    Complaint: I barely have swimwear for my girls that's suitable for anyone under 15. There's only one single once-piece swimsuit set in my collection, and it's a G1/G2 freebie with a wonky neckline. I'm not the kind of pixel-mom who let my 8-year-olds wear bikinis. Right now they're out swimming in underwear shadered to look like bathing suit materials. Off to the store I go...

    I remember the first time I tried to wear a bikini. My mom just kind of gapped and then sent me to my room. I think I was 12 at the time. It was then that I learned the art of sneaking.

    Thank fully, my gals are all adults.

    My Mom actually bought me my first bikini when I was 9. It was too large (of course?), and kept slipping up on my chest, so I was never allowed to actually wear it for swimming. crying I still remember it was orange, though.

  • i refused to learn how to swim so she refused to get me a swimsuit. i wanted it so i could lay out in the backyard and am pretty sure i borrowed that from one of my friend's. i can't remember if it was too small or too big now.

    i still don't know how to swim but i have several bikinis. mostly i wear them around the house or to sit in a hot tub (though i don't have a hot tub). sometimes i'll shuffle around in the shallow end of a pool... i'msure i look cool and sophisticated then.

    I love swimming. Mom always joked that I should have been born as a fish, but ended up in the wrong species. (I've told people before that it certainly explains my attention span..!) The main reason I wanted a bikini was because my friend had one. Hers was literally yellow polka-dot... and kept slipping up.

  • I'm not a fan of yellow but I'm sure I have a suit that is yellow. I did have one with polka-dots at some point. But yeah, the whole concept of laying out was picked up from others.

  • 8 hours in... 58% convergence... angry indecision Working on a close up of the attached... The little moat was a fail...

    Also... Gimp is not making me happy... it does not work like I remember... or maybe it doesn't work like my old version of PS. Took me forever to figure out how to fix a couple seams.

    Grumble Grumble...

    ...i have several bikinis. mostly i wear them around the house or to sit in a hot tub (though i don't have a hot tub).

    I picture random neighbors staring out their back window into the snowy yard... ”Aye... Margaret... Get the broom... that girl with the bikini is sitting in our empty hot tub again!”

    I don’t really enjoy hot tubs... Especially public or community ones... it’s the “People Broth” that I can do without.  I prefer to swim either in the ocean... where the fishes, lobsters, clams and octopuses poop... or in a pool where the chlorine has nullified the ambient pee content.

    Whirlpool spas... or whatever those big bathtubs with water jets and heaters are called, that’s ok... then it’s my own broth and I don’t have to share with anyone, and I can just drain it out when I’m done.

    Yuck. I have only been in a couple private ones. I would not go into a public one. I think that is one of the reasons I didn't learn to swim. Public pools.

    Well this just gave me a terrible idea for a story where an elderly couple run a bed and breakfast. They just happen to be cannibals and people who pass out in the jacuzzi become dinner. They have a holiday special... because that is when the whole family is in town. Lots of mouths to feed.

    Why is it in this day and age when we can send a man to the moon, which is apparently part of mars, can people still run out of salsa?

    Why isn’t there a public salsa utility... why do we not have a third tap in the kitchen that dispenses fresh chunky salsa?

    I’m sure someone out there is eager to point out that not everyone enjoys salsa...

    Well, the same can be said for water... Go out in public and take a deep sniff in a crowd. Unless your nosebuds are dead, you’ll have to agree, most of those bodies haven’t touched water in quite a while... and as far as consumption, most people drink bottled water these days. Tap water is either deadly, flammable or just not stylish.

    I’m still trying to figure out how we’ll get the chips... maybe by drone or missiles... I’m open to there being “Chipmen”, like old fashioned “Milkmen”, but Chipman sounds too much like “Chipmunk”...  

    Chipmen is probably sexist, but “Chipwomen” sounds weird and “Chip-people” sounds like some sort of mutant human-chipmunk hybrid... But then again, if you hired only monks to deliver the chips, they could be “Chipmonks”... they could even wear cute chipmunk costumes and drive chipmunk shaped delivery vans... I’m drawing the line at them carrying the chips in their cheek pouches. But chip delivering monks wearing chipmunk costumes is a great idea.

    mentions of hot tubs always reminds me of the coach episode, old tv series with craig nelson

    he finds out he's infertile the doctor tells him about hot tubs and boiled, ... nm  its hard to forget

    when the salsa tapped out, nothing to do but order pizza

    I'm noticing a trend here. It seems you're a) running multiple renders simultaneously, and/or, creating another image while one renders. Doing that means you have multiple computers or have D|S open multiple times. If the latter is true, that explains the poor performance. On my poor old system I can a) create - and potentially do other computer activities, or b) render - and go do dishes, sleep, go shopping. Were I to open D|S twice my computer would beat me senseless with the monitor cable (monitor still attached).

    remind me not to use dForce again. it takes too long...

    or i'm doing something wrong...

    or both...

    i think i got some of the soy and wasabi seasoning from my soy and wasabi almonds up in my nose.

    not intentionally...

    well technically putting an almond in my nose might be considered intention. but do i look like the kind of woman who would do that?

    EDIT: Update. dForce failed. I'd post a pic but there are body parts hanging out now... not sure what went wrong.

    I run on separate computers. I'm just impatient and like to complain. :) Usually, I'll write, job hunt, binge watch TB shows, engage in adult behavior, add stuff to my wishlist on daz or amazon, fantasize about having a patreon that magically replentishes my bank account, play games, read, exercise, do laundry, think about cleaning (i'm not a very good housewife), go for a walk, go for a run, visit family, netflix and chill with my friends, check my updates on several websites, take a nap, and so forth. :)

    If I ever find a job then I'll complain that I don't have time for anything! cheeky

    I never thought about opening it twice on the same computer... I'm pretty sure there would be an instant activation of Skynet if I did. I don't want that kind of responsibility.

    You calling me a chip monk??? *crunch*crunch*crunch*

     

    Complaint Watch: I'm excited to see how this next render goes. Which ever one of you made me buy those bodychains yesterday will be responsible for any complaining about the results or how long it takes to render. Follow-up: 6 minutes in and it is looking pretty awesome.

    Complaint Watch 2: Unfortunately I won't be able to show you the results here because... boobs.

    I mean the model's... not mine.
