    i luv buttercream cake frosting, need a 'lower' sugar recipe  angel dont know how else to make the frosting stay on the cake.  

    Try jam.  My mum used to use it for solid icing but I don't know if it will work with buttercream.  Funny you mention cakes, I was just going to complain about cake mix.  What is the point of cake mix?  Either make the cake properly or buy one, don't mix cake mix with water then claim you baked a cake.  That is just dishonest!

     

    i dont trust ingredients i cant pronounce.

    bread ingredients too.

    Hope you do not go to Czech Republic and go grocery shopping.  That is assuming you cannot pronounce Czech words?

    Czech words, is that similar to crosswords? indecision

    No clue but I have been to Czech Republic but that was maybe twenty years ago.  Has it really been 20 years since I have been to Europe?

    ...was in Prague in the 70s really. spoiled me when it comes to beer. Czech Pilsners are considered some of the finest beers in the world.

    I do not want to do my homework.  I do not want to take a shower right now.  I do not want to write my book right now either.  I do not want to clean my aquarium today.  I do not want to go to the bathroom (to brush my teeth).  I do not want to post this post, but something has to happen.  But the real question is what do I want to do right now?  other than list everything that I do not want to do.

    No body will do my homework for me.  I rather not stink nor do I want someone give me a bath (like they would with a cat).  I am the only one who can write my book.  The goldfish will not do anything to help clean the aquarium.   I cannot brush my teeth without getting my tooth brush which is in the bathroom.   I am already written too much of this not to post it.

    Possibly, however according Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity it all depends on how fast one is travelling in relation to you and Europe. indecision  There could be some alien out there cruising along near the speed of light that might report that it's only been a few minutes. surprise

    Note:  It's true but don't try figuring it out, it bruises your brain.

    My daughter's fire and the arrival of 6 kittens  4 weeks ago keep me occupied.  I have temporary custody of her dog too.

    I'm glad everyone was safe!

    ...yeah, picked up a couple last minute items.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    i want to try saving a genesis 8 subdivided mesh as a 'base' character, to see how it looks and behaves in carrara.

    saving as a product doesnt make the subd as 'base'  sigh

    level of effort is just silly now.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    mann.  floop

    what are the professional vides editing softwares?

    anything that ways will upload my videos to utoob, is a suspected not-professional 

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    could final cut pro run on a mini mac?  Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i5 (2.6GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - White

    says hdmi out.  4 usb, can use regular usb mouse/keyboard?

    don't understand what thunderbold is

    seeing an openbox mini mac at bestbuy about 600.  the finalcut s/w is another 300.

     

    i can't stand the Sony movie.  >.< working too hard for blurry results.
    matching up audio with video is a nightmare.

    yanno ... it's not possible to do all the character voices in my movie.  the morph vox isn't that fantastic.  and i'm no mel blancs

    need to find a compromise between character dialog and narrating.

    can take the girl out of brooklyn, but realistically, can't the brooklyn accent out of the girl. not for whole conversations.

    ...that is pretty cool.  In normal life it happens so fast one doesn't get the impression of how much air is being forced downward to lift them with that massive wing area vs body weight.

    Finally saw my first flutterbys of the year during our last warm spell.   Back to the 70s starting tomorrow.

    Complaint:  Meh... iTunes & Paypal frown  I haven't used my iTunes account in well over a year but today I found something there for $4 that I can't get elsewhere for less than $28 but my credit card details expired at iTunes so I decided to switch to PayPal but now when trying to login to PayPal via iTunes it wants to run some sort of plugin but fails each time.sad  Mumble, grumble.  angry I'm trying to switch most of my on-line purchases to PayPal where possible.  It usually works, but iTunes tends to frustrate me everytime I use it (which is why I haven't used it in well over a year).  Bah, humbug!   Is it punishment for not using a Macintosh computer?
