedges with cajun spices sound kinda tasty.
Anyway; coffee and Creek please Sir.

Hi guys. Had a little bit o rain last night. Today was partly cloudy and fairly warm. Nice. 'Nother day off. Aliene still "working" over at Friday's, if you could call it that. Works like three days and then is off for three or four.
OH well. Getting late so I am thinking of turning in. Good noght, Mrs Calabash . . . . . wherever you are.

-
Mornin to you all coffee tea and cocoa are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning for later on they will have smoked brisket and link sausage with sweet tater wedges
-
we had some rain the other night but we still need some more
-
It has been the last two nights with start stops from when I get home till when I go to bed sometime heavy sometimes light but enough to have caused that abomination of a back yard that I have, all 250 sq ft, of it to to get up to knee high already
-
Good morning guys!
It was like moonsoon this morning and it was hard to do my way until job, despite it's not far. But big puddle after big puddle was a challenge :tearlaugh: River was in a hurry, and even now that the rain is over it's still a speedy stream.
-
long as it don't get in your house J you will be ok
-
Didn't rain at all up here. Ho hum. :thud:
-
Sure J, you can send some of it my way. So far back "Jungle" is behaving. But for how long? Meh!!!! So far, all quiet on the western, as well as eastern, etc. etc . . . . And as for all these apps? Personally, have no use for them as don't use them. The freebie apps on the Attic on the other hand . . . only when I see one that I actually can use. Not there are that many. My phone is still almost in a virgin state. Only app so far is Youtube music, since the Google music took a dump. Go figure.
Think I'll grab some :java: n' wander 'ereabouts for a bit.
-
:tearlaugh: no apps on ye ole computer just programs and so forth as to the phone Skymap, dB calculator, antenna pointer and the best is the Bird RF Meter are the most used.
:tearlaugh:

nasty looking clouds and thunder but no rain yet

Yep we can feel the clouds getting rude even in my neck of the woods although the sky doesn't look to bad at the moment
-

didn't get no rain yesterday even tho it was cloudy and threatening all day
-
Never heard it rain but it certainly did as I have all the low area of the pavement doing their impersonation of puddles to either splash in or drown depending on how big you are :tearlaugh:
... and something I have not seen for decades on my front porch a green frog on the arm of the chair I have out there just about three fingers in length.
Like I said haven't seen one in a long time so tis nice to see one again, and he is still sitting there
-
the green frogs will be out in force soon if we keep on getting rain
-
Good afternoon guys!
I was outside for my own afternoon, to visit other parts of the town I didn't look yet. Will put some in the gallery, and maybe one will interest J.

Wow....a Anime masterpiece on the way.....and it looks SO CONFUSING to do.....I'd be pulling my hair out.... Oh wait.....to late for that :thud:
-
More like mostly cloudy here, although by the same token it is also mostly sunny at the moment :ummm:
-
We are finally getting our much needed rain. We don't have green grass ..... we have brown grass....Hopefully after this drenching we'll see our yards coming back. Suppose to be a faboomer day today....
-
I have the green grass and in abundance at the moment as in up mid-calf
-
Buy a goat....that will keep the grass in check.... :java: :ifonly:
-
And to prove my point:
Madison Goats (https://www.nbc15.com/2021/05/25/grazing-goats-clear-madison-parks-of-invasive-species/)

Not doing that by ourselves, it looks like confusing. Yet, Mr Guillot is the first I see between different reportages or papers to explain there is a pair and impair wires. My guess is then there is a mark on the "flutes" to recognize them.
And to prove my point:
Madison Goats (https://www.nbc15.com/2021/05/25/grazing-goats-clear-madison-parks-of-invasive-species/)
:yes: And even here, in Aubusson, I read yesterday we have goats somewhere in central town, near the river. Against a plant from Asia, japanese "renouée". I have to look for them next week.
Lamas aren't bad too, and sheeps, cows and horses. What one won't eat, another will take.
-
:thud: That would be excellent for commercial areas, however living in a residential community and city limits I don't think I will get away with something like that and what happens when the meager yard is chewed down .... oh I know maybe I can rent him out to the other neighbors :tearlaugh:
-
There you go.....that would pay for the waste management costs :ifonly:
-
dont want a billy goat J you need a female goat least you can milk her and sell the goats milk or use it yourself to make cheese
-
Good point although as mentioned would have to get it past the HOA first :tearlaugh: :thud:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.
We only had that one taste of rain this morning....a lot of threatening clouds....but nothing more.....Oh well....Maybe mother nature will have pity on us tonight LOL
I'm heading out of here shortly. Got to finish up our postings......
Should be in here some time tomorrow. Don't have any plans as of yet....
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready and there are plenty of spirits for fortification The girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked turkey with all the trimmings

It? Singular? Well not like you'd need a herd of em at your place! Heh!
Rain. There was some the other night, big house rattling thunderboomer. Just got up, checked the NOAA Local Weather Page and they have us getting wet all week long. Got a high of 80 scheduled for today. Gosh I might have to put on a flannel shirt!
My bday is Thursday and I have never even had Prime Rib. Fafnir reminded me of that.
I got "over the air" high speed internet now. Not one byte of it coming through the phone. Though the gateway does have its own phone number and it is using the cell tower as ITS source. I am getting from 6 to 25 Mega BYTES per second download speeds, and 5 to 10 upload speeds. I have never gone this fast in my entire time on the InterWebs! Woohoo! But it is supposed to be much faster than this. Seeing as no matter where in the house I try the gateway, its signal strength is only 2 or 3 bars out of 5. So I will say "It's a fair start!" and leave it there till I get hold of customer service. Sigh.
-
Morning Fafnir..doing battle with the churchladies at the Laundrymat. McG good luck with that.
Debating a render..might get trademark/copyright infringement lol. Slim chance but might..either get a take it down or an offer to use for advertising lol.
-
Morning Noshoba watch the church ladies they can get a bit disorderly hope it is an offer to use it for advertising
-
Made it safely.. Just their slogan fits so well lol
-
Well amused to see that notify ?
-
Good morning guys!
We finally started to hear rumbles beyond the horizon around midnight. Thunderstorm came around 1AM and stayed a while but was fine. Cats sleeping, and hamsters just a little excited.
-
And good morning Aelin
-
It? Singular? Well not like you'd need a herd of em at your place! Heh!
My bday is Thursday and I have never even had Prime Rib. Fafnir reminded me of that.
Well, with a 250 sq. ft. fenced backyard you would be right on that point. :tearlaugh:
Mine is the following Monday after yours and it has been forever since I have done a prime rib.
Guess one wouldn't hurt for a special meal since ye ole work weenies are giving us the day off, since the 4th of July falls on Sunday this year.
-
Sky is very dark at the south of me, like for each thunderstorm. Don't know if it will start sooner, or wait for later in the evening/night.
Here people say the ancient farmers looked for the first thunderstorm of the year, to see its path. And should be the path for all the others of the year in the region. So far, that's true.
-
Alls quiet here, for right now. Took Aliene to work at noon and skies were fairly clear. Got back home a bit later, went and crashed - long night binging Netflix - woke up when phone rang. Also to the sound of a few little thunderboomers. Rained on the way to pick her up and poured on the way back. Zeus was having a grand time throwing bolts all over the place!
:rainy: :rain-rain: :rainy:
Sometimes you're the hydrant, and sometimes you're the dog!!!!!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with corn on the cob and tater wedges
-
Thank you sir.
-
Good morning guys!
Finally last evening we had just the dark sky, then passed 11PM, rumbles beyond horizon, and no more. But there was a lot of rain... which I obviously heard in my dreams but I learnt that by colleagues and how the outside is :tearlaugh:
-
Oooooooh, yeah! Yesterday afternoon, we had some thunderboomers, but I slept through them all. Rain last night but nothing serious. Now today and for the rest of the week, we've got rain in the forecast. :thud:
The weather weenies must be working overtime out here. Not to much on the west coast, but definitely over here. The "Child" must really be kickin' up a fuss out in the Pacific.
-
My weather sweetie said we might, could, should, maybe have a bit of rain by Wednesday due to a tropical depression that will be over Cabo San Lucas. We might, could, should, maybe have a bit of humidity (22% - 27%) due to the rain and our heat wave up around 94 degrees ( 83 degrees in my area). All I can say is she can predict snow in July and I would still say she is hotter than a Portland heat wave.
-
Excellent end of day guys!

Good afternoon guys!
I was outside for my own afternoon, to visit other parts of the town I didn't look yet. Will put some in the gallery, and maybe one will interest J.
They're both wonderfully artistic, Aelin. What an attractive place to live! Castle ruins and a town made famous for its tapestries. Thank you for showing us.
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thank you and the girls for so faithfully making sure we face the day with open eye, more or less alert. I hope that you have a great day.
-
Morning y'all. Danny was amusing..Chucktown seems to have the bullseye for tropical storms forming up off the coast and coming in.. Just the usual issue we have here with flooding we even get with a normal rainfall.
-
Good morning guys!
All started like a sunny but cloudy day. Now it's rain and wind, all covered by clouds. We are ready for a Summer maybe not so much hot. I won't complain!
Thanks Sir Knight!

Good Afternoon to all. Had to take some time off the computer....but now I think all is well again....for a bit LOL...
Love those shots of yours in the gallery Aelin....picturesque and then some....
Hey there Sir Knight....How be it today?
Morning Fafnir...thanks for the :java: Had to make a trip to my insurance agent this morning to make sure all things were up to date and see what costs me more this time around :tearlaugh:
Afternoon McG....have another cup of :java: It's on "J"
Hello there Sir Knight....Any big plans for the 4th Weekend?
How dare they name a tropical system after me again Noshoba....I didn't even get a call from them informing me that they'd do that.....geeeezzzz.... But sure glad it petered out...
Got to love our Weather Sweeties DLL. They have some great ones out there...
Rain Rain Rain here HS....and glad of it. The grass is looking better already. I may be able to mow again soon.
And now the Good news...I get rid of Lorna for the weekend. She's spending the 4th of July weekend with Travis and Mindy.... I have to drive her to Elkhorn on Friday afternoon and pick her up on Monday...sometime LOL....
And now I'll march off to the sound of Rads Bagpipes to see what is what and who is why...with :java: in hand....Ahhhhh

Hey there Sir Knight....How be it today?
Hi, TL. Today's particularly exciting. Just ordered two Dell R940xa's. (Obviously for work.) Total is 1 TB of memory. :woohoo:

Hello there Sir Knight....Any big plans for the 4th Weekend?
...
Today is my older boy's birthday. I think that's likely the most celebrating I'll do this weekend. Sounds like you'll be a free man this weekend. :Hi5:
-
Thanks TL, will share more sooner or later.
Excellent end of day guys! And remember, tomorrow is the last day for June Contest (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24210.0)
-
Still experiencing the "I don't exist unless you need something" feeling today. Sucks since there is nothing that I can put the finger on as to being the trigger.
How boring ....
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of fortification the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and smoked link sausage with all the trimmings and sweet tater wedges

This might be an interesting morning, making the morning regular bacon and eggs for breakfast and what do I see,
an egg with two yolks
:whatthe: how about that
-
Good morning guys!
It's a sunny day after the cloudy morning we had.
Are you ready for our July contest (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24268.0) , celebrating the FA and FRM anniversary?
-
Morning....and depends on definition of toon lol..otherwise
-
Mornin' folks. Double up on the rye please Fafnir and halve the caffeine. It's a holiday here today though it is rather contentious this year.
-
hands PDG a steaming mug of 1/2 coffee and a heafty double shot of rye
-
Good afternoon all. Just got back in after short stop at Wallyworld. Also took Aliene to get her l-o-o-on-n-n-n-g delayed shot. After being on meds - that she didn't take - finally got her back on her shots. That should help to keep her chilled out. Good thing/bad thing being on a fixed income. Got most of bills paid and still a good chunk left. Now, if I can just get my stereo to working properly.
-
Morning....and depends on definition of toon lol..otherwise
Let us know what you are considering to use, and we can help out with an answer.
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
(and a 1 and a 2 and a...) Happy Birthday to me!
Heh! :viking: :dk2: :java:
-
Happy birthday McG...
As for what constitutes toon... I generally use Sakura or Posey . Earlier choices havent worked in Daz since 4 came out. Never were updated.
-
Oh wow, it isn't even night time and we got a big ol SOGGY type thunderboomer rolling through right now :D :woohoo:
-
Happy birthday McG...
As for what constitutes toon... I generally use Sakura or Posey . Earlier choices havent worked in Daz since 4 came out. Never were updated.
Not familiar with either
-
Happy Birthday, McG!
:bday4: :bday3: :bday4:
-
Happy hangover to you
Happy hangover to you
oh wait you don't do that any more
So I will have one for you
Happy Birthday
-
Sakura, Posey and Petunia are listed as anime characters which is listed as Japanese toons.
-
Happy B-Day McG, sail on and may all your skies be red by night.
-
Sakura I would agree and was created by rarestone over at Daz. Littlefox's posey/petunia/thistle I wouldnt. But no big deal.. Look a little more gnomish lol.
-
You are correct, Lady Littlefox's details states they are "stylized Resin Ball Jointed (BJD) Dolls, this pair of cuties represent the spectrum from the smooth featured Anime Dolls to the softer curves of the artist dolls." Thistle would be the same as she requires Posey, Petunia and Genesis 8 Female.
-
Well her characters have always had a the last unicorn look and feel. Would use her early characters actually but they went wonky when Daz went to 4 and they never fixed the glitch although they admit it existed. Had a rather long conversation on that one years back.
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the trimmings
-
Good morning guys!
As for what constitutes toon... I generally use Sakura or Posey . Earlier choices havent worked in Daz since 4 came out. Never were updated.
Sakura is that one J https://www.sharecg.com/v/56150/ For how she is, I think she can fit the role, like ChibiBel (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24268.0).
For Posey, my first idea was she was linked to Kiki like there was something with that name.
I have some old Littefox toons, in Poser versions. I even took the baby unicorn when she was cheap, but realized only after she was weight mapped :shrug: I'm still working with Daz 3 for now.
-
A lot of times I have been able to convert those figures from weight to triax mapped with Studio.
Aelin or Noshoba, have you tried that on the figures you want to use in Studio?
-
I never tried, and even didn't know about. But looking Daz forum, I see the triax is used for Genesis figures, meaning DS4.
-
I think that the baby unicorn has a DS version, too, by the way. Is this the one?
-
It's that baby yes. But the weight mapped figures don't work in DS3; and because of the differences between Poser and DS4, it's the reason why there are 2 versions. If you try the weigh mapped Dawn for Poser in DS4, welcome the waves :tearlaugh:
DS4 asks too efforts to the computer memory for each tiny movement I do. At the beginning of DS4, it wasn't calculating each second of each camera or props or figure move when doing something.
For Poser, it was a choice to keep it on my W8.1 computer.
-
I'm just trying to help. I'm sorry that I can't.
One more question and I'll stop. The Poser version of the baby unicorn doesn't work in DS3?
-
Alas no, I tried. It's a waving unicorn, like Dawn did by the past. Well, for Dawn I tried her in DS3 despite I read it wasn't possible, but I counted on my luck :tearlaugh:
I know for Summoner's figures I can use them in very limited moves in DS3, before they tear up themselves.
Sorry, I'm between 2 big noises by an helicopter. Because it landed on the rugby group 'stadium' and stopped rotors. Don't know what happens. When it will go back in skies the noise will be one more time horrible. Cats don't care, can't tell the same for hamsters.
-
I think the helicopter guys (who were from a rescuer team) must save people in snail kingdom. Don't be in a "save my life please" moment, or for sure you can't survive. Don't know if the "rescued" person in the district will be ok after that :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys!

Morning ...off to make a little money that my employer wont take most of it lol.
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Need coffee this morning.
Good morning, Aelin. Is the helicopter attack over?
-
Good morning from a damp and determined drizzling morning in Florida :rainy:
At least it is a drizzle at the moment and as it is the weekend, I am not obligated to go anywhere unless I desire it. Best type of day. :tearlaugh:
-
Well a little work for the old franchise owner...take care of his landscaping when I am free. Yeah have strong sense of loyalty to those who are loyal to me.
-
Seconded
-
Well we have graduated to a light rain now and it is still going strong, looks like it is not inclined to stop anytime soon.
:rowrow: might be in the cards later today :tearlaugh:
-
Is this the outer edges of Elsa or just usual stuff?
-
Ah at last down to a barely after thought of a sprinkle now, that is nice the interesting part is that I have not been as out of sorts with the breathing part, ye ole asthma, mainly because been doing to much thinking and reading on the topic and methinks that ye ole doctor is pulling the proverbial leg. Either that or he gets paid by how many people he sees or how many meds he prescribes .... and to hell with whether or not it is the right diagnosis ... no wonder it is called a "practice"
Why, since for me it is a three day weekend decided to experiment, after all that is basically all he is doing since he barely listens when I reply or describe what I feel is happening to my body. Didn't take the breathalyzer last night, drank a cup of strong coffee this morning, been in and out of the house whilst it has been raining ... all previous triggers, no distress, no discomfort, even my voice sounds normal to me ... :ummm:
-
Is this the outer edges of Elsa or just usual stuff?
Outer edge according to the weather map, sweet Elsa apparently wont get right in our face until late Monday early Tuesday
-
spitting rain on and off here storm track say it going up the west coast in the gulf but who knows tis a roll of the dice glad you feelin better J
Hello Sir Knight and Noshoba hope everyone is having a great day
-
thought the rain had passed on by. Look outside and it's still raining but very lightly. Pleasantly! I figure it's clearing up slowly, it's 83°F, no wind. Great day actually, and the yard has just sprouted from fresh mowed to almost knee high already! :thud: :grenade:
-
Did a second cup of coffee which I almost never do and still no adverse reaction. Went to do the weekly shopping and even though it was down to spitting rain still no issues and my voice still sounds normal to my ears.
Now granted this is just one day of not taking the breathalyzer so the jury is still out in regards to what happens next ... and yes I do know that one should not discontinue taking meds without a doctors guidance, but since he doesn't listen to me when I try to reply to his questions ... :shrug: happens
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin. Just got home and back to having phone service. Nick's father popped up from North Carolina. 83 years old and still embarrassing his son with stories lol.
-
Sounds about right, my old man is going to be 84 in November so I feel the pain described <LOL>
-
Damn, I was so engrossed in getting things done in here today that I forgot to say GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE....so GOOD AFTERNOON instead....
Fafnir...I see I owe you a phone call. Had to have mine turned off during appointments and I keep forgetting to check to see who called LOL.
Howdy Sir Knight....McG.....Noshaba....Aelin...(Who just went bye bye), "J", and to all others I may have missed....
And now I'll be finishing up in here....
Hope all enjoy their 4th of July. Lorna is at the Grandsons and I have Mel and Shannon coming over tomorrow night so we can go and watch the fireworks from the Walmart Parking Lot LOL...
Other then that....life goes on...thankfully.....
-
And the 4th boomers woke me up, Happy 4th folks!
May the 4th be with you!

Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of fortifications too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be island pig done in an underground oven with all the trimmings

-
Good morning, Fafnir. That sounds like a proper 4th of July celebration. I'll need plenty of :java: today. I hope your day is filled with joys and kindnesses, too.
-
Morning.. They got an early start last night.. Who needs fireworks when you can shoot your guns in the air..

Cool running nice and sunny today hope it stays that way for the day, since I bought fireworks this year and I want to blow stuff up tonight :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Well, that was certainly entertaining walked across the parking lot and talked with my neighbor and their kids, (14, 11, 8) and broke out a little at a time the fireworks I had bought earlier in the week.
Had a couple that were quite impressive and several that started off with promise and then didn't live up to the byline.
:fireworks2: :fireworks2: :fireworks2: :fireworks2: :fireworks2:
The nice part is that not only did I have some but that the neighbor next door and a few down the road a piece and in out and around the corner and the rest of the neighborhood. So was quite nice show and it is still going on .... :yippee: :fireworks2: :fireworks2: :fireworks2:
-
Glad to see you guys got some good entertainment going on. Been raining and is still cloudy as hell so no high altitude fireworks. Don't really need them as it scares the hell out of my puppied. Got a German Shepard/Border Collie mix that tries to crawl in my lap when the fun starts. Even worse with the thundeboomers. Aliene had to work today so we're going to Austin tomorrow to visit son. Stay tuned for further update.
-
Listening to the fireworks with gunfire while reading a manga about a 4 year old with a shotgun lol. She would make a great squadron badge lol.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with salad and tater wedges
-
well last night we had a pretty good fireworks show going on in my hood so i didn't shoot off none just watched was rather impressive couple parties going on weren't to loud so was a nice evening
-
Good morning guys!
-
Morning...so wish I had noticed sooner a few minutes ago...would have snapped a picture.. Mustang across from me at redlight and driver trying to look like a badass... Only one problem ..he had a bungee cord he colored to match his hood holding it on.
-
:tearlaugh: The lengths some folk go to make themselves look cool falls ever so short don't they :tearlaugh:
-
Here is one for the cuckoos nest I just got email from the store at Hivewire saying my points balance has changed :thud:
+1000 for it being my birthday :tearlaugh:
-
Indeed... And not surprised by the HW notification. Still getting notices for a class action settlement about the airbags on my old Versa. Pity didnt notice the problem when she got totalled years ago from all the airbags deploying when I shut door with no one inside.
-
Well...... the point system was separate but connected to the store. Though the doors are closed, the gnome keeps count.
8 )
Damp and pre-hurricaney, not too bad for mowing the lawn.
Cheers
-
still down round Cuba i think
-
for the celebratory fireworks, all I could get was the audio. Stuck my head out the door to see whazzup with that, and it were raining. The fireworks were getting launched right up into the clouds. They showed a bit of internal lighting, but that was all. So, I came in and went to bed.
Again. :D :woohoo:
-
Been spending a relaxing day reading since it is a holiday.
What better way to spend ones birthday :thumb_up:
Was putting away some books given to me because they wanted to get rid of some of theirs :thud: can't imagine something like that, but who am I to judge.
One is a paperback copy of one I have in hardback.
Piers Anthony; On a Pale Horse: The Incarnations of Immortality
A series of eight volumes that I read as they came out this one was released in 1983.
All I can say is that in re-reading it certainly does put todays world events in perspective .... to the point of you have got to be kidding me.
Will not say more least you think me mad ... oh wait :iminnocent:
Been at it for a while and am 60 pages from the conclusion. In other words about another hour till finished ... :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys! I'll be back tomorrow in my evening - except if a thunderstorm comes.
-
Indeed young lady take care of yourself.
Oh great I just finished book one of the Incarnations of Immortality and just picked up volume two, even though I have three other books I am currently in the middle of plus another three anxiously waiting in the wings to be read.
:sigh:
-
Wait till you get to "Like a Green Mother"
8 )
Great series.
-
Indeed volume five I am remembering bits and pieces as I started "Bearing an Hourglass", sort of seem to remember that in volume five Nature got a bit "ticked" and brought rain to the whole planet to the point of biblical proportions.
-
Which by the way we have skies that remind one of "the oncoming storm" :rainy: then again it might just pass us by ... anyone has a coin please flip it for me ... I call heads ....
-
Tails... Mouse's kingdum is on the edge of a splinter, the main showerhead is west om Miami-Dade. heading north-west. Good luck,
-
Wonderful I just looked at a radar image I really should stop that sort of rubbish.
It looks like it will be an interesting evening :rowrow:
-
Could be a lot worse...
Could be riding straight up the middle and large enough to cover the state. Poor Pensicola....
Check your bottled water supply. Cheers
-
Well, it has decided to do naught in my neck of the woods as of yet, tomorrow is another story though <LOL>
At any rate currently in the middle of enjoying my birthday dinner. Cooked by none other but yours truly.
Rib eye Med with baked potato. Was shooting for Medium rare but missed by a touch ... better luck next time
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls did biscuits and thick cut bacon for this morning and for later on there will be King crab legs with bacon wrapped scallops hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Well, should be interesting according to the weather weenies rain around 9:00, 13:00-14:00, and 18:00 today, how quaint, even have a flood warning for areas prone to flooding until tomorrow at 16:00
They might be onto something since when I went outside to put the lunch and backpack in the truck I have nothing but grey and ominous clouds completely across the entire sky, and I mean everywhere... ah well no biggie in my mind since this is just a typical day in Florida summer.
However it looks like sweet little Elsa is going to visit Tampa more then central Fl so should be mostly wind with some normal rain ... in theory ... where I reside
-
Morning ...she is supposed to start effecting us tomorrow and Thursday. We shall see..although the old joke here in Chucktown is you spill a cup of coffee downtown and it floods.
-
Good morning.
Fafnir, supper sounds awesome!
-
Good afternoon guys!
We finally had a thunderstorm after midnight, and during a part of the night - at least each time I woke up :tearlaugh: It ended in the early morning. We had a lot of rain, sun, clouds, big rain, sun, big big rain... all the day after that. And again the possibility today and next days for thunderstorms :shrug:
You, take care with Elsa.
Converning books, I started the Expedition of the Kon-Tiki. They haven't even take the sea, and already one of teh guys had troubles with the Pacific :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Well, in theory Elsa is up to hurricane status and is estimated to hit below Tampa and could get inland as far as Orlando.
In theory
There was talk about canceling us coming in tomorrow due to it, but it looks pretty lame to me as there is no real oomph or ass behind this rainstorm
No word from the boss as to whether or not we are to show up so I guess work is as scheduled
-
would be nice to get some rain out of this thing going up the west coast we shall see as we do need the rain now if the weather wackos will tell us whats going on instead of all the crap about be prepared and what if I mean we live in Fla and most know what to do in case of a major storm
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings and sweet tater wedges
-
Well, I was under the impression that it was going to be a CAT 1 at the least (back at tropical storm strength) and on land by now, it is at the moment once more teasing us, :rainy: yes ... do I need to break out the :rowrow: no ... well those that are not used to what we call a soft day here in FL might need one. But having been in FL all my life :o_go_on: not today just a steady rain at the moment.
Now whether or not the boss is going to call the day off or not is another story. Supposedly was going to message us last night about his intent but ... crickets ... still
-
Tampa can have all the storm they can handle just as long as my hockey team creates a storm of their own in Tampa tonight.
-
hope your hockey team does well tonight hands PDG a steaming mug of coffee with a good shot of 40 Creek in it
-
Good morning guys!
I'm here but waiting a phone call :thud: J, can you ask to Kianna to take it for me? :tearlaugh:
-
All I have to say is that if we were to get a hurricane then we got robbed ... what a joke this is where I am located.
It is barely spitting water now ... so much hype ... again
Kianna is always willing to help another ... especially if they are asking about your cars extended warranty :tearlaugh:
-
Nope, just a useless but forced phone call by administration. And it's not a scam, even if I wish it was.
Phone supposed to be for 2PM... we already are 2:04PM.
-
Kianna will be glad to take over she has such a manner about her to educate people on how to be punctual.
Well, this "hurricane" is definitely a joke I have taken showers with more water pressure then this has shown when rain was happening and now ... not raining at all.
:sigh:
-
You see, I wanted to answer to you, but in the same moment you wrote she had sent a mail and I received it while writting here. It seems the secretary didn't make the job by give correctly the phone number. Well, maybe, but the woman was doing dyslexia even with what we had to talk, so was it really secretary the mistaking one?
Anyway, it was a fight, it's over now. I won that battle, to see if I won the war. But it's the kind of things where you see how the State is losing money with useless stuff.
The talk had a duration of less than 30 minutes, I take it also like a nurse somewhere threatening the woman :iminnocent: Thank you :tearlaugh:
But I swear it's also the kind of person for who you wish to be a monkey to launch to her face some :bs:
-
They'll soon find out there is no way they should mess around with you Aelin LOL....
Good Morning to all....Been busy busy and busy here so haven't had a chance to gear up the computer...which actually felt great.....Always good to stay away from the darn thing for a bit....
But, not I have a ton of things to catch up on and get done.....
I see the Tropical Storm warnings are still up in some areas of Floriday...How much rain did you Florida folks get.
We are still in a dry spell. Suppose to get some rain today....But I'll not hold my breath waiting for it.
Yesterday was a Lorna clinic day so while she was clinicing I was stocking up on some items we ran out of due to company.
Got more folks over here then expected. Lorna was at Travis's place and I guess the neighbors figured it was up to them to keep me entertained....and they did a good job of it LOL.....
Anyway...let's see what I missed and get done what needs getting done....with :java: in hand
-
not enough rain to amount to anything is what i got
-
The grass grew another inch and as mentioned if that was supposed to be heavy rain I have a shower head that has more pressure then what I got from the sky.
No offense Mother Nature
-
Well at least I got the gutters done lol. About to start the pressure washer and the flood gate let loose lol.
-
I hated that job Noshoba.....Climbed onto the roof more then once....which was enough to convince me to get some gutter guards.....Have had no problems with gutter build up an no more roof climbing. I do take a power sprayer that has a special extension to reach the gutters and give them a good at the end of fall.
-
Rain..... spit and sprinkle, until I had to go outside... Then unzip the flood waters, until I go back in.... then spit and sprinkle. The rain bands are spaced more than usual, looks like it's heading into the Gulf to "warm-up a bit". Back 20 looks like it hasn't been mowed in years, though I did so last month. main and roadside are "Presentable".
Just another Florida day.
8 )
Cheers

I'm still thinking the Weather folks are off on their forecast today.....Suppose to rain....but the outside cats are sunbathing while the birds....who are less than 3 feet away from the cats....are on the ground pecking away LOLOL

Excellent end of day guys!

Hello,
Another beautiful summer day out in the desert, with clouds in the sky heading eastward. It is our monsoon season, but we don't get that much rain from it until September if we are lucky. Looks like the temperature is normal for this time of year at 114 degrees F. It makes me glad that I don't live on the equator where temperature can reach 130 degrees F, even though after 105 degrees it is just hot outside here.
Hope everyone is having the best day possible.
-
Good morning guys!
Don't know if I can stay, unexpected works in the complex like I'm writing that :sure:
-
Good Morning,
Another great day in the desert. Sun is rising and it is 94 degrees F outside.
Hi Aelin,
Well you know that with your work you are able to buy food, have a place to live and be able to do things. Most of us here understand that and there are time when you have to do things you don't want to do and time runs over. Hopefully it will not be very long to do what is needed. Sometimes you can think work is a four letter word but in the long run it is the main thing that we use in this world to be able to have a living and do things we like.

Works with a beginning of drill, then not a noise for a long time, then another beginning of a drill, then nothing more, can you call that real works? Sorry, I just call that noise. And according the location from where it comes, it's just that, noise. From the flat with a woman hating her husband. Hating to have people in "her home" (her words during a argue with her husband). Hating simply to have neighbors.
It's not as hard as with the neighbor we had before. But it's not fun. Beside the fact we have here 2 hamsters fragile to too much noise (and it's their birthday), I feel for people with heart problems or even other issues, and we have few in that building.

My miss understanding, I thought you were talking about work you do for a living and not about where you live. At lease you got some of it aired and hope it helps to relieved some of the stress. Happy Birthday to the Hamsters too.

Oh no, and if a part of me wishes to work at home (not noisy, just computer work like I do most of time), the other part of me knows I have the risk to be interested to see what happens on the forum during work time.
Working not far away from home is enough I think.
:lostme: Maybe a Thick Blanket for those poor fuzzy Friends For sound Proofing?
Would have to be a huge large blancket to disminish the noise. Depends also from where comes the noise. The "corridor" in each flat is sometimes like a resonance box.
In fact, the location contract says we haven't the right to use a drill in walls. There are already holes did and left by previous people, not allowed but the owner decided like they are here they can be used.
And if we have works to do, we have to warn neighbors. It was what happened in June when the couple in face of the flat had a flood after a pipe broke up. And I know the poors were telling "sorry" again and again before the disaster when of course they weren't responsibles. I wasn't home when the accident arrived; and was home when works were did.
Thank you for hamsters :peek: They appreciated their pumpkin seeds for today. They know it's a special day when they have them during the week, in addition of each Sunday. And they ate them immediately when they checked their food plates :tearlaugh: Not in the cheeks, directly under the teeth.

Which by the way we have skies that remind one of "the oncoming storm" :rainy: then again it might just pass us by ... anyone has a coin please flip it for me ... I call heads ....
4 days and 4 pages late to this conversation. I'd still like to mention some of THE most memorable reads I can happily still recall. The Soul Rider Saga, 5 thick paperback volumes. Kinda tough following contiguity in certain spots but Chalker was great at colorful description. Also his "Well World" series, or Nathan Brazil whichever ya like calling it. Not as thick but several quick and enjoyable reads there as well. Author is Jack L. Chalker. I think he passed away years ago, sadly. I should locate the full Nathan Brazil set. I have the whole Soulrider set, in paperback. Good for a re-read around now! :D Been a long while since I sat me down to reading paper books, about time I did some. The last was Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. Starts off with ERAGON. I know I know, they were written by a teenager FOR teens, but I found them very entertaining, to tell the truth. Loved the books, hated the movie. Something that drives me a lot with authors is their character development. I have read many authors that didn't seem to care as much about that as they did creating their universe in text. But me I gotta have great characters inhabiting that universe! Chalker and Paolini do that well. Thanks guys!
-
Sorry to be MIA for a good bit guys. Seems my internet got real wonky on me. Storms in the area must have knocked it off the air. Had to reset a couple of times in order to get this much. Been raining off and on for the last two days.

No worries Hip. Reality has a bad habit of encroaching on our home within home.
Keep smiling,

Well, this is going to be one of those expensive mistakes ... messing about with Poser today and set something up and set it to render and lo and behold I must have really cranked the setting s up as it is still rendering even though I put it in motion six hours ago.
Water ... the bane of my renders

J, isn't rendering in Superfly, whence the higher time for a render?
-
Long render times usually result from "cross-engine" textures and mats, Firefly mat in superfly will extend time, as will the obverse e'en more so.
But, twill be worth the time. At least you aren't running Reality. Great renderer, takes a bit of setup, never finishes..... you stop it when tis good enough. let it run a few days and 35mm film gets jealous. 8 )

Along with what Wizzard has stated.
Some of my renders have taken over 40 hours, especially when using vray and hdri, when I started rendering with 16bit computers with memory measured in megabytes a simple render would usually take at lease a half hour or more depending how many lights I used and the number of items that where in the render. Today the same is true, the more complicated the mesh is the longer it will take as with the number of lights or the use of hdri lighting and more if other lighting is used with hdri it will take even longer along with the size of the render all adds to the time it takes to render a picture.
-
Yup. I'd love to say that some machines we run don't even care. You just spend your time setting up the scene, click the Render In Background button and THWIP! it's done already. Unfortunately, BadMoonRYZEN is not a CRAY super computer. That THWIP! might be anywhere from 20 seconds to two hours, depending mostly on scene complexity and render size. I never used this rig for an HDRI lit scene, though having more than 20 V4's in the scene at one time did take a couple minutes! Um, WATER, with AO and render backfacing polys ON will stomp you down in a big hurry with either or both atmospherics and volumetrics on. Even the baddest CPU/GPU desktop combos take a hit with that stuff. Did that by accident recently. Saw the projected render time was in DAYS, not hours. Stopped that in a jiffy! Whew! Even with an octal core 64 gigs ram rig.
:thud:
-
I think it can depend on what 3D app you are using for your render as well. Each of the ones I have use certain render engines by default. As for how water renders in most of them? Well I've tried mostly in just two. DAZ Studio and Bryce. DAZ Studio is a 64 bit app on my PC, while Bryce is only a 32 bit app, and can you guess which one has the most realistic water? Well if DAZ Studio could run the Iray engine on my weak machine, the water might look good, but I can only run 3Delight to render in DAZ Studio. But Bryce has it right, rendering lake, ocean and sea scenes with relative ease. Of course there's gonna be a time length of hours for many of the renders, but it gets it done. What's more is that I can tweak the render settings to make the render look even better; plus there are settings in the Materials Lab for refraction, reflection, transparency, and so much more. Now for a 32 bit app, that's gotta be awesome, don't you think?

Good morning guys!
It's Fall back here :tearlaugh:
Concerning Bryce, even with my old Vista I had not bad renders, and yet I wasn't touching the program regularly. But at the end, my use from Bryce was more to create objects than making renders. That was before I try Hexagon, then discovered Wings3d.
-
I have Bryce 7.1, which is the last version produced, and that was over 10 years ago.
There was a large community of Bryce users, of which I was a part, and it included some rather big names in the business. My mentor in Bryce and Wings3D was David Brinnen. He's still around, but he has not made any new tutorials for either app and uploaded to YouTube in years, so far as I can determine. It does bear mentioning that the ones he did make are quite numerous, and some of the for Wings3D were at my request. He has a way of figuring out how to use the provided tools in unusual ways that give awesome results. Most of what I know about Bryce is knowledge I gained from him. He is a great friend to this day.
Now a lot of his tutorials still exist on YouTube, so if you want to learn something new about the programs he does tutorials for, I can suggest no better than David Brinnen's channel. Check him out!
-
I knew for his Bryce tutos and even follow few, but didn't know (or forgot) for the Wings3d ones. Will have to take a look.

For something like the last 45 years our first "COOL DAY OF THE YEAR" is normally sometime in October. That is a day that stays in the 70's F, with nice cool little breezes. We haven't had that YET here in July. But it does seem to be working on that!
It is also wet here, now. Raining again, and only a 20% chance of precipitation!

When I was 11 yrs old, I remember still getting frost in May as routine. In SE Texas. But now? Not down there, but up here in the Panhandle (high plains), that does happen for the norm. I recall during the time of Hurricane Carla we had snow and serious ice issues every year. Walking to/from school, a measly 7 blocks, got truly MISERABLE for us little kids. Then, knowing I was gonna get another whooping for messing up my school clothes falling down several times on the ice, i stood crying my little eyes out. But daddy pops in with the "Why when *I* was a kid, WE had to blah blah blah to school! Somehow, 7 MILES popped in, and barefoot. In FEET of snow. With ICE. Yeah roight. But as a 7 year old, I believed him. As a 19 yr old, I visited with and asked HIS daddy how far and in what conditions. I repeated the stories daddy told US. Granddaddy just howled with laughter. And we went and he showed me the route all 6 of his kids took to their school. Eleven Blocks. Half a mile. Up in the Alabama hills, the heavy snow and ice was not an exaggeration though. He said barefoot did sometimes happen. Then he said "Seven MILES!" and just grinned hugely..
((it took a while to count back all those years on my fingers!))

I was in Austin for two years, and in January of the second year, we had what was being called a blizzard. It got started by two weather systems merging; one out of the Gulf of Mexico, and the other out of the north. They converged right over Austin and northward in Texas; dumping record amounts of snow! I was at a boarding school, and was living in a dorm. My friends and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to have ourselves a Snowball War. There were drifts that were taller than me, and even then I was a tall guy. We snuck out the night before the Snowball War, which we had scheduled for Saturday. We wanted to make preparations to win that war, so we dug tunnels through the snowdrifts for unobservable movement on the battlefield, and we built a Snowfort that we fortified by pouring water on our walls and letting it freeze hard.
When the Snowball War began, we were the best prepared dorm, and we did win the war. They could not knock our fort down with their snowballs. We had created a Snowball launcher that we could launch larger snowballs with; basically a slingshot on steroids. We knocked all the other dorms' forts down except two. Out of twelve dorms, that was a great record. The other two had been knocked down before we got to them. Our fort took two days to melt completely away. The best part was the fun we had, but the prize was to go and see a Clint Eastwood movie at the theater in town. Cannot recall which one it was, but it was a Western.

I have no idea how many the level is, but rising a little since last evening. I hope more.
I hope that because we have people installed on a ground where they must not be. Would have no problem with that, except they are adepts of the middle finger when you look them installing on the rugby field since your own window. I called the gendarmerie (the name for the countryside police here) and I'm sure I'm not alone (and was probably not the only one to the window also). There was also a little truck behind the kayak club, and in first place I thought it was another vehicle with the caravans, but no, it was somebody from the kayak club.
I didn't see the coming of the gendarmerie guys, BUT the rugbymen came, turned around a caravan and make them leave.
Second round. The caravans started to put on one of the parking shops. Shops were closed yesterday here.
Called again the gendarmerie. This time they came, they made them leaving from the parking... to allow them to put on a ground very close to the river. Between the river and the area where we put the glasses we throw, how safe it's for children!
I bet it's a part of a group that few days ago wanted to go on the soccer field from another town not far away from here. Pretending the areas created for their caravans aren't safe for children (too much water...) and that they can't park their caravans in campings (when tourists can...). I precise, the areas were made specifically for those groups and have everything: clean water, electricity, things for their garbages... Made by towns and cities because they were forced by the governements years ago. Fine, those people need indeed to have areas for them. But each time, there are few between them not wanting to follow the rules. The few make a reputation to all the people living all over the year in caravans.
For now the city hall doesn't seem ready to make something. Then we have to manage with rude people, and turning again and again on their feet around the shops when they are closed, or the houses at the other side of the street.
That's why I hope the sun will leave for teh rest of the day, and will leave the place to the rain, always more rain for the next days. Because mayors are responsible is something happen to people illegally in flood grounds, and in those cases suddenly teh city halls are able to do something.
I just regret we don't have the mayor from the other town. He didn't leave them install, and already last year fought against the irrespectful ones.
-
hope they get the caravaners straightened out Aelin
-
i DON'T mean to sound terrible, but is that simply another word for 'Gypsies'? I sure hope not, for sure.
-
Thank you Lord and Goddess of the weather! :grenade: :grenade:
They are gone now. Few started to leave while I was reading what you said Fafnir, but didn't want to say "victory" too earlier.
Gypsies is maybe not the word, McG, even if they live such life. But there are many people not being gypsies in France and who live in caravans.
Most of the people with caravans respect the rules, and I have absolutely no problem with their ways. It's the few making problems who are annoying, like the ones we had.
In fact, we call "gens du voyage" ("travellers" or "travelling people") everyone living like that, no matter they are gypsies or not. And each year many of all their communities go to the village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for a pilgrim. They come not just from France, but from all the Europe. They can be easily 10 000 to come, and from what I'm aware there are no problems with them.
And many of the areas on all the France dedicated to travellers living all over the years in caravans were created in relation with associations of "gens du voyage", to allow the best possibilities for them. But still the few making problems aren't happy with those areas.
For example, in the previous town where I lived, one such area (water, electricity, bins, free internet - and I forgot toilets) was not far away from the hospital. Reaction of the annoying ones? "Too small, not enough comfort, bad placed in the town"!
Maybe between the few ones there are Gypsies, maybe not, I can't tell. Fortunately the annoying ones aren't all the community of "gens du voyage".

I saw the images from there and Germany. Dry would be good for them. Looks very bad.
Most of the west here could use some rain. There are a few hundred wildfires burning over a rather wide area here and there are a number in the western US as well.
An EF2 tornado dropped on a city just north of me yesterday afternoon. 100 meter wide contact patch for 5 kilometers. With rain expected here later today the roofers, contractors, construction workers, and private people are rushing to close up roofs and lessen whatever more damage will occur today and tonight.
Weather is getting worse. Climate change is hard to deny irregardless of it;s cause.

With rain expected here later today the roofers, contractors, construction workers, and private people are rushing to close up roofs and lessen whatever more damage will occur today and tonight.
Weather is getting worse. Climate change is hard to deny irregardless of it;s cause.
Wild fires are also a risk in the South of the France. When there is rain not so far away. But the depression called "the droplet" is above our heads on the West of the Europe since one week. It's that one which gives so much rain.
Netherlands is fearing the water coming from Belgium and Germany too.
Hope for people in your area they are or were able to cover everything before the rain.
I got the same promo material and I haven't run a version of Studio since 3.14 or some such number. :lostme:
And I read already such offers are also done for people already owning all the stuff from such bundles. It's like that since the newest version of their store :shrug:
I ran the Daz 4 under more than one version. But I decided to stop to the 4.9 I think. Don't want to be back with big issues such as Poser stuff like grey boxes each time I reopen a scene (it was a problem I had with my first DS4 version). And I have no real envy to play with Genesis 8. More DS is greedy now.
I play still with DS3 version.

Excellent end of day guys!
-
Good evening all! Or good morning now. :lostme:
-
Thanks Aelin!
-
Good morning guys!

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning to all......
Yes, I've been gone all week.....Took a week off of the net to give the eyes a rest. Amazing how much I got done around here.
Got new plants for the yard....
Built a Birdhouse from scratch.....
Cleaned out shed #2 then put most of what I cleaned out back in the shed...but neatly this time. (The "Ya never know when you'll need it" theory prompted that action)
And then hunkered down while the two days of storms battered us...but with MUCH NEEDED RAIN... The wind could have been worse but we lucked out in our area...but Barabo got pounded with 70-80 MPH winds. A lot of trees down and power lines down....
Anyway....Hope you all had a great week....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....I'll give you a buzz later in the day.....Got to get the chores done in here first....
Have a great day everyone.... :java: Ahhhhhh
-
Great to hear from you, TL. Rest is good!
-
Absolutely right....but the "Catching UP" is hell :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: But I love it....
Even the relatives were concerned...the Daughter had to let them know all is well....Yup...I didn't even get into messenger.....I told Lorna she was my secretary for the week...Respond to all :tearlaugh:
Believe me....I'll make up for it next week....
-
Great to hear from you, TL. Rest is good!
By the way....I saw where your neck of the woods got some Storms and some flooding....How was it for you?
-
Two days of intense rain and thunderstorms. Nothing in the house but some neighbors had more serious trouble with flooding (yards and basements). Unlike last summer, we kept our power. And no tornado this time. :woohoo:
-
That is good news about keeping the power and no tornados. Saw some of the flooding on my Newsfeed....it was a YIKES moment and you popped into my head right away....
Mother Nature has been in a pissed off mood of late......Can't imagine why... :java:
-
Afternoon..going through the joys of getting rid of duplicate files..and trying not to have a stroke at the current prices for external hard drives.. Yes need to grab a new one. The 12 tb is almost full.
-
Well, I am back had a power outage for the last 2-1/2 hours ... decided to go outside and entertain myself by reading since naught else was working ... :thud: :shrug:
Finished one manga and read another quarter of the book that is currently on the top of the to be read pile, granted it is a reread of a series I read previously when it first came out (1983) ... got a selection of books from a friend looking to downsize and one of them was volume one of the series and that was all it took to drag me back into that world .... currently on volume three of eight
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin...Thanks for all you do.....
-
Good morning guys!
This time we have full sun, which is just in time for a Sunday :tearlaugh:

Honestly Fafnir this is really the only day I truly have the time tocook.
-
Hope you have a great day Nosh
-
Thanks for that coffee Fafnir! It's a better morning than it was a night last evening. I overdid it, pushing to get some stuff done. And I paid in pain. So, I got to be more aware of the fatigue creeping up. With a few hours of solid sleep, Feeling much much better now :)
And nothing better to greet a good mood than a good cuppa COFFEE! :woohoo:
Hope All have a wonderful day!
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Just got back from early church. I hope your day is enjoyable!
-
Good Morning to all.....A beautiful day here.....74 Degrees, sun shinning, slight breeze, .... Got the flag up, birds feed, the feral cats feed, water changed for birdbath and cats, plants deadheaded, and now I relax for a bit.
Going out later on to either get some KFC in Illinois or some Chinese in Janesville. Both are the same driving distance so it's a heads or tails decision....LOL...
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir :java: ahhhhh. Good talking to you yesterday.....
McG....I'm learning to listen to my body more and more....and I tell you what...it's tough at times. Your mind says NO PROBLEM....but the BODY SAYS "NO WAY" And when I don't listen to my body.....I hurt for days LOLOL....
I love Shrimp Noshoba but HATE Grits.....Just saying "Grits" gives me the heebee-jeebees....
Morning Sir Knight....I'm still not comfortable with gatherings so I do "Live Church Streaming" from our local parish...works out great...I get to drink coffee during the services...and I don't have to nudge those nodding off next to me.... :-)
Glad you're having a Sunny Sunday Aelin...ENJOY
And now to take a stroll with :java: in hand...
-
Good Morning,
Looks like rain is in the forecast for this coming week. Tried to rain this morning but just got a dripple of rain for about 5 minutes. Well it is cooler now and back to normal temperature again. Presently 99 degrees F and and looking for a high of 102 degrees. That is a lot cooler than 116 + like we had last week.
-
I start melting at 80 Degrees..... LOLOL....
Enjoy your day....
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Have a good rest, Aelin.
-
How cute we are in the crosshairs of rain for the evening. Stands to reason since I just took the weed eater to the "backyard" and chopped it all down. :sigh: :rainy:
-
Hrrrmmmm...... I checked the charge of the batteries, extended the "wand", started walking towards the door with the Wackus Weedus ready to go...
Loud boom, flash of light, unzipping of clouds and drenching commenced.
Turned around, collapsed the "wand", unclipped the battery, replaced in holder.
Someone doesn't want me to trim the lawns.
-
That is what I get for going out at 1:00 in the afternoon. Bright and sunny although it was a bit dicey as the cutting line ran out. Took quite a bit of messing about before I figured out how to load new line so I could finish ... but finish we did .... and here comes the rain to make it grow again :sigh:
-
While we were supposed to get all wet today, the sun shone bright and clear, had nice breeze going on. So BiL got his car up on jacks and changed out the rear struts. These days they come as a pre done cartridge like. He was started and done in less than 2 hours. Me I took care of the cats, fed me, watched TV a while. Pluto had a rash of good movies on today. I enjoyed it all. :woohoo:
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roasted ham with sweet taters
-
Good morning guys!
-
Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin. Another day above ground! :woohoo:
Today at my breaks, I'll be trying to start up a machine that hasn't been turned on since 1994. Main floppy drive is 5 1/4. Should be fun.
-
Well, ye ole rain that was threatening to visit never did .. reminded of that "whats her name" hurricane that was supposed to make central Fl flood ... another no-show ... :sigh:
-
Good Mornin' all. Coffee much appreciated Fafnir. Just the thing to get the ol' Mk 1 eyeballs unglued from sleep. Supposed to rain today, but we shall see. Aliene off for the next four days so I got to sleep in. :woohoo: Not to mention finally getting some work done on Poser. Been working on a manuscript and it just kept tugging at me so I couldn't just leave it. Started to whimper all the louder!!!!!
Now just sitting here and planning for whatever is to come. Just hope that I can get by without having to go out. Tired of driving about day after day after day .... you get the picture. And now for some of that promised :java: !!!!!!!
-
Good Afternoon folks.....
Tis a warm humid one here....but that's fine with me since I did all my outside stuff early this morn when it was cool and breezy...Plus....all the coffee in the pot was mine since Lorna tends to sleep late LOL...
Tomorrow I'll be MIA. I have appts in the Morn and Lorna has PT (Physical Therapy) in the afternoon...and after she's done with them...we have to gather some groceries...by the time that's all done....the net is the last thing that comes to mind LOL...
Use to be a time when nothing could keep me offline.....I still have those moments....but not often anymore...Got a ton of other things to keep me occupied of late.
I'm watching Pluto right at the moment Mc-G. Always something cool on there.... I've also been watching a lot of Peacock. They have the last 5 episodes of Faceoff on there...plus some damn good free movies. They have all of the Harry Potter Movies to view for free as well as my Favorite Jason Bourne series....
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir and good morning Aelin, HS, "J"....and Sir Knight, (5-1/4 Floppies...YIKES LOL)
Have a great day folks...
-
Excellent end of day guys!
Tomorrow is a long day, I don't think I'll be back before my evening.
-
Hello.
It was an interesting day yesterday. We got that rare thing out here called rain. More is expected this week but I wouldn't hold my breath. It is getting close where about every 25 years we usually have a massive flood in the valley, it has been a little more than 22 years since the last big one. Hopefully when it dose hit all the flood control they put in since the last one will work. Presently we have the low temperature around 85 degrees F and the high is averaging around 101 to 105 now.
-
Have a good evening Aelin.
-
Have a great night Aelin....
As for Rain M-C.....Not sure when we get out next batch. Still in the Severe Draught category I guess....
Sir Knight....Funny you should mention....Floppies..... How to geek just sent this out today: "From Idea to Icon" (https://www.howtogeek.com/740436/from-idea-to-icon-50-years-of-the-floppy-disk/)
-
Except for the Lisa weird format, I've had and used all of those mentioned in that article. The machine did power on. I found that I needed an old IBM keyboard to talk to it. I'm not sure I still have one. Will have to look. This machine can talk to 8", 5.25" and 3.5" floppies. The hard disk is slightly smaller than a shoe box. And the video card is covered in discrete components.
Forward into the past!
-
Good Luck on finding the Keyboard. I threw out my last bunch of 5.25 and 3.5" floppies away when I retired. Kept them around just in case.....for what...I have no idea....LOLOL....
I did discover that our local Library has older computers in their upper level for those that have floppies they need to read.... I had saved all the discs to Tape Drive....then to Mem Sticks....then to externals LOL...
-
Thought I'd pop this in here because they are making fantastic progress....Take a peek, stroll around, get involved....it's for a great cause.... Internet Archive Digital Library (https://archive.org/)
-
Oy, but that sounds like old times. I think I've still got a few floppies here and there. Just not sure where.
Seems the rain finally caught up with us. Bout an hour or so ago, had some MAJOR thunderboomers come through. That and enough rain to float the Ark. I came down here like the monsoons of Korea, only not as long. Thankfully, the rain has ended, even though I can still hear a good game of sky bowling in the distance. May have to go out in a bit as it seems we have run out of dry dog food.
And I just asked Connie if we needed to get any the last time we visited WallyWord a couple of days ago. :lostme:
Go figure . . . . .
-
Okay, just got back from WallyWorld, and just in time. Saw a dark mass of clouds on the horizon and had to race it back home. Luckily, got everything loaded up and transported inside. It was while putting groceries up and feeding critters that it REALLY started to come down. Once again looking like Korea during the monsoon. Only lasted bout a half hour this time. Really feel sorry for Austin though. Judging from the weather weenie radar, they got hammered all over again.
-
Went to the Pine Mountains for my oldest sister Tammie's 63rd Birthday. We threw the party at Warm Springs, which is where FDR went for the medicinal properties of the spring water. The party was a big success, with all my siblings and their extended families attending.
The reason this one is so important is because she has stage 3 breast cancer. We all are praying for her, but we know that she will likely not be with us much longer. We hope she lives several more years, so we shall see.
Of me and my siblings, two brothers and three sisters, I am the oldest, and my health is better than all of theirs. I don't know why, but it does concern me. I do have my health issues too, but nothing quite as bad as my siblings have. Someone told me to be thankful, and I am, but not for how my brothers and sisters are faring. I would give my life to save any of theirs. Just how I am, and I think that's a good thing. It just doesn't help that I cannot help them with their issues. I don't want to lose any of them.
-
Hi Cleve. Pretty sure most of us in here know just what you feel about that. We're pretty much the same in all that. God Bless ya man. It's GOOD we all still care!
-
I was watching a NEW! episode of Josh Gates and his Discovery Channel "The Secret". It combined all the important bits from all three of their Secret Treasure Hunt episodes. So Now I have been officially dunked in a cuppa "The Secret" by Byron Preiss 1982. And that THREE of the twelve have now officially been solved and awarded their gems! Anyone else know anything about this thing? I have seen "proof" of several city-verse-image pairings. And St. Augustine Florida sure seems a solid one to me. Houston as the July-Ruby one? I dunno bout that one. But hey, I only JUST got initiated into the fold last night, ok? SO give me a bit of time to do exactly the kind of sleuthing I KNOW a bunch of us here love to do. Hear that Dan, Michael and David huh?!?!?!?! Ha HAAAAA!
Dad GUMMIT! I am hours into my gaming time right now! Later y'alls! :D
-
morning coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked pork roast with all the trimmings and sweet tater wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the :java:. Much needed today.
Agent, I will pray for improved health for Tammie as well as wisdom for her doctors and comfort for you and the rest of her family.
-
Morning Cleve.....Sending some Positive Vibes to you and yours my friend. Always good when families gather in a positive way. It gives strength to all...and in such times....Strength along with love and compassion is the glue that keeps families together.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Thanks for the coffee Fafnir. I figured I'd sneak in here quick before I have to take Lorna to her PT today.
Morning Sir Knight.....Hope your day is a fast and productive one.....
Sounds like you got home just in time yesterday HS....And yup...looks like Austin and surrounding area has some more rain coming in....Guess it might be due to La Nina
LOL....You have fun with that Mc-G.....I do love the Discovery Channel but Treasure Hunt Clues is not one of them....Besides...I'd find a clue and forget what it was the next day :tearlaugh:
And now to get one chore done and take a quick tour and then go S, S, and S. (I'm sure most will understand that code LOL)
:java: Ahhhhhh
-
IT's ok man, I am already feeling that spike of interest wane. Getting sleeeeepy now! I look over and see my comfy fresh made bed just waiting for me to get in and comfy....zzzz !!!! G'nite y'all!
I think Josh's excitement gets contagious yaknow. It did help that the guests DID solve the puzzle and get the gemstone reward for that key! But it took him, his wife and kids two years to make it happen. In the end, success is so sweet!
-
Have a good rest, McG.

Good afternoon guys.
I'm here with sad heart, because our little Coquinette has joined her brother Bébé Castor during the night. The consolation is that happened during her sleeping time in her house.

Excellent end of day

sorry to hear of your loss Aelin

Sorry to hear of that Aelin. Always sad to loose a friend. Even a little one.
Hang in their Cleve, just know that the Force is with you . . . . always.
-
So sorry to hear it, Aelin! :sad: :sadder:
-
Thanks for all the support, my friends. Tammie looked better than I had seen her a few days earlier, and she was about as active as someone in her condition can get. Some preachers have told her that God is not done with her yet. They predict that she is going to do something great for the glory of God! I really need to believe that. After losing Pop the way I did, I don't know how much more of that I can sanely deal with. Pop passing like he did, and me being the one that discovered he had passed took a big toll on me. I still dream about that day. I was doing all I could to keep him alive, but when the time comes, there can be no stopping it. That was proven to me big time that day.
-
Morning coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with baked taters
-
Good morning guys. ANd thank you for your words :peek:
Coquinette was taken to the vet today, for incineration. While waiting to see him for papers, a woman came with her baby, her dog and a lonely dog she found ready to cross the street. The vets couldn't keep the dog, the woman wasn't from the town, his only possibility was to be impounded... or the vets accept to leave him with us, the time his family call back the cabinet.
I consider Coquinette helped one last time like that, like she needed help when she was presented to me.
Concerning Rexxie, he had the identification, his Mom was called without success at first, and the time we were back at home, his Mom was just arriving. The funny part? She is the sister of the vets' secretary and the woman didn't recognize the dog, nor the phone number of her own sister :tearlaugh: But all was well, Rexxie had a good walk and his happy ending.

Excellent end of day

Be well Aelin...

That is the way of it dear Aelin. The Big Boss works in mysterious ways. We lost Miko a few years ago. Connie found an advert to give pups away. At first, I said not no, but HELL NO. Next day, right out of the blue, I asked if she wanted to check out said pup. No clue as to why, just did. Went over there and talked to the owners. The little guys were in the house and one of them was brave enough to take a peek down the hallway. Connie looked over at him and he come charging down the hallway like a runaway freight train. Jumped up in her lap and began washing her face. When the other crtitters got to her and him, he was warning them all off with a series of growls that had them all, including me, taking a step back. That was Kibitz, the untrained medical dog.
And Cleve, hate to tell you this buddy, but that seems to be something that the firstborn make child gets saddled with since time immemorial. So, you are NOT alone in such things.

I think you are right about that, but it sure doesn't make things easy to handle. Watching my siblings go through illnesses and other health issues that I myself am not suffering from is hard to do. I do have some health issues, but none as bad as what my siblings have. As for Tammie, I am praying for her and hoping for the best that can be.
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with plenty melted butter for dipping and all the trimmings hushpuppies too

got some more much needed rain last night and hope for more rain and I hope that everyone has a great day filled with many blessings

Good morning guys.
Hipshot, at the beginning of 2008 I was looking for a new cat to adopt, to the local shelter. Didn't want to take a grey cat because several around in the family and at friends' homes were very bad mood cats.
When the adoptable cat house was opened, the first on a shelf I saw was that grey face, interested by what happened, but didn't move, just continued to look. The cat I maybe would take was already waiting his new owners came. Another was a granny cat, and it was too early for I pass through a lose again (didn't know our tiny dog would leave 4 months later). Most of the other cats in the background of the house didn't want to be adopted and no one caught my eyes.
Back inside the cat house, Puce was still looking what happened. And she is now near me while I'm writting. She is like a cat-dog in her behavior. Maybe because she was abandonned twice in her first year of life. But the fact is she is absolutely not like the otehr grey cats I knew, she is a sweet one. Even if she has tendency with her eyes to show she would prefer to be the exclusive cat to the house; that seems to be a common way for all grey cats I know or knew. :shrug:
I think animals feel better than us if they have to come with us or not. Except the ones trying to charm every human :tearlaugh:
-
Cleve, it does seem like we are both on the same page. Being the oldest of the family does have its drawbacks. And I know exactly what you mean.
Aelin, it is most hard to turn away from the little ones. I TRIED to turn down Princess when we first got her, but Connie knew my weak point. I was just beginning to tell her I just did not want another dog when she brought this gorgeous little Chichuahua out brought her out. Needless to say, I melted right on the spot. One look into those eyes and the Fat Lady was done and on her way completely off stage.

evening thunder boomer went thru did leave some rain still looking a dark grey outside so more to come

Good morning guys!
Today is a very wwarm day. Already 86°F at 11 AM, despite the forecast weather telling we should have only 90°F today at the maximum.
We are also under the threathening of thunderstorms according to them. We'll see :shrug: Waiting, the river is still high, even if less than few times ago, and the stream is always strong.
And this morning I made the town from a side to the other near the river, to find the she-goats we are supposed to have around. No track, like each time I tried. I guess their owner decided to bring them back at home (which would be safer for them). Or they are very very good to hide and seek :tearlaugh:
-
Good afternoon guys.

So sorry to hear that Aelin....Hugs...

Good Morning to all.....
Spent yesterday getting the yard done since our high temp was only 82.....but starting today...the highs will be in the upper 90's....which I don't do well in. I melt FAST.... So got everything done while taking my time since the cool breeze felt great...
I guess the upper 90's is going to be sticking around here the rest of this week and all of next week....with no chance of rain. It's been one dry year here and then some...nothing like the West Coast though.
And the Milwaukee Bucks are now the NBA Champs....and the crowds were HUGE. I'm not much of a Basketball fan but I'm a Wisconsin fan so I cheer for any Wisconsin team that wins a Championship.
Cleve...I can relate....I'm the oldest of 5 boys and there are only two of us left....
And now to make my tour. With :java: in hand.....Thanks Fafnir....
-
You hang in there Cleve. I learned long long ago that when our Maker says "Come home" that is what we do, period. I feel closer to my end, but at 67, that's kinda normal. And we go when He says. Not when we think. Just take care of yourself during all this, make sure you eat somewhat properly, and stay hydrated. Emotional stuff like this is hard on the body. Be good to you, ya hear?
-
seconded.
In the end, that's all you can do Cleve. Hate to say it, but you just have to suck it up and deal with it. It's NEVER easy, but it is survivable. I'm one of four, and now we are two. Lost my older sister and younger brother. Just me and my little sister. And I, for one, am intending to stick around for a good long while yet. Planning to annoy the hell out of the younger generation for all the annoyances - can be read as love - they gave me. So, bring it on LIFE!!!!!!!
:ifonly: :woohoo:
-
Dear Aelin,Two days ago I was looking at YouTubes of pets, and found some other cute pet pics. Some were of 'Happy Hamsters'. I thought of you when looking at them. So sorry for your loss M'Lady. You are special to all of us, so anything special to you is special to us. I will just say, I see your little baby laying on his back with a whole leaf of his favorite veggie just nibbling up a storm, happy as he can be.Good night, Aelin. Be well!

:thud: Just got back from Temple VA. Trip up wasn't bad. Got there in good time and got shorted out in short order. The trip back home was something else. We were on short numbers as it was. Aliene wanted a little something from Micky D's and were attempting to get back home in order to take her to work. That was at 3 and it was now after 230. Normally takes twenty minutes from Killeen to Temple.
Problem . . . . .
Ran into a rather bad accident on I14 that closed down both westbound lanes. Everybody was bailing at whatever exit they could find . . . or even make! Luckily, the accident was right by an exit, so no problem there. The Force must have been with us though. Aliene's job called and told her to come in later. Now back home and chilling . . . . also considering other images to enter in contest.
:ifonly:
-
Wonder what can jump in your mind after a pizza party :ifonly:
Excellent end of day guys
-
Good to hear the trip was good.....and that the "Force" was with you..... :grenade:
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ chicken with all the trimmings

Good morning guys
Thanks for your words McG. I told anything last evening because I followed my intuition to turn off internet. And just as I did that, the thunderstorm was arriving on the horizon.
-
Guys, there is only 1 week before we come to August. Don't forget to participate in our contests:
Anniversary contest (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24268.0)

You're welcome :)McG.

I hope all are having a grand day today. I'm in for the day.....going to be to darn hot out for me and I have taken care of all that needed to be done outside on the ONE cool day we had....
Well, I do go out to put the food out for the feral cats, and give them fresh water, and then clean and fill the bird bath, and fill up the bird feeders (though I think I'll have to take them down soon...some new bird virus is out and infecting song birds) It's not here in our part of Wisconsin yet, but they say it's on the way.......
Anyway....thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Ahhhhhh
-
The bird disease is already here in Pennsylvania. We've taken down all of our feeders. The birds keep coming and looking at the spots, however.
-
I may take mine down just in case......
Jul 24, 2021 — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said the unidentified illness has not been linked to any bird deaths in Wisconsin.
Stanley Temple, a UW-Madison Professor Emeritus of Wildlife Ecology, says summer illnesses in birds are not uncommon.
“These kind of late summer die-offs in bird populations are actually quite normal,” said Temple.
He says it’s the cause and magnitude of this particular illness that is alerting local ornithologists.
“It’s still a bit of a mystery about what is causing the die-off,” said Temple. “It’s not particularly surprising that it’s happening.”
Both Temple and Reetz say more people have become interested in bird feeding during the pandemic.
“A lot of people actually turned to birds in this last year as a source of respite and joy,” said Reetz.
Temple says Wisconsin is a bird-loving state.
“Wisconsin and Madison have a higher percentage of households feeding birds than elsewhere in the country,” said Temple. “People are just more in tune with keeping their bird feeders filled and watching what’s happening because they’ve been doing it for years.”

I know the sun going toward the sunset can give some different colors. Yet suddenly for a long moment we have had a yellow, very yellow, color for the sky and light. I suspect we have again sand of Sahara in our clouds. Like in February.

Wonder what can jump in your mind after a pizza party :ifonly:
Excellent end of day guys
I talked it over with Merlina and she is of the opinion that it is none of my bloody business! Her and the girls have been heading out to the woods with some nefarious(?) plans in mind. We shall see.

Does that affect your weather?
-
Does that affect your weather?
It's possible. Years ago and in February, there were rains with sand.
And for what I remember, sand is part of hurricanes. Not that we can have one from Sahara. But it can participate with our storms. And we are still with a thunderstorm alert.

Good Afternoon to all.....
Had a very busy morning since we ran out of some items and though "THE HEAT IS ON" outside....Lorna and I figured we'd better venture out and get that what is needed and hurry back home....
Obviously...it didn't work out that well. We both forgot that this weekend is the Green County Fair....which we both are avoiding, but traffic in our small community was a sonofagun.
Anyway...got what was needed, And all is well once again....A/C Ahhhhhhhh......Feels Great....
But then I had to go back out and fill up the Bird Bath Water after cleaning it out...and the Cats water....It was HOT HOT HOT....so I gave them Cold Cold Cold water...and now all is in the shade,,,,until it's not in the shade....

Yup on the sands being part of Hurricanes.... Wasn't sure what other weather changes are affected by the sand....I'm sure Mother Earth knows LOL....
Stay safe...

Good afternoon, one and all. Had to take daughter to work and drop by WallyWorld in order to pick up doggy food. Connie had a sugar emergency so had to grab a quick bite on the way back home. Now back and chilling in the casa.
Still considering other entries. Tried to get the girls' opinions on what I should do and once again got shot down and shown the door. :thud: Guess that little pizza party of theirs got the little gray cells firing off at a record pace. Or not. Think I'll grab a good cuppa :java: and see what else I can find out.

Hello everybody! Well I got caught by a bug. Definitely related to the hay fever kinda thing, along with the weather change. It rained Saturday. Rained yesterday morning. Rained this morning. Head decided to get all chugged up and leaky. yuck . Benadryl is helping, along with bed rest. So, g'nite y'all!

Hope it will be better sooner for you McG :peek:

Good morning guys!
I'm back from the spiders hunting in the room being like a cellar. We did it once and quickly since the move, like we hadn't a real use of it. But it's time the ladies understand they can find a lot of other locations, specially outside. Knowing they don't like the smell of lavendar, it was freely offered to them lavender hydrolate all around the room, and specially 1 or 2 pushes near holes where a spider was hidding when they knew they were seen.
Before we enter in the flat 2 or 3 believed they could take quarters in the bathroom and the same treatment was done. Since, no one was back in that room.

Guys, does any of you still receive the Daz's newsletters? It seems I didn't have one in 1 week :lostme: I never stopped to suscrib to them.
-
I received one yesterday, the usual sale, join Prime, surpriseingly, naught for the next contest here. New character and accessories.
-
And one today titled:
Christmas in July
Special Sales All Week
Cheers
-
:lostme: I guess they simply pushed me out of their list.
Well, I won't suscribe again through their immondous female warrior :shrug: Thank you for your double answer Wizzard :peek:
-
I've been receiving a storm of them recently:
July 22: A Cursed Merman and Creatures of the Deep
July 22: The Daz Season Pass 2 Is Here
July 23: Mega Bundle: Your Merman Prince Charming
July 24: Missing Shark Week Already? Don't Miss Extra Savings on Egyptian 3D Models!
July 25: Wolfgang Pirate Daz Original Bundle + Huge Selection of Items for $5 or $10
July 26: Sail the Seas to Battle for Treasure
and the one Wizzard mentioned. Has your E-mail service turned on "SPAM" protection that is filtering these?
-
It's the basic gmail box, and the only things in my spams were 2 "auto-warfed" (if I write correctly) from Poserworld. No Daz in my spams. And I remember when we had FA/FRM mails not liked by gmail, they ended in spam list.
I didn't click on any link to stop to receive the daz mails when I open them, because I still take care to put aside the cursor when opening them.
And today, I took the freebie they are offering, the raven outfit, and I have received the confirmation order on the box.
In fact, I have checked now what I left in my trash, and I can't confirm the exact date because I have removed last week several mails from inside, but it's maybe July 9th I had my last newsletter from Daz. Didn't notice because I had still orders... and a lot of newsletters from Rendo :shrug:
-
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Rendo says their thingie is broken to control mailouts. I do not believe that at all. I think it's a Jenn Blake thingie wants to shower me in doo doo of PRIME! and DAZ ONLY stuff. I will never subscribe to any of that stuff and absolutely hate being stuck with being forced to see DAZ only stuff. Send me POSER ONLY stuff dammit! Noooo. Well, nuff said.
-
Thank you Aelin.
also, I have had the complete RAVEN outfit and character set for years. I like it! OH I got the Motorcycle too. :)

Good Morning to all.....
Had a lot going on yesterday so missed getting in here...and other places....LOL....
I'll have a triple cup of :java: Fafnir.....
Good Morning Sir Knight, Aelin, PDG, and guests....
As for Newsletters....I get them all...though I did try once again to shut down that one I get from Poser about me Contacting them...which I've never done :thud: As for Daz.....I get the notices but typically, Aelin is the one who points me to what is going on over there....
And on that note....Time for a tour.
Going to be our hottest day of the year today...close to 98 degrees in some areas...and then the storms...and we have a Derecho (https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/chicago-milwaukee-metro-areas-at-risk-for-damaging-derecho/ar-AAMCL1Q?ocid=winp1taskbar) warning out already.

I shall return...have to take Lorna out to pick up her new meds.....
-
:lostme: Can Connie Get a Glucose Monitoring System?
Got one from the VA and I bought one from WallyWorld as backup. Problem comes when she takes her meds and then doesn't eat right away. I do try to ride herd on her. Though keeping her on the straight and narrow can be difficult.

Hi
It rained quite a bit here a few days ago. Not enough for the usual 25 year flood. Where we have flood control it works well, and where thay did not put in flood control the places that the town, or now a city had flooded out. This place is buliding out so fast and now we have a housing shortage. Oh well I guess it is people trying to escape California and there high taxes and high crime rates. I can't blame them for leaving, I just hope they don't vote for things that got them in trouble in the first place.
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
Been to California a couple of times and enjoyed the sites after our day of conventions....but certainly wouldn't want to live there. To hot, to busy, to hot, and did I mention, to hot?
-
And nowadays too crazy
-
Our temperature is back to normal out here. Today the moring was a cool 85 degrees F and presently it is 103 outside. I think we are a little warmer than Southern Califormia. I like the temperature here it seem a little to cool where you are.
-
However, the humitidy just makes up for the dry air and temperatures here. It seem hotter back east with all that moisture.
-
Your low for the day is our high for the day right now. LOL
-
Crazy is a too small word for some, specially for "celebrities".
Excellent end of day guys
-
Indeed it is young lady
-
I agree Aelin....have a great night.....
-
You all make me feel bad. I have been in California for 57 years and more then 40 in So Cal. There are many things I love about this state and a few I would like to change. A big change may be in mid September depending on the peoples choice. If there is no change, I may finally need to move. Hopefully to another state where freedom means something and is not just another word for nothing left to loose.
-
Should be interesting to follow what happens in the near future
-
I lived in California a long time ago. When I left there Ronald Regan was the Govenor of the State. It is rather sad to see a state decline like Californan has. It was a shining example of a state that was a leader in education, manufacting, farming, various type of trades and the unemployment rate was very low.
-
I think it is very sad too
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be brisket with all the trimmings

Good morning guys!
I try to post because we have a very slow connection. It seems the fiber cable guys are working on lines - again - since this morning. I don't know what they are doing, like they are supposed to have ended works in the street since early Spring.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
How about that a day off and I just now decided to get on the web and visit the normal places.
Granted I was still working on the "computer" as in Stormbringer this time and since it is not connected to the web and is for Poser and sorting of files we made headway on both fronts.
About time I get something constructive started on those topics.
Although we have been enjoying a Dr. Who marathon starring Jon Pertwee .... got to love owning a complete collection
-

Uh huh. The one from VA is like that. Unfortunately, sometimes they take a bit to send out more strips. And the ones for them cost a lot more than I would like when I need them in an emergency. That's the only reason that I picked one up on the cheap like that.
-
mormin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roasted smoked turkey with all the trimmings and tater wedges

it gets kinda bad when a major drugstore can't be a reliable source of insulin syringes and insulin just be glad i keep a reserve supply of both i mean how could you be out of stock of insulin or needles sorry way to do business happened twice to Janet time to move scripts to a dependable drugstore
-
Yikes! Glad you have a backup supply. I hope you find a reliable source soon.
-
I will i got a couple sources in mind
-
Good morning guys!

Good Morning to all.....
Sorry for being MIA yesterday but had no power, phone, electric for a while...and a big mess in the yard that needed cleaning up.
And I see PA got the same system we had...Hope all was good for you Sir Knight....
We ended up getting (2) EF-0 (65-85 MPH Winds) and (3) EF-1 (86-110 MPH Wind Speeds) Confirmed Tornados
Which in my mind is much better then getting a long running derecho....and most of the weather folks agreed.
Anyway...going to play catch up for a bit in here and then get back to the yardwork. Got to repair two of the bird feeders and hunt down a cushion for my swing...that was tied down but guess not good enough...
The birdfeeders are tied down also but the tree branches snapped off :thud:
Gotta grab a :java: first....Ahhhhh
And Fafnir...good talking to you this morning.....enjoy your day....
-
Well, did the primary doctor this morning, at least they listened and did not break out an obnoxious computer while I was talking. She still is trying to get me on high blood pressure meds, nothing was named specifically. However when I do the blood pressure at the house is is lower then what she reads in the office. I keep saying it is white coat syndrome and she is skeptical.
Should have brought my unit with me but forgot to do so, will bring next time, yep there will be a next time, considering that she also sicc'ed the vampire on me.
I at least did get everything out in the open that ye ole knot head doctor was "ignoring"
-
Bring yours in at least every three months so they can calibrate it. That's what I do. And as you know...I always keep an Excel Spreadsheet of my readings that can view also via my phone.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
J you should whip out YOUR 'doctorate' and y'all have a measuring contest! No? Ah well, EYore tryed...
And you ARE caring enough about your health that you ARE back at a doctor! Good on ya man.
-
Hay HIPSHOT! I cracked up when I saw your mention of the VA and their lacking a bit on sending out new strips. I know THAT drill inside and out! LOL! Oh wait, that ain't funny!
There are three ways things can go with Insulin vs eating and four if ya count Plumb Haywire. One, take meds and not eat right after; Means a guaranteed GO LOW. Done that a few times. Two, take meds then eat right after; Right ON! Three, eat a bite but forget to take the meds; WRONG! Go HIGH guaranteed! Done that a few times too. At least I survived long enough through all that to get it somewhat right! Oh and grocery shopping days is one day that is guaranteed to GO HIGH a few times. I end up eating my meal, then just grab a snack in between. Diabetics can do that IF and only IF that 'snack' is zero calorie! So my coffee and cough drops are allowed. Cheesecake is not.
Did someone get word to my Walmart I am diabetic or something? Last few times I ordered groceries I slipped a cheesecake into the mix. That they happened to be out of stock of. But, if there is a good thing to slip out of my orders, THAT is the good one!
-
J you should whip out YOUR 'doctorate' and y'all have a measuring contest! No? Ah well, EYore tryed...
Don't think that would work well, since she is female :tearlaugh:
-
TL I keep a Excel spreadsheet of my "Medical Stuff". BP, weight, glucometer, and the ostomy device changes. And my doc never wants to see either my glucometer, my spreadsheet. Nope, he wants my entire metabolic panels from labs. He often asks about some thing or other in the urology sample. I just pat my right side and he said "OH!" He is a Endocrinologist and diabetes specialist. He has helped me a LOT getting my glucose down, and managing other symptoms. Which also stopped my getting constant foot ulcers, thank ye much! So am I all healthy now? Hell NO I ain't! I will always be working on it though! :D
-
yeah but ya both gots doctorates yeah? :funny:
-
I only keep the Blood Pressure readings on a Spread Sheet..... As you said...all of the other stuff they can gather themselves LOL....
One more quick tour and then it's bye bye time folks....
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled center cut pork chops with cornbread and tater wedges

It's a rainy day here, but Nature loves that so that's perfect.
-
Good Morning indeed.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....That will get the ol mind peculating....A coool coool start to the day here....and I love it....
But it's wierd....91% humidity....but it's only 57 degrees out. And not a cloud in the sky...but I'm not complaining. Got the windows open, the AC off....and all is well in the world....
Plus I have one of Fafnirs coffees in hand....:java: Ahhhhhhhh
-
Good Morning,
Looks like we are having a cooler summer with all the rain we are getting this year. But it won't last we will be getting back to normal next week.
-
Our Summer has been all over the place....and then some. Between this weeks 5 tornados, last weeks temps in the upper 90s and no rain, and today waking up to 51 degrees....it's been a roller coaster ride....but I like change.... Better then getting constant heat....which I do NOT enjoy....
-
This place is usually hot most of the time. I bet if there wasn't air conditioning over half of the people here would leave, and it would go back to being a whistle stop town again for railroad maintenance.
-
When I first moved to Wisconsin in the early 70's our Winters were LONG and Hard and the Summer were mild and short. Now the Winters are not as long and the Heat starts earlier and earlier each year.
In 1978 my #2 fuel oil froze in the lines and I even had heattape around them. That was a pain in the butt and had to get the lines thawed by running hot water on the lines until the oil company could come and suck some of the #2 oil from the tank and put in #1 oil which is like a kerosene....
-
If I remember right 1978 was a very cold year for the mid-west where things came at a standstill out there due to the heavy snowfall. I was in Germany at the time things ice over so bad there that you couldn't stand up straight because you were constantly falling down with 2 or more inches of ice all over the place.
-
I only keep the Blood Pressure readings on a Spread Sheet..... As you said...all of the other stuff they can gather themselves LOL....
One more quick tour and then it's bye bye time folks....
True, BUT. I do like keeping track of some of my medical stuff. Specially the weight and the device changes. Devices, now that's a nice word to cover for the uncomfortable stuff to the public. eh HEM!
-
1978 was the coldest year I recall as an adult in Houston. It really did dip down to single digit temps, but the wind howling down from the Rockies swooping through the plains and right out the Gulf of Mexico with us in the way. Yep, I saw a LOT of people with busted freeze plugs, radiators popping and water pumps popping right off the engine, busting their little bolt heads off. The weather forecast did call for HARD freezing, and warned everyone about their pipes, engine anti freeze and getting their animals indoors. I did all the above, not all the neighbors did. They paid for it too. Even with my water pipe wrapped and covered, it still froze. I was out front with hair blow driers thawing that thing out till the water ran good. Me (and everyone) rand the kitchen taps about halfway open. That was our 'dripping' the water that week! And it didn't freeze again.
-
It struck me as near hilarious at the temp difference at work. I was in a steel mill, sintering plant. On the bin hopper floor when the rail cars emptied ore, coke or lime into them, we had to be out there ON the floor juking the stuck stuff in the chutes so it'd keep flowing into the bins. They are some 90 feet tall, 20 feet diameter. Juking with long half inch id air pipes with about 130 pounds of pressure. And we on shift were bundled up for the cold. Same bundling up we did for the furnace floor. Only about 800F difference. HAH! but that heat was SO hot you didn't feel it then. Later, if you were not well hydrated and eating salt tabs, you likely folded and were carried off that floor. 30 minutes in the cold, 30 mins thaw out. Then on furnace and hot top work, 15 minutes per hour for 3 hours max then HOME with full 8 hr shift pay. They wanted to work us, just not to death. :o\
-
Yup on all counts....
1978 was one rough winter. We had a few other Winters that were rough...but nothing like 1978....
-
I don't remember if it was the Winter 83 or 84 which was terrible in France. With ice around windows in few houses. But either I was still not born, or I was too young to remember :tearlaugh:
Excellent end of day guys
-
Oh I remember ice and snow when I was like 9 yrs old and younger. After about 64, we started a nice long warm trend. Then cold years again. 84-86 were years where Houston had very HARD freezing again. And as always down there, many din't think it was gonna do that much harm. They were wrong. Liquids became solids, and needed to expand and had to make room! POP! PVC pipes were the most fun! That stuff explodes suddenly in real cold.
-
Ouch! Glad I never had that problem McG. Anytime after 1969 and before 1983 I was wandering about other parts of the globe. When young, we lived in and around Syracuse NY, but that's a bit too far back to remember. New Mexico wasn't bad, living in and around Las Cruces. I got cold, but never that cold. Those other places, oh HELL Yeah!.
After I got out, I worked as a security guard in a foundery. And boy howdy, did it get hot! Luckily, I just had to wander off in order to cool down, or get warmed up again. And I could always hide in the office complex.
Been a l-o-o-n-n-n-n-g week for me. Had to run up to and back from Temple VA several times for myself as well as Connie. Finally got the render I was working on. I hope I got it in before the cuffoff time, but it is, what it is. Meantime, as the late Benny Hill once said, time to say "goonight Henly"
So, goonight Henly!!!! And to you Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

GOOD EVENING TO ALL.....
Yes, it's rare for me to be in here this late but since I was outside and doing yard work until 6PM, I didn't get "J's" phone message or text message.....
We finally connected via phone a bit ago.....
It seems that he and his appendix aren't getting along at the moment and he's in the Hospital....and I'm so glad his "Clinic and Hospital" phobia didn't kick in.
He said they are talking about transferring him to another hospital that does surgeries. I'll text him tomorrow morning to see what's up.....But at least he didn't linger around long and went in to get the pains checked out....On a Sunday.....which tells you how extreme the pain was.....
I'll keep all up to date as I hear from him....
Keep him in your thoughts and prayers my friends....
-
Thanks for keeping us informed, TL. We'll pray for him, wisdom for the doctors and a quick recovery.
-
Indeed we can hope he will be okay.
-
:peek: Wow My Brother did the Whole Appendix thing! Was not a Very good Moment for him as they had to keep him in the hospital for a while to flush out the poison in his system. :thud:
Hopefully J will get better Treatment than he got! :gws02: :dominatrix:
-
Hopefully J's hasn't and won't rupture! Then, it's a piece of cake, piece of cake! :o) Thanks for the news, TL!
-
Indeed that is always good to hear. 'Luck Bro. Hang in there and we'll see you when we see you.
-
get well soon J and i hope it is an easy recovery will keep you in my prayers
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Thanks for the munchies Fafnir!
Speaking of appendix....I think I still got mine. Not sure though, that could have been one of the things they did in 2013 and didn't tell me about. Sheesh!
-

Hopefully J will get better Treatment than he got! :gws02: :dominatrix:
I went through the same thing....thought it was just a severe stomach ache and did all the wrong things to try to make it better....Spent a while in the hospital with tubes in me.... Which is why I was glad when "J" said he didn't try any home remedies and went in on his own.... It was the high blood pressure readings that got him worried...not the pain. I told him Pain brings on high blood pressure....so he did good.
-
That is good to hear. So many folk just wait, thinking that its going to blow over.
NOT!!!!
Still got mine. Almost lost it while at Ft Knox. Just leaving hospital after minor procedure when spotted by eagle-eyed nurse. (Nurse Ratchet ... perhaps?) Silly cow attempted to drag me back inside saying that I was due for surgery. As is said appendix??????????????? It took a while to get it straightened out. I had same last name and rank as another not so innocent victim. Finally, had to show my ID card, as well as my dog tags and SSC card. Damn near had to drag out my birth certificate.
which would have been a real bitch as it was many miles away at home!!!!!! :lostme:
Needless to say, I got out of there at all speed. :woohoo:
-
Yikes.....Nothing worse than unqualified medical folks. Glad you convinced them.
-
Hrrrmmmm.... I checked, I have the extended warrenty, I wonder if Jherr let his lapse?
Check your warrenties my friends, once they expire, things fall apart.
I'm gratified he went and got checked, be a real kick in the teeth if all this time the blood pressure thing was an hot appy warning.
Toes crossed for an expediant resolution to the bettre,
Cheers
-
Well, they did surgery on him this morning and he's back in his room now.... He's saying that he might be released from the Hospital tomorrow...and with the way they do things nowadays....I believe it.
He said it was a very rough night though.....but glad all went went well during the surgery.
As for going back to work...that is a unknown factor at the moment.
-
Wishing you well and a speedy recovery Doc J.
I trust you have your faithful and caring nurse by your side keeping an eye on those younger cute nurses.
-
And now they have him sitting in a chair.....which is always a great sign.... :grenade:

Ouch! I remember few years ago my grandma was hurted on her side, and it was a pain getting worse. When finally she went to see her doc, he said to her to prepare her pack for the hospital; the appendix exploded just like the doc touched it.
Of course, she hadn't a nurse called Kianna to take care of her. Lucky J, isn't it? :winks: I hope he will full recover very soon. And no hard job with cables for a moment.
TL? I think it was Elija Wood who had a stomach pain, and only that... until he discovered it was the appendix.

:lostme: So How does J like his new Set?! :34dd: :whuaat: :sexy3: :cmereJ: :bouncy: :seeyou: :psycho: :iminnocent:

Ahhhh yes...the guy from "The Lord of the Rings" I tell you what....it's very deceptive because it's not the first, second, or third thing you think of when you have stomach pains....
-
Ahhhh yes...the guy from "The Lord of the Rings" I tell you what....it's very deceptive because it's not the first, second, or third thing you think of when you have stomach pains....
Since I learnt for him, I kept that in a corner of my mind. Just in case. My grandma is at least the second in that part of teh family to have an appendix. I cross fingers for never follow her steps on that way.
-
Believe me...it was the last thing on my mind and as mentioned....I did EVERYTHING wrong for it :thud:
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Have a great night Aelin.....I'll be following shortly.....
-
glad to hear it was a successful operation and yes they kick you out as soon as they can but on the plus side J will be home so Kianna can take care of him
-
:peek: Reminder do not let your pets sleep on your tummy till it fully heals! :thud:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and home made chilli with all the trimmings
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the coffee. Need it today. Praying for J's recovery.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Just a quick check in since I have some appointments today and so does Lorna.....
It's still up in the air if "J" is getting discharged today or not. He still hasn't passed gas nor had any bowel movements....but then again...I don't think they've had him walking yet. And as most know who have had surgery....you don't go home till you've passed the gas or proved the poop.....
Plus they are still draining fluids. I think the appendix may have burst just before surgery which is common if one waits to long to get it checked. They drained 90cc after surgery and 50cc last night.
And he just now wrote that they will get him up walking in a bit today....though he IS complaining about "Showing Off Your Ass in these hopital gowns" and "having to drag along the drain unit between my legs"....
Anyway...that's what I have for now..... And as we all know....when "J" is griping about something....that means he's feeling better.....
-
Thanks for the coffee Fafnir :java: Ahhhhhhhh
-
Good afternoon guys!
As longer as he feels better, that's great. But hoping for him not playing the scene from The Right Stuff movie, with hospital gown and all coming with :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Thanks for keeping us informed, TL. I hope he does get to go home tomorrow.
Have a good evening, Aelin.
-
Update.....he's going to be in the hospital for 3-5 more days. But that can change also. As mentioned...the appendix did "Rupture" "Burst" or as "J" said his Doctor put it as "part of the Appendix was destroyed. In either case...they are still draining....but he does sound better. Last time I talked to him a Nurse came in so I'm thinking it may have been "Walking Time"
I was worried about calling him because when you think your going on a simple thing as getting yourself checked out...you don't take your charger...and I was right....but luckily, his neighbor brought him his charger, and he's taking care of the cat...
That's all I have for now.
My appointment today was a LONG one....as was Lornas....so I'm worn out....See you in the morn.
-
We appreciate anything you can tell us. Obviously need to keep praying. Have a good rest!
-
Good to hear that all is going as well as can be expected. And yes, they do make you walk . . . . and walk. Friend got a hysterectomy and had her walking soon after. But holding a pillow to her tummy. As for self, the sadistic swine made me walk just hours after getting knees replaced. So, it I can handle that, J's in good hands. Especially if Kianna is anywhere in the area.
-
Glad J is doing good walking will help get him home sooner will keep him in my prayers
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and nacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning,
Today's menu sounds great.
Gone a few days playing at the VA. Didn't want to stay there to long too many people there that are not very well with what ever is going around. Well if I see that J is in the hospital. All I can say is Get Well Soon, we need more work entertainment to read.
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
Good morning to all......
Haven't talked to "J" yet on the phone but he did message me. He proudly messed up the bathroom and is back on clear liquids...did a 776 step walk or as he put it.... .36 mile walk :thud:
He had a cute nurse last night....So Kianna must have been off duty....
His pain is down and not to much draining is going on....
I'll give him a call later on....
In the meantime....I've got some winners to announce from last months contest and I need to take a tour of our humble home...
You take care M-C.....and yup...that Delta Variant is out and about.
I mentioned Kianna to him also HS.....and I think that made him sicker :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
And yes....all prayers are most certainly welcome for "J".....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....I finished off my first pot an hour ago :thud:
-
well TL there is plenty more coffee for you
-
Good....I didn't want to have caffeine withdrawals :java: Ahhhhhh
Thanks Fafnir....
-
Good afternoon guys!
Glad to have news of J, but unfortunately for him that he has to stay more longer in hospital. He messed a lot for they keep him. Or was an order of Kianna to keep him prisonner for her own needs? :tearlaugh:
-
I'd say the second choice but I don't want to make him sicker then he already is LOLOLOL
-
Well, thank you all for the kind words and wishes it is appreciated. The neighbor brought over my laptop and it is much easier to type on this then the phone and besides that the phone isn't signed in to the site and I have one of them goofy 20 character passwords. :thud:
Nevertheless it looks like I survived something that could have been a really scary event. Ye ole appendix was perforated, had a hole in it and the tail end was necrotic (dead tissue) so yes all sorts of nasty was going on inside me without me being fully aware of it.
If medical crap builds slowly I do not see all the dots to connect them together as it is to subtle. Basically that is what happen here, granted there is no definitive as to what happened and how it got like this but it happened and as Luffie said, my stomach was painful, and did not go away (and since I have no over the counter meds in my place anyway) and the blood presure was above normal and not going down, it was time to man up and say "help"
Maybe later in the thread I use for everything else I will share additional details but not here that way you lot do not get to terribly bored.
Anyway I made progress last night, considering one set of meds was to force the issue of a bowl movement. Including the one where you do ... yep that one. The disturbing part was had to do it twice. :puah: Anyway it was not long after the second drink and set of pills and the other thing that all hell broke loose.
Sounded like there was a wind ensemble playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" in there for a bit ... oddest thing one could ever hope to not hear, and I do not want to experience again.
The good news is that depending on how the night goes and what the morning brings I might get the drain removed and fixed up and sent on my merry way, by later afternoon early evening ... MAYBE ... a lot rides on how my body is going to react to solid food tomorrow. Today I got up to the liquid diet and what a storm that caused after the fact. :tearlaugh:
-
Brother, we are all just glad to see that you are still 'angin' about. Missed you Buddy. I tried to leaver a hint to Kianna to take real special care of you. Almost promised her something that I shouldn't, but its still on the table. We shall see.
-
Good to see you got your laptop..... As you can see....I kept everyone up to date.....My way :java: LOL
Was going to call you but got involved with trying to clean out my old brothers printer for someone who needs a printer but can't afford one. Got the ink ports flowing again so now I just need to give it a bath....and me a shower. This ink is TOUGH to get off your hands :thud:
-
I heard at job you have to avoid warm water with that ink. More risks it goes in your system otherwise.
J, glad to see you back. The activities of Kianna on your body aren't too hard to support? :winks: Take care of you and go slowly to be 100% back to yourself. Too quick isn't always a good thing.
Hips, not sure to want to see what you promised :hypno:
Excellent end of day guys, see you tomorrow in my evening.
-
Yep...and warm water and soap does not get the ink off either so I use Goop (https://goophandcleaner.com/) first and then shower to get the Goop smell off me LOLOL...
-
Have a great night Aelin....see you sometime tomorrow. Gotta play Taxi for Lorna. She has errands to run....and I'm cheaper then a Taxi... I think I better raise my rates... :java: :ifonly:
-
Welcome back J. Now you catch on the new season of anime.
-
Aelin, I don't even what to see what I promised!!!!! :thud: And trying VERY hard to forget.
-
You are SOL on that one... Lol. Ok finally getting active again with the renders.
-
@Hipshot thou art making me nervous now since the evil nurses here are making me put things in places that are in theory supposed to be exit only and have an evil grin on their faces when they tell me "hey we are just going to leave it in a cup in the bathroom for you."
Thought about making them do it and then said oh hell, no they would enjoy that to much. Quite certain I would not, so what ever you promised Kianna is definitely not sounding pleasant, just how you could corrupt such a sweet and innocent lady like her though ... :sigh:
@Nobosha I am looking forward to the new seasons, but right now after being in the hospital for four going on five days I will settle for any anime, these abomination of televisions they have in here have no access to channels with anything decent on them at all.....
-
soon you will be home J take comfort in that and no evil nurses that bring things for you that only go in exit places hang tough you'll make it
-
mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be meatloaf with mashed taters and gravy
-
Good Morning,
Sound like J is stuck in the Twilight Zone with Rod Serling MD just outside the door giving a narrative of what is happening in a in a room in a hospital that is stuck in a time loop. It only seem like days went by when J is discharged, but he cannot recognize the world we live in, since it is 60 years into the future. The Next Stop the Twilight Zone!
Glad to hear you are making progress.
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
Oh yes J when it comes to Nurses be thankful your nurse is not Nurse Ratchet from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".
-
From the sounds of it....."J" will be released sometime today....He's trying to get ahold of his ride who happens to have his house keys also....So let's wish him luck.....
-
Good afternoon guys!
Today was another of those Fall days in the middle of Summer :tearlaugh:
Now waiting to see if J will be back to his cel... room here or just keep prisonner in the hospital
-
His ride is on the way so all is good.....He is officially SPRUNG....... :grenade:
-
Really glad to hear it!
-
Indeed.....he got out of there before they started feeding him REAL HOSPITAL FOOD....he just got the tidbits :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
*Groans loudly* Great, now I'll have to surrender my poor bod to the nurse's gentle ministrations. On the other hand, could still be fun!!!!
Glad to hear that you are almost back home J.
Let's see now, grape jelly, a little something to keep the snaketacles busy . . . . wet noodles . . . A couple of 24volt batteries . . . . .
-
Glad to learn that J will be back home :grenade:
See you somewhere tomorrow guys!
-
See you sometime tomorrow Aelin....take care......
-
Glad to here your on the way home J. All you need is your favorite chair a DVD Carousel player loaded with anime and Dr. Who. and a cooler full of Jell-O and clear liquids (no Sake please).
TL I never found hospital food to be terrible, more like just bland and inedible. Except the Jell-O cups, always liked the Jell-O cups. That may be cause the hospital has nothing to do with preparation.
Hipshot you lucky dude you, sounds like your in for a night in on and with the wild. :woohoo:
-
:yippee: I am at last back in my home. With my private DVD collection of Dr. Who and anime finally can watch something on the TV that is worth it.
In a place that is properly climate controlled instead of being two degrees above absolute zero, I swear why are hospitals always so frelling cold.
Indeed the jello cups were the only good food. Their version of chicken broth is too salty and nasty, their version of oatmeal is a criminal offense and I don't know about the :java: but to ask if I wanted decaf or regular told me all I needed to know about their :java: expertise.
Yep, read the details on the meds and over half can't be used if you drink alcohol. The other half is antibiotics that are useless if you drink alcohol when taking them. Damn it all, the real kick in the pants is before I went to the hospital I had just bought a fresh bottle. :thud:
@hipshot I expect to see the video when :kianna: is finished collecting. It sounds like you are going to have ever so much fun.
-
Video . . . ??????? :shiv3: Who said . . . . anything about . . . a . . . video??? :thud:
Oh well. In for a decicred, in for a credit. Let's see now . . . Here's a nice "little" costume . . . if you could call it that . . . that should *chuckles maniacally* fit the lady in question. Snaketacle potion, furry hand cuffs . . . :heeheehee:
for her, not me. Bwah ha ha ha!!!!!!!! :ifonly:
Nice little dungeon level . . . . well sound proofed . . . . lit by torchlight . . . that should put a quietus on any filming. At least I hope so.
:perverted:
-
Video . . . ??????? :shiv3: Who said . . . . anything about . . . a . . . video??? :thud:
She did, she told me all about it
-
Thanks to all for the best wishes and a speedy recovery tendered, it is greatly appreciated by me
-
Damn! Busted again. I have GOT to learn to keep big mouth shut.
-
And . . . it is good to have you back Buddy. Just pay no attention to me. Still planning a little something for Kianna. :ifonly: :ifonly:
-
Good Morning to all.....
Just a quick check in since I have some appointments today and so does Lorna.....
It's still up in the air if "J" is getting discharged today or not. He still hasn't passed gas nor had any bowel movements....but then again...I don't think they've had him walking yet. And as most know who have had surgery....you don't go home till you've passed the gas or proved the poop.....
Plus they are still draining fluids. I think the appendix may have burst just before surgery which is common if one waits to long to get it checked. They drained 90cc after surgery and 50cc last night.
And he just now wrote that they will get him up walking in a bit today....though he IS complaining about "Showing Off Your Ass in these hopital gowns" and "having to drag along the drain unit between my legs"....
Anyway...that's what I have for now..... And as we all know....when "J" is griping about something....that means he's feeling better.....
OK, so they did get his appendix out! Yaaay! Yeah they told me they will have an army of aides and assistants come get me up and make sure I walk around right after my big op. Same day. Th doc wasn't joking either. They DID come and walk me down the hall. I had a roll around IV tree which I named George. Plus, because of that man hating doc yanking my vas right outta my (nevermind) I ended up with a pair of bulls (nevermind) hanging around. Made walking a bit odd for a few days. But I wanted to get on home, and did my best to either fart or BM. The bad thing IS they had emptied and 'turned off' my gut to part it and take a section up to use elsewhere. And they went to restart it with nothing? Aw get real! After two weeks the doc finally relented and got me some pinto beans, some cornbread, some mustard greens, a can of V8 Juice and she refused to have the kitchen send up Buttermilk. I said softly, that's ok I know where to get some. By your leave Ma'am? She nodded but looked sickly. I shrugged. When she left I got me ready and ambled down to the cafeteria. Said I needed two cartons of their buttermilk, and a big hunk of good ol cornbread. Took that back to my room, the nurse came in to supervise my supper, and I had some BUTTERMILK and CORNBREAD!!! Dammit! Next day, I was farting right along, and everyone heard it. Next day I was back home :D They turned off the gut, I put the 'culture' back in to jump start it! PLENTY of culture with buttermilk and cornbread. Would have been more with some of them beans n greens! ;DAll that ensued after my radical cystectomy and other odds and ends. Most of the folks on that floor were getting colostomies. I kept all the guts, lost the bladder. Anyways, that was in 2013. Gimme a "Cancer Survivor' ribbon!
-
Glad you're back home, J.

Har! Glad you're spirits is up man! Back when it was my turn, after I got what I needed to get the gut churning again, I was going down the hall sounding like a fog horn. Heh! Ohhh doncha just wonder! SO how're the nurses up there? All mine were married. Darn!
-
Glad you're back home, J.
Thanks dude
-
Welcome home J! Sounds like you're doing way better now. :woohoo:
-
Har! Glad you're spirits is up man! Back when it was my turn, after I got what I needed to get the gut churning again, I was going down the hall sounding like a fog horn. Heh! Ohhh doncha just wonder! SO how're the nurses up there? All mine were married. Darn!
The good looking ones were either married or had boyfriends ... got absolutely no where with a single one of them.
I swear it is always the same where ever I go :tearlaugh:
-
Welcome home J! Sounds like you're doing way better now. :woohoo:
Bit on the wimpy side still, taking a shower and the trash out for tomorrow made me sit the hell down breathing heavy for a few, then again when I was walking the halls at the hospital I got the same way and that was just .3 of a mile and I am out for the count
I can see where this as the surgeon stated is going to be at least six weeks before I can consider normal activity
-
glad to hear you are home safe J now do take it easy and do get well you can do without the sake for six weeks so your meds will do their job of healing get well soon
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this mornin and for later on there will be pork chops on the grill with all the trimmings
-
glad to hear you are home safe J now do take it easy and do get well you can do without the sake for six weeks so your meds will do their job of healing get well soon
This is day six and to be perfectly honest I do not even feel like drinking anything of that nature currently.
And I haven't
-
well J
recovery can be a hard process so i wish you the best and a quick recovery
-
Good move on not sipping the sauce for a bit "J"..... Gives the body time to readjust to normal life....well....as normal as defined by "J" :tearlaugh:
-
Good afternoon guys!
I see almost everything is back to "normal" in our beloved home, except maybe Hips after his journey in K's dungeons.
So J, 6 weeks without pulling all those cables at job? That's a good counterpart in your bad appendix experience.
-
Hey Aelin. It wasn't THAT bad . . . . for the most part. Still sore in a couple of places, but that'll pass. Can't say the same for the Attic Nurse. 'Still walkin' a bit fun . . . . OOOPS! :puah: Wasn't supposed to say that. Luckily, my snaketacle potion protected me from all those damn bites.
-

Indeed a gentlemen is never to speak of such things . Oh BTW are you certain you were using the right potion? Based on the chemical analysis it seems to be little more then colored water. Just asking ......
-
Dunno 'bout that. All I know it that it at least seemed to work. However, it DID taste a bit like weak tea!
-
I found that ALL my nurses/aides/assistants (not called Candy Stripers no more!) were, simply put, UNavailable. For whatever reason. But once accepted, it became much easier to get COFFEE! And even conversation. And information about my condition(s)! :thud:
-
Either that, or I just got a thing about getting snaketacle bit!!!!!! :ifonly:
-
:pweez: no details at all :panic:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
pssst . . . Aelin! :shh2: I know nothing . . . . NOTHING!!!
-
But, I do ... Kianna told me everything ... who would have thought you were such a naughty boy
-
And after I asked her . . . more like begged . . . to keep it quiet. Oh well, I've still got that tor . . . er, I mean dungeon room under my office.
-
You mean HER 'exam' room! LOL! And here I recall you defending Her Honor ye did, HA!
-
(pssst J . . . did I do that when I first got here?!)
-
Good morning guys!
Today is a cloudy-sunny-windy day. Almost all choices of weather :ifonly:
-
Morning Aelin....cloudy but not pouring here. Thank you for the comments. Need to get the notifies fixed. And she actually is an old character converted over to 8.1. Now just need to rig up some riding poses. You cant see it but she does have a saddle lol.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning to all......
I need a triple cup of :java: Fafnir..... Decided to use the office computer this morning and of course had updates galore needing to be done....was tempted to head back to the bedroom computer but said what they heck....Might as well get the updates and be late coming in here.
Ummmmm.....In answer to your question Mc-G......YES......and we'll leave it at that....
HS....You do love to live dangerously....and I thank you for that.....Keeps the "K" busy and nowhere near me :tearlaugh:
And now to get our weekly TOTW winner up......
Good Morning Aelin and "J".....Noshoba and MG......Fafnir and whoever else is roaming about....with :java: in hand
-
So true TL. But what is life without a little danger to spice it up?
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops king crab legs and fried shrimp [bacon wrapped as well] with hushpuppies tater wedges and all the trimmings

Good morning guys

Morning all.. Merrily rendering along..shrimp and grits the breakfast.
-
Good morning, Fafnir, Aelin and Noshoba. Happy Sunday!
-
Good morning my friends, and wishing one and all a good day. Especially for J. Nice to have him back here in the Attic. Going to be working on Poser for the bulk of the day as been ignoring it for the last few. Busy writing/editing. First though, a :java: or :java: :java: from Fafnir's unending pot and then to work. Or rather play.
-
Had me a bit of a scare this morning so I erred on the side of caution and went back to the ED. Back home once more, seems to have been mostly hiccups in a manner of speaking. They did all of the standard test found out I still have a heart and all other major organs are in good shape. Thought we had some infection going on since I had elevated blood pressure again but according to a second CT scan, oh by the way that rubbish they made me drink prior to the scan is the absolute .... insert your favorite expletive's times 10^17256 .... anyway all fine there no infection, all body parts in the right place and apparently working just fine.
Tis most annoying to say the least, if there is cause and effect I can deal with that, this morning was just a vague sensation and high blood pressure
Amusing part read 130 pages in a different book while sitting there
-
So J, you're a speed reader huh?
TL - you recall that commercial expression "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" tone? Well, EWWWW (and that tone!) (GAH!)

You have a heart ... umm, I meant to say glad to hear all is good and working. One should always err on the side of caution after surgery.
Don't tell the head nurse about the heart, she may think your rubbing it in and try to remove it.
-
So J, you're a speed reader huh?
Back vile demon how dare you insult me in such a base and lowly manner :rat-atat: ... that is my natural reading speed and I read every word thank you most kindly.
Speed reader .... :rat-atat:
-
Hrrrmmm..... maybe Grampy's keyboard has a sticking "Y" key.
Speedy reader.... as opposed to a talk it out reader...
8 )
Cheers
-
Speed of reading depends always if you are "in" the topic of the book and love so much that you "eat" the book or not. And none of us read at the same speed in general.
I can do that sometimes with Lord Of The Rings or Silmarillon. Did that with one Agatha Christie when I was a teenager.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Average for me a roughly 400 wpm or a page a minute approx. however if it is a tech piece then slower.
I have been known to read a 350+ book in 6 to 7 hours if left undisturbed
-
Wasn't the keyboard, t'was the fat fingers missing the keys of the keyboard! Of course I meant speedY reader! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I can read a 250 pg paperback in a single sitting too. Depending on level of immersion of course. :) Some authors are better writers in being able to carry us away on a great adventure. Piers Anthony is one author who is able to put such color into the read as to create movies in my mind. I don't even notice the turning of the pages, and the text vanishes when the movie starts!

Piers Anthony is one author who is able to put such color into the read as to create movies in my mind. I don't even notice the turning of the pages, and the text vanishes when the movie starts!
I do enjoy my Piers Anthony; The Xanth series and the Incarnation of Immortality were/are both great reads.

Good Morning to all....including you Speedy.....
Had a fun day yesterday doing some rearranging of furniture. Kept changing my mind so never got much done LOLOL
Anyway....here to see what is going on and then back to my chores.... Tis a stormy day...though the sun is trying to come out....which is a bad thing when storms are out and about.... Just makes them stronger...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir......
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Hello there....Girl..... :ifonly:
How's your day going? Just had sunshine for 25 minutes and thought the storms were done....and now have pouring rain.....and thunder in the distance LOL
-
We are supposed to live in the half south of France, which was supposed to be full of sun from the dawn to the sunset. Grey and rain were for the north, only north. As you have guess, we had clouds and only clouds for a large part of the day; even rain at midday. And around 4PM we finally saw the sun.
Forecast weathers are still as bad as usually :tearlaugh:
-
Same here.....it's hard to believe we have so many ways to get the weather and none of them match :tearlaugh:
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
See you sometime tomorrow Aelin......ENJOY
-
Yeah. The way the weather weenies go, its always promises, promises. Even when they get it right, they can still be wrong. They've been promising rain here for the last couple of weeks, and what do we get . . . maybe an hour or so of rain. And that's spread over several days. :whattodo:
-
Yup..... We needed the rain so I didn't mind that...but the least they could do is get the days right and never mind trying to tell us at what HOUR the storm/rain/winds will start LOLOL.....
-
Say "J".....Since your off for a bit why don't you pack up and go on a Road Trip.....Got just the thing for you to go see....it's only a 12 or 13 hour drive...if traffic is light....

Good Evening,
With California burning down, the air here is not that good. We had a day with the smoke where the whole valley was unhealthy or hazardous on Saturday, moderate on Sunday, felt like sleeping those days and I did most of these two days. Today wasn't that bad, but you can see that the air quality is not as it should be looking at the mountains. I see it that the smoke made it all the way out to Wisconsin too from these fires out west. I think by now with all these fire that Spotted Owl is no longer with us. (use mandate for Spotted Owl to not clean up the forest and underbrush in California) Maybe California will clean up their forests and thin the trees and cut new fire breaks so that we have safer forests for man and beast out there.
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
hope some of the spotted owls survive and yes they need to clean up the forest and underbrush might be safer for them people too
-
:lostme: The Same California that sued for 35 years to keep the forest service from doing the fire prevention?
-
Here is a website that explains the habitat of the Spotted Owl and why California don't want to clean up the forest.
https://www.fws.gov/sacramento/es_species/Accounts/Birds/ca_spotted_owl/ (https://www.fws.gov/sacramento/es_species/Accounts/Birds/ca_spotted_owl/)
HABITAT
"California spotted owls generally inhabit older forests that contain structural characteristics necessary for nesting, roosting, and foraging. Nests are typically found in areas of high canopy cover, with a multi-layered canopy, old decadent trees, a high number of large trees, and coarse downed woody debris. Within an owl territory, spatial heterogeneity to some degree is important for foraging habitat. About ¾ of known California spotted owl locations are on public lands (e.g., National Forests), with the remaining on private timberlands."
-
The 'corse downed woody debris' is great for lightening strikes or careless people to start fires and with old trees that are either dying or dead that are not thinned out is a recipe for a big fire.
-
I think they could compromise to solve this problem by using fire breaks to cutoff remote areas where people seldom go and dividing the forest between where people visit ; live and the remote areas. Then keeping people out of remote area during time when fire hazards are high.
-

and practice good forest management to reduce the wildfires that they are having
the cattle ranchers here in Florida used to do control burns and it kept the scrub and underbrush under control and there were fewer wildfires now the forest service is against doing control burns

morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roast turkey with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning,
Morning Menu and Lunch sound great today.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Some super stormy storms headed our way I guess....at least that's the forecast for the moment.....
Anyway....a quick stop in here and then gotta take Lorna to PT and get something done for Milos.
We get the smoke from the west coast fires here in Wisconsin....
I'll have some :java: for my :java: Fafnir..... Thanks.....
Question....how many of the schools in your area have trouble getting School Bus Drivers...? It's terrible here in Wisconsin. They are giving sign up bonuses, year round work, better benefits including medical plus a lot more....and they still have problems getting them.
-
Good afternoon. For the moment I don't take the reading of what you said since yesterday. My box updated just when I wanted to enter my IDs here. And seems on the point to do another update (said by the blue light on).
If I disappear the rest of the evening you know why
-
Evening... Trying to detox and chill temper abit...
-
Wow, I am just trying to wake up Noshoba! LOL! :grenade: I like this dancing Knight. He's the only one RRKinght3 did that's toting grenades! Arrrrr! :D

Well ..the.temper is from being exposed to Covid for the second damn time due to the stupidity of my fellow employees that feel it is all fake. Although I am vaccinated it doesnt mean I cant be a carrier. The fact that they get sick and test positive , they still think they dont have it and refuse to wear masks and lie to the customers. Know for a fact I am the only vaccinated employee in this area.[size=78%] And my job oddly enough does put me around children under 12 more than you think. [/size]
-
Well Nosh i hope everything is going to be ok and i hope those folks you have to work with will get smarter about the Covid and will do as they should will keep you in my prayers
-
Honest...it would improve the gene pool. The big insurance companies are already drawing back on covering unvaccinated covid cases. Yes it is a persons choice.. but there is no free ride or bailout on the consequences of those choices.
I have made some bad choices in my life and still paying for them. But I accept..the key word here...responsibility for those choices.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning,
Another Smokey day out here. Looking at next week's weather forecast it just might rain again. Today a few clouds and the high is expected at 103 degrees F.
-
Good afternoon guys!
Tonight is peaceful with the internet box.
-
That is a total bummer, Noshoba. I really hope you (and all around those moroons too!) are not affected/INFECTED with anything at all. Y'all don't deserve that, not at all.
-
Thank you Sir Knight! Now we all know exactly where that grenade came from AND how to use it! :woohoo: :grenade: :thud: (THREE is the number!)
-
Thanks McG now comes the fun part. Our "beloved" governor is signing a bill to prevent you from seeking damages due to their stupidity today. They know he is sick and still letting him work.
-
That's bad. Sorry to hear that man. Just makes me hunker down even tighter.
Now for a little bit of FUN stuff for today, the Eleventh Day in August in the year of {Zeager & Evans (sort of)} . . . Twenty Twenty One! In 1974, while stationed on good ol number 73, I cut up a perfectly good, faded, patch pocket flare legged Dungaree pants to closely resemble what CathyY used in her image "FAR OUT" on the lady sitting on the bench. I used brilliant orange with white flowers cloth on both legs. Plus sewed on 17 patches and badges from who knows where. Obviously, this was strictly civilian attire. My division Chief and Operations Officer quietly stated that once OFF the ship those pants will STAY off the ship, while I was on the gangway. Seriously. DANG man ! LOL! And they liked the long sleeved denim shirt my girlfriend had embroidered for me! I suppose those pants were a bit much, even with the Tony Lamas square toed knee high harness boots too. The United States Coast Guard did not wish for its service members to put on the appearance of a young "Hippie", which is not that far removed from its source, The Beatnik! :thud: :thumb_up: :cool: :OMFG: :yes: :shock: :explode: :yippee:

:lostme: The World According to Maynard G. Krebs - 07 I'm Like Lost... Doomed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BrAg0ouxXk
:peek:
-
Ahh yes! The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis! I really liked that show. I especially liked Krebs because he too hated the "Lawrence Welk" kind of music. I wanted bongo drums too. But my parents horrified expressions when they watched just one minute of one episode of Dobie Gillis told me, then 5, it ain't happening in this lifetime. Ha! Yes, Maynard was TV's first Beatnik! :D
-
Oh nooo! We have lost yet another lovely actress. RIP Markie Post.
-
Say it ain't so McG!!!!!
-
I don't wish to appear rude, who?
-
Starred as "Attractive intelligent blonde" in Love Boat, Night Court, and a number of made for tv movies. I think she did a gig with Loni Anderson.
-
On the other hand, go ahead and say it McG. Yep. Definitely eye candy. Got a good mind as well but, you know the industry. They like 'em with small minds and big . . . . ambitions.
-
Good afternoon guys
-
Hi, Aelin. Things are pretty quiet in here. I like the new Nemesis picture at the head of the page.
-
Saw that few nights ago. In fact, I didn't expect a change, like we had a contest for the last time.
I don't know if I'll be back tomorrow or not, because we had today a risk for thunder storms. Same tomorrow, and all the weekend... just for the weekend they have choosen here for the "July 14th firework" :tearlaugh: (in July, it was too rainy)
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Afternoon. Glad I took the rest of day off when I found out needed to be tested..took forever at the doctors lol.
Hip, dont you hate retired REMFs that loved to flaunt who they were?
One commercial job I was trying to do today..one rolled up on me...demanding I leave...asked me the wrong the question..I dont care if he was Sgt Jackson... just surprised they havent found him floating in the river yet since he is a know pedophile .
-
Markie Post, who did the whole Night Court thing, did her best and cutest on The Fall Guy (the bounty hunter, remember?) and also some episodes on Buck Rogers In The Twenty Fifth Century! She had been fighting cancer for years, and didn't share that bad stuff. One of the rarest of people, a truly good person. And for years, all they could find for her to wear was bathing suits! She was at home, and passed peacefully at age 70. Sleep well Markie. We'll all be along soon.
-
Obviously I do not watch enough or any for that matter commercial TV no wonder I was clueless as to whom she was, makes sense now.

Yeah Nosh. I have run into such assholes before. I love the ones who were tankers and attempt to tell me all about what they can do with a tank. An M1. . . a newbie. Didn't have to the heart to tell him that I had been on . . . and off the M60 series before he was more than just a gleam in his daddy's eye. Not to mention a few armored vehicles in service he had negative knowledge of. It's bad when you're at a display of army vehicles and one breaks down and has to be recovered. An M60A1. I think it had some problem with the diesel filters and couldn't keep it running. Anyway, this youngun tries to tell the even more younguns - those that are still wearing the issued cammies - how top recover said disabled vehicle via dragon wagon. Like I said, newbies. Only trained, not recovered a dead vehicle real world. Between them, they almost let the tank run backwards off the road. (no one in the driver's seat) Not to mention coming all to close to renovating a barn full of horses. :thud:
:lostme:
Not wanting to see anyone get injured or killed, I stepped in. Told that stupid sombitch to shut the hell up and stand aside. (Helps to have run more than one PT class for my platoon while in service). Finally got the dragon properly lined up and the cables run. Crossed, not straight so you can steer it on board. Then, once you got it on the trailer. you straighten out the cables and pull it on in. Get the brakes locked, and properly chocked down and you can be on your way.
You could almost hear the jaws bouncing off the ground as the lads secured the loading ramps.
Looked around for the big mouthed one with so little knowledge, but he had left the area. :whattodo:
-
Ah yes, Rad. Barry Sadler. Hell of a soldier. Not to mention writer. I still have most of his Casca: the Eternal Mercenary series in storage. Hope to get into it to see what I can find when the weather cools down a bit more. Brought the entire shebang up from Ruidoso a few months back. Had to spend the bulk of the time up there hiding in my hotel room as the altitude and I - COPD, curse the luck - just did not get along.
-
Thanks for the memories, Rad man! I was just a kid WHEN (I hope I don't come off hated by anyone!) (cause I sure din't know squat!) John Wayne was in the film "The Green Beret, and Sgt. B. Saddler actually recorded that song he wrote, The Green Beret. The album meant more to me than my family ever knew. What I got from that musics lyrics is why I enlisted later, in 72. Though Pops service in the Charlie Golf IS why I chose that branch. But don't y'all tell HIM that, ok? His urn might swell up and pop open! ;) SO. I dunno which guy did their thing first or what, but I totally bit into both. I ran around the house for a year singing (to everyones horror) my lungs out, several of the songs from that album.
Never got inside a tank, though I sure wanted to. This towns Military Museum now has an F4 Phantom II, an F-5 Thunderchief (THUD!), a newly restored M60 TANK, a UH-1a Iroquois (HUEY!), what's left of a Charlie Golf's Super Sea Stallion, a 95% flight ready B-25 Mitchell, a self propelled GUN of damnably BIG barrel size, a FORD Jeep, a Studebaker JEEP and even a JEEP Jeep. Plus a few other motorized units. OH and a genuine replica Little Boy. That is just the yards around the museum building itself. Pretty crowded yards! With all that, they might even let me peek inside the motorized units and Mitchell. Heh! :D
-
Hey HipShot....kinda tough gettin inside a Tank when you're surrounded by a few hundred feet of Ship! ;o) :thud:
-
Yeah Radkres! Thanks for that smile this morning :D That Garret Trooper is sompin ain't he!? [ . . . and a little bitty one, it's called a Combination-flare-gun-dinner-settin-genuine-police-whistle!]I loved that song man! LOL!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon doe this morning and for later on there will be prime rib on the grill with all the trimmings
-

-
Part one of my follow appointments for me today so taking the entire day off ... silly office staff as in junior lady can do some work.
-
good for you J glad things going good for you
-
Good Morning,
Another smokey day and cloudy too. Looks like Florida is having a Tropical Storm today.
-
TC Freddy, on Fri 13th....
"Nightmare on Elm Street on Fryday the Thirteenth." Heard that at the local picking up nummies for the pup. Looking forward to as AC decided to go on permanent vacation.
-
A Coffee Shop Bistro, love it. Are those Puffs with Lotion? And someone is getting a mite ticked off it seems. Heck yeah she is! :grenade: :woohoo: :thud: Gee, I think I know that sign says "Coffee". Let's see here . . . Nope! Though I do love the text font Nemesis used on that signage!Mine was different. And, the image is WAY older ;)
-
Yes, McG, I can just imagine. The nearest I came to a ship (Warship) that is, was a sighting of the USS Texas at her dock, and that submarine at the Fredericksburg's museum. Other than that, I think my vehicles spent more time at sea than I have!
Coupla pics from Fberg and the 3rd Cav museum here at Hood. Spent many a day, week, month in one of those steel monsters.
-
Weekend nights we had 'movie nights' and they set up the projector and got the reels out and there we went. We loved the repeats of flicks like Jeremiah Johnson, Vanishing Point, and every Pink Panther movie made. We also had Boxcar Bertha one trip, Fiddler on the Roof on another. We had to check the films out at the Navy Amphib Base Little Creek. That library served hundreds of ships!
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Good afternoon, Aelin. I guess there wasn't a bad storm. Or has it already passed by?
McG, Vanishing Point has always been one of my favorites.
-
Finally it passed somewhere else. Maybe as jocking as where I lived before :shrug:
Today was just day with many clouds and sometimes sun.
-
we shall see what this tropical storm is going to do mostly bring rain i think
-
So far nothing out of the ordinary for weather ye ole rain cloud doesn't seem to have much puff in it at the moment. Not scheduled to get any where close to central Fl.
Tampa on the other hand looks like will be getting a wash job, possibly Sunday AM
Did the doctor appointment this morning and at last she is on board with the white coat hypertension and the accuracy of my blood pressure cuff. It certainly did help that I also had the print out of the recorded readings in Excel format that helped. She even agreed that it was possible that I had issues with the appendix for some little time and that is why I have been out of sorts for so long. The good news is that I started to loose weight, very little mind you, down four pounds but it is a start.
-
Sometimes, just having less stress in the life helps a lot. I have lost several kilos since the move, and yet I didn't change my way of life, not what I eat. But you never know when you'll really have less stress.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Good afternoon, Aelin. I guess there wasn't a bad storm. Or has it already passed by?
McG, Vanishing Point has always been one of my favorites.
Same here. At first for the treasure trove of freebies, but then I started buying some of his models too. Still do, and love using em! They do some excellent vehicles & aircraft as well as all the buildings and even Star Wars stuff.
-
A kilogram is roughly 2 pounds right? I could stand to leave some 25 to 30 kilos somewhere else! ;)
-
2.2lb
-
Thanks J.!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with melted butter and all the trimmings with tater wedges
-
Good morning guys!
All started with fog on the hills here, but now we have a lot of sun.
-
cloudy no rain yet
-
Good Morning to all....will be back shortly...gotta finish my updates....
I need a Pitcher of coffee today Fafnir.... :java:
-
I couldn't wait for the office computer to finish updating so I'm on the Secondary Computer in the bedroom. This one is UP TO DATE LOL....
Sorry to hear about your mess Mary..... Seems like everyone is having some sort of severe or crappy weather of late.
We had a week of it..... A total of 10 confirmed tornadoes, hail, wind gusts up to 70 MPH....but...very little rain. During the three days of heavy storms we only got .75" of rain.... :thud:
Below is a shot of our close call.....missed my place by inches......
-
Wow! That was close. Glad you're OK, TL.
McG, :(ROFLMAO: You had mentioned movie night and one of the movies you'd listed was Vanishing Point. So, I was talking about:
https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/5-things-vanishing-point-challenger/
rather than
https://www.vanishingpoint.biz/
I do like them both, though. :cool: :toast:
-
You were a lucky one TL, for sure. No fairy decided to take a fly I hope?
-
Good Morning,
Glad to hear everyone is OK with these weather events that are happening now. California is still burning with wild fires. The smoke has lifted here, so far a clear day today.
-
You were a lucky one TL, for sure. No fairy decided to take a fly I hope?
Nope....she's safe (standing in back of the Gnome and Toadstool) though a few of my little flags got tortured...but the flags are back in place....
-
glad the tree missed you TL now we don't have to send K over to help out and make sure you are ok
-
LOL..... If there was even a chance of her coming this way....I would have stood UNDER the tree :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Yup...we were lucky this time.
In 3 days time we had a total of 10 Tornados touch down.... Some folks weren't as lucky as we were.....
-
glad the tree missed you TL now we don't have to send K over to help out and make sure you are ok
Kianna is still going to visit just make certain he is in good health :kianna: :heeheehee:
-
good for her he needs checking on now and then
-
Excuse me but I'm not trusting my eyes today. Did Fafnir just compliment Kianna by saying she was good?
-
Thy eyes did not deceive thee
:thumb_up:
-
Good Morning,
Glad to hear everyone is OK with these weather events that are happening now. California is still burning with wild fires. The smoke has lifted here, so far a clear day today.
And Greece (specially Eubée island), and Malta, and the Kabylie (in Algeria)
I hope Milos doesn't have those problems in his country.
Nope....she's safe (standing in back of the Gnome and Toadstool) though a few of my little flags got tortured...but the flags are back in place....
Glad to hear that
-
Well, how about that, storm clouds, dark skies and thunder in the distance :tearlaugh:
-
Oops, seems like not only do we have the skies and noise but it has been raining the entire time .... light but determined .... still rain nonetheless.
-
Excellent end of day guys.
We have firework now, and it's time to be with Mini forecast
-
"J"....You better send Kianna over to Fafnirs place...something is not right there LOLOLOL
I'm fine here.
A beautiful cool, sunny day with no clouds in the sky....
No A/C on.....plenty of fresh air flowing and NO STORMS in the forecast....for today anyway LOL.
Just got done posting our winners in FB and posting on some of our friends pages. Some great art today...I commented on many.
Now gotta hit Pinterest....and I might see if I can get our Twitter page working right again....Hate the Twit...
Have a great night Aelin....
Any change with "FRED" "J" and Fafnir?
And now to see if I missed anything in here before I continue on with my posting journey
-
Currently only 35 mph winds and still of the Keys at the moment. In theory it might get up to 50 mph winds now that it is back over open water and should be dropping rain tomorrow down South as it makes it way up the coast. Currently I am just getting normal afternoon showers nothing to write home about to say the least.
And what pray tell dost thou think is wrong with Fafnir :ummm: he seems to be in fine fettle to me
-
LOL..... Then I guess you're stuck with the Storm and "K" all at the same time :tearlaugh: Personally...I'd much rather face a Storm then "K" :java:
-
:o_go_on: You are kidding
-
Ah now we have something that resembles real :rainy: action, tis about time.
-
Wow! That was close. Glad you're OK, TL.
McG, :(ROFLMAO: You had mentioned movie night and one of the movies you'd listed was Vanishing Point. So, I was talking about:

I do like them both, though. :cool: :toast:
Movie Night on the ship was The Vanishing Point movie!
Anything since 1990 or so, that is The BIZ man! ;o)
-
Oh man! TL I am glad that freight train of wind missed you. Even it it was by inches, it still missed you!
-
Ain't nothing wrong with Fafnir and we ain't got no rain yet but the night ain't over yet and if K does come by on her way over to Luffie's place she would be welcome for a visit
-
:thumb_up: See Luffie not a thing wrong with Fafnir ... told you so :tearlaugh:
-
GAH! Nope Fafnir is NOT 'ok', I felt his :thud: all the way up in Texas !!!
-
A rather typical winter day here though no rain for now. Just grey and cold, so what better to do than work on this, flames need some work :lostme:
-
No better therapy when it is grey and cold.
I am back down to just grey and wet ground, rain is bye bye for now
-
looking good Dreamer
-
Good one Dreamer! I forget about the southern hemisphere being in the heart of winter now. Glad you got something warm going on! You gonna join us in Ye Ole COFFEE Shop? ;)
-
Hey TL, Jherrith and any other concerned body . . . y'all did get the part where I actually created that scene like ten years ago, yeah?
To do it over again, I'd have to do a *TON* of little renders!
Oh wow, something changed in here. I am typing ON black bg with white text now! :crazysmile:
-
Thank you so sweetly DA!
-
looking good Dreamer
Thanks

Good one Dreamer! I forget about the southern hemisphere being in the heart of winter now. Glad you got something warm going on! You gonna join us in Ye Ole COFFEE Shop? ;)
Thanks. Yep winter, cold wet and did I mention wet and cold?
Heh I am always here, hadn't you noticed that dark shadowy corner everyone avoids?
-
Oh, so THAT's what's lurking over there!!!!
-
Oh, so THAT's what's lurking over there!!!!
-
restocks Dreamer's corner with fresh coffee pot and bottle of good rum and a plate of sliced ham
-
Ooh! Hey Fafnir, got any toast to go with them victuals?! :woohoo:
-
Dreamer, you know of course that I didn't mean anything by that. Right?
-
Dreamer, you know of course that I didn't mean anything by that. Right?
Yep :) just don't go poking at odd shadows, they may poke back lol
-
Good Morning,
Looking forward to another interesting day. Hopefully it will be more interesting than a room full of zombies. As you know the average zombie are terrible at conversations, and have a lack of manners. Not to mention their lack of coordination and motor skills too.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready Dreamer's corner has been resupplied with all the essentials. The girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be Tacos with all the trimmings

Good morning guys!

And in addition, Fafnir already made a warm breakfast just for Dreamer, with her fav potion :winks:
-
Morning..did shrimp and grits after beating off the churchladies at the Laundrymat. But no matter.. After days of meh..Daz finally put some interesting things up lol. The drums would especially be good for an amusing render..

Yes Ma'am! I was thinking about that scene while fiddling with my exterior scene. I should change the text on the sign, shouldn't I? Heh! But like I said, The Coffee Shop is the whole floor!

Good morning Noshoba! Happy Sunday :o) Yeah and Good Morning to all my Attic neighbors in fact! :woohoo:
Me gots Dominoes in da house! :D

Rectangular blocks with colored pips on them ???? :ummm:

Dreamer. Learned a long time ago not to mess with strange shadows. The more familiar ones are more than enough, thank you very much. Especially when you're trying to sleep.
While in Germany, got hold of an OLD house in Nuremburg, not far from the reclaimed Nazi hospital. Had a loverly feather bed. Nice and deep and soft. Got to try it once and that was it for me. Everytime I did, I dreamed I was in an old, read that as ancient, graveyard. Some nameless shadow was in pursuit. Chased me into an old tower and on up to the very top. Finally turned to face it and .... woke up in a sweat!!!!!! It would always vanish when I turned to face it, and I would wake up. Needless to say, didn't stay there all that long.
-
We've lost mausel:
https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/obituary-notice/3019921/ (https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/obituary-notice/3019921/)
Just finished a book cover with his hearse. :sad:
-
He is what? The fourth this year to pass away. Sad for him.
-
I guess it's a sign of the maturity of our community. Too many, however many it is.
-
Indeed there do seem to be a few in the mature age group. Would be nice if the scourge named cancer was not so prevalent.
Ah now for something different, we are getting the pretty cloud colors once more. Light grey, dark grey, even deep blue grey, might have some interesting weather later
-
Let us hope your weather is not as interesting as Haiti's. 7.2 quake on Saturday and tropical storm grace by this coming Wednesday.
-
Before, each time a earthquake from that magnitude was done somewhere, specially in Haiti, the news were immediately talking about that.
But since 2017, and the beginning of our "leader" time, real news are over. I just learnt about Haiti earthquake a moment ago, and only because internet.
Excellent end of day guys. And J, take care with your weather.
-
It turned boring and is no longer of much interest :sigh:
-
ah J but Lady Kianna will comfort you and alleviate your boredom
-
So you are saying her visit to you was productive. Was going to do some work on Poser and was making progress on a Vampirella pin up and then Stormbringer decided to lock up and of course I had not saved the current point I was rendering from, talk about being three kinds of unhappy, I swear one of these days I will remember to save my work, oh wait that's right this version has an auto save feature, most surprised that I do not have it enabled.
Anyway back to the drawing board.
Oh BTW ye ole chance of rain is non-existent now :sigh:
Completely grey skies but that is about it for the time being.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ ribs with all the trimmings
-
Good Morning,
Wow, BBQ ribs sounds great! I haven't had those in a long while. Now for some coffee.
Looks like we could have showers out here around 5 pm my time.
-
Good afternoon guys!
We had the rain this morning, then sun in the afternoon. And since the end of afternoon, back to clouds.
-
BBQ ribs sounds way better than my leftover pizza! C'mon with it! :D
Oh we got thunderstorms all over us here right now. I bet we lose power a couple times while they're here.
Hi J! Vampirella huh!? I will see you one and raise ya another! See ya in Anything Goes :D
-
To J : Ta daaaa! They're there, where'z yorn?
About the Vampirella costume. It is the one by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen for V4. The morphs I dialed in did all the shifting and wrinkling of the costume. Will see what I can do about this in P12 and fresh loads of both V4 and the outfit!
-
Ok, thunderbooming and RAIN now. Real honest RAIN! Sure need it.
-
Can someone pass the dutch courage please? This scaredy cat has to go to the dentist :shiv3:

I'll take a quick drop of the golden nectar. Maybe a coffee too. Got to wait for Ed to get here. Grocery shopping day. I've been by every morning, but I just pass through without my Coffee and Creek. A little rough around here right now and you poor folk hear enough of the fantastical craptastic building from Hell. Power is being cut off at 8am local to effect more repairs. Going to be a joy dragging groceries up the stairwell.
-
hands PDG a steaming mug with coffee and a double shot of golden nectar in it

Good afternoon guys!

See you tomorrow in my evening guys!

Goodnight Aelin! And good MORNING to the whole Attic full of denizens (was gonna say inmates BUT...yaknow?!)
-
Indeed, potatoe ... potato

Indeed, potatoe ... potato
Nah, spuds

Taters! :woohoo: :grenade: :thud:
-
Mornin' all. Fafnir's tater wedges with hot sauce for dippin'. Little other use for ground apples. (Ask Aelin) We grew 'em when I was a kid to break up the rock into smaller pieces to try and grow turnips (rutabagas to those south of the border) the following year. If you were lucky you could grow radish by year three. I hated radishes. The rock never broke up enough to get real soil. Lots of rock, lots of salt spray, lots of cold, no trees or ground cover to speak of. Rain, fog, and snow. And people used to question why I moved to the Big Smoke.
Coffee and Creek please. It's time to check my email.
-
Hands PDG a big mug of caffeine with plenty Creek in it
-
Seeing all that, I must have had it pretty good. No flooding here as yet. Hasn't really rained that much
*keeps fingers n toes crossed. A little painful, but worth it!*
Supposed to rain and is threatening again today, but we shall see. Meanwhile, going out later to pick up Sony VR headset. Hope it'll be worth it. Saw one nice VR game, but is still in development. Something called "Ocean Descent" I believe.
Think I'll mosey on over to Fafnir's for some of that good lifer juice and a bit o' brekkie.
:java: :thumb_up: :java: can never have too much of such a good thing!!
-
Good Morning,
Another day at the Attic. Wind blew out some the smoke that came in yesterday. Can actually see some of the mountains on the far side of the valley. I only like to eat rutabagas raw, don't like it cooked, the same for greens and spinach too. The day's menu sounds great as usual.
-
Good afternoon guys!
-
Greetings, all. I hope you all are having a good day!
-
Hope for you too!
I went to the old books bookstore this afternoon (took my afternoon off from job) on the road for the food shop. You know, like I no longer go to the normal book store.
Last week I made the same and found many Tintin but because of the shop I had to do, was only able to take half of those available. The owner said the Tintin comics are quickly sold when she has them.
Today, I had few hope only to find those I left, but they were always there, except one :grenade: So in 1 week, I passed from 2 to 17 in my collection - only 5 to find to complete it. And books are in very good shape and less than half their prices when new.
There are jewels in that old books bookstore. Another time, I found for the daughter of a friend some "Martine" books.
-
I love old books, too. Going into an old book store always weighs heavily on my wallet. :woohoo:
I'm glad they were still there! You're close to having a full set. Goodness!
-
Yep. Forgot I found also 2 Asterix since I started to visit that shop. Those comics have also many success. There were more than what I bought each time, but those were the 2 only on sale that I didn't have yet. Collection will be harder to finish I guess :tearlaugh:
There is still the "brocante" at the beginning of each month too. Alas, they have less entries it seems. Many books are there since December, and I have them or am not interested by. And I saw so many Nancy Drew there (called in France "Alice détective", don't know why :shrug: ) for children.
Excellent end of day guys! Tomorrow afternoon is my second half day off, don't know if I'll be on internet or not.
-

Be well Aelin.. Got the pic beat if I can find it lol...

That does look like me most days. Except that in my case, would probly take a cattle prod!
-
No this morning was more like this....
-
Hello,
Would have dropped by earlier, but fell back asleep and slept most of the day and all of last night. Once the wind stop blowing the smoke came back in force and the air is very unhealthy here. Hope the fires around here are out soon. And now for a cup of coffee to wake up with.
-
Yeah.... zzzzzzz. Need more coffee....zzzzz. Damn fire trucks again.....zzzzzz. Take sleep meds and can't think clearly after this foolishness. H

19th floor again. Second time in as many weeks. No deaths this time.
Last one earned me a home invasion. You may remember the drug dealer across the hall that set the place on fire about this time last summer. Well the fire on 19 last week got my balcony spread all over the suppertime news stories. Clients of the loser across the hall saw 7ft pot plants on my balcony (legal) and kicked in the busted door and frame that have yet to be replaced.
The ironwood staff beside my desk took care of that. There is also a rather large and sharp homemade machete a friend from Colombia left here last visit. A large and very hairy man so armed is rather terrifying to a junkie with a metal ruler and a screwdriver.

As it is written we are old for a reason, don't mess with us
-
The staff is to hold me up (3 rods in my back) but the fool in my hallway didn;t know that.
-
OK; I gotta get it together. Too crispy around the edges. Need a plan of action for the day. There are some inhale able caffeine tubes in the bathroom someone gave me earlier in the summer while I was setting up their sound stage. Don't know if I trust such things. Could be why they are still in the bathroom. Got a few mushrooms growing in the cooler. Maybe time for tea.
Damn it!!!! EMS and the Cops. Might have been worse on 19 that I thought. Damn I hate the building alarms. It's time to put on the kettle for sure now.
-
I was hoping your previous comment was from a previous (recent) event. So it's ongoing?
-
Yeppers. EMS is taking one out now. Cops have two in the back of cars. Another jolly morning (sarcasm)

So sad to hear that.....I haven't been on the net for a bit....missed a lot as usual. Thanks for putting this up Sir Knight....Went over to extend my condolences....

Oh joy, such entertainment one could have done without, no doubt.
-
Hey TL, Jherrith and any other concerned body . . . y'all did get the part where I actually created that scene like ten years ago, yeah?
To do it over again, I'd have to do a *TON* of little renders!
Oh wow, something changed in here. I am typing ON black bg with white text now! :crazysmile:
Ummmmm......Perhaps...... :java:
And of late...there is ALWAYS something changing in here....the place has a mind of it's own it seems....:thud:
-
Good Morning to all.....
First off....glad everything went well Fafnir...good talking to you yesterday.
And Thanks for the coffee.
It's been a very busy week but the neighborhood is now officially CLEANED UP. Never saw so many pickups in one area all at once.....And they were like a conveyor belt .... completely in sync. Drive in, pick up a load, drive off, dump the load in the cities designated area...and get in the end of the line to start all over.
And believe me....I feel all of the years this body has on it LOLOL....hurts to pick up a cup of coffee....but I manage :java: Ahhhhh....
Glad to see it chatty in here....
And now to see what I missed....
-
And Aelin. Update on the Strays that come to visit. As you know I have Blacky, Big Blacky, Grey, Stripes, and McGruff that visit every morning....
Well, Stripes had kittens....I now have a tiny black one with grey paws, A pure black one, and Grey one with black paws hiding in my garden. Will have to see how this goes. :thud:

Hey I know about that one Noshoba! Just got back from my 2nd trip to Walmart pickup zone; of the month. They had everything I wanted 'cept for the moist cat food treats. So, mine got meat today. They did not complain at all. Heh!
-
Sorry to hear about that that commotion, PDG. Glad you're alright!

