    Please keep your nightmare tales.  The only parts of LOTR that I had to close my eyes and plug my ears during were the spider scenes. frown

    I first thought you said you have to move fast for an ultrasound tomorrow.  So fast as in not eat, not fast as in quick?

    A little arachnophobia anyone?

    Its giant spider season... I had to relocate this lovely young lady from the door of one of my storage carts...

    This is a different spider who has decided to take up residence between a tiki torch and my grill... She's been served notice, that she has until Saturday to relocate... I figured I'd get a nice shot of her mandibles...

    Complaint: Spider photography is unnecessarily difficult on the iPhone... I'm sure everyone has noticed that, but even with a close up lens attachment, it's so dang awkward to hold and get in close enough to get good details. It just keeps trying to do its own thing... Shutting off, focusing on something in the background, changing to video... Megh... And spiders are busy folks... They don't like waiting around for you to take photos of them.

    Anyway... While I removed the first spider she was crawling up and down my arm as I transported her to a nearby table... She was big enough that you could feel the little hooks in her foot pads... If you've ever handled a tarantula you know what I mean.

    Now my arm is covered in spider silk... The thick kind at least. Not that low quality invisible stuff... This is the kind of silk you can actually hear as you pull it off.

    When I was done taking stuff out of the cart I returned her to her lair... I figure she is safer there and she can eat any bugs that try to defile the wood.

    If you wish to marvel at the details of these fine arachnids, the "An OT Thread for images" in the Art Studio section has the full sized pix if click on them... These have been resized to 650 pixels wide... The others are 2800 or something.

    In case you like spiders or want to have all the details right in you nightmares... Nobody like inaccurate nightmares.

    So, those extra lens attachments work fairly well, then.  Nice work.

    The Halloween Treat Bowls are Empty Complaint Thread

    Halloween candy is on sale in September complaint.  Halloween is at the end of October so why buy Halloween candy now, especially ones you like if you plan to give them out.  They will not last till Halloween at this rate.

    ...was in one of the local stores last Saturday and they're already putting yule lights and decorations on the shelves.

    Christmas decorations, collectibles, have shown up in today's email ad from Michael's!  It's only September, damnit!

    Michael’s is a craft store which sort of make sense, at least more sense than Halloween candy in September.  It might take time to make something for Christmas and be ready in time.  Especially an elderly Grandma or grandpa.

  • I am trying to load Daz Studio 4.10 on an old Lenovo notebook.  Why because my hp is being shipped to hp to get looked at as it was having intermittent heating issues and intermittent touchscreen issues.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,847

    ...always seemed to have overheating issues with HP notebooks.

    It was not too bad but wanted it to get looked at for free while I had a chance

    ..not a bad idea.  One I had cooked itself to death when the fan died after the warranty expired.

    Complaint:  CVS Drug Stores around here seem to have various candies on sale all year long. (Hmmm..., reflects on how I would know?)  I constantly complain that it should be against the law to have sales on candy (and ice cream) it makes them too tempting a deal to pass up. sad  And both of them are on my verbotten list. crying

    I got that at Five Below... It's a five dollar and below store... Mostly five dollars.

    I got one at Dollar Tree, but it was for the mounting clamp, I used it to mount a super close up lens from some machine I cannibalized for parts, but it turns out the dollar lens weren't that horrible.

  • Non-complaint: I've been enjoying my switch to "FireTV Stick" device for my source of on-line TV.  The apps for NetFlix and YouTube are more user friendly than the ones on my Panasonic smartTV.  And despite the YouTube app not letting me login to my YouTube account and keep a personalized history of what I've watched, it does let me skip forward and backwards in the shows, which I couldn't to before.

    I had a laptop that ran hot so I got smart and bought a fan platform that you could sit the laptop on.  It used a USB plug to power the fans that I plugged into the laptop.  The laptop's power supply couldn't handle it.  It completely fried my laptop. angry

  • Somebody messed up my amazon order.  The payment was pre-authorized and ready to go, but someone decided to change shipping speed which broke the pre-authorization and there is not enough funds left for the order to go through.

    Ten Signs you are approaching senility.

    1- You are reading this.

    2- Everyone seems younger than you and you don't like it because young people are lazy, don't know the value of a nickel and can move around unassisted.

    5- Regardless of whether you have a lawn or not, you feel the need to shout at kids to get off it.

    7- More than 40% of your sentences begin with "Back in my day..."

    3- Gravity is really starting to piss you off.

    6- You clearly remember things that never happened and can't remember things that did.

    8- People keep telling you that you are repeating yourself.

    4- Simple tasks like numbering stuff is becoming difficult.

    8- People keep telling you that you are repeating yourself.

    9- Simple sentences are becoming more difficult to put together and you find that you tend to forget about why you started speaking in the first place, mostly it happens when you don't get a nap, but sometimes you find that the possibility of the Planet of the Apes becoming reality is starting to get depressing more real every day... Not the CGI one, the good one where the monkey actors wore latex suits and had British accents... Or maybe that was Mutiny On The Bounty... I personally prefer Brawny because I know the value of a nickel, but in my day we didn't use paper towels, we used raccoon pelts to sop up the mud because the goats.... Zzzzzzzz....

    10-

    I once carved an elderly grandma out of wood... Back in my day everything was made out of wood and you didn't need a craft store because you'd just go out back and if the wolves didn't get you, you'd take an axe and cut down a tree and carve yourself a friend or grandparent... Unless it was Thursday... Back then we called Thursday "Whompingday" because that's the day the raccoons would come out and everyone would whomp them with sticks they got out back... We used wood to make everything back then, except for the raccoon pelts which we used to sop up the mud from the goats... I think I once carved an elderly grandma out of wood or was that a grandpa... I carved something out of wood... You can carve frozen raccoons if it's cold enough...

    Wheres my pudding?

    Someone took my pudding!

    The RR RR RRR Complaint Thread

    if the rooster wasnt so adorable. it would be annoying
    is way after sunrise, cant imagine what he's crowing about
    rr rrr rrrr almost sounds like he complaining 'no respect, '

  • Reanimated complaint: A week or so ago I complained that the road crew was repaving the street in front of my house and the smell was sickening.  Well, it was partly true.  After a couple weeks of the road being ground down to tire shredding roughness, the smell I smelled back then was just a preparation crew manually dripping hot tar into the major cracks in the road base.  Now after nearly another two weeks of shreding my tires, this morning they're finally actually laying down new asphalt.  Big machine coming through at about a half a mile an hour laying a picture perfect couple of inches of new surface material and the thick cloud of fumes from that are making my eyes water. crying  Every once in a while a dumptruck of hot asphalt backs up to the front of the paving machine, lifts its dumper and dumps the load into the hopper of the pavement machine that never stops and just pushes the dumptruck ahead of it while the hopper fills.  But it stinks to high heaven. frown
