"The supermarket was sold out of ham hocks complaint thread"
No, really. For some reason, the local market had a whole display of smoked ham hocks a few days ago, but by game day, they were sold out!

Things come to the boil faster, and at a lower temperature, at high-altitudes because of the reduced pressure - so they cook more slowly - but that doesn't affect dry-cooking like baking.
just remembered fresh rosemay in my fridge. coulda tastied up my spuds shucks
tarted up potatoes :lol:
I'm making all kinds of goodies for the game. We have pizza, wings and garlic bread on the way. I'm making poppers, onion rings, potato skins, and cheese sticks, nd, of course beer.
the big game is tied
not anymore. NE just scored again. YES!
My television is still unplugged. I'll check on the final score later online.
Because I don't really care, and would rather not suffer through another Super Bowl half-time show. Really.
Unless there's another somewhat interesting "wardrobe malfunction". :lol:
BTW, it's fine if YOU care, :)
Kattey Perry is doing a killer half-time show
Setting aside team loyalties for the moment, at this point we can all surely agree that the advertising industry has a serious substance abuse problem.
I agree, she was very good. I liked her a lot better than Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot. The choreography was well done, though sharks with legs are a bit creepy.
All in all, I'm impressed.
What a whacky finish to the game. And this is sportsmanship ????
The game was great, though I was rooting for Seattle by the end of it. But after the fight, I'm back to thinking that both teams should have lost for that behavior!
complaint >:( - Rain from this morning to this afternoon, when it will mix with snow; watch for icy spots; watch for a rapid freezeup
got a weird hurty feeling my right side near the floaty rib and my skin on my tummy feels sensitive, i don't see a rash. meh
can't tell if the plows came
ohhh i got a bad feeling about going out there. mynok? this asteroid is not entirely stable
...again apologies for even mentioning it.. Can't believe "deflategate" was such a sore spot compared to all the really tasteless and caustic emails and posts to my FB account that I received from people in Seattle I thought were friends after Green bay lost that game two weeks ago. A lot of them were very tasteless and hurtful.
...guess nobody cares. Fine. Bye.
Congratulations Slimer for winning the thread.

I did not finish watching the super bowl. I am trying to figure out who won.
The Pats. 28-24
The Pats. 28-24
Thanks, I did not know who I wanted to win that game.
i miss the flyout menus on the froum tabs.
i thought we were gonna name the new thread after Rezca's dinosaurs?
Oh yeah, I got yer complaints RIGHT HERE SHERLOCK! :vampire:
- Ravens shot themselves in the foot. Pass? Ignorant call!! :shut:
- 13F when I woke up and it was supposed to be in the mid-30Fs. Dang it! :long:
- Streaming the game to the tablet was jerky, stupid hotel router!
- Last render I tried took 4 hours, looked awful. Switching back to 2D until I get a faster computer. :down:
- Chinese + pizza + hot wings + beer + vodka = :sick: :sick:
Non-complaints:
- Good game even if the Seahawks lost due to being stupid
- Food was GREAT :cheese:
- Had taxi money, so warm ride in
- Leftover BEER - didn't drink the best stuff :coolsmile:
- Finished 2 tracks for a new compilation album from Ambient Online :coolsmile:
A few thoughts on content and gear...
DS 4.7 is free, but content costs.. from around 8 bucks to upwards of 100. It you don't make your own content, this isn't cheap. Not to mention the cost of a laptop/desktop system with enough horsepower to create a render before you die of old age! :bug: It's an expensive hobby.
And, of course, there's the insatiable desire for MORE CONTENT! :gulp:
Well, music software actually isn't any better. :blank: the digital audio workstation software I use set me back $60.. my second DAW program set me back $129.. my final loop-crunching software cost me $79.. my stereo audio file editor cost me $99.. :blank:
Then, of course, you need software instruments and controller keyboards to make the DAW usable (for me, you CAN just use the mouse to enter notes). My two controller keyboards were $149 and $69 ON SALE. :bug: Not to mention all the ones I had to sell when I started moving all over... :long:
The instruments, now, there's a lot of money gone. You can get free ones but they're mostly so-so, the REAL good ones can cost up to $500! :ahhh: But those are mostly used by people making serious cash either selling albums or doing film/TV scores. :blank: The most expensive instrument I own set me back $249, but I use it in every composition - and it's helped me create what I hear in my head, a near-impossible task.
And then.. SOUNDBANKS and PATCHES. These are the musicians equivalent of content, each patch set/soundbank adds new sounds to your existing instrument, allowing you to expand your palette without horking over $200+ for a new instrument. And, like content, you want more.. and more.. AND MOREEEEE! :ahhh: Every new sound inspires new songs, so.. well, you know how THAT goes. :down:
The syndrome is well-known among musicians and is called GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Keyboard players get it, guitar players ALL seem to have it, electronic musicians, producers.. have the insatiable urge to the ONE MORE PIECE OF GEAR, which will allow them to finally . It doesn't happen so you buy more gear.. and more gear.. until you're broke, then you wait until you have money (lol)!
Thankfully, gear for computer musicians is a LOT cheaper than real instruments, not to mention they all fit neatly on a hard drive to travel isn't an issue. %-P I have eight primary instruments and five secondary/specialized, more than enough to pretty much create anything. Three of my primary instruments couldn't be recreated in real hardware, too.
Yep.. today I fell for a soundbank sale for my #1 instrument and bought a bank to use on my album. Or that's how I justified it to myself. :red: :red:
It's going to make me famous! :-P %-P :P

Thanks KK. Take heart. Remember the old saying: Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies! :cheese:
Complaints are like balloons - the more you puff, the bigger they get.
Hey Troutface, you want to talk expensive hobbies? I do auto racing. Specifically Vintage Auto Racing. Never mind the "capital equipment" cost of having such a car in the first place, there's always something to buy or fix. Two years ago, I had to get a new set of tires. These are special reproduction vintage racing tires I'm required to use. $1900 for a set of 4. Ouch! This year, I had to get a head and neck restraint system to keep up with the latest safety regs. I got a deal at $450, but the thing will need recertification a year sooner 'cause it's last years model. I also had to put new harnesses in the car as they were expired, $100. I signed up for a real spectator event taking place in May. There goes $600 for the entry fee. The hotels all jacked up their rates 2x, so the hotel will cost me another $600 for 3 nites.

Now all the PA's know why I'm such a cheapskate when it comes to Daz content...
Ha, if I had that kind of money.. I wouldn't spend it on that! :ahhh: But hey, everyone has their favorite hole to throw money into.
At least your hobby is interesting and unusual.
Kick-butt car, by the way - looks cool! :coolsmile:
I'll stick to music...
;-)
Welcome back, Frank. Hope everything went well. I'll have a couple or 5 of your poppers, please.
$600 for three nights at a hotel is kinda expensive. Wow.