Good afternoon guys!

Isn't possible to catch them to find them families when the time will come?
Concerning the Mamma, if she stays in the street, maybe a shelter can help to catch her and to stop she has babies, then she can be back to her usual life of now?
If I was there, well I have the habit to take the baby animals by 3 :iminnocent:
-
Anyone in here ever watch a Movie called DELETE? It's pretty cool. It's a two part movie found in Movie Central on You Tube....Go to the "Full Sci-Fi Movies" section.

I got ahold of the Humane Society right off but they are short staffed and have a house full of cats. Seems some think cats can give them Covid so they booted the cats out.
And they do have a program called "Fix and Release" for feral cats....But being short staffed they are in limbo.
I've got a feeling that's what's going to happen....I'll have a Zoo.... They are under my shed where it's cool for the moment.
I'll let you know what happens.....

Take care, because I'm afraid if there are too much cats the owners from the mobile home park don't like that, alas.
Concerning the idioty of people with "dangers" of pets, nothing has changed. And when it's not for illness, it's for holidays. Or because the animal has a physical default. When it's not "because of the baby coming", or from a move.
Still plenty bad excuses to don't take their responsabilities.
-
Yes indeed on all points. I have friends who would take a couple of the kitties....and I have a insulated house on order for the rest of them....Amazon was out of stock for the past couple of months but finally got the one I want in.... Thankfully the strays like each other....a little too much it seems :thud:
But I'm sure we'll keep one of the kitties. There is a little black one that Lorna has her eye on...

How old are they?
I hope Oz will be a great brother and will accept a tiny. At least a kitten can be more easy for a cat to accept.
I remember Juliette wasn't happy to see a baby dog coming at home. Then the addition of a baby cat few months later. But for my Tania, she was in the same time a big sister and a Mom. Juliette had a good mind even to accept a rat! And finally a very old miss dog.
For TheSchell, the board is done :ifonly:
-
Well, Little Blacky and Stripes have both made their way into my place....and were greeted by Oz....no fights....and they both turned around and went back out....and that was just this morning.
I've had Little Blacky step in here a couple of times and sniff around and then leave on his own....This is the first time that Stripes came in with Little Blacky...I was wary...but they didn't do any hissing or hooting at all when they saw Oz so all went well LOLOL
The kittens can see and play around....though the little black one looks awful frail. It stays under the shed....no way to get ahold of them unless they come out on their own. I'll keep an eye on them...just got done watering the plants so they have plenty of cool ground. Our ground is like hard clay...the dampness will cool it off.
-
So Oz is maybe a good paw. I'm thinking too like the cat from a colleague. She has her own cat, then welcomed not so long ago the cat of her mother. And now she even has the cat of one of her sons, because he is in holidays (then he will take his cat back). Her own cat don't care "intruders", as long as they don't try to come on HIS Mummy during the night :tearlaugh:
I'm very glad to see that Oz didn't play the "bad guy". Some times babies hiss, some times they don't. But if they didn't do it it's they are confident in Oz. A good point. And a better point with Little Blacky :yes:
-
Yes indeed..... Phil even brought Ollie here once (his dog) and they got along fine...though my place needed straightening out after Phil and Ollie left LOLOL
-
With dogs, gardens don't always survive :tearlaugh:
It's good if cats don't care about sweet dogs. I know I have one here, Puce, who doesn't like them at all. The poor Harry, in his last months of life, had to suffer paw in the face (yet without claws) each time he passed before her when his dinner was to be served... which means after each turn around the room, something like each 30 seconds :tearlaugh: A chance he was a good boy, raised by a cat and in love with another.
I know nothing of the first time Puce was abandonned. But for the second time, the English couple who took her to the shelter put her back because "she was slashing". Probably to their dear dog :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Have a great night Aelin.....See you in the morn.....
-
Excellent! Oz did not feel defensive. He is VERY secure and comfortable in HIS home-den-territory. Good on you TL! You been the best of pet parents!
-
TL, Aelin, I think both of you are right. Yeah! Congrats TL, you're a parent. Again!

Question about a past DAZ user. He went by NeelzOnline, and was a tremendous artist. This guy lived outside the box, artistically. He was always like "What IF?!" and coming up with new things to try. He routinely mixed Vue and Poser for his art. I think he was a school teacher. I don't recall where. He did some amazing projects under the heading "Massively Populated". And back then, 10 years ago, you just about had to use both Poser and Vue to get these done. Does anyone remember this guy? It hasn't been that long, but the internet seems to have lost him. One he did was being sold through (something) Bubble. I bought a 30" x 20" poster print of his "Low Tide". And he was surprised how many copies just flew off the shelf! So he started another one, this time as a living tutorial for doing them. It was called Rush Hour. He incorporated many of us in that work. I was a gas station name. Ha! I'd really like to see what he's doing now days!

Yaknow Rad, if I waited till I woke up to post, I might be clear enough to think of some things on my own. But it wouldn't be near as much FUN! LOL!
Thanks for the links. That is definitely the artist, and the art! Now if I can just find my own copy, so I can hang it up in here! :D
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir. How are you feeling today....did you REFILL the void LOLOLOL......
And good morning to all....Finally....some rain without a attitude. Gentle, steady, and being absorbed instead of running off.....great way to spend a Saturday...Indoors enjoying mother nature... :java: ahhhh
And now to get started with whatever I have to get started with....which I assume is something....
-
Good Morning,
Well it is starting to cool down out here the temperature is presently 79 degrees F. Predicted high will be 96 degrees today.
Now if we can get the smoke out of this valley it would be a prefect day.
-
Morning..lets see either freebie skins or do go back to rebuilding my ones for Chris's Wildcat today..
-
Wait what which?! Wildcat? F4F Carrier fighter??
-
No Chris's veritech fighter. I had built several squadron variations on Chris's Wildcat...including JMSDF.. Mostly for USS America squadrons . Fun was misplaced my working files for them etc.. Searching through 4 separate external HDs I finally found them lol.
-
VGF-14, good choice. most current looking variable fighter. Personally I like the Warthog, twin seat good for long distance recon.
[Nerd alert Nerd alert]

Cheers
-
Have that one as well and a few made up for it as well lol...Havent had the time to make up addons for the Wildcat's dual cockpit variant.
-
Doesnt the dual use the same template? well for the external skin at least? Or maybe the Wildhog mat?. hhhhrrrrrmmmmmmmm..... have to look into that..
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Have a great night Aelin......
I'm heading over to our Social places to get the winners up and then feed the cat crew. The kittens are still nursing it seems but they are all relaxed in my yard. None run away when I go out to do the chores....
-
How cute tonight we got the ugly rain clouds and threatening sky again ... however how about this actually getting :rainy: this time instead of being teased.
Spoke to soon twas only a 20 minute visit :sigh:
-
McG...wtf...when did they take the name away from the Taney? Now the emails and such I get say Cutter 37.
-
egad. Come back after a couple of days AWOL and everything goes nuts. Assaults, break-ins and even kitten collecting. Oh well, could be worse.
-
Yes, Wizzard, I do believe that the dual cockpit does use the same template. Very nice mod. If you want a got recce bird, suggest you get the pack for that. It is sweet.

You know, yesterday morning we had caravans starting to stop on the parking from a shop, like in July 14th. Finally they went away, so I thought they were only tourists.
But this morning, what was near the job area? Yeah, the caravans. Again the "gens du voyage", and believe me, not the best part. They launched in bushes bottles and other amusing things, that was seen by several colleagues and by people of the local swimmingpool (which is near our building job). And apparently during the midday, one of the little boys decided it was so great to be nake on the street :shrug:
Finally they left somewhere this afternoon. I learnt later they were in town since Saturday.
Yesterday, during home cleaning, with opened windows, I heard the neighbor with cats, at the floor on the ground, had a missing cat. They are always back for the nigh, but that one didn't come back in the night of Saturday to Sunday. I cross fingers, because there are people in the community in question above that aren't friends of cats (or dogs) and they end in the plates.... And indeed, I didn't see the black cat from all yesterday, when he has regular habits. And this morning, when going at the job, I crossed the way of the grey one, and he fled when he saw me at the top of the outside stairs; first time he does that.
-
That does not sound good. I like cats, just not for dinner. Guests perhaps, but not for dinner. Had that problem in El Paso. Had a bunch of Koreans in the neighborhood. They, unfortunately, kept the cat population in control. And not in a good way.
-
I know in France, if you go in a kebab shop, you are almost sure to eat dog, mostly labradors :thud: More risks than going in a Chinese restaurant.
But French people aren't best. Years ago, at beginning of 2000's, horse meat was used in industrial cooked plates in place of beef. And even donkey meat in place of pig for dry sausage - and at that time I wasn't vegan, so I can't swear I never ate donkey :thud: One more reason for why I stopped meat.
-
And here I thought I had it bad in Korea. Don't know how many times I went to get a bite to eat while on maneuvers or out in the ville and I got something that I just wasn't sure of. Those "burgers" were good, though they did taste a little funny. Could have sworn I hear one growling at me as I bit into it. And here I thought the guys were kidding about the fabled "Mystery Meat!"
I guess not! :thud:
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Was about to get in here yesterday after doing some posting on FB but got sidetracked by a project I've been putting off.....and now I know why LOL....The big shed holds twice as much junk as the small one does for some reason.... So I decided to separate the good junk from the bad junk.... I know.... Makes no sense....but I felt better afterwards LOL.
Had to visit the Vampires at the clinic this morning and got a feeling my Oncologist will be saying I have a all day visit based on the test results I saw today.... Oh well....I'm use to it. I just make sure my phone and tablet are fully charged....and I'll get a free lunch in the process LOL.....
Wow Aelin....they sound like a fun group of people.....NOT.....
Got more storms coming today...Had a great one this morning....MUCH NEEDED rain.
My Brother in RI said they just got wind gusts and some rain but nothing serious from the Tropical Storm. The same with my friends in Newport...they said the waves came over the barrier walls....but they had no flooding on the street where my mother lived.
Anyway...as mentioned...Wednesday I will be MIA and then some....but I'll be here tomorrow.....
Now to take a tour with :java: in hand
-
Nope, Asian people aren't the only ones with weird meat. But them, you know. While here (and I think I remember now it wasn't just in France, but in Europe for horse meat in place of beef) it's just to make more money.
TL maybe your good junk will reintagrate your house at that rate :tearlaugh: How are baby cats today?
Excellent end of day guys
-
The kitties are doing fine. Had to get them all undercover with their Mommy due to the storms coming...
Got one brave one that loves to climb the steps to my place....Now I have to peek to see if the kitty is behind the door so I don't push him off the steps LOL....
Have a great night Aelin....I should be in here early tomorrow morn...

anybody hear much about the flooding in Tennessee ? was pretty bad

McG...wtf...when did they take the name away from the Taney? Now the emails and such I get say Cutter 37.
Though I didn't see any explanation how this 'movement' got going, I did find out earlier this year there was some commotion about the Secretary of the Treasury Roger B. Taney being a supporter of slavery. This didn't sit well with certain concerned people. So longer story short, his name was removed from the ship. The US Coast Guard never supported slavery. So now you know why the old gal, call sign November Romeo Delta Tango, is known simply as USCG WHEC 37. Which, if you spell the two acronyms out are quite a mouthful anyway. BTW, while I was aboard her, the top of the balloon shelter is painted black with the call sign, 4 letters (NRDT), painted in red on that. Though I see no sign of that today on Google Earth Pro. The world, always a changing! Sigh.

I see absolutely no weird figure in that scene, indeed :iminnocent:

Afternoon Aelin..

Excellent end of day guys!

Evening all. Just got back from taking Connie on a short ride. Had to gas up. And . . . . . she wanted to get out of the house before she committed an act of murder. My daughter has hooked up with some troll on FB. Gave the name of a 4 star general as his ID. Send picture wearing one of those weird "pork pie" hats that the Afghans wear. Aliene called it a "funny hat" and he took immediate exception to it.
A bit suspicious what? :lostme:
She apologized and they are now talking once again. After a fashion. He has since asked her for a "seem" card????? Said he needed it for his computer. In order to "update the firmware". This bozo is "currently" in Kabul . . . and is supposedly a high ranking American officer for the US Training Command. To quote a character from FireFly . . . "How weird is that!?!"
-

Good Afternoon to all.....
Howdy Aelin....just got in here a bit ago....
I was just telling Mc-G in the pet section that the kittens are getting use to my going in and out. They sleep right in front of the door and I have to step over then to get out.....and nope....THEY WON'T MOVE lolol....
Today was the first day I saw them eating wet cat food and dry cat food. Typically they were being nursed on my bottom step by Momma (Stripes)....anyway....they are doing fine so far.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....
And now to start the first round of voting for our Schooldaze Contest....with :java: in hand
-
So they are almost ready to be adopted.
That remind me. The missing black cat here showed himself finally this morning. Not his usual way, nor his usual hour. But it's good to see him back.
-
I know what you mean....I always worry if I don't see blacky at 7:00 AM sitting on my Trash Barrel and staring in the window as if to say...."IS IT TIME TO EAT YET" LOLOL
-
Invit him more often to enter to eat... and sleep :winks:
Excellent end of day guys!
-
Be well Aelin..
-
I give it 3 weeks and we will catch up to Mississippi.
-
Catch up how Noshoba? :lostme:
-
Invit him more often to enter to eat... and sleep :winks:
Excellent end of day guys!
Gotta get Oz more receptive....We shall see how it goes. Oz first...all others second...
-
First report of covid cases amoung kids and teachers/school workers wasnt pretty.. Considering majority of schools only opened up on Monday. Also like last I suspect our governor will order an information black out like last time..so might be only time we see them.
-
Ahhhhh......Got it.....We have Citizens vs Schoolboard wars going on up here.....
-
and are going on here too parents teachers X school board and government
-
Hmmmmm the girls just told me they see more cats in TL's future
-
Well more like teachers vs gov and school board. Chucktown voted no masks in schools
-
well our Gov did that too
-
I think I didnt say it right. Point was here the school boards caved without a fuss to state mandates. Wonder how they will feel when they have stay out of work again watching their kids through quarantines.
Lets add to it. The person that put me in the position I needed to get a covid test...which btw I got a bill for 80.00 dollars on Monday.... Is bragging about how he caused his kids private school to delay opening a week because he caught it.
-
not a good thing him braggin' about catchin' covid and delaying the opening much less causing you to have to pay a bill cause of him
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with grilled steaks and tater wedges
-
Morning...I will respond later..dont want to ruin anyones breakfast..to answer your other response.

Good morning guys

Not a good thing at all. Sounds like a troll to me. He's talking about a
SIM Card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_card) I believe.... But I'm sure you knew that....and were wondering how that would help on a computer..."To Update Firmware" It doesn't....
-
Good Morning Aelin....
The Furry Group is doing fine this morning. All have eaten and now they are sleeping....
I need at least two pots of coffee today Fafnir :java:
Good Morning to all....

Greetings, Fafnir. I hope you and yours are doing well. Back to the office this week. Strange after 18 months or so.
-
Well, sounds like we might need to send over the maids to dust and vacuum the place for thee.
-
Good afternoon guys!

Good Afternoon to all.....
Well Aelin.....You won.....Kittens are in....the adults wanted no part of being in...but I tried....
We had some wicked rains last night and they made my mind up for both Lorna and I.
Oz is a little miffed....but he'll get over it. He's getting plenty of loving and we are not pushing him to hard to make friends yet.
All the toys you see and the house are Oz's so looks like I'll have to get him a new playhouse and wheelaball....
-
I learned with Oz to keep the motorized footrests at 1/4 open.... Easier to hunt them down LOLOL

I think the kittens are the real winners.
Concerning adults, maybe if you hadn't Oz they would try. But it's his territory, and they can respect that. More, no one knows what was their lives in houses if they knew that before to be in your street; maybe something they fear to live again, even if you take care of them when they are outside.
But for the Mama, she is probably aware her babies are fine with you.
Concerning Oz's behavior. It's normal. Juliette wasn't happy to have newbies at the beginning. But it was just a way to show that, eyes and face when seeing the dog; then when Tania came (specially Juliette was upset because I took a cousin of Tania for a friend of the family, so few hours after, Juliette was relieved with one in less :tearlaugh: ). She never attacked Tania, who was a kitten. We were confident, but looking them both as much as possible.
Of course, Oz can be shocked because you have 3 in once for now, then he will accept a companion. Now to see if Oz is a dominant, or just wanting to show he is afraid to lose love of Mama and Daddy.
And take care the babies don't believe your "dolls" behind them are toys too :winks: But they are adorable.
-

Apparently, a house is funniest than the outside for them.
-
LOL....Oz will be fine. We've had to babysit a cat or two since living here and the first day or so were his pouting time....then after that...they both raised hell LOLOL....
LOL....they've already been walking behind those figurines on the bottom shelf but I've taken the tall one out of there and put it in another area of the house. The rest they cant wreck to badly....and the Betty Boops are all encased...
-
I saw the window for the Betty Boops :tearlaugh:
Hoping Oz will be a great brother after that time :yes: And that he'll show to babies how to play even better with toys.
Excellent end of day guys!
-
I'm sure Oz will come around sooner or later LOL.....

Thanks McG....they are fun. And they are using the litter box already which is a plus. And yes...aggravating Oz is also part of their game plan...though he will have not of it yet. He doesn't bother them...just ignores them and goes into one of his many cubbyholes.
But he'll come around. If he can get along with puppies he can get along with kitties LOL
-
Ignore is better than being a bad big brother. And at least he can look at them without giving the feeling he is looking for.
-
I got lucky with Tattoo. He took it seriously that HE was being adopted by Blackie (Mogwai's Momma) to be her baby's Big Brother. There was never any squabbling between any of them. Then when Mogwai was weaned, she wanted to go back outside, and that was the end of that! Mogwai still had Tattoo training him. Tattoo is one very special cat, IMO. And he's my friend. So what if he uses me for a tree now and then. I heal! Then we just konk out together on the sofa. Sleep through great movies together! Yeah! :thud:
-
Um, it IS getting bothersome with Tattoo weighing in at 16.5 pounds now. Not his normal 11 to 12 pounds. But happily he wants to climb his personal 'tree' only rarely now. Whew!
-

Oz is no lightweight either LOLOL.....
Well....got my FB posting done....and now to Pinterest....

It seems we have few meetings in the Coffee Shop those times.
Here, since yesterday we are back to a late Fall weather. Yesterday just grey sky and chilly temperatures. Today, the fog was present in the morning.
I don't know if we'll have or not an Indian Summer, but for sure it was a heart of Summer without heat wave :grenade: First time we haven't that in several years.

Thanks, we are on a bit of high ground so should be fine, just fun when you get major flooding in the middle of a plague lockdown lol. Oh yeah we have been in lockdown again for the past two weeks after 5 months of no Covid in the community and looks like we will have at least another two weeks before they think about letting us out again

Another day with Fall weather, even if this afternoon the sun starts to show himself. But some stupid neighbors have launched a petition to ask already to put back the heater. And that for few chilly days! Apparently they don't know the pullovers, or the blankets. Cats and the hamsters aren't as horrified than those people :shrug: If it was so cold inside, the former mini forecast would already been in hibernation, but he stays active like usual.
And I bet it was the same people who left the outside door of the building opened all the previous days, even when it was early in the mornings :shrug:
If they pay fully our heat bill, they can have all the heater they desire of course :iminnocent:

Anyway, as your have seen on the calendar, we are in September, and it's time for the new contest :ifonly:
-
Good Morning to all....
A beautiful day here today. Woke up to 59 degrees and it's already 63 degrees. Better than Sunday when it was 93 degrees out. Got the lawn done on Monday when the temps were in the 80's but with low Humidity...makes a difference.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....
And Sir Knight....I'm a Meatloaf Fan....I wasn't when I was growing up because my mother burnt peas so you can imagine what the meatloaf was like. Even the mice and rats wouldn't eat it LOLOL....I started cooking my own meals early...and then my 4 brothers begged me to make their dinners also. I did....for a fee..."Let me see...what chores was I supposed to do today...????" LOL
Anyway...let me make a tour to see what is what...and who is where and why....with :java: in hand....
-
Good morning, TL.
I'd forgotten the singer but Dreamer and McG didn't! The food meatloaf can be really awful or really good as with most food.
-
"Paradise by the dashboard lights". my personal fav Meatloaf song. though the rest of the "Bat out of Hell" albumn was pretty good.
As for the meal staple..... Love it but not all versions. Can't have vinagar soo....
Cheers
-
LMAO....Sir Knight....I gotta read everything more then once it seems.....
I'm a HUGE Meatloaf Fan...Love the music....
But yes...you're also right on Meatloaf cooked right is good....and cooked bad is best used a boat anchors....
And I believe Wizard and I have a couple Meatloaf vids put up in the Music Room...

Does anyone have news from Louisiana? I saw and heard complaints about the rests (lot of rain) of the hurrican above NYC, but not a word in the news about the damages in Louisiana. If it's like that in NYC, I can't image for the other people before in the way. But I assume, like for other stuff this year in the world, the Louisiana inhabitants aren't enough valuable at the eyes of the so-called medias.
-
they had a bunch of damage and power is out in a lot of the area will take a while to get power back and homes rebuilt don't think the death toll was high
yea the media is all concerned with NYC and surrounding area
-
See, while I was looking for Louisiana (still nothing except a cow in a tree), I discovered in Spain they had a big storm and flood in Catalogna, just at the border with France! News? Nope. The heat wave that Milos had? Nope, we didn't heard about. Fires from Eubea island? Just a tiny word, then nothing more.
It's better to talk about always the same thing :lost: and our unglorious leader.
Fafnir, I'm afraid Louisiana has more than the 7 deaths from NYC. There are people who fled the State and ended deep in Oklahoma; that's the only more news I had from the beginning of my own evening, and from a friend living in Oklahoma. Those people from Louisiana talked about total devastation. But this time Louisiana can't except help :shrug:
Excellent end of day guys
-
Some of my family is Louisiana. Waiting to hear. Locally we have lots of water. US 1 "highway" is the first. Road to our second building is the second.
:rainy:
-
Sir Knight hopefully you ain't underwater and you hear from your folks there in Louisiana will keep you in my prayers
-
:rainy: At last we are getting some this evening .. well I can hear it inside my house over the video I am watching .... calling that a win
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Some of my family is Louisiana. Waiting to hear. Locally we have lots of water. US 1 "highway" is the first. Road to our second building is the second.
:rainy:
See, you have water too on your side, but not a word in news again today. Except complaints about water in NYC streets and 44 dead people, the "medias" have nothing to tell.
I hope your family is fine, and had the occasion to take a real shelter against hurricane.
We have full sun here this afternoon, when we are supposed to be under thunderstorm warning :shrug: I don't believe I'll disappear of internet because of that, but at least you know.
-
Good Morning to all......
Just sent you message Sir Knight asking how you made out with IRA. Guess I should come into the forum first LOL....
Good Morning to all....A unknown weather day today. Our weather forecaster gave his "Personal opinion" forecast and the weather bureau forecast...which are completely different LOLOL.
My Brother and family told me all the rivers in Woonsocket, RI are flooded due to Ida and that in all his years he never seen so much rain coming down so fast and hard. I found out from folks in Newport that there was a lot of street flooding and also some wind damage to some building. I found out that the street my Mother used to live on was totally flooded. If she was alive she would have been calling poor Jimmy every two minutes....
Today I have to clean out my computer system and do a major rewiring job since the kittns have learned how to unplug things.... :thud:
But they are fun. Oz is SLOWLY tolerating them...it takes time....and we are not pushing him. He has his space when he doesn't want to socialize so all is good.
And now to grab a cup of :java: (Thanks Fafnir) and see what is what...
-
Maybe your Mom would have been evacuated because of her age and healthy issues if she was still alive and living there?
But yep, see, not a word on them too in news. Nor from all other States on the Ida's path between Louisiana and NYC.
And babies, don't they ask after their Mom since they are in your home?
Perhaps it's time for you to hide all those fancy cords to the kittens? :tearlaugh: When I had my Vista, first thing Puce made was to start to "eat" the cord. Just one little crunch inside and I was lucky to be there and to see her - more for her than the comp. She was a little more than 1 year old. But since all those years I learnt when she is stressed, she takes plastic or similar in her mouth; and at that time she was in adaptation moment, less than 10 days at home and her monster sister not far away.
I guess 3 in the same time is hard for Oz to accept immediately.
-
So far they are playful, cuddly, and all the other things cute kittens are. And we see no signs that they miss the outdoors and their mommy....They eat great and we have kitten milk we give them, and they do not go near the front door when I go to feed their Mom (Stripes), Big Blacky, Blacky and Grey ...So all is good so far.
And yup with the wires. Next weekend I'm moving all the living furniture around and while I'm at it I'll be kitty proofing the wires. We were planning to rearrange the living room before the kittens came around. After 5 year...it's time for a new look LOL.
-
Maybe their Mom prepared them enough for the separation.
Excellent end of day guys

Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin. Cooler dry weather finally. Two tornadoes and lots of work closures during the week but now things seem back to "normal". We haven't heard anything from neighboring states on our news, either. My Louisiana relatives are all alright. :woohoo:
-
Glad to hear those news for your relatives :peek:
-
Good Morning to all....
Tis a damp day out today....not sure if rain will come....but doesn't matter....I'm fine with the rain since I have nowhere to go today LOL....
Glad to hear all is well with your Louisiana family members Sir Knight....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Good talking to you yesterday...though I was late on wishing you a Happy Birthday LOL....But my thought is.....I really don't want to be reminded of Birthdays...so it's always better late than never....
And yup...you may be right Aelin.
And below is the rewiring job I did with my Bedroom Computer System....and believe me....I didn't want to put up a before and after. Keep in mind it's just Lorna and I here and no one came into my bedroom so it was a spaghetti eddie mess LOLOL
-
You can tell thank you for the babies for the help they gave to you to improve that area :tearlaugh:
-
No doubt....and as you can see...they started moving their stuff in to my bedroom LOLOLOL
-
wiring job looks great now you can come do mine
-
Very tidy cable work, TL. I'm always impressed at where kittens can take things. Having a little trouble with imagining how they got the cat bed in there but I'm prepared to be surprised. :thumb_up:
-
As you can see...I got creative for Ozzy....I replaced my computer chair a while ago because the arms and back were getting worn out....but the seat survived...and this is where Oz sits to enjoy the view outdoors....Of course the kittens have figured out how to get on it now also....LOL
-
As for the bigger things in the room....I think Lorna snuck them in whilst I was out doing my outdoor chores such as filling the birdfeeders for the "Oz and Kitten Entertainment Hour" and watering my plants....
-
wiring job looks great now you can come do mine
Sure enough...send me the airfare and I'll be right there LOLOL....but then again...I could drive....Have had this lease car for two years this month and only have 5,230 miles on it...but then again...with Covid...where would I go?
-
Nice job on the wiring TL. Glad I got pockets to hide wires on my new (relatively speaking) desk. Unfortunately, our dogs still manage to unplug one of the monitors on occasion.
Yeah, Louisiana is a right mess. Still got relatives and fiends who live 'round the New Orleans/Slidell area. No word from them as yet. Been attempting to contact Aliene's son but so far no go. Used to live over in the Bay St Louis area of La, but Katrina sort of did a massive reno in the area. They've been rebuilding ever since. And, I'm sure that Ada carried on the tradition of massive deconstruction.
Humans are really stupid when it comes down to it. We like to build our homes in the most dangerous places, regardless of the hazards. Just as long as it looks nice. Such as huge floodplains.
Enough of that. Think I'll head over to Fafnir's for a cup or two of the good stuff, and perhaps scarf some of those biscuits and bacon!!!!!!!
-
:lostme: Suggestion Bundle power Separate from Data so you do not have to line interference.

TL ya gave me a new idea for my cabling. I forgot I bought a couple packs of those felcro tie wraps years ago. They'll be the hoo-dinkus for that job! Inside the box and out :D I still want to cut some 2x4's or 2x6's to set my monitors on. I catch myself hunkering down further and further cause the only way to raise em up is to stack stuff under them. Actually chopping up a 2x8 would do nicely too!

Humans are really stupid when it comes down to it. We like to build our homes in the most dangerous places, regardless of the hazards. Just as long as it looks nice. Such as huge floodplains.
Enough of that. Think I'll head over to Fafnir's for a cup or two of the good stuff, and perhaps scarf some of those biscuits and bacon!!!!!!!
Question is where is the safety? When you aren't on the shore (floods, tsunamis...), there are plains with risks for floods too. And moutains and hills can still have landslides. Not counting the volcanoes. When none of those, you still have the earthquakes :shrug: Or, when you wait the less for, a (little) meteor - that happens too.
And wind can come everywhere.
Hope all people you know are safe too. And those they know, and so on so on.
-
All life is a risk and it matters not where one is ... so I just get on with living ... and fret not about the things one cannot control and work on what one can and live to the fullest ...
-
Haven't finished all I wanted to do on the wiring yet "J" and Rad....Had to get things put away before the "Little Rascals" came back in. Tomorrow a few minor adjustments and some added items...
McG....I've had to rewire so many times I have a 10 year supply of velcro, tube, and other items for wiring LOLOL
And now to continue with my Social Site posting. Got FB done....

Nah deal with that tomorrow...have other things unfortunately... My neighbor passed away while I was work yesterday...Not sure yet about attending the funeral but getting a wreath for door at the moment.

Sorry to hear that. My parents always said that one goes to the funeral for the people who are still here. The one who's gone is already fine.
-
sorry to hear about your neighbour Nosh
-
Mornin Sir Knight hope all is well with you and your family
-
Fafnir, all is well here. My younger son is visiting from Pittsburgh so the dinner table was full last night for the first time in a while.
Pastor in training didn't prepare his sermon to go the whole time so I'm home much earlier than some days from church.
Hope all is well with you and yours, too!

It's a sunny day here, but we have the confirmation with more trees they are thinking Fall is coming.

Hey Hipshot
https://fb.watch/7RxmXoNelL/
That was pretty freaking crazy
-
And for the other crazy part the first three hours of my day was spent doing Win-Blows updates and then scans from the multiple "cleaning" programs that are installed then a restart.
The the fun part was that each of the free programs all say buy our paid version to get rid of additional junk and provide additional protection
Nothing against the concept mind you, just find it amusing that everyone one of them say the same thing, however they all claim my problems are in different spots :ummm: whom to believe ...
-
What the heck, got domestic today and swept floors, mopped said floors and vacuumed all the carpet, went outside and gave the weed whacker a good workout on top of everything else.
Did all of the other monthly tasks, such as replaced the air filter in the A/C, filter in the cats water dish and the filters in the vacuum cleaner, dumped bleach down the drain for the A/C on top of it all.
:thud: What is with this nonsense, granted I am sure if a truly obsessive compulsive cleaner were to inspect there would be hell to pay but :shrug: I live alone and Watanuki doesn't seem to mind much ... :tearlaugh:
-
Good Afternoon to all....
Had a fun "Pre Labor Day" day yesterday. After all was said and done....I was worn out.
As for updates...."J"....I just pulled my "Walmart Emergency HP Computer" out of the closet to do updates. Didn't realize it's already been a year....and yup....I'm on update #3 of 12 and I've been updating since 8AM this morning. But then again...that Emergency Computer is not a powerful computer.
Anyway....doing updates today, was going to mow today but will do it tomorrow. Maybe...
And now to see what is what and who is where and why with :java: in hand.
-
The real crazy was that my prediction was borne out this morning while doing said updates.
6 calls in 10 minutes for Orange County Fire
Of the six, four of them were medical, one was a auto accident with injuries and one was an overturned vehicle with entrapment
I tell you mankind is hell bent on destruction, and they were practicing yesterday
-
The world has always been crazy ..... we just hear more about it these days.... Modern Technology....got to love it.....or not...
-
There are several parts that I despise or is that "loathe with great intensity"
-
Afternoon.. Big reason I am trying not to go out....I know there are more drunks and stoners out right now driving vs Thanksgiving..which is the holiday with the highest incidences of both. Sadly I do need to go back out...When I wish my personal vehicle was an A-10 lol
-
With the idiots we have nowadays....Not sure if that would even be good protection.....
That is why I had folks come by yesterday....
No cook out but a cold out. Didn't use the grill at all. Had Turkey, Chicken, Salami, Liverwurst, and other subs made with cold cuts. Went over in a big way....and actually...a lot less expensive than Brats, Burgers, and Hot Dogs....
-
That was pretty freaking crazy
Wasn't it? Kinda looked fun too
-
Exactly
Well OF COURSE that's the right way to do it . . . doesn't everybody ???

Yes, Dreamer. I can definitely see that yon dragon indeed be "maiden trained". Let us just hope that he brings her back in one piece.
Not to McG and Dreamer both:
Oh HELL YEAH!!!!! :woohoo: Love watching those armored beasts do their thing!
The only bad thing I could see is that ALL of the AFVs were Soviet built or Chicom copies. No western tanks invited??????? Would like to see a late mod M1, Leo II, or Challenger run through the course and smoke it!!
Or perhaps even an AMX-30?
-
Nice thumbnail Hip would love to see a full size in the gallery but that is just me :tearlaugh: being :pervy: ... I mean interested in the mechanical details of the tank ... yes that is the truth of the matter. :iminnocent:
-
J. ...pfft...yeah right. You just want to see how good her shock absorbers work.
-
Well, you do know about safety checks and inspections ... right ... so the problem is ... absolutely nothing .. right ... right????
Just offering my professional assistance for such an important task
:iminnocent:
-
now J the tank ain't what you looking at it is her so fess up or we get Kianna to refresh your memory
-
I am just curious what kind of safety course you would need to do the safety checks on to see if everything works lol

Do you really think you need to worry? :iminnocent:

Probably not, I would be more concerned for me since I am the master of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Wonder too about the drinks :winks: Too bad we haven't a dragon like that in each family, sleeping quietly with cats.
Probably not, I would be more concerned for me since I am the master of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Depends always if the wrong is from your pov or the pov of the others.

That's a hell of an advert for wearing a helmet. :thumb_up:
At least its not one of those Wagnerian helmets with the wings or horns!

Note to J.
I have a fondness for the Anime Panzer Girls and have done several images with the tanks I have. Recently got a few more so will be working on them in the near future.
-
Actually an amusing note to that Hip. JSDF all branches started making Anime style mascots and saw a 20% increase in enlistments. I got kind of hooked on them after watching Arpeggio of Blue Steel.

Good Morning to all....
Wiring job IS finished with all items in their proper place.
All works fine. Got the reserve computer all up to date now...I think I'm just going to keep it hooked up since it took me two days for all the updates to get done. Not going thru that again....
Got outside chores to do today....No grass cutting yet. Still dry here.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...good talking to you...Hope your day goes great....
Good Morning Aelin.....send some of your rain my way please.....
-
Morning home today Mindy taking a leak all over everything here. Flooding already starting in some areas.
-
Not certain who the rain is courtesy of here in sunny Disney World but it started last night and couldn't make up its mind as to intensity and duration but its bbbaaacccckkk :rainy: now :thud:
Seems to be adamant about its strength now to say the least :rowrow:
-
Probably Mindy stirring things up.. Radar shows her center near Jacksonville right now and we are getting moderate rains here in Chucktown.
-
Ain't that the truth :java: :ifonly: :tearlaugh:
Didn't have to agree so rapidly ... just saying
-
Good Morning to all....
Good Morning Aelin.....send some of your rain my way please.....
If only, I would share. Even if our local sequoia seems to ask for more water those days. Yet, earlier, with rain, he seemed more green :tearlaugh:
But I'm sure in other locations in France they would share a lot of rain.
-
I would beg some one for rainfall as we have had 4.52 inches year to date. 1.92 in for Jan 2.01 in for March and less than .3 in for all other months. But I would feel guilty asking for rain for any place other than N. Ca. JUST Enough to help with the fires and not to much to cause flash floods and mud slides. Strangest thing is every time the sky spits on the ground we have double the number of auto accidents, and if you are wondering how people like that could get a drivers license, most don't bother with that non-sense.
-
Oups, guys I wish you an excellent end of day. A sudden lightning came on the horizon
-
Have a great night Aelin.....Stay Safe...

Yup...it's been bad in your area and I'm with you in hoping N. Cal gets some rain. We've been lucky and only had a few fires here...started by stupid humans.... We have "NO Burn" Orders all the time but some silly folks think they can manage a "CONTROLLED FIRE".....NOT....But now our fire departments have gotten smart. If you burn on a no burn day and the fire department has to come out....You pay for all damage expenses and time spent by fire personal. Fair is fair. I call it a "Ignorant" Fine.
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with plenty of fresh made melted butter for dipping
-
Good morning guys!
In France, when the ones who started fires were found the last years, the justice simply declared them irresponsible and that they only needed to go in a psychatric institution. Probably faster to "give justice" that way...
We had enough rain for ourselves last night, and the additionnal ended in the river. Which is good like the level wasn't high. Thunderstorm wasn't a big one, but made a bit of show.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Going to be a warm one today. Glad your storms had some entertainment mixed in Aelin.
Hope all went well yesterday Fafnir....
I've got a busy day lined up. Lorna has two appointments at the clinic so I'll be dropping her off and Picking her up....and while waiting....I'll take a stroll through our Farmers Market and pick up some Banana Bread, Cinnamon Apple Sauce, and some other goodies made by locals.
Debating on doing the lawn though. Still not growing much but do have some high grass spots that are basically in the shade most of the time. We shall see.
But I better grab a :java: (Thanks Fafnir) and finish my tour in here....
-
Just a few high spots, hit them with the weedwhacker,level the spots with the rest of the lawn. A little tidy up. Then when the sky sprinkler finally deigns to go off, the lawn explodes evenly. Unless you need the grass seed, in which case let it grow, let it grow, let it grow....
8 )
Cheers
-
If the grass is too short, you end with an evaporation of the water, which is probably not what you need currently.
We have dark clouds on the south, but sooner the sun will go to sleep, and I won't be able to follow them more. Still, no mist arising from the hills this time.
-
You both are right.....and yes on the weed whacker. That's got more use this year then the lawnmower LOLOL.
Our saving grace has been the high humidity...so we have some moisture in the evening time...but if the grass was cut short....there is nothing left to hold the moisture in...Burnt grass holds nothing.
-
Excellent end of day guys

Good Morning indeed....Hope all had a great night. Tis going to be a BUSY day today.....So I'll need a LOT of :java: Ahhhhhhh
Ever try to type with two kittens playing on you lap?.....after they climbed up your leg to get on your lap....:thud. Puss.....and.....Boots are the "Twins"....One small smudge on Pusses Puss ia all that tells them apart. They are "Tuxedo" kittens...
And then there is the runt of the three...Lil Blacky...Whose is the adorable female... They are all "Potty Trained" and Oz has been great with them....
And now to continue on with today's fun chores...with :java: in hand
-
Sounds like the start of a good day. First over to Fafnir's for coffee and vittles, then chill out for the rest. Aliene is off from TGIFridays - go figure - and enjoying the quiet while I can. Might have to visit Wallyworld a bit later. Cheyenne, my German Shepard female needs some more cans of chow. The old girl - and she REALLY is an old girl - pushing the high side of 20 years, so we feed her the good stuff.
On a lighter note, the Force was definitely with me the other day. Stopped into a thrift shop - Connie wanted to check it out - and found a nearly complete Gamin GPS system for $20.00. It was under a pile of other stuff with only the edge of the plastic bag visible. Snagged and brought it home, got it charged up and it works perfectly. SWEET!!!!! Need to get another hanger for it, but no biggie.
Still working on my Panzer Girls, but wanting to find a few more armor units that'll work in Poser.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Been looking like rain most of the day, still hasn't happened though ... damn tease Mother Nature is being today .... :tearlaugh:
Finished volume three of a series that I have had on the TBR pile for some little while, twas a great series ... getting ready to start a new series by the same author that apparently follows up from the one just finished :heeheehee:
Finished up a lovely week of tuning and updating radios at the local fire department at Disney, normal work week is 80 hours and we logged 90 for the period.
Still have at least another two days next week, and then a lovely trip to NASA and another doctors appointment :thud:
Some times I wonder what is wrong with me
-
You DO know you left yourself WIDE OPEN with that last statement "J".....Right.... :ifonly: :tearlaugh:
-
Have a great night Aelin......I'm still in FB....going to Pin shortly....
And now....ON WITH THE SHOW....with :java: in hand
-
old age catching up J and the Doctors are going to multiply as you get older
-
:o_go_on: Remember I am a Gemini, there is two of me to start with, so foot in mouth instances no big deal, the doctors are going to have to figure out which is in need of treatment and then who to send the bill to and better still do you really think that bill will ever get paid :tearlaugh:
-
Ain't that the truth Fafnir....LOLOLOL
No matter how well you take of yourself..as you get older..they'll find something....and then you'll think they are making it up just to make a buck...till you find out they WEREN'T making it up....and in some cases it's too late to do anything to help you out.
I had 3-valve bypass surgery at 45...because I didn't listen to my body...I listen closely now... :woohoo:
-

Good Morning/afternoon to one and all. Bit of a late start as was watching Sherlock Holmes flics on Youtube last e'en. Great, 'cept for the commercials, but can live with it.
Was digging through archived files and found several good armored vehicles. Even an M60. Tracks are a bit rough, but workable. Even located a standardpanzer Leopard Mk1. Gorgeously detailed. Just the textures aren't that great. And a good bunch of 3Ds tanks/AFVs.
Think I'll hit up Fafnir for some of that good coffee and such, then get to playing . . . I mean work.
-
I prefer to wish you already an excellent end of day guys.
At 5PM I was out of web since a while, and listening radio about weather. They said there was a lot of rain on a close département; and rain with thunder storms. Indeed, at 7PM here we had a thunderstorm. The true big rain came with. I guess all streets are cleaned now :psycho:
It's around 8:20PM here. The sky is very dark. Many clouds inside. And the hills start to have mist arising from. It's not 100% sure about mist and thunderstorm, but the last time it was the case.
Not sure also if mini forecast weather said a word about. He closed himself in his house, which he didn't do in a while. But if it's the case, now his previsions come only less than 1 hour before the beginning.

Been a busy couple of days but got a break today.....No appointments for either of us...wooohooo
Debating on doing the lawn. Today's high will be 75 degrees but the rest of the week will be in the upper 80's.... We shall see. Still have brown grass in a few areas. We are 10" below our average for the year.
The kittens are raising hell in the living room. I have Ozzy babysitting them. He's been very good with them so far. A few moments when he played a little to rough....but they keep running back to him LOL.
Anyway...let me take a visit to see what is what...
Morning to you Aelin and Fafnir.....and the rest of the gang....
-
I imagine that ol Oz knows exactly how much is too much for the babies. Pretty sure they remember being babies! I saw Tattoo with all the yard cats babies as well as with Mogwai, he convinced me they got darn good memories. When they want to, that is. Heh! Only time he slapped the snot out of one was when it kept trying to get ninny from him! I thought he'd got electrocuted at first the way he popped straight up a few feet all akimbo. Nope, he had just left a poor confused looking kitten looking all around for him. Tattoo would even help keep the little ones corralled for the mommas. But I keep him indoors now, for his allergies. Next, fresh cuppa coffee! :woohoo:
-
Well, when he does get to aggressive...Boots and Puss have a escape plan....nip his ear and run LOLOL.

Had the Grandson and his girlfriend here for a visit this morning. She didn't know it but he brought her here to Monroe to take her to their favorite outdoor place in Monroe...."The Bluff"......in order to propose to her. She said YES and they stopped by after that.
They have both been married before and all the ex's get along with each other fine...so that's a good thing....I'm happy for them....the ring looked wonderful....and they both looked happy.....
Now I'm worn out :thud:
Anyway....time to see what is what...

Congratulations to them, TL. Fortunately, he didn't made that at The Bluff during April Fool :tearlaugh:

gratz to your grandson luffie

Definitely. Its good to find a good woman.
On a more sour note, today I took Cheyenne to the vet for a checkup. She was not doing good. Couldn't keep her food down and not wanting to drink water. Had a hell of a time getting her into the car. To make a long story short, we had to send her on to the Rainbow Bridge. She is now on the other side and playing with all those that have gone before.
Now back to trying to work up some enthusiasm for working in Poser. Perhaps better luck editing an old manuscript. In any case, we shall see.
Thanks for the well fortified coffee Fafnir. Much appreciated.
-
Sorry for your loss Hip..know how it feels.
May need a little help with the freebies since I no longer have poser. Daz been finished..

Good morning guys
I'm sorry for your loss of Cheyenne, Hips :peek: My Tania (a cat) ended by the same way during Fall 2007. The Friday she wasn't able to keep her beloved fish meal. We expected during the weekend an improvement, but she took nothing after that. Just was here, sleeping, walking, taking hugs. She was a though baby of not yet 16 years old; didn't want to take the thing at the vet room. But she joined her sister/mother she lost more than 2 years before.
I'm sure Cheyenne found all your other babies where she is now and is having good time with them.
-
Of that I am more than positive Aelin. I have seen her with all the other shepards and other critters we have had over the years. It is never easy to just let one of them go. She had a LONG full life so no worries there. But, as my son always says "it is, what it is".
Sorry for the maudlin thoughts. :peek:
But, life does go on. And speaking of life . . . . (reaching behind and grabbing ears to pull 'till I hear a loud pop) . . .
Ah, that's better! Now, I can see where I'm going!!!! Think I'll wander over to Fafnir's for some good eats and a boatload of coffee - and whatever else I can scarf. Then I think I'll continue checking my stock of AFVs and such for some more PanzerGirl renders.
Still considering current contest, but no real concrete ideas as yet. Wonder why that could be?
*goes wandering off in a smoky haze*
-
Try to go in the dungeons, you could find some ideas with the Kianna's help :ifonly:
-
That could be fun. Hate to say it, but I sort of miss the snaketacles winding about. Not so much getting an ear bit or two.
-
By the by. Picked up the Naga hair a good while ago. Been attempting to use if for a render of perhaps one of Kianna's relatives. If not Kianna herself. Any ideas where I can get find some usable snaketacles? Or a reasonable facimile thereof??????

My mistake, that was a Ajax's stuff. Unfortunately, it's no more longer available, even by web archive
Excellent end of day guys

"Good afternoon. I'm Brett van Zandt and this is Giancarlo d'Angelo from the Department of Justice, Tentacle Division."

It would be the Ajax version of bone tentacle hair, that I use for her luxurious locks. Along with a shader set that I forget where I picked it up at but it too was or is a freebie.
-
The Newest Version is this Cyber Hair for Genesis 8 Female(s) https://www.daz3d.com/cyber-hair-for-genesis-8-females
The one J uses for K is and old Freebie called bone hair:? I think
Yep not ever, mainly because I do not or will ever use Genesis versions of characters.
Die hard Poser user and that is all that needs to be said
-
There was a medusa set at Daz for Vicks 4, might even still be there at a discount.
There was a medusa hair at Share for vick4 as well, but found it to be memory intensive.
Cheers

Shader set might be:

MATs'N'Poses for Ajax Tentacle Hair - P5 Version by blutm8
-
Hi folks! All this talk about Kianna and her Snaketacles is giving me the creeps! LOL
Anyway, I was finally able to upload a new image to 'Our Gallery'. it is called Macro Star Hive Ocean Landing. Check it out. Read the included description text. Let me know what you think.

Arrr!

Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ ribs with all the trimmings

Perhaps it was on Rendo, but the one listed on the wikia for Poser and Daz freebies is no longer available. And... I see Sir Knight gave the author name in addition.
-
Just the poses and MAT's on Rendo. The hair was a DAZ freebie from a subsite of DAZ that no longer exits. That Rendo page points to a DeviantArt page that has the download. A tangled mess. :shrug:
-
McG, are you reminding us that tomorrow is Talk Like A Pirate Day?

:lostme: When I followed the link since the wikia, all I found was a no longer working link on Rendo. Maybe it's something from France side :shrug: I had the chance to take the hair before Daz made changes on their site.

On a more sour note, today I took Cheyenne to the vet for a checkup. She was not doing good. Couldn't keep her food down and not wanting to drink water. Had a hell of a time getting her into the car. To make a long story short, we had to send her on to the Rainbow Bridge. She is now on the other side and playing with all those that have gone before.
Thanks for the well fortified coffee Fafnir. Much appreciated.
Sorry to hear that my friend.....It's always hard and sad to do....but it's for the best...
-
Good morning to all.....
What a way to start a day....."Snake Head" chatter in our coffee shoppe LOLOL..... As long as the original snakehead isn't in here.....I'm a happy camper....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....
And now to get the day started....... :woohoo:....Oppps.....I mean Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of .....Coffee.... :ifonly:
-
Good Morning,
Looks like the days are getting shorter again. Sun is not even up yet at 5:39 am. Hope everyone will have a great day.
-
I agree....I typically feed the outdoor strays around 6:30 AM but now I wait until 7 so they can see if they want to refuse what I'm feeding them LOLOL. Picky beggars....that's for sure....I think I spoiled them. :thud:
-

Who? The original snakehead ??? Just why art thou talking about Medusa ... ? You want to be turned into a statue? :o_go_on: You are quite :odd: today
However I would hope that you are not trying to malign the good name and reputation of :kianna: .
Tha would be most unfortunate. Just saying
-
Auuugggh....Snakehead DID show up..... :thud:
-
you mean Dreadzilla
-
You both mean Kianna ... we know not who those other two names refer to ...
-
:lostme: When I followed the link since the wikia, all I found was a no longer working link on Rendo. Maybe it's something from France side :shrug: I had the chance to take the hair before Daz made changes on their site.
I fixed the wikia page to point to the new version of the freebie's link. It's "Pending Approval" so I don't know how long it will take until it actually arrives on a visible page. It's now

Auuugggh....Snakehead DID show up..... :thud:
As a tropical fish keeper for more years than I'd like admit, "snakehead" triggers this in my mind:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakehead_(fish) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakehead_(fish))
although the Californians among us might think of the gang or other associations. People keep releasing them into US waters and then you see this:
-
That do look like trouble and a more accurate depiction of a "snakehead"
-
Even the little ones can put a serious bite on you. They have long pointed teeth.
-
Teeth just like Kianna has....Wow....a long lost relative..... :ifonly:
But they are a threat...it's a carnivorous alien fish known for its voracious appetite and ability to wriggle short distances on land and has been found in southern Wisconsin's Rock River.
-
Methinks thy :java: is to strong for thee. Mistaking a fish to be a relative ... especially to a 3d character smacks of "out of touch" with reality ailment.
And a pretty advanced case ....
-
Coming from the "King" of weird :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :ifonly:
-
But on a good note "J"....most of us in here are a little strange at times :tearlaugh:
Yikes....Aelin was here a minute ago....and Poof....disappeared.
I guess I better get busy and finish my chores in here since I'm thinking I will finally cut the grass today...We shall see....
Now...where's my :java: Ahhhhhh
-

Sounds like a Walleye on steroids.
-
we have the snakehead fish here in Fl and they crowd the native species out if not fished for to keep their numbers down same with the other invasive exotic species that have been set free to take over our native species

Thanks! That's weird the previous link didn't work, but maybe it was a consequence of the revolution at Rendo years ago.

And that remark about the Kianna's teeth brings us to that question: how do you know her teeth? :ifonly:

At the time where you said that, I was out of web since around 1h30 :iminnocent:
-
Well I just got done with the yard and then showering....and I'm pooped....but it's done. Got most of what I wanted to do with the weed wacker....but in the shady spots the grass was long....so all is good and the yard is once again respectable.....
I thought maybe you had some weather events going on Aelin.....As for Kianna and her teeth....there are a few shots in here somewhere that shows off her fangs LOLOL.....
-
Nope, it was only the moment to take care of the hamster, specially like he is in one of his periods "I run in my wheel in the afternoon, look at me a long moment!"
Excellent end of day guys
-
Drizzle drizzle we now have something like rain for the evening hours ... how cute
Could be worse :tearlaugh:
-
Enjoy your drizzle "J"....Have a great night folks....
-
Paying more attention to the aroma coming from the slow cooker at the moment ... snicker ... damn I am good in the kitchen.
Oh the drizzle has given up the ghost .. damn sissy.

Good morning guys

Morning...dont ever get on a character sculpting binge lol...
-
Good morning, Aelin, Fafnir and Noshoba.
Noshoba, what tools are you using in sculpting? I'm guessing you've gone down some path that makes it uncomfortable.
-
Lol..its painful but not bad..faces are the fun..dialing is fun..having way too many MRs is not lol. Decided to rebuild the girls since had used Mika 8 as their base...wanted the freedom to do as I please with vs the copyright issues.
Been nice practice..also built tween options. Tabby looks all innocent like a kitten ..Yuki?..she and innocence are mutually exclusive even at that age lol.
-
Good Morning to all.....
I'll take a triple coffee Fafnir with a little coffee on the side. Been a long day already LOL....
Hope all have a great Sunday....and stay out of trouble....for some it's easy...for others.....???? LOL
Been typing this on and off for the past hour.
Finally have time to myself for a minute. Between Neighbors who don't know a thing about plumbing and kittens that love power cords I've been busy plumbing and wiring LOLOL...
Anyway.....Let me see what else is going on in here and then finish what I started to do today....
With :java: in hand
-
Any occasion to do something wrong is good for kittens :psycho:
Excellent end of day guys
-
Be well Aelin..
-
Well, it is time for part two of the drizzling rain tonight, not complaining mind you since it is dry inside and I do not have to do anything outside at all. :yippee:
Well, probably have to break the weed eater out by next weekend since the grass is growing :thud:

Hi y'all! I think autumn has arrived here in the panhandle. It's 12:20 and still isn't up to 70F yet! And like the others already said, it's getting light later now too. And, dark at 8pm. So yup, it's FALL now! :woohoo:
-
Excellent end of day guys

Arrrr! It's 7:22pm and 72°F, HeYaaa! It's dang near winter that is! LOL! :grenade:

:tearlaugh: Only looks like rain in my neck of the woods, had something that tried to be rain but ... failed

You got more than we did all month J! :lostme:

Hey guys, has 'ArchiNet' or 'ArchiBase' always given 3DS formats along with the .OBJ's? [Archive3D net] Just downloaded some odds and ends there, and noticed all have several formats inside the zips. AND they are mostly zipped now, not arj'ed.
-
In their upload form, they say that they may convert what you provide into additional formats.
If we look at the archive.org version of the pages from 2007, say, it seems to have had whatever was uploaded and little else.
This is great news, McG. Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't noticed the change. :Hi5: :toast:
-
Morning coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the fixings
-
Good morning guys!
This morning we had a lot of fog hanging to the hills, it was cool! Then, after 11AM, the sun started to erase the fog.
-
Good Morning to all.....
A beautiful crisp fall day out today....had to bring Lorna to the clinic and will have to pick her up soon....then stop at Wally World for some dry cat food....and who knows where else....
But in the meantime...I'm going to enjoy a :java: from Fafnirs kitchen....Ahhhhhhh
-
Wish I could say the same. Been pretty toasty here for several days running. And this despite the weather weenies "suggesting" that it was going to rain. Going out to the car usually found the temp indicator running about 99-105 degrees. And that's before starting the AC.
Had a late night so it is now off to Fafnir's for some coffee and vittles, then on to the days projects.
-
Excellent end of day guys :ghost:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Like my tater wedges I do. Rain? Got a lot of it. Month's worth in a day and the equivalent of all we got so far this year will have fallen by end of day today. Better than snow. Not been in good shape lately to hang around but I am by each day. No coffee or Creek these days. Buttermilk and a salt shaker if you please.
-
Good morning guys
-
Good Morning,
Well it is the 4th Quarter of the Year. Seems like it just started a minute ago. Temperatures out here are getting good out here starting to cool down in the high 80s to mid 90s F.
Going through a few footlockers left over from my days being in and out of the service and my need to clean this place out. Can see the difference between the different eras over the last forty years in uniforms and equipment which will be either packed away or sent to the Salvation Army.
Hope everyone is doing well.

We lost the latest of the hamsters a little more than 1 hour ago. They are tiny, but the place they leave behind them is huge, really huge.
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=41537
-
I'm so sorry to hear it. :sadder:
-
Bummer Aelin. Sorry to hear this.
-
sorry to hear of your loss Aelin
-
I am sorry too, Aelin. Yes, the little ones sure leave a big empty place in us when they go. I was so sure they were longer lived than that. But nope. They are OLD at 2 years!
I like Hamsters, they remind me of Hobbits for some reason. Maybe the furry feet? :)
-
Thank you guys
Maybe the feet indeed. But no one agreed on their time on Earth. Once I found 5 years. Most of time, one says 3 years. But they had to endure the heat wave during Summer 2020, and I guess their bodies didn't like that.
-
Sad to hear the news about Donald's passing. I know he had a good life and a happy home.

Good Afternoon to all......
Just a short visit so see what is what....and then I'm off the computer for the day..... Been getting the year ready for the transition from Summer Decorations to Fall Decorations.....My biggest chore is taking all the batteries out of the decorations I have in the yard LOLOL...
Tomorrow Morning I've got to take Lorna to the Dentist for her appointment in Janesville. While waiting I always take a trip to the Comic Book/Collectable Shoppe. I love to look at what they have new and every now and then I clear the moths off the wallet and make a purchase LOLOL...

With access to alien technology with great versatility at a low price, it becomes widely used in various industries around the world and begins to play an active role in the battlefield. With the presence of EXOFRAMES, existing weapons and even the existing world order will become "obsolete" ...

I like the older OVA anime myself, when you either got each chapter on a VHS tape or a video cd.

Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked ham with all the fixings and tater wedges

Good morning, Fafnir. Please thank the girls for such a good breakfast each day. The later meal sounds wonderful.
-
Morning...scroll delete..scroll delete...all the burial insurance emails I keep getting...makes me wonder if my ex-wife is doing something.
-
Good morning guys, and thank you again.
-
(Lurch Groan . . . again!) (UGH!) Hi folks and Good MORning all ye Attic Denizens! IT is 77F here, with 26% Humidity, and feels MARVELOUS it does! I just slept 9 solid hours is all. Heh!

Excellent end of day guys

Good Evening to all.....
Been a LONG day and glad it's almost done. Right now waiting to see when I have to shut down due to storms...but then again...they've been saying "Storms" all afternoon and so far we got a 4 minute sprinkle but did get 35-40 MPH winds.... So we'll see what the night brings....
Today is my oldest Grandsons Birthday....31 years young. Had to stop by and give him his Birthday Gift on the way back from taking Lorna to Janesville for a Dentist Appt.
And now I'm pooped....so this will be a short visit....and Fafnir...I'll finish off the rest of the coffee in here LOL :java: Ahhhhh

Morning Dreamer
Evening :mwah: I should be sleeping but I am arguing a bunch of polys into order for a stair rail
-
I\ll take a couple of those biscuits and a litre, I mean quart; of buttermilk and a salt shaker please Fafnir.. Quali from Sochi is soon and I can't drink for a few more days. Sucks.
Luffie; the rain and storms finally stopped here at long last. Got about 8 or 9 inches over the last couple of days. Lots of flooding and a few power outages. I'm more than high enough to avoid flooding. Water reaches my door and it's too late for cutie. Power outages are just a pain. That was Tuesday.
Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday.
-
Good morning guys. Rest well McG!
-
Good Morning to all.....
PDG.....I truly wish we could get just a little of your rain....but YIKES.....I surely wouldn't want that much....Mother Nature has had a wild wicked ride this year....and I've got a feeling it's not over yet...
You take care...and yup...I remember how high you are....Hummm...that didn't come out right.....Power outages do suck for sure. I've been lucky here. Haven't had a major outage yet...had some "Intentional ones" that they give warnings for....but that's it.....I better knock on wood LOL....
I'll have a triple coffee Fafnir....I'll need them to keep up with the little critters that have finally decided my bedroom is their new playground :thud:
And a Hello to you Aelin and Dreamer.........
Now to grab my :java: and get things going.....
-
Yeah the boffins are saying this is ALL due to our causing global warming with all the pollutants we been putting out for the last 150 years. I can't argue it one way or t'other, honest. But gut feeling is the sheer volume of what we would have had to put out to do all this is...doubtful. To ME it is. The precession of our planetary axis is more do with it than carbon emissions methinks. Anywhich way, the weather IS a changing! And we could be looking at snowball earth our own selves.
If we were to live so long that is. :lostme:
-
Er make that two of them super coffees, please! :D
-
I never argue about this subject with anyone because I won't be around to see the final conclusion as to what IS destroying our planet. And you won't be around either Mc-G LOL....
But ANY TYPE of Pollution doesn't do ANYONE any good.......
-
super coffee's coming right up Mc G
-
I'll take one of those super coffees as well Faf. Personally, can't see what all the fuss is about. The ass . . . I mean politicians . . . . want us to take the heat and its the other countries are the ones doing all the polluting. Temps have been going up and down for millenia, even without the help of sheeple. So . . . Meh!!!!
:whattodo:
Connie had a birthday yesterday. Won't state her age as you guys know how women can get. Anyway, took her to a nice quiet dinner. Minus Aliene, thank the Goddess. While there, I gave her the present I had in mind. She had gone off to check out the wares in the Cracker Barrel while I paid the check. Snagged her present at the same time. Got her one of the transluscent unicorn glitter globes. She had drooled over it during an earlier visit, so I thought I'd surprise her with one. The Force was with me and I got the last one still in box.

:lostme: Let us be honest most of the problems are caused by being Lazy.
Bend over pick up trash and put it in the Bin.
Put the cart away so it is not in the Parking lot.
Etc..

-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of spirits to add the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning ans for later on they well be serving up prime with all the trimmings and tater wedges with your favorite drinks
-
Good morning guys

Morning..sadly have to work..but got a little rendering in ..even after the Sunday churchlady battle.
-
Good Morning to all....
Been a while since I've been in here this early on a Sunday. But later on will be busy so might as well see what is what now.
And yup Rad...Laziness is most definitely part of the problem.
Happy Belated Birthday to Connie HS....and glad she loved the gift....Unicorns are awesome....
I'll take a biscuit and a pot of :java: Fafnir....Makes for a great Sunday Morning Breakfast...
Morning Aelin.....How was your weather yesterday...did the storms bypass you?
Glad you got a little pleasure in before work Noshoba....
And morning to anyone I missed.... :java: Ahhhh
-
Know how you feel TL. Was planning to just kick back until time to take Aliene to work. However, she just got text saying that they didn't need her for today. That being the case, I think I'll just spend the day working on a PanzerGirl render or two. Anxious to see if I can come up with a proper color/texture for a beautiful Panzer Leopard I I found recently. Still no real concrete ideas for this month's contest, but I'm still hoping that "ze leetle gray cells" will soon be firing properly.
:woohoo: :coffin:
-
I can relate to being the family "TAXICAB" .... Lorna is at the age where everything is starting to break down so it's Clinic this and Clinic that LOLOL....
-
About the only advantage of being single with no relatives that live close or rely on one.
The downside is what happens when ones personal vehicle decides to start giving up the ghost :thud: granted I have a company vehicle to fall back on but still what if I didn't ... oh BTW head gasket again .. :OMFG:
-
Florida driving does that to cars....I think it's the heat.....or the driver.....or the driver in heat.....In either case....YIKES....Not a cheap fix...
-
And am not liking the thought since this would be the third time I have had to repair this vehicle since I got it. Plus, having already put in repairs more then I paid for it and since the A/C does not work as well, is it really an efficient use of my money.
It also has reached 170K miles for only being a 2008 model year.
-
Nope, we had the thunderstorm, and I left just in time because the show had a lot of striking lightnings. I saw few unusual lights on the walls of the house before the complex, but thought maybe they were just cars. The coming of the thing was really fast after that :lostme:
-
I do like a good storm though.....Love watching them come in....hate when the winds get howling to much though. The rain I don't mind as long as it's not raining elephants and rhinos.... Cats and Dogs are fine....but the other two are a wee bit much :java: :tearlaugh:
I don't think I'll have to worry about mowing the grass until Spring Time of next year. The grass that hasn't been burnt yet is now turning brown due to the temps....
-

When this happened the second time I mentioned that it's time to think about getting something different...Cheaper than repairing a car that old. You know what they say.....STRIKE THREE...and YOU'RE OUT....
-
Which is what I think about doing it yet again.
The real fun is now wading through all of the shysters, tricksters, liars and so forth to acquire a replacement vehicle that will not set me back to terribly much.
It is bad enough that I am certain to take a home mortgage into retirement, but to also have a car loan would be rude. Considering that if all goes well, I have set my sights on six years hence.
According to the math my student loan will be paid off prior to retirement so I count that as a win, but to make it right I would also like a vehicle that is sound and sturdy plus paid off in the same time frame.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
good luck finding one J
-
Ohhhh thanks Fafnir, that is a GOOD coffee. Even reheated! (glug!) that really *IS* good man!
Jherrith, I recall the day I got in my 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo. The cloth covered bucket seat gave me a hug and still hasn't let go, not even SEVENTEEN years later man. GET a Ford, Dodge, Chevy or Jeep...but get an in-line 6 cylinder and 4 speed automatic overdrive tranny. No matter what brand vehicle, FORD makes that transmission and it is a good one. I speak from experience about the in-line 6 cylinders. It doesn't matter the brand, those engines just don't wanna quit! DO make sure to keep up with the oil and filter changes, and it will serve you well for 20 years plus. My own Jeep is now 22 years old and still running fine.
G'nite folks, have a blessed evening!

Not much going on today .... thankfully ..... Might have to go and pick up some scripts....we'll see.
Thanks for the Coffee Fafnir and Good Morning Aelin....and PDG.....Hope your day goes well....

But on the other hand....You'd be shelling out money continually making repairs on a vehicle that is certain to die soon and all that money spent would mean naught. At least when making payments on a good used vehicle sold by someone whose reputation is not labeled "SHYSTER" ... you would have something dependable and have Air Conditioning also....

At least when making payments on a good used vehicle sold by someone whose reputation is not labeled "SHYSTER" ... you would have something dependable and have Air Conditioning also....
Indeed which is why I will go that direction of continuing to throw good money away. Finding a non-shyster vendor is going to be the trick. Although in theory my bank partners with a dealership moving new and used cars. So might start there since it would make getting a loan easier.
Although I am quite certain I would not know how to act if I had a personal vehicle with working A/C. Have not ever had that lovely combination previously.

Got ya there man. Connie has been suggesting that we also get a new vehicle. Thinking about another SUV, Subaru Forrester, to replace the 99 we've been running around in. The AC is that went tits up some time back. Luckily, the AC in the Baja is still going strong. Will be getting the Dodge 1500 up - hopefully - this winter.
fingers and toes crossed.
Been trying to get started on a render or two, but the bod just ain't willin' Much rather kick back a bit and just relax - although that is relaxing - its just not the same. Been feeling a bit puny and that bloody knothole has gotten even meaner. Maybe some of Fafnir's coffee will help . . .
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
aye, that it tis.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be pizza with all the trimmings

No uploading/downloading period..its ok lets see how next few days go..

Took a ride to Janesville just for the hell of it...Picked up some new comics....just for the hell of it....
And will only be in here for a short visit. I tried to make it a "No Computer Day" but we all know how well that works.
Anyway....Here are a few of the comics I picked up.....
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Be well Aelin...
-
Have a great night Aelin
-
This is a pretty fun place to visit.....A lot of cool stuff in there: Click Americana (https://clickamericana.com/)
-
Wow, come great titles there TL. Vampirella, Creepy, Eerie and one other (Tales from the Crypt?) were ones I bought all the time but Vampi was me fave!
Back then they were by Warren, never heard of Dynamite. But hey, as long as they get the comics out to the people they are great :o) That was back in the 60's. FIFTY + years ago man. I'm surprised that I can remember stuff that far back! LOL! Oh I see they got the better artists now too. For a while I remember some crap cover art. Glad they got that improved!
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
orders more 12 yo McClellans single malt so we don't run out
-
It appears to be National Coffee Day on both sides of the line. Not a fan of Starbucks and don't have a Dunkin' Donuts. Haven't stepped into a MickeyD's in years and none of the usual suspects throw's in a shot so I am happy to have Fafnir's Fortified available in such friendly surroundings. Oh, and I am back to coffee and Creek. For a while at any rate.
-
Actually that bottle is now 22 year old sipping Scotch..as for coffee..
I call all of those politically correct coffee. Only strong enough to call it decaf ..even the regular.
-
Good morning guys!
We had a owl in the district during 10 nights, alas since 2 evenings she is silent. Maybe she was just looking for a new territory, and found something else more around the town.
But the time she was here, it was cool to hear her.
-
Mornin' Aelin. Hope you get to see the owl later tonight.
I've noticed lately Noshoba, that good quality Scotch is becoming adulterated with <gasp> burbon!!! They are doing it to quality Rye as well. Is nothing sacred? After all; corn liquor is a fuel additive last I looked. Why drink the stuff? Like my Rye, I am particular about my coffee as well and a lot of these places just don't make good coffee.
Tim Horton's is the favorite National chain (now owned by Brazilians if I recall correctly) and their best selling coffee is the double double. Dishwater weak coffee with 2 sugars and 2 cream just to give it a reason for existence. Failure. I have three gift cards for the place that people have given me over the years with a total value of $125. No doubt they have expired over time.
My buddy Ed drinks MickeyD's every day. More than one. He is private security and has little else to do most days at work. He gives me the little stickers that one is to save up to obtain free coffees. I end up with one or two free cups each week. I distribute them to local street people which I am surrounded by. It allows them to get inside to use the washroom or get out of bad weather and heat waves as the cards allow them to be "customers" and "buy something."

I brew my own conciousness fuel, Death Wish Coffee, finely fresh ground, brewed "just right". Dissolves plastic but not glass or ceramic.
Cheers

Park anyone that adds bourbon to Scotch needs to be removed from the gene pool...as for the coffee... Brew my own...do miss the old 8o'clock coffee that could be used as a good paint remover lol

Hi guys . . . . is it safe to come out now?
Had a hell of a day last e'en. Getting ready for a quiet night . . .
good luck with that! . . .
The storms moved in about 2000 hrs and stayed the night! Talk about a surreal light show. Thor must have been really pissed at Jupiter and Zeus no doubt had issues with Rama! They were firing off broadsides for hours. Had just enough time save my work and shut down system. Lights went out moments later and stayed out until around 0900 this AM.
Only good thing was sitting out on porch and watchin' the light show. Sort of like Mad Minute when you burn through all your remaining ammo before calling it a night and throw in a couple of drop flares just for the hell of it.
Rough getting any sleep when your CPAP machine ain't workin'. Did manage to cat nap though and promptly faded out soon's the power came back on and could get breathing machine up and runnin.
Supposed to rain a bit more over the next few days. Just hope it doesn't turn out like last night. More coffee please Fafnir. Those toothpicks I use just aren't doing it.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready we got some fine Scotch and Rye Bourbon too but not mixed so you only get the best spirits the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings
-
Good man Fafnir. I'll have a couple of them biscuits this mornin' as well. A little peckish this morn and as I am supposed to be going grocery shopping shortly, a little breakfast is good.
Today's big plans include denuding the balcony. Frost is near and there is a vearible jungle out there which appears to be hiding a large family of skunks judging by the smell. The apartment is going to be a bit stinky for a few days I'm afraid.
-
Good morning guys
Hips, the "just to time for" before the storm remembers me what happening last week with our own thunderstorm.
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Been a busy morning but now I can relax for a bit.... And we all know my idea of relaxing. Coming in here to chat....and then off to collect freebies.....and believe it or not.....I'm actually doing a wee bit of sorting trying to get rid of dups, trips and quads...but then again....I've said that before and yes....it's a never ending project :thud:
Lorna use to hear an owl that was in the tree next to her bedroom Aelin....Yup....that tree that's no longer there due to the last wind storm. Haven't heard it since then even though I have two trees in my yard. But they are busy trees with bird feeders and camping cats....
And now to continue on with my travels in here.....with :java: in hand.....Thanks Fafnir...
I cannot believe how fast this year is going....Even with all the BS going on in the world.
-
Excellent end of day guys
-
Have a great night Aelin....I'm heading out also....
See you all in the morn....
And yup Mc-G....Love my comics....Glad I got to pick up some of the shorty series of Stranger Things. They have sets with as many as 16 comics in the series....This one had only 4 so that was cool.
-
Yeah. My son is also into comics collecting.
Can't believe how much he's spent on comics.
I know they're not worth much as ratty as they are, but I've got most of Space Family Robinson, OOdles of Conan's - both large and small editions - Magnus, Robot Fighter, and even Groo, the barbarian! Collected them all when much younger so they were in the care of my family - read that as secured wherever! - while I was working for Uncle Sam. So, you can imagine the shape they're in.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roast pork with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good morning guys
-
Good morning to all.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....
And a HELLO to you Aelin :ghost:
HS....I have some older comics also that aren't in the greatest shape. My Grandfather use to take me to his Newspaper and Magazine store and just to tease me...he would pick up some comics along with what he was buying. When we got home he would give Grandma the Magazines she wanted and then sit in his chair and SLOWLY read the comics....just to tease me......I'd get them eventually but man...the waiting was HARD TO DO LOL. And I still have all of them.
-
that sounds 'bout right. Dad was not a big comic reader - he passed while I was still in High School - but he did like to read. As for self - love the old ones. Still look for them now and then, but they've been priced WAY out of my market. Though I still luck up on some of them in out of the way places. Back in Las Cruces NM, we had a place called Chester's Whatnot shop sited in an old barn. I spent many an hour going through the HUGE stack of comic, magazines and - what not- he had there. Hardly any of them were in that good a shape, but was still great for reading - not to mention re-reading. I'd buy 'em, read 'em then trade them back for others. And we had places where you could sell your old comics back - for little or nothing . . . what did I care? It was MONEY and I was just a kid. And I'd go out and buy some more!
Good times, as my son says. :woohoo:
-
Yup...it was fun for sure. I use to load my wagon with comics I wanted to trade and go around neighborhood and had a grand time...Of course only did that when staying with the grandparents.
Would NOT do that in the Housing Projects I lived in. I didn't even keep my comics there....They stayed at the Grandparents....
I was the oldest of 5 boys so I knew better then to take them home....they wouldn't last 10 minutes LOLOL

Excellent end of day guys

Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin. Time to get in the Halloween spirit.
-
Good Morning to all.....
A wet day out there....but enjoyed the Thunderstorms which have been rare this year. Didn't get a lot of rain...but any rain is a good rain....We are still 10" below our normal.
Which means a nice lazy day for me.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...and Good Morning Aelin....

No way are we wearing those clothing torture devices ... that is why they be running ... well at least until I do the shopping :iminnocent:
-
Good Morning,
I really don't think Nevada need refugees when we have millions of the escapees from California living here now. I really liked it here when we had 100,000 in the in the valley and everything was small; little or no traffic problem or crime. Now we have 2,265,461 as of the 2020 with more crime and whole lot of traffic in Clark County. Oh well I guess that is what we call progress. One bad thing about it is that the countryside is rapidly disappearing, I used to like being out in an area that was mile from people and you had a great sound of silence to relax in.
-
That is definitely a downer
-
I used to have loads of the ones my dad bought, He could not read but you never knew it cause his rendition was very accurate to the words...LOL
Tales from the crypt, Vault of Horror ... and those of the same type. I let my half-sister borrow them and never saw them again, somebody stole them from her. :lostme:
Have never been able to replace them.
-
Excellent end of day guys.
It seems it will be a windy night :ghost:

Morning..still getting used to the quirks of this new phone and provider.
I feel that ... me and the new phone I got months ago are still fighting about how to do things

Some people like devices that think they know bettre. Auto fill, auto correct, send you to places you neither want nor appreciate. "smart phones" can be so dumb.
Cheers

When I went off to boot camp, my Mother threw ALL my earthly possessions in the trash. Including the first 14 issues of Vampirella. And my full grown midge cat! Now that tells ya what you're worth in life.
-
It's not too bad if I could get rid of the Google keypad. Painting trim in a house right now lol.
-
It is Sunday morn and all is quiet. At least it was until Aliene got back. Oh well. Now kickin' back and working on whatever. Today is a "do whatever floats you boat" day. That means a good cuppa Fafnir's coffee and a a touch of the available vittles and go back to vegetating for the nonce.
-
Excellent end of day guys

You got that right Aelin. Most excellent.

Good morning
Was looking since almost 1 hour plenty old cars passing to take gas at the near shop. It seems we have a meeting of old cars in the area, but heard for it until when I was back at home at midday. A lot passed in the morning apparently. And it's not over, but I have other things to do alas.
I took few shots, will try to cut them next days.
-
Good e'en all. Had a nice Appreciation Day for our first responders. Plus a neighborhood gathering. Now back home and chillin'. On a side note, got a game I've been looking for. A PS4 game called Ocean Descent. Part of a package. Not the greatest by still nice. The VR is also quite nice. Except when you are floating out in space. OY!!!

I'm caught up with my reading and now I feel better about being so far behind ......
Fafnir...thanks for the call my friend....and I'll have a Nighty Night pot of :java:
-
Long day today. Had to go to the VA in Temple. The vampires were hungry and the mossies were more than ready. Both Connie and I got hit. Got her about four times since her veins are not the greatest. Mine are getting there, though it only took two hits to get what they needed for their nurishment. Got back home after taking Aliene to Wally World to return a few things . . . . I don't know why that girl buys things. She always takes most of them back! Returned after that and burrowed into the bed for a nap. Now up and about and headin' over to Fafnir's for some good coffee.
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roast beef with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good morning all. Lookin' like a great day. All's quiet and most everyone is still abed. Aliene is the only other one up. Went out for a bit, but soon came back. DRAT the luck!!!!!!!! Was hoping that she'd take the bus to town. OH well. Think I'll motor over to Fafnir's for coffee and nibbles. Then we shall see.
:batty: :batty: :batty: :batty:
By the by . . . anybody got some bat spray?
*and I'm not referring to the Caped Crusader's choice in anti-perspirant!!!!!*

Good Moring,
Well there is a rare thing going on outside here in the desert. It is raining out there don't usually expect rain when they forecast it, since we mostly we get clouds and no rain.
Hope everyone is doing well.
-
Afternoon and feel the guilt trip,.
-
Gee whiz man if *ANYBODY* in here feels a guilt trip, it be ME Noshoba! You n TL get out and actually DO stuff. I struggle just to get to the front door!!!

Woohoo! I got two of my 3 new keyboards today! Whu?!? Wrong thread? Aw so what! Like I said, I love everything about the new LogiTech K740 (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-Illuminated-Thin-Keyboard-K740/11084822)Illuminated Low profile sculpted keys THIN line USB wired keyboard. Except it ain't splash proof. It took me over a month to get used to this ones sensitivity. But it isn't as "soft" on the stroke as many of the other perfectly fine keyboards I have stood in a stack on their ends in a corner beside the movie shelves. Keyboards, what do ya do when ya need one? Visit ol McGrandpa, that's what! LOL! I do keep one all white wireless compact one just for using with the laptop/Tablets. It may be small but it's WAY bigger than those tiny ones on the tablets with their chicklet keys. Makes em much more usable for me! :D
-
Had to turn a stray kitten, not feral, into the shelter.. cute as hell and ridiculously friendly. I am not as allergic as my younger brother but I am.. The guilt came from all the years the ex and I used to foster for the animal shelter.
-
Well, had a bit of excitement for the evening.
Walked to the door because I could hear a diesel vehicle, looked out the window and saw enough lights to make you wonder which holiday was on tap.
Saw no less then seven vehicles in front of the place and stretching down to where the incident was at, turns out it was reported as a residential fire, turns out there was no fire ... thank goodness ... however a total of eleven vehicles were originally dispatched.
Assuming that once the first vehicle got here and updated the incident, several of the remaining vehicles were released from the call.
How is that for a crazy night?
-
I sure feel for ya Noshoba. At least that kitten survived. Bless it, and you!
-
J, whether just an exercise or a real call out, be glad they DO respond and fast!
-
Good Morning World,
At least that sounds good.
Looking forward to today's menu, and that bottomless cup of coffee. I think I will have a good day, even if I like it or not. :mummy:
-
Good morning

J, whether just an exercise or a real call out, be glad they DO respond and fast!
Always am glad of that, I was just commenting on last nights episode of "It's a Wonderful day in my Neighborhood"

Morning Aelin.....
Noshoba....That is a good thing to do for sure.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....suppose to be a HOT and HUMID day here.....15 degrees above our average October day for this time of year.....
Sounds like a very exciting night indeed Jherrith....and as Mc-G said.....great response time.
Morning M-C......I love having coffee with my coffee....a great way to start the day.... :java: Ahhhhh
And now to continue with my adventures in here LOL
-
So I got you one you'll get a kick out of thelufias. Seems our Chief Public Health Officer has released the guidelines for Halloween yesterday. People like yourself are starting to decorate and the kiddies (of all ages) are hitting the costume shops.
So; after the whole thing being cancelled last year this year's guidance is, "for the children to celebrate the holiday without exuberance." Huh? Not "celebrating" much if it's done "without exuberance." As for the part about "holiday?" When did I sleep through that?
Guess I better hit the grocery for some treats before the kids T.P. my door. Without exuberance of course.
-
Yup...they still have their nose into Halloween Celebrations down here also....and no...it's not a Holiday....Kids still go to school....and parents still work....but it IS a fun day when done properly LOL
I decorated last year also even though we didn't get any Trick or Treaters.
I always decorate.
And I still buy candy just in case we do get some kids stopping by.....and if they don't....I always buy the candies that my daughter and I enjoy LOLOLOL.... :ima-getcha: :ghost: :witch2: :witch2:
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug with double shot of Creek added [for the trip] and a fresh pot of coffee for Luffie
-
Thanks Fafnir. Time to warm up and dry out. Been raining here for a week or more. I'd buy an umbrella, but with a cane in one hand, and an umbrella in the other; there's no where left to carry shopping, let alone a travel mug of your fine warm beverage.
-
Wish I could say that it has been raining here. No such luck. Been dry and actually not so warm. Temp hardly broke into the upper nineties. Would like some rain though . . . . . .
-
was supposed to rain all day here but nary a drop we did have a frog strangler yesterday afternoon with a lot of wind tho
-
Had something that looked and acted like rain on Thursday night ... looked like it wanted to rain last night but didn't and as for today or tonight .... tis conspicuous by its absence
-
Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings and sweet tater wedges
-
Thanks Fafnir. I'll take a coffee while I watch the rain and wait for my F1 coverage. Yeppers; rain. Supposed to rain for at least another five or six days. Not heavy, just annoying. Big puddles to splash people with as the traffic blows by at an entirely inappropriate rate of speed for the dark wet predawn hours. It's currently 22degrees C. About 72F. For Thanksgiving tomorrow they are calling for 29C (84.5f). With scattered showers of course. It's been something like 70 - 75 years since we've had weather like this. Records broken somewhere every day for the last couple of weeks and it snowed in the northern part of the province last night. I'm betting no snow for Christmas here. Yeah; with everything locked up, except sporting events; I have little to look forward to anymore.
-
Good morning with sun
-
! recall 10 years or so ago all the talk about 'weather cycles'. 10 year, 25, 50 and even 75 year cycles were broken down, written up, blogged on etc. Boggling stuff. TOO much on it. Mind shot a blank. So now, I think about the planet cycles, and how it can often be related to what Rayvn pointed out some while back: Our planet's axial precession. So we can add to that major factor all kinds of other bits, like how humans have polluted everything in, on and around the Earth. Dang if we ain't just a bunch of mess makers!
Like a baby in Pampers, if we don't have direct parental influence to affect our every outcome, we truly paint the walls with poop! Don't ya recall sleeping in TOO long of a Sunday Morning, and finding your little one(s) TOO quiet (which is the thing what woke you up!)? You get up, pause for one peaceful dreadful moment before stepping from your room to theirs . . . and see the Classic Picasso In Brown everywhere that child can reach from his/her crib. GAH!
Oh God Help me! I Love all my kids so much, but I am also SO glad they are all grown and the baby is now 36!
-
Hey Fafnir, them vittles sounding so good this morning!
:jacko: :batty:
-
Good Morning,
Looks like tomorrow the wind is really will blow out here tomorrow. Sustained wind at 25 to 35 mphs with gust up to 60+. Not bad I remember in the 70s the wind got up to 103 mph. It tip over tractor trailer rigs, buses, and motorhomes and other high profile vehicles on the highway. Our weather other than that is getting cooler the low was 47 degrees F and the high expected is 72 degrees. That is quite a bit better than this summer with some of the high at 116 degrees in the shade.
-
:ummm: We have no weather of that sort coming up anytime soon. Calling that a win, however the boring part of my life is once again upon me.
Writing progress (report) cards for the students in the class I teach ... :puah:
Have 17 students this semester so double :puah:
-
Heeeyyy! You're a getting popular it seems! :comehere: :grenade: :cheer: :thumb_up: :yes: :viking: :shock: :explode: :yippee: :heeheehee:
-
I prefer the shadows and let the others shine, I do not know how to handle accolades of any sorts ... it makes me embarrassed
-
Well, the good news is I got the report cards completed, proofed, printed and hand signed ready for delivery.
-
We need more :sake: after that debacle
-
I'll drink to that!
-
Morning coffee cocoa :tea: and :sake: are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled pork chops with all the trimmings
-
Good morning
Are your students better or worse than the previous semesters, J?
-
@aelin About the same as last semester they received grades in the mid 80's to mid 90's for the mid-term report
-
Seems that's pretty good, compared to several years ago when I first found your thread. Seems there were several failing grades, and some in the barely passing level. I recall you griped plenty about their laziness and unwilling to work. That makes this batch pretty good, it seems!

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be beef ribs with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Mornin'

Good morning

Good Morning,
Wind really blew last night. Still windy outside but not as bad as last night.
-
Good Morning to all.......
Had a couple of "Family Days" so didn't get on the net much.....
But will be catching up on all that I missed today....
I plan on making today an official "SOMAD"
Not to mention that the weather has been crazy for the past couple of days....but I love that we got rain. A little late...but very good for this time of year.
Anyway...let me see what I've missed...with :java: in hand....Thanks Fafnir...it taste great....
-
I was wondering if we had a cold blow down from the Rockies last night. It got cold. Like 40-42 F. I think that Fall Fell last night! :)
:jacko: :ima-getcha:
-
Highly possible McG. Has been pretty chill here in central Texas. Felt good. On another note, I know that I have been MIA for a couple of days. I'm afraid that my old computer has bit the bullit. (Poor thing was well over ten years old!) Connie was good enough to get me another 'puter. Another nice HP. A gaming console from Wally World. So, it is with great pride that I announce that Bad Moon Rizen now has a younger brother tip toeing through the internet. Took a while to get the HD installed and the monitor situation squared away, but now fully operational. Just got to reload all progs and files. Glad I made copies a few months back. Should be back up in the next day or so, hopefully.
Crap!!!!! ..... better grab another cuppa. Gonna be a looooooong day. :java: :java:

Good morning

Mornin' all. Was just watching to see if Jeff Bozo would succeed in killing Captain Kirk. A little disappointing as I was hoping to see a weightless Bill Shatner. Guess they expect me to pay to watch the upcoming documentary. They expect too much.
-
Yeah. I saw that as well. Guess he survived. Haven't heard anything to the contrary yet.

We are passed officially this morning in the world of frozen mornings. Yet, passed midday I saw a butterfly despite the cold :thud:
-
Good Morning,
Nothing like coffee first thing in the morning.
-
Why just stop at morning.
-
:lostme:
As I used to Say it is 5 o'clock some where! :iminnocent:
:coffeemaker: :drinkonus:
-
hot coffee or iced coffee is good all day
-
Unlike you hard core folks we can only do hot coffee and in the morn and no more then one cup ... I tend to get even more hyper than I already am, if I drink more then that :tearlaugh:
-
I drink coffee all day... there's a reason I call it liquid conciousness.

I have issue with bouncing off walls it leaves me so bruised :tearlaugh:

I have a similar issue. The armor leaves holes in the wall, though. :ima-getcha:

Fortunately, I have no landlord since I am buying, however trying to get me to spruce up after Watanuki has clawed the carpet is an exercise in futility.
-
I have been off coffee for a bit more than a year. Last week I was told I could have up to 2 cups per day. That works out great as a half coffee pot equals 2 cups of 18 oz. each. That is the perfect amount for my 20 oz. mug. :coffeemaker: Who knew math could be so much fun. :yippee:
-

Lucky my carpet doesn't show where Kitt has clawed it, I know for a fact its not her claws being unable to make an impression. There is a reason I get the vet to give her any tablet she may need....

Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin. Things are certainly quiet here.

Morning . Been working late ..tis Mother in law season lol.
-
Good Morning to all.....
I had all intentions of coming in here yesterday but as with most days of late....something came up....
As for coffee.....like Wizzard....it's a all day event. But I do have Propel and Clear throughout the day also....just to keep hydrated LOL....
And now to continue with what I started but didn't finish which is almost everything :java:
-
Morning . Been working late ..tis Mother in law season lol.
LOLOL....so many things I could say....but you've probably heard them all already

LOLOL....so many things I could say....but you've probably heard them all already
:tearlaugh: Not me, since I have not a mother in law :tearlaugh:
Coouldn't resist
-
Wabbit season!

Cheers
-
The simple answer is no one wants their mother in law to see a dirty house when visiting during the holidays.. Oh my son married a slob..he could have done so much better etc etc.
-
LOLOL.....That explains it for sure....
-
But better to have them visiting then living with you. Had all of Lindas family live with us at one time or another. The Father in Law for 18 years...the Mother in Law for 5 years...(They were divorced) and all 10 of her Brothers and Sisters on and off. When she passed away that stopped quickly....If they wanted to visit....they could stay at a hotel....and not a one has visited...
-
That is very true. Bad part here is many homes skipped a year due to Covid so are in serious need of work.
-
Agreed....been a while for many.
-
Well, this doesn't sound good, listening to Orange County Fire Dispatch, "medical emergency" this is the homeless guy that lives in a tent in the area you are familiar with ... :thud: if someone is homeless how do you have a cell phone that works? Even more distressing is the fact that he has had problems before and they have been able to find and render assistance which is the good news.
It is just sad that someone is living in a tent who's location is well known to the Fire department and yet he is unable or maybe unwilling to put a real roof over his head.
-
Many agencies furnish phones to those who can't afford one. Of course they are basic with no thrills...just a phone....but they have them.
As for being homeless....most times the choice is not theirs.
-
J you would be surprised at the number of homeless here that actually work but can't afford the rents.
-
I am not surprised much by man's inhumanity to man. We are also well aware that for a lot of people being homeless was not their choice
It is a very sad day ... well actually it is a very sad state that man has sunk to, willing to be bet that it mostly greed on the landowners and rental peoples part.
Apparently even in my community it is a landlord dominated place and they just keep raising the rent and will not do repairs or have the homeowner do them which comes off the rent. But it is the homeowner doing the work or contracting it ... seems a little backwards to me.
At any rate the mind blowing part is this my place has more square footage (1200 compared to 900) then my neighbors and my mortgage payment is lower then his rent even with me paying an extra $100 per month.
-
Ouch!! And I thought I had problems. Old landlord wanted to sell home. Company wanted us to move. New homeowner came to check house and wanted to know why we were moving. After explanation, new owner gave care takers a VERY dirty look. Especially after she found out we had been living there for several years without incident. (New owner just wanted it for a rental property) So, still here. Paying a bit more, but all to the good.
As you can see, got new system up and operatin' Connie talked me into it. Also, almost got entire Poser runtime reconstructed. But still working on it. Fafnir, keep that coffee a comin'!!! :java: :java:
-
Well considering developers here are supposed to have sections of affordable housing ..boy that's a misnomer here. Affordable is considered 500-700,000 range for 2 bedroom 2 bath home...and rental is even more of a joke.

Morning..church ladies defeated and now a relaxing day pfft of building skins lol
-
Good morning, Fafnir and Noshoba.
Noshoba, tell me about the skins you're building. I keep starting on converting my characters' skins to the more realistic models and bog down after about three figures.
-
Knight as of right now for G8F and G8M , I have all my characters built with fully custom shapes and textures..Ayame, Kasumi, Misaki,Natsuki, Sayomi,Sensei,Shion, Tabby,Tomo,Tsuna,Tsuruya and Yukina. So yes could package as freebies or for sale. Also have 3 age presets for all. So yes been busy lol.
-
Give me a few and will post up a collage of them.

Holy double :thud: :soapy: and here I was crying about still owing a $98K on mine after paying on it for 14 years. Oh this is on a three bedroom, two bath, two story townhome.
Made the mistake of refinancing in the early days due to wanting to go on an overseas vacation and the A/C needed replacing, so have no one but me to blame for still being this deep in debt, and with me supposedly approaching retirement. Then with all the bat-shit crazy rubbish that has been the worlds lot since the recession and this medical excuse for man to act like a "dickhead"
However just checked some records and found out that I bought at $132K and now according to Zillow it is valued at $181K :whatthe: :thud:
-
Good morning
Years ago, several workers from Paris city hall had no other choice than live in their cars, despite they were with a contract. No owner in Paris or around wanted them, not even the city hall! I don't know if that changed or not.
Hips, you are lucky to find a owner wanting simply to have good people in her home. How many prefers to have money, forgetting they take a risk with new occupants.
-
J to give you an idea. I used to have a home in Virginia up near Fredericksburg on 2 acres of land. Bought it for 98 less than a year later was appraised for tax purposes at 297000. Chucktown makes that look tame as it has two the highest real estate areas in the country.

Same here I bought a one bedroom condo for 80,000 twenty years ago in the better part of town now they are going for 180,000. Also in a valley next to mine I bought 2.5 acre of land for 1950 dollars in 1974, and gave to my niece for graduating from Graduate School. It is now worth 60,000 as raw land. Inflation is not your friend and uncontrolled profiteering is not either.

