    I ordered purple paint either this morning or last night.  Cannot remember which.  I called the company this afternoon to cancel the order to use the funds on something more useful than just purple paint. They assured me up and down that the order has been canceled and within two hours I can place another order from then.

    i checked their site and I still see the purple paint order being active and also the canvas board order I tried to cancel because I forgot to realizr that 5” by 7” is not very big.  Despite being reassured that both orders are canceled, they are still showing as active.

    now it seems that I can paint tiny paintings with purple paint but I want some tools to help me sculpt the clay I also ordered.

    I talked with that company and was able to get the sculpting tools I wanted without canceling the purple paint order.   Now that is cool.  

     

    Right now I am trying to upgade to 10 again.   Right now with 7, but I need to clean the bathroom.  o_0

    I noticed that I had no true purple paint in my collection when I wanted to paint the purple hair character in my signature.  I had to mix the colours to get the hair.  I also mixed the colours for the skin.

    Complaint-o-the-day:  My driveway is covered in wet ice!  But temperatures are in the 40Fs overnight so maybe by mid-morning I can safely get to my car, get it down the driveway, do my Tuesday uptown chores, have a mini-adventure lunch and get back up the driveway before the freezing rain comes in early afternoon. frown

    My driveway  is covered in mud and the mud has mud.  My question is why will my landlady not do anything abou it.

    Did an experiment - crispy skin picante chicken.  The skin crisped up perfect in the air fryer, w00t!  So tasty baked in salsa, yum!

    Going to get up before Noon tomorrow, slowly push myself back to normal hours now that I feel more or less normal.  Feh. :-|

    I'd prefer to night owl it, but I need to have relatively normal hours to talk to lawyers, disability folks, and sell my music gear.  Nobody wants to come check ot my gear at midnight!!!

    Plus, I need to set up a website so I can sell my mind for money on Freelancer.com - see if I can't scrounge up some remote work. :-|

    Mmmmm, Sleepytime tea!

    Today's Amazing Race gross-out: eating frog fallopian tubes in China.  Never seen so many people puking in my entire life.  Bizarre Foods has nothing on this.

    I expect fried scorpions next... uuuuurrrrrrppppp.. just saved money on dinner, so not gungry now. :=|

    Amazing Race Asia had a segment in China where teams had to hurry through 'stinky tofu'.  Most teams had problems with it, but Team Hong Kong just chowed down and blazed through the task.  One of them looks at the camera and says, 'Hey, we're Chinese; we eat everything!'

    Um..., isn't that supposed to be "How much wood, would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood?"    Whew, it's harder to type it than say it. frown

    Almost as much fun to say as "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mairzy_Doats

    Complaint:  It's raining ice from the sky!  frown

    Non-complaint:  I was aware of the forecast and moved my butt into high gear and accomplished all my uptown tasks, had my mini-adventure texas-hot lunch at "Johnny's", got my grocery shopping done and got parked back behind the house before the icefall began. yes  Getting trash into the car and getting groceries out of the car was difficult because of the patches of ice still in the ruts of the driveway.  However, I fared better than the old guy I saw at our local post office this morning.  He'd apparently fallen on ice, broken his glasses and was dripping blood all over the post office lobby.  Post mistress & patrons were already taking care of him when I arrived.  Then a family member arrived to take over and drive him home (or wherever).

    Yes, Yiddish is not Hebrew.  And there are (were) two dialects of Hebrew, Ashkenazic and Sephardic, pronuned differently.  Hebrew is an interesting language, I had an ex-rabbi try to teach me when I was 38! That was right in the middle of mt comparative religion study.. need to get back to it now that I'm older and less wise.

    Question of the night: Why, when people read ALOUD that they're supposd to travel on foot to a destination, do they immediately run to a taxi, thus incurring a 30 minute penalty for violating a rule they read out loud?  And both partners said'taxi' at the same time!!  It cost them first place and a huge prize.

    Dimwits. :-|

    I watch this program to reassure myself that I'm not the biggest idiot in the world. :-O

    Stupid Statement of the Episode Award: two CLA grads measuring the length in miles of Mallegans travels on a clearly marked giant map.  When trying to figure out how he got past South America, Mr. Genius states 'He tok the Panama Canal' and totally mis-measured.  One of the onlookers finally yelled that there was no Panama Canal in Megellans time, and the grads finnay did it right.

    So much for my respect for UCLA... honestly, Panama Canal?  Did Columbus dig it or something?!?!?!?

    The world is full of idiots!  I used to tell my friend this all the time.  Eventually, he saw enough to realize I was right!  You, my friend, should know this already!  You are no idiot!

    My take on college students: (this is a generalization , of course)

    Those who are there on their own dime, are there to learn.

    Those who are there on daddy's dime (again, generally speaking), are there to party.  It's the partying type who tend to get on things like amazing race, methinks.

    ..speaking of idiots.  While heading home from my Tuesday RPG session, a friend and I were just past midway crossing a street with the light when this moutbreather behind the wheel who appeared to be waiting to let us cross, decided suddenly to make a left turn right then and there nearly hitting the both of us. I had to jump back while me fried dashed forward  to avoid being struck by his front bumper. I then in a rather annoyed tone scolded him about the fact that pedestrians with the green light have the right of way.   He stopped and mumbled something unintelligible to which I simply said "what a dumbass" loud enough to be heard after we made it to the other side and kept walking.

    There are times I just refuse to put up with careless and impatient driving and this was one of them.

    Looks like I need to write those cereal companies again and tell them to stop giving away free drivers' licences in every specially marked boxes.
