    It could well be hiding somewhere near my mojo,  which also seems to be missing lately.

    Can't you make more?

    As much as I try I can't find any male models on the store I like. They all look like jerks.

    Of course if I buy dudes then I'll have to buy clothes for them.

    And then they'll want a car.

    And sports stuff.

    And they'll get my female models into trouble and cause drama.

    Maybe I should just stick to using the free guys...

    It is probably hiding with my motivation that my writer’s block hid it.

    I keep looking for it but all I can find is a lot of left over apathy and some photos of my RBF.

    Crap, I am expecting a USPS package on Monday.  It cannot be canceled.  I probably will get into trouble but there is nothing I can do right now.

     

    might be worth the de-stress to rend a p.o. box.  if you can get to the post office.  it's not expensive.
    for usps mail only.  ups can't deliver to p.o. box.

    so tilly

    need to get the last order number and increment by 1

    order numbers look like this    NYC19-048

    tried simple groupby query

    tried dmax lookup

     

    I assume the first part is referring to a company/customer code?  If all you need to increment is the value after the dash, set up variables to capture the left part, and the right part seperately.  Then convert the right part to int, add 1, and set the variable for that part = the int.  I'm not sure, does Access do implicit conversion of int to string value?

    You will need a little function or a stored proceedure to do this, and return the final result.

    Dana

    it can convert strings.

    could use the oncurrent event 

    could do a public function.  needs the 000 format. 

    FedEx, though, will. It's a deal they worked out with USPS.
    Amazon won't let you order with an undeliverable address, but Newegg will. Then it gets returned to the shipper. A real pain.

    Pick a teen and make him grow up. They're not nearly as jerkish.

    Did anyone else see a glimpse of a purple cat?

    Is that a euphemism?... if so... um... maybe.

    Eh, no. But I'm sure it will be back so everyone can see it, perhaps tomorrow.

    Was it a product that showed up in the store? A celestial event? A render? A persistent vision that occurs when stressed or exposed to loud noises? Is it available in other colors? What is your relationship with said purple cat and how are you so sure of it’s return?… Sorry... This is very mysterious.

    Then you would have to get particular morphs for the women (pregnancy morphs) so you would also need the babies.

    Wait, I thought the cat was in a box... or was that Schroeder’s cat... no... Schroeder’s cat was in a piano... I was thinking of Schrodinger’s wife’s penguin who we all know was famously stuffed into a box which Shrodinger mailed back to his ex-wife after the divorce, but was dead by the time she opened it, thanks to the lack of air holes and UPS accidentally routing it through Outer Mongolia. Can’t be Cat-In-Bucket, because they closed in 86’ thanks to the thing with the mad cat disease and animal rights activists getting all crazy about the “Krispy Cajun Kitty nuggets”... They really weren’t half bad once you got past the fur clumps... 

    Well, in a box, bag or bucket... this is an interesting development.

    I thought it was just my poor rendering skills that the baby was rendering like Chucky or Bride of Chucky dolls.

    I think if I heard correctly adopting a teen is good but trying to intergrate the teen into the family can be an issue.

    I am watching Aquaman.  Hopefully this time to finish it.  Aquaman is so hot.  Why do super hero males have to be so hot?

    True Arthur Curry is so much hotter than Ken what's his name!

    Edit: I am half way through the movie, but it seems that it is too much of a movie left for this part to go well.

    Looks like another time that I cannot finish a movie because I am not allowed to watch my own tv apparently.  I am so frustrated.  I want a snack since I did not have dinner but I am afraid that would be bad.

    Complaint:  I jumped the gun. frown  I have a 10 year old Sony Blu-Ray "Smart" DVD player that has the Amazon PrimeVideo app built-in so that when I actually started subscribing to PrimeVideo for my main TV downstairs I discovered that I could also view its programs without Amazon's FireTV Stick gizmo on my bedroom TV.cool  Yay for me!  However, that DVD player is attached to my old, small, non-smart, flat TV up in my bedroom because it's the only way I can get streaming video into that TV (I don't have TV-cable, and can't run a wired LAN connection, so I have to use WiFi).  Downstairs in my office/livingroomI have my big TV and an actual FireTV Stick device. (Love my PrimeVideoheart)  Unfortunately, running the TV upstairs is a pain in the axx because it involves two remotes, and a persnickity external wireless-to-LAN converter gizmo and often requires multiple powercycles to get the TV, DVD, and Wireless gizmo to all function properly at the same time.frown  So, in my wisdom I decided to bite the bullet and spring for another FireTV device.  It would just plug into the HDMI port directly on the TV and would bypass the wireless gizmo, DVD and the 3rd-party, non-standard, PrimeVideo app. Yay for simplicity!yes  So, yesterday I ordered the FireTV Stick and it will arrive today.(AmazonPrime delivery service rocks!smiley)  BUT, last night I got an email from Amazon informing me that effective in September they will be discontinuing compatability with the PrimeVideo app on my registered old Sony Blu-Ray DVD machine because Sony doesn't update the on-board apps anymore and changes to the PrimeVideo stream protocol will break the app on those old devices.surprise  However, in recognition of my dilemma they are offering me a $25 dollar discount on the purchase of a FireTV Stick ($40 - $25 = smiley)  But, but, but... I've already bought a new FireTV Stick, YESTERDAY!angry  AND I used up $28 in Prime Points credit that took me a year to accumulate, AND the FireTV Stick discount coupon is not applicable to other products!  Grrrrcrying

    I'm considering returning the Stick I will receive today, and ordering a new one and applying the discount coupon but I'm not sure they'll give me back my AmazonPoints. 

    Bah, humbug!  Bad timing.  For the want of 24 hours I squandered $25. sad  Buying things with store discounts, coupons, buy this to get that, and all the other modern complex schemes makes one long for simpler days.  But, at least being 70, I have had the opportunity to experience simpler days (or at least I remember them as being simpler).indecision

    I rather not use the UK version of Google for some reason.  I think it is a bar of some kind.  Ooh I used bing and found out that was it.

     

    I want to make up an animal for my stories that can be kept as pets but the word they tend to use is Meow.  Oh wait, let me check the store as I think there is the perfect Meow there now.

    They must have a customer service number you can call.  Discuss this with them, tell them of the bad timing.  They'll probably work it out for you.

    Simply "flattening" morphed clothing doesn't work. Dforce might help, or there's this product in the DAZ store: https://www.daz3d.com/messy-laundry-mega-set

    On another note, I can't help but think that you and McGyver share an ancestor somewhen. wink I enjoy you both.

    I've been experimenting with Dforce this morning. Some results were pretty good. Messy Laundry Mega Set will have to wait until it comes on sale or I find a job to actually support my dazzing habits. I'm avoiding looking to see how much I've spent so far. Hehehe... Hehehehehe.... Ehhhh... I have a phone interview tomorrow so let us hope I convince them I'm their gal!

    I'm just obnoxious and come from a long line of obnoxious. As for McGyver... I can neither confirm nor deny any shared ancesotry. Unless of course it gets me in a will for large sums of cash... or real estate... I guess I'd accept that too.

    You don't look like a demon... hmmm