Hello to all.....
I'll have some :java: Fafnir.....
Not feeling to chipper today....I'm thinking I overdid it yesterday LOL....
So I declared today a PJ day and I'm binge watching "Tales of the Unexpected" hosted by Roald Dahl on You Tube.
And while I'm at it....I'm cleaning up files on the puter. I've got pdf receipts dating back to when I used a zip drive to store everything.... :thud:
Anyway...it's a trip down memory lane and prices were so much lower back then on most things....Except things to do with computers and laptops....
But time to take a tour........with :java: in hand
-
Well might have to wait Knight. Spent all day getting fatal error crashes
-
Sounds worse then mine taking three hours to restart and install updates.
-
Well might have to wait Knight. Spent all day getting fatal error crashes
Sorry to hear it. I'm in no rush, just interested. Is it a need for a driver update? That's my usual source of crashes other than creating a too ambitious scene and running completely out of memory.
-
Suspect the latter. Dforce hair/fur tends to seriously suck up the memory. Annoyance is crashing on loading not rendering. Just did a program reinstall.
-
With DS4.15?
-
Suspect the latter. Dforce hair/fur tends to seriously suck up the memory. Annoyance is crashing on loading not rendering. Just did a program reinstall.
What gets me is your computer is a higher spec than mine and I have no problems at all :whatthe:
-
I find particularly the Oso3D figure hair is just a memory killer. He's taken to providing lower resolution ones that don't (usually) crash my machine. And Aelin may have a point: I didn't get nearly as many crashes in previous versions. Anyway we should probably wander off to another topic rather than jam up the conversation with Studio specific troubles.
-
Any one here any good with names? Need one more cottage name to go with Bramblehold, Hollyhurst and Brier Burn :peek:
-
Tarnsrest, Heathfaire...
-
And yes this crap started with 4.15.. not worried about spec issues. Have my work arounds... Of course didn't expect them to put out anything with 8.1 worth using but they did lol
-
I asked the version because recently on Daz forum, I saw somebody who was forced to downgrade her version, because 4.15 was crashing despite a good machine.
I'm no more sure about identity of that person, maybe something like "Wonderland" or "Wonderful".
-
Why I mentioned 8.1..a lot of it won't work in anything but 4.15. Don't ask why but they won't . Otherwise would stay with 4.14.

Morning to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with all the trimmings
-
Mornin' Fafnir. Don't use DAZ either. Haven't looked at it in years. Seldom open Poser either except to download the latest patches. Now days I spend all my time in Blender. The interface is finally useable even though I still tend to use hot keys to model.
In fact I'm just about to suck back one of your fine brews and delve back into a project I've been working on in said software. As to the home costs you folk were listing on the weekend; lucky people. The average new condo price here in the Big Smoke is $708,521 and the price of a two bedroom detached is averaging in at $1,525,465. Those numbers as of Oct.8 this year.
Try buying a home on a minimum wage or lower end salary in this berg. Ain't goin' to happen. There are homeless encampments in my neighbourhood for a reason. If it wasn't for RGI (Rent Geared to Income) I'd probably be living with them. I'm retired on a fixed Govt. pension. I would be on the street myself if I had to pay Market Rate for this crumbling shoebox. There is a reason so many retired Canuks have homes in the States. Cheaper to pay an American mortgage than a Canadian rent. The lack of cold in the Snowbird States just adds to the attraction.
-
Morning ...Like I said a few things for 8.1 I use a good bit lol..most of it is just new rehashes...as for the home situation...SC sits near the top ten for highest required minimum wage to afford what I mentioned..and we are not talking a single tenant but a family with both working. Chucktown's biggest issue is it's going through major regentrification and pushing lower and retired income people out. Of course they forget if they keep doing that they won't have anybody around to work those starvation wage jobs that let them sit back on their fat arses and veg.
-
Good morning
Still working mainly with DS3 for my own renders. Since I forgot to keep a too old version of DS4 and that now every time I move in, the comp is asked again and again to calculate...
-

Gentrification. I've watched my neighbourhood go from rich to poor to rich to poor over and over again. They call it "renoviction" here. The rents are out of touch for most people so there are rent controls to help people out. Property owners get around this by doing "improvements" to the property. They get to kick renters out in order to do property "repairs". This allows them to crank up the rent and beat the rent controls. Sucks.

Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled prime rib with all the fixings and tater wedges

Morning ...another chilly morning.
-
Chilly indeed to start but we're looking at the low 70s today. Pretty good for late October.
Sorry; forgot to wish all a Good Morning. Good Morning all.
-
Good Morning,
Snowed up in the mountains yesterday and tried to snow in the valley. It will all probably be gone by tonight. Looks like it may be a cold winter out here. About every 10 to 15 years it does get really cold here. And now for some coffee.
-
Good morning

That is a good one lol.
Ok knight here is Ayame and Misaki taking a break from hunting Dark Angel's poltergeists. Showing Ayame without her mask or glasses to see her eyes.
-
The textures are really good. Worth the work! (Of course, I like the girls, too.)
-
Thanks. Doesn't hurt to build up a nice collection merchant resources. Building the shapes was the fun part lol
-
very nice Nosh
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled thick bone in pork chops with all the trimmings and taster wedges
-
Morning and thanks. About a month's worth of work.The males are being more of a pain for the usual reasons lol. Lack of anything being done for them. Enough to build the characters but building custom textures are another story
-
Well you are doing just fine so far Noshoba. Good job.
Good one Sir Knight.
-
I was thinking of you when I posted it, parkdalegardener. Not my work, just came across it.
-
... About a month's worth of work....
:hypno: I know you have a large cast. Was it just for those two that you spent a month? :nopanic;
-
Well the girls are definitely not the issue . Have 4 that haven't debuted yet because they are for a gag render. Sensei and Shian are customized for now as far as shape not textures. Grins hadn't intended to work on the later but for a certain texture got done that made me laugh. Read ..
-
And nope all of them Knight. Changed Kasumi's hair because I wanted her to go silver when she goes full nine tail. Have 11 fems done with adult teen and tween options..
And don't rely on growing up to use.
-
That's an impressive amount of work to have completed in a month.
-
I used to draw comics back before the internet took off. The key is settling on a style. Create a baseline and then go from there. So although none of them are exactly a like they all have certain proportions in common. Why I originally built most off of Mika 7 and 8 in the past. But since I might like to do some freebies or for sale items I needed to move away from that.
-
Good morning
-
Morning Aelin..Knight for an example go look at Krashwerks stuff at Rendo.
-
Ugh. 7am. UGH! And here I was thinking I am a morning person. Sort of.
So anyways, GOOD MORNING ATTIC Denizens! :jacko: :java: slurp!
-
I see my manners have failed me.
Good morning, Fafnir! Thanks for the coffee. Much needed on a cold morning.
Good morning, Aelin!
Noshoba, I do see the intercharacter resemblance in Krashwerks figures. I hadn't thought of this as a stylistic approach. Something for me to think on.
-
Ugh. 7am. UGH! And here I was thinking I am a morning person. Sort of.

Good Morning to all....
It's :java: time....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir. Left you a message. I didn't have my phone for a couple of days....Left it at the neighbors after going to her 3..now 4 year olds Birthday. Isabelle...or as we call her...Issy.... And the sad thing is Fafnir....I didn't even miss it. Yours was the only call LOL. Now if my Mother was still alive....I'd of been frantic. As most know I called her every morning and night to make sure she took her meds.
Anyway....Been fighting this damn sinus infection....Typically...I don't get one...but I heard after 70...everything gets you. That was why I was under the weather.... :thud:
Morning Aelin, Sir Knight, PDG, Noshoba (Love Love Love your characters), McG, "J" and Guests...

Mornin' Folks. Another day of warmer than normal rainy weather. Been above average around here for a month and has rained every day to some extent the whole month as well. Could be the snow they are getting north of me, but I'm glad it isn't. Cool down coming. Might actually get some frost over the weekend. Every day the frost stays away, I lament the removal of my balcony garden in preparation for it.
-
Good morning. We had some parts of the Aurore storm here, but nothing like Normandie.
-
Mornin' PDG
hope the balcony garden is doing good and makes it thru the coming cold spell
-
Nah. Not dealing with 7c (44-45f) and trying to keep my pot flowering. It was 20c (68-69c) when I went to bed at 2am. Plants are hanging in the living room ATM. I'll be spending the day answering questions as to their whereabouts whenever I go out on my balcony for a smoke. My neighbours are quite invested in watching them prosper. Ever since it went legal people pay attention. When it wasn't, except for medicinal; no one saw anything. Remember; I live in "projects" where nobody sees or hears anything no matter how loud or garish it might be.
Going to have to start a project or something today. I'm used to F1 Practice being around now, but being in Texas this race, I've got a few hours to kill.
-
Mornin' hands PDG a steaming mug with a shot of Creek in it coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be pizza with all the toppings
-
Good morning
-
Surprised at the silence.
-
yea a real quiet day in here
-
I had to go to the office today. Normally on Fridays I have more opportunities to chat.
I hope everyone had a good day and is looking forward to a pleasant weekend.
-
Could have joined me on the roof of a new ER installing three antennas for MedCom ...
-
Would have been substantially better than sitting in a lecture hall in a mask, load testing a cloud desktop setup for an hour.
Even if it was raining or really hot. :jacko:
-
I was busy busy busy backing up files.....No time for pleasure today LOLOL...
But Will be here in the morning for a short time....then to the clinic I go....Should only be there for an hour or so....Yes....they are making up for lost time with their appointments. Saturday and Sunday Appts are the norm for a bit.
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges

BOO! :ghost: :jacko: :overthefence: :shh2: Evwebody is sleeeping! :wolvie: :psycho:
Good MORNing! :ima-getcha:
-
Had a life yesterday and thus stuff to do. Doesn't happen that often any more. Today is the usual slacker day. Too cold to go out and too early to do much except raid Fafnir's coffee pot. Add the appropriate amount of Creek per cup and I ought to figure out my day. Qualifying this afternoon is the height of ambition.
-
Morning .. J would have been happy to since you were on the roof vs hanging off the roof like I was. Lol .
-
Hanging off the roof is not a choice I would be happy with ...
-
Good morning
-
Good morning Aelin, J, Noshoba, PDG, McG and Fafnir.
House is 63° F. I think I need to either have some of Fafnir's coffee or turn on the heat. :lostme:
-
Good Morning to all.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Need a couple of pots of it this morning. My get up and go got up and went....
Tis a wee bit chilly indeed Sir Knight. Right now we are at 33 degrees. We've had the heat on for a bit now. Woke up to a cozy 70 degrees....
Good Morning to you Aelin, PDG, "J", Mc-G, Noshoba, and our 52 guests.....
Hope all have a great day today. And now I have to get busy....with :java: in hand.....
-
Arrrrrrrr! That'd be me in a decent mood!! Heh! Easier to type that than "Growlrrr" or "Roarrrrr!" or whatever else one might think up. So, my non whispering gravelly grating old voice goes ARRRRRRRRRRR! :D
Whassuuup?!?!? Hey even on the roof is as bad for me as hanging off one! Me and J are alike there, us n heights are NOT a fun thing to do! I am not scared of falling. That damn sudden stop really bugs me though!
-
Oh, it's 81°F here today. So I got my AC running! Feels nice in here :)
-
Wasn't too bad today helping out my old boss at his place .
-
I don't mind high places as long as I'm not having to hang on a ledge LOL
COLD here today. Got a freeze warning for tonight.
Got my Covid Booster and my Senior Flu Shot.... Don't feel to bad and the arms are holding up. I think that is due to me playing with the kittens and Ozzy....Arm Exercise 101.....
On that note I think I'm going to sign off...after one more tour....
Have a great night folks...
-
No shots for me .... sorry .....
-
Good Evening,
Doing some upgrading on my computer earlier today, have been seeing how it renders with a upgraded graphic card. The card is a FX 4800 Quadro. These cards are not expensive now but when they were new in 2008 these cards where 1,799 dollars. I found one for 25 dollars. It works well an I have replaced my fx 1800 quadro with a good fit for my workstation which is a Z400. It is one of those computer that seem to never die. I had other that would last for about 3 or 4 years and then die. This one keeps going and going over the years with render after render.
-
I ran my old computer for over 12 years. I hope this one does as well!

Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Well, tis Sunday, time for rest ... as in the rest of the laundry, dishes, mopping, vacuuming and of course cooking for lunch. :tearlaugh:
-
Yes, it is Sunday, and I am awake. Been attempting to recover all my old files that I lost when my old system committed Hari-Kiri. Attempted to install a new harddrive and it just decided that enough was enough and died. Connie was good enough to take me down to Wally world for a replacement.
*always knew that Sam's Club card would come in handy*
Then as if to add insult to injury, I think the cat was traipsing across my desk and knocked off my ext HD that had my Poser files on it. Good thing I backed up 90 per cent of it to DVD not that long ago. Still got a few to get as it died between backups. Almost ready to get into the game once again.
-
So WTF where and who ordered :rainy: and with feeling ... for a change in my neck of the woods ... short lived as usual but still I didn't see this on the schedule for the day :tearlaugh:
-
We had "30% chance of rain" yesterday but steady rain most of the day. Perhaps it retreated South?
Hipshot, sorry to hear it!
-

Hmm that could have been me sorry, I put a load of washing on
-
Was it a small load? :tearlaugh:
-
Was it a small load? :tearlaugh:
More or less lol
-
Only a day's worth of rain so Dreamer's the likely source. Poor National Weather Service! They obviously didn't check with Dreamer before making their prediction.
-
All ways happens, nice and fine so I put the washing on and it rains lol
-
Too right, although there is still a light drizzle, so what is that all about ... not doing the small clothes or delicates :pervy: :tearlaugh:

Good Morning to all........
In here for a short visit....
We had rain all day yesterday along with winds....and it got worse as the night went on. Many of my Halloween decorations are scattered around the neighborhood LOL. The winds also tore the canvas tarp right of the Swing...but left the frame intact. Thankfully the velcro keep the cushions in place....Not that I can use them anymore. Have had the swing since I moved in here and the only thing to survive thus far is the metal frame....
Anyway......Time for me to sign off and may be back on if up to it....

Good moanin' *channeling in gendarme from "Allo,Allo"* Now up and about. Still attempting to recover "lost" files. Trying to find a texture for V3/A3 and so far, no luck. Its a furry text with two styles for the ladies. Had it on hard drive and was just on the point of using it when system decided to AMF me. No idea as to the title, only know that it has two variations to it. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
-
Have you tried the Poser/Daz wikia?
https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Victoria_3
https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Aiko_3
-
Roger that. I have it in my list. No help though. Have scoured both A3 as well as V3 looking for said text
-
Alas, I have no more idea, except looking in topics for those figures on our forum. Sometimes we have few things that the Wikia doesn't have.
I don't look for fur myself, so I can't help about that by looking in my runtime for a clue.
-
And in our topics, only for V3, I see
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=23857.0
Could it be that?
-
Nice. But no cookie. Not what I'm looking for. More like real feline.
-
do you remember who might have created it, I have loads of V3/A3 zips
-
Hipshot, was it something for Melody for A3, maybe?
-
Intriguing I think I have a few things for A3 in her Melody version.
-
I think there is also the TechnoTabby character and outfit for both A3 and V3, which are available at DAZ. If you have already purchased those products, they will be in your Product Library at DAZ 3D. Another furry for A3 is the Kitsune Character. It too is available at DAZ 3D.
-
Good morning

Good Morning

Mornin' the girls had everything ready for you all this morning and for later on they said they will have steaks on the grill with all the fixings I overslept this morning

Hey gang (specially Aelin!) thanks for all the info about the Daz3D goodies. Though I slept right through it all, I went in there this morning and found a batch of wishlisted items on sale like 60%+ off! So heck yeah, I scarfed about $80 in fun cool stuff!
Techno Tabby- I know I got the outfit and a bunch of add ons for it in the V4 variant. I did know thee was a A3 version first, but I didn't get that. Melody- I did get Melody for A3 and a lot of the extras for it, and then Melody 2 for V4 I got all that stuff. And yes, there are furry skins for both of them. Problem is Melody 2 uses a parented head part rather than morphs for V4. So, no textures or head morphs for its V4 head without that add on head. It is the reason I rarely try using it, actually. I want everything about Melody/Melody2 *EXCEPT* the cartoony head. Meanwhile, it is a fixable thing with some play in an image editor slapping together head textures. Gah! ALSO: on ShareCG there are a couple furry adaptations for Gen3, Gen4 and even Genesis 1 and 2 Females. One of Aelins links takes ya to the DAZ Wikia, DO browse that, cause I found about FIFTY freebies through that I never saw before this morning. Yeah I been a busy one this morning! :o)

Sooner you'll be in a freebie war with TL :tearlaugh:

Wow! You sure love cats! I think you and I are alike there. I have 2 myself. The reason I say this here is because I have seen your comments concerning your cats, and your above post (quoted in this comment) shows that you have a collection of cat figure morphs and characters I am jealous of. LOLOL
That said, I have to ask if you have the Creature Creator kits for V4 and M4? Also do you have Ghastly's 182 morphs for Genesis? These morphs, among other I have in my collection, can be used to create some interesting animal style character shapes. They work in the Shaping Tab part of DAZ Studio, or in the Parameters Tab. Slider morphs for specified areas of the figure change the shape of that area in several ways.
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be baked grouper with all the trimmings and tater wedges hushpuppies too
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Thank for the startup! Have a great day!
-
Good morning
If you see somebody in the air, it's maybe not the Halloween Witch but me :blownaway:
-
Good Morning everyone! :jacko:
@ Aelin - nah, for me it is just once in a blue moon I go for the freebies. I hadn't planned on doing that, but that Wikia showed me a TON of things I'd never even seen till then. So that one had to happen! LOL!
@ Cleve - I do have the DAZ Creature Creator for Gen 4, all of it. Even the upgrades. Yesterday, I realized that the Genesis 2 Creature Creator HD had slipped OUT of my cart somehow, and didn't get purchased. I went back and cured that ailment pronto! I DO have the Genesis 2 Creature Creator HD also. AND yeah I am running a 64 bit rig, 64 bit OS, 64 bit Poser Pro 2014 *AND* the requisite 64 bit DSON for using the HD in Poser! Yuk yuk yuk! :D
And you bet, I do love my furry family members! The "baby" is pushing 10 years old now! Tattoo just hit 12 in June. On their Treat Food day I give them each a 2.5 oz tub of their fave moist food. Both their tails are stuck straight out and crooked in zig zag. A genuine CAT "I am HAPPY!" signal!
BOTH boys were given a clean bill of health their last visits a few months ago. Even Mogwai didn't show signs of his allergies. I'd taken him in cause I thought he may have broken his tail at the base, hopping down from the top of the old upright freezer in pantry. Nope. Inflamation of that last joint of spine before tail begins was clear, so he got a shot of steroids to help that out. It did. I arranged things so he could not get back up on top of the freezer, and he got much better quickly. Tattoo went in next, and the new doc insisted on putting him on the Hydrolized Protein dry food. But ONLY THAT food, anything else ruins the effort. He did improve for a bit, then back to normal for the last 2/3 of that $50 bag of catfood. He also didn't care for it that much. Matter of fact, they both want me to just give them their moist food only. No dry food. NOPE! Doc said at MOST they get moist food every other day and with dry food out and handy for them too. So I go 2 or 3 days between the tubs! They don't like that, but gotta live with it. I'm a mean ol cat daddy ain't I? ;o)
-
The baby here will have 15 years in January. The elder had 16 this month.
-
Congratulations to both your babies, Aelin!!!! :confet: :happydance: :hartz: :yippee: :mwah: :madfun: :awesome: :grenade: :dancingknight:
-
Hey, how is it that only ONE of my two cats caught FLEAS this year? They live together, groom each other, sleep together and own my lap together. They are really great together! But this year Mogwai got fleas, and he licked all the hair completely OFF the last two inches of his tail! Kinda like a bit of rats tail. So I give him the syrette (little squeeze tube) of goop medicine on neck/back of head and keep him still while it dried.
Fleas jumped ON after that, and fell off dead. Also, it kills the flea eggs and pupae. Wherever that treated cat goes, the fleas die off. Sterilized! They are said to live 10 days, and must reproduce in that time. With eggs sterile, no more fleas! This is that Bravecto for Cats stuff. No pill for the cats, yet.
BUT, only one of the two got fleas! Tattoo didn't. Weird! :lostme:
-
OOOOOOOOkay. Now back on air. Went to VA early yesterday and got an email from daughter that the power had gone out. Called provider and was told 'round 1600 the lights would be back on.
WRONG!!!!!!
Lights came on for a bit around 2000 but died soon after. Wasn't until some time in the wee hours of the morning that they returned for real.
Now trying to catch up on business from yesterday. First off,
:ty01: to one and all for suggestions. The texture I am looking for is actually for A3/V3 in her animal form using the Cap morphs. I have and used Melody but wanted this for my purely A3 kittygirls.
-
ShareCG Poser try Catgirl or Aiko cat in the search. I vaguelly remember a few textures for the littlefox and capsceses chara. check bunnygirl as well.
Good luck my friend.
Cheers
-
Well, we're all trying to help Hipshot. Here's another guess: base is the Kioki Capses morphs for A3 with the Capses furry morphs from http://www.capsces.com/cdifreebies/CDIKiokiFurry.zip (http://www.capsces.com/cdifreebies/CDIKiokiFurry.zip) with Redfern's additional stuff (Daio from Poserpros had a texture set). Info from https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/CatGirl_Kioki (https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/CatGirl_Kioki).
-
Hip was it for A3 Melody
-
I think I remember something if it wasn't the Fisher cat texture.
-
another thought...do you or are you able to link to an image somewhere of her wearing the texture...then someone might be able to guess closer... :lostme:
-
No, said text is strictly for A3/V3. I've apparently had this one for awhile as it was in my old external that died. Thought I might have had it old DVD but haven't yet found it. Its one of those good files by the likes of Oshikai. Only this one has two texts in it. A black and gray tabbie and a more tan/brown one.
-
:lostme: is it the one they used a real cat as the base and turned it into A3 Cause I remember that one.
-
Good morning
If you see somebody in the air, it's maybe not the Halloween Witch but me :blownaway:
So that was you then that flew across Florida and turned the entire day into a hot :rainy: :rowrow: adventure :ummm:
Never would have guessed :tearlaugh:
Seriously we had the weather alert radio in the shop go off twice yesterday due to "severe thunderstorms" headed our way in Orange county.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings and tater wedges

No rain coming with me, only wind :tearlaugh: It's still the case today, like it was all the night. Don't annoy me at all, except when I had to go up a hill :tearlaugh:
Forecast weather said rain for all the weekend, and including today. So far not a drop.
-
Give it time ... give it time
-
Good Morning,
The morning menu sounds great.
Hope all that is flying in the sky is in a airplane, it get cold on a broomstick or by umbrella at 40,000 feet in the air and it gets a tad hard to breath at that elevation. Breathable air usually ceilings at 10 to 11,000 feet but it is still very cold.
Those thunderstorm sound nice especially if there is rain with it. It snowed in the mountains here last week and tried to down in the valley but just got the ground a little wet, but that is life in the desert.
-
:lostme: is it the one they used a real cat as the base and turned it into A3 Cause I remember that one.
Could be Rad. I would have to see it to be sure.
-
Good Afternoon to all.
Been in here for a bit trying to catch up. Been a busy week for me.
But I live.....somewhat :tearlaugh:
Anyway....all caught up with the posts in here.....for a bit....
Thanks for the Phone calls Fafnir....enjoy the rest of your day my friend....
As for weather....it's a blustery, rainy, chilly Fall Day....and I love it.
As for freebies....I've got a few.... :java: :tearlaugh:
-
Had a Hell of a "blustery" day here. in other words, Katie, bar the door! It was blowing my little Baja all over the road. Has settled down somewhat now. So, I can concentrate on what I'm doing instead of listening to the wind blow like there's no tomorrow.
-
:lostme: I Think it was called Felis Sapiens by Daio. Does that ring any bells?
-
Yup Hipshot, we had the wind up here for two days first man! OH and when we get the Thunderstorm warnings here, we pay attention. See, they always come with tornadoes. Whether they touch down and where is a matter of great importance to us up here. There is a town about 60 miles South on 70 that was literally killed off from a tornado wiping the town out. People are moving in again, guess they didn't get the memo.
-
I am still looking through all the Aiko 3 stuff I have, Hipshot. I think the thing you are looking for might be Furette and Furraldo by Little Dragon from 2006. I got em around here somewhere. I tell ya though; I HATE that damnable "RTE" crap so much I may have just scrubbed some of that stuff just to get shed of that garbage. Bad enough we paid for it, then add that insult? SCREW EM! [SHIFT] [DELETE]
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir! Thanks for the coffee. I see the hunt continues.
-
Good morning
:lostme: I Think it was called Felis Sapiens by Daio. Does that ring any bells?
I found an image in the Rendo gallery, made by Daio justly
https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/m3-felis-sapiens/500273/
But it seems it was on a site short called "PP" (Poser Pro?).
McG, I don't think it was for Furette and Furado (http://littledragon.francemi.net/furrette_01.htm) that Hips is looking for.
Concerning RTE, I agree with you. I found 2 old freebies recently, and they ask for RTE. Ok, I have it, but the packs refuse to open even with code anyway :shrug:
-
When RTE won't open, I've found that the file that it's trying to open is not the right version. V4 is particularly notorious for that as there are so man versions of that figure. :insist:
-
Good Morning to all.....
I see where the East Coast is getting pounded again. Flooding and high winds. Thankfully my Brother and family are located in Northeast RI.
Anyway....all you folks who have weather woes...stay safe..
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....I'll need at least two pots of it today....Rough night....and I don't even drink :tearlaugh:
And now to see what is what....
Good Morning Aelin, Sir Knight, McG, Rad, and guests....
-
Good morning, TL. Rain and wind has stopped for the moment. Glad to hear your family is OK. Not that big a deal here.
Hipshot, how can we help? Do you want to see renders of what we're suggesting or is it already clear that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE03lYoVpFg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE03lYoVpFg)
-
When RTE won't open, I've found that the file that it's trying to open is not the right version. V4 is particularly notorious for that as there are so man versions of that figure. :insist:
This time, it's not for V4 but for the House Mouse. I even took it again in my product library on Daz, to put it again in my runtime, just to be sure. No luck, the RTE won't work. Oh, I keep them aside, in case one day they accept to work with me.
Only wind here again TL. We had few drops of rain in the earlier morning. I guess most of the rain we were supposed to have will stay in Cévennes and Var, in the south of France.
-
Glad to hear the weather is being good to both of you Sir Knight and Aelin. Looks to be a grand day here.
-
Hi guys, I just got up. Slept from 3:30am to 8:30am, and feel great but groggy. Sunshine woke me up, gee! Fafnir, thanks for breakfast man, that was GREAT! Now I'm loving the COFFEE! :java:
WHEN the RTE works, the files go to a set of temp folders to be re-zipped *without* no blasted RTE carp! I think I got all the Gen4 stuff fixed, but I see a few A3 items still have it. GRRRRR! I finally realized it is the author belief in the illusion of control that got that dirty ball rolling. It's a 3rd party protecting their butts from DAZ retribution is what that is about. Ridiculous!
-
Oh uh, we are now expecting SNOW by Tuesday. DOH! :OMFG: :overthefence: :nopanic;
-
Cloudy and windy a bit yesterday with a touch of mist was the best it got yesterday. Today lots of greyish clouds back lit with sun
Boring
-
Keep the snow in your area please Mc-G. Just because I already lugged the Snow Joe and shovels out....doesn't mean I'm ready for it LOLOL...
-
Not to worry Kianna will come to help you with that task
-
Good Morning,
Halloween the Gateway to Winter. Tomorrow is the great day and the rise of the Great Pumpkin. :jacko:
I wonder if it will snow this year in the valley? Who knows, but it dose snow from time to time out here.
-
I'll get some early trick or treaters. The girl next door is having a Halloween Party today and there will be about 15 kids there....They are having a party instead of going house to house...which is smart....
I made up 30 bags of candy two nights ago....JIC....Typically I get 10 kids at the most...so I make sure I buy candy that Lorna and I like :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
So I'm prepared for these kids....whoooohooooo
-
SO TL gets jabbed if he don't R U N ! fast enough?
-
Candy? Mmmm! I never buy it. I'd eat it. And cookies, pastries, etc. Yep, I be a FOODIE!
Though I do sometimes, rarely, get a order of Dominoes Molten Lava Crunch Cakes! THAT is whatcha do with FUDGE! :thumb_up: :java:
Oh those things are SOooo GOOOOD !!!!! Yup! :jacko:
-
We are changing of hour during thise night in France - again :sure:
I think this time I'll be kind of 1 hour closer of USA until you change the hour too.
-
Our time change is late this year.....November 7th........and as I say...what a PITA it is...
-
One would think after so many centuries of not using candles as a primary means of lighting we would drop the archaic abomination
Oops there I go again thinking logically
Halloween last year two kids and me having bought two bags of candy just in case. Well, bought two bags again so we shall see what happens this year. If it is a bust like last year it will wind up getting donated to the candy bowl at work :tearlaugh:
-
I do a similar thing, J, but have to wait at least two weeks before all the other peoples' (who bring their candy into the office) has been consumed. I don't think I could have phrased that more awkwardly. :ima-getcha:
-
:tearlaugh: :thud:
Yep I would have to agree
-
Okay, thanks for all the help guys, The Felis Sapiens is close, but not the correct color. And as I recall, it was a set for I believe M3/V3. Still checking about for the text.
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled chicken legs and wings on the grill with all the trimmings
-
Good morning, and Happy windy Halloween :singing2:
-
Hey, Good Morning Guys!!! The wind here has FINALLY dropped down to a more gentle, kinder breeze. Nice and sunny. Still checking about, and still good. Spent several hours out in garage with Connie cleaning and finding stuff that had been missing for a good bit. Seems my daughter has a habit of "cleaning". Cleaning where you gather up stuff and if its deemed not hers or not useful, hiding them in old shopping bags and what not and then tossing them in the garage!
Found a credit card that had been missing, as well as insurance papers . . . you name it, it was out there. Plus a lot of things that were "hidden" that I will not mention.
Planning to return out there in order to continue the "Indiana Jones" and "Lara Croft" routine. Meanwhile, Fafnir's coffee and chow sure sounds good.
-
The movie especially for Halloween
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
A Tim Burton Film w/Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci
Yes that Christina Ricci ... nudge, nudge, wink, wink
-
Oh this is good ... very good
-
Is he dead?
That is the problem, "he was dead to begin with"
-
Now that was a Halloween movie
-
:lostme:
Halloween: Evil Dies Tonight.. Sort Of.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMcMNKRuFds
-
Fascinating. Christina Ricci . . . yum!!!!!
-
You got that absumalootly RIGHT there HipShot! She's wunnerful! :D
Sir Knight, your awkward word made me think of :wolvie: :seeyou:
Good Morning this fine crisp Monday Morning everyone! It is November 1st, and our first day in the THIRTIES! (36°F)
:sno:
-
J it's kinda hard to believe that Sleepy Hollow was released 22 years ago! Oh Darn! I just realized I got grandkids approaching their thirties now! GAAAH!
:ima-getcha:

Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled pork chops with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good morning
I looked Sleepy Hollow few months ago, alas only in French version - a VHS. Still love that movie
-
Hiya Fafnir! Thanks for a big steaming mug of that wonderful COFFEE !!! :java: :coffeemaker: :java: (ahhh! that's sooooo gooood!)
-
Oh goodness, Aelin! You found a usable VHS copy of Sleepy Hollow!!?? That is impressive!
-
Oh goodness, Aelin! You found a usable VHS copy of Sleepy Hollow!!?? That is impressive!
Not really impressive, it's a 20 years old VHS which is at home since it was found in a shop. The VHS reader is still working, even if it wasn't put online the last 2 or 3 years.
Also still have The Mummy from 90's, but the VHS isn't perfectly preserved alas.
-
I do a similar thing, J, but have to wait at least two weeks before all the other peoples' (who bring their candy into the office) has been consumed. I don't think I could have phrased that more awkwardly. :ima-getcha:
LOL....I call it a "Two Reader"....Gotta go over it twice before you comment :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all......
Hope you all got many Trick or Treaters. I'm so glad the kids next door and their friends came over Saturday to grab some bags of candy....because they were the only ones who I got for Trick or Treaters.
Now I'm stuck with 23 bags of candy we made up for the trick or treaters....Yes....I make up little bags for them....always have. Worked great when I lived in Albany and had over 60 Trick or Treaters come by. LOL....
And I shouldn't use the word "Stuck" since the candy I buy is the candy that Lorna and I like....though this might not be a good thing when we visit our Doctors in the coming weeks LOLOL....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.......Need it today...Woke up feeling like I had a wrestling match with Gorilla Monsoon.
-
:jacko: We got 30 kids this year! o.o Still have bags of candy! :lostme:
-
Was it really Halloween yesterday? Didn't have a single little bugger come by. Guess they all went on properly guided tours elsewhere.
-
didn't have any kids trick or treating last night must'a gone to free candy drive thru
-
Last Halloween I got a handful of kids even though they were told not to go door to door. This year the word was it was OK to go around the neighborhood so I bought several bags of four different bite size pieces. If I gave 8 pieces to each kid I would make 20 kids smile. No one showed up and now I have 160 bite size pieces of candy. I blame the powers to be, if they told the kids not to trick or treat I would have been out of candy within an hour or two tops.
I will be sick through most of this month and with luck out of candy in time for Thanks Giving.
-
Which is why I always buy the candies I like....and I make them last a LONG TIME.....not because I'm frugal...but because if I eat to many at once.....all of my numbers will skyrocket and I'd have to deal with my Doctor, Olivia, once again.... :thud:
-
Well, this year I did all right for the kids coming by, as not only was I outside but my friend across the street who watches my place when needed and the mother and daughter (both with medical issue) were all out and managed to steer over quite a large number of the little buggers.
I had bought two bags of candy and did a half and half mix of them in one of the larger mixing bowls and had more then enough to fill them a second time, mind you they did manage to just about empty the first mix ... so calling that a win although as you can tell there will be candy for a while in these parts unless I take them into work.
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready along with left over candy the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be king crab legs with bacon wrapped scallops and all the trimmings with plenty melted butter for dipping
-
Good morning
-
Good morning all. Woke up to cloudy conditions, but only a 30 per cent chance of rain. Tomorrow is supposed to be better, but we shall see.
Still don't believe what the weather weenies have to say.
Still getting caught up with restocking my runtime. Only a couple more things and I am good to go. Still looking for that V3 character/text. I think I may have some older DVD/CDs out in garage, but the excavating is proceeding slowly.
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Tis a chilly windy morning so I'll probably end up emptying the pot.
Right now it's 33 degrees out with high winds...which brings the temp down to ..... "DAMN CHILLY"
Got tons of things to get done today so I'll be in and out of here most of the day.....
And now...to finish my tough....
-
I got outta bed at 8am today because I was shivering! It was 35F and I should have been warm, wrapped in my sheet and quilt. I hear that goes with old age too. Grrr! Ok rummaged around and found a wool comforter. That will work!
Well they did take snow out of our forecast, but stuck 32°F in its place!
I'm too OLD to shiver! My bones wiggle, my fat jiggles, gaaahh!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Hi, can I please get a gallon or so of hot tea, and a large plate of hot food? Its got cold here :shiv:
-
I am drooling now, Fafnir. Never tasted "Prime Rib" before. I always ordered a T Bone or a Fillet Mignon, like an idiot. Well that was good but I hear from many Prime Rib is better. Tell the girls THANKS! for the Biscuits & Bacon, and thanks for the coffee man!
-
Hey Dreamer, ain't is supposed to be warm now down your way?
-
coming right up Dreamer fixes a plate of hot prime rib and hands a gallon of hot tea and a bottle or warm rum to add to the tea
-
Good morning
-
Hoi Aelin, Faf, Dream,Thel, Hip, and Mcgrumpy, 8 )
I'm with you on the cold brother, might be the last hurrah of the ice age before the thermostat is turned back up.
See ya in the funny papers.
Cheers
-
Arrrrr! It also helps Wizzard if I put me feet under the covers. ;)
-
Or if you have a cat on your feet :winks:
-
Or a couple of nice warm puppies.
-
Hey Dreamer, ain't is supposed to be warm now down your way?
Yes it is meant to be warming up here, why I am not impressed with it getting cold all of a sudden
-
coming right up Dreamer fixes a plate of hot prime rib and hands a gallon of hot tea and a bottle or warm rum to add to the tea
Thanks, hot food and drink is all ways good

Hi Wiz, got so fed up with being cold last night I went to bed early so I could pull a few blankets right up over my head. Only really warmed up when the cat came and curled up at my back

Hello,
Looks like another day at the Attic. Look like for us in the US time will go back this Sunday, so remember to set your clock on the 6th so you can sleep in on the 7th. Remember Fall back, Spring Forward. Somehow I wish they would set is in the middle and we wouldn't fiddle with the clock. I think the livestock would appreciate that, especially the milking cows and everyone else that is used to a routine.

Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow roasted pork roast with all the fixings and tater wedges

Speaking of setting clocks back. Seems a lot of folk around here woke up late on Monday morning. Three national carriers had their systems update to match Aelin despite the fact we change when you do. Not last Sunday. Nice header by the way.
-
Mornin' Fafnir. I'll take a coffee and Creek while I wait for my lift to the grocery.
-
Good morning
-
Good Morning,
Another beautiful day at the attic! Now what did I do with that special jacket?
-
What? You can't find yours M-C?
Still got mine as my Connie washes and cleans - not to mention keeping in good repair - regularly. Not sure if that's for my good or hers???????
-

:OMFG: :panic: :tearlaugh: :shock: :java:
-
When I saw the temps coming down to the low 40's I got mine out of the closet. Both of them! Plus, I got extra COFFEE! :woohoo:
-
Good MORNING all Ye Denizens of The ATTIC! RRRrrrrrrrr! 'Tis LOVELY indeed to wake up, and know you are ALIVE! Ok now where are them pain meds... ;o) Just kidding! :happydance:
-
Good morning...and knew I shouldn't have been doing file clean up when half awake...just deleted all my custom builds ..not sure how to try and retrieve .
-
Well, now hurrah for me .... maybe ... tis doing the sprinkle thing outside on the pavement this morn
It did look very gloomy yesterday as in all day but naught came of it. This morning, parking lot is completely soaked and it is still doing the sprinkle, sprinkle little rain drop how I wonder what you are.
I could twist that into something political I am certain however this is not the thread for my rhetoric
Wonder how many folks are going to be able to drive and slick roads this morning :sigh:
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of spirits to ward off the gloom and cold day the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later there will be fried pork chops with all the trimmings tater wedges too
-
overcast rain dark clouds wind from the nor'east gonna be a storm soon hope you have a safe day J
-
Mornin Nosh i hope your files are still in the recycle bin and i hope you can recover them
-
Good morning
Good morning...and knew I shouldn't have been doing file clean up when half awake...just deleted all my custom builds ..not sure how to try and retrieve .
I'm sorry to read that Noshoba. Didn't you put them at least partially done on an external or a flash drive? Or even keep a scene where you worked them?
J, it started to rain a lot passed 11AM here. And the temperatures obviously were more cold at that hour than erlier this morning. I suspect melt snow in place of only drops of rain.
-
Good Morning,
Looks like it is TGIF day the gateway to the weekend.
-
This might help in recovering your files there is a lot on YouTube about this in different OS versions.

Working on it, got to work and only heard call out on four auto accidents, one vehicle fire, one stabbing and one apartment on the way in.
:thud:
Got to work and it was still sprinkling, now at noon it is real rain got a second on call during business hours, had to break out the :rowrow: to get there and sort that out.
-
Sadly all of my Daz files are on externals so now poof. So don't go to recycle bin. I suspect when I logged out it also cleared out what ever temp location it might have been in. Fortunately, as I told knight before I do still have my baseline shapes that work from. The males and faces are what will need to be redialed. Also will let me fix an error I made in not saving out the heads and bodies separately.
And yes raining cats and balls here lol
-
Oh yeah I also didn't lose my custom skins.. those were saved elsewhere.
-
Well if you need some of your Daz zips they should still be in your account at Daz, unless someone got trigger happy there too like my mil dragon.
-
Don't I wish it was that simple lol. I have a WIP file in Daz itself ..one of the subfolders that had all my custom shapes is what I deleted.
-
Total. Bummer. Sorry to hear that Man. Done that and even worse my self. Not so much fun. I stil haven't rebuilt all my Centaurs, from that 1 TB spinner HD just simply giving it all up, everything on it vanished, and the drive was still running fine. THAT is when I bought my first SSD. No Moving Parts. That drive, now over 7 years old, is still trucking right along. I use it for storage, and it checks out as a happy SSD still. :o) Even if one should croak, no problem. I made sure to back stuff up, in triplicate!
-
Mprmim' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ ribs with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
raining and cooler here this morning windy too
-
Morning Fafnir....rebuild in progress lol
-
Same boat here.. need it to. Suspect downtown already underwater lol
-
We/re doing good. One degree above freezing and the snow kept north of the city. Good way to start the day. Well, good weather and a cup of Creek; I mean coffee.
I;ve spinner drives around here but as they are all IDE I have to keep an old Core2Duo machine around to read them. It has A and B drives as well. Pack rat. Don't throw any old computer storage out. There is still a ZIP drive and a few tapes on the shelf beside me.
-
Seems like it's a season for 3D disasters.
Noshoba, I'm so sorry to hear it. If you don't write anything to the drive after erasure, there are utilities that can be used to locate the file's blocks and relink them. It's painful work. It sounds as though you've already started rebuilding them. It will likely be less work.
Below freezing each morning here although no snow in the area yet.
PDG, I have 8" floppys and the drive(s) to read them as well as DECtapes and IBM 729-written mag tapes. I'm sure they'll come back. And I'll be ready.
I didn't keep any of the Monrobot Mark XI paper tapes but I do have images (as well as a simulator.) Yes, Monrobot Mark XI is a real thing :whattodo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monrobot_XI#/media/File:Monrobot_Mark_XI.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monrobot_XI#/media/File:Monrobot_Mark_XI.jpg)
-
It is ok...like I said doesn't hurt as bad as it could have. I do work from custom baseline shapes kind of like when build add on characters for Mika or Sakura.. so don't have to rebuild those.
-
Glad to hear that.

Good Morning to all.....
Had a busy couple of days so no time for the net. Had to go to Madison yesterday and drop off the HRV since they had a recall on the fuel pumps because they were defective. Could explode and set fire to the vehicle. Now, here's the kicker. I brought the vehicle in for another defect about 1 year after having the vehicle...they were suppose to fix the computer glitch AND the Fuel Pump Motor....because both could be dangerous....but oooops.....we can't get the fuel pump motors..."So Be Careful" :thud: But the computer glitch was fixed....
I also had to stay off the puter for bit....the eyes were acting up....they feel much better today....
Anyway...lets get things started....
Sorry about your missing files Noshoba.
And yup Mc-G....my little pocket size 1TB SSD has been marvelous thus far...But as many know....I never keep my stuff just on one backup device.
Now where's my :java:.....Ahhhhhhh
Time to get things rolling
-
Good morning
Maybe you should put that link in the Ancient Wonders (http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?action=forum#c30) too ?

Wow....I'll have to check that out....I'm a fan of anything to do with the Mayan time period and culture...Thanks Sir Knight....

Good Morning,
Well tonight is the great night to set the clocks back for standard time, all those lucky people in Arizona don't have to do this. But rest of us in the US and Canada do and elsewhere that I don't know about have too.
-
Good morning

I've been trying to control myself until after DA's first server move. This afternoon, I believe.
-
And ... in spite of the comment, done. :cool:
-
very interesting Sir Knight thanks and hope you are doing well
-
Thank you, Fafnir. I am. I hope things with you are also good.
-
Good afternoon guys. Got up this AM to some decent temps . . . for once. Had to make three trips to Temple this week. Back to back. I let the vamps have a go . . . took even more as I did not want to come back next day for a repeat of getting stuck! . . . then EKG for the ol' ticker. Then it was off to the cardiologist. Thankfully for a clean bill of health.
It was that time of year.
Slept in while the opp presented itself and now back on puter. Got nicely - but not entirely - caught up thanks to Mary and Summoner. A bit more housekeeping and will be ready to rock and roll once again. That means its time *channels in Monty Python theme* to head over to Fafnirs for some AM fortification, as well as a bit of chow.
-
Sounds like the start of a good day for you HS.....You live....and the coffee is still hot.....Wooohooo
-
Seriously completely covered in grey clouds is the weather for the day. To make it even more interesting it is most certainly cooler (62° currently) and with wind.
How cute as in not for me.
What I found funny was yesterday while driving home in the rain ... saw on two occasions people walking with their umbrellas, not unusual right .. well, the disturbing part in my eye is that even though they were walking in the rain under an umbrella, they still had the damnable phone in their hand and paying more attention to it then their surroundings. :sigh:
I swear that damn thing is not a "smart phone" as it dumbs down all who come under its influence.
Tis more of a "cell phone" as it has put folks into a (prison) cell of their own making.
:thud:

Iremember paper tapes we had them for our Intertype machine when we wanted to make lead type for printing. It would do the typing on the machine for us from the paper tape which was mail to us from either the main office or customer. That was close to 50 years ago back in the early 1970s. Soon after that the offset press was phasing them out along with the platen presses and the line camera in came, with typesetting machine that printed from negitives to positive and paste up to shoot on the line camera and then to burn the plate and now it all or mostly is replace by the computer to the press or printer.
-
All the times advancement in technology has put me out of a job I could count on both hands, however I never worried about that or felt bad. I was alway looking for honest work when this happened, instead of getting unemployment, I just didn't want to wait in a very long lines.
-
oops down to 55° now
I do understand that to some of you folks up North that this would be a heat wave .. however this is not my definition of heat :tearlaugh:
-
I know I am North of you I would call my weather mild. Here we are experiencing lows in the mid 50s and highs in the mid 80s right now. Usually it is about 10 degrees cooler this time of year. :thank3:
-
well after about 8 this morning we had sunshine and partly cloudy sky's and was reasonably warm {tee shirt and shorts} so turned out to be a nice day got limbs picked up and chain link fence took down and hauled to road so yea was a good day
-
Son, girlfriend and their kittens have returned to western PA. House seems emptier. :insist:
Glad you've had a successful day, Fafnir. It sounds productive.
J, it was up to 55° here. :Hi5:
-
No sunshine this day naught but clouds, complete, thick and grey. Light winds and temps that started in the 60's and now are in the 50's
Could be worse I guess
-
could be in the 30s with 50 knots of breeze and raining hard at night and 10 foot seas
-
Ooohhhh I know some sort of big weather change is under way. The barometer is staying very close to 30.1 inches of mercury these last few days. But, normal is 20 to 29 'ish inches. I think this and the temps in the 50's is why my bones are all aching on me. Tonight might be a good one to take one benadryl and just sleep a long time. Nah, I am sleepy enough already. So it is just time to lay back down and snooze again!
Sir Knight, THAT bit on the MAYA ruins was so timely. It is on the Science and Discovery channels too, BUT those shows did not tie the Maya in so solid to the Olmec as your article does. And my personal thought on that is the Olmec did not die out. They kinda became the Maya! :D
And isn't that LIDAR something! I love what it does clearing out the vegetation so the landscape is clear. Ah, and Oak Island's Rick and Marty Lagina are now using LIDAR as well as some xray device identifying materials. More accurate, more versatile and less destructive than a mass spectrometer.
Pretty soon we won't need MagneticAnomalyDetection gear to detect ferrous metals against the gravity well. AND it will detect all kinds of metals, not just ferrous!
-
OH and we now have LIDAR units small enough to send up on fairly small 4 rotor drones!
-
Well, Fafnir, to a 327' High Endurance Cutter, 10 foot seas is just great for sleeping. 30 foot seas is a different matter. Totally.
-
Well, as we all know I be a sissy when it gets cold, and as height of the waves in open sea .... no thank you period ....
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be a thick homemade beef stew with all the trimmings and cornbread for dipping
-
@ McG aint been on a ship that big but seen some bad waves that would be pretty close to 30 feet and winds above 50 knots
-
stay warm J
-
Good morning
-
I do my best at staying warm and do succeed so there is that and "Good morning" to the rest of the denizens, inmates, residents, and lurkers in the Attic
-
Survived the church ladies and did get the females rebuilt while the winds and rain tried to send everything airborne hee like Dorothy and Toto.
-
I do my best at staying warm and do succeed so there is that and "Good morning" to the rest of the denizens, inmates, residents, and lurkers in the Attic

Me too!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Tater wedges are good. Damn time change isn't. 5am. Normally I'm up and about by now and it appears I am. Unfortunately I've been up since 3:30 according to the clocks and I have no idea why that should be the case so I blame it on the time change. Good of an excuse as any.
-
Not certain what happened here but for the first time in a long while I got a solid seven hours of sleep, no waking up multiple times or tossing and turning trying to find that spot. Not even going to believe that the time change is the cause of that event.
Still in the mid 50's outside, at this hour. Still in the mid 70's inside since as mentioned I am a cold blooded person.
Feels like the time between getting up and having to start getting ready got shorter though .. so not a fan of that ... :tearlaugh:
-
Morning.. yep blame the time change...annoying to wake up and see 230 AM lol. Off to hang 7 stories in air lol.
-
Good morning
-
Noshoba, I sure don't miss THAT part of working! GAH!
Pssst Mary! Do ya recall the "GAH!" gray blob emojie? bigger one. Looked like GAH! but wasn't its name. I been trying to find that one since I noticed it went missing about a year ago!
-
Mornin' coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good morning
-
Morning.. Not that bad McG.. Now dealing with the future jailbird is another story. Now that my truck is finally back on the road...we shall see what happens today...
-
Good morning all. And a :vet2: to all that it pertains to. Yummie time soon!!! Golden Corral is having their yearly feast for all us vets in the area, and me and Connie will be there with our napkins nicely tucked in and ready to tuck into the food!
For once, woke up to a quiet morning. Aliene is currently trying out a new job. Problem: 0500 go to work time. Solution: Boss lives nearby and drives her to and from work.
:happydance: :thumb_up: :woohoo: :Hi5:
Didn't even make enough noise to wake us up when she departed this AM. Sweet. Now getting ready to take Connie to her VA appointment in Temple. Will be back on the 'puter later today. Meanwhile, think I'll traipse over to Fafnir's for coffee and some brekkie. Then its off to the races.
-
Good Morning to all.....
With the wonderful temps and weather we had Sunday and Monday....Lorna and I decided it was a great time to take down all of the Halloween Decorations and put up some of our Autumn decorations. Then I got started on the leaves and the flower beds. Unfortunately still have one tree in the neighbors yard that is shedding it leaves...and yes...the winds have blown them into my yard. But not as many as I had before.
My body is yelling at me today....Oh yes...did I mentioned I mowed the yard also...one last time for the year.
Anyway, Thanks for the :java: Fafnir and the check in phone call....And now to see what is what....and who is who.....where is why....with :java: in hand
-
Great news on the Daughters new job HS.....and most importantly....the Boss that gives her a ride at that hour of the morning. Many a time I spent the early morning hours taking the daughter to work...
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good coldy morning
-
A little chilly but will warm up fast. Morning..
-
Good Morning,
We still have mild weather here, lows in the mid 50s and highs in the mid 70s F. The breakfast and dinner menu sound great today Fafnir.
-
Good morrow to thee and thine. tis a harlequine day. Half sunny and bright, half rainy clouds. Gotta love weather, always keeping you on your toes. 8 )
Health and happiness to all.
Cheers
-
Cool and clear to start with now cloudy enough to make you wonder where or when the rain is going to come down.
-
Quiet day so far. Those goobers at Aliene's new job must be playing roulette with her hours. Had to pick her up today as she was asked to work a double and boss was unavailable for transport. Oh well, thought it was too good to last.
In any case, best wishes to friend theschell. You got a good chance to steamroller the big C. Go for it compadre.

Aelin, I just saw a different one when I saved that one. The board says it is :yikes2: same as yours. Is edged in white. And apparently non functional here! Oh well, I got the one I was looking for. :o) :yeow: Thanks for your helping too, Aelin!

I suspect the code for the emo was perhaps changed. It happened before. Maybe the dustbunnies are the guilty ones.
On another topic, concerning the forum too. I dreamt the last night that J told to us in fact Kianna was a "he" at the beginning. And he told that so seriously :tearlaugh:

DOH! GAAAH! :yeow:

Good Afternoon to all......
A short visit to verify that I live....but man oh man what a wild and wicked day today. If I had any hair on my head it would have been blown off by now. Today garbage day and those who didn't take the barrels back into their yards will find them down the street...in a pile :thud:
And of course the leaves are back in the yard....but at least this time it's not a ton of them since most went down the street with the barrels :tearlaugh:
But just thought I'd stop in for a moment and see what is what and then get back to our files.....such a joy....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....I owe you a call....
Hi Aelin
AND :vet-day: :vet1: :vet2: :vetribbon: to all that Served.....

Mornin' Sir Knight good to see you hope the weather is not to cold and you are doing well
-
It's about 10 degrees below freezing this morning. :OMFG: Doing well here. I hope you and yours are also.
-
we are doing well cooled off a little here
-
parkdalegardener, how are your plants faring? Did you manage to save any of them from the great freeze?
-
Good morning! :happydance:
Oh my goodness methinks the meds that thou art taking are way to strong for thee ... Kianna is and always has been a full grown beautiful lady ... always has been
Fortunately, I don't take meds. Otherwise, I can't imagine what could be a such topic in a nightmare :panic:

Good to see that the Attic is back in action. Even better to see that everyone is still here. :happydance: . On another note, I have since gotten my "defunct" external to cooperate once again. Plugged it into a USB hub that I had set up and it came back on line! How's that for some good Karma? Have since been transferring data over to DVDs so that I will still have access to it all. That, and I finally found those textures I was searching for. The ones from Daio for V3. Thanks guys for all your help. In any case, am now happily at work on new figures. As with J my muse decided to take a sabbatical for a good bit, but has since sneaked back in the door.
Have a :thank3: all.
-
Wonderful news, Hipshot. A great outcome. Glad you see that you've returned.
-
:awesome: :happydance: Thank you Mary for a smooth and flawless move.
-
Phew.....I was holding my breath for a bit. If anyone notices anything out of the ordinary....Let us know as soon as possible.
And yes...Mary did a wonderful job....and if this works well....I'll invest in another year or two of Attic Fun.....Though Mary DID give me a heart attack at first.....LOLOL
And I'll leave it at that....
Good Afternoon to you all.....and I see Fafnir has the coffee on already.....I'll take a pot or two please....
Good news on you "defunct" external "undefuncting" HS.... That is always a good thing.
Sir Knight....sorry about sending you our cold weather. We've had it in the teens for 5 days straight...with the highs getting up to a balmy 31 degrees during the day...Today is much better...40 degrees....and tomorrow even warmer...but on Thanksgiving day...back to the Artic we go.
Keep cheering DLL...I think it helps the site feel wanted....
And now to do some exploring....with :java: in hand....
-
We also want to say "Thank You" to those that donated to the cause.....It was very much appreciated.....
-
Ok back amongst the land of the living. No sabbatical from art for me lol.
-
It's a good feeling to be back amongst friends.... :woohoo:
-
To that thought, I will add a huge amen!!! :mwah:
-
you were all missed by me and the girls glad we are back i am
-
Let's hope the darn thing continues to work right and IF it needs to act up it remains an easy fix.
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and are prepping the turkey and such for tomorrow for later on there will be roasted ham with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good morning

You forgot to knock on wood...... :thud:

Knock directly on gremlins is even better :ifonly:

Got another one of those "Timed Out SQL Messages but it did post what I put up...
After I got the "SQL Timed Out" message, I refreshed the page and check the coffee shop...and what I posted was there.
Let's see what this one does LOL
-
Worked as it should that time....No message...
-
Well today it's slow for you, when it's really better for me (only 1 slow time for a reply). :happydance:
-
That's all I got so far.....but we are a "Work In Progress" so I'm fine with it LOLOL
-
Greeting everyone. Couldn't respond earlier after Fafnir sent his most welcome morning message. Seems OK for the moment.
-

Yup....I got a call from Fafnir right away LOL.....but I think we'll be going through a few of these on and off moments while things are being tested out. But this migration is 110% better then last time :thud:
-
yea it's working for now!!!!!!!
-
Good Morning,
Hope your transfer is going well. It seem to be working well on this end.
-
I hope it keeps working well on ALL ends LOLOL
-
Seems to be fine over here too, sometimes a little slow but no error messages so far
-
Yup...still processing but glad to see we are workable .... and it was quick......and we are able to post.... I'll add a WOOOOHOOOOO to that.... :happydance:
-
Seems to be doing good. A bit of a delay on my end when posting, but nothing too disastrous. Am now working on projects that had to be put aside while took care of some personal business. Should have something in a few days or so. :ifonly:
-
Yup..every now and then it slows down....but of late...It's been going pretty good...
-
Woohoo! Good Morning - This afternoon, all ye Attic denizens! Great to see the neighborhoods speakeasy back again. Sure missed it!

Welcome Home my friend.....

Love being home! :oD
Did we lose The Pet Shop? I tried to open it and got white paged again!

Oh Fafnir, I sure missed your COFFEE :java: man!

There is nothing outside any more this year. Winter has arrived.
-
Hurrah. Back again. Thought I must have imagined my last visit the other morn. Here one second and gone the next. Kinda like a lot of my musings. Too much garden greenery maybe.
Sir Knight, I have a small two stage setup to keep my specific strains going over the winter. Couple of garment bags with timers and cold LED light allows me to just hang it from the rack in the closet. I have a small amount of seed I propagated as well that I will be starting in about 8 weeks from now for sexing and balcony placement by the time it's warm enough to return outside.
Seems strange. You folk are just about to have Thanksgiving and Christmas is only a month away; yet here I am thinking about how short a time I have before I have to start seed for spring. I worry about my priorities some days.
Enjoy your holiday tomorrow if I don't get in to wish it then. :thanks1:
-
Still going strong in here PDG.....and yup....I have the Grandson and his wife to be (Second Wife) and my Great Granddaughter coming over. They say they will be here early in the morn...his early in morn is a couple of minutes before noon LOLOL.....but that just gives me more time to cook...
-
Have a great Thanksgiving Day to all that celebrate it.....I've got some pies to make tonight, but the Turkey is ready for the oven tomorrow morning.....
One thing I couldn't find this year was Pumpkin Pies....None of the stores had any....and I tried them all. Oh well....I'm always full on Thanksgiving Day anyway...but I do love it the day after....
ENJOY YOUR DAY FOLKS....I'll be in here LATE if at all tomorrow.
-
There is nothing outside any more this year. Winter has arrived.
Last we left our intrepid hero, the boiler had failed and it was cold. I was concerned that some of the (inside) plants may have also suffered. I tend to use fewer words than are necessary to ask my questions.
-
:whatthe: :soapy: :rat-atat: the blower motor for the heater decided to give up the ghost last night.
-
Brrrrr. Mine had failed during the summer. Must be a thing.
-
Summer time I can deal with the greatest of ease, what passes for cold here in Florida especially considering I am a sissy (cold blooded to be precise) when temps drop is another thing ... and the current prediction is that it will be cold during Thanksgiving ... :thud:
-
Its going to be a lovely sticky night here, we had some heavy rain late afternoon/evening and the cloud cover has hung about so we are being slowly steamed
-
Happy Thanksgiving to all it applies today. Vegging and working on freebie(s) Dreamer got a peak..lol
-
Mornin wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving it is kinda cool here not to bad Coffee cocoa and tea are ready along with plenty of spirits for the chill the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be turkey with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
I'll grab a quick coffee and a shot of warmth to go in it. I've a Little Feat song running through my head. Not really weather related but the title belies that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpp11sMXgcA. Sir Knight i hit my local Canadian Tire for a 4 seasons climate control device in order to keep the blood from turning into sludge.
-
A good way to start the day! "Don't be cold." :thumb_up:
And ... whew. Glad to hear it.
Good morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the :java:. Below 30 this morning. Deer and foxes seem not to mind. They're wandering in my yard.
Noshoba, are you going to show us, too? Vegging that early must mean you're onto something.

IT was supposed to be even cooler here in the Texas Panhandle this morning than it is. 33°F now but they warned of 30°F. It is partly cloudy, sunshine peeking through all around, and just lovely out there! I hear my sis and BiL doing pots and pans and oven already this morning. He is bringing me a plate later, which I will just adore whilst savoring every morsel on it. They are both better cooks than me. Plus there are a couple pies, some candied yams, and the normal bird/dressing/cranberry sauce and gravy stuff. Yummy! :thank3: :thanks1: Promising to be a very nice Thanksgiving Day over here y'all!
And thanks for that :java: Fafnir!
-
Good Morning,
Happy Thanksgiving! We have a mild day out here the low was 41 F and we are looking for a high of 64 F. Sure beats summer where we have triple digit temperatures out here like some of our highs of 116 degrees F. Hope everyone has a Great Day.
-
Well, now seems as if R'osity is having a Thanksgiving sale because I got the email saying something was on sale in my wish list ... more to the point everything in my wish list is on sale at 50% off
Seems like everything is on sale, not bad if you have a few extra coins that you can part with.
-
J thanks for that HU man, my wishlist is also half off! WooHoo! :happydance:
-
Already raiding the cookie jar in that department lol. Just wish I had not had to go out ... Drunks are getting an early start. Just watched one merrily make a left turn right into a light pole and not another car in sight.

Brilliant.
-
Definitely a good reason to not go out if one can get away with it.
Also a good reason to not turn on the public safety portable, the calls coming in yesterday were bad enough, "marine rescue, structural building fire, multiple overdoses and auto accidents with injuries and or entrapment", do not even want to contemplate the ones for today ... oh that is right I start on call tomorrow ... go me
-
Drearmer: :hug2:. Sounds like you're getting the full seasonal treatment.
Yep we are, was lucky by the time I went to bed it was cool enough I actually wanted a blanket not just the sheet so was able to sleep ok.
:thanks1: Every one on that side of the pond

And they wonder why Charleston has had the highest insurance rates for 15 plus straight years . You would figure with the Darwin Games they play on the gene pool would improve.

Indeed one would have thought that the gene pool would have improved by now, especially with all of the active "culling" that goes on daily and in all locals.
-
Gee. Looking at it that way it's terrible out there. I haven't been behind the wheel in months. Just haven't. Walmart delivers yaknow! ;)
Just finished a big Thanksgiving Dinner plate. Delicious! I normally have white meat, but BiL brought me a huge drumstick, so plowed right into that juicy tender leg with no complaints. Excellent flavor! Now I am busy washing my face. Feeling like a well fed cat! :yippee:
Now I think it's time for coffee and a nap. G'nite folks, Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
-
Part one is complete, steamed asparagus and artichoke heart .... getting the baked sweet potato up to speed then the main event my "Pineapple Hoisin Cornish hen" :thumb_up:
-
That all sounds tasty! Happy Thanksgiving J! :happydance: :thanks1:
-
One of my favs. Love Cornish hens. Been a very long time since I had one
-
Being single and with no one that comes over here a Cornish hen is the perfect size for a special meal. Tasty and no leftovers :woohoo:
-
Yummie all around no matter how you slice it. Had dinner out as everybody had things to do and very little time in which to do it. Still came out good.
:thank3: all
Now contemplating crawling back into bed.
-
Agreed. Needed a break from the pixels.
-
Crawl back in bed. Check! Put on a good exciting SF movie. Check! I dunno how far in the movie played even. I woke up 9 hrs later though! LOL!
-
Thanksgiving 2021 was IS a very very nice one. No fights, no issues kicking in of doors, raising sand. Just something wonderful. PEACE! Love it!
OH and great food too! Didn't even make it to dessert! Ah I kinda count the buttered yams on the plate as a sort-of dessert I guess. Hadn't had hot buttered baked yams in a long time. They were sure worth saving back for last, and have them with my coffee! There was that huge drumstick too. I chuckled when I saw that thing. My BiL grinned big at me too, said he had the other one. REAL mashed potatoes! With chunks from the masher! Yep, chives, garlic, gravy, delicious. I promise y'all that being fiercely diabetic I do NOT eat like this more than maybe two meals PER YEAR. And, my glucose was 174 when I woke up. That is pretty good! Now back to the regular scheduled program of Life my friends!
Hey, y'all got a pleased, smiling hairy old man easing through the dusty crannies in the Attic now. So, how was, IS, your Thanksgiving? PDG does Canada celebrate a similar holiday? If so, y'all have a most happy one! If not, have a most happy one anyway!
-
Mornin to you all Coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of warming spirits to add the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and steaks on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Mornin' folks.
Yeah McG; we have Thanksgiving. It's in October.
Jherrith, I;ve a Cornish Hen in the freezer for Xmass. Since the wife passed I see no reason to purchase a turkey at any time. A turkey breast cost almost double what a hen costs and being of Scottish descent I'm not a fan of extra expense. I'll save all the pennies I can since I'm too old to earn them any more.
Fafnir I was hoping for leftovers. A fine hot turkey sandwich with dressing/stuffing and gravy. Scallops are even better however.
Sir Knight; I laundered the livingroom drapes yesterday and replaced them with the heavy winter panels. It's warming up in here now. Heat has been cranked for a month and it's only 23 (73f) in here. Nothing to complain about in and of itself, but with gaps in the windows and doors (patio and hallway) there is always a huge wind whistling around in here. A cold wind.
Now, it's off to delete all the Black Friday junk mail that will be flooding my inbox.
-
We've been getting Black Friday junk mail all month. Yuck.
PDG - glad y'all have Thanksgiving, no matter when it is!
-
Bacon Wrapped Scallops... I wanna eat over at Fafnirs today !!!!! :happydance:
-
Good morning
-
Morning...indeed my favorite seafood. Off to someplace they can't even ship sunlight too..lol.
-
makes plate of hot leftovers with all the goodies and passes to PDG along with a steaming mug of coffee and Creek

Thank you kind sir.

you are very welcome

We have an extra hen for Christmas as well, they were on sale so why the heck not, right?
As to deleting all of the Black Friday email been doing that all week and this morning was greeted by more then I had already received for the week all in one day. :thud: Saw the most despicable notice of all earlier this week talking about welcome to "Black Friday Week"
I was raised to believe that Friday was only one day out of the week .... I wonder what the hell happened.

November..... black friday..... So.. in a few years there'll be a grey thursday in September? and a black Friday month?
Curse you T. Nast, commercializing holidays!
*shrug* Life goes on....

Indeed ... capitalism is great but there is a line that should be obeyed ... and it is being stepped on and erased to the detriment of society.

And you don't have the 11/11 yet?
It's a China thing. November 11st being the day for single people. And their very own Black Friday.
We have Black Friday in France mainly since Amazon developed. And since 2 or 3 years, there are online shops doing it for the 11/11 too and making ads for.
-
11/11 is For us in the states Veterans Day and always shall be celebrated as such, by this person
-
Our 11/11 is now for all veterans, or was in project, it's never clear when the date comes. But it's for us mainly the end of the WWI.

I am having erratic posting times in the forum on different boards

https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24607.0
Had few slow times in my afternoon, but tonight is better. Yesterday wasn't bad at all.
-
Good Afternoon to all...or evening...depending where you are....or better yet....Morning....if it works for you....
Was up yesterday morning at 4:30 AM cooking..... Finally got to rest around 7PM when all finally left....well, not rest actually...had to put all the left overs in containers.... Had a 22 lb turkey and everthing else that goes with it.
My Great Grand enjoyed the kitties even though the Grandson had to keep reminding her that her allergies are sure to kick up....and they did by the end of the day.... :thud:
But all in all it was a very fun day....for all....but I'm still worn out LOLOL....
As for posting times...keep in mind that we have other areas that are still loading up that are not forum related....so that will cut into our time in here a little bit...but nothing major.
Old Chinese saying....better to have a little of something then a lot of NOTHING.....
And now to take quick tour and then see what else I missed...
By the way...Woke up to 16 degrees this morning....right now we are at a balmy 25 degrees.... :java: ahhhhh
Hope everyone had a marvelous day....

Is it just me of is taking an inordinate amount of time for a reply to post to the forum?
I'm having uniformly slow posting times.
-
Seems about a 30 second delay per post.
-
Minimum on a good moment
-
Same here....but I can live with it....for now LOL
-
It's odd for me. I can start a timer and at just about the 30 second mark, the post is accepted.
-
That is odd....but as things get completed...I'm hoping that all will be fine. I'm impressed with the speed of the transition though...and how well it works except for this little hiccup.
And as mentioned...it doesn't bother me to much since I have 3-4 tabs open and while one is loading, I'm typing in another one and loading that up.....and then on to the next tab....
-
Has been a bit slow but nothing to worry me about. Ok knight let's see if will let me attach . A little tease lol.
-
Wow! That looks great, Noshoba.
I'm actually benefiting from the slower posting. I have to think before I press "Post". :shrug: And maybe even read what I wrote.
-
:iminnocent: :tearlaugh:
-
That depends on what TL.
-
Huh huh huh! (me too!) Amazon.News, the "host" for rotcity, takes about that long every single action over AT rotcity now. Cause blake moved us to hong kong. AND that sure ain't in Florida folks!
-
I dreamt the last night that J told to us in fact Kianna was a "he" at the beginning. And he told that so seriously :tearlaugh:
that is so scary! :yeow:

Slow posting here too and I keep getting dropped from notifications

As long as it isn't just my end. Slow post is better than no post.

Good Morning to all......
Yup, I'm early.....I had 4 furry ones thinking it was time to play.....and they are still playing...but that's fine. I'm normally up at 5AM feeding them...
There will still be some kinks in here for a bit...but we are operating at 95% which is a hell of a lot better than the last change we made...so let's all "Knock on Wood" so that it stays that way.
Now I have to take a trip to the gallery.....be back later on...
Oh Yes....at least 4 pots of coffee are going to be required today Fafnir :tearlaugh:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of spirits and an extra 5 pots for Luffie the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the trimmings and sweet tater wedges
-
Woohooo.....Glad you made 5 pots.....I already finished off one this morning. Coffee is my blood :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Just don't tell my Doctor I said that.... :zipit:
-
Morning...Since I didn't have to work for a change ..body decided wake up my usual 3 AM and fell right back to sleep for another 4. At least I think that's what I did lol.
-
As we get older our body has more control over us then the mind does....which in most cases is not a bad thing.
I can't remember the number of times when the mind said "You can do it" and the body is saying "Nope...ain't going to happen" but we listen to the mind anyway....and...well, we all know the results when that happens :tearlaugh:
-
Well I spent 20 years being up at 3 for work so I do wake up then no matter what. Lol. Just what happens after seems to have changed
-
Yup....I had to get up at 5AM every morning....and still do...not that I want to now...but between the mind and the felines....I have no choice....and once I'm up...there is no down time :thud:
-
Good morning!
Seems about a 30 second delay per post.
In fact, when that happens to me, if I go to open in a new tab the index page, often it appears my message is already posted, despite the fact the tab where I did the reply is still with the turning blue wheel.
-
An experiment worth trying. Thanks!
-
The same here! Cool!
-
Good Morning to you Aelin and Sir Knight....I LOVE tabs and indeed...tis strange that the spinner spins though the post is done...but I'm impatient and right now I have 12 tabs going LOLOLOL

:thud:

And keep in mind Aelin...that's only two ONE screen :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
:ummm: "one ONE" screen thou art confused on thy grammar ye ole wizened one
-
It's been one of those mornings....either I repeat the post or don't post it right or misspeel....
-
:thud: consistent thou art "Miss Peel"
Although if that would refer to an attractive lady she could "peel" her clothes off in front of me with no objections :pervy: :tearlaugh:
-
One can only hope she would.... :java:
-
Well, how about that I no longer see the "unsecure" icon in the site address bar
:o_go_on: yes I am slow but it was always there before the move so this is a good thing mayhaps
-
No Mayhaps about it.....yup...tis a GOOD THING.....
-
J Kianna would be jealous if Miss Peel come to visit and did the peel thing with her clothes it would most like end with a lump on your head or worse
-
By g :tearlaugh: sh you do have a point there Fafnir..... :tearlaugh:

Agent, my mind melts every morning watching the morning news. There are no grammar checkers, spell checkers, or proofreaders of any type seemingly employed by the media to go over the crawlers on the bottom of their stations. I read yesterday about a "Maneating Thanksgiving Dinner" that was shot to death through a dining room window. I would surmise that the "maneating" dinner was dispatched. No word on the man in his dining room that was under attack by it. Hope he survived. I wonder how many other people were injured by this rogue bird and it's posse of hard boiled veggies?

Agent, my mind melts every morning watching the morning news. There are no grammar checkers, spell checkers, or proofreaders of any type seemingly employed by the media to go over the crawlers on the bottom of their stations. I read yesterday about a "Maneating Thanksgiving Dinner" that was shot to death through a dining room window. I would surmise that the "maneating" dinner was dispatched.

LOLOL BIG TIME!
I know the English language much better than most of the people I know, so when I see what is supposed to be a professionally done advertisement that has blaring mistakes in it, I have to wonder how the supposed professional got their job, if they can't even proofread a simple sentence!
Still looking for the definition of 'Stuido'! ;perplexed:
-
Good luck with that Agent. If I want a good laugh, all I have to do is watch the subtitles and or the crawler on any random presentation. Makes you wonder what those folks' parent language is. Surely, its not English!!!!!
* I know, don't call you Shirley.*
-
* I know, don't call you Shirley.*
Or late to dinner :tearlaugh:
-
Hrrrrmmmm.... isn't Stuido the little brother of Guido? Son of Bluido and Maruido? I'd go on but the cords too short, could unplug anyt.....
-
What makes me laugh at this situation most is the fact that "nowadays, we have access to auto-correcting software; which, if used, will catch more than 80% of all mistakes!" I tried it out in Word, purposefully making bad mistakes, and by my estimate, the auto-correct caught about 83% of my mistakes. It could be even higher, because it also switched to the correct spelling for words that sound the same but have different meaning and spelling. I had used the correct spelling of alternate words out of context, and it caught that. Before that, I did not know MS Office had that kind of intelligence, (Does it?).
Anyways, I'm loving the humor this morning! You guys helped my mood to change, and I :ty: :ty2: :ty02:

Still looking for the definition of 'Stuido'! ;perplexed:
Stuido definition: (stu-id-o)
A clever intentional mistake used by professional advertiser used to get an individual to present as ridicule to a large forum causing the majority of observers to seek out and carefully and completely review the product for further mistakes.
A method used to entice new and potential customers.
:shrug: Sorry just having a senior moment.
-
:thumb_up: Not bad ... not bad at all
-
I'm with Jherr Doc, does sound like an intentional marketing ploy, or an unintentional mind f@&t that one take advantage of before the truth is found out.
*Cue X-Files theme*
Cheers 8 )

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked BBQ ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Mornin' Fafnir. Coffee n Creek if you please. Stayin' in where it's warm. Too much snow down for a guy with canes to plod around in. We got about 6in. Not bad. Might melt tomorrow if the weather weenies are correct.
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug with a double shot of Creek in it stay warm my friend
-
Good morning!
Yesterday it snowed from a part of the night to almost the end of the morning. Then a part started to melt.
This night, another snowfall came, but in town, including the grass areas, it's really melting despite the fact it's cold outside :lostme: But we can see the snow stays well on the countryside.
-
Good Morning,
We have plenty of sun out here. Getting a bit cooler in the mornings it is around 40 degrees F here. I have a feeling it will be a mild winter this year. And now for some coffee.
-
Good morning to all. Happy Monday. Threatened but not delivered snow this weekend. Plenty of cold, though.
-
keep the cold me no like cold
-
Me no like snow either. Snow heap bad . . . .
Now, where was I going with that?????
Oh yeah. The bloody weather weenies are still at it, but a bit better. Got sun for today, though is still a bit breezy and a tad chilly. Beautiful.
Sorry, must have channeled in old reruns of "F Troop". The boys were a hoot. Hikawis much better than the fugarwis!
Can you imagine some clown running amok through the woods and declaring ... wait for it . . . . "We're the Fugarwi!"
-
hope your good weather continues Hipshot
-
Good Morning to all.....
Had to give the eyes a rest so it was a no puter day yesterday. Gotta do that every now and then....and what did I accomplish while not on the computer....
Hummmmm.....Not much at all :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Anyway....Good to see the place is still running....for the most part. Got some areas to take care of I guess...but that comes with change.
Weather here is COLD COLD COLD...and dreary. Nothing but clouds...but thankfully no winds like yesterday...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
-

LOL! ok, no worries, glad y'all are alright!
I hear ya David. I had my Turkey dinner then slept 10 hrs myself. :yeow:
-
Good Morning,
Looks like spring out here, lows in the high 40s F and and highs this week in the mid 70s F this week. Usually it drops below freezing out here in December and January.
-
Well it's still below freezing and snowing here and the weather weenies keep calling for more of the same.
-
Tomorrow we are supposed to have rain. Then Thursday, back from snow.
-
Good Morning to all
Been busy in here already this morning. Getting everything cleared out that we can.
I was up at 3AM McG....but not because I wanted to be. Oz has decided that he can sleep in my bed along with the kittens...and he's a BIG BOY LOLOLOL....he kept moving about until he found his sweet spot...which happened to be where the kittens were sleeping. :thud:
Anyway...I'm all set for another day....so thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
-
That's typic of cats :tearlaugh: Giroflée makes the same with Puce. So, time to times, Puce pretends to stay in a spot, and when Giro comes, she goes on the spot she really wanted :yes:
-
The kittens are learning some tricks of their own also. Ozzy better beware when they get bigger :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Well it's still below freezing and snowing here and the weather weenies keep calling for more of the same.
Well I real don't know what to say about that, but hope your weather changes for better conditions.
-
Yeah I started shivering when I saw that! :glittery: :shiv:
-
Well this dark AM is a single degree over freezing. Rain not snow today I guess irregardless of their announcements. I don't believe them most of the time anyway. Supposedly tomorrow will have lots of rain. Don't have to shovel rain. Stupid statement. Need more coffee Fafnir. Mind isn't working too well this am.
-
About 30 minutes until first light here. Cold but still no noticeable snow.
-
:yippee: I now have control once more over how warm or not I desire it to be in the place.
Things are looking up.
Second I will apologize to all if you received two announcements about the new contest. The place posted it so fast this morning that I did not believe my eyes so I sent it again ... I think ... so if you got two of them let us know in this thread.
Now on to our regularly schedule work day oh and BTW it is first night of final exams for my students :heeheehee:
-
Mornin to you all hands PDG a steaming mug with a shot of Creek Coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib with all the fixings and sweet tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a rainy cold day here. For now, the scheduled program from the forecast weather. If they are true, tomorrow is the return of snow - just in time for the morning where the flea market is opened :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning! :glittery:
-
Good Morning to all.....
A chilly start to the day but it's supposed to get up to 51 degrees this morning...but with Rain....
then it's back in the lower 30's once again this afternoon...with only a slight chance of snow in the forecast...
Hope all have a great day....and now back to our House Cleaning....
-
Good Morning,
Another day at the RKO. :merryxmas:

I am confused, I did not get any in my email, but I got two in show unread post. Which I check and clear a few times each day so I know they are current posts. However, I only got one for December and the other was for the November monthly contest.

mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with all the fixings and tater wedges with plenty melted butter for dipping

Good morning!
No yo-yo from a rainy day to a snowy one, only rain, but that's not bad.
-
Ah, that's it! We are 4PM here and snow is here all of sudden and loudly :happydance:
-
Good Morning to all....or afternoon....or evening...depending where you are
I had all intentions of putting up some Christmas Decorations outside but decided they could wait. It's windy out and chilly....and I'm in no mood to fight the wind while trying to get lights up....
Actually, I like the "COLD" and "CALM" better than the "Chilly" and "WINDY...
But it will get done. Last year I put them up when it was 17 degrees....
Hope all have a great day....I'm off to do more housecleaning in here....Nothing major...Just clearing out stuff that's been gathering dust for years....
Fafnir...Two pots of Coffee please..... :java: Ahhhhhhhh
-
And here I was cheering that we didn't get any snow yet. Oh well. Be nice as long as it lasts. Just got out of the rack . . . . . nice being retired . . . . and now at 'puter trying to get a little work done. First, grab a large cuppa :java: or :java: :java: from Fafnir's never ending server, and its off to the races.
-
Yup.....I had a huge "TO DO" list when I retired. I think I've got one thing done....and many started LOLOLOL.....
-
I liked very much your other seasonal signature TL! But it seems you changed it like I'm back online
-
Got it working again...My bad...Had to many pages open and clicked on the wrong thing....
-

We lost the 6 or 7 inches we had here overnight. Temp went up 10 degrees so the thaw started. Been retired for a lot of years. Have accomplished nothing.
-

Story of my life.
-
Oh; look at that. 4:20. More nothing gonna get done
-
Well, I got all my fall Decorations down and put away.....got SOME of the outside Decorations up but the temp dropped from 46 to 34 in an hour and a half....but what I got us so far doesn't look to bad...though I notice one of the string of lights has one bulb out.
I don't use the tiny bulbs outside...I use the big ones...they look better and last longer and you can find what bulb went out with not problem LOLOL
I've got a ton of stuff to do in here....so off I go...with :java: in hand...
-
You just take care of that ol bod, TL. Specially them Eye Balls! :glittery:
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be tacos with all the fixings and tater wedges Tequila too
-
Good morning
-
Good Morning! (reaches for that COFFEE!) (Thanks Fafnir!)
-
There she is! Hello Aelin! I am enjoying my first hot cup of COFFEE! right now. :happydance: :glittery: Ahhh that's GOOD! :java:
-
Hi McG!
I'm just back from a good hot cocoa cup in the middle of the afternoon. Something I do only during December out of breakfast.
-
Good Morning to you all....
Say McG....I'm going to try to get your signature working again....after our clean up...
I'll take a couple of pots of :java: again Fafnir.....
Good Morning to you Aelin.....I see you've been Very Very busy....
and LOL PDG.... I don't have a "TO DO" List anymore.....I renamed it to a "NOT GOING TO GET DONE" list
And now to get started once again in here....with :java: in hand
-
Hot cocoa sounds real good too, Aelin! TL, I think my sig line is there. Aint it? :glittery:
-
I could sure use a prettier picture though! Ha! LOL! :yeow:
-
mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be roasted smoked ham with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
I'll grab a mug. No Creek. Have to go grocery shopping shortly. Just waiting for my buddy Ed to drop by and give me a lift. Update day. Blender updated. Poser updated. Snow coming. Temp falling. I'll be sucking back a few coffee and Creeks in an hour or so.
-
Good morning!
After a morning of rain then rain and wind, the sun has decided to shine.
-
Break out the c&C. I'm back from the grocery and it's time to check out the final implementation of Geometry Nodes in Blender. Reminds me entirely too much of VRML. I hated VRML. Now, an integrated asset management system is something else all together. Depending upon how that changes my workflow, Blender may take a more staring role in my creative endeavors.
Aelin, my weather has been so erratic over the last couple of days that the only thing I can guarantee is that there is indeed weather; and that is about as reliable as it gets.
-
I've been in here for a while now but forgot to visit the coffee shop. I'm on my fourth cup of coffee already LOLOL. We got COLD COLD AND FOG which equals ICY roads...I have no place to go so all is good.
Have fun shopping PDG....Nowadays it's an adventure...just seeing if what you need is on the shelves....
And thanks for the Reminder about Poser and Blender...Got the E Mail about the updates but filed it for a later date....I guess this is the later date LOL....
I'll work on getting you a cool sig McG....
And THANKS for the :java: Fafnir.....Better get a couple more pots going...it's going to be a LONG day....:java: Ahhhhhh
Good Morning to you Aelin....Glad all turned out good for the kitty...Now you can rest easy....
-
You're ahead of me, TL. I'm just one number three. Now that you mention it, my cup DOES seem to be empty.
-
Lorna's finally up so I've got more coffee being made...She's only a two cupper....where I'm a two to four potter LOLOLOL

How annoying and boring starting on the 9th you are now signed up for two step sign in on your gmail account whether you want to or not ... good grief you now have to have your phone next to you just to sign in to your account.
What the hell do you do to check your mail on the phone then ????
This is starting to become frelling ridiculous ... next thing they're going to want a blood sample, a stool sample and a semen sample ... where the hell will it stop
I understand security but by all that is holy ...
-
I believe they're trying to attack the problem of stolen passwords. Having a "physical" second factor is intended to address that. I haven't looked at Google's (yet) but the two-factor-auth that we use at work has a way to remember you logged in for a fairly long period.
-
I do that for everything. Phone, Internet, FB, any accounts I have to go into. Better safe then sorry. Only takes once for someone to become "YOU" and your screwed...and will have to spend years undoing what was done. Takes one minute more to get a verification....
-
Like I mentioned I understand the logic behind it.
It is just annoying to have to have the phone tied off as an umbilical to you even more then some of the zombie's already do
... and do not bother to talk about a simple stolen password, I still have to file a PIN number to do my taxes, due to having a fraudulent tax return filed in my name.
And before you try to tie that together just stop, remember I was in bankruptcy and those records were on file in the court system

I understand security but by all that is holy ...
I have no phone, so if they let me one more time enter in my gmail, I guess it's bye bye to them. But already they block me when they decide "they don't know that machine", so...
And I know people who will never enter their phone to please to google. Even one people in security that I know who said to never give such infos.
-
As I always say "J"....to each their own.... I weigh which "Pain in the ass" is worse and go from their....and Aelin...I totally agree with you. My Mother never had a cell phone and had a tough time when everyplace she went required a code. They'd send it to her via E-Mail which she could get off the computer...but wouldn't remember how to get back to where she was to put in in...
-
I see the important question is being avoided ... where will it :soapy: end?
-
The more things that electronics take over....the more things that need to be secure....
I was happy with a dial up phone and two tons of paperwork to get anything I needed LOLOL
-
It's so secure than when a hacker enters in their place, after you wonder why people from India call you and know a lot on you...
-
Yes indeed....I love reading about Hackers getting into "SUPER SECURE" places. So much for SUPER SECURE....
-
Proves my statement ... what next a blood sample, stool sample and semen sample or maybe a urine sample?
-
Baby finger...just the tip....then they'll work their way through the rest of your body parts.... :java:
-
Soooo....since it seems we are finally done with that conversation.....Anyone started any of their Christmas Decorating?
I know one thing....I'm going to have to be very picky as to what I put up and where I put it up with the 3 hellions roaming around. Oz is pretty good with not touching things he's been told NOT to touch...but with the kittnes... anything new that you leave laying around is their new toy...and when they take and hide it....it's even more fun LOLOL
I got my outside somewhat done. Not going balls to the walls this year. They are predicting a lot of snow and I don't feel like taking down decorations in a blizzard :tearlaugh:
I've got lights on my two porches...and that's it so far. Got two fake trees I might put in the front....MIGHT being the key word.
-
Baby finger...just the tip....then they'll work their way through the rest of your body parts.... :java:
Darn :sadder: I don't have a baby finger :tearlaugh: and I am never finished beating a dead subject to death ... besides this is so much more fun then writing report cards ... just saying :iminnocent:
-
Good damn thing I'm use to your irritating ways :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: Have fun with the Report Cards.... I've got to figure out where to go on FB...thud....
Speaking of which.....I just read this: Next time you log in on this browser, just click your profile picture instead of typing a password.
-
Greetings one and all. Bit blustery but still eminently survivable. Just turned my Baja in for service as it seems the CV joints were complaining rather loudly. Other than than, just attempting to survive the insanity that comes with dealing with an idiot.
Good thing its the Christmas season, or I'd be tempted to kill some . . . . thing. :thud:
And speaking of hackers and their misbegotten ilk . . . . How about those Trolls on FB that prey on the gullible? My daughter (40+) is a prime example. Had some fool telling her that he was a general officer, home in Fla, grown daughter, dead wife, etc. etc. currently stuck in Af***ckistan. This was AFTER the big pullout. My son, marine vet, and I both told her that he was only after money, even showing her the proof of it, and she still believed HIM rather than US. Guess the bastard told her he loved her. Still believe she sent him the money he "needed" so desparately.
Now, she's hooked up with some "real cute guy" , her words, that's currently "in the military and training in Alaska". Not to mention preparing for war. He sent her a couple of pictures in military fatigues, showing him rockin' a full BEARD! The uniform was foreign, the flak vest the same, boonie hat okay. (One out of three not bad) If he's legit, the SOB is actually in the Spanish army - tracked down the ID tags, different name than he gave, as well as shoulder flash on uniform. Once again, we couldn't be right about him . . . . He's so cute! . . . her words. And, once again the bastard asked for money. Seems he broke his phone and needed a new one.
To all the ladies we have here, I must apologize. But, I think we need to check, at least a few of your medicine cabinets a bit more closely!!!! Kianna's excepted, of course.
Whew!!!! That's better. Better grab another cup and a bit to eat now that I got that out. Other than that, how was you guys' day????
:peek: :peek:
-
having a good so far got to run some errands and ain't sure how that is gonna be given that it is a weekend and the way folks drive around here
to answer J's question about security and where it's going to end Never so now you have your answer J
-
I'm afraid to ask what your having good Fafnir LOLOL..... (I know it's DAY) but I'm in a "Pick On Ya" mood :tearlaugh:
We've got traffic here also Fafnir...but it's easy passing Farm Machinery and Horse and Buggys LOLOL

Our only Christmas decoration so far is a little tree with lights in the family room. The visiting kittens thought it was most interesting. They had used the tree at their home as a climbing post but this one is too small. They sat and looked at it for a bit and then decided than having the zoomies was more fun. I would occasionally see one or the other of them checking it out but nothing like that long initial stare. :tree:
-
Yup HS...the Scoundrels are out there and then some. That is why I'm only in there once a week nowadays....
WHY?
My answer is simple...tired of the BS and Idiocy going on in there. So instead of getting bent out of shape...I go in on Saturday...do our attic stuff....Hit up some of my friends art....Catch up with family posts....and then LEAVE till next weekend....
Less frustration and less WTF moments....Can't believe what some folks will fall for my friend. My youngest is the same way....Tell her the sky is falling and she'll send money to fix it. Thankfully she lives back East and her kids and boyfriend have to put up with it LOLOL....

I've had nothing but table top trees since I moved into the new place. A lot less hassle and I have little table tops like you do...and I'm only putting up two this year...One in the front office and one on the kitchen table. Not positive if the one on the kitchen table is safe from the threesome...but we'll see LOL...Ozzy knows better...I'm hoping he'll teach them NOT TO go near them :tearlaugh:
-
Soooo....since it seems we are finally done with that conversation.....Anyone started any of their Christmas Decorating?
Here in So. Ca. I had to ask the apartment rental office for outdoor guide line. They sent me a copy of the state mandate on outdoor holiday decorations that stated
"BAH HUMBUG !!!" :insist: :glittery: [size=78%] [/size]
-
That's so sad DLL.....But as my Mother use to say....there is a bright side to every bad....You'll be saving on your electric bill..... Where I am they encourage decorating and they give Turkeys to the best three places. I never tried to win a Turkey...especially when I'm still eating Turkey Leftovers from Thanksgiving :tearlaugh:
-
Except one sticker on a window, nope, not yet Christmas decorations.
Hips, that's a current story tried in France. When they aren't poor guys blocked in an African country, they are princes blocked in such location but without the possibility to touch their money. And they need yours, that of course they will reimburse :sure:
Or, you have suddenly somebody contacting you concerning a cousin you never heard but who died in an African country in a terrible car accident. And you are on the will of the deceased person :sure: Of course, there are things to do with a bit of money before to touch the huge amount of the heritage.
We have also African guys talking on web with women from a certain age, saying how many they love them. Then they need, for a reason or another, money.
When I had TV, all those cons went from African continent, but I'm sure there are from other locations. Alas, despite the fact it was often in news, some idiots continued to fell in the trap.
-
Even Governments get scammed by the scammers...."Trust Me" seems to be the signature on the contracts LOLOL
-
TL metinks ye summed it up in ye olde proverbial nutshell. So no further ranting on the scammers, thieves, hackers and other causes for me to have to use a 2 device login for every important site I use. You know, the usual. Bank, VA, Social Security, ALL Gov't sites. Steam, Google, T-Mobile too. But google? Aw c'mon, they GIVE your info away in triplicate times 100! Well that ends my ranting. Fingers don't wanna act too good tonight. I has FOOD, and I DID get Jungle Cruise and The Suicide Skwad on BlueRay/DVD/Digital Copy's in today so me be happy rest of the weekend! LOL!
-
I have seen several shows on Discovery and Science, like Strange Evidence and such, that their expurts tell us the vast majority of all the scams and hacking are coming from Russia and China. Now, their sources are pretty much all from the US Government. So I gotta wonder if the REAL culprit is deliberately left not mentioned. Umm Hmmm!
-
Good Morning...grins evilly...Made my Sunday.. pissed off one of the church ladies when I grabbed a dryer before they could.. Started fussing at me and I just grinned. I don't speak Spanish either..

Good morning

Well with the sun going to sunset, I saw a kind of fog on the hill. Then the fog was on the parkings of the shops. Then finally in the lights of the town seemed to be rain. And in fact it was snow :dk2:
A part has smelt, but it seems we have already Winter wanting to be here.
-
What a wonderfully poetic description, Aelin!
-
I just about busted my ass going out to feed the outside cats that come around....It is SLICK AS SHIT.....
How's that for poetic Sir Knight :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Not up to Aelin's level but high quality, for sure. :thumb_up:
Be careful!
-
LOLOL....I don't aim that high....I'm retired.....I use to "One Up" when I was working.... :tearlaugh:
-
UUuuuuuhhhhhhh? Seriously? Don't like slipping under any conditions. Luckily, there are no freeze warnings out my way. . . . . yet . . . On the other hand, we have not put up any decorations as yet. Our only problems are a couple of cats who like to climb Xmas trees. Likes to go up the main trunk and then swat the decorations situated on the outside. Not good to hear them hitting the floor at one or two in the AM. We got all plastic so we don't have to worry about them breaking. Much as they had before, prompting the change. The only time that I have really come acropper was over a year ago. And it was in the house! Wet tile in the reading room and me foot went one way and me bod went the other. Got my bell rung pretty good and prompted a run to the emergency room. Connie panicked, called my son and he got off work and the next thing I know I'm in his truck and heading for Temple. No worries though. Noggin far to hard for any damages.
:odd:
-
The floor however........
Sorry Hip couldn't resist.
If we wear them to avoid meeting the floor abruptly, why are they called slippers?
Cheers
-
got to watch that slick shit luffie put some salt by the door and sprinkle some on the step before going out to feed kitties

Would almost welcome a bit of good sharp cold, had one of those days hear where it feels like someone dropped a warm wet wool blanket over the city and turned the heat on

Good Morning to all....In here early because I'm going NO WHERE when it's sleeting outside...Already got a 1/2" of it on the ground with more coming down....and winds at 40-45 MPH.
So inside is a good place to keep my ass toasty and my coffee HOT.... :java: Ahhhhhhh
Md-G.....I've got to watch the Suicide Squad....Got it for my Birthday from someone in the family...not sure who LOLOL....haven't even opened it yet....I've got to be in a DVD mood....
Sooooo.....How do you like your Signature....I might change it weekly LOLOL
Set one up for Fafnir also....We might as well be in a festive mood in here....
I watched it this morning, and really enjoyed it. Lots of action, tons of humor. It is a "Story In Realism" right out of the dopey comic books! But they made it fun. There is some cool stuff, cool characters galore, and a pretty cool ending. Specially considering WHAT they were, well, ending! LOL! We know who some of the main players are. Idris Elba and Margot Robbie. Margot is always sensational. Even as Harley Quinn. Actually being as the girl can actually act, I like her as Harley a lot. Oh right, Miss Waller is still there, and Rick Flagg. Some of the old Skwad get blown away, some new Skwad actually survive. It was interesting! And more laughter than the first. Is it worth a view? You betcha!
:java: :glittery: :xmas11:
Oh the SIG, ok so now I am Santa! Kewl! :happydance:

Stuff you can put on ice to help get traction. Clean Kitty Litter! The first early cat litter was literally Industrial Absorb All. Made from clay, it did great for soaking up oil leaks and on ice to give traction. Where I worked, it was used a lot for both purposes. Back in the 80's we had some terrible winters in Houston. I used to think all the Detroit refugees brought their winters with them! But yeah, Kitty Litter does much the same on ice. :)
-
HELLOOO Aelin, Dreamer, Fafnir Hip Shot, Wizzard, Sir Knight and TheLufias! It is about 10:20 pm here, a great start on my "morning". I woke at 9:30 pm sooo . . . it's morning for me, yep.
I bet that was a real pretty scene, Aelin! Do enjoy your Onset of Winter, ok?
Dreamer, it is still in the 50's here, but due to drop to the mid 20's tonight. Want some? Will it fit a PM? ;o)
Hip Shot! Man I am too close to 300 for my liking. I had a trip and tumble a few days ago, did a full face plant right into my lovely Serta desk chair with its leather bound plush stuffed cushions. That was lucky. I got to be way more careful how I walk around the edges of the rugs! I had just enough time to think "Ooops!" and wham, I am down. And carefully picking me back up. Even though no one saw it but me and the Angels, I was embarrassed!
I guess I could have thought "Help me MR. Wizzard!" (Fractured Fairy Tales, Tutor Turtle and Mr. Wizzard!) but that was too complex for the moment, I guess! ;)
Sir Knight, always great to see you man! :o)
TL - woohoo, yee HAW! Guys the wind is really whipping tonight. I got gusts up around 50-80 mph, all out of the North. We are getting our first real taste of winter right now. We are very apt to have a good freeze tonight.
That means you too, Hip Shot! After all, you are just off the escarpment from us, and what we get, you likely will too.

"Ahhhh... Trizzle trazzle truzzle trome,

Thanx fer the memory smile McG. 8 )

Actually I kinda figured you took your handle from that! Am I wrong?
-
Afraid so.. I was called a wizard at mechanics, and was named Wizard, but I spelled it Wizzard as tis a name not a vocation. Some get the joke. Then Terry Prachett wrote his Discworld boockes, People confused me with Rincewind. Tis rough when you're older than dirt. 8 )

Have to admit I always thought "Rincewind"

Then again... there was Don Hebert, The 50s-60's precurser to Bill Nye.
He went by Mr. Wizard, which is where Tudor's mentor's name came from. 8 )

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty Creek Rum and Bourbon the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and later on there will be brisket and link sausage with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Thanks Fafnir. 40 Creek. No coffee. Watching the temp drop. It's actually 9 degrees right now and will hit -10 by lunch time. It's not even 6am yet. Rain/freezing rain expected to be about a cm or 2 of ice by lunchtime. I walk with one or two canes depending upon how I feel any given morning. "Skating away on the thin ice of a new day" is a Jethro Tull tune, not the way to spend my morning. I'll let the building decide between Kitty Litter, Icemelt, road salt; or whatever they decide to use. Truth be told I seriously doubt it will be salt. The environmental damage from salt here is enormous and people have been moving away from it for years.
-
Good morning!
I didn't try to be poetic, nor though I was :tearlaugh:
Unfortunately, everything melted during the night.

I recall reading the Diskworld set, once through the pack of novels. Was pretty good, though the entire concept of a world as a disk had me drawing a blank. I was far more into the Ringworlds. Some call them the Titan trilogy. Those I collected, have them on top of my bookcase. Which mostly houses movies! LOL! John Varley? I know it's a V something. Wish the set continued. Those Titanides (Centaurs) were lots of fun! :D
Glad you were a Wiz at mechanics me friend, gives us a parallel interest it does! There are plenty of things you and I could speak with mutual understanding that would defy the folks not in the trade any clue at all. Sigh. That is the way of humanity methinks. Same with TechnoBabble, really! Just ask J. During his teaching semester he speaks and the class just gives him the blank stare. DOH!
:glittery: :xmas11:
-
Aelin your little paragraph was truly nice to read. And that it felt poetic was extra nice. :) :glittery:
-
Wow, well we definitely had our First Freeze of the year this morning. I watched from 2 am as the temp quickly came down to 21°F. I heard and felt that dreaded *pop* beneath my feet too. It has been much lower last year. Dropped to the -10's for a week. No dreaded pop either. Something's up. When it thaws we will find out what it was!
:happydance: :glittery: :xmas11: :xmas: :snowlady: :tree: :santa3: (oh look, a happy TL dressed as Santa!) (heheheheheee!)
-
Good MORNING Everybody! Beautiful day out there, but COLD too! Still in the mid 20's F and that makes my feet and hands hurt.
-
Good Monin' All. Woke up to a tad bit of cold. Not too bad though. I have yet to enter the great outdoors so we shall see. But first . . . . :java: AHHHHHHHHHH! Tis good to have such friends. Thanks Fafnir.
By the by McG, have you read anything by Chris Stasheff? Think I spelled the last name correctly. He has the Warlock in Spite of Himself series. Quite good. Nicely tongue in cheek.
Know what you mean by the inside knowledge about such things as mechanics. Can really screw up a mind or two when conversing in such language.
-
That bunch of bad stuff missed us so far PDG....but we do have temps in the 20's with 45-50 MPH Winds....and now a splattering of snow....and the unfortunate part is....I have to go out today so Lorna can pick up her meds at Walmart :thud: I'd wait till tomorrow...but it's going to be worse then....
Gotta get my Winter Mojo up and running once again :tearlaugh:
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...I'll need a fresh supply after 11AM.....I'm waiting for the temps to at least get up to 30 degrees before I go out....
LOLOL....I forgot to post this.....and I'm back now...our temps were NOT going to go up....BUT DOWN....So we figured we'd go before they got to far down...
-
I gots groceries. Again! Delivered. AND all from a Walmart StuporCenter that don't do 'home delivery' "YET" (as in WalMart is making WAY too much money from Express Delivery to even bother with regular delivery)! But, it is the only way I seem to have here for getting FOOD into the house while I am unable to go pick it up. Grrr. I'd rather just go get it. In time, in time. I problarize it will happen. Eventually. Sigh.
But they decided to ship the cat food and pasta sauce to me. In 3 or 4 damn days. That's just sorry of them. Anyways, got food here, and diet Mtn Dew Too! Yep. And John Souls Chicken Fajitas, which are THE best tasting chicken I have ever put in this old mouth! Seriously. If ya haven't tried em, DO! :D
I watched Jungle Cruise now too, twice. It is a good one too. The Rock and Emily Blunt. Terrific show! Hey TL, you catch a look at The Suicide Squad yet? You are sure to get some chuckles out of it. :)
-
TL I watched the temp climb up to the low 40's today like while I was carrying in my groceries. Now it's back down to 34°F already and just barely dark. Another dip into the low 20's tonight. We'll see how it goes.
-
Hey HipShot, I thinks Winter is here man!

Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steak on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges

still warm here nice breeze and leaves still falling

In the mid 60's yesterday here. 30 mph winds last night. Back to the cold this morning.
Coffee, please, Fafnir.
Good morning!
-
Good morning!
Still no Christmas tree made here, but all decorations from windows are in place. And the new Christmas "lutin" is also. Couldn't resist to his smile :tearlaugh:
It seems this year most of Christmas collection are centered on nutcrackers in France. I'm not fan of that, even if one of them was singing with a good voice in the shop :tearlaugh:
-
I have no tree yet. It will likely be a miniature USB powered one I have had for about a decade. It's just me and the Boys, decorating will be a fun time for them. A rare time, I entertain them! :glittery:
-
Good Morning All Ye Attic Denizens! It is an incredibly clear sunny BRIGHT day out there! And chilly too. it warmed up to almost 40°F already. The frost is all gone now and the air is dry. 37% humidity. Did I mention it is positively beautiful today? :woohoo: :thumb_up: :Hi5: :coffeemaker: :crazysmile: :yippee:

Ah! 41°F, 36% humidity, one tiny white cloud visible! So gorgeous a day I just had to go stand outside a couple minutes just to enjoy the feel of it! :yippee: :java: :glittery:

C&C please Fafnir. Cold and snowing. Had to put on the space heater for the first time this morning. McG, winter's been here for a while now, with the odd blasts of tropical heat from your area my friend. Your cold is my warmth.
-
Ah HA! That makes sense, PDG! It's only 34°F and staying that for several hours now. NOAA Local WX Forecast sez back to freezing by Friday nite though. It was cool enough to make me drag up my wool comforter and cover my poor old feet with it. I slept great then, no shivering. I got a brand new Queen size 100% cotton Quilt for my old twin bed. That way, I am pretty sure to have enough quilt to cover all of me with the one thing! Fafnir probably knows that problem too!
-
Good Morning everybody! Hope you are all doing great today!
My new Lenovo laptop arrived yesterday afternoon. Got to playing around with it, setting it up to use beside my bed. Unplugged two operating but totally useless tablets and am gonna store em, after I reformat both of them. This new laptop is a 16" touch screen, 10 points, with handwriting etc. It started out as W10 Home 64 bits "in S Mode". I learned what that means and how to kill that one pronto. MicroSoft really didn't want me to as they *REALLY* need Users to use their Store exclusively for ALL programs. HELL NO DAMMIT! So the first thing I will get is AdBlocker Ultimate for the SYSTEM! Yeah means paying em a few bucks. Worth it. Damn M$ and their dumb ads. But, with most of the tracking stuff shut off, the unwanted software uninstalled, and settings to what I want them to be, it's a decent little laptop! 8 gigs of DDR4 ram, a 256gig SSD, and I will see if I can add like a 2 TB one :D I think it is just a dual core Intel, dunno if it has Hyperthreading yet. Will find out soon I figure. Not so bad for a $479 NEW machine. Well, that is my Christmas Pressie to myself this year. Yaaay! :D Now, it nears daybreak, so it is off to bed with me, again! See y'all later today!
-
Good morning!
-
Good Morning! doing this on the new laptop . . . in bed! Ha!
the 16" screen seems big, compared to the tablets especially.
So far, so good, this is in WaterFox. Not that Edge mess.
:glittery: :xmas11:
-
Good Morning to all.....
Yesterday it was a balmy 7 degrees when I woke up...today is 24 degrees...what a heatwave...
And it was a busy day....so never got a chance to drop in....
And now to see what is what and who is who and what is where....with :java: in hand
-
dont have an issue with cover McG and sleep under a ceiling fan 24/7 only time it gets turned off is to clean it have had this fan for at least 30 years still going strong it is
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of C&C enjoy and stay warm my friend
-
I tell you, Fafnir, you do a great job taking care of that fan/motor! I also forget at times your being in Florida you don't need blankets! Up here I do, and standard Twin size ones are just too short. The sheets are fine. And this Queen size quilt is too. It can cover this entire bed plus some. Ha!

During the day I'm either in my Computer room or on the computer in the Bedroom.....and at night I've got my HP Laptop to keep me company...along with nosey kittens.... And yes...they do type faster then me....and no...nothing they type is readable.... :tearlaugh:
-
No readable for an human, but perhaps for cats :winks:
Here they learnt they haven't the right to come on the comp. Near if they want to, but no more. Even if last months, I had few paws put on to try. What do you want, it's teenage rebellion :shrug:

The cat (long hair, Lilac Himalayan) used to sleep on top of the tower under the desk. It has a mesh top to help dissipate entirely too much heat from the two VHS tape sized video cards. Warm with a breeze from the fans. Great place to sleep for a cat. Terrible place as far as the computer is concerned. I placed a bar mat (beer advertising towel) on the top of the machine. Exactly the same size as the computer. After the cat slid off the top of the computer a few times, bar mat and all; she got the message. Now she sleeps behind the Dell in the exhaust from that machine.
-
Smart cat.... When I'm in the office I spend more time keeping them away from the electrical panel and cords then I do work....which is why most of the time I'd have the door shut. But when Lorna is gone I have to keep the door open to hear what the kittens are destroying now. :tearlaugh:
-
My cat seems to have decided that walking over and sitting on key boards is not fun any more and has stopped doing so for reasons unknown. Maybe it has something to do with my clearing off all the small things that could be knocked to the floor
-
Thankfully Oz has long been over that stage...but I'm thinking he's been showing the Kittens a trick or two...because half the pens that were on my desk are missing :thud:

Classic. Had to really work fast to keep Mozilla from updating it even though I'd told it not to. That is sorry stuff, VERY sorry.
But now WF Classic is installed on both desktop and laptop, and no checking for updates is allowed. :)
-
Even at 10 and 12 yrs old both mine will still run off with whatever pens they find ON the deck. If in the big rotary canvas caddy, they leave them be. But I find things that were on the desk all over the house still. As long as I don't find them outside we're good! Heh!

The Lenovo is a 3 15 IML, W10 Home x64, 8 gigs RAM, a 256 Gig SSD, 15" Touch Screen display and Lenovo site said it is a 1080p "full HD" display. But rez is lower than that. Anyway, so far it surprised me how quick it is. Decent graphics, good sound, easy to use, easy to get around in. Good thing I got some experience using W10 now. It's fun. Oh right gotta install some games on it too. But being able to use Fantasy Attic easily is a big bonus to me!

don't got no cats just molly she can't get up to puter pt on desk a good thing but her thing is squeeky balls she has them spread all over the house to play with so have to be careful where you step

As a child we had rabbits. Pets for us kids when they were bunnies. Dinner after a year or so when they became rabbits. Cruel by modern standards maybe but poor folk got to eat. My Mom gave one to a neighbour for them to give their daughter as a pet. No for food. After a few weeks of it eating the electrical cords and not being electrocuted and eating the baseboard trim without passing from lead poisoning the Father couldn't take it anymore. They had rabbit pie for supper. The poor girl was told that Dad had let the bunny run free as it wasn't good for it to imagine it was a beaver.

Oh; and a Good Morning to All. Cold snow dark. Yep. Typical morning in December.

They do the same here in Wisconsin. Many of the farmer's children make pets of farm animals....and I'm sure the outcome is the same...Dinner Time..... And I'm thinking I'd rather stick with cats then rabbits. Cats can get into trouble...but they are pretty smart....they know how to butter us up so we forgive them LOLOL

yea but she has gotten to be friends with the cat now

and as far as farm animals go i used to raise calves and pigs there names were pork chop and sirloin so there was no doubt as to their purpose in life didn't raise gators but they went well in the menu when they moved into the stock ponds and started eating calves

yea but she has gotten to be friends with the cat now
I guess two days out of seven count as a friendship LOLOL... But give her a hug from me anyway....
-
Sorry it took so long to get back in here but after I folded the clothes, Jennas Dad came over and asked to borrow some tools....guess Jenna and her boyfriend didn't do the piping up to her Dad's standards....and not thinking he would need tools...he left his toolbox at work....

Good Morning to all.....
A wild and wooly day here but nothing compared to those who got pounded by tornados..Our neighbors to the South including our close neighbor, Illinois got hit bad. Hate when that happens, but more so when it happens right around the Holidays. My heart goes out to all of them.
All we have to deal with today is high winds, snow, sleet, rain and cold temps....and then tomorrow we will have temps close to 50 degrees....
Anyway....I hope you all have a good day....and I'll be taking a tour with :java: in hand....

At least we still can at our age McG. Late day for me. Attempted to rack out 'round midnight and Connie decided to talk with her sister . . . . . for over TWO hours. Sitting in bed right beside me. Needless to say, not much sleep. I finally faded out around 0200 so dunno how long. Boss picked up daughter so got to sleep in. Nice. Been finalizing settings and getting other legalistic things done. Now able to enjoy. Been working on manuscripts and even got another render done. Not the greatest but nice. Would have posed that, or something similar for Halloween but . . . . it is what it is.

Quietly lurking the Halls, I saw a man who was hunch over who was running through the hall saying sanctuary, as he passed.

Oh goodness, it IS Sunday, not Monday! LOL! Happy Sunday y'all. Good Morning Aelin, Sir Knight and Fafnir! Really strange night for me. OK so waiting for some recent Wallyworld orders to start arriving today. Just little treats for us, such as a couple three different Meats n Cheeses n Crackers sets, another 3 6-packs of DIET Mountain Dew, and the finale, three Fruit Cake bars! Some call those 'loaves' at 1 pound each. Well to me a 2" x 2" x 1' item is a BAR! LOL! I also came to see, sadly, that Walmart does NOT carry goods from the Collins Street Bakery. Fruitcake capital of the world! They do make some extraordinary cakes there, no two ways about it. But that Wallyworld doesn't carry them made me think they'd gone under. They didn't! Yaaay! Might just order up one of theirs for Christmas :D
-
Carried decoration boxes into the living room. Tree is up but undecorated. No wrapping done yet. I feel like I should get going but I'll just lie down until that feeling goes away.
I put some Bailey's in my :java: and the to-do list is fading from view and now I am seeing a :haremdance: followed by someone :shakeyour: and :openone: going to be a busy day :tearlaugh:
-
Radkres, just ordered a medium Deluxe Fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery. And Walmart has nothing from their store. Oh well.
-
Anne Rice has died. :insist:

-
Yeah; saw that yesterday.
-
Do we have a denizen called Quasimodo, by some odd chance, M-C? :lostme: :santa3: :xmas: :xmas9:
It seem he was running towards the bell tower. It just might be.
-
Did he have a red light on his palm?
I didn't notice a light but did get a whiff of mead as he went by. :beer:
-
Ahh> I thought Logan might Run the corridors looking for Sanctuary. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a6/Logan%27s_Run.jpg/220px-Logan%27s_Run.jpg
-
I sure didn't think of that one PDG! But I did read the story of Notre Dame again, just before M-C posted that. Was locating the stuff I wanted to use for an Esmeralda when I read it. Maybe it was on TV at the time? Propitious, eh? Heh! Sadly I slept since then. Now I have to start over, but that's ok. The search itself can be fun. Just ask TL, he searches easily more drives than I have, all the time! LOL!
Also, I never before caught the connection that Logan's Run made to the historical fiction, Hunchback of Notre Dame. WELL played man! :D
-
He sure made good use of that bell rope, M-C! Mighty good use. :happydance: :glittery:
-
Ahh> I thought Logan might Run the corridors looking for Sanctuary. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a6/Logan%27s_Run.jpg/220px-Logan%27s_Run.jpg
Not to familiar with Logan, could be, I was in Germany at the time eating schnitzels and chasing the ladies back then.
-
Mornin' to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slow smoked brisket and link sausage with all the fixings tater wedges and hushpuppies
-
Must be morning. The lights on timer just came on in the corner. Plants need light and pdg doesn't sleep much.
M-Callahan as attic projectionist I thought you might know that one. There was a movie in '76 that did quite well.
-
Good morning
-
Yep. Saw 'em both and never made the connection. Caught the original Charles Laughton movie a good while back as well. On well. I've tried to swear off thinking this early in the AM anyway.
Think I'll grab a good :java: and some munchies from Fafnir's and get started on the day's fun. Got a couple of ideas in mind, but will need to do a bit more research.
-
Hip, you should try to catch the Lon Chaney version Silent and Chaney did all his own makeup and stunts. Turner Classic shows it usually twice a year.
Have a handkerchief handy as it gets a bit emotional at spots.
Cheers
-
Cool, I can hang with that. Some of those old silents are damn good, even for this day and age. Have you seen Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" by any chance? The original, restored cut, of course.
-
Both silent and with soundtracks. One more classical in nature and the other "modern". I put it with The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, Phantom of the Opera, He who laughs.
Last two starring Lon Chaney Sr.
-
Mprnin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready with plenty of Creek Rum and Bourbon too The girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with plenty of melted butter for dipping and all the fixings tater wedges too.
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Coffee with a touch of bourbon would be welcome this morning.
-
coming right up hands Sir Knight a steaming mug with a good shot of bourbon in it Mornin Sir Knight
-
Good morning!
-
Good Morning to all.....A busy couple of days....but finally got the outside decorations completed....
Sad news is, they are predicting 50-60 MPH winds tomorrow night after a day of 64 Degree temps...a record high here in Wisconsin for that date....This mornings temp was 31 degrees...
Anyway....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...
And now to see what is what and who is why....
-
Cool, I can hang with that. Some of those old silents are damn good, even for this day and age. Have you seen Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" by any chance? The original, restored cut, of course.
Yep, that one is on YouTube. Ravyn turned me on to that one. Very interesting, and made great use of very simple props. Hard to believe it was centered around an android!
-
(munch munch crunch munch)
Mmm! Fruitcake! This part of my order is *delivered* !!! :glittery: :xmas11:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on they will have steaks on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges too

-
Good Morning to all.
And a big THANK YOU earwenM.... :glittery: to you and yours....
Morning Fafnir....I need a couple of pots of coffee please...it's going to be a very busy day today....and tomorrow is a Clinic day....so got to drink as much coffee as I can today since I can't have any tomorrow...
Our temperature right now is 59...they are predicting 65 degrees (Record Breaker..Old record was 56 Degrees).... Tomorrows high will be 36 degrees....which equals "STRONG STORMS and HIGH WINDS".....
So it's a good thing I have other things to get done today since I'm sure our net will go down...
And now to take a quick tour with :java: in hand...
-
You mean y'all are getting this? :
"Widespread blowing dust, mainly between 1pm and 4pm. Mostly cloudy early, then gradual clearing, with a high near 73. Very windy, with a west southwest wind 25 to 30 mph increasing to 35 to 40 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. "
And they are not kidding about that 'blowing dust' either man!!!
-
Tad bit windy here, but no real dust. Guess ita all in where you are.
-
Yep. And "up here" means a bit more than North. Like 3,400' above you, on the high plains. Flatland up high. Heh! Wind farms everywhere here. Total eyesores! Lotsa wind though. Dust storms.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be shrimp and sausage gumbo with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Needed a lot of chocolate this morning because of a stupid truck passing again and again to clean the parkings around during the night :whatthe: Used so much water than it was still wet at the end of the morning
-
Good Morning All Ye Attic Denizens!
Good Tidings to Ye, to Ye and Yer KIN!
We Wish Ye a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year!

Sounds like someone has been dippin' in the eggnog. S'all good though. Makes the day brighter. Just got the news my little Baja is ready for pickup. Had some issues with the front end that had to get sorted out. Now road worthy again and should be a hell of a lot quieter.
:happydance:
Daughter at work but will have to pick up shortly. Been busy with other things so I haven't been working here on the site. Thankfully, that will change in future.
Now for some of that great :java: and then off to pick up the ball n' chain.
-
Nope, no egg nog! No potable alcohol. Just being cheerful!
Ball and chain huh? Always reminds me of the old redneck song "Trying to Love Two Women" (is like a ball and chain!). Heh!
-
mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib and king crab legs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
-
I could have sworn I was in here earlier and said Good Morning....Unless I got interrupted while typing and didn't post it....but in either case....Good Afternoon to all.
We survived the storm....Tons of stuff to pick up....but all is good.
Was in here earlier but was on a mission...and will continue on with the mission at hand....with :java: in hand
-
Good morning! Wonder where is Fafnir? Maybe outside, chased by dustbunnies?
-
Good morning. Perhaps he and the girls are preparing a really large breakfast.
-
Mornin coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon with steak and eggs home fries too for this morning and for later on there will be fried red snapper and bacon wrapped scallops with all the fixings tater wedges too
-
was a late night so didn't get up early
-
No worries I made up for by being up and out for work at 2 AM lol
-
mornin Nosh yep 2 am works but hopefully you got done and can rest a while now
-
Good Morning to all.....even the late early bird....LOLOL
Tis a BRISK morning....26 degrees....but NO winds which is a good thing....
Got to get up the energy to finish decorating .... and yes...I'm late on that also. Time has not been on my side of late...either Mother Nature is messing with me or the Clinic is messing with me....
Anyway....I'll need a couple pots of coffee today Fafnir...
Hope everyone has a grand day.....
-
Yep got it all done. Got a tire on my F150 so I can get new tires on it before I go to Georgia to see the folks. Annoying to end up buying 5 tires total but what can you do. Good friend lent me his hydraulic jack since it had sunk in the xlft ground. Was planning to put new tires on it anyway. Just didnt expect to wake up to a flat last Sunday.
-
at least you got it done and now you got good tires all round so it will be a safe trip to Georgia
-
got plenty of coffee for you Luffie and will have a couple extra pots too
-
Actually new tires will be delivered and put on Tuesday. Need to replace flat so I could it there lol. Just grateful frkend had that jack . Those cheap things that come with new vehicles look like they originally came with the Tonkas
-
And they operate as if they were MADE by Tonka Toys LOLOL
-
Heck they probably would work better if they were made by Tonka
-
Hummmm, you have a point there....LOLOLOL
-
yea new tires usually cheep and not dependable
-
my old truck [98] got good set of tires needs seat headliner and paint job to look like new
-
Oh not definitely cheap lol. 05 F150s dont use a standard tire size because of their rims. Fortunately there is a slightly cheaper option although both are not normally carried on site.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be smoked brisket and link sausage with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir. Hopefully can get a few renders in today.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and Noshoba. Hope you have a good day!
-
Good morning!
-
good mornin Nosh Sir Knight and Aelin hope you all have a great day
-
Good Morning to all.....
I'll have a Pot of :java: Fafnir..... Though I've been advised to cut down a wee bit on the caffeine....Guess I'll have to cut down to 2-1/2 pots instead of 3.... :java: ahhhhhhh
I think I have all of my inside decorating done...though it's the "LIMITED" Kitten Version. So far...nothing bothered....but I view the "Nothing Bothered" on the "Sooner or Later" basis.....
A damn chilly morning and I have NO WHERE to go....so I won't go anywhere....
And now to take my :java: and take a tour of our humble home....and then back to a search I'm doing for Mary....
-
Off to exercise the second amendment rights today :bang:
-
Which means they have the right to shoot back.... :iminnocent:
-
Darwin would be pleased.
-
Indeed LOL
-
Hi Fafnir!
Like yesterday, the afternoon ended in a fog coming from south hills... to end with a frozen fog in fact, according some areas on the ground.
I never experimented that in the town where I left before. And I was too young to remember when I lived in the countryside before that. I find that pretty cool to see, even if I feel for birds flying quickly to their nests when that happens.
-
We had fog the other morning and the birds still managed to grip onto the slick bird feeders LOL....
-
I be the first to say "Good Morning!" on the 20th,
Good Morning! :o) :glittery: :shock: :explode: :java: :santa3: :tree: :xmas8: :xmas:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on they will be serving up slo roasted smoked ham and sweet taters and tater wedges too
-
Good morning!
-
Way to early for me to eat but I will have a pot or two of :java: Fafnir.....
Oh wait....I was told to cut back a little bit.....Just make it a pot and a half...and 4 big cups of coffee....
Got a lot to do today....Still got to wrap the presents and get the fixings for our Ham Dinner on Christmas Day. The Kitties kinda helped me out with the decorating. They made sure I put less up since they had that "Attack" look in their eyes....LOLOL
So I'm All done with Decorating...Finally. Between Clinic Appointments and Weather events I didn't think I'd ever get it done.
And now to take a tour since I'm not going out until later....
:java: Ahhhhhh.....Good stuff Maynard.
-
Top of the Morning to you Aelin... I remember hearing that in a movie....I think LOLOL

That's the look of all cats when it's that time of the year :tearlaugh: Cats are great deco members of family when we have such decisions to take :tearlaugh:
-
So very true.....
I had boots in my lap and he was transfixed by that boxing cat :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Most of the decorating I did was outside, and in the kitchen, and my Santa Collection in my curios and my christmas Village and small tree in my office....Oz and the Kittens are NOT allowed in the office unless supervised...and even then it's restricted to only one at a time :tearlaugh:
-
Yep, they make quick for one attract the attention and a second goes when it's fully forbidden :tearlaugh: Even cats "in war" can help each other that way.
-
So I've found out. :tearlaugh:
-
If it keeps wiggling, Cats WILL go for it! LOL! I watched Mogwai following one color of light as it 'chased' its other same color lights around the window. Till he got used to it. The color was RED. Hm.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on they will be serving up a fine beef stew with all the fixings, tater wedges and cornbread with bacon in it
-
Morning looks like I need to practice my second amendment rights and get who ever decided to flatten my tire on my truck . The same one I put on Saturday .
-
Good morning!
Noshoba, we had such idiot years ago, I think it was in Paris. He targeted mainly the tires of cars like SUV or jeeps. "For ecology" according to him :sure:
-
Well the issue I am having is same side , different rims , in less than two weeks tires go flat with the truck having never moved.
-
Nosh I hope you catch the sneaky rat and take care of business
-
Well hadn't had a problem where I live in the 5 + years I have been here. Landlord had cut back all the overgrown landscaping, clearing the fence. Now the little rodents broke the fence and use our yard as a cut through. Was there when they broke it. Fatass tried to jump it and busted his nads and the fence. Of course I laughed .
-
:thumb_up: for Noshoba got to have something to :tearlaugh:
Because tires going flat when it hasn't moved is rubbish
-
Well bought an inflator and got enough air in it to get to tire place I grabbed it from. Somfone had cut the valve stem creating a slow leak since had other tire in back of truck still had them check it. Same thing.
-
Good grief the things people do and to what purpose is the real puzzler, well at least for me it is ...
For a moment it looked like we might have been in store for a wet Christmas as yesterday weather was mostly rain followed by drizzles, with an early evening spate of rain :rainy: however according to the weather weenies it is only going to be cloudy or partly cloudy as they say .. why not partly sunny :ummm: ... whatever ... high in the 70's lows in the 50's guess we will see how that one pans out for them.
-
as i said J will be swimming on Christmas day but then this northeasterly breeze needs to change direction
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny day, but when the sun started to show himself, it was only 10°C (14°F) here :shiv:
Around midday, 2 species of black birds (1 was crows) were in several trees for a meeting. And when I say meeting, it was trully that. The little specie was calm, just waiting. Several of the bigger specie birds made hear their voices until the late birds come from the hill! They were welcomed by even more voices, kind of "where were you? What did you do to be late?", because after they arrived it was a sudden silence :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all....I'm cutting it close...it's 2 minutes before noon here.
YIKES...You were colder where you are at that time then I was here in Wisconsin. We woke up to 16 Degrees....and right now it's 21 degrees....so it's not much of a rise in temps LOL.
Just got in from filling up the bird feeders and was damn glad that's all I had to do...Brrrrrrrr
Well, got all my clinic appts caught up yesterday....I'm still alive....and yes...it was an all day affair. One test after another...then wait...
Today I'll be finishing up the gift wrapping....and as mentioned...the daughter wraps like the guys wrapping their fish at the fish markets.....So I do it all.
So I'll be taking a brief tour and might get back in later on if all goes well.
Now....where's my coffee.... :java: ahhhhh...Good stuff Fafnir....
-
We are in a valley, finally not so far from Massif Central. I guess it's the reason, even if the temperatures are supposed to be better in those mountains since yesterday or the day before. Either the forecast weather was wrong (surprise surprise...) or there is a shift in the weather.
I know in Belgium they had better temperatures than us.
-
Whee slowly making headway on all the christmas cooking. Just put the strawberry and chocolate chip cheese cake in the fridge to set and later I'll make up the jelly topping for it.
Cooks helper is currently dealing with the dishes so I can choc dip the truffles, make some cookies and bake the ham :cheer:
-
That all sounds YUMMY YUMMY FOR THE TUMMY TUMMY....
-
That all sounds YUMMY YUMMY FOR THE TUMMY TUMMY....
Oh very and tomorrow I will be making the smoked chicken salad, the potato salad, mozzarella olive pesto skewers and the brandy snaps lol :hubbahubba:

Another cold day, but still better than yesterday.
-
Good Morning to all....whoever the All is...but I see a few All's in here, so Good Morning you All's....
Like your new Signature Fafnir? One more change before Christmas and then I have to find New Year ones. During our change our gif Castle was demolished so now I have to improvise until I can figure out another solution LOLOL.....
Got to go out ONE LAST TIME for Christmas items...but this time for Ozzy and the Kittens Christmas Stockings... Last year we found one all made up for Oz... but this year we couldn't find any...they are probably made up in China and are sitting on a cargo ship outside of LA LOLOLOL. But We can make our own... Then we are DONE. I finished ALL of the wrapping yesterday....
Now to see what is what in here with :java: in hand....
-
Nemesis has made it to 500+ posts...You can congratulate her HERE (https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24677.0) and you can also put some suggestions up for her New site name....
-
signature is great
-
This all was here but was writing code. Those are very cool signatures. Unusually quiet today.
-
Calm before the storm maybe?
-
I just got back a short while ago from the final phase of Christmas shopping...and now I'm officially broke :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
I've been bouncing all over the place in here Sir Knight. Still housecleaning and chatting at the same time. Sometimes that confuses me....but for the most part I remain somewhat sane....
And the coffee is damn good :java: Ahhhhhh
-
signature is great
Glad you like it....One more change on Christmas Eve...and then I'll hunt for some New Years ones....I thought I'd miss my personal Gif Collection but I found a few sites that are safe for linking gifs until I figure out how to get my collection operating again without it taking up space...it is BIG LOLOL
-
I really liked your description, Aelin, of the parliament of (black) birds. And between Fafnir and Dreamer, I'm glad that I'm some distance from the kitchen. :heeheehee:
-
Well folks...I'm out of here until tomorrow....Been a long day and the caffeine high is wearing off :tearlaugh:
-
would be many good things to eat for sure Sir Knight
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried pork chops with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Morning and a slightly early Merry Christmas to those on wrong side of the dateline.
-
Aye; and a Merry Christmas to you all as well should I not be back before then. Waiting for my lift to go get groceries and then it's off to slip and slide through the snow and ice. Supposed to get nice later on and a wet Christmas for sure. 5 degrees ensures melt. Guess I better get on with wrapping Ed and his wife's gift. He'll be here in a half an hour.
-
Unfortunately will not be going home as planned so will just enjoy a quiet time and hopefully go sometime next week and at least see my sister.
-
wishing you all an early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Nosh enjoy the peace and quiet time PDG be careful with the shopping and going out in the slip and slide stuff
-
Good morning and :merryxmas: :feliz:
I'm here between 2 sessions in the kitchen. Cats weren't too much worried by the season this year (at least the younger was abandonned the second time during Christmas season). Even Puce (the younger) has suddenly realized during the last hour there is something happening, because she is very excited and can't sleep.
-
Good Morning to all.....
Yes, I'm early today. Got most of what is needed to get done...done. Oz, Henrietta, Puss Puss and Boots are raising hell already but that's fine...they haven't broken anything and so far haven't gotten into that much trouble.
Finally done with the shopping and wrapping. Just got to prep the ham tonight so all I'll have to do is pop it in the oven tomorrow morning.
Wish I could get a wee bit of your snow PDG....We are already at 40 degrees and will hit a high of 49 degrees today. Keep in mind what yesterdays temps were....BELOW FREEZING at this hour of the morning..... :thud:
Anyway...Got a lot to do today so I better get started.... Love your Holiday Icon Aeiln....Way cute...
-
Sorry to hear about your cancelled trip Noshoba. Hope you can connect with your sister next week
-
And Merry Christmas to all that are already Celebrating the day..... :glittery:
-
Thank you TL.. Went to get the tires this morning and almost didn't get rhem. They were shutting the Tire Center and putting them on the floor. They are slammed. Already had decided not to let them put tires on last night. But they got them to me . I am guessing because of a call from corporate.
-
My son's kittens are here and this morning got to explore the basement. As it has quite a few running computers, they spent most of their time in that area. They've also inspected the bookcases. I guess they're more literate than I thought.
Merry Christmas, Attic!

Merry Christmas, Attic!
They are a curious lot.... The other morning I heard a lot of meowing and discovered that Henrietta (the female of the group) jumped onto my washer and fell behind it and the dryer...and couldn't find a way out....don't know how long she was there....but she's never gone near the washer or dryer again. And this morning Boots decided he'd try his hand at it and jumped onto the washer...but didn't like it and jumped off LOLOL....
For small critters they sure in the hell can jump high...geeeezzzzz....I don't remember Ozzy doing that....
And Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend....
-
Take care with washer, or even dryer. I have a cousin who had one opening on the front. One day, she heard meows coming from the bathroom, room where she was. Suddenly, looking the window of the machine she saw the kitten was inside, with outfits... and the program had started. He was lucky it was only the beginning!
Now, Henrietta can have called immediately. She is young, it was an unknown location inside the "safe house", and Daddy was surely listening :winks:
-
Well, it's time to go for me. Once again :merryxmas: :tree: I'll be back here tomorrow.
And keep an eye on Rendo if you like their Advent Calendar. They haven't yet updated today.
-
You enjoy Aelin.....and Hugs to you and your Mom...and the Kitty Klan....Enjoy your meal...and
MERRY CHRISTMAS......
:xmastree:

By gosh it IS morning and so far...so good. Another Christmas has come and gone....and the winding down begins.....and then comes the "Taking down of Decorations" part..... I just may keep them up till Spring....but I say that every year....and it's never happened :tearlaugh:
I hope all had a Marvelous Christmas....
Tis a cold morning compared to yesterdays temps....

Hi TL it is a nice morning here warm little breeze birds are singing

The ritual is to keep the decorations until the Kings Cake is passed. Well this year ou are lucky, it's next Sunday :tearlaugh:

Trying for find a good one for Fafnir now.... Hey Fafnir...what breed of dog is Molly?
-

Believe me...I typically keep them up till the middle of January...or May...depending on the mood. But I got all of these little furry critters who love my office and can't go in there because I have the front window all decorated...So I'm thinking Next Sunday will work fine...Depending on the weather. If it's cold...I don't mind...if it's windy and snowy....Forget it :tearlaugh:
-
Inside decos don't depend of the weather :iminnocent:
Be back tomorrow guys!
-
Shhhhhh.....don't tell them that.......
Enjoy Enjoy.....

Molly is cocker spaniel malteese and king charles spaniel all togather
-
Damn...I don't think I'll find a gif for that mix :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
But I'll look....In the meantime...you're the Java King....whoooohoooo
-
Definitely a Heinz 57 Fafnir. Should be interesting trying to find even a close one.
Well, have survived another Christmas. Everybody got pretty much what they wanted. Was going to get ALiene an IPad but then she had to go and buy a Pad for herself. Talk about a comedy of errors. I originally decided to keep said Ipad. Problem . . . . IPad is Apple, and I'm more partial to Android. The pad she bought was Android. And she's more used to Apple. So we swapped. It apparently was the 'droid I was looking for.
And, on that note, time to get to playing . . . . :glittery: Ya'll. Meanwhile, time for some of the goodies that Fafnir's got just waiting to get scarfed. :java:
-
Sounds like a great trade. I was so busy yesterday I don't even remember half of what I got LOLOL....Will have to check that out later on. Oh wait...I do remember two things I got....Battery operated Heated Gloves...with RECHARGEABLE Batteries.... The Grandson knows what Gramps likes LOLOLOL...and the Great Granddaughters got me a pair of speakers for my computer.......
Hope everyone enjoyed their day...

mollys cute thanks
-
Mornin Fafnir and all. Hope the weekend went well for everyone. I got a bluetooth earpiece for Christmas. Never owned such a thing as I've never owned a cell phone. How have I not used one of these things before? Best Christmas gift I've received in years. Simple things amuse simple minds and after a few C&Cs I'm pretty simple.
-
Good morning, PDG. I'm still twitchy about battery powered devices. I really don't like the cords and all the stupid stuff that happens with them. What I don't like is having the battery die because I watched too much of something without being mindful of needing a recharge.
-
Good morning!
Here it's the period for the Hobbit trilogy, then LOTR trilogy the coming weekend :iminnocent:
-
Hi, Aelin. When my children were younger, I'd occasionally sing the Dwarves' song while I was moving dishes around:
"Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates-
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bawl;
Pound them up with a thumping pole;
And when you've finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll !
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
So, carefully! carefully with the plates!"
but inserting their names rather than Bilbo's. :heeheehee: :shrug:
-
And yet children like to break a lot sometimes :tearlaugh:
Don't know if I made the annoucement correctly, so here the topic for a gallery next year

Good Morning to all.....
Wireless Bluetooth earpiece is a super thing PDG. Can be used with any Bluetooth device such as Stereos, Radios, and as you mentioned...more so for Cell Phones. I remember when I first saw someone wearing one and I had no clue what it was. I nudge my daughter and said "Damn....his hearing must be REALLY BAD in that ear...look at the size of that hearing aid" I was wondering why she started laughing her ass off...and she told me what it was...
Unfortunately I can't use one. I had a Mastoidectomy on my right ear and if I had the bluetooth device in the left ear...folks would think I was ignoring them LOLOLOL
Great write up for our new contest Aelin....It should be fun for all.
Glad you like your Molly Fafnir....I have to remember where I found her now LOLOLOL.....One more change up for you and then we'll keep Molly there for you.
Got to take Lorna to a couple of appts at the Clinic today and then to Walmart to pick up her meds....and I'll pick up some of the after Christmas Sale items such as Tags, Wrapping Paper, tape, and bows...Woooohooo
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops and king crab legs with plenty of melted butter for dipping and tater wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Early morning as my wife has to take her ESL student to radiation treatment. Definitely need some coffee. That later menu sounds mighty tempting.
Hope all is well.
-

Like fish of any kind unless it is really fatty. Big fan of shellfish. Lobster doesn't hold the same mystique to ma as it does for some. Cockroaches of the sea. When I was young poor people ate lobster. Rich people ate fake plastic cheese slices and store bought white bread. As kids we were embarrassed to show up in school with shrimp or lobster sandwiches on thick slabs of home made bread for lunch. Embarrassing enough that I know kids that never ate their lunches in view of others. They were too ashamed of their lot in life and dreamed of the day they would have store bought bread or peanut butter. I was one.

Good morning!

Good Morning to all....
Tis a sunny morn but we finally got our Snow yesterday. About 1-1/2" here in Monroe. Most other places North and East of us got more. Just used the shovel to get it cleared....To light and fluffy for the Snow Blower.
Other then that still sorting out files.... But loving it. Finding old treasures...
Hope your day will be a awesome one....
And thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Ahhhhh
-
I wish I can send you a part of our water. We have rain today, and had on a part of yesterday, and evening and night. Our rain more what comes from other locations, we already have a side of the river coming a little on the ground :shrug:
If we do like in 60's (according a wall I saw) we should be safe at our level. Not far away from flood perhaps, but not in.
-
It's been a rough year due to weather for many....
My favorite place has it all cataloged for those who want to view it:
WIKIPEDIA....Weather of 2021 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_of_2021)
And to those that can....it's worth $2.75 to keep this place going...it's a Treasure Trove of information for all.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried red snapper with all the fixings tater wedges and hushpuppies

Good Afternoon.....
My morning was a busy one so Good Afternoon will have to do LOLOL....
And now to see what is who and why is what and when is where with :java: in hand.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir
-
Saw your shadow earlier. Did you be hunted by the nurse?
-
Did someone mention Snapper? (https://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/tiere/g075.gif)
-
I'm thinking Fafnir mentioned snapper LOL...
Yup Aelin...I was on earlier and got busy for a bit putting up some new feeders for the birds and Squirrels that Travis and Mindy and the Great Grands got me for Christmas. I've had Bluejays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Doves, Pigeons and Cats checking them out....
-
Ah, cats wanted to be sure their favorite show will continue. And justly, are the kittens looking at the window with Oz when it's that moment?
-
We've fed the squirrels for years but not voluntarily. This year, we've switch to Flaming Squirrel additive to the bird seed. The birds get more of it now. :thumb_up:
-
I don't know about TL, Aelin, but our visiting grandkittens watch regularly. Who knew French (cat) TV and US (cat) TV were the same?
-
yes Dreamer fried red snapper a tasty fish
-
hi Sir Knight and Aelin
-
Hi, Fafnir. Hope you have better weather than we do. It's been overcast for the last three days, just drizzling enough to make any trip outside wet.
-
yes Dreamer fried red snapper a tasty fish
:hubbahubba:
-
will fix you an extra large platter enjoy
-
will fix you an extra large platter enjoy
Thank you
-
Sir Knight it is warm with a southerly breeze kinda cloudy but no rain was foggy this morning tho
-
your very welcome Dreamer
-
Yup....Cat TV is alive and well Aelin LOLOL....They love it....but don't even TRY to go outside when the doors are open....They like their comfort now...
-
Hi Fafnir, and excellent end of day everyone.

I know I write very tiny in daily life, but not at that point :lostme: :tearlaugh:
I'm glad to learn they don't want to go outside. But take care if they aren't yet "snip snip", could have a temptation at a moment.
-

With the cats around the Squirrels don't really get to eat that much of it. But every now and then there is a brave one....like today...who thought it wouldn't be seen...and the chase was on. Stripes, the female cat (our kittens mother) gave it a great chase. Took her 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get down the tree. By the time she figured it out....The squirrel was long gone....
-
We gradually had more and more hawks in the area as the squirrel population increased. This year, though, a fox has moved in and there are very few mammals of any kind in the backyard.
-
Our cat gave me a fright yesterday, went out first thing in the morning and didn't come back all day. That is most unlike her.
Was getting close to dinner time and I was just getting ready to start really worrying when she showed up
-
We have Hawks also and Owls. BIG owls that like to snatch kittens. My Brother in law has lost many kittens to the owls. Since we are a small burg the bike trail always has wildlife passing on it such as bears, fox, and wolves...
They seldom get into town...but when they do...no one harms them...they take pictures of them and they finally go their way LOLOL I think I put one up in our Attic showing a bear cub right near our Hospital/Clinic. It had it's fame for one day and was never to be seen again...at least not in town LOL...
-

Indeed....as soon as they are old enough that is the first thing on the agenda....
-
wise man you are got Molly done as soon as possible didn't want no puppies
-
young Molly will find other pics
That even LOOKS like a Molly
-
Okay, back now after getting everything settled. Doing a little work on the pad I got from my daughter. Now I know why it only cost her 20.00. It is good for playing music and watching already recorded vids, but that is apparently the extent of it. Can't do any streaming to save its pitiful electronic life. Can't even surf the net with any confidence. Attempted to get on Rendo and it couldn't get past the login for a good bit. One of those Cloud Mobiles. Oh well, won't hurt when I go to upgrade.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be prime rib on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Mornin' all. Just passin' through and wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. May be a bit cloudy trying to find the new Coffee Shop in the am tomorrow.
-
Good morning! It's sunny here, but it's like a Spring day in fact :hypno:

-
Stay safe everyone. I had a busy busy day so this is my first chance to get in here.
I'm home for the night now.
Nothing special....not even sure if I'll make it to Midnight....NOT would be my guess LOLOL....
and now to check and see what is what...and who is why....and where is when....with :java: in hand...
-
Started the changing of the calendars in my place and the one that tracks my library showed only 21.4 books per month increase :tearlaugh:
-
And now my sig is back :yippee:
