    With all the concern over drones that could potentially carry explosives, I'm not sure that flying automobiles with dubiously sane drivers is a good idea. Flying automobiles is an idea that should wait until the human race evolves past the stupid stage. :coolgrin:

    Full moon tonight , the sky swept clear by storm winds - there are moon shadows soft-edged as velvet diffused with subtle white so they seem half transparent in the dark. I imagine a fresnel effect of some kind maybe (over) driving a specular channel with an angle to camera input might kinda give up a similar effect ? Seems like a cheat, oh wait... :lol:

    When I was young, in Fall River, MA, we used to say that some people got their license from S&H Green Stamps! :lol:

    speaking about doctors, I should change my specialist doctor because his office is only open twice a month. The only reason that I continue to see him is that he waives the $1,400 fee for his visits because I am unemployed and I don't receive any benefits. I can't wait to see him this month. Maybe he'll figure out if my condition has worsen. I need to have the MRI done first.

    edit: I just reread the bill. The real total is $2,600. So, how is the balance due reduced to 1,400 before it is further reduced to 0??

    Oh, well, good luck. I hope things turn around for you. It sounds like the suggested price, then the price that the average insurance company will accept. They usually have agreements with doctors on how much they can charge for a procedure/service. That's what they will pay the doctor, minus any co-pay the patient may have on their policy.

    IIRC, you could highlight the "handles" in the Scene pane and click on the "eye" so it closed. ;-)

    They are probably somewhere in the hierarchy of the dress.
    Why are you using Nyquil in the daytime? %-P

    They may have names like left skirt right skirt etc.

    It has been a while since I have seen a dress or skirt with handles.

    That's the odd thing, I installed the DS-specific version of this and I saw handles.. really weird. Not sure if DS did something wrong on loading.

    I found out if I hide the parts of the skirt that have handles, the handles vanish.. but even at the deepest level, there's no individual handle entry. Urgh.

    I emailed the vendor, we'll see if I'm just stupid or not.

    ps. using Nyquil to sleep, I heal faster when I sleep a lot! :cheese:
