Happy New Year!

Happy New Year M-C and the rest of the asylum as well.
Sorry to hear of your loss TL. Sad way to end the year.
Fireworks in a blizzard. After a month of rain it turned to snow at supper time and stayed just cold enough to keep it around. Watched them last night from the balcony as they set them off along the lake shore in multiple places now.
C and C for me. Set the big year end back up in motion for the network. It'll take a couple of hours. I hate house cleaning. Have a good day everybody and I'll see you later when I need a rye refill.
-
Happy New Year. Plenty of fireworks and gunfire all night lol.
-
Happy New Year was a loud one didn't upset Daisy at 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 steaks on the grill with Cajun rice blackeyed peas and hog jowl and tater wedges
-
Fun was driving back friend's house, people were shooting fireworks across the streets. Not upwards. So was interesting.
-
Yeah; there seems to be a lot of that kind of thing. That's one of the reasons they moved the fireworks to the Lakeshore and split them up. Cut the crowd sizes to something more manageable after having crowds of kids launching Roman Candles and the like at each other, and at the cops trying to keep order. The news guys love it. Lots of fire and colour bouncing off people and cars to show on their web sites. Nothing like fools and fireworks to get those smart phones filming.
-
Have to remember. Here anyone can get them. So always being shot off from any place
-
Good morning and Happy New Year!
Cats ended the year by fighting several times during the evening. Crazy babies.
But they started the year without fights almost until the end of the morning. And even, it was only Eleni bitting a little Harmonie in the neck but she managed before I could help her. And Eleni didn't take his "I'm coming again and again because I'm angry" attitude.
Hips, too bad M-C is no longer to Vegas or you could have met.
-
Happy New Year with the restart of the thread.

Happy New Year

:ny4: Another New Year! :mwah:

Good Morning to all....and :ny-clock: Happy New Year.... I didn't make it till Midnight. Getting home the other night rather late....and then having to deal with all we had to deal with....I was ready for bed last night at 10PM... I've seen enough New Years specials that it's become SOS, just a different year LOL.
Hope all had a good night no matter what you did.....
Thanks PDG.....Our snow ended late yesterday so it must have traveled to your area. Had to clear off the vehicle yesterday before I took off to pick up our Chinese food at our one and only Chinese Restaurant. Had around 2" of snow on it. Love Pork Fried Rice and they have excellent Egg Rolls.
No fireworks around our area....at least I didn't hear any...and the cats and kittens didn't come flying in and jumping on top of me....(they do that when they hear unfamiliar sounds)....
Not going to do much today...did go around and unplugged all of the Christmas Lights inside....and went outside and unplugged all the lights in 20 degree temps wearing snowboots and PJ's...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
Hope all have a most wonderful day. Got to figure out how to do the write up on this months theme....

The only critters that "Fight" at my place are Cali and our Newbie "Boo Bear" and it's not really fighting since Cali is twice his size and can whoop his ass in no time....but doesn't..... It doesn't last long since Cali ups and leaves when she's had enough of Boo Bear. LOLOL
-
Good Morning... nothing still on the books for work today. Interesting read through the new releases over at Rendo and Daz. Starting to wonder if the vendors are starting to react to what's been happening in all the app stores.
-
Good morning happy attic folk and a joyful resolution amnesia day. I hope everyone had a good holiday and are ready for another year ahead. Personally; I think I'll just take a rye, forget the coffee, and go back to bed.
-
Good morning!
It's a grey day with sometimes a bit of rain. We wait to see if forecast weather is right about the low temps for Friday and days after. But I still wonder where they are looking for the "normal temperatures of season". Indeed, they are pretending that -2 to -4°(in Celsius) are really low low for the season. Hum, sorry the other years we can have lower and it's "normal". Even the Doubs (an area of France) can go very low and is nicknamed the little Siberia.
TL, cool new sign with baby cats.
-
Good Morning,
It will be a busy day today need to prepare this house for cold weather, it starts this week out here. This place is 15 degrees colder than Las Vegas, and it took awhile for my body to adjust to it. I think if I was back in some of the places where others live I would be a stiff popsicle. The only way I found to combat this is to keep moving until the stiffness goes away.
Good Day to all.
-
Good Morning to all,
A chilly 23 degrees...but it could be worse so not saying anything more about the weather.
I saw in the news that Japan was rock and rolling with Earthquakes and tsunamis. Mother Nature is getting fed up with us....
Thanks Aelin....had to do some hunting for one that I liked...Some awesome places out in the Net World that are loaded with gifs. And I do search until I find one I like LOLOL.
Morning PDG....When you have a house full of hellions, going back to bed is not an option for me....but I may take up drinking again LOLOL.
Morning Noshoba.....To early for me to go anywhere on the net except our Coffee Shoppe...But will venture out to see what is what after my coffee high.... :java: Ahhhhhh
Was going to start taking down decorations but decided I did enough undecorating today...I unplugged all of the decorations inside and outside and I'm worn out already.
And now grabbing a :java: and taking a stroll to see what is what and who is where and what is why.....Ahhhhhh
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Yep on Japan, they started the year with already more than 155 earthquakes, big ones and replicas. It stricked until East of Russia. I guess the Korean peninsula was then hitted too.
-
Morning Fafnir......
Thanks for the refill.... :java: ahhhhh......Hows the pup doing today? Let him know I said woof woof...
-
Daisy is a pup full of energy we usually close the doors and let her run around the house to play and wear off some energy then she calms down and starts learning the things she needs to know and growing too
-
Cool Beans.....Glad she is doing great for you both and that she's keeping you entertained. Give her a "woof woof" from me.
-
will do
-
Coffee Black sweet, With milk no sugar Please!
Aelin, I do hope you are safe, I read about the earthquake, the news has warned about huge waves as we have had a couple of earthquakes close Australia.
As you all are getting up I am crawling into bed
Night All
-
Have a good nights rest KrisBai.....Another day will be waiting for you....
-
Good (East Coast US) afternoon, Attic.
Greetings to you, KrisBai!
-
Good Afternoon Sir Knight......How goes the day?????
-
hello Sir Knight
-
Greetings, TL and Fafnir. Working today a little more than over the weekend. Excited to hear Daisy news.
-
Try not to work to hard....you still have to unwind from the Holidays....or you'll end up like this :ny-fathertime:
-
Christmas and the day after I only worked a little bit. :thissmall:
And that emoji is not far off from how I look... :ifonly:
-
Try not to work to hard....you still have to unwind from the Holidays....or you'll end up like this :ny-fathertime:
That looks just like me, silver top, with a cane. I may have to steal him..
-
Yeah; I look and feel a lot like that myself.
Not getting any warmer around here either M-C. Rye in the morning coffee works for that. Warms one up along with the coffee and lubricates worn out joints.
-
Morning. Cold here as well nice balmy 30 in the South. Seems I am going to be giving Rendo a little phone call this morning before I starting blasting them on the social media sites I am a part of.
-
Good morning!
It was a cloudly day, turned into a sunny/windy/still threatening clouds day. At least a lot of weather tastes are shared altogether :tearlaugh:
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
Another day ..... Another ....ummmm......Day.......
I've got one wired kitten this morning....BooBear is trying to raise hell with EVERYONE....and no one wants to play at this hour LOLOL....I've got a feeling he'll be swatted by one of them sooner then later.
A not so bad day outside....Temps are below freezing but bearable. No winds today which makes it much better. All outside critters are fed and are now playing in the snow....
No big plans for the day....though hardly any plans are made by me but by every one else... :thud: I was getting all settled for the night last night when the Daughter says she had to pick up her meds at Walmart. Luckily for her I had to pick some up also...though I normally let them sit there for a bit...
Other then that.....Hope all have a marvelous day today.....Going to make a tour with :java: in hand.....
-
Scallops wrapped in bacon. Damn; I love scallops.
-
Ahh yes. My favorite bacon wrapped scallops in garlic butter. Got frowns from ex's family when I ordered that instead Maine lobster. Her family reunion was in Maine. Sorry lobster is just bug meat to me lol.
-
Growing up on the East Coast there was a lot of lobster. Cockroaches of the sea as we called them. Never said that near the tourists though. Had to sell them lobsters after all.
And a good cockroach free morning to the lobster lovers and haters. A c and C for me this fine chilly morn.
-
Morning park. I just never found what was special about the taste to me lol. I will just stick with scallops and crabs. Although never get them here. For a port city Charleston's seafood restaurants are lacking in the "good" department.
-
Good morning!
-
Hi all!
I offer you all my best wishes for this year 2024.
Happiness, healings, various and varied victories, simply life with a big L. May serenity be yours, may the celestial light accompany you with its protection, may courage always be your ally, may your year be punctuated regularly of joys and magnificent synchronicities.
Happy New Year !
-
I also wanted to add a big thought for the beautiful Oz.
I was saddened to learn of his physical disappearance. But I am certain that he watches over his brothers and sisters and that they see him near them.
At the risk of shocking some of you, my missing cats, I see them, I smell them, I hear them. Our companions are always near us.
Have a nice day!
-
Good Morning to all....and it's a warm 24 degrees today......That's called positive thinking....I'm going to stay warm one way or another LOL...
I do NOT like lobster.....After spending many summers hauling up lobster pots as a teen and then binding their damn claws with elastic bands and getting pinched MANY times...Nope...Not for me...Not even as revenge.
My mother loved that she got hers free since our boss allowed us to take a couple home from time to time....
I like crab, scallops, quahogs, and my favorite...clam cakes.... I miss them all....and yes, there is a Red Lobster in Madison...but it's make believe...."Catch of the Day" LOLOLOL.....Riggggghhht.....
Hope all have a great day today....Not sure what my plans are yet...they are never made by me...others seem to have control of that :thud:
-

That was lovely earwenM.....and I wish the same to you....I couldn't have added anything to that except for "Hugs...from my family, including the furry ones, to yours"
And thank you for the beautiful words for our Ozzy....and like you....we know Oz is still with us because the Kittens sense him as do Lorna and I...and Lorna has heard his meow when all the other critters were in my room. They heard it also.
I moved out all of the Christmas boxes from my closet because I heard a meow and thought one of the kittens was stuck in there...but not one of the kittens were in there....Oz is watching over us for sure.
-
Mornin to you all pots are on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be brisket and link sausage with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning. Today my refrigerator, washer and dryer will be delivered. Looking forward to having fresh foods again. Powered eggs and canned good are ok, but I think fresh is better. Clean clothes are good too.
-
Sounds like the Army. Glad you are getting set in.
-
And a Good Morning to all. Skipping groceries for a change. Still a lot of various foodstuffs around yet. A C and c for me and I hope everyone has a great day and end of the shortened work week.
-
Good morning!
We were supposed to start the cold time today, but suddenly forecast weather said it's for the Monday. Maybe they realized it was indeed rain and not snow? :tearlaugh:
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of C&C double shot of Creek
-
glad the moving in is going well M C
-
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 snapper with all the trimmings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Good Morning Fafnir....
I'll be needing a pot or two of :java: today....a wee bit chilly ....finally. It started out at 29 Degrees and now it's 21 degrees....but will climb back up to 30 during the day. Roller Coaster Weather....gotta love it.
Good Afternoon to you Aelin...how has the day been going with the furry family? The clan here are missing Ozzie for sure...even the little Boo Bear. And as I'm typing this Boo Bear jumps on my lap...none to gently...
Glad things are going smoothly for you MC.....Only time I ever had powered eggs was in Boot Camp and on the Sub....Not bad...but not great either LOLOL....
Had no plans on going out today PDG but it seems that I'll be talked into it. Got hints hanging on the fridge door from Lorna letting me know what she's out of :thud:
Hope all have a grand day....time to take a tour to see what is what and who is why and what is where with :java: in hand...
-
Hi! They are fine, Twins sleeping paws in paws not far away from me (they are on my bed). Eleni is dreaming somewhere to the next "joke" he will do - to the Twins, or to something. He has his moments where he calms down, but still few moments completely mad.
Oz was the first in your home, and he welcomed everyone of them. So even if Boo didn't knew him for a long time, it was enough. I don't reminnd when Boo entered your home; but Twins were only since 5 months at home when Puce left, and they loved her. So for Boo, the "love Oz" was maybe quickier.
-
Ozzie was easy to get along with. He welcomed them all and never ever got mean with them. Though some might have thought he was torturing them by cleaning them to death LOL....He would grab hold and lick them from head to toe...
He'll be coming back home soon. Lorna had him cremated and got him a beautiful Urn engraved with His name, nicknames and date of his passing. Since he was a rescue there is no clue as to his date of birth...everything was "Approximate" when figuring out his age.
-
It's rare with rescued furry babies to know things. For Puce, she was around 1 year old in January 2008. It's all they knew (but an idiot written her in the official document to be born in 2005 :thud: ) I made her birthday each year at the date I took her at home, January 10th.
For Giroflée, we knew only she was born somewhere in October 2005. She had papers when she was abandonned directly at the shelter (at least her owner was enough responsible to offer her that), but not the exact date.
-
I agree. We celebrate Anniversaries more so then Birthdays. The dates we took them in is the date of their Anniversary.
-
Molly was 8 weeks when she was brought home and 10 years when she went to heaven
-
And she had a wonderful life with you both. Loved it when you would call and she was in the car with you while waiting for your wife to get done with her appointments...She would yip at certain things and truly let you know when she had to go....or wanted to play.... And I'm sure this new pup will be taking rides with you also when it learns certain things....not going to mention one of them specifically LOLOL
-
yep on the rides but long ways to go on that
-
Good morning everyone...it seems like the storms have finally stopped for a wee while...and we have power
-
That's good news for sure.....Hope all else goes great....
-
We have actually had the sun shine today...though the salt water pool lost all of it's salt by the overflowing...
-
Glad to see you again sanbie. I was getting concerned with all the weather you folks have been having. Fire and flood. Starting to sound like last summer up here.
-
And a fine good morning, happy weekend to all. Hope everyone has recovered from the holidays.
-
Good morning from under the rain!
Perhaps cold will come for real. This morning, when he had the occasion, Nenya asked to be on me. Usually, he does that more on the evenings. And when another occasion came later, he asked again. I bet now he had too much of me because he is resting in another room :tearlaugh:
-
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 chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Welcome back Sanbie. Good morning Fafnir. Think I made way too much hoppin john for New Year's lol. If I had a bigger freezer would just freeze it up for next year.
-
Glad to see you again sanbie. I was getting concerned with all the weather you folks have been having. Fire and flood. Starting to sound like last summer up here.
Yeah pdg...it's been horrendous...tornados...rain...rain and more rain...wind...and believe it or not heatwaves...my daughter said it's like the end of the world is starting...
-
Good Morning to all,
Not to bad outside this morning. It's still snowing but we'll be getting less then 1" and that's about it. It's already 28 degrees so it's going to be a heat wave today LOLOL....
Morning Sanbie....What a weather and fire roller coaster ride you folks have had....Glad to see you safe and sound...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Got my BIG cup this morning so the pots will need to be refilled many times LOL
Morning PDG....I still have to undecorate....but it's not April yet :java:
And a good morning to you also Noshoba....I'm sure you'll figure out what to do with the leftover Hoppin John.
Got to keep track of that storm heading to the East Coast...Rhode Island is in the path...but not sure if it's going to be the snow path or the rain path.... My Brother wasn't feeling well so he went to get it checked out....He's got covid and they want him to quarantine himself for 5 days. Sad thing is...he got all the shots...even this years "New and improved"...He said he doesn't feel all that bad at all...just sinus problems. But if something comes up and this storm is as bad as they say...he may have a problem getting anywhere.
As for me....Today I'll get what needs to get done in here and then start sorting out what I have on my external hard drives. Some stuff is extinct and can't be used on NOTHING anymore so why keep it....but then a tiny voice in my head says...."You never know if you'll need it" Got to learn to ignore that voice....or not LOLOL
-
Good Morning,
It is a cool 35 degrees F outside and looks like rain in the afternoon out here. Thinking about getting curtains privacy is a good thing. I have a trash bag tape to the window cell right now, some how it is not that appealing.
Hope everyone has a great day.
-
Yup...Curtains are probably a good idea LOL.... Did you get all of you stuff moved in?
-
I have been reading these posts and enjoyed them wanting to add my 5cents worth. It is 12:52am Sunday morning, woke up feeling warm, with a touch of sweat. 19c outside and no air movement, with a prediction of 37c today, I rent a room well 2 rooms form the home owner but no aircon in my rooms, just fans. so they are now on moving the air around to make it feel cooler.
-
Yup...Curtains are probably a good idea LOL.... Did you get all of you stuff moved in?
No I need to go back to Las Vegas to get a few odds and ends at my sister's house. Plus bring boxes over so she can move too.

I'll settle for my Cold temps....You can dress up for the cold....you can only undress so far and be legal for the heat....unless you live in a nudist colony...
It's fun in the coffee shop....this is where we get to know each other better, tell each other of the daily day to day antics...and just have conversation and some fun. So welcome and have a cup of :java:
-
I use to work Up North, The Pilbara, 12 hrs shift 5 to 5 both day shifts and nights, temps up there was mostly in the 40's c in summer. so back in Perth with mid 30's c is no so bad, but yes, give me winter, except it plays havoc with my knees (arthritis).
-
Arthritis is NOT fun...That's for sure....
-
Starting to get there.
-
Good morning everyone...
Love your new avatar Noshoba.
-
Morning/evening Sanbie. Sad part is I made one after that was so much better than that one lol. Too big to use though.
-
Well since I never saw it...this one is awesome!
-
I will post it in the gallery later. Tried earlier but file type issue.
-
I look forward to seeing it...

Here you go sanbie.
-
She is stunning Noshoba...but I still like your avatar one better...maybe because I saw that one first...
-
Morning park. I just never found what was special about the taste to me lol. I will just stick with scallops and crabs. Although never get them here. For a port city Charleston's seafood restaurants are lacking in the "good" department.
That's weird too, being on the Atlantic and the whole East coast appears to be home to the best populations of Blue Crabs. Just a bit up the coast from you is the Crab Capitol of the World ((I think!)).... Baltimore MD! It sure ain't hard to cook them things right either!
-
Morning McG. I said restaurants lol.. Now some of the street vendors, when you can find them, aren't bad. Place has become way too focused on tourists and the carpetbaggers.
-
Used to love buying a couple big bags of steamed Blue Crabs, a case of beer, a case of pop and the days newspapers. The paper made for disposable table cloths and the rest became history in nuthin flat! :D Me, The girlfriend, her family and a few of their best friends all filled up two picnic tables/benches and that was a great Sunday afternoon!
-
Hello and a belated Happy New Year wish for everyone here in Fantasy Attic! I had a great time the whole holidays. Ate plenty of great foods like Turkey and Dressing, Cranberry Sauce, gravy, macaroni casseroles, various vegetables, dinner rolls, punkin pie as well as candied yams. I had one big plate of food for Christmas dinner, and two other meals later! I just can't eat like I used to. But that is a good thing! LOL! Even the young couple was 'good' for two weeks! Visited with all the family here and we all enjoyed that a lot.
Finally got my Diagnostic Fitting for the new prosthetic leg, and I get to pick it up this Wednesday!!! Yaaaay! This is just an extension of Christmas gifts to me!
Sounds like all of you had pretty good Holidays too, and I am so glad to hear it.
Dan, I am bummed out by the sad news, Ozzie passing. Like you hear Ozzie, I will sometimes hear old Patches, Fizzgig, Baby, Mister and now Tattoo talking to me from time to time. To me this has gone on my whole life. I do see Tattoo dashing around the house chasing Mogwai, in the golden light of morning and evening. And the odd times like right now, Moggie is chasing HIM around! :D
IT happens, unbidden, I am used to it, it is just part of Life, it seems.
-
Good morning everybody. Unless you have to shovel of course. Had some snow last night and today as do those along the East down South.
TL; the decorations come down today and get packed away for another year. Normally it would be yesterday, Old Christmas; but the late wife's birthday was the 7th so I had to keep them up a day late for her and I still do it out of habit.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/what-is-old-christmas-day-an-n-l-history-enthusiast-explains-1.7076570
Good to see you McG, Happy New Year.
-
Good morning!
It's raining today but if the temps decide to go down, we could end with snow. I hope so!
-
Glad you are doing good McG....Sounds like you had a great time....just don't overdo it.... Great news about the "Leg" pickup....I'm sure it will take getting some use to...just don't do what my grandmother did...put it in the corner and stayed in the Wheelchair 90% of the time.
And thanks about Ozzy...He was a good boy and we loved him very much...but I'm sure he's found a spot to take his 6 hour naps in peace...and every now and then he lets us know he's all right. For real....
PDG....My decorations are still up but unplugged....I take the stuff down a little at a time to keep me occupied LOLOL...plus I like looking at them. And the kittens did not bother any of them....too much ....
I did get curious about one item I read while looking at that link about Old Christmas Day....Nalujuk Night So I found this (https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&ei=UTF-8&p=Nalujuk+Night&type=E215US1067G0#id=1&vid=cf121f8ace4460c168b9697d7eda6dda&action=click)
Different to say the least....
Morning Aelin and Noshoba....Aelin....We are suppose to finally get some "Real Snow" next week instead of this piddling 1" and dusting stuff. Not sure if I'm excited about it or dreading it...we shall see LOLOL
-
I was back to edit my message. It's finally snowing and raining and snowing. Eleni was interested the first 10 seconds he saw the snow. Perhaps bigger snowflakes would keep his attention - or if teh ground becomes white. Nenya and Harmonie looked longer than him. Now Harmonie is in my lap.
-
All the critters except for Boo Bear are asleep. I've got Boo Bear in my lap trying to help me type this...such a cutie pie...and purrrrs like a jet engine. And as I was typing this...Calie comes strolling in...looking for some hugs...and a treat or two LOLOL
-
And the boys are looking for middle and big snowflakes now :happydance: Eleni loves those coming very near the window.
And before I send the message, Harmonie joins them.

Free entertainment :-)

Good morning everyone...hope everyone is keeping well...
-
Doin' fine sanbie and I hope the same for you.
-
Hi Sanbie....Still packing away decorations...SLOWLY.....which means it will be done by April as predicted....
Those were some cool vids PDG....My friend Newfie Girl (Doreen) told me about this..it's been a "LONG" while since I visited her but we keep in touch on FB....
-
My granddaughter packed all of ours away...gone in about 2 hours...young bones sure make a difference lol
-
yea they do
-
Morning everybody. Cold, snow fluffies, usual crap. A Coffee and Copper Creek if I may please Fafnir. Time to start trying to get a date to put the decorations away for another year. I really dread descending into the black Hell they call The Basements.
-
Hands PDG a steamin mug of C&C
-
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 gator and sausage gumbo with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning.. Looks like we are about to get ugly tomorrow. Been getting red weather alerts since yesterday. Rare to see extreme being used in the warnings. Have no desire for my work truck to make like the flying nun.
-
Good morning! Thank you for the triple hot cocoa Fafnir, it's very useful.
We had less than 1centimeter of snow between yesterday and this morning. Time to time, very tiny snowflakes come. On the streets, everything is already melt down. On the sidewalks, it's good to walk in the snow!
That we had snow during the night wasn't a surprise, between the aspect of sky and the behavior of cats. It's the first time in a while that Nenya played with one of the bell balls, specially before we sleep.
Eleni is coming back to a crazy behavior in this beginning of afternoon. We'll see if the snow accepts to be back stronger.
PDG, I like that song by McKennitt. Have one of her best off at home.
We have removed decorations today. It was easy, only decorations on the windows, electrostatic stikers. Harmonie was upset to see them removed, I think she understood the celebrations are over :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to All,
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
Looks like Mother Nature is going to be messing with a LOT of us for the next few days. Got High wind and snow warnings for tonight and tomorrow...but they are not sure about Wednesday...which is not surprising for Weather Forecasters (yes, I'm being facetious)....
This storm goes hand in hand with the weather coming up across the nation it seems. Some getting high winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and others blizzard like conditions... But.....we haven't had many weather events in Wisconsin this Winter Season....so let 'er rip....I planned on making a trip to Wally World today so I'll gather up some JIC items also.
PDG....Be careful in the dungeons....
Morning Noshoba....My Brother in RI was out getting supplies yesterday..they are going to have a double whammy...Heavy snow THEN Heavy Rain......
Sanbie, I let my daughter help me lug the Christmas Containers to the shed...but NEVER let her pack the stuff away....I've learned that the hard way :tearlaugh:
Morning Aelin....Our critters are being entertained by the birds on the birdfeeders...and watching the outside tribe sitting underneath the bird feeders and playing in the snow. The birds are smart and quick...the lookouts in the tree give them a warning and all flee to the higher branches when the furry ones approach...and then come back to feast when the tribe gives up on the hunt...LOL
-
Snowed in Kingman yesterday and here it was sleeting with rain in the low 30s. The snow dose not last too long and usually melt away by the end of the day. Today just cold with wind and sunny.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
-
Good morning everyone...keep safe and well...
Looks like Mother Nature is going to be messing with a LOT of us for the next few days. Got High wind and snow warnings for tonight and tomorrow...but they are not sure about Wednesday...which is not surprising for Weather Forecasters (yes, I'm being facetious)....
Seems to be world wide TL...scary thought...
Sanbie, I let my daughter help me lug the Christmas Containers to the shed...but NEVER let her pack the stuff away....I've learned that the hard way...
Lol...I told her to pack them all nicely and if any are broken or tangled she has to buy new ones...good girl listened!
-
Good Afternoon M-C.....Now our weather folks are stating we could have up to 12"
Sanbie....You are so right about the weather related incidents being world wide. And other odd things happening like a small earthquake at Mole Lake in Forest County Wisconsin which is way North of us....
-
fault line up there or close by ??
-
Hi y'all! I am so glad I got nowhere to go for a couple days. The wind really started blowing hard, gusts in the 50's, steady 15 to 20 mph. And the SNOW it is blowing around has no chance of sticking anytime soon. Mogwai sits in the window watching the swirls and whirls of snow dance everywhere. And, did I mention it's COLD! Actual is 21°F while wind chill is -1 to +10 F! I saw mention about them Young Bones. True that! Mine sure ain't young any more. Got on a warm flannel shirt plus a new zippered sweater. Finally found one big enough for me. No, actually I have shrunk enough to fit IT! LOL! It's only a 3X, like everything else I wear.

Yeah, we here in Qld have had small earthquakes...which hardly ever happens...when I say small I mean 2.7...
-
Good morning everyone. Waiting for the storm they say is on the way.
I've experienced three earthquakes since I've lived here. All small, 3.2 - 3.5. They never knew there was a fault line through the City till the first one some 20 or so years ago. I probably wouldn't have really noticed them if I didn't live in a tower which started to sway a bit.
-
New Zealand had the most earthquakes...not small ones either...so glad I no longer live there pdg...
-
Morning/evening all . Been through a couple in Virginia that we're in the 5s when I lived there. Yes there really is a fault line there lol. Just waiting for the storms to start rolling in here. No snow but even worse for Charleston...rain. Let's see how bad it floods this time.
-
Good morning!
It's a cold day, going to be colder than this morning or even the night. No track of new snow for the moment.
Forecast weather didn't see coming the 3 cm on Paris and around. Drivers were unable to drive on such amount :tearlaugh:
I experimented twice earthquakes for what I'm aware. Just the 'power' to displace furnitures or just to vibrate them. It was never told on the news, local or beyond. It was were I lived before, and it was people we knew, here and there in town, who experimented it too and talked about their experience.
-
was in California visiting my uncle and went through a couple of small quakes there kinda scary to say the least
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for you this morning and for later on they will be serving up BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
Well, it's started...and they are predicting 12" of snow for us...with high winds....and me not shoveling till it's a little calmer. Sad thing is...it's not the fluffy stuff...it's the back breaking wet stuff.
Since this is our first BIG snow of the season, I'm sure we'll have a lot of "Paris Drivers" also Aelin LOL..
And yes PDG....We will be sharing the storm with you....so be patient...:tearlaugh:
Did get out to feed the outside critters some can food. Not giving them dry food that will turn to mush in no time...and only had the two little ones eating. But then again...they are the two that live in the houses with plenty of straw to keep them dry and warm.
Sanbie and Fafnir....yes, the earthquake, which was a 2.5 magnitude, was near a fault line.
Mother Nature is truly testing us all Noshoba.
And I just came in from shoveling the steps and driveway....This snow is HEAVY....so I do my push shoveling....and no lifting involved....works great. It measured out at 4.75" and still coming down hard. I'm going to go out in a couple of hours and shovel again....this way I'm not busting my.....ummmm....getting to worn out....
-
careful with the wet snow there Luffie
-
starting to get some strong wind here supposed to blow round 50 this afternoon
-
Wet snow for me. Could have kept it to yourself TL. It'll be rain later. I hope. Away from the Lakeshore is a different story. Lots of snow. No rain.
I hear you on the NZ quakes sanbie. There have been a few really big ones. We hear about them for obvious reasons.
-
:rainy: :peek: Lots of Cold Wind Here Also a Gas Explosion Down town O.o Been a Strange New year! :3flower;
-
Well, it appears it is winter in Texas now. 20F this morning, and 38F right now. Wind is calm, was 40-50 and snow everywhere. Now it is just spots in the shade. My day late Christmas present to self was a 12.3" Surface Pro 5th gen bundle. Got the Surface pro, stylus, wireless mouse, and waiting on the Type Cover (tomorrow). But it works great! It be a nice one to have around the house, as BadMoonRYZEN ain't so portable! Hey I can even 'cast' the Surface screen to the 40" TV! :D
-
Quakes. We have had almost nothing at all since Fracking was banned up here. No spontaneous ground fires, no breaking freeways, no gouting flames up out of the kitchen sinks, no homes or businesses suddenly becoming split level(s). Naturally all the energy companies were shifting blame off their works onto everything and everyone else. Hmpfh.
-
Hello PDG! Good to see you too! Happy New Year!
-
I've been shoveling every two hours just so I don't have to tackle 9 tons of wet snow....and it's still coming down....I think we went over the 12" mark....and now the wind is picking up and branches are breaking on my neighbors trees across the street (pine trees) and the lights flickered a couple of times...Should be a interesting night LOL
-

I've still got my Walmart HP rebuilt which I love. It's not for anything but browsing the net, checking EMails, and things like that....maybe a game or two...who knows....The 15" screen is still awesome....But the computer does not cast anything LOLOL...but there were a few times I was tempted to cast it...
We are at 27 degrees but this weekend...the North Pole visits us with it's below ZERO temps. Going to fill the vehicle up tomorrow and get some Heet into it....
-

I saw that in the news this morning on NBC....What a mess....
-
New Zealand had the most earthquakes...not small ones either...so glad I no longer live there pdg...
Its funny that the only time I know about the quakes here is when one of my friends says/posts on FB something about it lol. I have even been known to sleep through one that had friends just a block away falling out of bed and cracking the house foundations :whattodo:
-
Wet snow for me. Could have kept it to yourself TL. It'll be rain later. I hope. Away from the Lakeshore is a different story. Lots of snow. No rain.
You know me....I LOVE sharing with my friends.... Still coming down but light flutters instead of soccer balls....
Doing the shoveling all day saved me from try to shovel 12" of SUPER wet snow all at once. Took less them 1/2 hour each time I went out to shovel. If I waited for the snow to end....I would have taken twice as long due to having to take breaks so the heart wouldn't quit :thud:
I have the Electric SnowJoe but it's not made for this super heavy snow. I've used it on heavy snow and it worked fairly well...and on light snow it's super....but this stuff was like moving a pallet of bricks with a shovel.
-
Good morning everyone...
Dreamer I remember going to walk into the dairy (convenience store) where I worked in NZ and just as I got to the doorway an earthquake hit...next minute I was standing about 3 foot inside the shop watching all the stock falling off the shelves...yep they can be scary things.
-

Cause I have balance issues it often takes me a sec to realise that its not just me going up and down :odd: I've never found them particular worrying but then never been in one big enough to knock stuff off shelves, rattle the crockery and set the lights swinging sure but that was it.
Where about in NZ were you?

growing being a brat but doing good

This reminds me of the Meckering earthquake that happened back in 1968, My first experience of a quake, I was standing in the corner deli (shop) as the items on the wall started dancing I commented to another person in the shop. the shop keeper shouted "earthquake get out" so we are standing on the road outside and a bus stops, the driver asking what is going on. Did not even notice the quake.

Good day to you one and all... Not sure where to post this so I'm gonna just let'er rip here... Not sure if anyone else here has entered Rendo's Christmas Contest but it says we are allowed to advertise our artwork.

The 'quakes' (little tremors I figure) here were just enough to make me feel like I was catching a wave surfing . . . on dry land. I even took the stance, crouching. And went nowhere. LOL! The "Fracking Tremors" just made me notice the house kinda jumped a bit, from a moving wave about 1" high. But that was the whole area acting like the ocean, glass flat then suddenly that little wave passing under ya.
-
Good morning all. Sorry you have to shovel TL. We ended up with rain. Lots and lots of rain. No shoveling, not that I shovel any more. It's quite warm actually 5c @ 5am.
-
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 beef with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Well, still cold temps here, and we had a tiny fall of snow during the night.
-
mite chilly here this morning
-
Good Morning to all,
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir and glad the Bow Wow is doing good.
Morning PDG....I learned to take my time with the shoveling ..... and do it often instead of waiting for it to end. Of course, that doesn't work when the snowfall is at night...I'm thinking I'd piss off a few neighbors if I did that LOLOL....
Surprisingly, the body doesn't feel all that bad this morning...but it's early yet. I am going out a little later and do one final shovel and clear off the vehicle and then gas up for the below 0 temps we'll be getting....
Good Morning McG.....Any plans for the day?
And Good Morning Aelin....Cold here also but about to get a heck of a lot colder....
Thanks for the info Llola....I do think I voted...but I'll take a visit just to confirm that..
-
I checked the radar a moment ago. We are supposed to have snow falling and that since several hours. :whatthe: Hum, so where is it?
-
I never ask that question Aelin....because the answer comes sooner then expected...and in a form which I do not like LOLOL
-
.............
Thanks for the info Llola....I do think I voted...but I'll take a visit just to confirm that..
Thanks thelufias... I appreciate it. :)
-
Good morning everyone...hope you all had a good day/night
-
Sometimes, it's good to protest TL :tearlaugh: Stores were closed with the night coming - and still no snow. But a moment ago, a trunk made a lot of noises to take a slow and go to its top. I opened... and snow is here!
Anyway, I looked better at what radar said for us earlier today. I should have been under snow when leaving home; and snow should have felt 3/4 of the day.
We'll see tomorrow if the snow they promise for the night will come; and the black ice too.
Hi Sanbie!
-
The best forecaster around here is me....I open the door, look outside, and confirm that there is weather.... :tearlaugh:
I spent the day getting ready for the next storm coming Thursday and Friday....Moved that heavy wet snow around to make room for MORE snow LOL.... Then decided to bring all 10 bins inside the house so I can start undecorating. As mentioned...had the outside pretty much done when a few warm days came ... and then went...
-
Hi Sanbie....My day is about done....everyplace that has a muscle is protesting at the moment....Hope your day will be fantastical.....

Good Morning,
Looks like we will have high winds, rain or snow today. Presently it is 37 degrees F outside, I think it will rain today and tomorrow it should snow since the temperature is forecasted to be 27 degrees F. Reading over the weather EL Nino should make this a wetter year out here than other during La Nina years.
-
A fine chilly morning to all. A little C in my c and I'll be warm enough to start the day.
-
O.o Anyone see these for Free?
Thanks for the heads up on these items.
-
Good morning!
Snow probably stopped not far away after I saw it falling. It's melted now, temps are too high.
Rad, I guess your list is the new biweekly list on Daz. They change it at random: in 2023, it was more on the Fridays. It seems it's back to the Wednesdays. I'm going to take a look on too.
*******
EDIT: Nope, not the biweeklies. But those stuff are free since October 6th at least. Linked to the G9 starter.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all indeed.....
Going to be a "YIKES" Winter Weather for the rest of the week I'm thinking. We've got a Blizzard Warning, but on a good note...the snow will not be that heavy junk....it will be the fluffy "I can't see the road" stuff....and I'm not going ANYWHERE....Winds up to 50 MPH which I dread since my tree is snow laden already and I'm not climbing it to knock the snow off LOL.
But then again...maybe Mother Nature will change her mind and send it further North...like Canada... :java:
My Brother in RI said all of their streams and rivers are at flood stage due to the last storm they had...and then the cold will be heading his way.
Other then that....Not sure what the day will bring. May head to Wally World to pick up some more supplies...we shall see....
-
Hi TL! I be just cruising today. The prosthethetics guy hasn't received all the parts yet, so cancelled my appt until he does! :)
-
Good morning everyone...hope all is well in your corner of the world and that you all have a wonderful day/night.
-
Morning sanbie.
-
Hi Noshoba
-
Hello Sanbie,
I've been busy today so very little time on the net....Shoveled one last time to make room for the new snow which will be measured in feet and not inches :thud: But, such is life and we move on.... The snow I don't mind...it's those bone chilling below zero temps I'm not looking forward to.
Yup McG...read that in your space and commented....Hopefully all the parts will arrive soon....
And good evening to all. Mother Nature has most of here in the States in one weather situation or another....
-
Good morning all. We'll see about the snow storm. The weenies are promising the storm from He!! today. For everyone but me. Seems my shore side retreat will be spared from the whole thing. Not even rain. Wrong again no doubt.
-
We aren't having snow pdg...but rain...Oh my gosh...it just seems to stop...then back in full force...Keep safe just in case
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Hey sanbie. I suspect Environment Canada just hasn't kicked out the warning yet. They should have when they gave the warnings for everywhere else.
I am unable to answer your other question. To take advantage of some of the newer features of Poser one needs an nVidia graphics card. I do not know about DS. That isn't to say you cannot use something different like a Raedon. You just won't be able to use some of the card specific advances like Optix. Most advances in 3d work over the last few years are coming nVidia. Most of the AI stuff requires the same. NVidia.
I understand the cost of computers in $AU. AMD machines are every bit as capable as Intel machines for CPU calculations. In some cases maybe more so. For graphic specific applications I would however, go with an Intel/nVidia combination over an AMD/Raedon specific combination. For general use computing there is no real advantage to one over the other.
-

Sounds good.
-
Good Morning,
It was 26 degrees F this morning, with a breeze outside seem to feel quite a bit colder than that. At lease no sleet today with snow in the mountains, those snow plows are not the fastest vehicles on the road and the line up behind them going through the mountains is slow going. Yes the 22 mile trek to get my mail is interesting sometimes.
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny cold day, but not we only had fog this morning, no more snow. Take care and good luck with yours TL!
-
Greetings! We have insignificant snow so far but have made up for it with lots and lots and lots of rain. :rainy:
Schools closed, roads flooded and occasional trees falling. That's only the occasional trees that do the falling. The non-occasional trees were just fine. :whatthe:

Morning and I am up way too early lol.
-
Good morning. It's not that early is it? 5:30? Nosh; I'd just grab a night cap and try again. Crappy way to start your weekend.
-
Good morning everyone...
Thank you for this pdg
Sorry I can't help more. Like Apple users, I made my bed and I lay in it. I'm not real knowledgeable about stuff I don't use.

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready nite caps too the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be stuffed grouper with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Morning again. It was 230 my time lol. Right now getting an early start since I was up and staring at the ceiling
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny day but perhaps snow will be back? Eleni is becoming crazier than usual, and Harmonie is following him that way.
-
Good Morning to all,
The Net wasn't working yesterday during the morning and mid afternoon....wouldn't have made a difference. Spent all that time trying to stay ahead of the snow.... I'd go out and shovel some snow, come in to warm up and grab cup of Java and rest....go back out and shovel....and do the same with the java and rest...and it was still snowing as I was doing that.
I did that until 7PM last night. My body is truly protesting...woke up this morning to another 5" of snow on the ground...but not going out again till it warms up to 25 degrees....and then the temps plummet....
Oh well, such is life and you shovel on....with Iced Coffee in hand :java:
Hope all have a grand day and stay warm....now to see what is what and who is where and why is when...
-
Is DA (Mary) okay...I haven't seen her around for a few days...hope all is well with her.
-
I think Mary is under snow. If she has to check outside like TL, she won't be around for a while.
But I think she was here 2 days ago.
-
Seems like everyone in the US is having some sort of Bad Weather .... Coast to Coast.....Morning Sanbie...
-
Good Morning,
Hopefully the bad weather will not last to much longer for the people up north. It is a mild 32 degrees F here now cloudy with no rain or snow predicted. The high out here will be in the mid 40s. Looking forward to spring, where it just rains but out here you are trapped because there is no flood control when it dose and we do have flash flood out here just like Vegas did before the population boomed in the early 2000's and the county put in flood controls that works well during that time. I like it here, since there are no gun shots going off at night, people getting into fights over nothing, crime rate go through the roof, police siren going off all the time, along with fire department and the never ending traffic at all hours of the day and night. This place is like Vegas Valley over 50 years ago quiet and peaceful, no place is perfect but it is great to have a choice where you can live.

Cold and drunk actually. Waiting for my hockey game to come on and staying the He!! out of the cold and snow.
-
Morning/evening Sanbie. Ahh hockey one thing miss seeing when I lived in Rochester. Charleston actually has a very good hockey team here but just never have the time to go see.
-
Deciding on how old I feel this year. I haven't had a drivers license in a few years. I gave up the motorcycle license last year.
I'm going through the mail for the first time this year. I don't get much so I don't empty the box often. It has this years license renewals. I'll renew the commercial drone pilot license because I live too close to the airport not to. I didn't fly at all last year.
I'm dropping my explosives license. I won't be up north in mining/cottage country any more. I'm not able to walk far so stump clearing and the like is off the list. I'll keep the fireworks license and the rocketry firing master license. Got to have a little fun.
Pleasure craft license and harbour license can go. I no longer have access to a vessel of any size. Not even a tire tube. It should be safe to let them lapse.
People complain about subscription software. I have a subscription life. Our new Mayor has a 16.5% property tax increase in the new budget to go along with her other cash grabs for pet projects, so this cat has to scale back. I have a fixed income and rent increases and the like are a killer so it's time to be a little less professional.
-
Morning/evening Sanbie. Ahh hockey one thing miss seeing when I lived in Rochester. Charleston actually has a very good hockey team here but just never have the time to go see.
Mine starts in 3 minutes and I need a refill, so I'm out of here till morning. Hope you have a better night.
-
Oh not having a bad night and have fun. My only complaint with subscription programs is they are all moving to not being able to use them offline. As for age don't remind me. My birthday is this week. Getting tired of hearing why haven't you retired.

It is 9:44 pm and the temp is now +4°F (-16C). Don't matter how ya slice or dice it, that is COLD! Plus the ground outside is now all powdered white. Again. Looking for a -8F actual, before dawn. If it weren't for the gas wall heater I'd already be a Popsicle! Mogwai will come looking to see if I am in bed yet. If yes, then he will come get under the covers with me. Ha! He a pretty smart fella!
-
Would love it if you could send some of that cold here, its far too hot
-
Be careful in that heat Dreamer. That can hurt ya too!
-
Be careful in that heat Dreamer. That can hurt ya too!
I'm sitting under the aircon
-
Me too Dreamer...silly not to when you've got it...though our power bill is going to be through the roof...it's already estimated at $1400 so hate to see the final result next month!
-
That makes me cringe hearing that. Good Morning.
-
Good Morning,
Well we haven't heard too much about the Nurse lately. Hopefully she is in the far reaches on the inner dimension of the Attic. Looks like Doc J is not around in Coffee Shop too. Oh well. Looking forward to seeing today menu.
-
$1400 a MONTH??? No. No way. Couldn't do it. I'd be living in the dark eating cold cereal. Ebenezer Scrooge with his porridge and ha'penny bread would be eating better than me. My electric heat is all but useless in a building that has cracks big enough for the outside creatures to live inside. I'd be 4 sweaters thick and all the computers in this apartment would be shut down instantly. Time to break out my solar powered Raspberry Pi and work on the balcony.
-
Noshoba I hear ya. My B'day is two weeks from now. Another useless number. I was in worse physical shape 10 years ago than I am now. Lot's more metal and plastic now mind you. I still have some old stuff that they wanted to remove/change but that ain't happenin' in any future I foresee. My Doc. didn't make it through CoVid so I haven't bothered to deal with a lot of things. Finding a physician these days isn't easy as none want new patients. Especially ones like me with lot's of issues. The health care system works differently up here in regards to health care practitioners payment.
-
Mornin' MC. You're up early, or late. Glad to hear the move is working out. I haven't been to Vegas since the early 80's. That town was blown up and replaced years ago as you well know. You're in a good place now it seems.
-
PDG: The Las Vegas I knew dose not exist anymore, a town to now a city. Most the people I knew are not around anymore. With nothing holding me there I thought it was good time to leave it.
-
Oh I am in better health than I used to be as well. Although starting to get the expected joint pains that come from playing sports and broken bones when younger. Well heat bills here are no joke either. Place is drafty as f*ck. Why I went to fans and heaters significantly cheaper. Only heating a room not the whole place. Hard to get moving . Body made up for lack of sleep yesterday by knocking me out for about 10 hours today lol.
-
$1400 a MONTH??? No. No way. Couldn't do it. I'd be living in the dark eating cold cereal. Ebenezer Scrooge with his porridge and ha'penny bread would be eating better than me. My electric heat is all but useless in a building that has cracks big enough for the outside creatures to live inside. I'd be 4 sweaters thick and all the computers in this apartment would be shut down instantly. Time to break out my solar powered Raspberry Pi and work on the balcony.
lol...No not for the month...from 1st December until 29th February...can you breathe easier now lol
-
Good morning!
Sun is gone to let clouds alone in the sky. We'll see if rain or snow comes from.
Power prices are going a little lower here BUT the taxes on will jump a lot. At the end, the taxes make all going up and up. At the point it's less cost to do some things with a good old hand lamp, with batteries. And each day since years I disconnect my alarm clock radio, like I don't need it; it worth to do that on the bill. TV turns few hours in the day. Even my radio post is turned on more and more rarely (I'm back to the walkman when not on internet).
But $1400 for 3 months, it's a lot anyway, not matter it's Australian $ :hypno:
-
Well with the -40 to -50 that's happening everywhere blankets and heaters are necessary. BTW -40 is -40. Celsius or Fahrenheit. Take your pick. Too damn cold. My side of the Lake is better than the Buffalo side though. And no; it's only -10 or so here.
-
Good morning!
But $1400 for 3 months, it's a lot anyway, not matter it's Australian $ :hypno:
Good day Aelin; and I couldn't agree more with that sentiment.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made the biscuits and bacon this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Gee whiz, I don't even get quite $1400 a month pension! Even quarterly is beyond my meager means. Hey, I GOTTA have my coffee y'all! ;o) I have a small electric heater in the bathroom pointed to my open door plus that big gas heater going. It DID hit zero (-1F actually) by 6am here. It is currently 3F now, and just a puff of breeze occasionally. Up here you can count on having Wind far more than any sort of moisture with it. Also, we get cold here. Maybe not the -44 I recall in the Ozark mountains or on the ocean on Station Bravo. But without the real foul weather gear, you feel it hard anywhere near zero!
-
Good Morning to all,
Been trying to keep up with the snowfall so haven't had time to visit. By the time I'm done shoveling I have no desire to do anything LOL. But today is a sunny day with a high of -8 degrees at the moment...set to start decreasing around 1PM...or is that increasing in the negative....
But on a good note...the vehicle started fine...I'll be taking it out for a warm up spin later on....and hope the sun and snow don't blind me.
This old body is truly reminding me how old it REALLY is and not what the mind THINKS it is. Other then that....another day....another.....ummmm....day.....or night......or morning......or afternoon........Depends on your mood.
The outside critters only got dry food this morning....but they are all doing good thus far. I'd take them all in but just not feasible....and the shelters are FULL and then some. But they have found places of warmth around here...plus their houses full of straw helps. And they ARE fed every morning and night....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....How's the Bow Wow behaving?
-
Good Day TL
With all that shoveling you did I thought you would be still asleep now. That cold weather can take a lot of of a person.
Glad to hear that the car will start and your four legged friends out side are doing well.
-
being a hellion as usual but learning so all is well with her
-
Thanks MC.....So far so good. On a good note the temp went up from -8 to -4 degrees..... :java: LOL
Yup Fafnir....from what you tell me that little critter is going to be the boss pretty soon :tearlaugh:
-
lol...No not for the month...from 1st December until 29th February...can you breathe easier now lol
Jumpin Jimminy crickets! That is still almost twice what I'd end up paying over the same time running the AC 24/7 :nopanic:
-
she ain't gonna be the boss and for sure ain't gonna be a table scrap dog all she gets is dog food and loves it
-
LOL Fafnir.....we shall see.....
-
yea we will
-
Sorry Dreamer but what are the temps there. Stepfather is there right now and said it wasn't hot.
-
Sorry Dreamer but what are the temps there. Stepfather is there right now and said it wasn't hot.
Yesterday was sunny, 27c with something like 70% humidity, today is cooler at 25c and the same humidity but overcast. the last week though the temps have been higher, getting closer to 30c
-
His tolerances are too high lol
-
His tolerances are too high lol
lol Probably, also depends where in the country he is, could be cooler than my neck of the woods
-
Good morning everyone.
-
Morning Sanbie. Hmm not sure if he is at one of the universities or doing work for your government this trip.
-
Good morning sanbie.
Dreamer 27c is normal here in the summer and it's -27c right now. Sixty degrees between Summer and Winter is normal. Again, -27 is not a really low temperature for us here. Not like the -40 to -50 they are getting out West.
Mind you it isn't snowing here either. Hurrah.
-
Hey there Noshoba.
-
Morning Sanbie. Hmm not sure if he is at one of the universities or doing work for your government this trip.
Most of the Uni's and the main government center are all south of me so could be somewhere cooler. In saying that in 3 days I am heading for the Cantabury planes where it can be even hotter lol
-
Evening park. Right now bouncing between character builds and watching wondering if I need to do an intervention for a friend who is a Cowboys fan. He might jump off a building as bad as they are getting taken to the woodshed.
-

27c + is becoming normal here too, with winter sometimes getting to -3 and very occasionally -5. I don't mind the hot and the cold so much, its the humidity and damp that get me
-
Good morning everyone.
HI Sanbie
-
Lol. Well no telling. I know he's there for 6 weeks.
-
Our winters so far-touchwood-are usually around the lowest 18c to 23c...that's why I love winter here...
-
Good morning everyone. A balmy -22c this morning. Should warm up some though.
Not a football guy Noshoba. Watched a few games in university from Cheapskate Hill. That's it. Mind you I do know the short shorts Dallas cheerleaders. The ones Debbie tried to join. <g>
-
Morning. Well follow both,college and pro, since I played in high school. Why I am so achy now lol. Now friend is such a fan I have to worry about him, been posting on FB all year where are all the haters. He is about to get swamped with a heavy dose of crow.
-
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 gator and sausage stew with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
was into swimming and shop [ both wood and metal] in high school
-
Morning Fafnir. Yep did shop as well. But back then you had to take all of it. Pity those programs would be very useful now but most are gone.
-
Mornin Nosh yes it is learned a lot that is still useful today
-
Good morning!
Rain is falling today, but if the temps go a little cooler, it can become snow.
This morning, the lady of the forecast weather on a radio was totally nuts. She said "rain and perhaps even snow on the half south of the country". So far, ok. Then she gave "a line from Nantes to the Alps". Hum, since when Nantes is in the half south? :whatthe: And she ended by adding "and snow on Paris", but she never left her "half south" of France when talking. So obviously, Paris is now also in half south of France. So I wonder what northern country we have invaded during the night for Paris and Nantes are now part of "half south" :lostme:
Otherwise, heard that La Réunion island is under a big warning for a cyclon. They were in violet warning, meaning nobody outside, not even emergency people. But it was in our news only once the weather was on their heads.
Happy Martin Luther King Day to those who celebrates.
-
Good morning to all
it's -15 degrees at the moment with wind chills at -26 degrees....by Sunday we'll be at 18 degrees.....time to break out the shorts...until then...the rest of the week is brrrrrrrrrr. And I have to take Lorna to a clinic appointment....so that's a good thing....I'll drive around and get everything nice and warm...and charge the battery up some while she's in there.
Other then that....another day of ....something....not sure what yet....but I'm sure it's something.....with :java: in hand
My daughter is a College and Pro football fanatic...ask her anything about football and she'll rattle off what she knows with no problem. Ask me who won and I'll only know about the two teams I like....Green Bay and Chicago Bears LOLOL....That irritates her to no end....I tell her like it is....My team always wins when they play each other..... :java:
-
Well my team didn't make it, even having the most talent in the division. Amusing is they beat all the teams that advanced that they played. But no matter is what it is. Might change teams if they go after Bill.
Yes sitting at home for now. Will see what happens.
-
Travis just texted me that he got to work but all the locks are frozen and no one can get in ..... I told him I always have one of those long butane lighters in my vehicle for emergencies like that. Our door locks have frozen here at home also....the butane lighter warms them up quickly with no danger of causing harm...
-
No one carries de-icer?. Or are they electronic?
-
Well my team didn't make it, even having the most talent in the division. Amusing is they beat all the teams that advanced that they played. But no matter is what it is. Might change teams if they go after Bill.

