    Did you or something possibly change the folder it is looking for them in?  I'm not sure if I'm at the current version, but probably it is looking here:

    Edit > Preferences > Folders >  Brushes: Click on the left white paper icon, then click on the far right folder icon and browse to whatever folder you installed them into, and click on ok.

    ..well even though the weather didn't quite cooperate, I still had a good B'Day.  At the local pub I frequent, the barkeep made my favourite drink for my birthday freebie, a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (they use one of the best recipes what includes Absinthe). The best part was she made itin a full pint glass, soI  was well ""entertained" for  most of the evening  All in all, very good night. 

    Wooh... a pint of Gargle Blaster?… Dang... those are usually served in fairly small glasses... Didn't Beeblebrox warn that one should never drink more than two of those "unless they are a thirty ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia"...   You must have been really happy... or mildly relieved of your bronchial distress... In the event I was not aware of you mentioning mega elephanthood, sorry if I made mega elephant insensitive comments... 

    Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday and the "best drink in existence".

    ..thank you.  Slept very well last night.

    Sounds like someone angered the gods... what's the dragon forecast looking like?  They probably don't fly about in bad weather though...

    I actually can't complain about the weather here as it's going to be fairly warm for the next couple days... today it'll be around 10°C (283° K).

    home of the steak sauce?

    What is Worcester famous for?

    The city is best known for its magnificent Cathedral but is also famous for the world renowned Worcester Porcelain, the piquant Worcestershire Sauce and the most picturesque cricket ground in the country.

     

     

    is this cricket?

    I always have mine at military if I can help it.  I got used to it quickly.  Morning is easy.  Afternoon is fine. At 8 or 20 hundred it is okay.  I tend to go to bed after nine anyway.  Sometimes I stay up to the new year's new seconds but other times I sleep through it.

    Well, in the. Chinese zodiac, 2020 is the year of the Full Metal Rat... (Like the Full Metal Alchemist, only a rat with an automail arm)... Traditionally, Metal rats are very low in the alki metal sodium, as they are comprised mainly of iron or titanium...

    Non-complaint:  I just finished making my 4th batch (3 1/2 doz/batch) of cookies this season.  I give a lot of them away.  Due to an "error" in purchasing supplies, I have enough supplies for two more batches.  What a shame.wink 

    Perhaps cookies will last a while.  I can always freeze them.  By time I'm done mixing the super thick batter for the 6th time my left arm will look like I've been hitting the gym again.

    I feel like I need to make an alcoholic drink cocktail with beet juice... beet juice sounds like something that goes with vodka... Perhaps beet juice and rum might... What the hell... ?... Did you know that if you say "beet juice" three times a guy with bad teeth, wearing a black and white striped suit shows up and makes you dance the banana boat song?… Dayo...Daaayaaao... come mister bananaman, tally me bananas, something, something big tarantula, six foot, ten foot big bananas... daylight come and me want a banana... 

    Well... apparently he can make you dance, but he can't make you sing good or know the words... and if you sing bad enough it unsummons him.

    Anyway...  ah never mind, the moment is gone, I don't feel like making weird cocktails anymore.

    ...there's a pub here in Portland which has a drink called the "Beet Down" made with Beet juice and gin. don't remember what ht other ingredients are.

    Non-complaint:  I love canned beets.  Sliced, or chunks, or whole mini-beets.​  Never tried drinking the juice, but I love the beets, cold, right out of the can.heart  Good snack, stab 'em with a toothpick.  But I don't dare eat them while sitting in the chair watching TV.  I have to do it over the sink because beet juice is alive and it will jump onto any white surface in sight.  It's like blood splatter, little dots everywhere.

    Complaint:  Oh, my aching feet and legs.  That walk to the postoffice yesterday to pick up my computer RAM did me in. sad   And to pile more misery onto them I stood in the kitchen today for three hours,  Cleaning up ahead of time, then making cookies, then cleaning up again afterwards.  I remember this feeling.  It's the same feeling I'd get after leg day at the gym.  Achy, rubbery, sluggish.frown

    Complaint:  My office swivel chair is dying.  This morning the left armrest popped a screw (actually broke) and the right armrest is now permanently 1 inch lower than the left.  Yeah! I could lower the left arm but then what would I have to complain about?  Oh, I remember!  I can complain that the cheap leatherette covering is peeling.  It looks like it has mange.  It started on the right arm (what is it with the right arm?) and has spread to the seat.  Little pieces of super thin chunks of black plastic sticking to my pants and decorating the floor.  And the casters no longer swivel effortlessly even after being oiled.  I could ask Santa for a new chair but I've worn out Santa this year.sad

    Non-complaint:  I have cookies!  And I have Eggnog.  And I have pistachios.  And I have peach brandy.  And pickled beets!  And my bills are all paid.  The house is warm.  And the TV and computers still work.  Yay!yes

    ..curmudgeon time,

    the Safeway ran out of herring in wine sauce. They were fully stocked last week. This makes little sense as in the Northwest, smoked salmon (which I cannot have) is the big thing, not stinky potted herring which is a more of midwest and east coast delicacy. On top of that, no Amontillado, just a cheap brand of domestic dry sherry that likely was "aged" in an aluminium firkin for a couple weeks. So, it looks as if for the first time, the usual holiday tradition is off this year. Should have gone to the other market further away.
