supposedly it's easier to find a job when you already have one. sad.
how long would you have to work to qualify for unemployment?
...I believe at least nine months here in my state. I also left voluntarily rather than being laid off so that most likely would disqualify me anyway.
Morning. Dawn broke all quiet and innocent looking misty grey after all the storms, there are small patches of blue sky visible so you know the sun haz the shinning somewhere above all the haze :)
We have been having a lot of foggy mornings lately. This morning we had a double rainbow which was cool as hell. I've never seen one before.
Home now and not sure when I get the medicine the doctor prescribed. I want it now.
Oh noes *hugs* At least you know what the problem might be so you can take steps to be more comfortable, lets hope your hair grows slower than this month can end :)
oh wow fantastic, double the beauty :)
My son decided that I had a very upmarket washing machine when he came back home to live some time ago. He put washing in the machine before he went to work one day and came home to find it not only washed and dried, but ironed as well and placed in a neat pile on his bed, ready for him to put away.
(The secret was Grandma, who also lived with us)
oooh wants one of those :lol:
..a bottle of ginger beer (non alcoholic) usually does the trick for me. Unfortunately all the good ginger beers (like Fentiman's and A.J. Stephan's) are made with cane sugar which if I am not correct, is a "no no" for you.
Ginger good for tummy upsets :)
...much better than the commercial antacids pushed here in the states. Over time, repeated use of those can actually result in long term digestive issues.
:lol: my nana had a gizmo in her basement, was a tin tub with basically 2 rolling pins with a hand crank. never saw it in use though.
can't believe, i can remember that from when i was like 5, but i can't remember my bus stop after 4 years, it's a crazy day.
That's a mangle.
Or here in the US, a wringer. :)
I am trying to find the beta site but I am getting a massive headache because the fire alarm is going off when there is no fire. Everything is okay but the fire alarm won't turn itself off.
That's a mangle.

...this is the model we had for many years used all the way into the late 60s.
is anyone else having troubles at da?
i was trying to give points, but the emote was sitting there forever. iz Vaskania's birthday
tried logging out so i could log back in, safari says it couldn't establish a secure connect, can't even logout.
tried old IE, couldn't connect
i can still read messages and submit art, can't do anything 'account' related.
It is quiet now so hopefully I can go to sleep soon.

They do sell machinge that are a washer and a dryer in one. http://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-4-3-cu-ft-DOE-High-Efficiency-All-in-One-Washer-and-Electric-Ventless-Dryer-in-White-WM3997HWA/205140182?N=5yc1vZc3ot
My mum used to have a washer and dryer in one but it took so stupid long and could only do one load at a time.

...right now one of those old Speed Queens would be preferable to having to lug everything about a half mile to the washiteria, having make sure one has enough in change or small bills (as most change machines don't like anything over a fiver), then usually having to stand and wait for an empty drier (why they always have more washing machines than driers is a mystery, guess it's kind of like the ten pack of hot dogs and 8 pack of hotdog buns), and finally fold everything & pack it up to lug it all home again.
Good night I hope the bettas won't bite sleep tight?
Finally, the render is done :blank:
Will post the new link tomorrow... spent the evening with a published romance author.. she told me lots :red: :red:
I need to drop the 3D and WRITE :red: :red: :red: :red:
I need to focus.. d'oh.. :blank: :blank:
Another night between the dark and he light
Addiction to feed, can't put up a fight
I take a seat back away from the stage
See you going up, feel the lust and the rage
:down: :down: :down:
I know working writers, they all have difficulty fronting a KB from time to time. I know that's no help :)
Vicky has cone back from a nasty adventure, she want's to retire :blank:
Aiko spent 2 years at TCN and came back to UAT, for reasons you might discover..

Always think of mangels as a vegetable :lol:
WTF? Are you near the cluster of earthquakes and your brain is rattled? I can understand needing a week off, but the next sentence????
...writing for the big publishers who "pay" isn't much different than writing for Hollywood or television. They want things that they know that will sell, like romance novels. Basically to "make it" to where one can shop your own ideas around, one has to pretty much "pay the dues" of doing it their way first. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with good constructive editorial critique if it helps with the mechanics of putting a plotline, dialogue, and narrative, together so it flows for the reader. It's when it interferes with or forced a change to the original concept which is where I draw the line.
I probably could have worked for one of the big name comic book producers (actually did do some touch up work for Marvel in the back in the late 70s), and even become moderately successful. However for one, it would have meant years of working on someone else's ideas instead of my own, and two, my story concept did not fit in with the "formula" for what they considered a successful salable "product" for it didn't have buxom voluptuous females and male hunks in skin tight bodysuits. As a matter of fact the females were flat chested, an anomaly for sure in the comic/graphic novel industry of the time. I was frequently told by "those in the know" that if I gave the females bodacious boobs and bubble butts and the males rippled 6 pack abs and square shoulders (as well as tails for both genders), and made it an ongoing serial rather than a story with a definite ending, then I might have something that would interest them as there as no way I could have done it by myself using the traditional media of the time..
Self publishing was an expensive venture, as I would have to hire an inker, colourist. letterer, publicist, & accountant (possibly even an attorney), as well as pay for printing, bindery, and distribution services. Basically it would have become more like running a business than writing a story and creating a world to set it in. True it could have been done as a text novel, but then it would be back to finding a publisher who would be interested backing it.
So for almost three decades a small file cabinet packed with years worth of background notes, plot outlines, and drawings sat around collecting dust. With the advent of affordable 3D graphics (which were a pipe dream back then as it required the expensive resources of a mainframe supercomputer, the coding expertise, as well as a background advanced mathematics), and the Net, I finally feel I can realise my idea of a fully illustrated story again. True, it will be a lot of work particularly since I plan to do it as a "one person show" so to say. However, with the tools I have at hand I am able to do that and therefore will not have to worry about handing my work off to someone else who has their own ideas of what it should be. Of course I won't earn a dime from this, however that doesn't really bother me as I just want to tell a story.
The same holds true for Leela's tale.
I relaise I only have a limited amount of time left and need to make the most of it. Both these stories mean a lot to me and have been such a large part of my life, I'd like to complete them before I move on.
I wish I didn't have to worry about being away from my "real" work for 50 -60 hours of the week, distracted by having to do things for someone else and the time it took to get there and back. If early SSI retirement were 60 instead of 62, I'd be there.
...oh, and BTW I still want to see how the competition between Vicky and Aiko turns out.
Woke up in pain and hunger.

Can be a life sentence :coolsmirk:
Good morning, campers!