Lorna is a Chicago Bears fan because her Mother was also....After Linda passed away...Lorna became a true hard Bears fan...I keep telling her maybe someday they'll have a team again like they did in 1985......I even enjoyed them then...and I got a picture with me and the Fridge....LOLOL
-
Yeah they are a good team. I follow them a bit because of two friends of mine that passed away. One from SARS and the other a couple hours after we had hooked up for the Sunday football gathering at Hardee's breakfast. Massive heart attack. So keep track of them for their sakes.
-
No one carries de-icer?. Or are they electronic?
One would think they would have de-icer.....I have it in the vehicle. Never had the locks in the vehicle freeze up since I stand in the house and unlock the doors....but have had to use it on the house lock a couple of times...but I found the butane lighter works faster LOLOL...and I have metal doors so no fear of fire...
-
They got in....The Grandson took a Walmart Run and picked up some deicer....so all is well....
-
Good Afternoon, everyone! We have a kinda heat wave going here at the moment. This morning at 6:00 am temp was 0°F here, and now it has climbed to 17F !!! I am shocked to say it even feels warm right now. HA!
-
You will be getting warmer and we are heading colder.
-
Good afternoon everyone...hope those who are having wild weather stay safe and warm...
-
I am still looking at single digit mornings for a while it seems. 4°F right now. Could be 0 again in a little bit! :java:
-
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 with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Mornin Fafnir and any others just waking up needing a coffee. Warmer by the day. Only -10c. -16 with the wind chill. Pretty normal for the middle of January.
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of C&C Mornin to you
-
Morning. Park you are getting warmer and we will be getting colder
-
Good morning!
-
Good Morning to all,
We are tied at -15 PDG....and the wind is pretty calm so not much of a windchill factor...but that will change as the day goes on....winds will pick up....
Going to take a drive in the vehicle after the sun comes out...which it's suppose to do today....though warming anything up much is highly unlikely....
I have nowhere to go today so I can continue on with my Christmas Undecorating....I take my time....but I'll wait till the weekend to bring my containers to the shed....
Just got a message from my Grandson .... He started out for work and "Hub locked up on the truck and blew out my tire as well" He has friends who can take him to work and will tow his truck to where he wants. I'm two hours away so I'd be no help...plus our rodes at still full of snow and ice..
-
Hi y'all, and good Morning. Temps still dropping here. Was 3° at 6am, now 1° at 8:15am. BRRR! What ought I have for breakfast? Gotta be something HOT I tell ya that! Mr. Fafnir can I have a refill please? AHH! Thanks! :java:
-
You picked the right breakfast McG.....One can't go wrong with a hot cup of :java: to start the day....Unless your PDG who adds a shot of TNT.... LOLOL
-
Got to stay warm somehow.
-
Good morning everyone...It's a nice 26c this morning they say it will be 31c today humidity 81%
-
Howdy Sanbie....High Heat and High Humidity....NOT a great combination....but I'd take it if offered to me....I'm at 0 degrees at the moment...the warmest it's been all day....
And PDG....Believe me...if the body could handle it....I'd be spiking my coffee also LOLOL....I just have to depend on all the meds I take and hope they make me high enough not to notice the cold :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
I last drank a bottle of blackberry wine, took me a month to get back on track! No alcohol for me neither.
-
Another cold morning, -23; but it will warm up some.
Hiya sanbie. Like TL; I'd be happy to swap temps with you.
McG; until two years ago I made wine. Mostly fruit wines. Blackberry was a regular one as I had blackberries growing in my garden space for that exact thing. I gave up the garden for various reasons and wine making with it though the berries are still growing out back. They don't produce much fruit any more as there is nobody there that understands the required pruning. I am pdg for a reason after all <g>.
-
Morning. Nice and frosty. After the day I had yesterday lol. Glad I still had my cane.
-
Good morning!
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ beef sandwiches with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
41 here and supposed to get lower
-
Good Afternoon to all,
Had a very busy morning so I'm late getting in here....and I'm already worn out. We are finally above 0....It's a balmy 10 degrees out. But on a good note....well....when I think of one I'll put it up.....
Hope you are having a good morning, day or night thus far.......
Now to see what I've missed...if anything....with :java: in hand Ahhhhhh
-
Morning. Nice and frosty. After the day I had yesterday lol. Glad I still had my cane.
Little early in the week for the church ladies isn't it?
-
Hurt my knee yesterday. So really tough to walk right now. Woke up this morning with it all swollen up.
-
Good morning/afternoon/night everyone.
Wow Noshoba you take it easy...maybe get it looked at.
-
Morning Sanbie. I am not even sure what's wrong. My knees have always been screwed up. Since I wasn't working just tried to stay off it and let the swelling go down.
-
Afternoon folks! It is now a bright sunny toasty 64°F here in the ol Texas Panhandle! Heh! I ain't complaining, and neither are my aching toes! (yeah all 5 of em!)
-
hoppe the knee gets better soon Nosh
-
Thanks Fafnir. Can hope so.
-
My brothers knees have given him trouble for a long time but they are much better now. He said once he started using that Blue Emu cream the knees started improving after a couple of weeks. Personally, I thought that stuff was just another gimmick cream but he swears it helped him. I wasn't going to suggest that it was the power of the mind....If he believed in the stuff and it helped him....Good for him....and I'm happy he's not in pain anymore.
-
PS.....Hope the knee gets better soon for you Noshoba....Every now and then my body decides to make something hurt for a while just to remind me I'm still alive...
-
Phase 3 of the undecorating has been accomplished. The living room can be lived in again and all my Santa and Christmas items in my curios have been gently wrapped up and put away....then I put my Fae, Fantasy and Betty Boop figurines back in the curios. I'll spend the next two weeks rearranging them.....happens every time ... All that is left is the Christmas Village I put up in the office and the Nativity Scene
-
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 turkey with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Mornin' all.
Yep McG; it's getting warmer here too. Or maybe it's the rye in my coffee.
Noshoba sorry to hear about the knees. Tore ACL and PCL at the same time doing landscaping years ago. Foot stopped moving but the body pushing the wheelbarrow couldn't due to the steep incline. Thought my leg was going to fall off. Still get twinges now and then.
TL; I made it down to the dungeons last Friday. I think it rather worrying that building management does everything in it's power to stay out of there. Boogy Men in the darkness.
-
Good morning!
It's a rainy day here. It's snowing somewhere else in the country :shrug: (EDIT: snow heard me. We have few mixed in the rain :tearlaugh: )
Take care of your knee Noshoba.
-
Good Morning to all,
PDG....I'm not sure the Boogy Men would be hanging around in that place based on your description.....But glad you got your stuff put away and made it safely back to your abode.
Morning Aelin....we are actually above 0 today....6 degrees....I'm breaking out the shorts.....wooohooo. But...More snow coming I guess....we shall see...
Lorna said she'll put the Decorations in the office away .... As we all know....Saying and Doing are two completely different things. What the mouth says and what the body does sometimes don't coincide with each other.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....And I think I'm in the mood for a biscuit also....
-
Between Mouth and Body, you are forgetting the Mind. And Mind likes to be in Christmas mood ;)
Rain fled to leave only snow now. We weren't supposed to have snow at all :tearlaugh: But snow on the rain from the ground, it's not staying of course. Well, at least we have a lovely show.
-
So very true.....I do love the decorations....and I do enjoy all the work of putting them up. But as mentioned....not as enthusiastic when it comes to taking them down LOL. I'm going to head in there shortly and start packing away...
-
Morning looks like another day missing work. Knee getting better big still not there ye. At least it doesn't look like a grapefruit
-
Good Idea....Stay home....relax.....Heatpads.....Icepacks....whatever it takes.....
-
O.o Have You Tried A Warm Bath With Epsom salt?
-
I am doing better than yesterday. Not needing my cane today. But didn't think I could walk a 32 ft ladder vertically as I am right now. Balance being the key there. So they rescheduled it. It's slowly getting better. With the weekend I should be ok.
-
Don't over exert yourself ...... Glad it's a wee bit better...
-
Oh I am not.Went out with the boss to help him write a few estimates and pick up the whole cause of this downtime. The GMC that broke down and rolled my knee trying to move it.
-
That's cool about helping out with the estimates.....Keeps you occupied and your mind off your knee.
I finally got all of the decorations packed away and put in the shed. But as we all know...some mysteriously appear throughout the year...
Now I am WORN OUT....
-
Good morning/afternoon/night everyone...hope you all have a great day...
So glad your knee is improving Noshoba...
-
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to yourself sanbie. Another cold morning. What does one expect? It's winter after all. Just waiting for Ed to take me grocery shopping. Enough ice around that without studded tires the bundle buggy just won't keep me on my feet.
-
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 chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of C&C stay safe shopping and stay warm
-
Morning. Looks like worst of it is passed. Almost can walk normally. Getting up this morning felt some sort ofmove/go pop back in place feeling and seem to be walked closer to normal. Keeping it taped up still just in case.
-
Good morning, PDG, Fafnir and Noshoba.
Noshoba, very glad to hear you're improving!
-
Good morning!
We had a cold morning but with sun anyway.
-

-
Good Morning to all,
In here for a short "Good Morning" visit....then got to clear off the vehicle, sweep off the walk and steps, take a shower and get ready to take Lorna to Madison UW Hospital for minor surgery for an ongoing problem. This is the second time in 4 years. Can't remember the name of it and even if I remembered the name...I'd never be able to spell it. I'll let you know what it was when I get back. It's a outpatient surgery so I have to wait.
And to top it off....It snowed last night so this should be a very interesting trip. But on a good note...It won't be during rush hour.
-
I saw that Sanbie.....The world is giving us one extreme weather situation to another....and I'm thinking we did that to ourselves....Hang in there and be safe....
See you all late in the day.....
-
Yep your not wrong...we did do this to ourselves
-
Greetings, Aelin, sanbie and TL.
Safe travels, TL!
-
Good morning everybody. Hope your weekend is starting out as you like it. Cold here as usual these days. Still; pretty mild winter in most respects seeing as it's the back half of January already.
-
Morning park. Yeah cold as hell here as well.
-
Good morning, PDG and Noshoba. East Coast US has snow on the ground. Here it's 16° F (-8 C). Toasty warm!
-
Good morning!
-
Greetings, Aelin. No weather report? :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all,
A very long day yesterday and wasn't up to getting on the computer when I got back. The ride up to Madison was the pits....My windshield wiper fluid line must has frozen up and of course I had all highway driving so the windows were a mess and at times dangerous...but I made it safely up to Mad City and spent the day WAITING... Thankfully I had my Kindle with me to keep me occupied. Didn't get home until 5PM and yes...the windshield wipers worked fine on the way back...Being in the parking garage must have done it.
Lornas procedure went fine. She was still feeling a buzz on the way home...which was annoying...all I heard all the way home was "Did you see that"...."Look at that"....."Wow...That was cool...did you see that?" And explaining to her that I was driving and saw nothing...didn't seem to matter... :thud:
Hope all have a grand day...and now....ON WITH THE SHOW....
-
Greetings, Aelin. No weather report? :tearlaugh:
Nope because I have sun and temps are good. Didn't want to make you jealous guys :tearlaugh:
We had a frozen night, that's all.
-
Show off.....LOLOLOL
-
Hi all!
It's very cold but I think, less than most of you. Take care of yourself and your animals with these very low temperatures, snow, frost. Here, as soon as a snowflake flies, there's panic...lol...I wish you a bright weekend...See you soon!
:gday2:
-
Mornin to you all its 47 here pots were on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be gator gumbo with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
daisy is doing good manners are improving went from 3 pounds to 4 7/8 pounds coat is turning a fawn/brown color gets the zoomies when out of playpen will start leash training soon as it gets warm and she gets a little bigger
-
Morning earwenM....
I do a head count every morning to make sure none of the outside critters are missing their feeding time. We've had some wicked cold temps and they are all doing well by the looks of it....Four of them always sleep in the Straw filled houses I have for them....but most find safe places in various spots that they feel good in. But none have missed a meal so far and we've got a few new ones that come by.
A beautiful BIG orange colored tabby....and a black and white one that I haven't seen before. But all are welcomed. I put three bowls of cat food out every morning and night....and when above freezing....a wee bit of wet food is added.
-
LOL.....Glad the pup gets the "Zoomies" when released from prison LOLOL...and yes....it's the only way to keep a house from being trashed....Good news on the weight gain. I told my brother about the playpen idea and he's all for it....their pup is in training also....
And thanks for the :java:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning sanbie. Just glad to get home.
-
Good evening folks. Good morning sanbie. Hope it has cooled off a bit for you. Glad the pup is coming along Fafnir. Getting used to life beyond the bars.
-
I sure do wish it would cool off a bit pdg...I am dreading getting my power bill
-
I am dreading mine. Because in summer being hot doesn't bother me. Being cold is another ball of wax.
-
This time yesterday it was 12°F, and this morning (5 after midnight!) it is 20°F !! Hey, warmer is warmer, right? :o)
Hope everyone N of the equator is warm, and everyone S of it is cool! :hug:
-
I am dreading mine. Because in summer being hot doesn't bother me. Being cold is another ball of wax.
This is me. I moved here, in part; due to the mild winters compared to my home at the time. I had tried Vancouver, and while warmer; I'm even less a fan of the constant rain and dampness than the cold.
As for hydro (my power bill) it's included in my rent. This building was built decades before the thought of separate metering happened. If not; I'd not be posting here very often. This is currently the least power hungry machine I own. It sucks about 600 watts on idle and the little dial that spins on a power meter would fly off the device like a ninja star if the whole network goes on full burn. If it wasn't for all the anti-freeze running through the machines here I would have to keep the balcony door open to dissipate the heat.
Only -17 this morning and going up to -3. Normal for this time of year.
-
Morning park. Yeah not that cold here but windchills are in the teens. Good old South. Sub tropical climate my arse lol
-
Good morning!
Today I can do the weather thing, like it's cold and the sun of morning has left the place to clouds for the rest of the day :tearlaugh:
We'll see if snow or storm comes around, like Eleni was a storm himself during all the morning :hypno:
-
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 beef ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges 42 here and ain't sure bout the wind chill just damn cold
-
Hi all!
A stop by here to wish you a beautiful day. Take care of yourself!
:gday:
-
Good Morning to all,
Well, The Packers lost...and most blame the missed field goal....but I'm saying it was the two interceptions that Love threw...Either way....a loss is a loss and the season has ended. As mentioned before...I don't watch the game...I just get the scores and the highlights (or lowlights in this case)
On a good note....I woke up and I had enough coffee left over from yesterday to keep me going until my new pot of coffee is made...wooohooo.
Was planning on going to Wally World today but it's -12 out there....and won't get much better as the day goes on....but....tomorrow will have a high of 35 degrees...so I'll wait. I say that now....but sometimes my mind changes it's mind.... :java:
Morning PDG.......you ARE lucky your electric bill is included with your rent indeed. Nowadays everything that is new and cool is electronic....and UP goes the power bill.
Morning Aelin....you have Eleni whose a storm....I've got Boo Bear who terrifies all. He's the smallest of the pack but has no problems holding his own and making it known...Size DOES NOT MATTER LOLOL...Right now he's aggravating Calie...and Calie is twice his size LOLOL...
Morning Noshoba...I'll trade you weather....On the bottom of the computer screen it normally tells me the temperature...right now it's just showing me "Very Cold Weather" :thud:....
Morning McG....You've got a regular heat wave going on there....Is it going to be a "Gaming Day"????
And Good Morning to all the lurkers....Have a great day....
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Keep it flowing....Going to need a tanker full today....
And good morning to you earwenM......I hear you have a little storm running loose LOLOL....Have a marvelous day...
-
Well problem is Chucktown weather has been so flukey the last few months, it's tough to get used to the extremes. Just a couple of days ago I was in shorts and a tee shirt. Girl at Walmart actually noted I was wearing shoes vs my normal flip-flops this morning lol.
-
LOL....Observant girl indeed. Well, my temp went up to -3 degrees...so that's a plus ..... :iminnocent:
-
Actually she's at self checkout and we usually talk about cooking recipes lol.
-
Like you....We have gotten to know the self check folks very well...Wally World is our second home :tearlaugh:
-
Eleni jumped on the Twins when he was tiniest than them. Now he continues, being taller than Harmonie; almost the same than Nenya for size (as taller but less longer for the moment; less muscles too).
You know what waits for you with BooBear now :tearlaugh:
-
LOL....Yes indeed.....BooBear is feeling like Superkitten today....but soon this may happen:

-
I tell you what...that is one HEFTY CAT....and one BRAVE KITTEN :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
:tearlaugh: If this little ginger was like Eleni is, then you can be sure he was back to 'attack', being under vexation!
-
Kinda like this:

If only! :psycho:
-
Ain't that the truth LOLOLOL
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Just stop by to say Hello. House is keeping me busy, and I like being busy. Hope all are doing well.
-
Morning and hello Sanbie. Right now trying not be a Popsicle lol.
-
We had temps of 37C today...While the top of Qld had cyclone warnings...go figure!
-
Evening sanbie. Yeah; I've seen the weather reports from your corner of the world. They appeared on last night's supper time news. The powers that be relish telling us of the hassles of others to make ourselves feel better about the weather here.
Like TL I've a little weather app in the corner of my screen that tells me what's shaking outside. It is beyond accurate to the the point I started thinking the weather station must be on the building's roof. It disappeared when Microsoft's AI appeared last year. I would have preferred that they left my weather app. I don't use the AI.
-
And a hearty good morning to everyone else out there.
Don't know about McG's day yesterday, but I'm going to soak up a little morning rye, just to stay warm <g>; and today is my gaming day. I've nothing on the list to deal with. Nobody wants my time for anything. I don't have to go anywhere. Supposed to be nice tomorrow with a few flakes so anything gets put off till then. Enjoy the day everybody.
-
Ohhhh . . . YEAH! ;o)
-
Good morning!
We hadn't the storm that the forecast weather told us for the night. Nor the rain. Rain is only coming now and Harmonie and Eleni love to look tears on the windows. I bet they'll sleep better after that activity :tearlaugh:
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Good Morning ...... On this icy, slick, messy morning....and no weather forecast required for that weather update....
Going outside to feed the furry clan was enough of a weather adventure for me.....trying to avoid stepping on them since they stay underfoot, balancing 3 bowls of cat food and trying not to slide down the steps, then onto the sidewalk, and then into the street and disappointing the critters by spilling their cat food. But all went well and I slowly crawled back up the steps and into the house.... :thud:
Yup Aelin....for some reason the rain has a calming effect on the critters....Not so much if thunder and lightning is included LOL...
Yikes Sanbie...98 degrees....I think trees start melting in that temperature... We are at a balmy 23 degrees F this morning but ICY ICY ICY.....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Glad you have 5 more pots ready....I'm in a coffee mood today...
Morning PDG....Have a fun gaming day....I always call the computer weather app a estimate of what the temp is and for all else I look outside :tearlaugh:
Morning McG.....Will you be having a gaming day also today? Hows the little furball? Mine are all sleeping after raising hell all morning.
M-C - Busy is a good thing if your doing something busy that you like...
I think Noshoba turned into a popsicle.... :java:
-
Yikes Sanbie...98 degrees....I think trees start melting in that temperature... We are at a balmy 23 degrees F this morning but ICY ICY ICY.....
It's the humidity that comes with it that kills you...it was 96% humidity as well as the heat...
-
I complain about the humidity we get....and it's NOTHING like yours....Yikes
-
Yeah the humidity in Qld is a killer...
-
Good ol Mother Nature....Either freeze us to popsicles or fry us like a steak....and to add to the fun...Winter Frost....Summer Humidity...
-
Greetings Attic family! Hope everyone is doing well and surviving this crazy weather.
-
Good Evening TI....Good to see you in here.... How are you, iolana and the rest of the family doing?
As for Crazy Weather....Yup....it's Winter one day...near spring the next....and then Winter comes back and Freezes what the fake Spring left us :thud:
-
Good Morning, Good Evening, and Afternoon,
Well it has been raining for the past 3 days. Hopefully the roads are passable tomorrow and the rain stops. Most of the roads out here are dirt. I need to take the 22 mile trek and then 22 miles back when going to the Post Office to pick up my mail. Then the next day after getting my bills ready to take the same trek to the post office again to pay them. I wish I could just put up my own mail box but nowadays the Post Office wants us to use the official post box with a key and a lock. I have been waiting for a key to the box since 14th of December. I will be happy and appreciate with a mail box near me and not taking these long trips when I get the key to the box. Oh well nothing perfect after all.
-
M-C I live in a highrise building and I don't get mail delivery. We used to. Now we have "community" boxes. Curb side safe deposit boxes. I only have to go to the corner to get letter sized mail. Anything else; I get a notice in the box and have to travel two streetcars and a bus to pick them up. I have since requested that family and friends no longer send such as it is harder for me to collect them than one might think.
Sanbie; it's the humidity that makes weather extreme here as well. Out west -30c feels as warm as -5 here as the Great Lakes hugely influence my weather. Like you; +30 here with the humidity feels a never reached +40 out East.
-
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 brisket and link sausage with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
where i live in fl the humidity is a big pain most days you can cut it with a knife
-
Good morning!
It was a wild half of night here, because we had a trunk "cleaning" the parkings from the big shops on the other side of the river. It did also at least 2 passages on the road. The cleaning consists to launch on the bitumen a lot of insecticides... which end in the river of course. River which gives water to the town. Yeah, drink the robinet water, not the water in bottles of course...
They do that once the year but this time it was a horrible huge sound. I'm glad the cats weren't as afraid as they can be sometimes.
The "cleaning" is done also in the town but during the day: streets, trash cans, some parts of walls... Deciding people must think it's so cool to bring that back home under the shoes too.
-
and if you ask they will tell you the chemicals they spray are not toxic to humans or animals
-
Good Morning to all,
Late start due to messy wet heavy snow coming down. Shoveling.....got to love it....winter Exercise 101. It's still coming down but it's suppose to get warmer today so the rest should melt. We shall see.
Other then that...Hope all have a grand day today....
Now to see what is what and who is where and what is why with :java: in hand.....Ahhhhhh
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning Sanbie. Hope it's going well there vs here.
-
Hi Sanbie....I'm so worn out....it even hurts to type LOLOL.....
But I will. Hope everyones day and or night have been a good one.
The snow DID NOT MELT....Never got above 31 degrees...and no sun as promised....just a dreary day all the way around. Worse thing was it didn't snow but we did have a ton of sleet that pretended to be snow....
-
Good morning everyone.
We got the rain TL. It's a sloppy mess out there. A little icy as the sun has yet to arise. Other than that, it's been and continues to quiet and dull without excitement. Just the way I like 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 BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Yesterday evening, saw a cat jumping as height as a little above my head with no effort :thud:
-
GOOD Morning folks! Erm, Monday was a cleaning day sortof, TL. Then yesterday was a Amarillo/VA day. BUT, O excaped wit me >LEG!!! BWA HA HA ha ha ha haaaa! :D :D Then got home, went straight to bed and slept till midnight. Sigh. I just can't excape the sandman. next thing, all business caught up, I'm HERE! :D
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning Sanbie. Starting to think I need an exorcist.
-
Good Afternoon to all....
Spent the morning at my second home....The Clinic.....Test upon test upon test...and wait wait wait for results....and then Doctor 1 Doctor 2 and Doctor 3 to give me the results and the old "Here's what we'll try next" routine LOL....
Oh well, I live....I'm happy with that. Got home and decided to shovel my frustrations away but whew...that snow was WET AND HEAVY. It wasn't new snow but I had to shovel out all the snow by my gutter drains since it's warming up a wee bit and I don't want them backing up and creating ice blocks in the gutters.
And now the frustration from the clinic visits are all gone... As I say after each visit....It is what it is....I believe that's a old Chinese saying... :java:
-
Aelin....that use to be our Bootsy's trick....High Jumping.....Now she's lazy and chunky and sleeping in her comfy sleeper behind my desk is her exercise of late LOL
-
I don't think Eleni will stop sooner. According some signs on his hair, he has a wild felin in his origins, leopard-cat. So he is energetic, and that explains the little speedy shadow I took for a black cat the day of the rescue.
-
Our energetic ones are Cali and Boo Bear.... I'm so glad I let Boo Bear in because none of the others could keep up with Cali...and now Cali and Boo play hard and rest hard....Love it
-
That makes a good balance in your cat team indeed
-
And the outside gang has grown by one.....He's a big boy but not a bully..Black, White, and Grey..He watches out for the little ones...hasn't slept in the outside house yet but lays on the straw outside of the house...
-
Can't tell if he's a neuter?
-
He's not a neuter....so I'm thinking Spring will be Springing... :thud:
-
Mornin' folks. Warm and wet. Well, warm being a relative term I guess. Laundry this morning. Like Noshoba on the weekend, I got Church Lady equivalents. Mine are in the form of laundry thieves. Happens every time tye dye comes back in to style.
-
Morning park. Tye dye? Why the dye lol.?
-
Good morning from under the sun!
TL, I like your new signature. The ginger one reminds me of my Nenya - currently being the 'prey' of Eleni. (time I write that, had to help Nenya) Nenya was laying on his side on the ground. So Eleni profited of that by going in his back, then catching Nenya's head and putting it backward. In the same time, he used his back legs to "knead" Nenya's back :thud:
For your new outside friend, isn't possible to see with the shelter if they can help to neuter him? And in the same time for Stripes?
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls did make the biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks in the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
Tye Dye thiefs.... :nopanic: I didn't know tye dye was back in style LOL. But then again....look where I live... Being in style here is Denim jeans and flannel shirts...even in the summer....
Morning Noshoba....I remember the days of tye dye. Got curious and found this....A very cool read.... TYE DYE (https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tie-dye-fashion-history-70s-trend)
This is Farm Country Aelin. Mice are rampart so they figure the more cats and kittens around...less mice will be around to cause damage....and they DO cause damage and then some.
Our shelters take in injured cats and kittens or kittens that lost their mom. Once a year they do have a clinic where the Vets in the area will "Fix" male and female cats and the charge is $60. That is CHEAP . That's what Lorna and I did with our clan. Only one left to do is Boo Bear..and that will be this Spring. The shelter has more dogs and puppies then cat's and kittens.
Great Coffee Fafnir...Thanks :java: Ahhhhh
-
Wow, here the surgery for male is €60, and above €100 for a female.
And I know somebody in Oklahoma who put a cat for such surgery for only $30 without help of a shelter.
-
LOL.....In a case like that it's "Who you know" Aelin. I think I put pictures up of Bootsy, Puss Puss and Henrietta when they were wearing their "Coneheads"
-
Morning park. Tye dye? Why the dye lol.?
I've worn it every day of my life since the early 70's. Got married in a suit with a necktie that was actually tye dyed on to the white dress shirt. It's an art form and I'm an artist. Some days anyway. I'm also an old hippie; as if nobody's figured that one out yet. Ponytail down to my ass and beard half way to my belt. When I do laundry the locals hover around like sea gulls casing a fish and chips joint. I had one this morning. A jackdaw drawn by the pretty colours. Had to ask her to stop pawing at my shirt while I was placing a set of tye dyed peace sign bed sheets into the washer.
I used to make jewelry too till I had the dungeons raided by the Morlocks a number of years back. Hard to keep nice things around here. They might have enough value to purchase drugs from the chickie poo across the hall or any other of the local riff raff.
-

$100 for a male and $150 for a female here. "Fixed", shots, de-worming, and whatever else may be necessary to give your pet a good start in life; all at once. Everything but a microchip or other similar device.
Now vet bills after the fact are something else all together. I had a cat fall from the second floor and land in a Caesar salad. Long story. A trip to the emergency vet, via my fifth attempt to get a cab take me and a towel full of injured animal in my arms; and a 12 hour stay cost me $3700 some 30 years ago. All they did was x-ray the poor thing and tell me she might have a concussion. Overnight observation. Out by 7am the next morning. All because no veterinarians had open offices on the weekends. The largest, most populated city in the nation; and vets didn't work weekends. Things have changed now.
-
Good morning everyone...I'm on my tablet this morning as my keyboard has done a "not working" this morning. Looks like off to shops to buy another.

Microchip was included in our price....that is why they tell you in advance to reserve your spot because they go fast...that means full price payment ahead of time....Still got the coneheads but not sure how our boy BooBear will like wearing a pink one with flowers...We had 5 of them but gave the two boy colors away.
PDG...same thing happened to us with Oz....Christmas Day....Emergency Vet in Janesville....They couldn't do anything so we had to let him go peacefully. It was a chunk of change and then some. :thud: He'll be home next week. Lorna had him cremated....Oz was her baby given to her by Travis...her son...
-
Totally understand park. I used run around wearing a dashiki lol. Beard stays but the ponytail comes and goes.

Always good to have a backup plan nowadays....
-
Always good to have a backup plan nowadays....
I have 2, 6 inch wireless dongle keyboards with small track pads. Recharge off the USB. 2 for $5. Best pieces of "junk" I've found in ages. Never without a keyboard or mouse in an emergency, and I have been known to have a few of those.

It's a hard thing indeed.
-
I agree....we both knew in our heart that his time has come but I'll be damn if we were going to let him slip away if there was a chance of helping him....He was the master of the house....and all the other critters knew it. We both will be glad when he's back home... (if the shitty weather ever stops....which is why it's been so long for us to bring him home....their end...not ours)

I get a kick out of TL's link. Haute Couture indeed. I designed a line of tye dye swim ware years ago for the largest fashion house in the business at the time. Worldwide. I used to do ladies intimate apparel for La Senza, Victoria's Secret, La Vie et Rose and a number of others. When my wife became ill I took over the dye house in the largest hosiery manufacturer in the country. Phantom. That would be panties and nylons. I was on How it's Made one night when TL was watching. I got a kick out of that.
That's one of the reasons I started working with Poser. Design manikin. I used to use animations with dynamic cloth and soft body physics to illustrate product design. I was able to do virtual fabric design with the greatest of ease. Industry standard dye colours are easily replicated and fabric patterns can be scanned to put forward a killer presentation. Any fabric is capable of being replicated in the cloth room so a client can see how a piece of fabric will appear in the real world without having to print or dye material in advance. A huge cost saving. The ability to see your pattern as it will appear on different body shapes. Some don't stretch or scale well. That's why I did so many cloth room and material tutorials. It was the day job till I retired to look after The Wife.

Rain, rain, rain. Snow is gone. All around me are the folks awaiting the ice storms and power outages. I don't see it for here though. Never thought; I was going to check out AUS as they were due for a typhoon if I recall correctly.

Yes indeed.....That was one of my favorite shows and made mention of it to PDG and was astonished by what he told me.... Another one of those "It's a Small World" things...
-
Just for the fun of it.....How many of you "Youngsters" remember any of these shows. Hate to admit it...but many were my favorites:
1950's TV Shows (https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/1950s-tv-shows/)

Well now! I just found my way into the new Coffee Shoppe thread! Was wondering why I had received no notifications from it, and thinking "This is weird! Has the Coffee Shoppe stopped being visited!" Then I went back to the last message I received from the 2023 one, and found Aelin's link to the 2024 one, clicked on it, and found it had been active all this time, without me!
No I'm not crying about it! :sadder: Really I'm not! :sadder: I'm actually glad I finally made it in!
Of course I missed out on a lot of Fafnir's Coffee, Cocoa, and Tea; but I'll catch up,... Somehow!
On another note, I'm digging more seriously into Poser 11 now. I have five libraries added to it, and one is specifically for TerraDome files only. Two of the added Runtime libraries are also being used in DAZ Studio, and from what I have been told, the Default Poser 11 Runtime Library can also be added to DAZ Studio. Of course there are certain files in each of the libraries that won't work in DAZ Studio, but I already knew that. They are formatted for Poser only, and that's OK; I can live with that.
I found some video tutorials on YouTube that I am following, and I'm learning, slowly but surely. I learned that dragging and dropping conforming clothing onto a figure it is made for make that clothing automatically conform to the figure. If the clothing is loaded by double clicking on it, it does not auto-conform like it does in DAZ Studio. That is one big difference concerning the two applications; Poser, and DAZ Studio. My next series of lessons will be how to load files from different libraries into a scene I am composing. In DAZ Studio I already know the method, and it is easy. Turns out Poser's method is different, so I need to look at a tutorial or two explaining that method, so I don't have to switch to different scenes to bring in files from the other libraries. There must be a way. When I load a TerraDome file as my environment, I want to be able to bring characters and props, and so on into that environment. That is what I plan to learn next.
-
Wb Agent. Well TL. I actually watched quite a few of those eventhough I think you all called me a youngin at 61 lol.
-
Yes I did Noshoba LOLOL....
And Agent.....well.....Ummmm.....I just don't know what to say.......I knew it was to quiet in here for some reason .... Just couldn't put my finger on it..... :java:
-
Yes I did Noshoba LOLOL....
And Agent.....well.....Ummmm.....I just don't know what to say.......I knew it was to quiet in here for some reason .... Just couldn't put my finger on it..... :java:
I kinda figured you would drink whatever coffee I left in the pots. LOLOL
No worries! I'll be getting my share, and maybe more!
-
Well i watched most of them
-
Me too Fafnir.
Good to see you back Agent.
Good morning to everyone else. Hope your weekend gets off to a good start.
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
I heard talking about some of these shows. And I remind of the little part of "The Abbott & Costello Show" in Back to the Future.
I think it was that "Lassie" that we had in 90's on one of our tv networks; but time we turned on the tv in the day, it was almost over.
And "Zorro" of course. My Mom loved that series. And in the 2000's, we had the choice between boring tv news and that series for the evening weekends. Of course, the series was better than the tv news!
-
Good Morning to all,
A wet froggy day out...and it's already 34 degrees....wooohooo. As I came in here my Grandson messaged me and said "It's Friday so I brought these to work"....and it was a picture of a box of one dozen assorted donuts......Now keep in mind...I said ONE DOZEN donuts...No special donuts...just your everyday powdered, plain, and glazed donuts...Price on the box... $11.99 :thud: When I brought donuts for work I would get 2 dozen for $9...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir
Aelin.....During the Summer I spent most of the time with the Grandparents...it was always TV Time. And everything they watched I loved...Grandpa was a Cartoonaholic...So I got my Cartoon fix in. Grandma loved Westerns and Police shows. It was fun...And of course we always watched the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday Night. And yes...they both Loved ZORRO also. As did I.
And on a good note....Grandma DID NOT WATCH SOAPS....which meant Grampa and I got to watch a lot of the Daytime shows and Game shows that were on. My Mother on the other hand....was a Soapaholic.
And now to grab a :java: and see what is what and who is where and why...
-
It appears we'll see something from the Farmers' revolt :hug:
The mother of the mayor went outside very quickly when they arrived. Probably to give him witness eyes of what will happen.
The "target"? A big national brand. In few minutes, we should see what will follow, like they are waiting for the announcements of the prime minister, gabriel anal... oups I mean gabriel attal
-
Now Now.....It's not funny making fun of Anal people :tearlaugh: So I take it this shot was from your abode. If so...You've got a great view... Keep us updated....would be interesting to see how this plays out since I live in Farm Country.
-
For my part, I haven't heard anything from the PM. Maybe they did. They are leaving very very slowly. But it was perhaps a threat for today, before manure tomorrow.
It also started to rain, it can explain why we don't see more today.
And... we have the "sous-préfecture" in town. They just have to circle by town, because there is no direct street by here to go there. I bet the equivalent of IRS might see them coming too.
EDIT: the pm has just arrived where he must announce things. 30 minutes late at least. So I guess the farmers left after they put a warning of next moves they can do.
-
Entertainment and then some LOL.....
-
Entertainment will continue tomorrow
-
Should be fun....don't change the channel.... :pervy:
-
Awful quiet in here lately....must be the Winter Blues.....or a boring day LOLOL.....Anyway....I'm going to sign off shortly....so enjoy the rest of your day....See you in the morning...
-
Good morning everyone...another day another dollar...as the saying goes!
-
Morning Sanbie . And indeed.
-
Goooooood Morning Sanbie.....
Wasn't going to come back in but something told me to so here I am and you enjoy your day.... My Grocery Shopping is done and now I can rest. Woooohoooo
-
In case it has not already been reported, DAZ BI-WEEKLY FREEBIES have been renewed!
-
hi guys! Good Morning! Yeah it is almost 1am here.
TL, even though I was indeed a YOUNGster for all of those shows, I do remember most of them. Gotta remember that the parents were real strict on what I could watch. Zorro was allowed, but war programs were not? Hm. SO inciting national rebellion in OTHER countries was allowed then. GOT IT! Hmpfh. Can't forget Father Knows Best, Andy Griffith Show and so one. I was kinda put to bed at 8pm like it or not. My being 2 to 5 yrs old was their reasoning. Bah. SOME shows I seem to have gotten mixed up with earlier years than they were made in. Like a decade too soon for 12 O Clock High and Combat. BUT, I do recall Annette Funicello on the Mickey Mouse Club (my 1st crush!). BTW Noshoba, I turn 70 this year!

Hope I can say something similar when mine opens in 2 hours.
-
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 beef ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir. I hope things are going well for you.
-
Mornin Sir Knight things are goin ok least for now hope everything is going well for you
-
Good Morning To All....
It's Saturday Morning....and a warm 33 degrees out. Wooooohoooo. I did enough outsiding yesterday...I'm in for the day.
McG....My Mother was a strange one. She liked Rat Patrol and Combat....And being the oldest of 5 boys....I was her company at night when she watched them LOL
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Glad you have all five pots going.....they are needed today. Funny you should mention ribs. Was going to get some for Sundays dinner but all three grocery stores had nothing appealing. Could be because it was Friday....but oh well, I decided on American Chop Suey instead....Love that stuff....and EASY to make.
Morning Sir Knight.....Any big plans for the weekend. I think I saw where your temps are going to be much higher then normal....
Good Luck with the shopping PDG.....tis a FROGGY one here....and I'm glad I went yesterday.
And Aelin.....I'm going to see if I can beat you today..... :3flower; With :java: in hand LOL
-
Morning . Oh I don't feel old at 61. Only annoyed at the slower healing time. Not a big fan of relying on a cane right now. Hadn't used it in so long it was rather dusty in the closet lol.
-
Yup....the older you get the slower EVERYTHING goes except for time....
-
All is well here, Fafnir. Nothing has changed.
TL, it's absurdly warm. Likely in the 60's today. Given that there was snow, still on the ground, only a few days ago I have to agree with NOAA (a rare thing!) that we don't understand ENSO at all.
This is from November but still seems right:
https://research.noaa.gov/2023/11/07/recent-triple-dip-la-nina-upends-current-understanding-of-enso/ (https://research.noaa.gov/2023/11/07/recent-triple-dip-la-nina-upends-current-understanding-of-enso/)
And all I have to say about your remark on getting old is "Amen".
-
We must look at the same sources.....I visit there every now and then and love seeing what vid they have on their front page and seeing how much more we've done to screw up the planet...or in some cases....try to fix the wrongs......Glad you reminded me to take a look see....
-
PS Sir Knight....Talked to my Brother in Newport and he said the same thing....A lot of snow on the ground, on top of all the rain they had before the snow fell, and on top of that...warmer than normal temps starting today....is making it tough for him to get around. Flooded streets, small bridges over streams and rivers now part of the stream or river....waterfalls that weren't around before....
On a good note....we had a severe drought here last year and the snow melt here is a good thing as long as it's a slow melt...
-
Good afternoon!
I was ready to enter in the Coffee Shop when suddenly I was kicket out by the internet connexion. No warning, just like that. So box was relaunched, and this time a message appeared on the browser, talking about possible works or issues on the network. Nothing more.
No phone either.
And finally, wasn't able to come until now... to learn than a friend is in hospital and tried to reach us.
-
That's the only bad thing about internet shutdowns....if your phone is a cell phone and no towers are around...your phone is shut down also.
But all is good....I just got into FB to put the winners for January in....Haven't put any up yet....Been to busy LOL
-
Land line is passing by internet so :thud:
Cell phone was down too apparently even if seemed working in local. Go figure.
-
Sorry to hear about your Internet troubles, Aelin. We have to be reachable by my wife's mother always so we have a real landline, probably the last one in the county.
TL, your changing array of kittens are just too cute! I always look forward to the changing of the guard. :Hi5:
-
Good morning everyone...I am so over summer and all the hot days...our power keeps blowing...so running out to the box to flick the safety switch back on all the time...Have rung the power company to no avail as yet.

I have a landline as well. No mobile devices. Never owned a pager, cell, or "smart" phone.

They are complaining about power up her too sanbie. Mind you people want heat not air con. Personally I can't get the heat soon enough.
-
And I do concur on the cute sig comment TL. I too enjoy the changing kitties.
-
LOL....I enjoy the changing of the guard also Sir Knight and PDG..... I'm picky so I hunt them down slowly. Boring ones are no fun no matter HOW cute the kittens are. Laying on the ground and licking your nose is not exactly "Action Packed" enough for me....Unless it's a REAL CUTE nose.....or a REAL CUTE KITTY.
Sanbie....I truly do wish I could send you some cooler weather. Right now we are having a Winter Heat Wave...35 degrees....
I got rid of my landline after I retired. Only reason I had it was for work. Got a lot of Boiler Room Specs via fax from distributors.
How is your friend doing Aelin....Nothing serious I hope....
I'm signing off .... It's Saturday night and have to get my Hot Dogs and Beans going. As far as I can remember, Saturday Night was a Hot Dogs and Beans night. Now the Grands and Great Grands carry on the tradition.
-
Quick good morning in my morning.
I'm on internet now to check on my friend. Alas yes it's very serious TL. She is in ER, and her daughter of 12 was alone to wait in the hospital. The family in the area didn't seem concerned last time we were talking to the little one.
Landline in the contrat with the internet operator. Even if they'll do their best to remove them for everyone soon. Despite the fact there are people in parts of french countryside who can't receive calls with a cellphone, even if they desire one.
See you later some time today.
-
Good morning everybody. Hope the day goes well. I'll take a C and c Fafnir. It's still early and I've nothing in particular going on.
-
Morniin to you all hands PDG a steaming mug of C&C pots were on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be grilled porkchops with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
That's so sad to hear that the 12 year old was by herself Aelin....and I'm glad you reached out to her....Don't worry about us....You take the day to be with your friend and her daughter. Sending positive vibes to all...
Good Morning PDG....I wouldn't have anything going on except for the fact that I got a call last night from our friend Mel and I guess Mel, Pat and Shannon are headed down this way. I'll have to plow a path through the cat toys so they can find a seat LOLOL...
Other then that....Trying to beat up FB so I can get back into my thelufias account. I'm not a big FB Fan so if I can't get in...no worries....but I do have my other FB Account that I put our winners up in and that's working.
So enjoy your Sunday.....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
-
Thanks for the update Aelin....I guess taking a flight to the US is out of the question so forget the visiting part...but I'm glad the little one has someone that will watch her....
-
Good morning everyone...
So sorry to hear about your friend Aelin..and so glad to hear that the little one is looked after...
-
Good morning all and break out the rye Fafnir. I survived another year.
-
Good morning, PDG. Congratulations and many happy returns of the day. Cheers!
-
Thank you sir.
-
Morning .. congrats park. You share the day with my mom.
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny day here.
I went to the big shop where the farmers went the other day. I saw there several areas where they have obviously left something like mud.
But we learnt this weekend (other stuff made me forget about) that our farmers went until the equivalent of IRS in our town friday. They offered to them manure on the roof - a flat roof. Knowing the building for having work into during few months, I bet people having their desk rooms on the last floor had a great surprise this morning. Indeed, I know there were cracks in the roof and the rain was coming inside when I worked. So... :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning,
Finally the rain and the wind has calm down to a point that I can spray pre emergent the yard for weeds before they come up. Hopefully everyone is doing well today.
-
Hands PDG a bottle of Creek Happy Birthday
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto and 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
-
Aelin your farmers got the right idea and sent the message to the officials good for them bet with the rain it was a crappy stinky mess
-
Morning .. congrats park. You share the day with my mom.
Lucky gal. Thanks.

Thank you fine sir. It's getting dented already.

I was watching the news yesterday afternoon and they were showing vids from the French farmer's tractor protest as they encircled a small town somewhere. I didn't catch the name of the town, but Aelin was the first person I thought of.

I can't tell you the name of that town. There were so many actions that it can be any town. I know there were a lot of action in Agen, perhaps it was that one. Closer of us, there were actions at Clermont-Ferrand, but more today. And at Limoges during Saturday. Those aren't little but middle towns, so not sure it works to fit with what you saw.
Today farmers started to circle aroune Rungis, the big market sending food on Paris. If they are able to block it, no more food in shops of Paris in 3 days. We'll see how it works.
But in general, the strikes are around Europe. German farmers are those who really started the move this year. Yet Dutch farmers are striking since last year. You understand, in their case, they are doing too much pollution for the planet; yet, Dutchland gouvernment is glad to bring in Europe food coming from all over the world.
There are also strikes in Poland, Belgium and several other countries.
Each country farmers have their own revendications. But European Union is often an issue for each of them.
I heard that the Freedom Convey will restart on your side also PDG.
-
Good morning all and break out the rye Fafnir. I survived another year.
Many happy returns of the day pdg...Here's to many more... :toast: :bday4:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Phew.....Finally, I can sit and relax for a bit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PDG.....Another year bites the dust.....and you didn't....... :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
How's that for a positive outlook on Birthdays....
Most of you remember a while back me mentioning asshole neighbors who put their two declawed indoor cats outside and never let them in again. Snowball and Midnight. Well, haven't seen Snowball at all but Midnight is one of the crew that I feed every day and who spends time in the shelters I have for the cats and kittens. Anyway...My friend Mel, (Most remember her as Shannons Mom) said her Mother would take Midnight in. Lorna and I were talking about it after Oz passed away but Lorna wasn't up for it yet....So I got ahold of Mel and said "COME ON DOWN" and she did.
I let Midnight in this morning and she acted as if she owned the place. Walked over to the cat food...helped herself to it....went and drank some water....walked over to the couch, laid down...and was out of it until Mel and her Mother came to pick her up LOL... She is a BEAUTIFUL CAT....
-
Click on the picture to enlarge it.....You can admire her better that way LOLOLOL
-
How is your friend doing today Aelin.....???? Did the young one make it to where she was going OK. I hope so... Been keeping track with what's going on in your neck of the woods....And here I thought our farmers were a strange breed....I see that it's a universal thing.
Good Morning to you Sanbie....Hope your day will be a comfortable one....
Ummmm....Fafnir....You may have to have the girls make a couple more gallons of :java: .... I haven't had time today to guzzle that much of it down......besides....PDG might need a few pots of it when all is said and done.
Speaking of which.....How's it going thus far today PDG......If you remember my first name....Keep drinking....You're not there yet :tearlaugh:
-
Click on the picture to enlarge it.....You can admire her better that way LOLOLOL
I love her markings! 2Face would be jealous for sure! She's a Gorgeous Kitty!
-
Woo Hoo, PDG! Happy Birthday! Congrats on making it through another year! Wishing you many more to come!
:beer: :toast: :viking: :bday4:
-
Yup Agent....she is gorgeous.....Glad she stuck close to home so we could help keep her healthy.
-
Is that gorgeous Tortie one you gave to the grands last year? She IS a beauty. I love cats, and Tortoise Shells up there with Marble Tabbies! :D
-
Good morning folks. Little crusty around the edges. Never did get back in yesterday. Thanks all for the well wishes and I need another coffee.
-
Hands PDG a steamin mug of C&C this should help
-
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 homemade beef stew with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Sun is shining once again and cats are very happy with that.
Our friend is back home, but need to stay very very quiet. Hope she'll listen the docs and us too on that.
The convey which started from Agen passed by Limoges. This morning, they were stopped on the A20 (a highway) by the CRS (a mix of police and military with their equipment). So the farmers destroyed a fence, passed in a field and joined a national road. They were stopped once more at the north of Limoges, at Bessine-sur-Gartempes. They don't want to fight with CRS nor police nor gendarmerie; so they opted for the plan B: going in all directions with their vehicles. They should arrive on Vierzon before the end of the day. Their goal will be Rungis.
There are farmers of all France going on Paris, but not only. Belgium and Dutch farmers are coming. They said "Keep going, we come!" There are even Italian farmers arriving in the south of our country.
It's a lot of things which pushed the ire of the farmers. What they win like money (there are winning €300 only by months and they don't count their hours). The numerous norms forced on them by European Union, when in the same time the EU makes accords such has Mercosur and farmers from other areas of the world haven't the same norms. Administration giving more and more papers to do, at the point there are farmers almost not able to work in their own fields to fulfil papers. Stupid things forced such has being watched by drones all times. Having to put their pesticids at THIS hour and not another, or they'll have a bill to pay at the State. I almost forgot the GNR (the gaz for their vehicles) for which the taxes will grow up (and like for any car owner of coure there are taxes on taxes). And so on so on...
Being daughter of a farmer (even if I'm not in contact with him since a very long time and happy of that), I don't like necessarily what they do. I never liked the kill of animals, even when I ate meat; probably because I knew the poor beasts. But for the little farmers, they have the work they have, and for many it's a vocation. All they ask is to work and win enough money to live correctly. Not being slaves of the industries; and each time they try to open a shop to sell directly in a town to people, there are so many obstacles that it's impossible.
EDIT: I just learnt that even Greek farmers are protesting in their own country.
-
Sounds like the Farmers all over are determined to be taken seriously! Good for them.
-
Wow Aelin.....Sounds like it's going to be a long drawn out battle...But it does sound like the farmers are being shit upon.
Since this is Cheese country here in Wisconsin the majority of our farmers raise Dairy Cows. And they are Family Farms. And most of the Wisconsin Politicians were farm born and bred....which is good for farmers.
Farmers are so popular that our parades have more tractors then they do floats....and the floats they do have in our parades are being pulled by tractors.
Hope the outcome will be good for your Farmers......
Good Morning PDG.....Am I typing to loud? Happy Day After.....and have another :java: ......
Morning McG....Have a safe trip and hope the adjustments work out.
And good news.....Midnight seems to have settled in pretty good so far and Mels Mom made a appointment with the vet for the 6th just to have her checked out after being outside for so long. But she was well fed here so she's not skinny or malnourished and we fed her healthy foods...as we do with all the outside critters.
And Fafnir.....Thanks for the :java: .... as always...
-
Very glad to see that Midnight has a new home, and a loving one!
***************
What I said was only for our farmers. There are similar revendications in other countries. For example, the fact of more taxes on the gaz in Germany too.
In Greece, they are asking to receive the promised money they should have receive since floods last year. I'm sure there are more revendications, but I didn't find them.
In Dutchland, the politics are trying to kill 3000 farms because they are "too polluting". And it's so good to eat insects in place of meat.
In Romania like in Poland, they work but for what? Their cereals for example are dumped because there is no longer place for. You understand, it's more important to take the Ukranian cereals, then to sell them like "made in Poland" or "made in Romania", but without the imposed norms. And same with the chicken meat or sugar.
Anyway, a large majority of French would like to see such force used against the scum dealers in the subburbans than the one starting to show against farmers (at Limoges or currently around Rungis). You know, the armored vehicles. But noooooooo, government refuses, you understand the militaries have no vocation to intervene on our territory, and they can put the country in fire. Ok, and what was that last Summer?
But we are no longer in republic or democracy, or the name you choose to give. For example, in 2022 we had strikes against a law for the retirement. Our dictator decided to come in the town I live for an inauguration. Like by magic, internet and phones had issues at the point it was impossible to join each other. All was back at the normal after he left. We had African artists at that moment in town, from 2 different countries. All of them said it was exactly the same behavior with their dictators: cut of internet and phones during the strikes. And guess what? The other day we had no phone, no internet, nothing. It was just "in our district". Funnily, it was the same exact excuse here and there all around the country.
But free expression is a myth in France. No decision of justice and the goverment tries to force platforms to close accounts they don't like. It's like that that Rumble is no longer in France. That you like it or not, no decision of justice said that Russia Today should be forbidden in our country. Yet gov decided that; Rumble said no and they just have stopped for now to be available for France, on their own will. They did the same with Brazil for similar reasons since Lula came back in power. So liberties in France and Brazil? Forget. And forget more and more for the rest of the Europe (from European Union or not). UK just passed a law which will change the free expression and nobody cares too. Ukraine showed the way with a pseudo-president who acts exactly like he denounces Putin to do, even closing official medias criticizing him. At the difference that an American guy was killed by Ukranians when trying to do journalism and that Ukranians knew well who he was. I didn't hear that on the other side of the border for the last 2 years.
-
On another topic. What do you think about the fixing of Menkaure's pyramid at Gizah? :hypno:
-
Read about that HERE (https://www.businessinsider.com/egypt-restoring-ancient-pyramid-giza-granite-horrifying-conservationists-2024-1).......Many are NOT HAPPY with materials being used....
-
Yep, I think it's almost the same article everywhere. But it doesn't matter for once. I like the idea of sometimes fix the ruins, but in that case I wonder if the pyramid is still capable to wear such a weight nowadays.
-
Agreed....
-
Hmmm, Chicken like bugs, and what my mother told me about what they feed the pigs, (1930s) there are some insects or larva in their feed too, so lets feed the insects to animals on the farm that will eat insects and we will eat the animals.
I just don't like the idea or get it of owning nothing, eating bugs and being happy. Sounds sort of like an order, 'like this or else'.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Good Morning Sanbie.....Just got back from a quick Wally World run...as usual....and it's normally not ME who has to get something.....LOLOL...
Just think of your youth M-C. I can't tell you the number of times I sat alone at a table with a plate of food in front of me with stuff on it that I WOULD NOT EAT.....and that's when the battle began. Seeing who can outlast the other. In the end....all I heard was "No Treats For You for the REST OF THE WEEK" which meant....Until tomorrow. Liver was normally the only thing I WOULD NOT EAT....EVER.....and I still don't. I don't know what show leather tastes like but I can bet Liver is a close second.
-
if done right liver and onions is great just can't over cook the liver
-
Morning McG....Have a safe trip and hope the adjustments work out.
Yeah, they are working now! He had to make a bunch of adjustments, then stood me up and I took off MUCH easier this time. Then I realized I'd stood up without even thinking about it, and it was a very natural feeling movement this time. SO, I also learned some new things about me and my leg, so it is altogether a pretty good day! :D
My Strength is good, just the attitude is way ahead of myself. My natural leg has to strengthen in ways it isn't used to, and that is gonna take time. Weeks, maybe even months. So, this stops the frustration, I can relax and enjoy this process easier. I have taken the stopwatch out of the picture. Heh!
-
you are doin good McG this is great news about the leg glad things are working out for you
-
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 roasted turkey with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
if done right liver and onions is great just can't over cook the liver
Bacon. Don't forget the bacon.
-
Good Morning,
The only way I like liver is in a breaded batter. Haven't had it since I was in Baumholder, Germany many years ago. Other than that it hasn't appealed to me since.
-
Morning. Personally prefer chicken livers to beef. But done right( broiled) vs grilled to shoe leather.
-
lightly flour the liver with salt and pepper saute in butter set aside fry the bacon set aside cook onions in butter and pan drippings add liver and bacon back in heat a bit and serve comes out great works well with chicken livers too
-
Good morning!
Glad to see that the new leg is fine for you McG!
-
Good Morning to all,
That is great news about the leg and you McG.....Time is a plus so don't rush it....make it feel natural....
How I like my liver cooked......No where near me.........and it's NOT MY liver ...... since I do not eat it at all LOLOL....
Well, I've got some peace and quiet for a week. Lorna went on a trip with some friends. I told her to have fun....and that is that....
So now it's me and the Furry Five and I'm sure I'll be bugged all day long LOLOL....and since Lorna normally sleeps till noon....they don't miss her yet :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
Now to take a tour with :java: in hand......Ahhhhh
-
Pretty similar to how I made in the past. I don't make it very often anymore. Like chicken better. Usually make that with grilled onions and yellow squash.
-
Morning. Personally prefer chicken livers to beef. But done right( broiled) vs grilled to shoe leather.
I'm with you Noshoba, although with just one difference. I also like to do breaded and fried chicken livers. I do them myself and I make sure they don't get overcooked. If they are like shoe leather, they are overcooked. I know what the temperature of the fry oil needs to be, and exactly how long to fry them. Deep oil is best for that type of frying, and once taken up, they should be placed of a drainage rack to let all the excess oil drain and drip off of them. Air frying is another story altogether, and I have not found the correct times and temperatures to make it work for me.
Now in a pot of chicken and rice or dumplings chicken livers do great, and are much easier to manage while cooking.
So how's things up in Charleston S.C.?

Luffie, since you have multiple cats, I figure you likely know what will work for a certain problem cat can often have. I'm talking about ear mite infestations. You likely know what home remedy works best.
My three are all showing symptoms, and I am seeing the evidence in the ears of Patience and McCartney. I did some research; first reading the science articles, and then looking at a couple of articles posted by experienced cat owners. Before now, I never had a cat that suffered like the ones I have now. They may have had them, but they did not display the the actions and symptoms of bad infestations.
Now the top two nontoxic remedies I found are:
1. Olive Oil - Use a dropper to drop into the ears once each week until the scratching and favoring behavior of the cats stop. Then do it once a month, to help prevent reinfestation.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar - done in the same way as the Olive Oil remedy, burt can be done every two to four days, until the symptomatic behavior stops. Then clean and treat the ears once a month.
I learned that the second remedy can be combined with the first one to increase the effectiveness. There was another one between these two, concerning essential oils. This one though can have bad effects if not done correctly, and the article does not give the precise way to use it.
So my question to you is what do you do for your cats, if they are having such problems? Do you use home remedies, or do you go out and buy professional remedies?
I don't think it would be a smart move to get any of the toxic remedies, mainly due to the fact that our three cats are in constant contact with each other most of the time. If one of them is grooming another, he/she would likely ingest the poison, and I won't let that happen. The best thing is to not use that type of remedy at all. I also think about how such things can be absorbed into the body through the treated surfaces, so no toxic remedies will be used by me for this problem.
I'm asking you about this, because I trust your opinion.
If any other members here wish to join in on this, I welcome you. I trust everybody that is a member here. It is just that Luffie has five indoor cats, and he feeds several more that are outdoor cats. I figure anybody with that much contact with cats will likely have knowledge concerning this, because this problem is a common one, and more cats mean more chances of encountering the problem.
-
Even if we used essential oils at home for Puce when she had her big allergias (it was by inhalations), avoid essential oils in a direct contact with a cat. Otherwise, it's too strong and you risk to lose your baby.
We have a vet remedy at home for that. Nenya had ear mites in one ear officially a little more than 1 month after he arrived at home. It wasn't visible before. Harmonie, no problem with.
Eleni had a lot inside ears when he arrived at home, but the product was too strong. He went at the vet and received a baby dose. Since, he can use the same product than Nenya, it happened twice already. Harmonie still has no ear mites. And yet, she sleeps with her brothers, especially Nenya, head against head.
Now, if you use olive oil, cats loooove olive. You have the risk they wash the ears of each other and reach it a way or another.
Vinegar, it's said cats hate that, even if I knew cats liking the smell. To see if they accept each other with that perfum.
We don't like to use such products, but so far it worked, even if time to time ear mites are back.
Between cats we had before, Juliette was the one having ear mites almost all her life, despite all we tried. Nothing worked. But it wasn't a terrible profound infestation, fortunately for her.
EDIT: I checked, the name is "Surolan" for the stuff we use.
-
Agent .. I actually do a lot of stir fry with chicken livers. As for breaded.. I do very little breaded anything after an issue some place I had over scallops.

Good morning everyone...

Good Morning Sanbie....Just got back from getting my dinner at Subway LOL

I have only just got up...watched the rest of Love Island Australia until 3am
-
Morning Sanbie. Agent I am going to reply no comment. Want to keep non drug or alcohol induced happy thoughts.
-
Morning Noshoba...
-
Agent.....Ear Mites are a problem for sure. We use Ear Wipes a lot but at least once a week I'll do a good cleaning, which they hate....... Take a peak HERE (https://youtu.be/BZTPZ71K-Bo?si=_oEvNEQ1WCEApdtC) and this will help.
-
And we use Olive Oil....and keep in mind....the varmints show up time after time after time....

I'll catch you all in the morning.....I'm poooooped....

Thanks for that video link. It is obvious that the man is a veterinarian. He explained things in a way that the layman can understand. He also gave some more options for nontoxic remedies!
-
Good morning everyone. Hope all is well.

Good morning!
Sun is gone, little rain is present at default of snow.
We'll see also today is the show continues all around the Europe :ifonly:

Good Morning to you all,
Got the place to myself....well...I do have all the furry ones....Lorna is on a trip with some friends for a week. So the Grandson is in charge of checking up on me LOLOL. I told him the furry ones are taking great care of me and all is well.
And now the Great Grands are checking up on me LOLOL.....Messenger is a good thing....but can be a PITA at times....but to be honest....I'm glad they care so much....
Anyway....A toasty 34 degrees this morning and we actually have some sun peeking through the clouds....but up to 43 degrees today....So strange in February which is normally one of the coldest Months for us here in Wisconsin.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir......I'll actually have a whole pot to myself here also....Wooohooo...Coffee Heaven....
Glad the Vid helped Agent....I hunted around way back when for one I truly liked....and as you noticed....there are a LOT of them....
Morning PDG....Coffee is our bloodline LOL
SNOW Aelin....Yikes.....Ours is actually melting slowly....but will be melting faster this afternoon.
And Good Morning to all of our wonderful Lurkers....without you...we wouldn't have any ..... Lurkers :java:
-
And Good Morning to you McG....You snuck in whilst I was typing.....
-
Well....American Cats and Kittens must be different than European Cats and Kittens. None of my tribe like Olive Oil at all....LOL
-
All cats I knew and know become crazy like when catnip is around (for those liking catnip)
-
Yup.....Ours love catnip also....We have a Catnip Mist and we spray a little on some of the toys so they stay occupied and high :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
My brother and I buy the Temptations Mixups with Catnip for our cats. All we have to do to get them to come a running is holler "Snick Snack!" They get home really fast for that! Mayhaps they are addicted to catnip?
-
Yup....I buy the same thing for them....Plus they have a few other ones they like...I have to buy the BIG container LOL....
I brought a 13 lb Bag of the Chicken Flavor Temptations for the outside critters....They deserve treats every now and then also. Now keep in mind...the 13lb bag was 15lbs before Covid and sells at the same price as the 15lb bag did.
-
Oh man I have seen that difference in prices per weight on many items the last two years, TL! This town had over 6,000 people move out because the oil patch just about shut down up here. A couple of the larger car dealers sold out, and now a couple other larger car dealers got even bigger (absorbing them).
-
Hey McG. Have made an acquaintance with a retired Coastie. I think he spent a little time on your old ship before getting sent to one of her sisters. I don't think he was there when you were though.
-
Good morning everyone...Well I never won Lotto...qld had 1 winner of first prize...don't know where the other winner came from... $100 million each...
-
Noshobo, I enlisted 52 years ago. (ugh!) Reported aboard the ol gal 50 years ago. Then, in 1986 the USCG had a retirement ceremony for WHEC 37 ROGER B. TANEY, for her 50th anniversary. Just 15 years after I transferred to Baltimore for a shore billet. Now Taney is part of the Maritime Museum at Baltimore City Piers.
What is his name?
-
Thanks to everyone about the leg news! Yeah! I am much happier with these last adjustments and some more very clear instruction. First and last of which IS: Do NOT rush it! LOL!
-
Good morning everyone. Waiting to see if I am going to shoot the groundhog across the way. Got a good bead on his hole from up here. The little sucker better have the right call or he'll be joining his albino brother Wiarton Willy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiarton_Willie
Too bad for the lotto sanbie. I never win anything, not even free tickets; so I can commiserate.
-
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 beef with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
I never won anything at games too, but my Mom did once. Not a big amount but enough to pay bills for few months.
Well, our farmers are cowards, it's all I can tell. Like usual, they accepted promises and like usual it's empty promises. Soon, we'll hear from gov the common "we can do that, european union can't allow it". But bigger farmers said "go home we won" and stupid others accept that.
At least Greek farmers didn't avoid to enter their own agricultural exhibition to protest. And German farmers are still asking solutions since more than 1 month. Even Irish farmers are starting to protest.
And ours were helped by several other professions, not necessarily in link with them. And now, they simply abandon them without the most simple help in return.
Next time the farmers will ask, they won't have of other people for sure.
-
I saw that on my news this morning Aelin. Fertilizer and green initiatives are the big issues. At least that is how it is being reported here.
-
Good Morning to all,
Been texting all morning with Lorna so every time I tried to get in here she would send another text. She's excited about the trip and worked hard for it. It's a Cruise leaving out of Texas....Gotta find where she said they were going LOLOL....When I find it I'll let you know. I'm sure she told me 100 times but this mind digests one thing at a time anymore....and it's gone quickly....unless written down....and I remember where I put the note.
Anyway....Hope all are having a good day thus far. I see that not much is going on... And I agree with you Aelin....next time the Farmers Bitch and Complain...no one will listen...
Morning PDG .... and like you....I've never won any Lotto nor free ticket. The wife always brought Lotto Tickets but I didn't that often...I think she spend close to $2500 in her lifetime and won $50 once. And....
Our Jimmy the Groundhog predicted a Early Spring....I wonder how he came up with that....I guess being 50 degrees two days ago might have helped LOLOL
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
And glad you're having a better experience with your new leg McG.
And now "On With The Show" Though I will have to make a trip to Walmart once again. That's what happens when you make a list, go to the store....and realize you left the list on the table....
-
I saw that on my news this morning Aelin. Fertilizer and green initiatives are the big issues. At least that is how it is being reported here.
It's only a part of the problem.
I wonder also how beekeepers who fighted with them are taking the fact the farmers who want can continue with certain pesticids :shrug:
I heard that Phil predicted also an early Spring. For us, it will be back to hard Winter next week if the forecast weather is true :tearlaugh:

TL that kitten with the pacifier clamped in its teeth is just adorable! :D :mwah:

Good morning!
It was a foggy night but now it's a sunny day.
Today, Eleni starts officially to eat the same dried food than the Twins (but his own one to end by night). He is so proud!
Also, he jumps higher than me definitively :hypno: We begin to wonder if he won't jump until the ceiling at that rate :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 hamburgers on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning Aelin and Fafnir...10.30 at night here...hope you all have a wonderful day
-
Good evening Sanbie hope you have a great night and tomorrow brings you many blessings
-
Morning... Might actually warm up a bit here.
-
Mornin Nosh hope the weather gets warmer for you
-
Hopefully. Got the church ladies fight done early so probably break done and get an early start on spring cleaning.
-
Good Saturday Morning To All....It's CARTOON TIME....Which means.....I'm watching the news.... :java:
Morning Noshoba....It's going to be a warm one here also....I did enough outsiding yesterday....It's the weekend...I got the place to myself...so I'm going to enjoy it.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....keep those pots full....I'm in a coffee-a-gogo mood.
Good Evening Sanbie....Almost time for nighty night.
And Good Morning to you Aelin.....That certainly sounds like a high jump record for sure. Got all my critters on a Catnip High so they can relax a wee bit. Got Puss Puss sleeping next to my desk and my Bootsy sleeping in her special spot and the rest are zoned out in the living room...
And Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening to all others not present at the moment....
-
Hi all. It's above 0 here today so pdg was pdging this morn in hopes of spring. Gave Ed a fist full of seed when he was by yesterday. Figured it's time to start more than the legally allowed amount myself. I "weed" everything down to the best girls later anyway. Bring the numbers more in line with govs allowances. I have a license but don't want to push the numbers and lose it.
-
We are actually at 38 degrees here. Thought I saw a couple of gals walking by in bikinis...but then again...the eyes and mind don't always work together...
A lot of states are legalizing it. Not yet in Wisconsin....but....all the States surrounding us are open for business LOL....Lorna and friends make a monthly trip to Freeport which is a 1/2 hour drive...
Still got plenty of snow on the ground but I've got green grass showing in my yard....whoooohoooo

Had to raid the Teapot this morning, Fafnir. Thanks for the strong Tea!
On the subject of games, I'm assuming we are talking about Lottery type games, and so forth. I never played the Lottery. I am also not into gambling, but here's an interesting story about that.
As a teen, I did a bit of gambling with my friends, but we were not betting money. Rather we were betting candy. It was after Halloween, and we played Poker with candies as the stakes. I had a big stroke of what could be called Luck, as I walked away with four times the candy I started with. My friends never played poker with me again after that.
At first I thought this is a good thing. I played a few more times after that, and every time I would win the most. None of it was ever due to cheating, and I never developed the skills to cheat anyway. But there was more consequences that came from this; some of my friends stopped being my friends! It was something I noticed had happened every time I ever gambled!
Fast forward to when I was in my thirties, and working at an emergency vehicle building company called First Response. I had become part of a fair sized circle of friends from the people I worked with. Several of them invited me to play Poker with them while we were hanging out with each other after work.
I told them "I am not into playing gambling games. If you don't mind, I'll sit this one out, but I will watch you guys play."
They asked me "Why don't you like to gamble?"
I told them "When ever I did in the past, it seemed like I would always have the best luck, and would walk away with the biggest winnings!"
"That can't always be true!" some of them said.
"Nevertheless, I prefer to keep my friendships, because whenever I won so much, some of my friends stopped having anything to do with me! I would rather not gamble with my friends, risking my very friendship with them!"
Jimmy, one of the friends at the party asked "What if I stake you in the game, and if you win enough, you can pay it back to me? Come on man! We don't want you to be left out of the fun!"
"If I get into the game on your stake, I hope I don't win more than enough to pay you back! Do you agree to that?"
"Agreed!" he nodded.
Now there was one other friend there who liked playing aggressively. His name was also Jimmy. As we were playing, in the first hand I wound up winning enough to pay the first Jimmy back, plus still have enough to continue playing. I had gotten a Full House, Aces and Queens, without having to discard any cards, and have that amount of cards dealt to me. The second Jimmy said "Wow! How did you do that?" He looked me in the eye, and challenged me; "I'm watching you, man! If you don't discard and take cards, I will be on you with some aggressive betting!"
I accepted his challenge, but I knew If I beat him, he would no longer be my friend.
As it turned out, I was winning most of the rounds throughout our game, and had already caused one other friend to bow out due to no longer having enough money to play. Second Jimmy said "Oooh! You're on a roll!"
"Like I said before you guys dragged me into this game, I seem to win big every time I gamble! I warned you, but apparently you did not believe me! Now you guys are seeing it!"
A few hands later, I was dealt a Royal Straight Flush, all in Spades. I knew this to be the most unbeatable hand a player can have; Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten, all Spades! I discarded none, and took none from the deck.
Second Jimmy noticed, and even though he discarded 2 and took 2 from the deck, he thought he could win. The one that had bowed out knew what I had, but he kept his mouth shut. He new that no one could beat my hand. Second Jimmy had built up a fair amount himself, though not as much as I had. The other remaining players had to fold.
Jimmy looked at me hard. "Think you got something really good, do you? Well I think you're bluffing! I'm all in!" He pushed all he had into the pile.
I said to him "Well now, that's very interesting! You think you have a chance to win it all! I'll tell you what! If you win this hand, you get all I have here! But understand this; I'm doing this to teach you a lesson!" I pushed all of my winnings into the pile. "Show your hand!" I told him.
He revealed his hand. It was a Royal Straight, but not a Flush.
With my best Stone Faced look, I laid my hand out card by card, one at a time; Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, all Spades! The whole room erupted with amazement! Even Second Jimmy was impressed. "How?" he asked. "Could you have cheated?"
First Jimmy stepped up in my defense. "I was the dealer for that last hand! I know he could not have cheated! He did warn us before the game about his luck, and he even said he did not wish to play!" He put his hand on my shoulder in a friendly way. "I staked him, and he agreed to play, in spite of his fears! He even told us why he did not want to play! Looks like he was telling the truth!"
Second Jimmy had to concede that I had beaten him fair and square.
I offered to pay him what he had bet in the last hand, but he said "You won it all man! I'll never play cards with you again!" As I had figured he was also not my friend after that. He actually tried to sabotage my work at First Response, and was caught in the act of tearing out something I had just installed. I saw him being marched out of the workplace by a police officer, in handcuffs. The company owner had brought charges against him. I was wondering what he had done, and the supervisor that had caught him in the act told me he was trying to rip somebody else's work out, then he showed me what it was. I said, "I installed that, and it was working properly! Do you want me to fix it?"
"It's evidence now, so don't touch it!" the supervisor advised me. "Since you were the installer, you may be called to testify at the trial!"
I had to be in court during the trial, and when he was put on the stand by his own lawyer, he admitted that he hated me because I beat him in a Poker game. I didn't have to testify, but what he said really got to me! He got five years in prison.
As for all the other people that were in that Poker game, none of them ever invited me to play again, and that's the way I wanted it. Jimmy 1 remained a friend, but never hesitated to back me up when someone in the group wanted me to play a gambling game with them! Of course I refused! I lose more when I lose a friend than I might lose in a gambling game!

State sponsored lotteries Agent. I never win and seldom play as I don't have an outlet near me.
I won a serious crap load of money in Vegas back in '80 or '81. Ed pulled me out of the hotel bar at 9:30 am, after having left me to take his wife for supper the previous evening. I had partied and gambled all night and was literally giving away buckets of money to anyone who wanted one. I was sitting on the bar and handing them out. Share the wealth.
I normally don't bet the ponies and they moved Woodbine (the track) too far for me to travel to; but the last time I went, back in the mid 80's; I had to play a 79 to 1 long shot. Narcotics Squad. With a name like that I couldn't help myself. It won and I had $20 on him.
Gamble against friends? Doesn't sound like a way to win friends and influence people in a way one would want. I bet you are a loser because I'm a winner. That's as far as one need think that proposal.
Lottery tickets. Never won a penny.

Anybody, anywhere in the country; can grow up to 4 plants. No one is going to check if you have 5 or 6 and bust you though I suspect landlords might if they have problem tenants.
I, on the other hand; have a no longer available medical license to grow and dispensation from back before legalization. Because the product is legally available now my licenses are no longer issued but are grandfathered and renewable. This allows me to possess above the current legally allowable amount of dried and/or processed product and number of plants I may cultivate at any one time. After all; the Govt. is trying to eliminate the illegal production by making it so that you can't have much stored in the pantry for your kids to get in to or you to give the neighbour like a cup of flour when they run out making cookies.
-
Good morning everyone...
Pdg...I could never win with the horses, I could always tell who was going to win by just looking at them...but if I put money on it...they never came anywhere...my friends loved it when we went to the races and would wait eagerly for me to tell them who was going to win...then promptly tell me NOT to put any money on it!
-
Morning/evening Sanbie. -stretches- nothing like falling asleep in your chair lol.
-
Morning evening Noshoba...done that plenty of times lol
-
Well was working on a rather complicated render, so growling lol
-
Good morning everybody.
Hope the render worked out Noshoba.
Sanbie I lived near a track when I was young. Watching the ponies training everyday gave you a good concept as to which horse might do well. I quit gambling on anything almost 40 years ago though. Can't afford to lose.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready also fully stocked bar the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir...park. hmm it's coming along. Complicated because it's generational and a bit crowded. Would prefer to use G9 but having to convert things over to 8.1 to avoid a ton of auto fits. The character converters seriously suck for 8 to 9. Not sure why. 3 to 8 was a snap.
-
Good morning!
-
Good morning, Attic friends.
Fafnir, thanks for the addition of a bar!
Noshoba, I can't agree more on the sad state of the conversion landscape for G8 to G9. I'm glad you've had success with converting G3 to G8. I always find strange artifacts than need Mesh Grabber fixes. :insist:
-
Yeah the converter keeps doing weird things. Riversoft usually has very good products but that one is a serious fail. Now there was a tut on YouTube that came out right after 9 but before the products. It works fairly well using the dev model but those now separated out anatomy cause quirky issues if character is too drastic a mod.
-
Good Morning, folks!
Gonna grab some of your double strength coffee very soon, Fafnir. I thank you in advance!
On the subject of Autofit from Genesis 8 & 8.1 to Genesis 9, I thing the main reason it is not working so well is because 8 & 8.1 have a Male version and a female version, and Genesis 9 is one figure that can be either sex. Like Genesis 8 7 8.1 ,Genesis 2, and Genesis 3 have a male and a female base figure. So we have 3 consecutive generations of Genesis that have two base figures; one male, and one female.
The original Genesis was one figure that could be male or female. But to get clothing and hair and accessories from the Millennium 3 and Millennium 4 figures to fit Genesis you must have the corresponding GenX products, and some of them still don't fit properly, or at all. Again it is because the Millennium figures have male and female base figures, it is exacerbated even further by the fact that Millennium 3 has separate figures for the different male and female base figures, such as Aiko 3, Victoria 3, Stephanie 3, and The Girl 3, among the females. The best fits from the Millennium figures to Genesis are from the Millennium 4 figures. In fact, some clothing from Millennium 4 could fit Genesis even before the GenX products were released. Even Kids 4 clothing was working fairly well on Genesis without GenX.
The Genesis 9 base figure is like the original Genesis base figure, in that it can be male or female. Why DAZ decided to return to that convention is beyond me, but I have seen how clothing from the earlier Genesis 8 & 8.1 figures show the telltale artifacts while fitted to Genesis 9, and it is similar to the fitting artifacts from the Millennium figures on Genesis.
I will say this though, for clothing made for Genesis, most will fit both male and female morphs; and from what I have seen, the same is true for Genesis 9. And, each do not show artifacts when one sex's clothing is fitted to the other sex.

Good morning!
It's a sunny day to start the week. Pretty anxious cats also, I hit my hand on my desk without willing that and saw the 3 cats jumping all around with big tails and under shock. Looking each other who was the culprit. I learnt there was noises of "works" for a short moment at the end of the morning. It must be the stress of that always making its effect o them :sigh:
But a rest under the sun and sooner they'll forget for good, I hope.
-
yep Sir Knight
-
Good Afternoon' Y'all! Grabbed a cup of double strength :java:,Fafnir. Thanks!
Had to have a look at the Monthly contest Gallery, and I'm loving how the imagination is all over the map! Well done to everybody who has participated thus far.
Today I'm a little out of it; weird things happening in my body. I usually don't feel hot during cold weather, as my thin blood always makes me feel colder; and when I have a fever, I feel even colder. This is something I've never had happen before. I'm not having any other symptoms other than feeling a bit tired. It's the feeling warm while it's chilly that has me confused, because I know the way my body usually works. This is the exact opposite of that. I'm still able to get necessary work done, so no problems there. I have no idea what the cause could be.
-
Flu B is all over This Area in Texas! :achoo:

Good Afternoon to all....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Glad you put 5 pots out.....I'll be done with 4 of them in no time...:java: Ahhhh
Yesterday had company and by the time they left I was worn out. And being as Lorna is on her trip.....I had plenty to keep me busy this morning.....Having 5 critters really doubles the amount of time it takes to get those litter boxes back to working order LOLOL.
Next up....Vacuuming to keep the hair flow down....but not much going on in here anyway so that is a plus for me.
Agent....don't let it go on for to long....with everything floating about of late....it could be almost anything.
Aelin....My crew is wandering around at the moment and are now use to Lorna not being here. I gave them free reign to her room since she said to leave the door open if I want to....and I did want to LOLOL....Haven't heard anything crash yet....and besides....they want to spend most of their time bugging me.
That's damn early for you PDG.......Take a nap....
Hope everyone has a super duper day.....I'm taking a quick tour and then going to relax for a bit....with :java: in hand.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie

But all is good. And they are all sleeping now...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...will give you a buzz later on....got a few more things I need to get done and then I can settle down for the day.
Morning PDG.....We are going to be in the 50's sometime this week....Are we sending that weather your way? Our weather guy says "It's too early to tell" LOLOL...
And good morning Aelin.....How is your clan behaving today?....
Shhhhh.....Let's not wake Sanbie up this early.....
Have a great day folks...
-
They are like little devils. Specially Eleni today; for Twins, they were more devils on the last hours of the night :thud: And it's not us who have the storm, it's the north of the country and Belgium :shrug:
-
I've been lucky today.....BooBear hasn't picked on anyone yet....I've got Bootsy sleeping in her spot behind me, got Henrietta sleeping in the laundry area, got Puss Puss and Calie looking out of the back bedroom window (Lornas Room) and Boo Bear sleeping in the kitchen sink...again.
And if they raised hell while I was sleeping....I didn't hear a thing....the benefits of not being able to hear anything out of one ear and sleeping on the good ear :tearlaugh:
-
The kitchen sink? He isn't worried to pass under a lot of water if there is an issue :hypno: But cats are so weird, it's beyond human imagination sometimes :tearlaugh:
-
Hi all.
Yep I'm still breathing, just getting back into my own place after spending a year out of it. Didn't think it would be that long lol.
Anyhoo hope to be back to rendering soon but today I have the fun job of cleaning out the fridge that has been ignored for the last 12 months :OMG:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Good Evening to all,
Today I decided to rewire the computer desk to make it more Kitty Proof. They love pulling at the velcro Strips I use to keep the wires in place. So I zip tied everything LOLOL. They can play with those all they want but won't get them loose unless they spend two to three years gnawing at them....but you all know in a few months I'll be trying something different... because I'll want to move something from one spot to another....
Hi Dreamer....Glad to have you back and breathing....and YIKES on the fridge clean up. Good Luck...don't rush it...a little at a time...
Good Morning to you Sanbie.....Have a Marrrrrrrrrrrvelous day...
And yes Aelin....the kitchen sink. He doesn't care if it's wet or not....I don't mind since I have two sinks...but even when I turn the water on for the left sink....he just lays there undisturbed...sleeping soundly in the right sink.
-

-
Good Morning to all,
Outside Clan all fed....Inside clan all resting after a morning of raising hell...Starting at 4AM Aelin.... Guess the neighbor next door starts work early this week and he is NOISY all the time....His truck sounds like a tank starting up.
Yup on the resting of the eyes PDG.....Which is why some days I'm in here early and some days late.....and a few times during the month I'll not be anywhere on the net at all.
Taking a rest every now and then is a good thing Dreamer....The fridge isn't going anywhere.
Great chatting with you last night Fafnir....and glad the pup is wearing you out LOLOLOL.....
And now to take a tour with :java: in hand.
-
I managed to get the fridge finished yesterday, just have a carton of eggs to carefully dispose of left but seeing as they are not causing problems where they are they can stay put till rubbish day and be removed then.
I think today is going to be a day off from settling back in.
-
Good morning everyone...hope you all have/had a great day...
-
Hi girls, and good night from here!

Good morning!
It was a weird night. Few after 2AM we had an army plane passing very low above our heads. After that and looking for the babies, try to explain to them it's still time for sleeping :thud:
-
Ah, see now Aelin! You have become their MOMMY! Isn't it wonderful? ;o)
-
Only the Nenya's Mom. Big sister for the 2 others. My Mom went to check the Twins too (the younger has the habit now to sleep with her), whence their "belief" it was time to start the day.
I wish I can sleep with the Twins, it would be better for them in such cases. But I need to find a furniture to replace my commode. They are very interested to go on, despite everything I put on; and they are also interested in the drawer opened in all times (thank you ikea style furnitures nowadays :thud: ). I miss so much to sleep with cats now.
-
Good Morning to all....a little late once again due to critter time LOL.
Glad the Fridge is done Dreamer.....the rest can be done in small steps. Don't want to do too much else the body will truly rebel.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Thankfully PDG And Noshoba left me some LOLOL.....and in saying that....Good Morning PDG...You doing better this morning?
And good morning to you Noshoba.....Caffeine is better than a blood transfusion in my book.
Good Morning Aelin.....I bet they did run and hide and then some. That's how it is in the Spring and Summer here with the Crop Dusters....they fly LOW and SLOW and the critters hide and ....I even jump LOLOL....
Not sure what I have going on today....Had to haul Puss Puss off the top of the fridge....I told him that is NOT the way to get my attention and gave him a "Time Out" in Lornas room with door shut. I set him free a bit ago and no damage done in Lornas room and he's now laying on my bed....behaving.....for the time being.
Other then that....Waiting to see if the new garbage pickup schedule given to us by the city is still screwed up. It was supposed to be Regular and Recycled Garbage day last week according to the new schedule they gave us. Recycled Garbage Truck never showed up last week. Still waiting on it this week....
And now to see what is what and who is where and why with :java: in hand.
-
Yep lots of small step to putting the house back to rights.

Good Morning to all....a little late once again due to critter time LOL.

Yeah; still have a bit of a headache but that will go eventually. Your warmth will finally arrive tomorrow. Took a bit this time. 11c. followed by snow on Saturday night into Sunday.
The kids might get a chance to go tobogganing yet this winter now that the fools in City Hall reversed to dumb ban on it they put in place on the first snowfall of the season. Now it's back to normal after yesterday. Smack into a tree at your own risk. Don't sue us if you break your neck. About time. This town is just messed up.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie....
Just got back from Wally World before the big storms hit....and the rain just now started....HARD....
You have a good day.....I'm going to have a ROCK n' ROLL night.....woooohoooo
-
Hi Sanbie hope you have a great day

Right now we are at 53 degrees and the big black clouds have arrived, winds have picked up and I'm ready for a Rock and Roll evening.
-
And we lucked out....Got Hail, High Winds, Heavy rain....and just now passed us....but....Tornados have touched down near the Village I lived in, Albany, and now another one has formed by Janesville which is Northwest of me....Got 3 counties in the path of 4 tornadoes........
-
Yeah. I saw this morning about tornadoes around the US. It's 5 degrees @ 5 am. Supposed to go up to 11. We will see. Got Ed coming by in an hour or so to go get the groceries and then it's beer drinking on the balcony. Got to enjoy the warmth when I can. We had two days of almost sun up to this point. That's two days in a row of almost sun since early October. We only had one nice day between mid December and this week. If you want sunshine, this burg ain't the place.
-
Goodmorning everyone from this side of the ocean. Doing better with the hand but have to slowly build up. Six weeks from now the left wrist will be done aswell...o joy of joysOn the positive side, it does get me out of doing the dishes for 3 months.
I will start on new items for Poser though. Doctor said not to lift anything above 3 kilo and a mouse does not weigh 3 kilo's. He did mumble something about repetative movements but I'm back posing braids & tails for now.
Weather here is mostly wet, then again, this is the Netherlands where we have 4 seasons in one day.Renovation on our caravan-project has finally gotten started. Turning an old 70's caravan with extension into a nice modern chalet. If I figure out how the albums work I might post a before, during and after photo when it's done in a few months. We allready did the bathroom in there and that bathroom is better then the one I got at home.Either that says something about the skills of the workmen or the poor quality of social housing down here.
thelufias, I hope you are safe. That weather you describe sounds scaring to me.
Hugz all around
:mwah:
-
Oh; and where are my manners? Good morning everyone. Hope the week ends well and the weekend is better still.
-
Morning park. Joy of getting ready for work..
-
H'loooooooooooooo oot dere! (Bullwinkle D. Moose)
KLUNK!
snore zzzz snore zzzz ....
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready {pots were set to auto} the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a windy day here.
Nice to see you Pommerlis. But take care. A mouse isn't a 3kg thing, but the way you put your hand can work too much on it.
-
Pommerlis I didn't even notice you there when I was typing earlier. Good to hear the wrist is coming along.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Heyas Sanbie.
-
Back at ya Noshoba.
-
Good Morning Sanbie....
And Good to have you back Pommerlis....Easy does it....
Two Tornadoes touched down last night....
"The National Weather Service confirms two tornadoes hit Wisconsin, an EF1 near Albany and a high-end EF2 east of Evansville—with the possibility of one being upgraded to an EF3 after further aerial analysis and expert consultation."
Spent the day in Evansville helping with cleanup. Don't get to use my chainsaw often but I tell you what....My body rebels LOUDLY at the moment. Especially my arms. But they would be down here helping out if Monroe got hit....so all is good. And I'll be asleep damn early tonight....
But it was a first for Wisconsin....Tornadoes in February are now in the record book. The one near Albany (Farm Country) was a EF1 and no structural damage....just trees and fences etc...
The one in Evansville was a EF2 but they are now saying it will be upgraded to a EF3....(as if it makes a difference now...but....maybe it does to insurance company's)
So on that note....I'll see you in the morning...with the objective to drink all 5 pots of coffee before any of you get up :java: Ahhhhh
-
Yeah, Pommerlis is back!
TL, be careful! Yikes!
-
Wow TL you keep safe...
-
Indeed TL keep safe. Not sure you will get to the 5 before me lol.
-
Well I've been attacking the pots for the last half hour so you both lose. Got up to a booming 15 degrees yesterday. With some sun no less. Well it was nice while it lasted. Today, plus 3.
-
Goodmorning everyone,
Aelin, I will be carefull and rest my wrist regularly. Started watching Blender tutorials so that I can still remain busy. Here it is Carnaval-season, you can compare it a teeny-tiny bit with Mardi-Gras I guess. Everybody dresses up and the reign of the fool-prince starts for the next 5 days of drinking, dancing and acting silly. Mostly it's drinking. After that everybody is suppose to start fasting and being Catholic that means 40 days, 40 stands for each day the good Lord wandered around in the desert fighting of the devil. Nobody does that anymore though. But they do celebrate the traditional half-fasting after 20 days. And in some villages they do go to church for the traditional blessing before the carnaval and getting the charcoal cross on the forehead on ash wednesday but real fasting, nope. I no longer celebrate Carnaval, it's to much about the alcohol these days. Not so much about the party and having fun.
-
We shall see park. Morning. Well we are going to be in 70F today What can I say we are zigging around like a hummingbird.
-
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 porkchops with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
This time, a rainy day! Boys are looking the drops together.
TL take care with tornadoes this year. And with your body when helping. I'm sure you can help a way or another without tormenting your body.
-
Good Morning to all,
The only part of my body that is not terribly sore are my fingers....So typing is not that bad.
Lorna is on her way back from her week long vacation on a Cruise Ship. She saved up all year for that....so my wallet was very thankful. They just left Texas this morning...She'll be arriving LATE tonight.
I'm behind on everything so I better get started in here with :java: in hand....
And I'm letting the youngun's finish up with the clean up in Evansville. Three of us "Old Guys" rode up together yesterday....Three of us "Old Guys" are sitting on our asses and doing nothing today...Except drink plenty of :java: Ahhh
-
Good morning, PDG, Pommerlis, Noshoba, Fafnir, Aelina and TL. It's starting to feel like a full blown coffee shop again! :hug:
-
Yes indeed Sir Knight....Glad to see the place active .....
Was worried for a bit that we lost our charm.... :3flower; :java:
-
good morning everyone...don't know what woke me at 4am in the morning but now that I'm up I to will have a coffee Fafnir...
-
Morning Sanbie, might have drunk him dry.
-
Good Morning Sandie....Have a MARVELOUS DAY....
-
Dregs will do...my mouth is very dry lol...
-
Believe me....He has 5 pots of coffee going at once so you're good to go....speaking of which....I'll have another cup myself.... :java: Ahhhhhh
-
Mornin Sanbie always plenty of coffee
-
I found this smartphone video on YouTube of what I'm calling Morphing Shadow Art! I am totally amazed at the genius and imagination that was used to make this. Follow the link to see it!
https://youtube.com/shorts/8iseelbD8VI?si=PrpFBEui91G_2IAq
-
wow...that's incredible Agent
-
Mornin folks. Minus 5 at 5am. Spring was nice while it lasted.
I know what woke me up at 4am sanbie. The battering ram going through the door frame across the hall. They reinforced the door itself after the last time to slow down the cops. No where to go except off the balcony so I can only assume it's to give more time to the destruction of evidence.
-
So did they get arrested...might give you some peace and quiet for a while...
-
They drug two out. It'll be quiet till Monday or Tuesday when they go to court to make bail. Won't stop folk from beating on the door at all hours as the "customers" won't know the store is closed.
-
Goodmorning everybody, it's sunday and it's quite down here. Not many people around. I suspect most have a hangover and are still in bed after the first night on carnaval.
Anyhew, I've taken my first steps in Blender by starting the infamous donut-tutorial and since I'm old and date back to the computerless era I have to repeat the video's numerous times but,....I have the base of a donut and no idea how I managed that. Onto the icing I say.
But first,...coffee :java:
-
Morning sanbie and park. Sounds like a little to active. Fortunately, being relative, I live in a quiet cul-de-sac of a very bad neighborhood. So understand the feeling. Suspect the neighborhood will get regentrified in the next few years. Then will get interesting finding a new place.
-
Mornin' Noshoba. Gentrification won't happen here anymore. The neighbourhood used to get a facelift every 10 or 15 years. Not it's on the way faster than the hand basket travels.
Pommerlis I spent hours making greebles and nurnies in Blender yesterday. I started out making hull plating for the current contest and went down the rabbit hole. First was a good Cycles texture. Then I used Cell Fracture. Discombobulator is great but regular in output. Shrinkwrap required too much after work to clean it up. Ended up just making a bunch or greebles and snapping them. I find making the greebles and nurnies quite soothing as little to no pre-thought is required and you just go with it. Pull this, push that, add a sphere, maybe a cube. Maybe nothing. I lost hours yesterday but I've more kitbash pieces made than I'll use in the near future.
-
Good morning!
It's a mitigated day, apparently perfect for runners in a race in town. But... runners ran in the middle of cars. Not really good for the safety of the runners and drivers :thud: There was a guy with a pannel to stop cars at a crossroad, but the runners continued their way to the next crossroad without him (he had to run too after to follow them - go figure :shrug: ) and there are cars above, not counting the cars which, once able to go again, followed the runners on their way too :shrug:
Last year, they were more organized, not passing where the cars would still drive.
-
Hello everyone!
The day started like March, alternating rain and sun. The showers are ahead of schedule, it would be nice if spring arrived quickly.
I wish you a sweet Sunday and a wonderful week. Take care of you and your families.
:gday2: :rainy:
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges

Good Morning earwenM, Aelin, PDG, Sanbie, Noshoba, Pommerlis and guests
Been in and out of here all morning trying to get my VPN's to stop fighting. When I renewed my McAfee I did not know that they now include a free VPN.....unfortunately it's in battle with my Nord VPN which I've had since it came out. That McAfee is persistent....It shuts off my Nord and insists of being the main VPN. I don't trust it enough yet to do that so I finally won the battle and disabled it until I want it to run again. Backdoors are a wonderful thing.
Sounds like another wild night at the OK Coral PDG. You certainly do get a lot of free entertainment.
Good Morning Sanbie....Another day....another pot of coffee :java: ahhhhhh
earwenM....Have no clue what we'll end up having for weather today...right now it's 25 degrees...but they say we will hit 40 degrees sometime during the day...
You do get to see some fun things from your window Aelin LOL.....
Pommerlis....We are not old....we are aged to perfection....
Morning Noshoba....did you leave me some coffee? Opppps....I see you left one pot....Thank you :java: ahhhh
Our Spring weather, like PDG's Spring Weather, has gone bye bye for the time being..Somewhat....it's still warmer then normal for this time of year. Right now we are at 25 degrees but will end up with close to 40 degrees by 2PM...
And now to see what is what and who is where and what is why with :java: in hand....
-
Morning Fafnir.....are you behaving for the pup?
-
pup is behaving herself for now
-
My cats wish you luck...LOL
-
Good morning everyone...Fafnir lots of :java: please

DAZ has some new Iconic likenesses for Genesis 9. This one has been out for over a month or two, but the resemblance the iconic actor is striking. If you cannot recognize him, perhaps you've been living under a big rock? lol
This actor was just one of many that have portrayed one of the most iconic characters in movie history, and he was that character in several movies. Most of my friends and family think he was the best version of the character, and it is likely that many of you here will agree. This likeness though is from his later years, but he still looked good in his old age. He is no longer with us now, except in this likeness, and our fond memories. May he continue to Rest In Peace.

Ahh yes God ole Sean. Yes it's a very good likeness. Been a little leary of grabbing anything with a real likeness. The real people are now starting to react more to seeing what certain types have been doing with them.
-

I can understand that. What artist do with such a likeness might not fit into what the owners of those likenesses would do, or want done in their stead.
Sean had that suave demeanor as the agent he portrayed. I always wanted to see him reprise that role as an older man, who could still get the mission done, without too much trouble due to age! It would have been epic, for sure!
-
Can't disagree with that.

Glad you put that up....They are a great organization. The kids will be thrilled...
-
And no, I'm not watching the Super Bowl....I'll watch the halftime show though....I get a report on the score every 5 seconds from the daughter who IS a football fanatic. So far it's tied...and that's all I'm going to say LOLOL...
-
I wouldn't call it a tie 0-0 lol. Really hasn't started yet. They are both playing with their food.
-
Believe me....I'll hear her cheering or bitching depending on which team scores....
-
And as I was typing I just heard her cheering....LOLOL....
-
Honestly not really watching it either. Not a fan of the 49ers from their days in the old NFC West. And the Chiefs are meh. So just want an entertaining game. Following it on my phone while I work on other things.
-
Since she cheered I'm thinking the 49's scored....she likes them.
-
But I am switching over from my Faceoff to the Halftime show and then back to Faceoff LOLOL
-
Honest I don't even care for the commercials. Now if the Lions had made it I would have probably risked getting in a fight with the drunks to watch it. Haven't turned a TV on in about 30 years now.
-
I'm a TV person...always have been. TV Sound is better then Radio noise.... I seldom watch what's on fully...but hear all and glance up when it sounds interesting LOL...But not a big football fan. As mentioned, the wife was and the daughter is avid football fans.
-
My ex wife was addicted to so called reality TV. I lost total interest at that point but for sports. Really only football and hockey.
-
Was never a fan of that crap either....Nor was the wife...thankfully.
-
While I played sports in High School, I never really liked watching any games, other than the Olympics, and only certain events in that. Of course for the team sports I played, if I was on the bench, which was rare, I would watch and cheer for my team mates. The Sports I played in were as follows:
Basketball - one year for a school in Austin Texas, and one year for a school in my hometown of Abbeville South Carolina. We were undefeated both years.
Volleyball - I played at the same school in Abbeville. The win loss record was 8 wins, 5 losses. I had a knack for making an opposing team member eat the ball, and only ate it myself once.
Competitive Diving - Same school in Austin Texas; I won two best diver for specified dives, the Swan Dive, and a single flip with a half twist, beating out the guy that taught me those dives. He actually won the Double Gainer, the Jack Knife, The double stiff flip (no bending allowed in that dive), and a dive we made up called Explosive Splash (in which you had to make the biggest splash to win). He had that one perfected, and could win it every time.
Baseball - Also at the same school in Austin Texas. This was my best sport. I was the main Pitcher, and usually would last through the entire game, only having to switch out in two games. Even so we were undefeated, with every game being a No Hitter for the opposing teams. Coach had to bench me in at least two games to give my relief some time on the field, and he did good enough to keep the opposing teams' scores at zero. I was the best pitcher in the entire league I was playing in; with me being a lefty pitcher, that could throw a sidearm curveball that looked like it corkscrewed through the air at the batter. Almost no one could hit that pitch. In fact the only two that did popped up, and it was easy for me to catch it. In our League's series we won all of the games we had to play, and the extra game, after winning the first four. I got MVP (Most Valuable Player) in that series. I was not a power hitter on my team but I could usually make it to first or second base, and the guy that followed me at bat usually brought me home. As for my batting, I could bat lefty or righty, equally well. By the way, I can still throw that curveball, even now at almost 67 (Birthday coming up on February 24).
50 & 100 Yard Dash - I won two in the 50 and two in the 100.
Obstacle Run - I won five out of five events, due mainly to my sure-footed ability; being able to anticipate and plan how to avoid each obstacle! A counselor was the one that told me to sign up for that one, because he experienced my ability personally.
Footnote here: The person that taught me to dive was also on the Basketball team as my partner. In reality, I should say I was his partner. He was not really tall, 5'10" in his shoes, but he was a phenomenal player, all the same! In one game, our opponents had just made a basket, so I stepped out of bounds under the opposition basket and passed the ball in to him. He spun around and bounced the ball three times, then he launched the ball all the way to our basket, and it went Swish! Nothing but net. I was gobsmacked. If my jaw could have dropped all the way to the floor, it would have. It was the first time ever I saw anybody do that. The next time was several years later when a guy playing for the Atlanta Hawks did it. I saw that one on a news show. Before that time, people I told about what my partner did thought I was lying. Thing is, coach benched him for that. He asked my partner why he did it, and my partner said "I knew I could make it!"
Coach told him "Never do that again!" When he did it, it was like time stood still, while the ball seemed to slowly move toward the basket! When it went Swish, the entire gym roared with the amazed onlookers. I could not find my own voice, because I was the one that passed the ball in to him.
While I was a fair skilled player of sports, he was the best athlete I ever met, excelling in almost every sport he participated in.
-
Mornin folks. Didn't watch the football or the halftime. The commercials don't air here. All in all remained happily Taylor free last evening.
I won't get in to the wussy game played south of the border with their shorter, narrower field and an extra down to kick away the ball and cover their a$$es. Just kidding. I know the differences in the game and the rules and don't really care. I watched collage football when I was in university and not a lot of it.
I don't know any Usher music and didn't recognize most of the celebrities the cameras cut too. Woe is me. Old and in the way.
-
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 fish with all the trimmings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
didn't watch superbowl do know KC won wife did watch tho
-
Morning Fafnir. Yeah I didn't either. Lack of appeal. Typical Shanahan team choke in overtime. At least it was a game from what I could follow.
-
Park I used to follow both styles of football. It got decent coverage to allow it when I lived in Rochester back in HS. Why this southern boy likes hockey lol.
-
Good morning!
I was ready to talk here when I received a phone call. I have to go to prepare for a full job for the coming weekend. See you later!
-
Goodmorning everybody, it's sunday and it's quite down here. Not many people around. I suspect most have a hangover and are still in bed after the first night on carnaval.

Hey, you sound like me now! I am old and slow, and hard of hearing enough I got to replay some parts a dozen times to get the message. Ha! At least we ain't alone, Pommerlis! I still struggle with Modo, and occasionally have a blast with ZBrush. Heck I gotta do something useful with all the hardware I love piecing together, right? :oD
My Next Project for BadMoonRYZEN is taking all 12 SSD's I have accumulated and getting them all placed in proper racks inside the old case. Got most of the parts in now, so almost time to have my own private 'Carnival!' dancing with the ol computer! :woohoo: :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :shock: :explode: :thumb_up: :perverted: :i-beback: :yippee:
I am always Happy at this point in the build or upgrading. Cause I know I am gonna have me some FUN! :oD
-
Good Morning to all,
Darn it all....I missed the halftime show (like you PDG...I'm not up with the performers nor the music), all the commercials and the game....Because I was watching Faceoff on Sling.
Though I heard the play by play from the daughter and the bitching when her team lost. I ignored as much of the chatter as I could LOLOLOL...
It's a balmy 25 degrees out this morning....still a lot warmer then we typically get in February. Though looking back, last year on this date it was 49 degrees for a high and they are predicting close to the same for today (44 degrees). But look out New England and company....a BIG Snow Storm heading that way.
Good news on the job Aelin....Happy for you.....Can't wait to hear more.
-
Enjoy the rebuild Mc-G......All enjoyments we have are welcomed at our age LOLOL....

Thank you for including that link 'old man' !! ;o) That is in his finest Scottish whistling as he speaks accent! Opening role: Cannonball! The likeness is a good one. Not perfect of course, but good. What was your favorite role of his? Me, I enjoyed him in Outlander, The Rose, And his (character) teaching/training Cathryn Zeta Jones (character) to steal that artwork! The Laser beam floor exercises were spectacularly beautiful! I am sure you must agree!

Good morning everyone...

Hi Sanbie!

For me, Sean Connery was good in whatever he acted in. He had a way of owning the roles he played. Yes his Bond was the best of them all, and when he was Ramirez in Highlander, it was epic. He actually did better than the main character to me, giving his character a sense of colorful personality. But whatever role he took on, whether it was a lead role, or a supporting role, you could not forget him. It was always memorable.
Of the others that portrayed Bond, I liked Pierce Brosnan best, but he still could not hold a candle to Sean Connery.
Cheers!

It's not so much as that I am hard of hearing, just that English is not my native language so all that tech-talk is allready hard for me in Dutch. I need a decoder when it's in English and an Enigma machine when they throw in streettalk but Mr. Donut is exceptionally good in explaining it.
Building a computer for me is a whole different world. That I don't think I will ever manage in this lifetime. I can attach the cables to the right outlets though, does that count?! LOL
Weather is good, sunny but a bit cold. Back to slowly creating poses and of course "The Donut"

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready fully stocked bar as well 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

Morning... Killing time before work

Good morning. Maintenance day so working for the last two hours. Looks like snow this morning here.

Good morning!
Pommerlis, you aren't alone for the built of a comp. It's not something I would be able too.
Good luck with maintenance Sir Knight!

Our recent snow melted yesterday. And today is 61F and super sunny! Mogwai decided to shoot out the door when I checked the mail. He stayed close, but was putting on the Brave Act when I shut the door. He heard me roll off to the kitchen, and started yowling. Really? Brave puddy tat huh? Heh! Alan handed him to me. ;o)
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning sanbie, a little dateline fun.
-
Good Afternoon to all,
A very busy day and I'll leave it at that....So needless to say.....I'm am worn out and then some.
Guess we are in for some snow....but I doubt it. My Brother was suppose to get 8-10" of snow with high winds in RI. He got ahold of me said the snow has stopped, they had no winds...and only got 3-1/2 to 4"....which he doesn't have to shovel because he lives in a "Retirement Complex" as he likes to call it. I call it a old age subdivision....I've been there when I was traveling back East for the company LOL...
Anyway...I'm totally worn out and will be making a quick tour and then feed these critters and then shower and then relax....or sleep....whichever comes first.
-
Yeah; it's the WWE's birthday so I gave her a call. Asked if she got shoveled out yet from the storm the other day with this one on the way. Nope. She's on strike at the University and so is walking 11k steps a day, wearing a hole in the snow around a burning oil drum; waving signs and lamenting about her life time employment and benefits not being quite on par with Bezos or Musk yet and it's time somebody (besides herself) did something about that.
Her hubby, retired; won't do it because he has to dig out the 15 or 20 feet of snow drifted up against the barn, so he can get to the tractor, to clear the drive. He's only 71 or 72. Not too old for shoveling yet. Lazy bastard. Waiting for spring won't do the barn any good. That's how they lost my 1919 Baby Grande Chevrolet. Dropped a barn on it because it was too much work to clear the snow from the roof. Oh wait; I forgot; BIL is in Barbados on his winter golf vaca with the frat boys and won't be back till Sunday. She has two kids living not too far away. Maybe get one of them on the case.
-
O.o Why Would anyone Want to live with That Much Snow! I Mean I Live With 120 Heat in the Shade But 20 Feet of Snow! Why!?
-
PDG, I now have to see what your 1919 Baby Grande Chevrolet looked like! I'm a lover of classic automobiles. A big favorite of mine was my maternal Grandfather's 1957 Chevrolet Apache Pickup Truck. He kept that vehicle running and in great shape for 2 1/2 decades. I recall when he was using it to take Mom and her kids (including me) home from Griffin Georgia to Charleston South Carolina. A big snowstorm hit on the way, and we wound up unable to travel any further until the next day when road crews came and dozed the snow off the highway. We were bundled up like papooses, hugging each other for warmth. Grandpa Brown had to fix something under the truck before we could get going again. I never shivered so much in my life before or since. We finally got to Charleston, and asked him to stay with us for the night, but he had to get back to Griffin, as he was the Head Loom Fixer at Dundee Mill Number 5 and had to get to work as soon as he got home! That man was one dedicated worker, and I think I got much of my perfectionism from him. It was why his truck stayed in such great shape. I just applied my perfectionism to a different profession; Woodworking.
Thank you for reminding me of what my favorite classic vehicle is. Now I go to Google to find photoes of the 1919 Baby Grande Chevrolet!
-
I found photos of models up to 1916, but no 1919 model. It's crazy because I would think such a classic model would have photos. The 1916 was prewar, and if I'm correct the 1919 was postwar.
Just to show how clueless some people are, someone posted photos of a corvette with the caption "1919 Chevrolet Corvette for sale." The earliest Chevrolet Corvette I know of was the 1953 model! Corvette was not even a gleam in Chevrolet's proverbial eye in 1919! LOL
-
Good morning everyone.
Agent, the Baby Grande was my grandfathers. He bought it new and drove it from Flint Michigan to Charlottetown PEI in 1919. He used it to move his family all around the East Coast and did a flatbed truck conversion by removing the body in 1927. It was re assembled 1930 when my dad was given it. The snow crushed it and my '61 Dodge Phoenix. The '69 Barracuda is in the underground here. Hasn't seen the light of day in over 20 years. Well I have snuck it out a couple of times in the old days but not any more. I would be afraid to fire it up without breaking down the power train and rebuilding the seals, hoses, rings, and the like. I should try and sell it but it was always my favorite car, which is why I still have it.
-
O.o Why Would anyone Want to live with That Much Snow! I Mean I Live With 120 Heat in the Shade But 20 Feet of Snow! Why!?
It fell in 24 hours and there is another foot or so arriving today as I type this. As we all know; I don't live out East anymore for this exact reason. Nor'easters are bad all along the eastern seaboard down as far as RI or so.
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny day here. So far, there was only a tiny fight between Nenya and Eleni. Nothing to strong and since they slept together. Eleni is improving on sleeping with one or the other. Until recently, he couldn't resist to use the Twins like his preys when laying with one of them, and it ended with fights.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto this morning 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
-
Happy Valentines Day!!!!!
-
Morning and Happy Valentine's Day.
-
Happy Valentines to all....and from my critters to your critters.... :mwah: :3flower; :mwah:
It's warming up here....woke up to 26 degrees...Now at 33 degrees....which is still damn chilly. The outside furry clan ate their wet food FAST...They now know what the cold cold does.
Almost all of the tornado debris has been hauled away. What's left is to dangerous to deal with so the city and county workers will get the rest with their machinery. A lot of rebuilding needs to be done. Thankfully no major injuries nor deaths and no animal deaths reported either.
Aelin....I'm so glad I let BooBear stay in here after sneaking in quickly. Cali was the odd one out and was befriended mostly by Oz..not so much the others....But now Cali and BooBear play together constantly...Love it.
And now ON WITH THE SHOW...with :java: in hand
-
And it's a good thing that BooBear was in your home when Oz left. Like that Calie had somebody to be with. And... the black panthers in a team, the "different ones" in another :tearlaugh:
-
Exactly. My Bootsy still gets confused a lot but is more active now for some reason. She's up and about more then she is sleeping...and she actually allows others to be near her...for a moment or two LOL.
-
got Daisy a new harness as she is outgrowing the old one and she ain't to happy about it oh well she will get used to it kinda slows her down
-
LOL....Yup....she's wearing you both out pretty darn good LOL.
-
Love our local Weather Forecast Headline: "Spring Today....Snow Tomorrow" LOLOL
-
not wearing us out just growing vet visit soon
-
Same with my Brothers new pup....Growing fast....it's not going to be big....but it's bigger then it was...which was not that big....
-
To all of our members:
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning Sanbie. Hmm getting intrigued by an anime. Has an interesting retro feel. Ghost in the Shell feel.
-
Howdy Hey Sanbie....I've had a very busy day but let me say....Happy Happy Valentines Day.... :3flower;
-
Hi Sanbie
-
Hi sanbie.
Wish it was slow here today TL. Lot's going on in readiness for tomorrows storm. Ho Hum. Yet another? Everyone dug out and clear the downed trees? More of both on the way. Such lovely news for happy hearts day. More like heart attack on the way day. Even Ed dropped by this morning to take me shopping so he doesn't have to deal with the crappy traffic expected tomorrow through Friday afternoon.
Noshoba I dug out the old Macross saga a couple weeks ago as I was feeling a bit nostalgic. Was always a fan of that one.
-
Evening park. Yeah I go back and watch Frontier at least once year. The anime is Metallic Rouge and isa 25th anniversary original offering from Bones. The art style and storytelling is extremely nostalgic. Almost tempted to break out Ghost in the Shell just to compare the two.
-
Not sure what we going to get tomorrow PDG....the forecast has changed constantly and none of the TV Channels weather forecasts match....so.....I'll let the kittens look out the window and let me know what's it's doing....
-
Minor snow fluffies ATM so we shall see.
-
I used to watch the Macross Saga! I've been looking for Robotech rigged models for Poser and DAZ Studio of the Varitech Fighters. I'm talking about the one that looked like an F-14 Tomcat. I had a well made plastic model of that one that I put together myself, and it worked; with full shapeshifting and posing. I spent a couple hundred hours of pure fun putting it together. I also had the Varitech Cyclone Motorcycle that shifted to become a suit of powered armor for its rider, which it came with. Both the motorcycle and the rider were fully articulated. Having both models for Poser and DAZ Studio would be awesome, but alas, it seems that no one has made any. The closest I can find are models of Transformers, and while they are interesting, it's just not up to par to the show we used to watch; The Macross Saga! The only actual shape shifting model I've found from that series is SDF 1. Its shape shifting capability was limited even in the series, and to my way of thinking, it was way too big to be an effective fighting unit in and of itself; an easy target to take down. Still I collected that model for Poser, and it works in DAZ Studio as well. I do have several of the Mechs from the series, and they are rigged, so not all is bad on that front. It's just that of all the tech in the show, my favorite was the F-14 styled Varitech fighter, which had 3 main modes, just like the plastic model I had of it.
-
Agent the closest things you would find are Chris's models. I'm not sure which VP bought the rights to before he passed. Because I do have them. There was a Robotech manga being made at one point and he was so happy they asked to use his models for it. Sorry that opened some old wounds. He was a really good friend.
-
Goodmorning everyone,
Bit of a busy day today. Not much computer time this weekend because we will be out and about. Checking on the reno of our caravan. This afternoon some building material will be delivered so we'll be heading out there to see and support the working men with some needed snacks and brewskies.
I have started some new pose-sets for Dawn & LaFemme and a certain hairstyle, HR-229 it's called I think and it envolves the taming of a braid.
But first..... :java:
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls were up early made biscuits and bacon for you all for later on today there will be pork roast with all the fixings and tater wedges

Yeah; I have a lot of his stuff including the veritec type transforming mech and a few others. I'd have to dig through the achives as I haven't used it in some time so it's no longer in a current runtime. He was just down the road from me if I remember correctly.
-
And a good morning to all. Waiting for the snow. Well not really but what can you do?
-
Good morning!
-
Good Morning to all,
First off....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...ahhhhh
Morning PDG....No snow at all for my area...We were right on the edge...our temps stayed at 33 degrees all night and it jumped up to a super hot 34 degrees this morning. The Grandson said he got about 2" of the heavy wet snow in his area...So I guess we truly did luck out here.
Sound like a busy day indeed Pommerlis.....Have fun with all you do today.
Good Afternoon Aelin.....How's the clan doing today? Anything exciting happening....even if your day is half over?
I see Agent and Noshoba are talking shop already so I'll just say "GOOD MORNING" and leave it at that.
Not sure what the plans are for today. I think she works later in the day (Which means she'll be in my office, on my office computer, with the door shut from 2PM to 10PM).....More quiet time for me WOOOHOOO.
Now for some more :java: and then take a tour...
-
Cats are sleeping now. They started the day with the now new "we play altogether" in place to let Eleni playing alone. Good to look them while taking the breakfast.
But later in the morning, it seems Harmonie decided to fight Eleni. For once, he wasn't jumping on her nor on Nenya :shrug: Boys are great friends today. We'll see if it's true between now and the end of the evening.
-
Good Morning.
-
I think our four legged critters are kinda like us. Somedays we like to interact with our friends....and some days we complain about them.....but in the end....all is good....except maybe a squabble or two in between :tearlaugh:
Mine are worn out already. They all come up with new ways to get me to give them breakfast faster....
Unless it's very inventive....they wait.....I had to get the outside clan fed first in between downpours....
-
Good Moring M-C....You snuck in whilst I was typing my Novel. Hope your day is a super one.
-
Here cats have their wet food before our dinner. Like they have dry food all time, they can't take that excuse to try to wake us up :tearlaugh:
For yours, being inside is a privilege, they can accept the outside ones have a privilege for their breakfast first :tearlaugh:
-
Same here with the inside clan....We keep dry food out all the time next to their water dispenser....
Since the inside clan are REALLY REALLY picky wet food eaters....I only open one can and put a tablespoon of food in each of their bowls. Most of the time they just lick the juice and leave the food...so that goes back in the can and given to the outside critters for dinner. Works out great for me.
But on Fridays they get Tuna Fish. And most of the time...they enjoy that...emphasis on MOST of the time. And yes...the outside clan also gets Tuna on Fridays...
-
Good Morning folks!

Agent the closest things you would find are Chris's models. I'm not sure which VP bought the rights to before he passed. Because I do have them. There was a Robotech manga being made at one point and he was so happy they asked to use his models for it. Sorry that opened some old wounds. He was a really good friend.
Are they able to shapeshift? I ask because there were three shape modes the F-14 was able to take, and with the model I put together, I was able to find some between shapes.
I also had a very large collection of Transformers, and my favorite among them was Jet Fire. That one was also fashioned after the F-14 Tomcat. I had three of that one, in order to display it in all three main shape modes at the same time. And yet again, looking for a model for Poser and DAZ Studio that is fully rigged to do everything the physical models could do is an exercise in futility. If I had the skills to model such a complex figure, I would definitely do so. I would bet that my model would be sought after by 3D production companies to make 3D animated movies. I can only imagine the complex rigging such a model would need. But to me, making such a model would be fun, if I had the skill. It is the kind of work that I love doing. The problem is that I cannot find tutorials to teach me what I would need to know. Many of the needed ones probably don't even exist.
-
Yes agent. All of Chris's Mecha could assume all three modes. If you go over to my deviantART page you'll see pictures of all three modes of his veritechs.
-
PDG, I had a feeling you might have Chris's models. I suppose VP discontinued offering his models when he passed. I have seen other vendors' items cease to be available when they passed, so that is a believable practice. I would never disrespect any vendor that has passed.
You mentioned that he possibly lived nearby. Did you and he ever meet in person? I ask because I think that would be awesome. What would be even more awesome is to meet someone like that and be able to learn in person from that individual.
I am in awe that you and Noshoba have his models. I browse the models that are available at Vanishing Point on a regular basis, in the hopes that someday I will find a model I have been looking for, and especially the Varitech figures.
-
Yes agent. All of Chris's Mecha could assume all three modes. If you go over to my deviantART page you'll see pictures of all three modes of his veritechs.
Please provide a link to your DeviantArt Profile, because I am very interested in seeing what you have there. I have a profile there as well, and I post art there quite often. I also do somewhat lengthy short stories for some of my pieces. If you wish you can post links to your Varitech images, but I think it would ne more fun to browse through your art, and be surprised when I find them.
Something I just thought of is that those models might still be at VP, for a price, that I am unable to pay at this time. I seem to recall seeing some for sale there. I'll have to go to VP and check that theory out.

Here you go agent. Haven't used it in years..
https://www.deviantart.com/noshoba
-
Thank you.
I go now to see what's there.
-
Agent I posted a couple of images with Chris's mechs over on PFDLives years ago. Like Noshoba; my DA account has been dead and/or gone for years.
-
I have all of his stuff. I just wish he had released the one model , he made for his Vietnam renders. The USS Constellation , CV-64. Part of the reason, I had been modeling that futuristic variant you see over in my DA gallery. Would have loved to have finished but thanks to my modeling program going have to be online to use....
-
I checked out your DA Gallery and was impressed with how your modeling was going.
The Macross Saga images were awesome also.
My Pop served aboard the USS Independence #62. When I went aboard a later supercarrier, the F-14s had been developed and put into service. At that time, it was the best warplane in the world. All of the ones I saw had double cockpits, with the pilot behind the weapon operator. The plane could be flown by a single occupant as well, and in a case like that, he could operate the weapons also. I actually got to see one on the flightdeck, touch it, and climb up to see the cockpit interiors. That to me was exciting to say the least. I particularly liked its variable wings; widespread for slower than sound flight, and high maneuverability, and swept back for supersonic flight able to reach almost mach 3, if memory serves. And what a beautiful fighter jet it was!
Pop was in the US Navy for 21 years, 7 months. When he retired, he was a First Class Bosun's Mate and a Chief Petty Officer. He had more than a few medals. You might ask why he did not go higher in rank. Well he loved where he was in his Naval career, doing the jobs he was charged with. When high ranking officials or political figures came aboard his current ship, he was the one that Piped them Aboard. He was one of the only military men that could salute with the left hand, but only when he was piping some dignitary aboard.
As for the F-14 Tomcat being the one the VGF-14 Wildcat was fashioned after, now you know why it is my favorite Varitech Mecha!
Incidentally, I visited VP today to see if I was correct about Chris's models still being available. The VGF-14 Wildcat is there, and it is on sale; normal price $25.00 but sale price is $17.50. There is the Double Cockpit Pod for sale also for $5.00; a version of the single pod, but lengthened and redesigned for two occupants, fully compatible with the VGF-14 Wildcat. There are other products made to work with it also, which I am planning to get as soon as I can. So now I know I can still get the model I want so much!
:happydance: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Which modeling program are you using? I use Wings 3D, Blender, and believe it or not, Bryce 7.1 Pro (Yes, Bryce has some modeling capabilities; it even includes boolean operations). Wings 3D is my main modeling program, and I sometime use it to make UV maps for the models I make in it.
For texture making, I have several applications I use: each is used according to what model I am making textures for. None of the Modeling programs I use require one to be online to used them.
To me Wings 3D is the easiest to learn and use, but because of the way it operates, the models cannot be over around 75,000 Polygons. I have pushed it beyond that limit, but only through tricking its system to accept certain commands that are able to bypass the limits. That said, if I make my models in parts, I can do each part separately, and then assemble them in other programs, such as DAZ Studio and Blender.
I recently modeled something I still have in development that required the polygon count to be high indeed. Fortunately, I was able to model it in parts, which when assembled and then rigged, will be able to move like I want them to. This is going to be my most ambitious product to date, and I think when users see it, they will like it and possibly want it. I will be optimizing it for several figures, from the Millennium 3 figures, all the way up through the Genesis 2 Males and Females. I might even optimize it for Genesis 3 Males and Females. Each version will be for sale when I get my Fantasies Realm Market store up and running. As I am a perfectionist, I cannot say when the first version will be ready. I keep running into different rigging problems, as I try to make the bones work correctly. I push on though, because those problems are a good way to learn what not to do, and learn when to do certain steps. I know the basics of rigging now and even how to make the rigging remain in the model through a step called Memorize. It took me a bit to find that step, but I have found it now. I just need to get to a point where I can use it.

Good morning everyone...wow a lot of catching up I had to do...
-
Morning Sanbie.
Agent I used SketchUp Pro. It was easy to wrap my head around since it really worked well for someone with a traditional draftsman training like I had. I pretty much drew all of those lol.
-
Morning/Afternoon/Evening Sanbie....I'm covering all bases today LOLOL....and yes...very chatty in here today....which is a good thing...
-
Morning Sanbie.
Agent I used SketchUp Pro. It was easy to wrap my head around since it really worked well for someone with a traditional draftsman training like I had. I pretty much drew all of those lol.
As a traditional sketch artist, and a cabinet and furniture designer and builder, you might think I would be at home with SketchUp, but I am not good at drawing with a mouse, and I've never had a pad to do virtual drawing on. So for my modeling I stick to what works for me; mainly Wings 3D, and a bit of Bryce and Blender.
Funny thing is, I started modeling in 3d in a program you might think has no 3D modeling capability. But when I went to college I had to learn to use a computer. I bought a Toshiba Laptop because it was the best thing to carry to the college for computer class. I had to buy Microsoft Office 2007 Student edition. PowerPoint quickly became my favorite Office program, and Word was a close second. Those are still my two favorite office programs.
In PowerPoint I was able to dig deep into its secrets, and I found it's 3D capability, and its animation capability. So I modeled a cool looking spaceship, using what admittedly is the limited modeling tools in PowerPoint, and then I animated it to look like it was traveling through Hyperspace. The animation was about 3 minutes long at 24 frames per second. I showed that to my computer professor, and he was amazed.
"You did this in PowerPoint?" he asked.
"Yes." was my answer.
"I didn't know PowerPoint could be used like this!" he told me. "How did you find it?"
I said "I just like PowerPoint so much, I had to dig into it to see what it could do!"
He gave me extra credit for showing him that.
Of course by now I have moved on to better programs, choosing to use the programs I can get for free. But I still use PowerPoint, because there are things it can do that work well with my other artistic endeavors.

Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with all the trimmings, hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Mornin Fafnir and all the ships at sea.
-
Morning you two.
Agent I actually started with the old AutoCAD doing parking lot layouts lol. Since I do have all the parts of that carrier saved in obj files. I have been trying to learn Silo and Blender. Thing is all the guns and CIWS mounts all could be rotated and elevated. And had the blast barriers for aircraft launch set up as visibility options. So yeah I spent a lot of time on it.
-
Good morning!
It's a rainy day, and Harmonie and Eleni were in fight a part of the morning :shrug: Now they love again each other.
I know dRaCX recommanded us also the program named Anim8or
http://www.anim8or.com
but I wasn't very good with it. Maybe it can be more useful to drawing people.

ZBrush 2022!

I tell you what....either my mind has taken a walk without me or I'm still asleep....
I know I typed up a good morning greeting but I'll be damn if I can find it LOL....or I got so flustered trying to get the furry clan settled down I forgot to....
In either case..>GOOD MORNING< though I've been in here for 4 hours....trying to stay sane....
And now back to work in here....enjoy the day...with :java: in hand....

Your doin good Luffie

:lostme: I didn't see you at all in the 4 hours before you posted that message.
Does that mean Kianna is back turing around you and hide you?

Afternoon everyone

Good EVENING, Ladies & Gents! I mean, it IS 11 pm soooo yep.
Ever have one of those days, when ya wake up figuring Howdy Doody *MUST* be on and you're IN it?
OR (and?) your head is the Donkeys Butt in Pin The Tail ON...
Welcome to my world! Today was one of them days.
-
Goodmorning, here it's still morning. Barely but still.
Dropped my spouse of at the construction site (caravan) and made the promise of going back with some snacks this afternoon. That I can do so they've appointed me over-coffeemaker, senior-snackbringer and clean-upper.
Don't know about the last job though.....
-
Sounds like a junior position. Quite beneath you as senior-snackbringer and most importantly the high management position of over-coffeemaker. You need minions.
-
Good morning everybody. Cold and snowing. Nothing new there but I may have to sweep a space on the balcony to go out and smoke. My late wife quite smoking before her death and I promised her to smoke outside the apartment in her difference. I still maintain that, despite the fact there is nobody to comment if I should fire one up in here.
-
So I was going through my email this morning and it's blown up since yesterday. SORA went to Red Team release yesterday and I'm Red Team. I'm going to be busy for the next little bit and may not be in much. For those that don't know; this is SORA.

SORA sounds interesting PDG hope you don't get to busy
-
Pommerlis they should get you a clean up person since you are the head coffee supplier

Good Morning to all,
Never made it back in here in the afternoon. We had to bring Ozzy home. He's now on a shelf with my wife Linda and her dog Missy's ashes. They did a great job....Lorna bawled all the way home but once on the shelf with the rest of the family...she was relieved to have him back here. Family is Family...be it human or furry ones.
Morning PDG...That DOES look like fun.....it's the day and age of AI....though it's been around for a VERY VERY long time...
And Pommerlis....I totally agree with PDG...You need minions....
Aelin is working today so I've got to get busy and get our TOTW and SAOTW posted since the Grandson and Family are coming over this afternoon.
So on with the show with :java: in hand.
-
Morning Fafnir.....I'm thinking I'll need at least a pot or two of coffee this morning to get the engine going at full speed. That was a long drive back last night and I'm not a night time driver anymore. My eyes and I have arguments about what is in front of me.
-
Yes i know the feeling of eyes disagreeing with what you see at night give Lorna a hug from me glad Ozzie is home
-
Will do my friend....
-
Good afternoon!
It was a good day at job even if one of the machines made a joke almost at the beginning :hypno: The only thing I saw was to stop it and restart it. 10 seconds lost only (it's not a comp). Talking with a colleague who came at the end of the day to check, it was the exact thing to do. Glad I didn't break everything :tearlaugh:
People coming to visit the museum were friendly and with smiles. That's good to see. At the Summer season, it's not always the case.
And now, I'm trying to end to write. It's hard with a Nenya putting his butt not far of key board :psycho: He is so glad I'm at home, like if he never see me going some other days (but true most in the mornings).
Have a good visit from your family TL.
-
And according The Times, we number 1 museum to visit during teh olympic games.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/seven-secret-cultural-gems-france-olympics-times-luxury-bdgq3hnz6
What they don't precise is we'll have the full collection of Tolkien themed tapestries for Summer. 2 are currently in creation.

Bummer news TL. I have a candle burning for my wife's kitty today.
-
:hug: All our furry ones got buried in the garden at the farm. Not had one cross the rainbow bridge since I left, kinda glad of that.
Right now I could wish I was in Fafinr's neck of the woods, a few gators would make disposing of bodies soooo much easier :rat-atat: The a***hats across the drive were blasting music(?) till at least midnight making sleep a pipe dream. Couldn't even get hold of noise control as their phone lines were overloaded :explode:
I think someone better hand me the pot of special coffee before there is a call for a clean up crew in the basment :(DEVILISH):

O.o March is Getting Closer! :ahhhh:

The Ides of March :ahhhh:

Running into that now myself. Only problem they are two streets over.

Good morning everyone...

Morning Sanbie

Hi Noshoba...

Hi Sanbie

Good Evening,
Looks like a three day weekend is upon us. I do miss the times before they shifted the holidays to the weekends. It was nice to get a day off in the middle of the week.
-
Sounds like a junior position. Quite beneath you as senior-snackbringer and most importantly the high management position of over-coffeemaker. You need minions.
That's what I said but cleaning up is not their "thing" or so they say. I do sometimes use my scar on my right hand to indicate I'm severely hurt and can no longer sweap up. Carrying the cups of coffee was just to much. And they actually believe that. :tearlaugh:
The roof is on now so the hardest job is done. I can't wait 'till it's all finished though.
Rainy sunday today. Next week we'll pick up where we left things.

We have a fake holiday this weekend. Manufactured "Family Day" on Monday. Not a true stat so not everyone gets it off. Not everyone gets paid for the time off if they get it. Not the employee's choice weather or not to actually take the day off. Not a real holiday.

Just in time for the rain comes the roof. Good stuff.

SORA sounds interesting PDG hope you don't get to busy
The big thing I'm looking at is the coherence over time. One one side it becomes quite simple to create a 30 second television commercial or product placement. On the flip side is the ability to create a batch of fake video clips and string them together in an election ad in a way that the average person may not be able to see the fakes. The "drone camera" effect I mentioned to you is the biggest tell followed by inaccurate reflections and a repeat of motion among various "actors" in a scene. Look at the woman walking in the wet street. Mostly look at the reflections in the sunglasses of the crosswalk. That can't happen in reality as the angles of incidence for the reflections is different than that of the "camera" taking the shot.
There are built ins that mark the output as artificial but my misspent youth comes in to play here. I've long maintained "What man can make. Man can break. That's the C.hallenge O.f R.everse E.ngineering." and I'll leave it at that.
-
Almost forgot. Good morning everyone. Hope your day goes well and the weekend restful and fun although those two things are sometimes mutually exclusive.
-
Morning.. looks like the old bachelor's have the upper hand early in the churchlady fight at the laundry mat.
-
Oh we are already seeing that Fafnir. Was one of Trump praying in church. One mistake AI is really bad with hands. He had 6 fingers.
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ beef ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
That's pretty impressive seeing that place you work in Aelin and it being the #1 place to visit on that list. The Olympics does bring in the people and then some.
And yes PDG.....the loss of Ozzy was so sudden and unexpected. He was our number one baby. All of the little ones miss him but know he's home once again.

Travis and Mindy (The Grands) came over yesterday and Travis was in the mood to go bowling...which we normally do when they come down....but alas.....they didn't know what I knew happens at this time of year.
My wife was a avid bowler and had bowled a few 300 games....so I had to drive her around to all of the Southern Wisconsin State tournaments. They start the first week in February and the finals are in Milwaukee at the end of the Month. So needless to say....NONE of the Bowling alleys (And I mean NONE anywhere in the State) had open lanes for the whole weekend.
Se we ended up going to the Depot (A local pub) and play pool and shot darts. It was fun. I drank my Sprite...they had their beer....I'm won all three games of pool but sucked at darts....totally....They spent more time chasing my darts then throwing theirs.... :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:

Good afternoon!
Not sure in fact olympics bring so many people in the country. Plenty tickets aren't sold. It's at the point also that the opening ceremony passed from supposedly 900 000 visitors (all the long of the Seine) to 500 0000 then 400 000 and now 300 000. And not counting that nobody wants to work for that event because the work is only benevolent. You have to find by yourself where to live and how to eat. Prices are up usually in Paris and all around but the olympics was the excuse to explode the prices for Summer season. I guess tourists can avoid that area of France, but will they come in other parts of the country, that is the question.
But yeah, we'll see at what point we'll come close of our records and if we pass them during Summer.
As longer as you didn't hurt someone with your darts :tearlaugh:
It's always good to have our babies back home, even if not under the 'shape' we liked them.
-
I was wondering about how well the Olympics would do in Paris....I guess we shall see. But prices always increase no matter where the Olympics go. That "MAKE WHILE YOU CAN" motto is true no matter what the venue is.
The Darts here all have plastic tips in places where they serve alcohol and that is a GOOD thing.

They tried that here. The operative word being "tried." Didn't go over too well. I still have a set of 18 gram darts and the "disco darts" which are blimp shaped and weigh in at 21 grams. Drunker you get the heaver the dart it seems. I played in a pub league every Sunday afternoon for years. Guinness does tend to put the weight on you though. Only time you could get me to drink it. Too heavy. As mentioned before; I loved bowling as well, but grew up on Candle Pin. It was the standard bowling type in ever alley as I grew up. Nasty places those bowling alleys when I was young. They had pool tables, pinball machines, and bars. The drinking kind not the iron type over the boarded up windows; though sometimes one might have both.

Have you ever played Snooker? I did, and was quite good. I played pool too, and was good at it also; but I liked Snooker because it is on a different table that is slightly longer than a pool table, and the pockets are shaped differently from Pool pockets. That makes the game more challenging, and I like that. I had 3 pool sticks I played with, but the one I used for Snooker was my favorite.
As for darts, I had a set of tournament darts, and the dart board. These darts had steel tips, sharp as a tac. When I played a game with my friends, no drinking was allowed. One guy tried to sneak a mixed drink in, one time, but we could smell the alcohol easily. We barred him from entering the room we played in. He got P-Oed, but we told him he knew the rules before he tried, and he had to apologize.
Another game we used to play was Foosball. I and my partner were pretty good at it. His name was Tommy Stevenson, and we worked together at the Abbeville County Memorial Hospital in Abbeville SC (my hometown). He owned and operated a Foosball Parlor, and hosted a Foosball Tournament once a month. He had twelve Foosball Tables in the place, five Pinball machines, a Pool Table, and a Snooker Table. He also had a Bumper Pool Table, which a mean customer destroyed when he couldn't sink any balls. His willful destruction got him arrested and thrown in jail. Turned out he was on some kind of drug that makes you mean. Tommy couldn't find another good Bumper Pool Table.

I think I mentioned this before but I grew up with Duckpin Bowling....and Yes....Our bowling alleys back then and NOW had a bar, pool tables, slot machines, dart boards, etc etc etc...though I don't think they had dart boards in the bowling alley in Newport but they did have one in the Middletown Bowling alley where we went to.
It was a Navy town and the townfolk and swabbies (https://danthenavyman.blogspot.com/2021/05/two-swabbies.html) sometimes got on each others nerves....and darts would not be a good thing to have around....LOL

And nope Agent....Never played snooker....heard of it though...

I rented a place that had a pool table in the basement. The owner was a real clean freak and used to get bent out of shape when my cat would come down to watch a game. He watched the balls but wasn't overly keen on the sound of really sharp collisions. Never went near the table, but Vince was a dick freaking out that the cat would trash the felt. Or would get hair on it and he'd have to vacuum. Looser. Imagine his surprise when he came down one night after work to smoke a doobie and shoot a game only to find a 250 pound Siberian tiger lying on his precious pool table. He never mentioned the 5 pound British Short-hair ever again. Think I posted one or two of those old photos here or PFD. Some thread about people's real images as in relation to their avatars or some such thing. I'm old, smoke a lot of pot; and drink. The memory tends to get a little foggy at times.

A real Siberian Tiger? Wow, and Double Wow! Never had the chance to see one up close, but I have seen a real Liger hear in Georgia. That one was at an animal preserve close to where I now live. The Preserve is at the Pine Mountain State Park. I wanted to pet the Liger, but was not allowed to get close enough to him. He was the biggest cat I've ever seen live. They told me he was as docile as a puppy. I asked if there was any way I could get a job caring for him, but no jobs were available. Then I asked if I could volunteer to help care for him. They had all the volunteers they could handle. He was a really beautiful cat.

Having a problem with the Gallery. The requirements say an image cannot be more than 2 MB, but my image was only 1.8 MB, and it did not allow the upload, say it "exceeds the limit". So I try different methods to reduce the size of the image without losing too much of the detail. The first method saved at 1.9 MB. The second method saved at 1.52 MB. The third method saved at 1.6 MB. Of these methods, the second one lost too much of the fine detail I wished to preserve.
I'm at a loss to know what to do! :lostme:
Here is the posted limits:
1. Maximum allowed file size = 2MB
2. Width or Height = 2500 px

I have hit that a couple of times, provided both the pixel size and MB size are with in limits I normally just rename the one I want to upload after the first rejection and any fiddling I might have done and the renamed one normally loads no problems. Don't ask me why it works but it dose

I can't get it to work!

Yes. She was real Agent. Traveled in her own Limo. A Caddy with the back seating removed. Had weekly flights of specially prepared chickens from Tenn. Zoo food.
-
Oh we are already seeing that Fafnir. Was one of Trump praying in church. One mistake AI is really bad with hands. He had 6 fingers.
Yeah. This isn't about fake Trump, naked Taylor Swift, or another black-face Trudeau picture. As TL mentions, we've been able to do that with Photoshop and other tools for years. The newer models have better tuning. If your result has six fingers then you are not up to date with your weights (models). Most folk are using the NAI leak or a version of Stable Diffusion based off that 'leak'. Any SD; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.1; all the way up to until XL have been based in part on that anime pornography model. That's why you can get an image using Danbooru and Deepdanbooru prompting. Newer models are a lot less likely to mess up hands but are also a lot less likely to reproduce your favorite celebs. On purpose.
This is more about the viral video that portrays a situation that isn't exactly as it happened or even happened at all. A train derailment that didn't happen. A talking head news story hoax. It's not about recognizable faces doing unreal things. It's about the unreal things themselves. Seeing is believing. Nope not a chance. So to that end there are checks and balances being placed into models. More than just a watermark. That is where Red Team comes in. We try and break or subvert output to break the telltails in it. The noise poisoning and other techniques in use. People question their fav celeb or politician in a compromising situation. They don't think twice about questioning a traffic report or situational video.

Good morning!

Hello everyone!
This morning a real treat, birds everywhere singing wonderfully, as if spring was already here. This is a signal for a great week.
I wish you a sweet day, a bright week. Take care of yourself, your families, your animals. :gday2:
-
Good Morning to all,
A lovely chilly morning but not a cold morning....if that makes any sense....it's early yet. Got a lot to do in here today....so I'm going to make this short....
Coffee Please.... :java: Ahhhhhhh
-
Yes. She was real Agent. Traveled in her own Limo. A Caddy with the back seating removed. Had weekly flights of specially prepared chickens from Tenn. Zoo food.
No doubt, she was really beautiful. Who was her Hooman? It is obvious that she was tame (ish?).

PDG/Fafnir.......My Mothers favorite saying was always: Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see. That's really stretching it nowadays LOL.....
-
Aelin.....In case your wondering....the bug in my kitty gif got out safely....their human scooped it up and put it outside....that version did not have a working link...darn it all.

I believed it was a false mouse. It was a fearless one for going in the middle of the kittens!
-
Morning afternoon. Sorry park would responded sooner but was dealing with a drunk coworker. You so lost me there with the models. But then I am still learning the stuff. Tend to use just a set few. Trying to find the safe ones been an issue tóo lol. Too many of them like to "inflate" things even when the prompts say don't.

A buddy of mine. His wife was a stripper from the States whom he divorced many years previously and got custody of the kid (kitten/cub) due to her lifestyle at the time. Long story. I've lived many lives.

As did I....and half of them I don't remember :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:

Been there. Been that. Many years owning a bar. (Many lives Agent.)
Yeah. Helium is a thing. The NAI 'leak.'
The debatable results using AI are easily overcome if you know how to use the tools. That is the problem. The tools change almost daily. It's a band wagon everyone wants to jump on for fear of missing out on the tunes. Better to learn small steps, but the pace of change makes everyone want to jump to the conclusion without reading the book. That's the hype of AI. You can find out that the butler did it, how and why; and you didn't even need to read all the boring facts that lead to the actual conclusion. Coles/Cliff Notes for life. That's where people like me come in. How do you trust the conclusion to be representative of the story?

Age does not so much grant wisdom as it does experience. Wisdom fades but the memories that do remain seem to grow stronger and much more colourful.

Ha!! I remembered. Agent that photo was posted to this thread a number of years a go. It came up in conversation with a long time member I haven't seen post in a long time. We were discussion our two wheeled friends a few miles north of here with a compound patrolled by a lion. Yes, a rather large male lion. Bikers are nervous folk. The question at the time was about the news story detailing cops trapped in their patrol car by a large cat. Who's was it?

Police officers,
helicopter track
down Siberian tiger
in north Pickering
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING — It was a tale
of a tiger in north Pickering this
week that police and others in the
area won’t soon forget.
Around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday,
Durham Regional Police respond-
ed to calls a tiger was seen head-
ing east across Brock Road on
railroad tracks just south of
Taunton Road. The report brought
out the force’s Air 1 helicopter and
a slew of police officers to follow
the big cat around the neighbour-
hood before she was finally sur-
rounded in front of Bradshaw’s
Towing on Old Taunton Road.
That’s when Qadesh, the 13-
year-old celebrity Siberian tiger,
climbed on top of one of the police
cruisers with an officer inside, and
sat patiently waiting for the offi-
cers’ next move.
“I noticed the cruisers out on
the street and we all came outside
to see what was going on,” said
Brenda Bradshaw, owner of the
towing company. “We saw the
tiger come out from behind the
house across the road, walk right
across the street onto our property
and then hop on top of the cruis-
ers.”
Police stood back waiting for
animal control officers and Toron-
to Zoo keepers, who then calmly
coaxed Qadesh into a cage.
“I’ve never seen anything like
this before,” said Durham Region-
al Police Acting Sergeant Cindy
Bradley. “(Zoo keepers) coaxed
her down off the car and she was
playing with them.”
“She’s a pretty friendly cat,”
said Tony Meulman, senior keeper
at the Zoo. “She’s pretty tame,
very docile and we coaxed and slid
her off the police car and into the
cage with no problems.”
-
She was taught that cops were her friends, hence her hopping on to the cop car when it arrived. Red flashing lights.
-
That was some story....don't recall seeing it....but then again....I don't recall waking up this morning :java: Ahhhhh
-
She was taught that cops were her friends, hence her hopping on to the cop car when it arrived. Red flashing lights.
This was the tiger that your friend mentioned earlier had, right? So what happened after the incident?

For once Queensland wasn't the highest recorded temperature...This went to Western Australia (WA)
The temperature in Carnarvon hit a whopping 49.9C, which according to WeatherZone is the highest temperature recorded in the world so far this year.
A bird flying into power lines caused the spark to hit the ground which was so dry...away it went...the fire was brought under control quickly and no houses were lost...

I don't recall if I posted about this before, but here goes:
At the age of 13 I used to do a job for my school's lunchroom after lunch time was over. I did the job well, and got all the cinnamon buns and milk I wanted for the job I did.
One day I was leaving the lunchroom after finishing off my treat. The main entrance to the school building was just across the hall from the lunchroom entrance. A man came walking in with a 10 month old spotted leopard on a leash. When the leopard saw me, he tried to drag his master over to me. I was scared at first, and was trying to get back into the lunchroom, but the door was locked already. The man said "it's alright! He just wants you to pet him!"
So I tentatively put my hand on his head. He was like a big version of a domestic cat, loving my touch, and the strokes of my hand! It was an exquisite feeling, being able to pet a leopard.

When you go to Dream World here...you can pat the tigers...and get photos with them...very popular they are lol

Goodmorning everyone :java:

Good morning Pommerlis 4.10 pm here...hope you have a great day...

Crap. 50c. No thanks. We get power outages here from animals. Raccoons seem to climb everywhere
-
This was the tiger that your friend mentioned earlier had, right? So what happened after the incident?
Both Quadesh the stripper tiger, and Leo the biker lion; were just too much for the animal activists so they pushed for, and obtained; laws that forbid exotic animals in the City. "Bread not Circuses" was the war cry and all animal acts are banned in the province. No Ringling Bros. Barnum and Baily or any other type of such entertainment. If Circue du Soleil used any animals other than horses being Canadian wouldn't save them. Horses are the only non-pet type animals acceptable in the city.

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

Good morning!

Good Morning to all,
I would have been in here sooner but Henrietta ate breakfast to fast this morning I guess. After breakfast she jumped on my bed...which wasn't made yet because they BUG ME until I feed them....and baptized my sheets and part of the bedspread. Needless to say....I've been busy doing laundry....and no....No scolding or yelling...just told her to slow down on the eating....and next time pick Lornas bed. :java:
Other then that....confused as always....thought I had a ultrasound scheduled for today...got all prim and proper...waited for the phone to remind me about the appointment....NOTHING....looked at the calendar...and the appt is for tomorrow morning :thud:
I think after the laundry is done I'm going back to bed and start the day all over...
Tis 31 degrees but I guess we'll be at 53 for a high later in the day....One hell of a Winter....Don't know how to dress anymore. By Wednesday we'll be close to 60 degrees....:thud:

Hello everyone!
As you pass by, I wish you a wonderful day. Take care of yourself!

And you have a wonderful evening.... :grpwave:

SAND SPRINGS, Okla. —
An Oklahoma woman is about to turn 100, but it's really only her 25th birthday.
Mary Forsythe was born on Feb. 29, 1924 — Leap Day.
And since leap years come around every four years, she will technically celebrate her 25th birthday this year.
The party got started a little early as the Sand Springs community gathered to celebrate Forsythe.
History.com says only about 5 million people worldwide have a Leap Day birthday and that the odds of being born on Leap Day stand at about 1-in-1,461.

Time for a beer. It is/was Prove Your Poverty Day otherwise known as lease renewal. As we all know I live Rent Geared to Income. In order to qualify every year for RGI I must prove I'm poor by giving up last years tax return. The government is my landlord and they want to know every little detail of my life or they bump my rent up to the going rate. The pdg moves out of here and in to the bushes in High Park behind the second tree to the left rate. I'll be training the squirrels to run a treadmill in order to power the computers.
This is the rub:
The last day for an employer, government department, or anyone else to mail out your tax related paperwork is the last day of February. The 29th this year.
The first day that the Canada Revenue Agency (IRS/Tax Dept. in US) will accept your return for processing is yesterday. "Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the processing of your return." Up to a further 2 to 4 weeks if you require official paper copies of your accessed return to be sent via by Canada Post.
Yesterday was a statuary holiday. No Govt. offices open.
Tomorrow the office in the building is closed due to a scheduled water shutdown. There is another on Friday. The law won't let them shut it down for more than 12 hours except for emergency repairs so two occasions this week.
My lease renewal is due to be in their hands no later than Friday with all the required paperwork in place.
Do the math. Government efficiency at it's finest. Every year it's the same thing. Sans the water issues of course. We want YOU to deal with what we cannot and if you don't get it together "You're outta here!" Very stressful. Need a beer.

SAND SPRINGS, Okla. —
An Oklahoma woman is about to turn 100, but it's really only her 25th birthday.
Mary Forsythe was born on Feb. 29, 1924 — Leap Day.
And since leap years come around every four years, she will technically celebrate her 25th birthday this year.
The party got started a little early as the Sand Springs community gathered to celebrate Forsythe.
History.com says only about 5 million people worldwide have a Leap Day birthday and that the odds of being born on Leap Day stand at about 1-in-1,461.
Funny. I just mentioned feb 29 in passing.

I was reading it as you posted your comment LOL.........That's the way it is all for folks whose income shouldn't be considered income. Grew up that way....I think the 5 of us boys spent more time hiding under the bed and being quiet then we did playing LOL... We knew someone would be banging on the door .... then they would go away.....but we were told to play upstairs....until the next alarm came....which it always did....
-
Holy Cr*p TL...what a way to grow up...
Oh yeah...good morning everyone...
-
Living where we did in a housing project the "hide under the bed routine" seemed normal for all of the kids in the neighborhood....so we never complained...it was a way of life and there were fun times also....We had a wooded area nearby with our wonderful Miantonomi Park Tower to play in....(It's no longer open to the public..to many folks with no respect for history)
-
How awesome is that...as kids...your own castle to play in...I guess we all have had our trying times as children...they do say if you know no different then that is normal living...
-
I grew up in several different states, because Dad was in the US Navy.
Two different cities in Virginia, at two different times; Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach.
Two different cities in South Carolina, at two different times, Charleston and Abbeville; the latter also was where I was born.
One city in Texas, Austin; for two years as a teen.
One city in Rhode Island, Portland; as a baby, up to the age of about 8 or 9 months.
So you see, my childhood was one of pulling up roots and replanting in the next city. You might think it would have affected my grades in school but it didn't. When I quit school in the 12th grade, because of an issue I had with people trying to make me what they wanted me to be, I already had the equivalent education of a two year college student. Not only that, I was a well rounded athlete, have participated in several sports, Basketball, Baseball (My best sport), Competitive Diving, and Volleyball. On top of that, I became a pretty good singer, artist, and cook. No hiding under the beds for me and my siblings, though I did hide from the neighborhood bullies, when I could. I also got beaten up a lot when they ganged up on me. One on one, I could hold my own though. I guess a lot of us go through tough times when we are kids.
-
Well I got my new image to post this time. Had to do part of it in Bryce, and the rest in DAZ Studio. I rendered the biggest file in Bryce, then used it as a backdrop for what I did in DAZ Studio. In that way I was able to preserve the detail, keep the file size small, while making the pixel size big. It worked good this 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 gator and sausage gumbo with Cajun rice and all the fixings tater wedges too
-
Morning Fafnir and all that.
-
GOod morning!
-
Good Morning to you Aelin....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.........
A short visit this morning....Got to get ready for my Clinic Appt.
Yup Sandie...it was awesome. Behind the tower there were rocky cliffs that we climbed to get to the tower...More fun then walking to the front of it.....unless you slipped and got some scrapes and bruises...which happened to me many times LOLOL...
Agent....Living in a Navy Town I had many many friends come and go....and yes...it was tough for both sides of the coin.
Morning Noshoba....
And to all.....I shall return....keep that :java: hot.....
-
One city in Rhode Island, Portland; as a baby, up to the age of about 8 or 9 months.
Did you mean Portsmouth RI Agent? No Portland in RI.....
Pascoag, RI
Pawtucket, RI
Portsmouth, RI
Providence, RI
-
Did you mean Portsmouth RI Agent? No Portland in RI.....
Pascoag, RI
Pawtucket, RI

My bad! Blaming it on brain fog! It was actually Providence RI. My only other excuse is "Well? I was just a baby, so I can't remember anything about it." LOL
-
Good morning everyone...I had the best nights sleep last night...lets hope it keeps me in good stead for the day!
-
Mornin Sanbie hope your day goes well
-
Hi Fafnir...hope yours does also...
-
Good Evening to all,
Had a busy busy clinic day and then had to make a trip to "Mad City" (Madison)....and then was worn out.....But....Looks like I didn't miss much. So on with the show with :java: in hand...
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be BLT's with all the fixings plenty of extra bacon and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a mixed day, sometimes the rain sometimes the sun. But wind likes to stay around.
After a beginning of day with a fight between Harmonie and Eleni, now the 3 babies are fine together.
-
Good morning, Fafnir and Aelin. It has been clear and cold for many days in a row here.
My siblings and I used to fight and then play together just like the babies, Aelin. :iminnocent:
-
My cousins were mostly in fight, either the 2 sisters, or the 2 brothers from the other branch. I can't tell myself like I'm a only child.
With Juliette and Tania, they had fights once in a time. Giroflée and Puce it was regular, until Giro hurt her sister, then she tried to fight less.
For the Twins, they were more and more fighting after Puce left us. They are more quiet now, even if they have their days or evenings to fight each other without reason. Eleni likes to fight one then the other, especially in the morning :shrug: Yet, he makes efforts on himself to fight less.
-
Morning...they are doing good today. Using Starbucks WiFi. My phone is down do to someone taking down /out the major tower for my phone provider..full moon strikes
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....and Good Morning Sir Knight, Aelin, and Noshoba and whoever I missed saying Good Morning To.......
They say it's going to get up to 55 today...and then tomorrow and possibly Saturday we'll have snow :thud:....and then back into the 60's by Sunday. Very very strange weather everywhere.....and we haven't even got to March which is normally the most screwed up Month of the year.
Anyway, all of the inside and outside furry ones have been fed and bird feeders filled. Filled the bird feeders at 5:30 AM and they are already half empty. The birds are pretty smart....Hit the feeders while the cats and kittens are eating LOLOLOL....
No plans for the day as of yet....but the day has just begun....so we shall see.
Now to enjoy a pot of coffee or two...
-
Took them 8 hrs but service back up and running.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be BLT's with all the fixings plenty of extra bacon and tater wedges
My brother and I were thinking you might need help cooking tonight. We promise we'll only eat half of the sandwiches! LOL
-
Took them 8 hrs but service back up and running.
Good news indeed.....Now enjoy the rest of the day.....
-
My brother and I were thinking you might need help cooking tonight. We promise we'll only eat half of the sandwiches! LOL
He might be worn out by then....He's been chatting with me on the phone while waiting for his wife to get done with her Eye appointment. Started the call at 10:06 AM my time....just got done with the call....and he's still waiting...
-
Anyone following this.....I've been keeping track all morning:

Good morning everyone...Just heard temps going to reach 37 today...so got my aircon going full tack now to keep things cool...
-
I'm at 58 degrees at the moment....But alas...winter returns tomorrow....and then the rest of the week will be Spring like temps....
-
Goodmorning everyone. This weekend we're chilling on the coach, at least that is the plan. We will have to get some groceries, bring some food&drink to the workmen and check out the work. But we're planning at least a whole day of doing nothing but watching TV.
Now for some much needed :java:
-
Coffee after blood draw for me
-
Morning...can you survive waiting that long?
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all Jake has a fully stocked bar to serve any drinks you may want and for later on there will be prime rib with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
I just might make it but will have a cup of coffee with me
-
Ah immediate transfusion to replace the blood loss.
-
yes for sure got to have mostly coffee flowing in veins
-
Hi all!
Almost the weekend here, with weather alternating between big, cold showers and a few rays of sunshine.
I hope this day brings you very good things. Take good care of yourself and your human or animal families.
Have a good day!
:gday2:
-
Greetings All! I',m just a few hours away from 67! Time sure flies at my age! Them ore of it you put behind you, the less you have in front of you! Makes one wish we could turn back our personal biological clocks. But I can't complain,... much.

Early Happy birthday Agent
-
Thanks, Noshoba.
Was planning to go to the Pine Mountain Park tomorrow, but no one can afford the gas to get there. So I'll be staying at home and having a small celebration with my two brothers. I'll make some Birthday Blueberry Muffins, and we'll have them hot with butter on them. They will probably sing Crappy Birthday to me! We'll have some good fun!
Cheers!

Good Afternoon to all,
Had a very busy morning and I'll leave it at that....Needless to say....I'm worn out. Yesterday...woke up to the warmth of the day....this morning....back to chilly willy......Though now it's warmed up some. They had snow in the forecast but I'm thinking we are beyond that point....but I better zip it before Mother Nature hears me.
Good Afternoon earwenM.....Hope the morning was good to you....I hear you're in charge of the Kitty Kat Clan today....Have they been behaving?
Have a Happy Birthday Agent....It's not what you do....it's who you do it with that counts. Enjoy.... We go Bowling (https://leisurelanesmonroe.com/) on my Birthday....Two games...a pitcher of pop for me and the great grands....a pitcher of beer for the others....and I'm happy. No gifts required.
How many pokes did it take to get the blood flowing Fafnir. For me it's always just one or two pokes and they got it...unless it's a newbie...and yes, they ask if I mind if they can use me as a guinea pig.
-
Good afternoon!
It was a pretty intense day at job, not by the number of visitors (something in the average) but by their shopping and the talks we had. I think several of them will be back for the Tolkien's exhibition. I learnt also I'll work the next weekend, which wasn't said before; I won't complain!
Otherwise, our farmers are back on the roads (some never stopped), like many in Europe in general.
Oh, and our forecast weather is also in strike. Not that we see a huge difference :tearlaugh: But the working people don't like an automatic program and ask for more real people working in their services. I can understand when they give examples of the stupidity of the program: 28°C in the middle of Winter for a town, or snow when and where it's not, same for the thunderstorms.
We had a huge rain today and guess what? It was exactly when I had to go at the job, on my feet :thud: Had to clean the puddle from my parka several times once there. That's life, but I prefer rain when I'm inside :tearlaugh:

Be nice if I could do that lying flat on me arse, but couldn't see the screen so that's out. Otherwise, attempting to rig up PS headset for the laptap. Got it cooking real good for the desktop, but we shall see. With the way the days have been going, that might turn out to be a dire necessity. Still attempting to work on my projects, but my muses are still not playing fair. The little darlin's hop in, say Hi!, then jump right back out.
-
Sounds like an interesting day indeed Aelin....but I know you loved it. And glad to hear they asked you to come back next weekend.
As for the weather....Mother Nature knows exactly when you step outside......
-
Yep, and when I'm not happy she doubles the thing :tearlaugh:
-
At least you checked in to let us know you're still kicking HS.....And we all have those periods in time when nothing is truly nothing and that what you want to do....Nothing. So all is good.
Just don't do nothing for to long....or it becomes a habit...and we all know how hard it is to kick a habit.

I used to go bowling a lot, but when I started, I had a hard time finding a lefty ball that was right for me. I eventually bought my own and had it bored to my specifications. My ball was royal purple with pearlessence. Won a couple tournaments with it.
On the bloodwork subject, I have what is called floating veins, and when a doctor comes at me with the needle to draw blood, I tell him to let the nurse do it. That's because the last doctor that tried kept missing the vein, and jabbed me with the needle multiple times. After so many times, when he made ready to jab again, I threatened him with bodily harm if he did not let the nurse do it! He thought about it, and decided he did not want me to punch his lights out. The Nurse was able to hit my floating vein the first time. When the doctor was doing it, I wondered how I had come to a torture chamber! Another thing he was doing wrong was continue to use the same needle for each jab; not good for a patient's health, for sure! I was working at that hospital, and if I had punched the doctor, I would have lost my job. Thing is I had steadier hands than he did. The Medical Examiner/Pathologist I worked with kept wondering why I did not become a surgeon.

Thanks Sanbie. The event is tomorrow, on Saturday. It was going to be me, all my brothers and sisters, and their family members that were able to make it, but the high price of gas threw that plan out the window in a stiff wind. :blownaway:
-
Lornas problem is twofold Agent....Small veins and floating veins....
-
took 2 different ladies to get my blood this morning
-
first lady couldn't find vein other lady hit vein first time for 2 blood draws
-
Yeah as I've got older...they are finding it very hard to find the vein...that's when you become like a pin cushion!
-
Alcohol keeps the blood thin and free flowing. I outta know <g> Helps with the damn cold too. -21c I mean really? Haven't we got over that by now? Sucks. Better be warmer tomorrow. I no longer have a lift and it was too damn cold to push a buggy this morning out for groceries this morning.
No Ed anymore for groceries. He got a new job this week. Well; he's turning 60 in March so they are giving him a day shift. The construction on the new residential tower in his parking lot has started and sleep during the day is all but non-existent. Started last fall and is happening for the next three years. Told the company get it together or he has to walk. He's getting to old to work all night and stay awake all day. They gave him a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 Big Boss Man gig. He's happy, His wife's happy, His kid's pissed. Now he has to get his own car instead of taking Ed's to work every day. He works about an hour and a bit away by car. Transit really is a pissy option if he has to take it.
Happy B'Day Agent. Hope it was a good one. I'll have a blood thinner for ya while I check tomorrow's weather.
-
Afternoon sanbie. Hope you've had better sleeping weather lately. Fall/Autumn will be along soon.
OK dumb question; I should probably look up so as not to display my ignorance. Do the trees change colour and lose their leaves come Fall? After all; that's why we call it that, and not Autumn around here. No. Really. It's a serious question.
-
Happy Birth Day Agent
-
Not a dumb question park. As a general yes. Although sometimes leaf can happen sooner or later depending on things.. Leaves here really didn't start falling til late November/early December this year.

My blood is thin anyway. If I get a serious cut. I bleed a lot, if I don't pinch it off until it coagulates. Takes about 20 to 30 minutes to do that! So I do all I can to keep my cuts as small as possible. My blood is also iron poor, meaning my hemoglobin is low. To compensate my lungs are about 20 t0 25 percent larger than most men my size, which works out for me as a singer, because it allows me to sustain notes insanely long. LOL
Someday soon I'll upload a recording of me and my brother singing. We used to have a band with my youngest sister, and we had a good local following. Nothing like sibling harmony!

Your info is correct, but I think you knew the answer already. Afterall, you are a gardener, right?
-

Same here in Georgia!
-
Yes on the leaves falling off the trees in the fall...but this year it was a late start. Still warm enough to confuse the trees, and the animals, and the birds, and the bugs and many humans....
-
The snow has melted and most of my yard is still green...not the crappy fall brown. And the grass is long...but I'll be damned if I mow this early in the year...I'm praying for snow.
Maybe that's not such a good idea....shoveling comes to mind then....
-
Sorry to hear about your rides ending with Ed PDG....But happy to hear that Ed got an advancement and the dayshift....
-
Happy Birth Day Agent
Thanks Fafnir. What do ya have planned for breakfast in the Morning? I'm sure it will be something yummy!

True Noshoba...though we don't seem to get the same fall colours that you lot do...well not that I have noticed anyway...they seem to turn brown then fall...that's it lol
-
It might have been.....to small for me to see LOLOL....
It is a little boggling that a creature that is totally built for motion can maintain a completely still pose for hours at a time. I have noticed my cat Mogwai doing just that. Then suddenly I see this little brown blur streaking at near light speed across the kitchen floor. It really looked like a shadow zipping across that floor. Then even more sudden, Mogwai makes the perfect lunge at and nabs that mouse. Crunch. Then drop, bat it a bit see if it moves. No? Good, pick it up and take it to Daddy! I make a great fuss over my Big Hunter! I take his gift, and go flush it properly. Heh! Mogwai's hunting agility is very impressive! But, he is no longer a kitten at nearly 12 years!
-
Wow great cat...we have 2 here...1 is mine and 1 my daughters...my cat is not interested at all...just looks and walks away...my daughters cat is very interested...like yours sits and wait...but he is too fat to be any good and the mouse gets away everytime lol
-
and he is currently snoring between me and keyboard. nose and rear feet on keyboard. :)
-
Our cat McCartney caught and ate 9 mice in just two hours! He might look slow when he's not hunting, but when he knows where some mice or rats are, he will get real still, crouched like the proverbial lion statue. Let one of the mice or rats show themselves for a fleeting second, and he's like the Flash; in less than a second he has it! I watched him that day when he caught nine mice. He caught every member of the nest they were in. After five had already become meals for him, he camped out next to the nest to the side of the only way out, then he would tap on the outside of that nest, scaring one or two out into the open. When two came out, one right after the other. He killed the first one and then the second one all in less than 3 seconds. Then he ate them in the reverse order.
Now he is a fat cat, or so he appears; but all of that size is actually muscle. When I have him in my lap I check out his health, and what my hands feel is not anything like fat.
-
Well; it's still -21 and getting colder TL. Our green grass finally gave it up completely only a week or two ago. Not that there is really any grass around here except the school yard the geese live in.
Leaf fall was late here as well. Sanbie; not being familiar with Aus. flora and fauna it was a serious question. The only possibly deciduous tree I actually know of is eucalyptus. I couldn't remember having ever heard mention of fall colours or falling leaves anywhere.
At any rate fafnir, I need a coffee or three and the appropriate fortification. It's cold and I'm out of juice and milk, amongst other things I need to survive till next month; so it will be off to the grocery, with or without ice cleats and hand warmers.
Without going in to a long story; here is the conclusion: ...After about 15 minutes of fighting to reach the mouse chasing it back and forth behind the couch; Case and I discovered the "mouse" was actually a "dust bunny" made of his and my hair, and the wind from our batting at it was making it move back and forth.
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Hands PDG a steamin mug of C&C with a double shot of Creek

Good Morning to all....
You got the frigid cold.....I got the snow PDG.....about 2" now...but slowing down. 24 degrees at the moment and then 60 degrees for Sunday :thud: If this keeps up I'll be wearing shorts outside with a winter hat and gloves.....and Hot coffee in one hand and Iced Coffee in the other...but for now I'll take a hot :java: ...I drink that year round...
I think I have to make a run to Wally World later in the day....we shall see.
But in the meantime....Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....and now I've got to get the snow on the road...Ummm....I mean show....not snow....though it IS snowing.....somewhat....
As for Cats, Kittens and mice....No mice inside my abode....we love our outside cats and kittens....they keep the Mickey Mouse Club Members at low numbers....and I've got a full force guarding my place LOL...
-
Good morning!
And good for Molly to be around ;) Puce did the same and must still be around, specially when you feel hair on your leg but the 3 cats are sleeping quietly.
-
Morning..churchladies dealt with and the mood for a little nostalgia,..watching Appleseed. Almost wish they would remake it to improve the visuals.
-
Does anybody able to vote for the contest of Rendo? I tried but I have no option to vote for any image - even the ones I don't want to vote for.
-
Morning Noshoba.....Enjoy the day.....And Appleseed....
-
Hello everybody.
The sun comes back a little but the cold is here again.
I hope you are all doing as well as possible?
May your weekend be bright and filled with blessings. Take care of yourself!
:gday2:
-
Does anybody able to vote for the contest of Rendo? I tried but I have no option to vote for any image - even the ones I don't want to vote for.
I'll head over later in the day and see what's up....
-
Good Morning to you earwenM
Cold here also....and snow is still on the ground from last nights flurries...
-
I Also Do not see a Way to vote at Rendo I Do not think they have activated that option was to start on the 23 so they might be late in getting there stuff done.
-
I never made it over there....thanks for the update Rad...
-
Good morning everyone...
-
When I woke this morning, I was still seeing snow flurries and eddies, soft banking of fresh fallen snow. Then I snapped out of my reverie when I saw the thermometer read 76°F and the sun beaming through all the windows! I turned the thermostat down even further. Sigh. So, off to the kitchen, Fafnir gots COFFEE on! :yippee:
-
Mornin' 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 bacon wrapped scallops with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Morning.. no trips this morning. Eyeballs hurt from making textures..
-
Good morning!
If you see somebody passing like that :blownaway: it's just me with the wind we have today :tearlaugh:
-
Well either Rendo has an issue for votes and of course doesn't work on the weekend (what the point to start a voting thing then? :shrug: ), or the votation stuff is now only available for prime members.
Thank you Rad for your checking yesterday :mwah:
-
:gday: :huggy: :feelgood: :thumb_up: :Hi5: :toast: :aaah!: :yes:
-
Good Morning to all,
Late start but it's Sunday....and it's allowed..... No plans for the day....but we all know how that goes. It's a nice 49 degrees out...but this morning was a windy one. The outside furry clan were valiant in defeating the wind to get to their food bowls. I think Aelin sent the wind this way. And yes, Good morning Aelin....even if you DID send the wind this way.
And Good Morning PDG, Agent, Noshoba, Fafnir, and others I can't see....and I think that about covers it unless someone is seeing what I'm not seeing that should be seen but has not been.
Confused yet??? Caffeine will clear that up....:java:
I'll be in here on and off today. Time to start on the Taxes....always fun...new rules...that are supposed to clarify the new rules they put in last year.....but most likely won't....and changes nothing...since it's our Government at work....which says it all. I do it a little at a time...this way I don't get too riled up.
I start with Lornas taxes first so if it's not accepted, I know I did something wrong and won't do it that way on my taxes. :java:
Enjoy your day...... :java: Ahhhhhhh
-
Good morning everyone...
-
What a marvelous afternoon. Temps reached 58 degrees, no winds...plenty of sun...though it's now starting to cloud up.... Got a lot done....well.....If playing with the outside kittens counts. But alas...all good things must come to an end....and we have Snow in forecast once again....
-
Howdy Hey Sanbie.....Have a Marvelous Day
-
Morning/evening Sanbie
-
Hope you all have a great day/night TL and Noshoba

Was Looking at the Renderosity Pinup Contest And look Down the info page and found this.
Voting Rules
The winners will be selected by Judges: Renderosity Staff.
Maybe there is no Popular Vote?
-
Good morning to everyone.
Sounds like it Rad.
TL I did my taxes the other day. Rent renewal time. Took about 20 minutes to do the paper forums. No idea about calling it in or going on-line to do them. Our govt. keeps getting hacked. Last I saw the RCMP (national cops) had their's breached last week. I refuse to do anything with the govt. via anything other way than "I got a paper copy right here Pal. Try again!" We've both been around longer than the govt.'s computer systems. When you are poorer than dirt, and a few years older than it; taxes are really just another reason to find the correct pair of glasses out of the three pair I wear on a daily basis.
-
I just left Rendo. Indeed; users cannot vote on the swimwear images. Staff will pick the winner. I find it strange that you can put no identifying info in or on the image but can promote the living crap out of it online. Post your masterpiece on the sites of your choice and link the sh!t out of it. So much for trying to keep popularity out of picks.
-
Ain't got much use for rendo since they deleted a couple of my images cause they didn't have a content advisory attached to them
-
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 fixings hot sauces and tater wedges
-
Good morning, PDG and Fafnir. I hope you have a good day. Back to the office this morning for me.
-
Goodafternoon on this very rainy & windy monday. Lovely weather to stay indoors and do absolutely nothing. At least, our dachshund thinks so. :java:
-
Good Morning to all,
A brisk 32 degrees but loving the sunshine....and then we have a snow storm in the forecast LOLOL. I expect this type of weather pattern in March.....Not in February...
PDG.....Been doing the taxes on line for so long I wouldn't know how to do it on paper anymore LOLOL. And if anything gets hacked....more power to them....but never had that happen...knock on wood. Of course I do the daughters first and send it in to see if anything odd happens....
And I can definitely relate to the switching off on the glasses....I've got two pair of glasses...both trifocals that I use daily...and one pair of bifocals on reserve :thud:
Good Afternoon to you Pommerlis ...enjoy the day...and give the dachshund a pet on the head for me.
Hope your day in the office goes fast Sir Knight.....enjoy your :java:
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...How's the pup doing....got him trained yet.... :peep:
-
Good morning!
It was a rainy day here, and a lot of rain was for the afternoon. Thanks to that, we had plenty visitors, the 3/4 just for the afternoon :hypno:
Perhaps Rendo found they offer too much reward points? But that's strange, like they have the label "vote now" on the image to present the contest - last time I checked yesterday.
Oh well, their choice... and will winners be different than the other pinup years? We'll see, if we remind a contest happened on their site :shrug:
-
Good morning everyone...My cat just woke me up by jumping on my head...ahhh some mornings!
-
Good alarm clock.
-
Mine wake me at 3 AM Zooming around the house! :3flower;
-
My cat has been screaming blue bloody murder just about nonstop since I picked her up from the cattery yesterday, yes that included though out most of last night, and just tried to upend and smash my big bowl of crystals :thud:
At least it all meant Faelan was up in plenty of time to get to school.
Can I go back to bed now?
-
:peep: Evening all. Just got back to doing my thing - or a reasonable facsimile thereof - Had to take a long break as have been attempting to get daughter sorted out. Again. Got a real nice headache running now and not a drop of anything decent to drink. Amazing the situations that girl/woman can get herself into. 45yrs old and still can't handle certain situations without screaming for aid and assistance.
:ahhhh:
Oooooooookay, got that out of my system. Hopefully can get back to some semblance of normalcy in the next few days. Without dealing with the younguns.
Think I finally made a deal with the muses that we can both stick with. Been considering a few scifi images as well as time at the ol' swimmin' hole. Although that idea about D and D sounds pretty good. Played that a lot during my younger days. Still got my books, as well as my character sheets/dice/ets somewheres 'round here . . . . . . .
-
Hipshot; I've a shelf full of D&D material behind me. Everything from the old coloured boxes up till Wizards of the Coast took over. I ran a campaign every Sunday for many years. I remember when we were all Satanists for playing such a corrupt game and out to pervert the minds of youth. I never understood that.
-
And I guess I should wish you all a good morning and great start to your week.
-
Morning. -grins- I guess we grew up to be a bunch of pervs. Yeah I still had a bunch of my stuff before the divorce.
-
So it has come to my attention that today is Tuesday, not Monday as was my original belief. More coffee, less rye, we'll try again.
-
Morning. -grins- I guess we grew up to be a bunch of pervs. Yeah I still had a bunch of my stuff before the divorce.
Perverts aren't a problem. The particular perversion involved may be a totally different story however. :perverted:
-
Well you know how loud they scream if they knew you were forgetting the day of the week. Well you know how those types were. Imagination is a crime. You have to think exactly like me and no other.
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's another rainy day but less than yesterday. Was lucky to do outside stuff when it wasn't too bad.
-
Hello everyone!
Rain, rain, rain...Gene Kelly would be at the party...lol
I hope the weather is better where you are? Here the soils are saturated with water.
I wish you a wonderful day. Take care of yourself!
:rainy: :gday2:
-
Good Morning to all,
Have had a very busy morning and I'm Slow Slow Slow today. Had my 6 Month checkup with Olivia....and then got the Covid AND Flu shot....My arms are aching, my heads spinning, already had a couple of furry ones mad at me.
I forgot they were in the bathroom and laying in the shower stall. I shut the door not even thinking about it. About an hour goes by and I see two sets of paws flicking back and fourth under the door....So I opened the door and they gave me a dirty look......and went back into the shower stall :thud:
Other then that....I'm thinking I'll be taking a nap sometime today LOL.....Enjoy the day folks
-
:peep: Hey PDG. I can well remember such sentiments as well. Meh. Still liked to play. Nice for when its a slow day on the weekend. Or even a long weekend. Just chill out, grab your gear, sit back and kill things. Good times there.
Have not had to do taxes as yet. Still no W2 forms from Aliene's work. Need to check on that. Oh well.
-
I have all the paperwork on my desk....and that's about as far as it's going to get today LOLOL

All my regular players developed lives over the years. Imagine that. Time goes by and weekends become more precious for various reasons.
Taxes, as noted earlier; took me more time to get to the mail and post than to do in the first place.
-
Good hump day everyone...
-
Hiya, sanbie. Still another 6 1/2 hours before we're on hump day in Eastern NA. But I certainly wish you a happy one!
-
Hmmm! I played D&D for a few weeks, but lost interest, perhaps too quickly. It's not that I did not enjoy playing; rather it's because I have other interests that are far more enjoyable. The character I was playing was a Tiefling.
Many of our group moved on to other things around the same time, which threw a big monkey wrench into the mix. Certain plans were not getting implemented, because key players were not there to do their parts. When a game like D&D loses key players, it practically destroys the storyline.
I still have my multiple dice that have different numbers of sides. My biggest one has 100 sides, and my favorite one has 13.
So I made up another game that uses all of the many different dice. The game is called "Score", and it involves math. Certain colored dice determine what functions are used for a roll. A twenty sided dice with a four sided dice tells us which dice to use in a particular role. The score for one roll is the sum of all dice rolled and calculated according to the functions determined.
A game can have just one roll after the determiners are rolled for each player (called Quick Score), or from four to ten rolls per player (called Long Score). In each case the opponent to the left of the person whose turn it is, rolls the determiner dice to determine how many and which types of dice are rolled, and which mathematical functions will be used, and how those functions are applied. When playing the game it is a must to have at least one calculator handy. A notebook and pen is used to record all aspects of the game, so it is advised to have one of those handy also. I have also used MS Office Excel to create a computer scoring spreadsheet. In Excel the calculations can be done without the need for a calculator.
This game was invented by me, because of all the different dice I acquired for D&D. I wanted to find, or create new ways to use those dice. So I at least have D&D to thank for giving me a reason to invent the game of Score.
-
Good hump day everyone...
Good night sanbie and a good Wednesday morn to you all. I know it's Wednesday for sure. sanbie said so. I've been a little confused up to know 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 fried snapper with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning, parkdalegardener and sandbie too if you're still here.
The days blur together for me anyway but working with a company in Australia confuses me even more. :whattodo:
-
Good Morning Indeed.....And yes....tis HUMP DAY.....which....at one time in my life...meant something :java:
PDG....We are sitting at 12 degrees and WINDY this morning....But no storms even though they predicted them. I just saw on the news that Chicago had some tornadoes touch down. They were predicting them for us.... Guess Mother Nature figured we had enough for the time being.
Morning Sir Knight....Hope the day goes fast for you....Being that it's Hump Day.......And when I worked with other countries, at times I actually had to stay up half the night to wait for teleconferences to start. Got worse when the internet came around....LOL....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....I think I can lift my super sized coffee mug now without my arm falling off....
And good Morning to all that are out and about but not seen.....Hope the day will be a awesome one.
-
Have a Good Night Sanbie....
-
Wednesday now? Already? Good. Whew, yesterdays outing to the VA was a rough one. I was to get a cat scan of foot/leg to see whassup with flow. I am thinking, not so good. Expected though. It is what the last year of hurry up and wait stuff has been about.
Good news, with the sugar down so low, it isn't way worse than it is already. Sigh. Doing best I can folks. Trying hard to keep as much of my old body parts attached that I can!
-
Hope You are Ok? Wild fires in Pan Handle of Texas Your Area!?
-
Good night sanbie and a good Wednesday morn to you all. I know it's Wednesday for sure. sanbie said so. I've been a little confused up to know it seems.
Hope you are okay there pdg...you don't sound so good.
-
Good afternoon!
-
Hope you are okay there pdg...you don't sound so good.
Considering I typed know instead of now earlier; one never knows. Or is it nows? My head hurts. <g> No really; I've been suffering migraine type headaches lately and my doc never made it through CoVID; so it's go to a walk-in clinic and take a seat. Current wait time: about 2 and a half days in that seat. Don't get up for coffee or a trip to the washroom. Your chair will get put to the back of the line and given to someone else. If you can find a clinic. Not worth it and complaining what my {insert curse of choice} Provincial Govt. did to the health system belongs in a different thread. If things don't resolve in a couple of days I've an alternative, though somewhat costly; that I can resort to. I just hope it doesn't get to that.
-
OMG...I knew something was wrong...please just take it easy...or maybe use that alternative route now...
-
Yeah take it easy and try to get it looked at. Migraines could be a warning for something else.
-
Exactly Noshoba...
-
PDG....I have a friend who I've know for years in Nova Scotia and she said the same thing about the Medical System. She said "Someday" has a new meaning when dealing with it.
-
Yeah take it easy and try to get it looked at. Migraines could be a warning for something else.
I agree with both Noshoba and Sanbie...Keep pestering them...
-
Is it Posable That The Air in your house is Too Dry and you might want to boil some water to humidify your house a bit! o.O
-
Hope You are Ok? Wild fires in Pan Handle of Texas Your Area!?
Mostly NE and N of us here, but we get some smoke from all that. Plus the wind can push it our way. There was a call for voluntary evac, most stayed.
I am OK though.
-
Welcome to Leap Day! There is a 100 year old woman that is celebrating her 25th actual birthday today! She was born 100 years ago on February 29, 1924, and she is still alive! Being born on a leap day means you are perhaps one of the rarest people on Earth. I have to wonder how many babies will be born today! I also wonder if anybody is collecting that data for the purpose of reporting it! I hope to see the report if one is posted online!
Happy unique birthday to all who were born on Leap Day!
:bday1: :cheer: :peek: :cool: :thumb_up: :foru: :urock: :balloons2:
-
Goodmorning everybody from this side of the ocean. Please PDG, take good care of yourself and I agree with Thelufias. Keep pestering them.And McGrandpa stay safe.
-
Go see the Doc PDG please
-
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 hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning.. I have a younger brother that has survived 2 brain aneurysms. So it's important to get that looked into.
-
Good morning!
Take care of you PDG.
-
See pdg...we all agree...you need to take care of yourself!
-
Good Morning to all....
A late start today. Had things that needed doneing....and the doneing is done....finally....
Sad news is.....I missed my normal 2 pots of morning coffee.....so look out Fafnir....I'll start depleting your coffee pots shortly... :java: Ahhhhhhh
Saw more of the fire reports in Texas on the news. Wow...and only 4% contained....But there is no such thing as Global Warming. Ask our Politicians... Glad your safe McG....if the smoke gets closer...find a safe place to go...
We'll be close to 70 in the following days....Birds, Animals and Humans are confused....I know I am LOL. But as mentioned....I'll be damned if I'm going to mow a lawn in February....OR March for that matter.
How's the head feeling today PDG.....??? Lots of folks in here are as concerned as I am...
-
Good morning all...another hot sunny day here in QLD...
-
Mornin Sanbie hope you are having a great day
-
Morning Sanbie.....It's another hot day here also...it made it up to 35 degrees....which is actually warm for this time of year....and then....they are forcasting 70+ degrees for the rest of the week. I miss my snow and I'll never bitch about shoveling it ever again....well not this Winter anyway....
-
Good afternoon Folks! It rained today! Most wildfires out now, smoke is almost gone. I am being safe too, Pommerlis!
PDG, if I can find my way to the docs, you got to too!
-
Glad you got some rain McG.....that should ease things up a little....
-
I do hope pdgs okay...he seems to have disappeared...
-
I'm concerned also...Hope he took our advice....
-
Yea i hope so too worried bout him i am
-
I do hope pdgs okay...he seems to have disappeared...
\
He did say it would be a long wait at that clinic. Buuuuutttt . . . THIS long?
-
Morning Sanbie. Yeah I have to agree. Hope he is ok as well.
-
Ahhh! That rain came in with the cold front. No smoke in the forecast, and have a fire weather warning, normal for here. Not the red FIRE WARNING when there are active ones. Yep, from 86F to 33F in one 12 hr shift! Me, I had a nurse visit this morning, then slept 9 hrs, loved every second of it! :o)
-
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 gator gumbo with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Last time he moved on the forum was 11:10:25 AM yesterday. The forum shows me the 'french hour', so to find the real time for Americas, remove 6 hours from that total for East Coast, 7 for TL and so on so on.
He profited to congratulate Rad for his 5000 messages on our forum.
-
Good Morning to all,
A chilly start to the day but that's fine....I'm done with my outsiding for a bit. I say that now but with temps on the rise.....I know my mind will change my mind...Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....
All the outside critters are fed...except for the birds. No sense putting food in the feeders....the feeders are swinging like wind chimes and the birds would get whiplash trying to hang on. Maybe later in the day when the winds are suppose to calm down a bit.
Anyway....time to take a tour with :java: in hand....enjoy the day....
-
Ah! I know now from where comes the strong wind we have time to time since the end of the morning.
-
LOL....just might be Aelin.....I gave in and went outside to put birdseed into the feeders....the bare tree was full of live birds waiting for me to finish....and below them....2 kittens ready to play "Catch me if you can" with the birds.... The cats have gave up on that game...but the kittens are persistent. The only way to get to the feeders is to high jump...and by the time they get themselves energized enough to jump...the birds fly to the top of the tree LOLOL.
-
Goodevening, been a bit busy and will be even more busy the coming days.We have to clean out the muck & trash at our caravan that the guys left when putting in the base of the roof and floor. They are working on the walls now - frame or something whatever.Anyhew, we're suppose to collect and sort the trash, empty the extra storage and clean up the lot a bit.Sunday I promised us a day out shopping.... :thumb_up:
-
And remember....NEVER EVER Break a promise....it will cost you more in the end.....this is the voice of experience talking
:iminnocent:
-
Good morning everyone...hope you all have had a good day...
-
Morning Sanbie. Good timing just finished laughing. Got a phone call asking if I was interested in buying the place I used live in when I was at VCU.
-
What is VCU...and it must be good to have you laughing so hard!
-
Virginia Commonwealth University... Don't even live in the state anymore. Curious how they got my name since I was renting the place with 3 others.
-
Wow they must be desperate for money if they are doing that!
-
Well we are talking about 40 years ago. So why the surprise
-
No, I was just thinking how hard life is for some to have to get to the point of ringing around to sell their home.
-
Oh no it's always been a rental multifamily location near the university. So no one losing their home. Actually owners back then lived in South Africa. So really no one losing their home.
-
Oh good to know...
-
Scam 101 it sounds like....and poor research on their part....
-
My thought too, TL. ;o)
-
Oh I don't disagree. After all they backtracked with a sorry wrong number lol. Getting used to it. Had to access a real estate site to get access to pics of a job we were doing. Ever since my Gmail has been getting flooded with offers for 1.4 or more houses for sale that I might be interested in. Lol. Believe me if I could afford those places I wouldn't be working.
-
I'm in a computer mood today..... I'm watchin Hackers for the umpteenth time....
-
Ohhhh me. Did they get anything right in that movie? :OMFG:
-
Hey McG, I was over at ShareCG and looking at the Poser products, and noted that you have some uploaded there, concerning Centaurs! That is exactly what I was looking for, so I downloaded the ones for V4 and M4 with the Millennium Horse. I don't have the Millennium Foal, but If I did, I would grab the ones that are for it too; Aiko 3, and The Kids 4. Gotta see if the Millennium Foal is still available.
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Ohhhh me. Did they get anything right in that movie? :OMFG:
Yes they did...they had Angelina Jolie in the movie....in her almost outfits....that was enough to convince me that she was a computer wiz.... :java:
-
Morning Fafnir....
Thanks for the :java: ..... Keep those pots full.
Today is Lornas Birthday....she's now 53....does it make me feel older.....NO.....I was already feeling old LOL....
Anyway....we'll see what the day brings.
Hope all have a good one....and now to start getting done what needs doneing in here with :java: in hand....
-
tell Lorna Happy Birthday for me Luffie
-
As soon as she's done with hibernation....I shall do that my friend....and CONGRATS ...... :toast:
-
Almost Noon here, so I'd better get my Good Morning in before it's too late!
Good Morning!
-
Many a time I've said Good Morning at Mid Day....Sometimes that IS morning for me LOLOL...
So in saying that....GOOD MORNING
-
Some days I can't find the time to visit here, so I must apologize for not making it in on those days. My only excuse is Schedules, Schedules, Schedules!
-
Mine is usually Clinic Clinic and Clinic or Walmart Walmart Walmart. Take your pick
-
Good afternoon!
Had a very busy day at job and am now trying to convince Eleni than all tricks showed by Harmonie aren't necessarily good ideas... not really obtaining results alas :shrug:
We had mainly sun today, even if between clouds. Then just has I left from job place, lo and behold! Big rain on the way, until home. With a good soul driver who found fun to splash me when I was half way home :thud: Cold rain, cold weather, I'm glad the dinner was a good warm soup.
-
Alas....Umbrellas don't work on splashes unless the vehicle is coming towards you....
I think you told us this before....but for those who have memory loss on a daily basis, how far is your walk from your work?
And the clan here needs no one nor any critter to teach them tricks...Like right now...Henrietta is ready to jump from the arm of the couch to the cat stand....which she KNOWS is a No No....but will look me right in the eye....and jump...unless I intervene....which I did with a very low and menacing "Noooooooooooo"
-
I don't use umbrellas, I have a tendency to break them all quickly :tearlaugh: No, I use a hood. And I didn't see the car, it was one coming from behind.
I have around 15 minutes between home and job. With rain, the short cut (to win perhaps 1 minute) isn't practicable. Mud, mud and mud.
"Nooooooooooo" here can work (not each time) on the Twins, but absolutely not on Eleni. It's desperate mummies, soon on your screens :tearlaugh:
-
I have them trained. I very seldom give them treats....but if they listen when I say "NO"....they get a couple....which means I say NO a lot because they now understand the trend. :thud:
-
Training didn't work. They are strong minds.
And when the Twins arrived at home, they were so well educated. After some times, they decided to stop the appearance of well educated babies. They showed their real faces :thud: :tearlaugh: I knew Nenya liked to jump on stuff, he was on the tapestry that the woman was working on the day we took them :hypno: But at home, they respected things at least the first month.
Since, "no" on all tones, with or without treats if they obeyed, doesn't always work. Tonight for example, I said that at least once to each of them. Nope, they were suddenly deafs :shrug:
-
Good morning everyone...it's going to be another hot day here in QLD...
I just have to point my finger at my Sally...she stops looks and behaves...it always surprises me...though I only do that for serious things...never trivial things...she is a cat afterall lol
-
I have two that don't listen the first time.....but the second time I'm a little more vocal....and I point the dreaded "FINGER" at them....and they behave for at least 45 minutes....and if you guess it's Calie and Boo Bear....you got it right. More so with Boo Bear since he's the newby. But after a bit he'll realize that "No" and "Treats" have something in common....If I say no and it doesn't work....the getting a treat won't work either... and maybe then they'll start behaving.
And now I bid you farewell until the morning. And in case anyone is wondering....YES....I brought a couple boxes of my mint Girl Scout Cookies from the Girl Scouts sitting outside the Walmart door. And then I buy some from Shannon....and then I buy some from Crystal who just joined the girl scouts. And then I'm broke...and have to go on a diet before my next appointment with Olivia.... :thud:
-
Yummy...nothing better than Girl Scout cookies!
-
Yes they did...they had Angelina Jolie in the movie....in her almost outfits....that was enough to convince me that she was a computer wiz.... :java:
I liked her in Tombraider. I despise the entire industry for STEALING the term "Hackers". The original hackers existed before the personal computer ever did. We were the people that burned the midnight oil staying up and building our own stuff with breadboard, 30ga kynar + solder and wrapping driver. I built my own first computer! Display was just a row of 8 alpha numeric LED's. But it was fun, and educational. There are a few folks here that still do this. As in Pi Raspberry, as a example?
-
Cleve: the things Centaur related I uploaded to ShareCG was done with full blessings and permission from HEMI426, the creator of all those "kits" and bits for the Centaurs. They are all made with Gen4 figures and Millennium Horse/Foal, DAZ Charger. The only hiding of the join of the human/horse is the scaling and hiding of the horse neck joints and head, and human legs. There is no fancy waist garment to hide the ugly seam other Centaurs suffer. But those uploads all belong to HEMI426.
-
Yes, you put that into your descriptions. As for the Mil Foal, it is apparently no longer available at DAZ, and neither is The Mil Horse Bundle. Sad really, because I was hoping I could get it. I did see that there is an Aiko 3 and Mil Foal Centaur you uploaded, which the human part is Mil 3. At any rate, without the Mil Foal, that one would be useless to me. Oh well; as Mick Jagger famously sang; "You can't always get what you want!" So I might try making my own version, using Mil Horse and Aiko 3. I have a pretty good grasp on how to make a gradient greyscale type of transparency map. Which I could use for the Horse's neck and Aiko 3's lower body. Making the neck the right size to fit to Aiko 3 is just a matter of deforming the neck to match the size and shape of the A3 hip.

Mornin to you all pots on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir. Anyone heard from park?
-
I was wondering that myself Noshoba...not a good sign.
-
I just had a look and the last post he did was the 29th
-
Yeah and is a rather prolific poster. Wasn't sure if he got tired of us nagging him to get it looked into.
-
He was last saying that he was having migraines and needed to seek health care but his doctor had died during COVID. His comments left me thinking that he was having a hard time getting to a clinic.
I've been praying for him as that's all that I think of to do.

Now Now....the term HACKER has been around for a long time...and nothing to do with technology....
to make chopping strokes or blows "he's a hacker at the weeds"
To make cuts as if by chopping
"hacking away at the work force"
to play inexpert golf
to cough in a short dry manner

Same here Sir Knight. As mentioned...Canada's medical may be free to all...but that means its a first come first serve system...and hopefully your waiting for the right person or you start all over again. He's in my thoughts and prayers also....
-
Good Morning to all,
A Sunny start to the day and the critters are riled up this morning....the only calm ones this morning are Puss Puss and Bootsy. Boo Bear is chasing Cali around the place.... Henrietta is playing referee and chasing them both around to stop the chasing...
And I'm sitting here drinking my :java: watching it all.
-
Good afternoon!
We have woken up with snow. Pretty a difference with the rain from the end of afternoon yesterday, even if it was cold.
It was a horrible afternoon here at job. Not that people weren't kind, at the contrary. It was the computers which didn't accepted to work during a moment :thud: A specific little thing I needed to close my day. It's always on me that that kind of things falls :tearlaugh: :shrug:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
It's been a beautiful sunny Sunday here with Spring weather.
TL, you have a built-in (cat) show! Do you think it was the weather?
Aelin, was the snow better than the rain for the walk home? I know what it's like to the implicit computer person in a group. :huggy:
Good morning, sanbie. How's summer treating you?
-
Waves good afternoon..
-
Hi Sanbie..... Tis a beautiful sunny day here spoiled by the high winds that are determined to take more siding off the place :thud:
-
Hi Sanbie hope you have a great day been rainy day here but to be expected as it is bike week
-
I forgot to tell the snow started to melt the time I leave home. But I liked the forecast weather on radio: "it rained all night, now it will snow". Hum, guys I bet you are still on strike :tearlaugh:
-
I'm thinking our best weather forecast is looking out the window from now on....
-
Sir Knight.....I've never seen the outside critters so in awe of the weather....Mini leaf tornados attract their attention as does the birds trying to hang on the the tree limbs and I have all the inside critters in their window positions gawking and running away from the window when a the small branches come their way........

Yes, and it shows that we all care about each other! We are a close knit group of friends, which is why I love this forum.

Glad to see you park. Good luck with the tests.

Good morning!
It's a full sunny day here.
I see Coffee Shop found back one of its members, even if you can't take coffee.

I'm so glad you are going for tests, PDG. I pray it won't find anything really bad. If it does, I pray it can be taken care of with positive results.
Take care of you, my friend.
-
Good morning!
It's a windy and cloudly day. Cats sometimes crazy, some other times (like now) calm.
-
Morning.. joy of working out of town. Weak signal

Mornin to you all pots on auto the girls had the biscuits and bacon ready for you all and they will be cooking porkchops on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges for later on

Good morning everyone...going to be another hot and humid day here in QLD
-
Morning Sanbie. Was rather pleasant day here but the rain returns in the morning.
-
Good afternoon to all,
Had to take a computer break. The eyes were getting worn out. Plus....it was nice enough outside to do a few things that I wanted to do before Winter set in LOL...
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be prime rib with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a mixed day, but rain seems to have decided to don't show - or perhaps is waiting for me :tearlaugh: I'm going outside in a moment. So see you in your afternoon guys!
-
Morning.. yep rain and more rain here as well
-
Good Morning Fafnir.....I'll take a double coffee with a little coffee on the side for my coffee... :java: Ahhhhhh
We were suppose to get soaked the other day Noshoba, but ended up with very little rain.....but a LOT of wind took it's place...
It's a "No Plans" Day but I do think I'll be doing the taxes today. Procrastination is my nemesis at times....so I better get them done so Nem doesn't win.
Hope all have a awesome day....
Enjoy your Tolkien's universe day Aelin......
-
Well should only be day's worth. Fortunately got the 2 day job done in one. So not losing any work from it.
-
Slimy Sewers the Renderosity newsletter freebie
🌞Sunshine and 💲Savings: Spring 🌷 Fling Sale Is Here! is what it is called.
:3flower;
-
Good morning everyone...rain is expected today...so we shall see...
-
Thanks! It was a mix between Tolkien and UK 'universes'. At the end, the UK map with stuff like from Tolkien but not only. I added a poor leprechaun for Northern Ireland. Even with a model, he shows teh envy to run far from my pencil :tearlaugh: That's life, I'm not good to draw and it won't change, I'm fine with that now that I have 3D - and sometimes AI.
We weren't many alas. Next meeting is for next month, to end the work.
I think also I'm doing another meeting in few months, if it is really done. Linked to Tolkien universe very much than the map we are doing.
-
Good afternoon!
I think I saw a Leprechaun trying to run out of the museum this morning :tearlaugh:
We had frozen night, but Nature is really changing. Birds sang strongly in ways I never heard them doing before.
Next days, it's possible we have internet in and out. We'll have for 6 days the joy of military exercises on almost all our "département" (more or less similar to a county for USA). Militaries all around with their vehicles, weapons and fighter planes of course. Oh, and the weapons with munitions and firing them in the middle of the streets for at least 1 town. Yep, you read well. We are aware of such exercises only thanks to a newspaper, an article of yesterday, when the thing will start tomorrow.
I bet tourists will turn back when they'll know it.
-
Good morning everyone...well no rain yesterday...though they say it will come today and last for 4 days...again we will see...
-
Heyas Sanbie. Has been very quiet today in here. Must be hunting wabbits.
-
Yep too quiet Noshoba...
I wonder how pdgs tests went...or if he even has the results yet...
-
Hopefully very positive
-
Zooming by to wish you all a goodmorning.Any news on pdgs yet?
We're still busy renovating. Expecting more delivering of materials coming week. You know, just the essential stuff like a door and windows.
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the trimmings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Morning Fafnir.. a serious TGIF...
-
Good morning!
-
Good Morning to all,
Had a busy Clinic day yesterday and was worn out when I got back home and decided to go with a No Computer Day....which I did successfully. Well, except for the Grandson saying Good Night. Hope all had a great day.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....now to see what I missed....
-
Now here is a weather term I haven't heard about in a long while....anyone else ever hear of one:
Gustnado (https://www.wmtv15news.com/2024/03/05/gustnado-confirmed-southeast-wisconsin/)
-
Gustnado? Isn't that similar to a Dust Devil? I've seen little whirlwinds pick up fallen leaves in a field, moving them over a parking lot, and dropping them there! I suppose that could be called a Gustnado?
Good Afternoon, everybody! Hope everyone is doing good. Would like to learn how PDG is doing. Praying he is going to be OK.
There's some more Freebies available at DAZ 3D. Another thing they are now doing is stuff that is most obviously Star Trek! I'm currently doing research concerning that, to see if they have become an official site for Star Trek content, and/or part of Star Trek's 3D graphics production systems. There has to be an agreement of some type that now allows Star Trek content to be sold at DAZ 3D! In many ways, it is not surprising, as DAZ has stepped up their game with Genesis 8, 8.1, and 9, plus their rendering options are now many, due to the Bridges they have for many other 3D applications. The in app options for DAZ Studio are 3Delight and Iray, which are excellent render engines; however, there are bridges that allow their content to be ported to other apps, including the latest versions of the always free Blender, and we know that Poser can use much of the content DAZ 3D offers. Blender and Poser can use at least 2 of the same render engines. There are at least 5 other apps that can have DAZ content ported to them, aside from their very own Bryce application. And DAZ 3D has another app known as Carrara, which has versions of much of the content that is also used in DAZ Studio.
All that said, there must be a good reason for CBS and Paramount to allow Star Trek content to be sold at DAZ 3D.
-
There is a debate between people on Daz forums. To do it short, products are sold but with a thing similar to 'non commercial use' license.
They also in days before made Star Wars products. With same kind of licence.
So official thing? Until now, I didn't see an official of Daz answering that easy question.
For Daz biweeklies, we talked about earlier today. As well as the Rendo monthly freebie for those receiving their newsletters.
-
Oh it's not just StarTrek Agent. A few days before it was Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica stuff.
-
And no Rad....Gustnado and Dust Devils are not simllar.
GUSTNADO (https://www.mystateline.com/weather/gustnado-vs-tornado-whats-the-difference/)
-
Good morning everyone...well we finally got the predicted rain and it looks like it's here to stay for a while...
-
Morning Sanbie. Ours will be showing up in few hours. Looked and felt like it all day.
-
You want some of mine Sanbie....I'll be glad to share....Got a mini river forming on our street LOL....But all is good...it's slow and steady and since we got hardly any significant snow this Winter....the farmers need the rain and so do our yards...
-
It's nice Noshoba...freshens the air...
-

I love it when it does some good...but flooding is another matter...
-
Agreed.....I think the water is forming in the streets because of the drains not being cleared off since last fall.
-
Freshens the air and turns Charleston into a pond.
-
And no Rad....Gustnado and Dust Devils are not simllar.
GUSTNADO (https://www.mystateline.com/weather/gustnado-vs-tornado-whats-the-difference/)
Um, I think you are responding to my comment, rather than Rad's. LOL
That said, I will have a look at the article you linked us to.
-

I remember the floods in Charleston. It was especially bad when there was a neap tide during torrential rains.
-
Oh it's not just StarTrek Agent. A few days before it was Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica stuff.
I've seen some of the Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica content at DAZ also, but there is a difference. They don't go after fan made items the way the franchise owners of Star Trek do. There were several fan made productions running on YouTube for a while, A few were continuations of the original series, and the best of those was produced by Vince Mignogna (might have that last name mispelled). There were even certain guest stars who participated by reprising certain rolls they had in the original series. Then there was Project Axanar, that dealt with the Kittomer Disaster, and a 3D animated series called Star Trek Aurora. All of these were threatened with lawsuits if they did not cease and desist their production efforts. There are also many products made of Star Trek ships, but offered for free only as this somehow allows the fans to have something they can use for their own art, I have several of those models myself. That said, I rarely use them, because I like to write short stories to go with my images, and it would be too easy to step over the boundaries that CBS and Paramount impose. I do the same with models I have of Star Wars ships and so on. I don't have any of the Battlestar Galactica content, but I have a couple of Babylon 5 ships, The Orville, and Galaxy Quest. Of them all, I think The Orville would be the most likely not to go after folks doing fan productions of their franchise. Why? Because Seth MacFarlane is the kind of producer who embraces fans, and wants his work expounded upon.
It is really detrimental for any production company to be jealous of fan made art or productions set in their franchises. They get seen as tyrants who don't care about the fans of their works. It has been said that the best form of flattery is emulation. CBS and Paramount could take a lesson from that.
Now that there is a lot of content for DAZ Studio for Star Trek, if DAZ did not make an agreement with CBS and Paramount, we may soon be seeing a big stink raised about it by the owners of the franchise. I hope that does not happen, because it will affect many artists who use the applications offered at DAZ, or at least the content. I am one of those artists, and I have lots of their content already.
-
The artist named nothing after Trek, Star Wars, Galactica etc. There is a "passing familiarity" but no open associations. Did you think their resident Lawyer would let them make such a serious blunder? He never has, as far as I can remember, for 25 years.
Unfortunately, none of that stuff will work in Poser. I just spent near 4 hours browsing through all that stuff, hoping...but no dice.

I won't be able to use it myself, because it is for the Iray render engine, which my computer cannot handle.
It's true that nothing is named star Trek this or that, but I know it to be unmistakably Star Trek.
Example 1: The Ferengi morph and texture is an exact likeness of the character on Deep Space 9 known well as Quark.
Example 2: The Starfleet Emblem used on the uniforms and in many cases as the Com Badge, is an exact replica.
Example 3: The Starship U.S.S. Nova NCC 72381 uses one of the exact registry number conventions of most Federation Starships seen in star Trek: NCC.
I could go on to name other things that are exactly like what is in Star Trek, but I think these three will suffice. My point is that if no agreement was made with CBS/Paramount, they will most likely bring a lawsuit against DAZ, as these models and textures are being sold at the DAZ Store. I have seen them threaten fans with lawsuits before; like for instance, the fan production project called "Prelude to Axanar". Other fan productions noted this, and shut down all production for fear of the same happening to them. One was a 3D animated series called "Star Trek Aurora". only two episodes of that one were ever made and released, and the ship was designed and modeled by the producer of the series. Yes they used Star Trek as the base franchise they made their productions for, but isn't emulation the sincerest form of flattery?
-
Morning.. hmm they should still work even with 3dl. Never had issues flipping back and forth. Might have to tweak a few things. Well blantonly calling things Voyager and NG kind of gives it away lol. Grabbed it mostly for the ship. The other sets for SW and BSG I honestly grabbed for the flight suits lol. Star Wars has always been in 3rd place out of the 3 for me since the sequel and prequel movies bored the hell out of me.
-
Um, I think you are responding to my comment, rather than Rad's. LOL
That said, I will have a look at the article you linked us to.
It was a busy day yesterday so everyone got a new name yesterday LOLOL //// But yes...I was responding to you. It's a pretty cool article.
-
And Agent....McG is absolutely right. No lawsuits will be coming forth. Both Rendo and Daz haven't lasted this long because they make mistakes. They make sure all is good. True...there have been a few hiccups over time for both of them where Product had to be revised or removed....but normally it's on a small scale and not for something that is as well known. And yes....Modifications had to be made...
There....I'm done with this subject...and now....On with the show.
-
Mornin to you al;l coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be slo smoked brisket and link sausage with all the fixings and tater wedges

check out the gallery for pic of new baby Chloe more pics coming
-
Good Morning to all,
It's not bad out there. No Rain.....but chilly. Had my two outside babies back for breakfast. Orange Girl and Blacky IV haven't showed up yet....but I'm sure they will...haven't seen Stripes for a few days. No plans made for the day...but I never make the plans...they seemed to be predetermined by others....Now.....On with the show....with :java: in hand
-
check out the gallery for pic of new baby Chloe more pics coming
About time you got that picture taken LOLOLOL.....Going to check it out now......
-
Good morning!
I'm SW fan, from the 6 first movies and extended universe in books and I stop there. No Disney SW at all for me. Not a single piece.
I never grew with ST and I didn't look for Battlestart Galactica. I liked Stargate series, SG1 and Atlantis, but not the third one.
And now, to try to stay on my feet in our corridors. There is a lot of wind here today!
-
Good Morning Aelin,
I watched the first Starwars movie at the Drive In and that was it. (Yes, we still have a Drive In here) But I do like Stargate and have always been a Trekky and always liked Battlestar Galactica. With all the stations we get on TV's nowadays I find all of the older Sci Fi Movies and Shows I loved. And yes....I'm still a big Sci Fi Fan....
Don't get blown away....Enjoy your day...
-
It was a busy day yesterday so everyone got a new name yesterday LOLOL //// But yes...I was responding to you. It's a pretty cool article.
So if I was Rad yesterday, who was Agent? LOL

Aelin :java:

So I found back my gift to change of shapes? :tearlaugh:
-
So if I was Rad yesterday, who was Agent? LOL
I think it is probably well know that I am a sci fi fan, BIG TIME. Almost all of my favorites are space travel movies and series. Star Trek is definitely my favorite, but Star wars, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, Babylon 5, Lost in Space (even though it is campy), Buck Rogers (the newer one,not the older one), and a few others for the space travel ones I liked to watch.
For time travelling, my definite favorite ran for the most seasons of any sci fi series, having begun I think in the 1950s as a movie, but when it became a series, the premise changed, making the lead character from another world. The series began in the early 1960s, and was filmed in black and white. It continued running at least into the 1990s, when the last version of the character was introduced. There was an ingenious way the production company transitioned from one version of the character to the next, and my favorite version of him was portrayed by Tom Baker! The series was produced in Great Britain, and it was called Dr. Who. So many strange but very interesting concepts were introduced in that series, not the least of which was the mode of Time Travel being disguised as a blue Police Box, that was a lot larger on the inside than the outside hull appeared to hold. In fact, the Tardis was like a whole other world inside. Other series I watched about time travel were The Time Tunnel, 7 Days, Quantum Leap, and a short lived one called Sliders. To me Quantum leap was the second favorite of the time travel series.
Other Sci Fi series I liked were The X Files, Space 1999, The Invaders (both versions),The Outer Limits, Alien Nation, My Favorite Martian, The Twilight Zone, Project Blue Book, Robotech, Transformers, Voltron, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Sea Quest, The Lost World, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, Johnny Quest, Land of the Giants, Red Dwarf, Planet of the Apes, Salvage One, Sea Lab, Beyond Westworld, Airwolf, Knight Rider, FarScape, Earth Final Conflict, Eerie Indiana, Ray Bradbury Theatre, Robocop, Andromeda, Firefly, Eureka, Torchwood, Fringe, V, and The Orville.
Well I did say I am a BIG sci Fi fan! LOL
-
I'm a fan of 95% of the ones you put up there.....Got many CD collections of old Sci Fi shows....and now with all the programs we get on the newer TV's thanks to the internet....I can go back further to find some real oldies I use to watch with my Grandfather and 4 brothers. I watched the B & W Version of THE BLOB last night....The one with James Arness in it...before he became Marshall Matt Dillion on Gunsmoke.
-
So I found back my gift to change of shapes? :tearlaugh:
Yes indeed....Just don't do it to often or else you'll be stuck with the face of the last person you changed to....LOLOL
-
I use it rarely. I prefer my invisibility power :iminnocent:
-
TL, thanks for the memories. I watched original The Blob in a theater when it was first released. :hypno:
-
Same here....When I spent the weekend at my Granparents, Grandpa would take me to the movies while Grandma sat in the park across the street from the two Movie Theatres....The Strand and The Opera House. He loved Horror and SciFi Movies which is where I got my love for them.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Good Morning Sanbie.....Hope you have a Marrrrrrrvelous day.... So far, I've got nothing done on my to do list....so that's a awesome day for me :java:
-
It's Sunday here TL...so I don't plan on doing much today lol
-
I'm going to carry my "doing nothing" to Sunday if I can get away with it....
-
So if I was Rad yesterday, who was Agent? LOL
Shhhh! I tink she is still jabbing needles at the dust bunnies! ;o)
But it isn't Aelin! She got no snaketacles!
-
Morning... Alive we think we may be... Flops.
-
Examines Noshoba. "These conditions are compatible with life."
Good morning.
-
Morning.... Not when I wake up making Rice Krispies sound like they are on mute.
-
Good morning!
Currently having Harmonie and Eleni looking together at the window. No fight, that's good. Last night, just before to go to sleep, they had together a wild one :thud:
Step by step, without we notice it, finally Nenya imposed himself like the leader. He tries his best to stay calm when Eleni fight with him (for a place at the window or under the sun, despite the fact they have enough for two), but when he receives back legs in the nose, that's too much.
Otherwise, the Twins are going back in childhood, they are playing again with toys like they did when they arrived at home. Except they are far bigger and stronger and we have to catch a wall before to crush our heads inside when they run :tearlaugh:
EDIT: Ah, I see the forum believes we are almost at 3PM in France. Yet we are only at almost 2PM. The change of hour will be the last weekend of the month :thud:

Good Morning to all.....
My clan paid no attention to Daylight saving time.....They wanted to eat at the time they are use to....and I knew this would happen....it always does LOLOLOL. Oh well, I'll just aggravate them longer at night so they sleep longer....
Had some snow this morning but it didn't stick...and now the sun is out...but it's a chilly 29 degrees....and then in the same breath the weather forecaster says we'll be breaking a record high tomorrow. :thud:
-
Shhhh! I tink she is still jabbing needles at the dust bunnies! ;o)
But it isn't Aelin! She got no snaketacles!
So that was that stingin' sensation I digitally felt! Gotta stop hidin' amongst them dust bunnies!

Anyone watch the Oscars last night??? I didn't but have been watching the highlights. Some are comical as hell. I'm thinking that it's not always about the Awards but how entertaining folks can be. I think the best place to view them is always IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/) This site is one of my favorites...
Other then that....who knows what the day will bring....so ON WITH THE SHOW.....with :java: in hand....Ahhhhh
-
Good afternoon!

See you all tomorrow in my evening!
-
Good morning everyone...has anyone heard from pdg yet...I am very worried about him...

-
Good Morning, all ye denizens of The Attic! :havesum:

Good Morning indeed. All done with my morning feeding fest, and Grandson chat, so all is good. The Grandson and I have a Morning Messenger ritual before he heads to work.
Looks to be a gorgeous day out there....High of 70....in March....which boggles the mind....Poor critters are all confused....as are many humans LOL....
Got some chores to do either this morning or this afternoon...depends on my energy level....and yes....Wal-Mart comes into play as does Farm & Fleet.

It's a very sunny day, despite the forecast weather which told us it would be a foggy day to start. No fog this morning. But the day before, we had fog they didn't notice :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning Aelin, Pommerlis, Sanbie and whoever else is around
A beautiful morning out there....No plans for the day.....but who knows....Something always comes up...
Going to do some computer clean up today....well, not so much computer....but files....Yup....continuing where I left off. I get started with these projects and go full steam for a wee bit...and then get bored with it....and convince myself to finish it later....and we all know how often later comes around....not to often at all.
I'm beginning to think that new Puppy is wearing Fafnir out LOLOL...
Hope all enjoy the day, night, morning, afternoon, and whatever is left....
-

Goodmorning everyone. Have a pot of coffee ready and weather is looking good for today. Nice steady sunny day wich is a nice change from the usual 4 seasons in 24 hours that we have.Tomorrow is gonna be an exciting day for us. They will deliver the cladding for our caravan/chalet. It is really starting to look like a nice little house now. The only two really big things left is the heater/stove and the roof cladding.
When it's all finished I will post a before and after picture, that is, if you guys would like that.

Would love to see it Pommerlis.
So the threatened rain never happened, the grey clouds cleared off and it got stinking hot instead lol

It's another sunny day and not so bad temps. Yet, in town I believed I would lose my ears by frozen :thud: I didn't feel cold on my head, just the ears. Go figure :shrug: :tearlaugh:

Good Morning.....
Had one hell of a storm this morning and I learned from past experience....nothing worse then a computer shutting down in the middle of something which means it did not shut down properly...THAT is NOT A GOOD THING....
So I had nothing pressing to worry about on the net and waited for the storm to slide on by....this is phase one of a long rainy and sometimes, stormy day.
Other then that....another day in the neighborhood....and now I'll take my tour with :java: in hand.
Good Morning to you Aelin, Sanbie, Fafnir, McG, Dreamer, Pommerlis and Guests.

Enjoy the day.....

Keeping you up to date: PDG Wrote:
Hey now;
Yep; I'm alive. Not in very good shape but alive none the less. I spent 5 days in hospital and had two surgeries. Currently at home and bed ridden for the near future.I have a nurse check me daily. Ed's sister. Tell everyone I'm fine and will be back when I feel a little more able to hold it together. If I sit up, I fall down. I've vision issues in one eye and my hearing is off. No balance. I get the bed spins like a bad drunk just sitting up in bed. Makes it hard to do stuff Like this.
In my best Arnie; "I'll be back."

Good Morning to all,
It's Saturday and it's a windy one. Damn near had my PJ's blown off me when I went to feed the kitties....they were hanging on the the railing hoping their food doesn't get blown away....
Have no plans on going anywhere today.... Did that yesterday....so let the wind blow.
Dark out there....Not use to that yet....but I guess it will grow on me....like it does every year
And you're welcome Sanbie. I had to think about it for a bit....and it's always a two way street. But in the end I looked back at my many hospital stays. Most of the time you want to communicate...but can't due to your situation...being wired up, tubes in and out, no mobility, etc. So I gave him time...then sent the message.
And now to see who is where and what is why and when is then with :java: in hand. Ahhhhhh

Good morning!
Strange weather today. Clouds and then long periods of sun. It makes for a lot of wind, so the wind chimes are sounding great this morning.
And there's an epic battle this morning between the house sparrows and bluebirds for who gets the nesting box.

Morning..Happy St Patrick's Day...

Hi all!
I wish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day! Take the time to enjoy the parades if there are any near you. Moderate your beer consumption...lol... In any case, have fun!

Good Morning to all..... May Erin go Braless...... :toast: :stpatcheers: Wooohooo....
Snow this morning....27 degrees....WINDY.....other then that....a normal Wisconsin Morning.... On a good note....the wind was blowing in such a direction as to not bother the kitties feeding bowls. They got their normal dry/wet food combination with some Green Healthy Treats this morning.
No plans for the day. Travis and Mindy (The Grands) are getting ready to become Irish today....Green clothing, green derby's and Green Beer.... I remember those days...somewhat..... Nowadays I celebrate getting up by dancing with the kitties....and then I'm worn out for the rest of the day.... :java:

Happy "Get Pinched For Not Wearing Green" Day!
Awe, did you get pinched! Well dry up and have a :havesum:!
I used to get out on the town, or in the clubs among several green wearing beauties, not having any green on. I'd say "Hmmm! I can't pinch any of you!"
"Really? Why?"
"Because you're all wearing green!"
The ladies would get to the point of inspecting me to see if I was wearing any green! "No, I'm not wearing any green!"
And that's when the fun began, as the girls wanted to be in on the pinching! Some of them could hurt me pretty bad with their sharp fingernails, but the fun of it outweighed the pain of such pinches.
The most fun for me was seeing the jealous looks of all the other men in the club. My corner of the room was usually the most lively, and every lady that was hanging with me was an awesomely beautiful girl!
I still look at myself in the mirror and wonder what it is that these young beauties see in me! I don't think I'm all that good looking, but I sure do attract the pretty ones! Could be that I don't put on airs, or the fact that I believe in having fun, or maybe it's because I treat the ladies with great respect. I just don't get how I am all that good looking, even though many of them tell me that I am! It's just that my reflection does not look all that good to me. Let's face it, I'm no Cary Grant, or Gary Cooper! Still, I seem to attract young beauties, even to this day, and I am now 67 years old! I often say "It's a cultivated Ugly!", when other guys ask why I'm so ugly. I then follow up with "What's your excuse?" LOL!!!!!
-
Nowadays I get pinched a lot....they're checking to make sure I'm still alive.... :java: ahhhhh
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie!
I completely forgot this Sunday was St-Patrick's Day. Even with our leprechauns above the text box :tearlaugh:
See you all tomorrow in my evening!
-
Hi Sanbie....we saved some for you :toast: :stpatcheers: But, I prefer :java: Ahhhhhh.....
-
Aelin, thank you! I had the four images from last years St. Patrick's that I wanted to post before I started on this year's pictures and it had slipped my mind that I actually had to put them in the gallery. :tearlaugh:
With you on that, TL. Two more hours of work today. Need :java:.
-
It's Monday here...the 18th though :stpatcheers:
-
Same here. Yep; I'm back. Another hole in the head and a lot uglier with it, but it could have been worse. A lot worse. I spent a few days in hospital and had a couple of surgeries; but I'm back home now. Thanks TL for keeping an eye on me. Nice to know somebody cares. OK; I'm out of here for now.
-
Good to hear from you park directly and you're doing ok. Take your time. None of us are going anywhere.
-
So glad everything went well for you pdg...now it's time to rest and heal...

Isn't that something about Hospitals and Age. Every time you go in you either come out missing something or gaining something, both of which keeps you going.
Believe me...everyone in here cared and asked about you frequently. I reached out to you for ALL who were concerned. Glad you are home now and can communicate with us once again.....Just don't overdo it. As we get older it takes us longer to heal...and rest is the key to healing quickly.
-
So good to hear from you PDG and glad you are doing ok
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto last night the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried fish with all the fixings, hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
So happy you're doing well, PDG. You take care of You, and we'll handle things here! Just get back to us whenever you can, and let us know how you're doing.
Yes it is nice to know there are people that really care about us.
-
Yo PARK! Great news you bring us yourself. Glad you are mending ok.
McG.
-
Agent you're so right man. Hey I got these 4 kids, the baby is late 30's and eldest is crowding 50... it's like they all put me on the back burner, then turned the burner off! They just KNOW I am around and FINE and they carry on with their stuff. And I never hear from any of em now. Yes, it IS great knowing there are folks all over our planet that really care about us. We care for each other here!
-
Good afternoon!
Glad to see you around PDG! Take care, and avoid Kianna's dungeons!
Day started with clouds and ended with a good sun. Yound high schoolers became crazy. When I left job, 3 of them ran from behind me.One of them decided to jump above a little fence to end on the grass... and he ended in the grass :tearlaugh: His friends laughed from him to.
Few days ago, I hit one of my feet into a furniture at home. 2 toes involved. Today, I felt like a burning area inside the foot. I have maybe break or almost something. Strangely, that doesn't prevent me to walk with the same speed as usual. I know well the road, maybe it's the reason, like I know where and how to put my feet. I have changed the 'angle' slightly on the concerned foot to use less the area with the issue.
-
LOL...Kids will be kids....and yup...they bounce right up and do it again.
Both of my feet with crooked toes thanks to curbs, furniture, steps, etc....and if I can't snap them back into place...they can remain crooked. My feet aren't that sexy to begin with :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Good morning everyone...

It took almost 3 years to get cosmetic surgery to hide the ear to ear scar across the back of my head from the last time they did something like this. Lovely little Newfi girl from my back home. She went to Memorial with my nephew. Free plastic surgery isn't top of the socialized medicine list so it's going to look like someone shot me in the temple for the foreseeable future. Especially if they have to go in again.
-
Again; thanks for the well wishes folks. I didn't mean it to sound like Eeyore. "Nobody loves me. Nobody cares." We do have the same birthday however (stupid fact). I realize TL was checking for the group and responded to him as such in our correspondence.
Now. Good morning everyone. A cuppa tea if you please Fafnir. An orange pekoe if you have it.
-
Hands PDG a steamin mug of orange pekoe tea welcome back my friend
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later there will be slo cooked beef ribs with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
It's ok park. At our ages I think they care about our looks lol. Well could play Santa at a goth Halloween Christmas party.
-
Good morning!
Maybe you'll afraid some of your "kind" neighbors in that way, PDG. As longer as they leave you alone, that's good to take.
-

I never married, and don't know if I ever fathered a child. I was with so many one night stands, whom I never saw again. Most of those dates were initiated by the lady, and I being quite lonely, I was more than willing. If I ever fathered a child, I would love to at least meet the child before I pass from this world.
The one time I tried to adopt a child, I had found a boy and was building a good relationship with him. Then the adoption agency told me I would not be allowed to adopt him! They let him and I more or less become like a loving father and son pair, and then break both of our hearts! It was one of the worst kinds of anguish I ever felt. And can you guess what happened to the boy? He was sent to yet another foster home, run by a woman who was clearly not caring so much for the children in her care! She was doing it all for the money she was making through the Family & Children Services! How is it that such a home gets precedence over someone who can do far better for a child?
-
Its called the luck of the draw, my friend. That's just the way the world is. But, not to worry. Madam Karma has a way of getting back at them. And, Lady Karma is VERY patient. In for the day - I hope - but got things to do. Won't say what, but it is involved.
Still hanging in there. But just can't get into my usual courses. I try, but it seems there are other things that are taking up the time for my own projects. Attempting to get daughter's taxes taken care of, helping to get her paperwork for her apartment back on track etc ... etc. I'd scream, but the echoes would only make my head hurt more.
Oh well. Time to feed my little ones. Princess has just reminded me that its her dinner time.
-
So glad to see you up and about pdg...like everyone else I was worried sick about you...as my mum used to say..."You can't kill weeds...we just grow back stronger."
Good morning everyone...
-
Thanks sanbie. Never heard that one.
-
Good morning!
It's a huge sunny day here, with a mid-warm wind.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Hummm....I never heard that one either Sanbie....I like it....I like it....
Good Afternoon to all....a blowy, breezy chilly day today. A watermain broke behind our place yesterday afternoon and we still don't have any water....so I had to make a Early Early run to Wally World to get bottled water and some other items that were needed.
Then had to try and calm all of the critters down due to all the noise from the machinery being used behind our place due to the damaged watermain.
Other then that....it's 34 degree out....warmed up a little from this mornings 26 degrees. And then snow tomorrow they say...we shall see.
One of my dearest friends is nicknamed "Newfie Girl" PDG. I think I mentioned that before...but of late...I remember getting out of bed and that's it. I've know Doreen for many many years and met her and her family in one of my many visits to the area when I was working for Industrial Combustion.
As for scars....got many....I call them "Battle for life scars" that worked.
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir... And we got some sunshine here also Aelin..for a wee bit.
-
Yeah my mum had lots of neat sayings...one I use a LOT is when someone farts...Mum used to say "Better an empty house than a bad tenant."
Good morning everyone...
-
I kinda smile at the barking spiders one, still. :) Morning Sanbie!
-
Mornin' folks. A cuppa if you will Fafnir. Got my glasses on for a bit this morning. Sure makes seeing easier. In a moment of brilliance I removed the arm like a kid with broken frames held together with tape. Sometimes the old brain fires on more than two cylinders.
-
Goodmorning everybody, just checking in.Weather is méh down here, doesn't quite make up it's mind wether to rain or shine. Meatballs for tonight, with some saté sauce. Mjummm.
-
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 homemade lasagna with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
Good morning, PDG (!), Pommerlis and Fafnir. Best of days to you!
-
Good morning, Y'all! Fafnir, I had to grab a double cup of your dark roast :java:!
Got some places to go, and things to do, so will be out and about for a bit today.
Business! Always Business!
-
Good Morning to all,
Got the water back and running here....but got so much bottled water that we are going to use that up first and give the water system time to get cleaned out a wee bit more.
Late getting in here due to staying up way to late. Ever have one of those nights where your mind tells you you're not tired but you know you are because your body is telling you just the opposite???....In this case...the mind won and 2AM rolled around in not time.
Morning PDG...Glasses are a good thing for seeing....Yes....I'm being a smartass :tearlaugh: Good to have you back my friend....and hope your day will be a super duper one...
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....How's the pup doing?
Have a great day Sir Knight.....It's close to the weekend...but then again....Your schedule has been keeping you very busy of late...
And a big hello to you Pommerlis....Meatballs sounds great.
Let's go McG....Time to get up.....
And on that note....time to take a tour with :java: in hand.....Ahhhhh
-
Good afternoon!
It was another sunny day. With plenty visitors at job, and a quatuor thanks to whom I think I drunk enough for the next century :thud:
Well, at least with the weather today, I decided to take again my good old baskets. I walk faster with them than the 'winter' shoes, so I'm happy to be a little faster back home.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Glad the day went well Aelin and that you're enjoying what you are doing....woooohooo
I've been in and out of here a lot today. Had to do some things here that I keep promising myself I would do....like move my heavy heavy couch forward so I can get all the lost toys from under it and behind it...and vacuum the cat hair...which I had to do twice because the container got full...but all is good now...Living room is clean except for the cat toys, cat treats, and whatever else they dragged in there....LOL
-
Good Morning Sanbie..... :havesum: Yes....a chocolate or two makes for a FINE breakfast...
-
Goodmorning everyone! Hope you're all doing fine, weekend is just around the corner!Time for a fresh pot.
:java:
-
Good morning folks. Cold and snowy. Thought it was spring. Got crap from my nurse (Ed's sister) for being up and about with nobody around. Afraid I'll take a tumble due to the bad balance and blurry vision. Nah. I've been known to knock back a few rye every now and then. Bad balance is my friend. <g> Have a good end to the week everybody. Hope your day goes well.
-
be careful tho PDG
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Hi Pommerlis
-
Morning.. Yeah park be careful of that. Sitting at home work cancelled due to supposed rain. Weather app made me chuckle .. serious case of CYA. 90% chance and list as " rain likely" ... With that huge band heading our way .. I would say definitely. It is slowing down though.
-
yea we getting some rain this morning so it is headed to you as well
-
Honest rather be working lol. Going stir crazy with the down time days of late.
-
Good Morning to all....
First lesson I learned in the process of recovering from any medical procedure....listen to those that take care of you....because if you don't...you might need them...and they won't be there. Listen to your Nurse PDG...she cares.
There....My lecture of the day has been taken care of....and I did it without a :java: in hand....
:java: Ahhhhh.....That's better.
Cold and Snowy here also PDG....The roads are slick slick slick according to my Grandson who just got to work... His job is only 4 miles away from where he lives...he left for work at 7:10AM....Just got there at 7:29....He called it a "Idiot Drivers Morning" He had to slow down for 4 accidents being cleared up.
A lot of school closings also today.
Anyway....I have to plans to go anywhere and I'm not shoveling anything today since this is a all day event...and tomorrow it will be in the 40's.
Good Morning Noshoba....Enjoy the day....You know that you'll be back at work soon and saying to yourself..."Damn...I wish I had the day off" LOL.....
And Good Morning to you Pommerlis....When you're retired....the whole week is a weekend.
Now I'm done with lecturing, greeting, and highlighting life events....so on with the show....woooohoooo
-
And THANKS for the Coffee Fafnir....How much longer did you have to wait after we got done yapping on the phone? And how long was the puppy's nap...
-
Chuckles. TL honestly.. I generally come across as very laid back but the reality is I am a type A workaholic like my mom. Went a year and a half without a day off when I was running gas stations. Only reason I had the time off then was I had emergency surgery and wasn't released from the hospital til the following afternoon.
-
I can see that in your posts about work.....but ya know I had to give you shit about the day off thing LOLOL.....
-
Well going to binge a few anime episodes and then work on a render. Kind of annoyed I am having to use G8 vs G9 because 8 tends to look closer to the right age vs 9. Have to thank all the damn pedo-bears out there posting slime ball art . So trying to do HS /MS characters looks like adult cosplayers with 9.
-
Ok thought the cat lovers in here would love the tip.
-
I think our cats and kitty's have better taste then that :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
1 pm pup had to go walk do her thing and she napped till 1
-
:toast:
-
Who took who for a walk Fafnir???? LOLOL
And Cheers to you also Rad.....Another day in the neighborhood.
I'm watching the maintenance crew for the place trying to figure out how to put a snow plow on their truck LOLOL.
Ummmmm....Fellas.....by the time you get the plow on...the snow will be melted. The sun is trying to peek through....but it IS still snowing...a wee bit. And in another 1/2 hour the temp will be above freezing....
They put a new maintenance shed at the end of our street...I'm the second to last place on this end so I see all....Should be a interesting summer of them trying to figure out how to operate the riding mower....
-
Good afternoon!
It was a true Spring day here, even if few people started to say "it's horrible, like Summer". If not even 25°C are horrible for them, wait the real Summer :tearlaugh:
We had happy visitors, and the last one was a very happy one. Old student of the structure which was there before us.
I bet your cats where in paradise when you found back their toys. Sometimes when a toy is back, it's like a good old friend suddenly remembered for them.
-
good morning everyone...
-
Chloe walks very well on a leash and is not afraid of being outside
-
Good Morning to you Sanbie and Good Evening to you Aelin.....
Just got back in after to taking Lorna out to do a chore....and now I'm in for the night.
We still have snow on the ground....The outside kittens were having a ball chasing the snowballs I made. Now they are fed and in their little houses for the night...
Doing one more round in here and then calling it a night....No more puter....until tomorrow morning
-
Glad Chole enjoys the walks Fafnir....as mentioned...that's a good thing for the both of you.....
I'm hoping to have the beer drinking buddies in here gone by the end of the weekend...St. Patrick's Day is done and over with....
See you all in the morning....have a great night, day, morning and whatever comes in between....
-

Started snowing yesterday before I awoke. It's still snowing. There is more snow on the ground right now than we've had at any point all winter. Thought it was Spring?

A quick hello and a cuppa before I bugger of to the renovation site. Today we are assigned removing dirt from the patch that is to become part of our "deluxe terras" and guess what. It wouldn't be right without some nice bursts of rain. Of course it is,.....we're doing garden work today so yessss,......*sigh*
Can I say bugger of on this site. Don't know anymore these days. I think I said it twice now.... :rainy:

When you are sitting out there under a patio umbrella, sucking back your morning tea watching the rain fall; you will think it all worth the aggravation.

Morning park and Sanbie..lol. Well we got snow in June a few years back and 91 F on Christmas.. so really just ignore weather. Only real concern is they are saying we might get a hyper active hurricane season. Charleston has been dodging the bullet the last couple of years and long overdue to take a hit. Not counting the annual no crossing the ocean but a TS forming right on top of us once or twice a year.
-
It's fun riding around in a truck bed with the nephews and sister on Christmas Eve and it starts blizzarding. In Houston, Tx! Had to pull over to a store parking lot, could not see very far at all. Hour later, snowing heavier, Bro in Law crept home about 5 mph. Me and the boys were howling carols and laughing like crazy. Then we started doing the Dog Carol, and the 3 dogs in the cab joined right in there. The whole crew was laughing. Having fun by accident! :D
-
LOL....Believe me Pommerlis...."Bugger" is a tame word compared to some of the words that we use in here.
Good Morning to you PDG....No snow here today...still got plenty on the ground though. But it got warm enough to clear the snow off the vehicle, driveway, sidewalks and steps....so NO SHOVELING for me yesterday....
And Noshoba....my brother said the same thing.... Hurricane Bob, in 1991, was the last hurricane to make landfall in Rhode Island, a state that historically averages a hurricane every 20 years. But they say that is about to change...
Now to get started with :java: in hand....
-
And Good Morning McG....You're up early this morning....Have a great day....
-
Mornin to you all pots are set to auto 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
-
Morning Fafnir. The joys of a dreary looking morning lol.
-
I already finished off two pots of coffee Fafnir....may need a few more to wake me up.... :java: Ahhhh
-
theres plenty coffee ready Luffie
-
Hi Nosh dreary mornins aint no fun hope the day gets better
-
LOL.....I'm one of those "ALL DAY" coffee drinkers. On my desk I have a Propel (https://www.propelwater.com/), a Clear American Sparkling Water, and a HUGE Mug of :java:.... The coffee is always finished off first which is why the pot is always full....
-
The day is fine. Same I bleed caffeine.
-
Good afternoon!
It was another sunny day. We had clouds a part of our afternoon, but we always could see the sun behind, until it was back.
-
Waves. Debating with dread reorganizing Daz files. My personal projects have gotten a "little" out of whack.
-
Do you use a separate runtime for your projects?
-
Hmm the problem is a massive overload of WIPs. Working off 1 My Library but separate subfolder to hold personal projects. That's were it gets fun. Way too many subfolders that end up duplicating. Aggravated by just moving the files ends up deleting the headers. So have to load to find out what it used to be. Scene Hmat etc etc
-
Problem (oops! not supposed to talk like this in this thread!) (please drop by McG's Place to see it...
-
McG that is not the issue. I have a simple layout that works very well. The problem is volume. Remember I have a 16tb external hd that is practically nothing but Daz files.
-
Ah. See nother post there.
-
Good Sunday Morning everyone...
-
Good Morning to you.....Coffee is ready and I hope you have a MARVELOUS day....wooohooo :java: Ahhhhh
-
Morning sanbie
-
Morning TL and Noshoba
-
AH! Good Morning to you Sanbie! It was near 7 pm here when you posted that, what time was it your place?
-
I can say that I will be going back to bed soon...I only had a couple of hours sleep...electricity kept shooting out of my body...and if I put my feet on the floor...the thrum of electrical energy was horrific...
-
AH! Good Morning to you Sanbie! It was near 7 pm here when you posted that, what time was it your place?
Nearly 10am here

Oh I know. The terras was just not something in the planning right now.
It's just that the reno keeps expanding it seems. When we got started we asked my BIL if he could help renovating our caravan and it's porch. Now, about two months later there is somewhat of a chalet rising out of the ashes wich is cool after watching one thing after another being demolished.
So when we went in the new and improved chalet to be, where we found the kitchen being gone wich was a bit of a surprise I must say since that was also not on the planning just now.
I love my BIL to death but we should have never told him our total budget. :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
It wil be awesome though, From an old seventies-caravan with porch to a modern day chalet with HR++ double glazed tilt&turn windows and outdoor wall cladding that no longer needs to be painted, just washed. Extensively isolated and a brand new roof.
Now we just need a new stove, furniture and o yesss,...a kitchen :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning Pommerlis, and anyone just getting up...or who have been up and are not up at the moment...
And yes Pommerlis....a kitchen would be a good thing LOLOL....
Another day of morning and afternoon is soon to follow.... I love sharing my words of wisdom :java:
Snow today....but not enough to worry about....just enough to piss the birds, cats, and squirrels off.
No plans for today...but we all know how that works...
And now to take a stroll with :java: in hand and then over to FB to put the winners up.
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be BBQ smoked pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning... Need a break from eye strain lol.

Greetings Y'all! I am excited (at least as much as a 67 year old man can be excited). Here's what's happening:
Since moving to Macon, my brother and I have been noting the construction of a new Ampitheatre, not far from where I live. It is opening tonight, and I'm going to be there! Two of my favorite bands from the 1970s will be there performing:
Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top: The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour!
It's just me and my brother in law going to the concert. We'd like more with us, but not all goes as planned. Still, I like that it's the first ever concert at that new ampitheatre, and I get to attend.
I really like that it's 2 of my favorite bands from my young adult days I will be there to see!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
I've been busy in FB and now I have eyestrain LOLOL....and brain strain to boot. Some of the stuff folks post is mindboggling...and not in a good way LOLOLOL....Thankfully I only go in there once a week :thud:
-
Agent have fun. TL won't be sympathetic. Been busy beating evangelicals over the head most of the day between file clean up.
-
I like both also....been to one ZZ Top concert in Milwaukee 5 years ago....during Summerfest....
This is the lineup for this years Summerfest ~ 2024 Lineup Summerfest ~ The Worlds Largest Music Festival (https://www.summerfest.com/lineup/)

Good afternoon!
Had a cat on one arm in ask for a long moment with me. Nenya was upset I work today again, so I accorded him his big moment.
The bad weather which was foreseen for the weekend by the forecast weather never happened. We lost few degrees for sure, but it was almost nothing when the wind wasn't around - and we felt it few times only. No rain, nothing.
I bet they always are in strike and the program they don't like 'works' alone :tearlaugh:
-
Good afternoon everybody! Thanks Sanbie, congrats Agent, I feel for ya Noshoba, YES Pommerlis, ALL must eat, HALLELUJAH TL! And finally Hello and Thanks for the morning coffee and victuals Fafnir! I apologize to all whom I forgot to mention !!!
-
Good morning everyone...

Morning sanbie..

As they say Aelin....the best weather person is not a person.....it's your window....it never lies about the weather :tearlaugh:

A. A. A. D. D.
(Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder) :3flower;
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my lawn.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over
at my car and decide my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there
is mail on the porch table that I brought up from
the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail
in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the
can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take
out the garbage first.
But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay
the bills first.
I take my check book off the table, and see that there
is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go
inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke
that I had been drinking.
I’m going to look for my checks, but first I need to push
the Coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.
I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should
put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke a vase of
flowers on the counter catches my eye – they need to be
watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my
reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first
I’m going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will
be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s
on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the
living room where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills
on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some
towels and wipe up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was
planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the lawn isn’t watered,
the car isn’t washed,
the bills aren’t paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
the flowers don’t have enough water,
there is still only one check in my check book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
I don’t remember what I did with the car keys,
and my neighbor called to tell me he turned off the hose
that was flooding the driveway.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all day long,
and I’m really tired. I realize this is a serious problem,
and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll check my e-mail.
-
Morning Sanbie.....I'm winding down now so my stay will be short in here. ..... . And damn you Rad.....You jinxed me....As I was typing my Good Morning to Sanbie I had to correct "so my stay will be short in her" Good thing I read over everything I type nowadays....
-
:tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: Now that was funny TL...
Good morning Noshoba
-
Good morning everyone. It's 5:55:55 as I glance at the clock. Guess 5 is my lucky number today. Not that I have any use for one.
Radkres I know AAADD quite well and I don't even have a lawn to water.
-
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 gator gumbo and Cajun rice with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Morning folks! Thanks Fafnir, I'm IN!
-
Good morning!
This morning, I checked outside if the news at the radio told the truth, that we had a hard frozen night. Frozen yes, but a tiny one like not even the cars had a hard cover from it. Only further in the countryside you could see the frozen in fact, and it melted quickly.
Sun is shining a lot, despite the threatenings of the forecast weather :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all.....Been in here for while and got done what needed doneing....so now I'll need a pot of :java: to keep me going....I'll return the pot when done Fafnir....
We've got 5 different weather forecasts today. Three from our local forecasts on different TV Channels, one from our local radio station, and one from my morning weather forecast on the internet....Not a one matches the others. So I'll look out the window and let them know what's what :tearlaugh:
But wow....Looks like a lot heavy weather almost everywhere. Mother Nature is reminding us whose boss.
And to top it off....I've got the furry tribe raising hell this morning. They have calmed down somewhat but Puss Puss is still a PITA....
-
legs gave me a fit last night runnin on bout 2 hrs sleep
-
Yikes....Sorry to hear that my friend.....Take a long nap today...if the little fur ball lets you....
-
plan on it and she will behave
-
I figured she would behave....
-
sleeping under the bed now
-
I had to go Wally Worlding since today sounded like a better weather day then tomorrow....but I'll still go out tomorrow....I'm in the mood for some good chinese with some of their fantastic Egg Rolls. I'd walk through a blizzard to get that LOLOL....But thankfully I'll just be driving through rain.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Yeah there's nothing like good Chinese. Pity the good hole in the places here are mostly gone.
-
Morning sanbie.
-
Good Morning Sanbie.....Wasn't ignoring you...was cleaning up book marks.....I've got some that are dated back to the Roman times and use Roman Numerals for Passwords. Well, Maybe not that old....but they might as well be 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 bacon wrapped scallops with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Good morning, Fafnir. Hope your legs are better today.
-
Thanks for the :java: Early Bird.....How's the leg doing today? Hope it's better....
It's another rainy morning....and another warning went to the outside critters to EAT FAST or they'll end up with cat food mush....
No plans for the day except to get Chinese Food this afternoon. Might have to make another run to Wally World....I checked this morning and I'm low on Soy Sauce and Sweet and Sour Sauce....
So in saying that...enjoy your day....
-
LOL....Good Morning Sir Knight....You snuck in while I was typing another chapter to the book I post each morning LOLOL...Hope your day will be a awesome one.
-
Good morning!
It's a rainy day here too. Eleni is quietly in his corner, while the Twins are sleeping together, paws in paws.
-
Howdy Aelin.....I've got Cali and Boo Bear chasing each other up and down the hallway....the rest of the crew are sleeping after eating their breakfast.... The rain is really coming down now.
-
legs are some better but not 100% yet
-
Glad to hear they're better. Sorry to hear not all the way there yet.
TL, I'm a Ninja Knight (on Tuesdays, anyway.) Got a break in the storm of work and thought I'd say "Hello."
Aelin, that's so sweet!
-
Just take it easy Fafnir.....Don't push yourself....Grab the puppy, set him your lap, and RELAX....
Aha....That explains it Sir Knight.....enjoy the break...
All the critters are finally sleeping here Aelin...each in their favorite spot...which is where they were last playing.
-
Good NOON every body! :havesum: :3flower; :hug:
-
By gosh it IS noon and then some....Good Afternoon to you McG....Been busy so I haven't even paid attention to the time....which is not a bad thing....
-
Since they came at home, the Twins are sleeping once a day that way. They really can't live without the other it seems, even if Eleni helped them to 'cut' a little the link, avoiding they move always together from a room to the other.
At the contrary of when he was younger, Eleni doesn't dare to come with them when they are paws in paws. He looks them, they look at him like to invit him, in vain for now. But he likes to lay near Nenya at the window in the morning even for few time. And if he has the possibility, later in the day on my bed with Harmonie. Almost no fight since Eleni turned officially 1 year, last week.
-
That is terrific Aelin! Good boy Eleni!
-
Our critters are amazing for sure. I'm glad they all seem to click Aelin. Cali and Boo Bear are the twosome around here. They are from the same clan as the outside kittens. Bootsie has been more active since Oz's passing....Not sure why but happy to see it. For a while there I thought her brains were scrambled.
-
Good afternoon everyone
-
Hiya, sanbie, if you're still here. I guess everyone else is playing with their animals or at work. I hope you had a good day!
-
Mornin to you all coffee cocoa and tea are ready the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later there will be BBQ beef sandwiches with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning Sir Knight and Fafnir....and all others not visible yet...
It's a FRIGID day today....21 degrees and windy.....wind chills in the single digits. I damn near got blown away while trying to get the outside clan fed...I told them to EAT FAST before the wet food freezes up. Never no worries on that one....they are good gobblers.
Unfortunately got to do some food shopping today for our Easter Meal. Great Grands are all grown up now and Easter Baskets are now considered "Corny"....their words...not mine LOL. The Grands and Great Grands have plans anyway.....They are heading to Michigan for the weekend with some friends.
That is something about that Bridge being hit by that Cargo ship in Baltimore....I've traveled on 695 many times and have been on that Bridge many times...What a mess, and not just for the commuters...but also for cargo that needs to be shipped and received in the Baltimore ports. I feel for the families of those that were still on the bridge when it got hit.
-
Good morning!
-
Good Afternoon to you Aelin....
How has the day been so far for you and the critters?
-
Three little storms at home, each at his or her own moment :hypno: And I don't think the excuse of the wind outside is a good one :shrug:
-
LOL.....One of the Five is now wide awake....Boo Bear is looking out the living room window at the birds on the bird Feeders.....and is chattering away...
-
I love when they are talking to what is outside. Harmonie learnt that to Eleni.
At the best, Nenya can coo if he is interested by something.
-
Yup....Love the sounds they make.....
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie.....
Just got back from doing the Walmart Shuffle. That place was nuts today....and to make matters worse...I had to go back again because I forgot to pick up my Meds at the Pharmacy...:thud:
Hope your day goes better then that LOLOLOL....enjoy
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny and windy day!
-
Good Morning Fafnir...thanks for the Java :java: ahhhhh
No plans for the day. Did enough yesterday. And yup Noshoba...I got my Chinese....Wooohooo. Got enough for another meal tonight.
It's a chilly 19 degrees at the moment....Today I relax. Only thing I had to do was bring in the Garbage Barrel and that is done already....The driver was on time this morning. Hard to believe at one time you had garbage trucks that required 3 to 4 people to empty the garbage. Now all that is needed is a driver.
I do remember using the garbage can lids as shields when we had acorn fights using slingshots, or sword fights using anything available LOL....
No plans for the day....yet....but I think we got all that we needed for Sundays Meal.
And now.....ON WITH THE SHOW.....with :java: in hand....
-
Good Morning Aelin....
You snuck in whilst I was typing my morning book report......LOL....
How are the fury ones doing? Mine are all calmed down at the moment...
-
They are calm now, even if there was 2 fights this morning. Both between Harmonie and Eleni. And both started by Harmonie. Unfortunately, the first started when the little one washed her. If he was threatening her, I would understand, but he wasn't and I was congratulating them both by voice :shrug:
A short fight yesterday between Eleni and Nenya made marks on Nenya's nose. Because when they start a fight, Eleni put himself on the ground and push on the face of his brother with back legs :thud: Nothing big, but still :shrug:
-
LOL.....Every now and then Callie and Boo Bear will get into it....other then that...none of the others fight. Keep in mind Callie and Boo Bear are still the youngsters and the rest of the clan are older and BIGGER then those two....Picking on them would not be a good thing for Boo or Callie :tearlaugh:
-
Nenya is still stronger and taller than Eleni; and something like twice his weight. But the little one starts most of the fights between them both. He ends under his brother when Nenya tries to end the thing, but that doesn't prevent him to come back again and again and again to fight.
And he did fights already 6 months ago, despite a bigger difference between them :thud:
-
LOL.....That little one is a glutton for punishment I'm thinking....
-
I think he wants to be the alpha male at home. But when I find them fighting, I call them beta males (in common language here, "tu es un bêta" can be translated by "you are silly"). Generally they end sooner and they are upset by that nickname :tearlaugh:
-
:tearlaugh: :tearlaugh: Now that is funny LOLOL
-
.

:tearlaugh: :(ROFLMAO: :psycho:
-
Hi all!
Today we have strong gusts of wind at times... Between showers and sunshine of course.
I hope Parkdalegardener recovers quickly, I wish him that.
My cat admires the shadows and reflections on the walls, he has a lot of patience.
Have a wonderful Thursday, take care of yourself and your families.
:gday2: :blownaway:
-
And good day to you earwenM.....We had the winds yesterday so maybe we sent them to you LOL....and yes....we had the showers also.... But today is sunny but COLD. I think our Spring has switched places with our Winter....Our Winter was a warm one.
All the critters here are sleeping finally. And yes....we wish PDG a fast recovery. I've been trying to not bug him to much during his healing process....The older we get...the longer it takes....the voice of experience speaking here LOL.
Enjoy the rest of the day...

Afternoon. Been a busy few days. Actually TL I usually do my own Chinese. I stir-fry and make soups alot lol
-
I bet the cat looked too much Dune, Sir Knight :psycho:
Well since earlier 1 fight between the guys. Nenya won by his simple technique: I lay on you.
And 2 more fights between Eleni and Harmonie. No idea who started them, but each time Eleni was the winner. I think she is upset because she is no longer the best against him. Too bad in a way, because I suspect she'll start another tonight or tomorrow, with the probable same result. She is stubborn and Eleni is too.
When I think he was trying to no longer fight :shrug: :thud:
-
Good Afternoon to all.....
Been a busy day getting some of the yard cleaned up a little. I use fall leaves to keep my flowers safe during winter....Works every year and I'm sure it will work this year also....
In the meantime....I did some computer house cleaning also. Going through my bookmarks and finding sites that haven't been in existence for years LOLOL....
But did come across one of my favorite places to visit...I think I've shared this link before...but for those who don't have it..... Here you go....Click Americana (https://clickamericana.com/)
Test your memory out and see how many things ring a bell LOLOL
-
Afternoon. Been a busy few days. Actually TL I usually do my own Chinese. I stir-fry and make soups alot lol
I love eating it....Not making it....One of my few joys in life :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Good morning everyone
-
Heyas. I like to cook tl. And the joys cleaning up files is well no comment.
-
Good Morning to you Sanbie....Hope the day will be a super duper one.... :havesum:
LOL Noshoba....Let me clarify the "Cleaning Up" part.....How many know the phrase "maybe someday" when doing any sort of cleaning...be it basement, attic, shed, garage and computer files.... How much cleaning is actually done...
"Wow, look at this icepick...I bet it's old...I better save it"
"Holy Moly....Instructions on how to install Microsoft on a computer.... "Take the 31 floppy discs and make sure they are in order" Etc Etc Etc.....
"I bet that tire can be used if I put a plug in it" (The tire has been sitting there for 6 years now I bet)
-
Ahhhhh the joys of being a pack rat
-
Good Evening Folks!

Zooming by just to wish you al a goodmorning and a Happy Easter.

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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning To all,
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....and just think.....I'm much better about saving stuff then I was before...though I do have two sheds....though your only suppose to have one.....but I sweet talked them into letting me have two...because I need two....not that I'm a pack rat or anything :java:
Just got done tackling the job of cleaning the furry ones ears. Got all but one....My Bootsy. She saw me tackling the others one by one and taking them into my bathroom and had that OH OH look on her face and I haven't seen her since...But....I've got all day....
And I'm back.....and Bootsy's ears are clean now...she puts up a good fight....But I learned a long time ago...wrap them up in a towel the most of the fight is gone and I keep the skin on my arms LOLOL....
So ON with the day....with :java: in hand....Ahhhhhh
-
Good morning!
It's a big rainy day here even if since midday the rain has stopped. But we had it for a part of evening yesterday and for all the night. Wind has stopped.
Sometimes to keep useless stuff becomes useful. When we had the 3 cages for the hamsters, one came with an issue for a bar. Those babies are smart, so it would have been a quick escape, especially like they really all their bars once in their own cage. So what to do with a cage with such issue? Well, you open in 2 the desk-laptop fan which stopped to work some weeks ago and that you still hadn't put in the trash, then you attach one of the "grid" to the cage with something enough strong to resist to little teeth. And you have a special cage for a little girly hamster for the next 2 years!
Of course, I wouldn't keep a tire or stuff like that if I had a car. But there are things that sometimes are good to save even when you don't know yet.
-
You snuck in whilst I was tackling Bootsy LOLOL.....She'll be hiding now for the rest of the morning... All the other have forgiven me and are enjoying their snacks...
I try not to keep EVERYTHING that has stopped working or got broken....but I do save a lot of stuff....and it has been great finding something you need without having to buy it LOLOL.
-
I am a pack rat but if it is too worn out to save out it goes
-
I never know what's to worn out until I have see if I have what I'm looking for and then the decisions made :tearlaugh:
-
Good morning everyone...

Hi all!

I hope Parkdalegardener recovers quickly, I wish him that.

Have a wonderful Thursday, take care of yourself and your families.
:gday2: :blownaway:
Thank you earwenW. I am still in the background, but I am here on and off. Like TL says. I'm old and not entirely healthy so the process is ongoing and the folk here do not need to hear the tale. There are enough depressing things in one's face everyday and I'll not add to them.
On the other hand; Ed's family is coming from around North and South America for a reunion of sorts and has started arriving. I only know a few of the brothers and one sister. Ed's kid is off to England for a month on Easter Sunday and I will move in there while he is gone in order to make everybody's life easier for a bit.
A tea {shudder} please Fafnir while I wait for Ed. Tea. I'll be happy when I can go back to coffee and rye.
-
I am a pack rat but if it is too worn out to save out it goes
I have stuff that I've no way of using anymore and yet it remains. The 101 or more 1.44meg floppies of Win 3.1 are a prime example. I've all my OS install disks since DOS was the only way other than machine code. They are all useless as I tossed my last A: and 5.25 in. B: drives a number of years ago. Well the wife did. She was cleaning the hall linen closet and tossed a box of hardware junk in a box under the bottom shelve. That also included a zip drive and a tape backup. Yep, I'm that old. I still have tapes. There may be an old 286 or a 386 board still in the basement if the drug addicts haven't stripped my locker again.
-
So good to see you in here pdg...hope you enjoy your stay at Ed's and rest well...
-
Morning all. Good to see you about park.

Good Morning to all....
Been a busy morning already. It's raining so I had to make sure the outside critters ate their share of the food so I can take it in so it won't get waterlogged. They are in their little houses now cuddled up in their beds of straw...with two new guests...Another Black cat who will officially be named Blacky III and the orange and white one I told you about earlier.
So glad you'll be at Eds PDG. I do worry about you but I've learned not to bug folks to much when they are healing....Though I do break that rule every now and then LOL.
You and I have had the conversation about being pack rats when it comes to computer items....and yes...like you...I still have some of the 8", 5 1/4" and 3 1/2 floppies...but none of the drives....and like you....I zipped everything with my zip drives....and those are long gone also....but I tell you what...I loved those zip drives...no more sitting there feeding disc after disc after disc into the puter and hoping all the info is saved without any glitches...
Enjoy your stay and enjoy the day.....
Good Morning Noshoba and Sanbie....Hope your day is Super Duper....
-
Hands PDG a Mug of Tea good to hear from you i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for you all and for later on there will be southern fried chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to you Fafnir....How's the pup.....Is she in charge yet?
-
No she ain't and not a table scrap dog either but growing she is
-
LOL.....That's a good thing....Glad to hear she's behaving....
-
Good Morning People Hi! :c-cat: :havesum: :hug:
-
Good Morning to you MG.....Coffee is on.....Fafnir made sure of that.....Hope your day is a super duper one.

Good afternoon!
It was an interesting day, with almost a record of visitor for this year. A little sooner than the other years also.
This afternoon, the pretty sunny day (even if we had clouds) changed to be suddenly a dark - very dark - sky, like if a thunderstorm was coming. Indeed, we had few pieces of rumbles, but it passed more on villages around. Yet, we didn't avoid the rain, plenty rain. I didn't think we would have rain today (it wasn't threatening at all this morning, nor at the beginning of teh afternoon) so I had nothing to protect me. Fortunately, the worse of teh rain had ended when I left the job. I took my scarf (I had forgotten I had it in my bag) to put on my head. I was kind of Easter egg a day before it's Easter :tearlaugh:
This night, we'll finally change of hour, to be back to usual difference with you all.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
LOL.....You and the weather need to become close friends Aelin LOL.....but glad the rain missed you...somewhat. And it's always good to have a busy day at work....makes the day go faster.... Just got done putting winners up in FaceBook. Well, I put them up earlier but haven't escaped from FB until now. Thankfully the outside kitties needed feeding LOL
-
Good Morning to you Sanbie....Hope your day is going good....
-
Morning and congrats sanbie.
-
Tomorrow I'll take what is necessary against the rain... and it will probably be useless then :tearlaugh: At least I found a way to fight a little teh rain on the traject until home. Worse case scenario, I would have taken my bag on the head.
-
LOL.....You can always get one of those hats that have a umbrella attached to it...It's stylish and useful.....Well, more useful then stylish.....:tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
See Aelin...they are stylish....
-
Man that umbrella looks weird TL...Day has just started for me TL...
Thank you Noshoba...
-
Happy Saturday evening (US) and Easter (AUS)!
PDG and TL, I still have not only all the media but all the drives. And I try to keep them in working order, at least did until the basement flooded a few years ago. Haven't checked since then. Even a working 386 system with a VIOX video card. I'm not sure the monitor still works, though.
Aelin, will be glad to have you back on the same (general) schedule as the US. I hope you manage to stay dry!
-
Hi Sanbie....I was lending a helping hand to Aelin...Maybe she can bring them into style LOLOL....
Good Evening Sir Knight....If I still had my old place I would have kept all of my stuff also....but alas...coulda, woulda and shoulda did not come into play LOL...
Hope all have a most excellent evening....Time for my Saturday Night Hot Dogs and Beans....
-
April only one Day Away! :c-cat:
-
Yep Radkres...my grand daughter is in the hospital right now giving birth...she is hoping it comes tonight as she doesn't want an April fools day baby!
-
Morning and congrats on the grandkids Sanbie. No I wouldn't want that for a birthday either. Happy Easter.
-
She ended up having it at 3.23pm...so she is happy...her first words out of her mouth was...I am never doing that again...he weighed 7lb.1oz...
-
Isn't that always the first words?
-
Hi all!
I wish you a happy Easter.
May the sacrifice of Christ finally touch all hearts throughout the world.
Take care of yourself and your families.
:easter5:
-
Yep Radkres...my grand daughter is in the hospital right now giving birth...she is hoping it comes tonight as she doesn't want an April fools day baby!
Glad she had the baby before April 1 Great Grandma....And the baby's name is ?????
-

Hi all!
I wish you a happy Easter.
May the sacrifice of Christ finally touch all hearts throughout the world.
Take care of yourself and your families.
:easter5:
And a very happy Easter to you ..... And yes indeed....Easter is more then just Easter Egg Hunts and Easter Bunnies.
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.....Todays menu here is Ham, boiled Potatoes, corn, and Applesauce....
-
Thank you! Easter will perhaps be under storms. The weather is weird at the moment.
May those who can be with their families enjoy this beautiful time.
-
Menu for today for us pan fried fish and coleslaw hushpuppies too
-
Had rain last night earwenM...it will be a dreary day here....but the rain will hold off until after the Easter Eggs Hunt I'm thinking. My Great Grands are teenagers now and Easter Egg Hunts are considered Corny LOLOL....
The furry ones like a little ham every now and then....as do the outside clan....so they will be having a Easter Sunday Meal also....Three of them also like applesauce.
-
Happy Easter and Baby Basket! :3flower;
-
I'll go along with the Happy Easter.... :easter5:
-
Good afternoon and :easter5:
It started by a foggy morning after the short night of the change of hour in France. Then it turned in grey. The afternoon, we won a lot of good weather with sun. But when I left job, the rain arrived. This time, I had the kway to protect myself :tearlaugh: And no umbrella on the head TL, except to break that kind of umbrella... and my head with a bog wind blow :tearlaugh:
It was a huge day, and it's official that we already have broken record of last year for the number of visitors in less of 2 months. More to come with Summer and the temporary exhibition, for sure.
We had a group to visit, and one lady reminded me of McG. She had a scooter to move inside the museum.
:congrats: to you grand daughter Sanbie!
-
LOL....I'm not a fan of the umbrella hats either.....so no worries....Glad to see that it's busy at your place of work....that is awesome and then some. Are they open just on the weekends?
And I think your a rain magnet....it seems to follow you.
Haven't started our Easter Meal yet...Neither of us eat early.
-
Good morning everyone...
Thank you for the congrats on the birth of my GREAT GRANDSON...They have named him Wesley...
-
No, it's opened 6 days a week. It's just the weekends are busier during this part of the season. Special weekends (such as Easter), we have more people like it's like mini vacations.
Like we'll go toward Summer, we'll have more and more people all the 6 days of the week. Summer will be the crazier time.
-
Good morning everyone...
Thank you for the congrats on the birth of my GREAT GRANDSON...They have named him Wesley...
Great name for your GREAT GRANDSON...... :havesum:
-
I was wondering about that Aelin....It does seem like you are busier than you were last year ..... So my seeming that you are busier than you were last year is not just me wondering if you were busier this year than last year. Confused yet....? I am......My head hurts now......
-
Good morning everyone...
Thank you for the congrats on the birth of my GREAT GRANDSON...They have named him Wesley...
Congrats to the new Mom & Dad, and I am sure you are a proud Great Grandma! Oh, Wesley is what I named my son, 44 years ago! LOL!
-
It is a fine name for a boy...I hadn't heard of it before...but I do like it!

Good morning!
We passed from grey clouds to sun to back to grey clouds. We'll see if rain is coming.
I was wondering about that Aelin....It does seem like you are busier than you were last year ..... So my seeming that you are busier than you were last year is not just me wondering if you were busier this year than last year. Confused yet....? I am......My head hurts now......
My full time job last year was during Summer. So busy busy busy!
For this year, it was unexpected by me like by the museum I start full day job for February and March; but unexpected things happen, it's all I can tell. In theory, no full time until Summer again.
Concerning the number of visitors, it was expected Easter weekend was with more people, but not so many. Of course, we haven't as many visitors as the Louvres. But yesterday in the afternoon, not even in 30 minutes I did as much visitors as I had in the morning :thud: And the harder part in the job is to rush from the welcoming side to the shop side and to keep all people happy by not waiting too long. That part was longer than what I had last year, in September.
I'm glad anyway that my colleague being the guide for a group came a little earlier in the afternoon. Waiting her people, she helped me as she could during that time. Even when she ended her tour she came back (but a started hour having to be paid, she doesn't like to stay by doing nothing so it was her way to fulfill it).
Anyway, it was a huge day for us even for the shop itself. Frenetic people in a way, for few they bought stuff I thought would be never bought!
-
We are suddenly with strong wind, and also with a thunderstorm rain; we'll see if we have more weather than that.
-
Good Morning to all....
A unexpected blip with our power today....Was going to blame the electric company but have switched the blame to the NSB's (NOT SO BRIGHT) ones doing the work on the lots behind us. Good thing I always check with the Power Company to see how long the outage would be...because they said there was no outage reported....I told them...there is now.
Guess they came out quickly since their sub station is right down the street.
Anyway....As I mentioned Aelin....It's sounds complicated to work in France....And Good Morning to you.
I'll be back in a moment....I've got to get things set up for our Non Contest Contest....
-
There are few long term contracts with full time job in France, but that's life :shrug: I take what is offer to me and I'm glad with that.
Thought your issue could have been from further, in a way you couldn't know the beginning of your problem. But I see you are able to know from where it was :thud:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Good Morning Sanbie.....
Have a AWESOME day. Got some thunderstoms rumbling
-
We have sunshine again...I had to close my blind as it was too bright and I couldn't see my computer screen! lol
-
Yeah we had a little rain today too, TL. Very light though. Was nice!
-
Ha! Forcasters took the snow out of todays forecast and put in bright warm 41F Sunny skies! :)
-
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
-
Good morning!
It's a shiny day and clouds don't seem to come here for the moment.
-
Good Morning to all,
I totally forgot I had a Doctors Appt this morning so I had to do the "Late for a Date" shuffle.....And got there JUST in time....Told them to hold off taking my pulse and blood pressure for a bit because I knew damn well they would be high LOLOL. So they took both after my Doctors checkup and check...and they were good numbers....So all is well.
Got pouring rain, winds are blowing...and sometime during this weather front...we'll be getting 5-6" of heavy wet snow....:thud:
-
I hear a Echo......Hellllloooooo
-
An echo? Hum, meaning the dungeons door must be opened :OMG:
-
Well, we shouldn't have been so nice.....I'm thinking giving them Dungeon Keys last Christmas was not a good thing........some seemed to have escaped......even after signing the "Will not try to escape" contract...
-
But I've been busy in here all day cleaning house....so all is good...
-
And now it's snowing...after a morning of rain....and I mean it's coming down and is now sticking to the sidewalks and streets....
After looking outside for the past ten minutes....I noticed one thing...the birds know the kittens aren't going to come out in the snow and they are on the ground gathering up food that has dropped since the wind is blowing and it's tough for them to hold on to the birdfeeders...
-
Good morning everyone...well we have sun here at the moment...but apparently a mighty storm is a comin'
-
Still snowing here...the outside kittens are getting frustrated because they can't sneak up on all of the birds that are under the bird feeders getting the food that the ones on the bird feeders are dropping in the snow...
-
Lol...sounds like all cats and kittens...wonderful creatures aren't they?
-
Good morning!
It was full of clouds here when the sun has risen, it's raining since the end of our morning. The Twins are quietly resting (I was told they ran a part of the morning) but Eleni is still full of energy!
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
A good Morning to all.....
I'll not complain about the snow since others had worse weather last night then we did here. Still snowing though....and I'll wait till it's done....and it gets above freezing to shovel it. The birds, cats and kittens are all upset because no food is out for them. They can wait until the snow stops just like I am. LOL
Mother Nature sure has been messing with us lately. I think it's payback since we mess with her more then she does us. Anyway...I'm grabbing a :java: and taking a tour....and resting up before I head out to shovel this heavy crap. To date...we got 8" of the heavy wet stuff on the ground.
-
Ha! It is 39F, 75% humid and Clear at 8:12am. Promises to be a right pretty day! Just fine for seeing a new doctor. Later y'all!
-
Keep me up to date McG....and you've got my number.
-
Well, we shouldn't have been so nice.....I'm thinking giving them Dungeon Keys last Christmas was not a good thing........some seemed to have escaped......even after signing the "Will not try to escape" contract...
Don't you know prisoners will lie almost as convincingly as a politician!
-
Something Strange Daz Has a AI Thing Now! O.o Now it is Gone?
Also Rendrosity News Letter Has a New Freebie TycoonOffice
-
Done with the shoveling of that HEAVY WET snow....and I mean HEAVY.... Then came in and took a shower to relax the muscle cramps LOLOL....
And to top it off, I had little Grey Baby and Calie II (the outside kitties) getting in the way because they wanted their food. I tried to explain that I had to clear a spot to put the bowls ..... That didn't work.... So they stayed underfoot until I finished the shoveling. Then I gathered their bowls and gave them wet food only...
The only one that didn't bother me and was smart enough to stay in his house was Blackie II. He got a extra helping of wetfood for being patient. Then I filled the birdfeeders..... So all the critters are fed...
-
Afternoon. Seems interesting with the test I did through the email. Now I am curious how it will work with Daz itself.
-
As they say.....the show must go on.....love her look...
-
Well I already see a no no on their part. I am not going to repurchase my characters to use it. Right now only V9/M9 is usable. Monthly price is decent and has a few features the ones I already use don't have. Also have to factor in what are the filters being applied to the prompts lol.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning Sanbie.
-
Howdy Sanbie, Noshoba, TL!
-
Good morning!
It's a mixed day, but more of clouds than of sun.
We'll see also if Nenya is eating in his dreams, like he was obviously yesterday :tearlaugh:
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be BBQ pork ribs with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
A little late this morning. Had some chores to get done around the homestead before I turned the computer on else they wouldn't get done because I'd be on the computer.....80% of the chores are done....but I couldn't resist the lure of the computer...LOL.
Will most likely be making a Walmart run today. Lorna got her tax money back :thud:
Morning Aelin and Fafnir....
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Morning Sanbie! :3flower;
-
Morning Sanbie.....As I predicted....I had to make a Walmart run....but this time I didn't spend any money....The "Got My Taxes Back" daughter paid for the stuff we got....Wooohoooo
-
Good morning!
Day is full of sun and Spring well in the place.
Eleni is looking outside right now, and he is following some pidgeons' ballet. Nenya and Harmonie are just taking a sunbath.
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning, Aelin. What a glorious thing cats are!
-
yep cats are fun so was having 5 parakeets
-
Good Morning,
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir, and good morning Sir Knight and Aelin....and Guest....and those shown as being in here but are not in here at the moment...
Not to bad outside....At least the outside gang didn't have their food freeze or get wet... It's a warm 33 degrees. (Anything above freezing is WARM)
I think I'm in for the day....since we went out yesterday....but one never knows.
Morning Aelin....I've got Bootsy in her sleeper behind my desk snoring away, Puss Puss gazing out of the bedroom window, Henrietta is on her high tower gazing out of the back door window, Calie and Boo Bear are raising hell chasing each other. A normal morning....
-
Hi everyone!
Today the wind is a little crazy and the temperature is finally mild. After the incessant rains of March, it's better.
I wish you a wonderful day. Take care of yourself.
:c-cat:
-
Good Afternoon to you ...... Glad your day is better weather was. I still have snow on the ground...but it will be melting fast....the rest of the week will be warmer....You have a MARVELOUS rest of the day....Give the kitties a pet for me...
-
Just got this message from my Brother in Rhode Island:
"Our bldg shook earlier, NJ had a 4.8 magnitude earthquake earlier. Tremors felt from Boston to Philly."
As most know....He lives in Lincoln Rhode Island.....No damage at his place.
Earthquake rattles northeastern U.S., shakes felt in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, RI, Mass (https://www.yahoo.com/news/earthquake-rattles-northeastern-us-shakes-felt-in-new-york-city-new-jersey-connecticut-144832095.html)
-
I'm thinking the world is coming apart:
This was earlier on in the week~ April 3rd: Taiwan rocked by 7.4 magnitude earthquake, leaving at least 9 dead and nearly 1,000 injured. What to know.
The strongest quake to hit the island in 25 years left dozens of others trapped.
Updated Wed, April 3, 2024 at 1:40 PM CD
-
yea mother nature is giving us payback and warning us to do better takeing care of earth
-
Heard there was also an earthquake in Japan after Taiwan.
Well, crust is maybe just moving a little more than usual. Like tides with Moon cycle. Don't forget Monday is the solar eclipse moment for some - and I think USA are concerned, isn't it?
-
Some Around Here are More like This! :borednow:

Lol great little video there Radkres...
Good morning everyone...
-
Earthquake epicenter was about 30 minutes north of where I work. It lasted for a bit. No reported damage other than the Governor of NY calling New Jersey "west of Manhattan". :OMFG:
-
Bwaaaahaaaahaaaa.....Now THAT'S funny Sir Knight.....I guess I was traveling on I 95 in the wrong direction all those years working for IC.... And to think...Folks vote them in.... :thud:
-
6.8 magnitude earthquake registered near Mariana Islands; so far no tsunami threat issued (that was 8 hours ago my time)
-
Wow, the earths angry for sure!
-
Good Saturday Morning to all.....
29 Degrees but a warmup is on it's way for the day....Close to 40 degrees....Still got snow on the ground but I'm sure todays temps will get rid of all of it.
Other then that.....Another day of light with a chance of dark later in the day :java:
So off I go to get thing going in here....with :java: in hand....Ahhhhhh
-
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 chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Love fried chicken and wedges.....UmmmUmmmmGoooooood
-
love homemade fried chicken much better than store bought wedges too
-
I agree....But sometimes the "Lazy" kicks in and we end up getting some locally.... LOL
-
Good morning!
Last evening we had wind and stars in the sky - obviously not a single cloud. Today, it's a windy and mostly sunny day. Cats are a little excited, but so far the Twins made their best to don't amplify the thing when Eleni attacks them. Himself tries not to go too harsh.
Maybe NY governor should take again some geography lessons.
-
Good Morning Aelin.....
My outside critters are fed and happy.....and the inside clan are resting after breakfast....well, most are...but BooBear is playing with the nosiest ball he can find....It's plastic, with bells in it...and he's playing with it on the kitchen floor...which has no carpet LOLOL
-
Perfect for he plays a long time with it then :tearlaugh:
Nenya found suddenly 2 days ago that we also still had plastic balls with bells. He was back to his behavior of a tiny guy, I love when he does that.
Harmonie and him in fact are "back in childhood" since almost 2 weeks, a few each day. It's great to see them not too much serious.
-
Bootsy is getting more active of late and is actually playing with the others every now and then...But she's still my shadow and is sleeping right behind my chair at the moment...LOL
-
KFC used to sell a 20 pc bucket of original recipe with a full pack of warmed dinner rolls for like $11.00. This is back when I was a kid in the young 60's. Sometimes, when we couldn't go fishing even, Mom n Pop would run by there, get that order to go, stop at some convenience store for our fave bottled pop and home we would go for the Sunday feast! Somewhere in there, the dinner rolls ended. Well, tater wedges were brought in after that. And it was a great combo, bucket of orig recipe and family size box of wedges. Stop on way home for better drinks for way less. Now those wedges are gone, dinner rolls gone, and it costs more for a single size order of anything than we paid for a whole family meal back in the 60's. JUST original recipe isn't worth the $30 a bucket of 16 pieces. Chic Filet on the other hands, has the best little nuggets for a nice price. I get the family size version and a lg order of waffle fries. :oD
But that is just eating out. I fix chicken and wedges here at home most times now. I do great seasoning my chicken, and get it cooked thru fine. Wedges are easy too.
If I was as good a cook as Fafnir, I would eat at home ALL the time!
-
We don't eat out...we Take Out LOL. When I do it's for Chinese Take Out. We use to go to Subway...but after they changed their menu to the stupid side....I make my own subs when I want one... As for Chicken....We do have a KFC in Illinois we go to every now and then....Only because we like the wedges and Cole Slaw and it's a nice peaceful drive in the country before hitting Freeport.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hiya, sanbie. Enjoying your gallery posts. How's tricks?
-
Hi rrkknight...how's tricks lol...well I'm still breathing and that's always a good thing, isn't it?
-
Indeed. Weather's just turning warm here. I'm guessing you're headed into autumn. We finally have some blue birds in our backyard.
-
We have had rain, rain, and more rain...lots of flooding everywhere...but the kicker is...it's still hot and humid!
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Clouds are around today.
Had a night done in several pieces, but I have the habit now. Almost each night, Harmonie is decided to play with my feet. Weirdly, I already tried in the day to see her reaction with feet in the covers, she doesn't care about. But by night (even with a little light like I tried once) she ends by playing with feet :thud: Was even once waken up by claws under one foot which had the bad idea to exit partially the cover :panic:
-
Morning... Rubs eyeballs . ..making a comic/manga template is a serious pain in the arse. Rather fight the churchladies.
Aelin you need my old comforter from back in high school. It shocked the hell out of my old long hair blue point Siamese Kasha. When I got up more morning from the static build up. Have the scar from the claws under mustache to prove it lol. Bet would stop playing with your feet then.
-
Good Morning to all,
Had to get all of the critters fed...especially the outside critters since we are in for a day of winds and rain....which I don't mind because it's not winds and snow...
It was a beautiful red sky this morning and now all is grey...and no birds on the feeders so they know what is coming. The outside kitties are playing tag in the yard and Blacky II is laying in our outside rocking chair,
Going to see what the day will bring as the day goes on. Want to go to Walmart to pick up a few things....but if it's raining...those few things WON'T be picked up. Don't need them all that bad
Hope all have a marvelous day and enjoy....no matter what you do.
Right now I have Bootsy pawing at my leg because she want's some loveing....She's becoming more and more lovable and not as shy as before...
Anyway...time to take a tour and see who is what and where when and what is why....
-
It seems like if Bootsie is going out of her shell since Oz left. Maybe worried to be 'abandonned'?
Noshoba, it happens a foot enters in rebellion when I'm half waken up - just pushing back. But I hear Harmonie preparing for the next jump now. The first time, she was surprised and probably shocked, no more. And she doesn't care the static, not like Nenya.
It's just weird. The first 2 or 3 weeks, she didn't care about the feet. All suddenly, it's a 'game', at least for her.
-
I agree that it has to do with Oz's passing and she loved Oz and would "tolerate" his licking her.... I'm just glad she's not being the moody, shy, introvert as she was before his passing....she's coming out of her shell....Ozzy loved his Bootsy girl...but then again...he loved all of the kitties....he played with them all.
-
Heard about that game few months ago, and I listened the music several times already, when cats decide to come with me the evenings. So far, it's calming them. A moment ago, they were all looking at the window, now they are laying here and there around the room. Which is good, because during dinner the boys were fighting :thud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaxoHUo2Pu0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaxoHUo2Pu0)
All of them loved Oz, each in his or her way. But that Bootsie accepted him and not necessarily others, that was she doesn't feel 'in her place' with the others in a way. But still, it can change with time.
-
That is certainly calming music. Most of the day I have Youtube on with various artists and I always have Bootsy, Henrietta, and Puss Puss in here just chilling out....
Not so much with Callie and Boo Bear.....They'll stop and watch a TV show...(Their favorite show is the news LOLOL) but not a music vid or even listen to music...except for their favorite show. THE VOICE.... Got them in here right now and watching the voice with me.
-
Good morning everyone...
I haven't seen pdg for a while...hope all is well with him.
-
Same here....sent him a note this morning....
-
He was going house sitting for his brother wasn't he...so lets hope all is well...so glad you sent a note to him.
-
Good morning!
We are supposed to be in the 2/3 of France under full clouds, and rain and thunderstorms. We have sun since 2 hours at least now :shrug: We'll see how the rest of the day goes with weather.
I think the last time PDG came it was before Ed has his family gathering and it was easier for everyone that PDG comes near them, for he has somebody taking care of him.
-
Yeah I agree Aelin...but I am a virgo...a natural worrier lol
-
Good Morning to Aelin and Sanbie and all others who are out and about or not out and about,
Well, today is our Total Eclipse day...well....it is for many parts of the US. The eclipse will be at 86% here in Wisconsin around 2PM or so...
And yes Sanbie...he was minding his friends house while he was gone..... If I hear back I'll let all know....or he may pay us a visit on his own....we shall see.

Good Morning to you Sanbie....I was busy putting a couple of odd music posts in our Music Room.... They are a wee bit odd...but then again.....and I'll leave it at that :java: Ahhhhh

Hi Sanbie

After all of the hype about it....we saw just a dimming of daylight as if clouds were passing by....but my Grandson who lives East of me towards Chicago got a partial eclipse....
This is a very cool site for looking to see who got the full or partial eclipse....

We have a mixed day. Sometimes raining, the minute after all full of sun and not a drop. And so on so on. At least pretty everyone has the weather he or she likes :tearlaugh:
TL, your new signature is my Nenya for the body, but Eleni for the energy!
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Going to be a nice weekend but today will be a little chilly....which is fine by me LOL....Don't feel like outsiding today....

Good Morning Aelin.....
Did a little hunting for something new and found this one....It reminds me our our BooBear who is not afraid of anything... Glad you like it Aelin

Good morning everyone...

Good Morning Sanbie, Aelin, Fafnir and anyone or anything else roaming around.....
A nice start to the day....Sunny and 43.....Might make it up to 60 degrees.... I did my outsiding yesterday....and that's enough for me. A day of rest today LOL
No plans, no where to go, so all is good. Time for a :java: Ahhhhhhh
-
Hi guys!
For my part, I have plans for today. Mainly outside during my afternoon. Meaning very soon :tearlaugh: See you in my evening!
-
Hi all!
Good morning! So this eclipse, for those who saw it?
Dreamer's avatar looks great!
Thelufias signature gif is awesome!
I wish you a beautiful day, take care of yourself.
:c-cat:
-
We got a slight dimming of sunlight but nothing else....like you get when a cloud goes in front of the sun.... my Grands who live East of us got to see 3/4 of the sun dissappear.
-
And I'm enjoying the new signature also earwenM....Got my attention right away. This is something our BooBear would do. The others would run and hide LOLOL
-
At home there is also an excited one who jumps everywhere! lol
-
So I've been told LOLOLOL.....There is always one in every group....Ours at the moment is BooBear....the newest, the youngest and the most aggravating of the 5 LOLOLOL
-
I have 3 very quiet for now here. Wonder what that is hidding :tearlaugh:
Boys are looking outside, Harmonie is laying near them. Ah, she has a sudden free wash by Eleni. I love when they don't fight.
Yesterday, Eleni put himself to sit on Nenya who was laying on the ground. It's his way to wash them most of time. I told him "you aren't his mother, stop to put yourself like that", he turned to me very surprised but listened what I said. At the end, no fight between boys.
And... time I end to talk here, had to take care of fight Eleni/Harmonie :thud:
-
My gang is napping after a morning of raising hell LOLOL
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie hope you have a great day
-
Hi Sandbie.....I've been busy deleting Bookmarks for places that haven't been in existence for EONS....LOLOL.....I'm on the C's...Been at this since 9AM this morning...:thud:
-
Nurse had a lengthy visit today, she was 'mopping up' after Doc spent a FEW HOURS doing Angioplasty to leg. This is the last major hurdle to my bad peripheral circulation problem. When I woke in Recovery room later, I was shocked at it being after 6pm. Then again when I saw my leg/foot were downright skinny, no swelling at all! Yeah I was a bit sore at all the "work points", but expected that. Did Not expect such immediate results though! Celebratory Dinner was from Sonic! And I was starving. Me and Alan had a enjoyable drive home, in the night and rain. I was so excited! Like a kid on Christmas Eve who had shaken his gift and guessed it was THE one! I was up all night. Tired, but too excited for sleep. Shared the great news with nurse this morning, she was all happy too.
Hey, Hey, Hey it's a Beautiful Day!
-
YES Dan, you Told Me So! :D :c-cat: :havesum:
-
That's just awesome news McG...I am so happy and relieved for you.
-
Glad everything is going good McG
-
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
-
Good morning!
While sun was still beind our horizon, Eleni was already jumping here and there alone. Very excited, needed to remove a lot of energy of his body. You should have seen him making turns and turns in his flights!
This afternoon, he is looking outside, for insects coming near the window. And taking a sunbath in the same time.
McG, glad to hear your news.
-
Good Morning to all......
It was supposed to start storming at 6AM according to my local TV News/Weather station....Ummmmm....It's 8:23AM here and not a drop as of yet.... I'm glad they were wrong. The outdoor critters could eat their food in peace...and they are still in the yard playing. But it is getting cloudier, so I know it won't be too long from now before the sky opens up to let the rain fall out.
I have no plans to go anywhere today and I did enough outside work yesterday....So I'll continue going through my files and deleting stuff that I deemed "JIC" but can't be used anymore LOLOL.
So I'll be in and out of here most of the day...
And McG...."SONIC".....tsk tsk LOLOLOL...... As long as you don't celebrate like that to often you'll be fine my friend....and glad things went smoothly....Now BEHAVE.....
-
Greetings, all.
McG, glad to hear your good news.
TL, that bearded dragon and kitten sig is wonderful!
-
Good luck with your weather and take care!
-
Good Morning Sir Knight.....Took me a bit to find one I truly liked....and this one got my attention right away. Like Aelin, I have a bouncy hyper weird kitty also who must have taken dance lessons from this little one...Yes...I'm talking about the refridgerator sitter...>BooBear<
-
good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie....the start to another day for you.....And in case you need something to build your energy up....have these.... :havesum: They'll surely do the trick...
Enjoy your day

Chocolates are my weakness...that and ice cream!

Good morning!
It's sunny, it's good for the temps. And pretty every people I crossed seemed happy, that's rare!
-
Sunshine seems to bring out the best in all of us Aelin
-
Good Morning to all.....
Got all the morning feedings done and then waiting for the winds to start that we were suppose to get yesterday but are a day late if they show up at all...Still no sign of those 40-50 MPH winds...Which is a good thing....They can pass us by if they want.
It's nice when smiles greet you instead of frowns...That makes for a great day Aelin
Hi Sanbie...almost time for nighty night for you....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....Need a pot or two today....
And now on with the show....wooohooo :java:
-
Thanks everybody! I am still hyped up about this last work, and I WILL behave myself! Still keeping the glucose down, still watching portion sizes, and still taking plenty of water. Some coffee, but even more water! And yes, Dan, Sonic is just cause I was starving from being fasted all day and on the way home finally! It is Friday and I am less sore, more energy, and still keeping to bed and elevated just cause the doctor said so. :o)
-

I think your winds took a detour to my neck of the woods! We're experiencing some really strong winds today!
-
Good morning!
It's very sunny today. Twins are sleeping, while Eleni is looking for insects from outside. At least no trouble from each other for now :tearlaugh:
-
Good Saturday Morning to all,
Looks to be a nice day today....and I did NOT get the 50MPH winds so you are right Agent....they skipped us and visited you....our highest gust was 25 MPH...
Glad you're still perky McG.... Every now and then slipping from a healthy diet is fine....I had a Big Mac and Fries last night. Got the Gift Card at Christmas...And now nothing is left on the gift card since Lorna got a meal also....I won't visit again unless someone gives me a gift card.... :tearlaugh:
I finally have everyone settled in... Got the outside kitties fed....and it's that time of year....Got cats in the yard that I've never seen before...and they are NOT looking for food :thud: But, they would have to get past our big fella, Blacky II....he is protective of the two little ones...
And now....on with the show...with :java: in hand....
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill with all the trimmings and tater wedges

@ Aelin: Ahhh! Blessed Peace! :3flower;

Thanks Fafnir! (munching tater wedges and sipping coffee!)

I am still resting, and sleeping much better now. I woke at 7:40 pm, and realized I'd slept 8 full hrs this time. AWRIGHT! :D

Good morning!
It's sunny sunny once more and this morning, was at a "vide grenier" in town ('garage sale' for you?). Anyway, I didn't see so many people in once at that kind of thing. Even the other years, the sellers aren't all already arrived on the place in the morning. This year, there was only 2 not yet installed; too bad for them :shrug:
In addition of plenty people, there was plenty English ones and plenty dogs too.
Unfortunately, I found only 1 DVD which interested me. There were cool things, but of you haven't a house, and a big one, you can't take them :shrug:
Oh, on my way in the middle of the crowd, I crossed one of my former colleagues. She made like if she didn't see me, and that was really fine for me like I wanted to don't say hello to her. But I have no doubt I will be between Monday's "cancans" :tearlaugh:
-
Good Morning to all,
We are going to be at 77 degrees by midday....Did a lot of yardwork already and Sunday is a day of rest so I hope all others enjoy that 77 degrees outside....But on a good note...I will have the windows open so the animals can enjoy it.....
Aelin, Here they have what is called Maxwell Street Days (https://visitdowntownmadison.com/maxwell-street-days).... This is the 2023 listing....They are still setting up this years agenda. Got a lot of my comics during the Maxwell Street Days...At great prices...and some free....
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir.... And now to see what is what, who is where, and why is when not here..... with :java: in hand...
-
Unfortunately, not a single bande-dessinée I wished to find was on sale. Only few of those I already have.
I think we'll have one also in July, but not sure. And the mega "braderie" on mid-August. If I don't work the day it is, I would be able to see what is there.
-
I have no luck finding comics at our local Maxwell Street Days either...which is why I make the trip to "Mad City" (Madison). Comics are big there since it's a College Town.
-
Hey folks. Just got to answering TL's DM. Response went something like this:
Still alive. Hopefully had my last surgery for a while on Thursday. They let me out yesterday. Ed's kid will be back from vacation some time this week so I am back home again. Any more MRIs and brain scans and my bank cards will start degaussing. I'm already my own pale green nightlight. Don't need to worry about stubbing my toe in the dark anymore. Makes the night time bathroom trips a lot safer. Still pretty cripsy around the edges but I'm hangin' in there.
Illegitimus non carborundum
don't let the bastards grind you down
-
Good to know you are ok park.
-
Thanks for the response PDG....Got the healing prayers still at full force.......Don't know of any money prayers.....but I'll make one up for the Hell of it...one never knows...
-
I think that those of us who have had to deal with lethal health problems, the prayer we have is Please give me some relief to this mess!
The pain can be off the charts, the worry too. Knowing you sit on the short dirty end of the stick is pretty bad dealings. But ya go with what ya actually have. Be realistic. And put your energy into getting better. Tough? Yep. Worth it? Absolutely!
So, THANKS hugely for ALL the prayers sent up for me folks. You mean far more to me than you know! I believe that prayers DO get answered. Not always the way you might want, but always in ways needed. Yes, thanks to you all, and most of all, To HIM who we pray TO! THANK you Lord, for your Hand in my life, for your healing touch, for ANY thing you want to do! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
-
Good to hear from you PDG and glad you doin better
-
Hey McG glad you doin better too
-
Thanks Fafnir! Appreciate ya man. And I too am so glad PDG is getting better! Crispy round the edges and all! :D
-
Thank you too Sanbie! I feel concern about everyone I know here. Getting to be a lot of people too! I worry about Ray and even John.
-
Good morning everyone...
So good to see you are alive and getting better Pdg and thanks for stopping in and letting us know...
McG...glad you are on the up and up also...just keep doing what the Drs say...
-
Yes Ma'am! :3flower; :havesum:
-
Well let's see if I got the sig thing figured out.
<edit to add> purrfect :c-cat: </edit>
-
Thanks Fafnir! Appreciate ya man. And I too am so glad PDG is getting better! Crispy round the edges and all! :D
Yep and I offer my new sig as advice:
-
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 fixings and tater wedges
-
Good morning!
Sun is shining now, but since our morning we had a lot of clouds. I guess the strong wind allowed that hole between them.
-
Good Morning Boys and Girls.....
Another Monday is upon us....and Monday is normally the barometer on how the rest of the week will go....so I wish you all a AWESOME Monday.....
Got to make a Wally World run sometime today....still debating on doing the lawn......Got storms moving in tomorrow so I might wait till they pass through
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir...I'll give you a buzz later in the day.......
Good Afternoon to you Aelin....How's the furry clan doing today....did you have to play referee again today LOL...
And now to see what else is going on in here.....with :java: in hand
-
It was a wild midday, with Eleni and Harmonie fihgting. Then Nenya and Eleni. Never had the occasion to see who started the thing. But voice was stronger to make them stop. All was well, then Harmonie found the way to be foolish on something else :shrug: I'm now with Nenya only in my room. The 2 others have to compose together and so far, it seems they are quiet. And Nenya is enjoying to sleep without any 'threat'.
-
LOL....Sounds like my morning with Boo Bear. He likes to aggravate Puss Puss and Cali. He doesn't pick on Bootsy or Henrietta....Both are a lot bigger then him and Henrietta just swats him in the head if he gets to aggressive. Bootsy gets up on her hind legs and plays ninja....and it works...Boo Bear is baffled by her moves :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
:tearlaugh: It must be great to see Bootsie doing that! She has right to do that.
What Henrietta is doing to BooBear sounds like Harmonie with Eleni. At the difference Eleni will do the same to her. So, it happens we have a concert of void heads slammed by each other :shrug: :tearlaugh:
-
Patience tries to terrorize Cookie Baby and McCartney. Both sometimes swat back at her, and follow her as she backs off. We have not yet had a real cat fight between them, and we hope we never do; but if one happens, we will break it up.
-
When Boo Bear snuck in here there were a few skirmishes.....but all have accepted the little sneak and Callie is soooo in love with him....Glad we got her fixed LOLOL....He is next...but no hurry there...all the others in here are fixed.
And yes Aelin.....I'm so glad Bootsy has found her spirit. She is still my lovable cuddly bear....but she now explores more and is certainly more active and verbal.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie hope everything is well with you
-
Hi Sanbie....Just got in from doing some yard work I said I wouldn't do today....but my inner self and outer self had a argument about it....and the inner self won...the outer self is still complaining....as is my body... :thud:
But all in all it was fun...somewhat...and yes....Worn out is exactly how my inner body said I would be after all is said and done....
Had to go to Walmart first so that was a prelude to the rest of the day...Dodging shopping carts being pushed by kids because the parents thinks its cute, and dodging Walmart workers whizzing around with their Home Delivery carts....Yup....Fun...LOL
But all in all it was one of the nicer Walmart trips....my Wallet didn't whelp to loud... :java:

-
Good morning!
We had a weather threatening rain this morning but not a drop. And now, we have sun between clouds.
-
Well, if that doesn't wake you up....Nothing will Rad.....
Fafnir...I wish you made the coffee before watching this and not during it....There is spilt coffee everywhere :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
But I found one pot that had some left in it :java: ahhhhh
Good Morning to all....Not even going to give a weather report yet since it will change at least 20 times before the storms do arrive. Evansville is still rebuilding after our last tornado...don't need another one.
I'm worn out from yesterday so my body and I agreed to stay in and clean files and relax....
And with that......I bid you all good morning, good day, and good evening...whichever fits the bill the best....and I say that while saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Great Granddaugher Taylor who is now 14 today...
-
Incoming in 8 hours for you according Ventusky.
Happy Bday to your great grand!
-
Yup Aelin.....She's growing up to fast....LOL But then again....so do we all.....
As mentioned...a inside day today. Only time I'll venture out is to make sure the outside babies are doing good.
Blackie II was limping yesterday and I got him to let me check it out....Nothing broke, nothing in his paws so I'm thinking he twisted it or sprained it chasing something or jumping off something...Today he's doing much better...a little limp but nothing like yesterday. He got a extra treat for letting me check it out :havesum:
No, it wasn't chocolate but this is the only treat I could find in here :tearlaugh:
-
How are you feeling today PDG.....Getting plenty of rest? Hope so....
-
Takin' it easy for sure. Beauty of a day so I was sitting on my bar stool outside trying to remember what rye tastes like while I sucked up the rays. Rain on the way of course. Yours probably.
-
You'll be getting more of it....We have storms starting around 5 or so...right now it's windier then heck out...I'm thinking I'll have to take down the birdfeeders...they are just about making full circles on the branches...
You take it easy and a little at a time...and I'm not talking about fresh air....but I do like your porch.....always have. Yes, I'm jealous LOL....
PS...I've got to get these glasses fixed or my mind recharged....You WILL be getting rain later on for sure...we have some doozies coming.
-
OK,,,,,Time to change my sig....my eyes bounce every time that little one does his dance..... :tearlaugh:
-
Well Aelin...Our weather guys messed up again....No strong storms....no high winds...but a steady rain until tomorrow morning.....Sigh.....If they had a real job they'd be fired by now.... :java:
-
And....As I was typing that...here comes the thunder and winds and rain...:thud: Oh well, I jinxed myself once again :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Hi Sanbie...
Glad you showed up....I forgot to vote this morning LOLOL....
Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening....whichever fits the best......
Right now I'm watching my tree do the windmill dance....LOL....
Have a great day.... :havesum:

TL, told you about the weather coming to you :tearlaugh: Was just 30 minutes later then what was told.
-
still walking so vampiress left me enough blood
-
Good Morning to all,
Survived the night Aelin and PDG....Only three tornado warnings but none appeared in our area...But got plenty of rain, thunder and lightning. BooBear, Puss Puss and Henrietta didn't flinch..... Calie and Bootsy stayed under my bed for the duration. They were still there when I got up this morning LOL.
Yup PDG....Just a typical thunderstorm. We got the heavy rain, high winds, thunder and lightning....but NO hail or Tornadoes in our area...woohooo. Was going to ask Travis how he made out since they had 4 Tornado watches posted along with hail warnings. He didn't get a chance to chat this morning...he said it was a rough night...and that could be taken a number of ways LOL.
Anyway....On with the show...with :java: in hand...
LOL....Glad they left you some blood Fafnir...
PS....I had this all typed up and ready to post but got to involved with getting my laundry done and filling the bird seed feeders before it pours again....and it is now pouring...
-
Glad ya made it Fafnir.
-
How's the day going PDG???
-
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 BLTs with all the trimmings and tater wedges
We are have BLTs also here in Macon GA. I want to give you my recipe for an even better BLT. Add an egg, fried or scrambled and made into a small omelet. Boiled works too, but not as well. With Mayonnaise, Mustard, or some other favorite condiment, a bit of salt and pepper on the tomato, and you have a sandwich that hits the spot well. I call it a BELT, and I have several restaurants in my area that has added it to their menus, with my permission. Not looking to make money on this recipe; rather I want as many folks to know about it, so they can try it and know how good it is. It's best if you do a fried egg over medium well. That leaves some of the yolk a little runny. I use whole wheat bread, but it is good on white bread too. Other breads it would be good on is sourdough, French, and Italian breads. You can also do it on biscuits. :java: :cool: :feelgood: :thumb_up:
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
How's the day going PDG???
Dark with flashes of lightning. No; wait. That's my head. Actually; they re-instated the hailstones and tornado warnings for just west of here. I'm staying quiet. Net surfing tech blogs.
-
Good morning everyone...so good to see you up and about pdg...you had me worried for a bit there...
You have to watch those pointy things Fafnir...they Love blood! glad you made it away okay...
-
Found this and thought it very appropriate for all the cat lovers...
-
:tearlaugh: Exactly sooooooo that!
-
Exactly.....One thing they've learned....there is no limit on how many ways they can aggravate their humans....
-
Or their bearded dragons.
Hi ya sanbie.
-
Been updating and deleting programs....I've got programs that were not good right after the Civil War ended....well, many, but not that old....but I have many that no long function or even exist.... Then got hooked on my update for my comic collector program. They made some updates so spent the afternoon exploring them....
Sooooo....I thought I'd give you a peek at the program I use for keeping track of my comics. At one time I was halfway through entering the comics into the program....Now I'm only 1/4 done.... Garage Sales are my nemesis...comics jump right into my hands and the wallet flies out....Honest....I wouldn't kid you...That wallet and hand are in cahoots...

I used to collect cards. I know these databases. Keeping up was always a chore.
-
Good morning.
sanbie, the picture perfectly images every cat I've ever know. I have to laugh when I hear people say that animals don't really understand language.
I always build my own databases as I'm just too picky about the to-me missing features. And they're always so idiosyncratic that no one else can ever use them. :whattodo: (OK, that was another nearly incomprehensible Knight statement. I like to build my own. )
-
Good morning!
We had a 'snowy rain' this morning. That because we aren't so far of mountains after all, and there was snow in mountains starting at 600 meters according the forecast weather. We are below that level, so not exactly snow for us.
Yet, cats weren't too much crazy with that weather around.
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto this morning the girls had the biscuits and bacon made for you all and for later on there will be steaks on the grill with all the fixings and tater wedges

I used to collect cards. I know these databases. Keeping up was always a chore.
I love this one because the only thing I have to is scan the barcode and it does the rest...and for the older comics...just put in the comic name and number...all else is generated by the program...It's much better then my 600 page binder with printouts from my homemade chart LOLOL.

Good Morning To All......
Listened to last nights weather and it said we would have a cloudy day....No mention of rain....and I wake up to rain...and more as the day goes on.
Guess I have to make a Walmart run even if it is raining. Walmart is having a sale on TV's and Lorna's has been acting up for a while now and since she's working she can buy one on her own....and not by the "Can I Borrow" method.
And as most parents know...."Can I Borrow" is the code for "You'll never get it back"
And Sir Knight....Once upon a time I did the same....write my own....but I still searched for a good comic book program that gives me more then just what comics I have. This one gives you value based on the comics condition you entered...and since the value changes based on demand...it is perfect for me.

Certainly is quiet in here today.....Be back later in the day.....got stuff to do.....

There are days like that TL. Or maybe most of residents are running to save themselves and not end into the dungeons. Talking of that, I heard a noise :worried?:
-
Yup.....I agree.....Oh well, I've got plenty to keep me occupied LOLOL
-
Good morning everyone...another day another dollar...as the saying goes...
-
Due to inflation it's now 50 cents.....Good Morning to you Sanbie....Hope your day will be a awesome one.

:tearlaugh: 50 cents is being generous TL...more like 5 cents at the mo...
And hope you have a relaxing night...

Morning all, its a damp, foggy and slightly cold one here. Autumn is definitely here with no hint of a lingering summer.
Please excuse me while I drag a bunch of pillows and blankets off to my corner with a pot of coffee. I'll reappear when it either warms up or the coffee runs out (https://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/verschiedene/b082.gif)
-
Good Morning to you Dreamer....
The good news is....the coffee never runs out in here....and your weather sounds just like mine at the moment... Relax and enjoy your day....

I normally like Autumn, as its not too hot or cold and the rain is minimal. Nope not this year so far, I am already thinking about finding the winter clothing and bedding and wondering if it is possible for humans to hibernate
-
If my Daughter had a choice...she'd hibernate all year long.... :tearlaugh:
-
Mornin' all. A tea for me. (ugh it hurts saying that) Another damp and cold one. What else is new. My spring is like Dreamers fall. Cool and wet. Mind you there are a few tornadoes and hail storms thrown in just to keep you on your toes.
-
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 stuffed grouper with all the fixings hushpuppies and tater wedges

Hands PDG a steamin mug of tea enjoy hopefully rye will be allowed soon and glad you're better

Good morning!
It's full of sun here today, even if at dawn there were clouds on the horizon.
-
Good Morning to all,
A very busy morning but I finally have a chance to sit down....before I head out once again......
Lorna is on her way to Michigan with some friends so I could get things done this morning without interference LOLOLOL....
Was going to mow the lawn but it's to darn windy out....
But I do have to make a trip to Wally World....
PDG...our day is a day of high winds, but plenty of sunshine...though chilly...I'll take it.....
Other then that...another day of light....with :java: in hand...

Mornin' folks. A sad day for pgd. 4:20 and I can't smoke. Even though it's been legal for years and I've a few plants growing; they are decorative houseplants for this guy now. No rye. No coffee. No pot. No tobacco. This is getting foolish. An orange pekoe, no milk if you please Fafnir. I hope this isn't a permanent situation. Bring on the brain scans. I didn't need this bank card anyway. I just have to sit away from the magnetic media in this room. I wonder if they stop dealing with me when my Health Card loses it's stripe.
-
Hands PDG a steamin mug of orange pekoe things will get better for you soon
-
:insist:
We will pray for a good outcome and steady improvement, PDG!
-
Good morning!
I hope it will be better for you sooner PDG.
-
PDG Wow Hope they Give You Good News! :3flower;

May have to change the avatar. No more moonshin' like the current one. Need to reflect the slight greenish glow and mangy hair-do. Something to much around with and keep myself occupied.
-
It is what it is folks. I've already a fair amount of metal and plastic installed as many of the PFD folk know. Thus the magneto jokes. It's all nonferrous after all. I'm not really degaussing my mag stripe cards. It's made travelling He!! since 9:11 as I set of metal detectors all over the place when I hit the airport however. I am not really glowing like a radium watch dial despite the radiation. At my age hair loss sucks however. I'm used to adversity. Look at the sig. I appreciate the prayers and well wishes. They are reassuring. I'm not going anywhere soon.
-
Morning to all,
Missed all of yesterday afternoon. With Lorna gone on her trip I can finally give the place the type of cleaning I like to do...plus did a little rearranging of stuff....worn out today.
PDG....It's tough but very doable...I'll tell you that. I gave up drinking and smoking 30 years ago. Open heart surgery convinced me. My social life tanked for a while since most of our socializing was in Taverns, Pubs, Bars, and whatever word they use for drinking establishments. As for smoking....been vaping a non nicotine vape juice ever since. It's a mind and hand thing.
Anyway....I feel for you...but you'll deal with it....we normally have no choice...well, we do have a choice so if you don't do it...the choice has been made already....your body will let you know about it. Still got you in my prayers my friend...
Good Morning to all others in here....I'm late so I've got to get the day started...with :java: in hand....(and yes, they wanted me to give coffee up...I drew the line at that one....but I do drink it black now...Took a while to get use to that LOLOL)
-
I been drinkin my coffee black since i cant get cream from the bulk tank anymore [ turn off agitator in bulk tank cream rises to the top of the milk]
-
I miss the days when you brought a TV...hooked up the antenna and cable box....and you were done....
Just took me 1-1/2 hours to get Lornas new VIZIO TV updated, programmed, attachments hooked up (Atari, Speaker, and CD Player....) and sound to work....gave up on the speaker and unhooked it...she doesn't need it anyway....Once I got rid of it and restarted the TV all worked fine. Then hooked up the antenna and waited for that to update the channels...another 10 minutes....
Though I'm bitching...it's all worth it....she brought the TV with HER money and not mine :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:
-
I don't think there are any over the air stations anymore up here. I remember grabbing the signals from Buffalo over the Lake years ago. Didn't have to pay cable to get the American Big 3 at the time. ABC, CBS, NBC. Them plus a couple of other fuzzy signals and I was good to go.
Mind you once cell phones came in to being people here were having their calls go through Buffalo repeaters if they were at the beach or on the Lakeshore. Made for some rather expensive calls.
-
Here in Georgia we have over the air TV Stations but they have either weak signals, or the radio interference is really bad. We have not watched free over the air TV for more than a decade.
-
Good morning everyone...
pdg the choices we make are sometimes worse than the original I reckon...I haven't had a ciggy for over 12 years now...but the stupid gum I am addicted to!! still trying to figure out which is worse for me...the actual smokes or the gum... :OMFG:
-
Hi ya sanbie. Yep; I remember when you quit. Long time now.
-
Here in Georgia we have over the air TV Stations but they have either weak signals, or the radio interference is really bad. We have not watched free over the air TV for more than a decade.
Must admit to having overly expensive cable. I know there is lots of free over the net stuff and ad supported streamers; but I'm old and lazy. My TV is barely HD and dumb as a post. I've my sports when I want them. Any sport; any where despite my limited interests. I've a crap load of movie channels I seldom watch and a ton of specialty channels. My late wife was disabled and watched a lot of tv. I just never bothered sorting out the wheat from the chaff. If I did; I would probably cancel 95% of it. Landline, tv, internet, it's all the same package. Change one part and the company just jacks the cost of another. It goes up about 10% a year including the taxes and I watch at least 10% less every year. Go figure.
-
Depending on the weather...some days we can get all of the Madison Stations and Freeport Stations.... But as Agent mentioned...on windy or crappy weather days....you're lucky if you get 10 channels... I just watch the local news...No programs....As long as the news is from Madison...all is good.
-
I like your new avatar PDG....
-
Thanks TL. I did a couple but this is the most acceptable across the board. I was getting creative with camera angles and forced perspectives. What suits me doesn't always suit the masses.
-
Please yourself first....all others after....
-
Hummmm.....that might have a double meaning.....but most don't think like I do.... :c-cat:
-
hehehehe I'm out of here. Hockey game is about to start and F1 in Singapore later on. probably going to be a little slow in the morning.
-
Have fun my friend.....
-
Found this and thought it very appropriate for all the cat lovers...
Sanbie I totally love that pic! Tattoo used to do that to me too, and loudly let me know he is THERE. It is actually him asking if it is OK now. Seriously! Mogwai does the same too. I take em seriously. Well, Mogwai I do, as Tattoo is gone now.
-
Mine does it also...and I swear she gets a grin on her face...
-
Mornin' folks. A little slow this fine dark morning. Need a tea and a little time to wake up.
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be southern fried chicken with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Hands PDG a steaming mug of tea

Good morning!
It's a day with plenty clouds, even if time to time a short piece of sun comes.
Today was the first day for the meetings of old cars in town. From April to September, once a month, from 10AM to 12PM. Once at the usual location, not a single car! "Ok, I probably misreaded and it's on another parking near the center of town". Went further but not far of the usual location, on the buses parking, there were less than 10 cars parked in the middle of current cars, so it was even impossible to take a photo. Went anyway on the other parking I thought about (which can contain more cars) near center of town, in case I didn't read correctly the annoucement. Nope, not a single old car there.
Back near the parking of buses with old mixed to current cars, not a single old car added, nor old cars on the usual location - which was anyway the announced location, I have just checked. So the "great meeting of old cars" (and detached pieces for those interested, and with a coffee point) announced was a joke. I'm very disappointed and I don't plan to go to see another time this year.
Already than each year there are participants arriving around 12PM, so in fact coming only to eat with others, not even to present their cars like they are supposed to do...
Cats were super happy to see humans back so quickly. Even now, after they sounded sleeping, 2 of them are looking at the window.
To receive TV, we should have one of the new tv models, otherwise it's no longer possible to receive channels on the old one. The programs are stupid nowadays, and the "old" tv (hadn't 6 months when the 'new' tv came on the market for the change) works fine with DVD machine. So DVD are good when we need to look something.
At the time of the "old system" of channels working, we had only 6 channels and it was some times bad, the rest of time not bad.
-
Good Morning McG and PDG and Hello Sanbie....
PDG...My alarms starts licking at 5am...wet sandpaper across my face, some nibbling on my feet...that are under the covers...and yes...some will venture under the covers to do one on one nibbling...but I refuse to get out of bed until 6AM. If I got up at 5AM they would start trying to wake me up at 4AM :thud:
-
Thanks for the :java: Fafnir and a good afternoon to you Aelin...
That's a bummer about not seeing the old cars. Not sure when our next show comes up but it's normally the first week of Summer...so we shall see. It's spring hear and we have freeze warnings today. Only had Calie II outside eating. Told her to eat fast or it will freeze...she listened.
My tribe has settled down now that they are fed...LOL
-
Harmonie has simply the "I attack the feet from above" anytime of the night. This night, she was in a very good mood and wanted to play and for that, jumping on feet all claws outside was her idea :thud: At the point Nenya opted to take himself in a corner of the room to be in peace.

PS....
PDG...we woke up to 29 degrees this morning....not sure if it's heading your way...Good thing I'm not a gardener....
-
Hi all!
Well, another day of cold wind, fortunately with sunshine. That doesn't stop the birds from singing and right now they are going wild...lol... I wish you a Sunday filled with blessings. Take care of yourself and your families.
:gday: :java:
-
Cats have their own built in alarm clock, and they know your schedule better than you do!
We have a 5 gallon paint bucket we keep their dry food in. When it is time to feed them I sit in my chair as though I won't for a few extra minutes. Patience (the youngest of them) comes and gets in my face and looks into my eyes. She meows.
I say, "What do you want, Baby?"
Patience then goes to the bucket, puts both front paws on the rim of the lid, turns her head to look at me. I already know what she wants but I'll play dumb to see what she does next. She goes to her bowl, and stands over it, dipping her head down to it, then turns to look at me again. She sure knows how to communicate with her hoomans! She's such a slave driver! LOLOLOL
-
Hi earwenM..... I just got out of the shower so I missed your post..... I feel REFRESHED and REJUVINATED and I smell damn good....LOLOLOL.....
No plans for the day but now that Lorna is back home after her little trip with friends I'm sure a Walmart run will be part of todays plans ....
You have yourself a wonderful rest of the day....
-
PS....
PDG...we woke up to 29 degrees this morning....not sure if it's heading your way...Good thing I'm not a gardener....
It is. Frost the next couple of nights. It's not May yet. Beans and peas. They can take a light frost and grow better in the cooler part of the year. I'll probably put some pole beans in on the balcony next week. I need to grow vertically where possible. Not a lot of room in a 3ft x 9ft space. The 8ft height to the roof is a bonus.

Used to have one of them. It was hard on toes in the summer as they stuck out from the sheet. The ear was always a target as I sleep on my side.

At the time of the "old system" of channels working, we had only 6 channels and it was some times bad, the rest of time not bad.
Can't find DVDs around here anymore or the players for them. I've an old Blue Ray player in the bedroom I haven't used in years that I hope still functions. I have hundreds of movies that haven't made it to my media server. Computers don't come with DVD drives anymore. The cable tv providers here delete your saved videos after 4 months. I fear that a lot of media is being lost. Not because of deteriorating media (film, tape, ect) but simply because the big media companies with all the content don't have enough folk view or listen to it so it becomes unprofitable to have it available and it disappears from the list, lost to the future or even the present.
-
The hypermarket of the town still sells DVD and Blueray machines. But almost no longer DVDs. It's not a problem, only stuff from years ago are interesting, we have no interest for nowadays Hollyweird, and it's worse for French movies.
Yet, time to time we find second hand DVDs, like at the monthly "braderie" or the "braderie" of last Sunday.
It's sad really that you can no more find Bluerays of DVDs around you PDG. And same for the use on comps; here they still come with the part to read disks, on towers or laptops. But I wouldn't try on a comp with W10, too horrible for the comp.

Good Morning!
I have a question that someone here may be able to answer. It is about a product that is supposedly available at DAZ. Can anybody tell me the name of the product pack these cool looking glasses are from?
-
DAZ populates my inbox with 2 mailers a day. I've seen them a lot. Maybe even this morning cleaning out the junk. It is possible that they are at Rendo as well as I get a mailer a day from them as well. They should be easy to find.
-
$20

-
Well I think they are all awesome. Makes me imagination get going!
-
They look easy enough to make yourself. That's why I noticed them in the first place. I've a flame textured bowling shirt for Le Homme that would work with these glasses and a jalopy model I've been working on.
-
Good Afternoon to all,
Rough start to the morning. My neighbor across the street told me his wife has passed away. She didn't want to die in a hospital so Don asked SSM Hospital if they can help him out. They said they could.
All the furniture in the living room, except for the entertainment center which had her TV on it, was moved to other rooms. Dons Recliner stayed in the kitchen so he could keep an eye on her. They moved in a hospital bed and all of the other items she needed to send readings to the clinic.
That was five days ago...She passed away at 1AM last night...he was at my door after I picked up Lorna from the clinic after her appointment.
He'll be lost without her...they were close.... As I told him...we move on with all the good thoughts...and Life does go on...just a little lonelier at times. Which is why I'm glad to have my daughter Lorna living with me...though she can be a PITA at times LOL.... Don has no one close by...except for neighbors...
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Haven't been many "Everyones" in here today LOLOL.... So I'll say it for all.... Good Morning To You.....have some chocolate.... :havesum:
-

Interesting.
If I make something similar, I'll try making it universal; adaptable to any figure. I figure if you can extract the .obj models of this pack, adapting to other figures would be simple enough.
-
TL I am sorry to hear this. Losing one's wife is a terrible thing to get behind you.
-
Agent; glasses are about the simplest thing you can make universal. The nose bridge is the key. X - Y spread to accommodate for the different widths of faces, and a Z adjustment moving the frame up from the nose pad to account for the different face lengths. X-Y=left/right z=up/down Your axis may vary. No need to extract somebody else work. However; do not all Genesis have the ability to wear the same stuff? I thought that was the whole idea? All figures can use the same stuff.
-
Good evening sanbie. Hope your day was a good one. Good morning to the rest of you. Me and my tea are just going to hide in the corner.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be gator gumbo with all the fixings and tater wedges

Hi Sanbie hope your day is filled with many blessings
-
Mornin PDG hope you feeling better got plenty of tea ready for you
-
Good morning!
Sorry to hear about your neighbor's wife, TL. Sure you can give him advices for that situation, but you like him wouldn't never had known that.
-
Luffie sorry to hear of your neighbours loss tell him i will keep him in my prayers
-
Good Morning to all....
Was hoping to get the lawn done but have two obstacles in my way....Mother Nature and a Mower that just doesn't want to start. Maybe Mother Nature and the Lawnmower are trying to tell me something LOLOL...
Don has a big family so I'm sure he'll do fine. But I'm right across the street if he needs anything. Checked up on him this morning. Thanks for your concern Fafnir....
So in saying that....I'll take a tour in here....and see what is what....and if no one is around....I've got a lot of other stuff to do and then some....
But First.... :java: Ahhhhh
-

All figures can use the same stuff.
There is clothing, hair, and accessories that are made for later generations of Genesis that won't fit correctly on certain earlier versions. This is from my own experience. Clothing, Hair and Accessories for the Mil 3 & 4 figures can be fitted to Genesis and Genesis 2, if you have the right GenX products installed. Still even with those products, certain things won't fit.
So what to do, eh? Well loading the product with no figure selected lets you position the piece, scale it on whatever axes needed, then parenting to the right body part; such as head, chest, hip, etc. Obviously glasses get parented to the head. I can get things to fit good enough for a render in that way about 80% of the time.
-
Got ya. I'm out of the loop on that stuff. I mostly play in Blender even though I've P12 on this machine and P13 on the one to the right.
-
I'm bored so I made a quick set of shades to illustrate the point even though you aren't going this far. Just because I use Blender doesn't mean one can't use Silo or any other number of modeling programs. It's pretty basic stuff.
-
Good Afternoon to all,
After many attempts and adjustments and cussing and having fits....I got the Lawn Mower going....and now the lawn has had it's first mowing of the year....and I'll be damn if it didn't remind me that I'm getting old(er)......But it felt good...and the lawn loves me once again...and the kittens are back in the yard.
Found this in one of my news feeds: Storm forming over the gold coast in Australia (https://youtu.be/CA79shQtlS4[/url)
-
Good morning everyone...
That looks like nostrils TL...weird
-
LOL......Now that you mention it..it kinda does.....LOLOLOL......
I get a kick out of the weather vids...some are awesome...some are distressing but they are all interesting. I especially like it when they show vids about hot summer days......at the beach......or swimming pool......or ..... well .....there are a lot more "or's so I'll leave it with those two...
PS....Good Morning...enjoy your day....
-
Nowadays I have to read the posts in here more then once because every now and then I miss one that should be commented on:
TL I am sorry to hear this. Losing one's wife is a terrible thing to get behind you.
I agree....I'm hoping his family visits more often now. I've been checking up on him. Went over this morning and he was still getting the place into order after all the hospital equipment was removed...asked if he needed a hand and he said it kept him occupied until he had to go to other appointments he made....
-
Old Gas Maybe? New Stuff Drinks Water So does not last as long.
Sorry To Hear About Your Friend.
-
I thought so at first but once it started it ran perfectly....No sputtering spitting or chugging....and the whole yard is now mowed...
And thanks...Don has a long rode ahead of him...it certainly takes time to adjust.
-
Not enough grass around here to mow. Good morning everyone.
-
Good morning to you Pdg...night time here...just after 9pm...
hope you have a great day...
-
Good morning!
After the snow we had yesterday (twice 3 minutes, all melted in no time) it's a sky with plenty clouds. Was back home this morning just before we start to have rain.
Cats are crazy, especially Eleni and Harmonie.
-
Gooooooood Morning to all....
It's COFFEEEEEE time :java: Ahhhhhh
Damn chilly here this morning PDG.... 33 degrees.... Hell of a difference then yesterday morning when it was 49 degrees...Mother Nature is having fun with us once again....
I had plenty of grass here....Keep in mind it warmed up for three weeks...got chilly for a few days...warmed up again...and we got a ton of rain....Everything is green...my tree has all of it's leaves on it now....So Spring has truly sprung. And as noted...it goes as quick as it comes LOLOL
-
Hi Aelin.....
First question.....When are cats NOT crazy. I still have one that will NOT drink water out of a bowl and insists on drinking water from the faucet...But I'm thinking he DOES drink water out of a bowl when we are not looking.....Yup, it's Puss Puss....
-
First question.....When are cats NOT crazy.
When they are sleeping :tearlaugh:
Nenya would love to have a running water, but he has tendency - and taught it to Eleni - to move the recipient around, even pushing to put water on the ground. So nope, just simple bowls, nothing more.
Maybe their love for water comes from the fact they are born years of water element in chinese zodiac? Twins are Tiger of Water; Eleni is Rabbit of Water (yep, and he likes to jump like rabbits too).
-
I learned to stand right by the sink and when I think he's had enough...I shut the water off. Boo Bear likes the running water also...but not from the faucet...but from the sink. While Puss Puss is getting his fill from the faucet...Boo Bear is using his paw to lap it up quickly from the sink....It's cute...but messy :thud: :tearlaugh:

Good Morning Fafnir.....
How's it going.....Still having fun with the Furry One...? I bet you are. No Doctors Appts today? I'll give you a buzz later...
-
I get to experience Mogwai chasing mouses in his sleep now. He has caught so many that it seems to be the big thing on his mind most lately. He still wants my attention, and likes to stretch out against my legs for sleep. Then, still on his side, he starts running. I just smile and go back to sleep. When he wakes, he head butts my hands. Time to eat! Like TL's cat clan, he is a great alarm clock!
-
so is Chloe she is a great alarm clock for food and to go out
-
I think it's built into all Critters. The outside kitties and cats are up on the steps at exactly 6AM every morning...even with daylight saving time LOLOL....

Good morning everyone...

This sums up my morning

It's a brisk 33 degrees.....And the outside critters are wondering what the heck is going on LOL....But it will warm up to the lower 60's by days end.
What a cute kitty kat Dreamer....and yes...they know they are pretty and cute...always......and handsome also....Boo Bear is going to be a charmer....LOLOL....
Got all that I had to do done yesterday afternoon. Groceries were needed, critter food was needed....and other essentials were needed....all good for another week or so...maybe.
And Sir Knight.....My eyes are watering, nose is running and the Pollen count is off the charts. Never had a problem with it until I hit the 60's....then all changed...It's been mild but now it's at the YIKES level. My Doctor, Olivia, told me to use a nasal rinse...."Occasionally" ..... It certainly works for the sinus problems....
And now on with the show...with :java: in hand....
-
She's a cutie Dreamer.
Good morning everybody. Hope the day goes well for you.
She gets called the adorable menace lol. She has very clear ideas about how things are meant to be and has very strong opinions when they are not.
She got me worried last night though, normally she is here bugging me for her dinner anywhere from 4pm, dinner is not till 6, but last night 6pm had come and gone and no sign of her.
Both Faelan and I took turns standing on the deck calling and shaking the catfood box, it was almost 8pm when she did finally come in and then she spent the whole night glued to my side
-
Good morning!
Little lady cats know they are always beautiful ;)
That is true, everyone that meets Kitt things she is wonderful. I can't really argue but at the same time they have not had to put up with her biting your leg when on the phone lol
-
Hi all!
Cute Cat,Dreamer!
Hey earwenM
Trust me the cute factor goes up by how much mayhem she is planing :c-cat:
-
Hellooooooo Dreamer....
Amazingly, none of our inside critters...who all use to be outside critters....want to be outside critters again. When I get ready to go outside not a one make a move to the door...and when the door opens...they just sigh and go back to what they are doing LOLOL
-
Good Morning to all,
What a cute kitty kat Dreamer....and yes...they know they are pretty and cute...always......and handsome also....Boo Bear is going to be a charmer....LOLOL....
She charms her way in and out of all sorts of chaos on an almost daily basis and uses the power of cute to get little bits of cheese when ever it is being used lol

Harrrooooooooooo...
All my cats have been come and go cats and Kitt is no exception, she became a mostly inside cat last year while we were staying with my friend who had the bad motorbike accident but now we are home she has gone back to coming and going and is happiest when the front door is left open so she is not left waiting on the slow servants to open it for her lol.
She can kick up quite the performance if we don't let her out fast enough
-
That is great....... I'm glad the clan here have no interest in going out. We have enough outside cats and kitties in the yard that don't want to come in....so it's even.....But all of ours use to be one of them and now are not of them but one of ours........ Confused yet....I certainly am.....Damn...my head hurts with all of this thinking.
-
Good morning everyone...
-
Good Morning to you Sanbie.....Hope you day is a Marrrrrrvelous one........ :3flower;
-
Hi ya sanbie.
-
About to move house again...found out the house we are renting at the moment has a major electrical fault...as well as no earthing...the whole place is alive with electricity...so found another place to rent...
-
TL when you getting Spring? This frost is a pain. The magnolia that flowered down the street lost it's petals hard and fast. Same with the cherries. Snow tomorrow and mid 60sF for Sunday and then it's back to the crap. No lawn mowing here though the guy across the street was mowing the larger patches of trash into smaller ones that spread around a lot more with the wind blowing between the towers.
-
Floating Ground! Exciting! O.O

Yikes! That does not sound good at all
-
Yeah and they had the pool pump plugged directly into the house...I was the only one who noticed all the electricity...I kept getting all the electrical build up in my body...so We got energex out to test things...thank god we did...he put a stop on this place being rented again until everything is fixed.

That sounds a bit scary.
I have one power point here I am a bit iffy about ever since they put the extractor fan in over the stove and were messing with it
-
Well I have now learnt it's best to be safe than sorry...
-
You are so right, Sanbie!
-
Well, good MORNING everyone! :D
Dreamer I had a really sweet little tri-color like yours. While we have em, we love em to pieces! I called mine Patches. She was my dog replacement. Or, she seemed to think she was a dog. Where I went, she went. In car, on foot, in the woods, to the pond fishing, in the snow. Yep, but she hated the chainsaws. Too loud I think. But she was THERE.

Kitt is pretty much always somewhere near where I am too, not that she follows me to the extent yours did, nine times out of ten she is at least in the same room and often sitting just out of reach and for a little cat she has a big motor when it gets going lol
-
Good morning everyone. Hope you weeks ends well.
Sanbie I can't imagine a an ungrounded building of any kind. Not good at all.
TL it's a grand -1c with a high of 2 today. Up to 23c on Sunday and then snow to start the week. Never going to get the balcony set up.
-
I think I am calling it a night here, been umph of a day.
Working on a new product and just when I thought I could get on to doing thumbnails and final wrap up I realise the textures are all way too blurry or pixilated.
So it was back into my modeling program to get better UV maps to put better textures on.
My hand is cramping lol :thud:
-
Good morning!
We just had a big rain episod and it's over. Until the next round, probably somewhere before the sunset (even if sun isn't showing himself today).
-
Good Morning to all,
A very good morning today....Got the critters all fed in record time and all are happy. Each week I have a different visitor to the food bowls. Had the beautiful V face kitty enjoying the food this morning....A black and white that has a white face with black from eye to eye to nose...a perfect V....it's been a while and she gets along with Blacky III, Grey Baby, and Calie the Third...
Had a very busy afternoon yesterday and by the time all was said and done....I was done LOL....
Woke up to 38 degrees this morning PDG....So I guess we still have Springter....but this morning was much warmer then yesterday...And beware, storms are in the making....Going to be a Rock n' ROll Weekend....So put on your seat belt...Storms starting this afternoon and but on a good note...it WILL be warmer LOLOL
No plans for today....And Aelin, rainy days are always good for No Plan Days.....Got at least twenty projects I could complete...but most likely won't...but we shall see. LOL
Good Morning McG....You're the early bird today...
Good move Sanbie.....Better to be on the safe side then the sorry side of things...
Good Night Dreamer....be it a little late in saying that LOLOL
And now.....ON WITH THE DAY.....with :java: in hand.....woooohoooo
-
Mornin to you all pots were on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be bacon wrapped scallops with all the trimmings hushpuppies and tater wedges
-
Hi folks! :c-cat: :havesum:
-
Just wandering the vacant halls with my cup of lukewarm tea.
-
Good morning, PDG. Same here. This place is huge. And I keep hearing scurrying sounds far back in the empty side corridors.
-
either the dust bunnies or Kianna
-
Good morning!
It's a sunny day with a lot of strong wind! Have only 1 cat with me for now, the 2 guys being somewhere in another room without wind blowing against windows.
-
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 beef with all the trimmings and tater wedges
-
either the dust bunnies or Kianna
I've heard gnashing of teeth but no hiss of snaketacles so it must be the dust bunnies.
-
Good Morning to all,
Had one of those mornings.... It's so windy out it blew one of the outside cat food bowls full of food right out of my hands and to top it off the winds blew in the opposite direction and damn near knocked me off the steps. Poor kitties had no clue what happened and hid in their houses...poor Orange Baby ran all the way across the yard and onto the neighbors porch...
Lorna came running out her bedroom to make sure I was all right....She thought I fell...which does happen LOL...and she's NEVER EVER seen this time of day....:tearlaugh:
Anyway....on with the day...Thanks for the :java: Fafnir....I need it....
-
I'm bored so I made a quick set of shades to illustrate the point even though you aren't going this far. Just because I use Blender doesn't mean one can't use Silo or any other number of modeling programs. It's pretty basic stuff.
Apologies for my absence from the discussions; especially this one.
Looking at that pair you made, looks like a professional design.
Speaking of the modeling aspect, I've done some more complex mechanical models, on which I am currently working on other aspects of, some of them are in the "rigging readiness room". LOL
I do plan to make a few different types of spectacles, some of my own design. Rigging will be simple for most of them. I do have an odd design in mind, that I need to figure out the way its joints will work. That will determine the shape of the part. I'm drawn to ball joints, because of their hinging freedom. Just make the center of rotation for all axes the center of the ball.

Has she been spayed? If not, she might be looking for a mate.
-
Has she been spayed? If not, she might be looking for a mate.
Oh very definitely! That was my number one priority when I took her in off the street as a 9 month old kitten, there are too many kittens needing homes here already for me to not make sure my cat wasn't adding to the problem.
Given the fact that since she showed back up she has been a bit clingy I am inclined to think she stuck her nose somewhere she shouldn't have and got locked in for a bit.
Kitt is notorious for getting into things she shouldn't at home so wouldn't surprise me at all
-

Cookie Baby is like that. One time she was locked inside a friend's SUV for 3 days. I found her by remembering her habit of doing that.

Draws and cupboards are Kitt's downfall. I have to tie the doors to the undersink cupboard in the kitchen shut or she will open it up to get in there and if you open any draw in the house she is there trying to get in no matter how small or full the draw is
-
I think those are most cats trouble spots. Tattoo, Mogwai, Fizzgig, Patches, Charlie were always getting IN the drawers and cabinets. Oh and refrigerator! Hey with all the great smells coming from there, yep!

Yep. That's what I mean when I say move the origin to the base of the arm. Then just lock axis or not. No lock->balljoint

Good morning folks with a special note to our friends in tornado alley. When the board went down yesterday I worried about you all. According to the weather weenies in my corner of the world the hail and twisters were still a high probability. Me; I'm sweating like fat drunk in a sauna. It's 13c here with another 10c to go. The building heat won't be turned off till the second week of May so it's more like 32c in here and I'm sitting between another 1000w of rgb heaters slowly roasting. It's mid summer for a day. Back to frost at night tomorrow.
-
Good morning!
The 'weakness' of cats is the closed spaces, boxes for example. There was a time, months ago, I had a commode with a drawer opened on the front (thank you furnitures in ikea style :thud: ) and Nenya especially loved to go onto my clothes :panic: :thud:
He had also a carton box for a while that he loved to go in, until the 2 others took the box each time he wanted to go into.
-
Mornin to you all pots were set to auto the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried chicken with all the trimmings and tater wedges

Good Morning to all,
Tried to get in here yesterday afternoon but no such site existed LOLOL. Don't know what the glitch was and really didn't matter. I was just coming in to say good night....Was a busy day yesterday and I was totally worn out.
Then we waited for the storms....Plenty of wind....and rain.....but no tornado warnings at all in my area but plenty to the East of us. Fell asleep early....the sound of rain will do that to me every time.
Good morning PDG.....Got more rain in the forecast but that's about all I know at the moment. It's will change in a couple of minutes anyway....and we are at 60 degrees at the moment...but windows have to remain shut due to the winds and probability of more rain.
The winds were wicked yesterday though. Blew a section of siding off of the shed. Ran out with got it back in place...and it stayed in place. Took 10 minutes to dry off LOLOL...
Anyway....the start of another day...with :java: in hand Ahhhhh

The missing forum was while I was sleeping. Mary made a short note about that

Morning. I am allergic to cats but not sure if it was just the customer's Maine Coon or the incense she was burning in the house that had my eyes swelling shut.
-
There are some days when I'm allergic to people....and cats and kittens are my only comfort LOL
-
Well unlike my younger brother they don't put me in the hospital.
-
:nopanic: :thud: :iminnocent:
-
I could understand Kitt's fascination with the kitchen cupboard if there was food in that one but there isn't, its mostly kitchen cleaning stuff and empty cake tins for the odd time I do baking.
With the draws the first thing she does if she can get in is start moving and removing the contents. Makes it very interesting when you are trying to fold and put clothes away
-
Good morning everyone...another brisk cool morning here...
-
Hi ya Sanbie....And Good Morning to you....Have some breakfast on us.... :havesum:
-
Chocs for breaky...I love chocolates
-
The Breakfast of Champions....
-
My butt is big enough as it is lmao
-
I love em too, but my Glucose hates em!
-
Just passing by to say hello. Surgery on the wrist went well, stitches are still in and the good doctor said they will disolve so don't have to come back for that. My hand has a nice shade of black, blue & greenish pastels. They did "nipped" a small vain wich had to be "burned" to close it and they had to temporarily move aside a small muscle to get to where they wanted to be. O well, it's done now.
We celebrated the King's birthday last saturday and since our very own PSV (soccer-club from my hometown) stands to be the national champion this year, my city exploded almost past weekend with party-people. Soccer is a big deal down here.
Big hug to you all. :aaah!:
-
Saw some of the party people on their boats on my local news. National holiday and a soccer victory, No wonder folk were dancing down the canals.
-
Good morning folks. Rain rain rain and a trip to the doctor today. Sucks. Hope your week starts off better than that.
-
Good morning!
We have a grey day, full of clouds. In a street, a bit of rain, but on the others, not a single drop :tearlaugh: Yep, life between hills can be weird at some moments!
But I guess true rain isn't far away for this afternoon.
-
Mornin to you all pots on auto this morning the girls made biscuits and bacon for this morning and for later on there will be fried gator tail with all the fixings and tater wedges
-
Good Morning to all,
Another day...another pot of coffee.... :java: Ahhhhhh....
And Fafnir...the :java: tastes awesome.
Mother Nature sure had her way South of us. Tornado Alley got hit pretty bad. Our storms are over here for the most part....until later in the week....then more to come. We shall see.
Got to make a run to Walmart today. Got to return a TV. Lorna ordered one for her room now that she's working....she got two. Called Walmart, texted Walmart and E-Mailed Walmart to let them know about their error. Keep in mind that one TV came on Friday...and the second one on Saturday....two weeks ago...
No one got ahold of her but yesterday she got billed for the second TV... It was delivered here so she wants them to pick it up....Nope...she's got to return it to her nearest Walmart. I told her that would happen...but being a parent...I don't know anything....
Anyway....lesson learned on her part...I think.
Other then that...it's going to be a blah day so no outsiding....but got plenty to do inside.
-
Morning PDG....
Visits to the Doctors are always a mystery. You never know what the outcome will be....but you go with high hopes......so sending positive vibes you way.
-
Hi Pommerlis....
Glad things went well with the wrist....Follow instructions and don't strain it to much. You have a most wonderful afternoon.
-
Good Afternoon Aelin.....
Aren't weather folks marvelous.... I trust the birds outside to forecast my weather more then I do the weather folks. They fly away from the bird feeders a half hour before the rain comes...unlike the weather forecaster who says it's already raining LOLOL....
-
Good Afternoon, Y'all!
Imagine counting like this:
1 is next to 0, but on the other side of 1 is 2.
2 is next to 1, but on the other side of 2 is 3.
3 is next to 2, but on the other side of 3 is 4.
4 is next to 3, but on the other side of 4 is 5.
-
You could almost turn that into a song.....

4 is next to 3, but on the other side of 4 is 5.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is easier.

I just got back from the doc. Changed my pain management again and as much as I love Agent. That just made my head hurt.

Well I go back for more work tomorrow. Time to take something out and put something in. Jigger with the settings. Try not to forget the wristwatch. The usual. Currently "high hopes" are the plants I'm turning in to tea around here.
-
I'm sure they'll thrive....You've got a green thumb for sure...
-
Good morning everyone...pdg hope everything goes well for you...
-
Mornin' sanbie. No worries.
-
I'm sure they'll thrive....You've got a green thumb for sure...
Thriving isn't an issue. Mode of consumption has changed. Can't smoke anymore.
-
Brownies taste great when seasoned right....or is chocolate out of the question also....
-
Was outside for a bit getting the Birdfeeders Filled....and petting the kittens who love watching the birds...and try to get them...but haven't accomplished that skill yet...since they get fed everyday by someone :overthefence:
-

Difficulty is the point.

Was intended as a joke.
-
No man. I see stuff like that and my mind instantly translates it. That's why I do what I do. Patterns, sequences, my nature instantly translates. However; as noted my pain management has changed in preparation for tomorrow and literately my brain hurts. For some reason my head exploded into a giant pile of burning blue flashes when I saw that post. All that came to mind was WHY? My grumpy old man couldn't fathom such an obviousness. Humour not a quality I have in full at the moment. As noted. I love ya man. Not meaning to be a dick.
-
No worries. Did not know something like what I wrote could trigger something so extreme. I do know how much you are going through at this time, and I am sending healing vibes your way. My attempt at humor was actually aimed at everybody here, and I hoped that some humor would help some forget their troubles for a bit.

That sounds terrifyingly familiar, PDG. I was told the it is the basis for my OCD (counting). I saw the 'lyric' and brain hollered USELESS. There t'is.
