can ya smell it cooking?
put whole tsp of vanilla
I pull into a gas station today. It has a Dunkin' Donuts inside the station. Lots of cars in front of the pumps, so I wait behind a guy filling an SUV and two plastic jugs. He can't figure out how to use his card to pay. So I wait. And wait. And suddenly I notice the cars in front of the other pumps aren't moving. Hmm, maybe the pumps are out of order and the owner blocks them with his car. And then I notice that 3 of the cars are empty, and nobody around filling their cars. In the line next to me a grandma waiting behind a pickup. And suddenly a couple young guys come out of the station with groceries and get into the pickup. She'd been waiting maybe 5 minutes.
Huh?
Turns out people are parking in front of the pumps and going into Dunkin' and having breakfast. Even though there is a separate parking area 20 feet from the pumps with a bunch of empty slots.
I'll leave it at that.
Complaint: I'm watching an on-line auction of things that I collect. Most (98%) of the items in the catalog are WAY out of my league but they are wonderful things that I feel privileged to even see in photos.
I just watched a collection of 12 hardstone carvings of white jade Chinese zodiac animals start at $18,000 and finally get sold for $32,500 
looks like you out having fun
Wow! Those colors on your tatoos are so bright! Very nice!
I bet you are at starbucks!
OK, mini-adventure for the day is over. I went to the Ellington Town Picnic and stood in line for BBQ chicken. I was in line with 20 people ahead of me (I hate lines) standing in the sun for 20 minutes, then they opened the door and we could mercifully get into the building out of the sun and stood for another 30 minutes as the team of four "highly-trained" servers took on the impossibly difficult task of pulling BBQ'd chicken out of the box, putting it on a foam plate, chucking in a spoon of potato salad, and baked beans into their respective compartments, dropping a cold bread roll on top and tossing in a pat of butter. I measured the throughput of the line. Until the servers finally got up to speed, on average, it took about two minutes for each person to go through once they reached the window.
My legs give out after 10 minutes of standing so I was in misery and getting snarly. Thus this report. 
But once I'd eaten my potato salad and beans and bread roll I closed up my foam box and stuck the uneaten chicken half into my car while I toddled off painfully to the array of food, game and trinket booths. There I picked up another traditional American eatable, a hot dog with ketsup, mustard, and pickle relish and onion. Mmmm. Yum. I think next year I'll skip the BBQ chicken and just go for the hot dog. I did see some wonderful looking slices of berry pies but the concentrated sugar scared me off.
I missed the wood chopping contest, but I did see someone sticking nickles & dimes into the sawdust for the kid's "Find the coins in the sawdust pile" game. I donated a US dollar coin for the pile. Some lucky kid is going to get a surprise. 
Then I drove to the next town west (Gerry, NY) and saw the grounds for the Gerry Rodeo. I wanted to stop but it was too hot and my legs had already been abused too much today. So I continued on to Jamestown and deliberately drove past the new National Comedy Center and peeked at the preparations for tonights grand opening event.
All in all not a bad mini-adventure... and I have BBQ chicken for dinner tonight!
Yes and no. I am at a mall but my money is at home. Well other than the funds on my Starbucks card which can be accessed by my iPhone.
Sort of. I was and am in the food court of a mall. The Starbucks at this mall does not have a seating area. I did get some Starbucks though, a refresher drink and a breakfast sandwich. That was this morning. After work, I got some free Bistro Chicken sandwich and fries from Charley’s.
I do not want to go home as I am afraid the staff at home will want me to clean the kitchen. I want to dry off from washing dishes and serving trays. For some reason I get wet when I do dishes. My guess it has something to do with the fact my arms are not very long. I do not look like a T-Rex but I also do not have long arms. I am petite which is why my arms are short, but still look natural length.
Oh I want to go home though so I can finish watching reck it Ralph. I think it is a bit less than two hours long which means about a little over half way done with it.
Also my laptop’s battery is dead and the charger is at home. I should have realized that I had no charger with me before doing iray renders. I used the computer between around ten to almost noon, give or take, which is about two hours of battery usage. I am afraid no laptop battery will last forever without charging when playing with iray.
stopped raining.
wanna go for a walk to show off my new flutterby tattoos
i'd have to wear my sting bikini bottoms to show them all, isnt really appropriate for not walking at the beach. if i walk to the sputinos, could eat some chicken tenders in honey mustard dip. dunno if is worth 2 mile walk. always starts to hurt after 1/2 mile. dont know why it hurts, nueropathy should be good for somethin as in not feeling pain. is a paradox, or pqradiddle or a parallax
Has anybody started creating Wakanda for Daz yet?!
Not sure but it would have a different name. For some reason Wakanda cannot be used but something similar would be cool.
Non-Complaint: Well, I resolved the question of whether I would take advantage of the $45 upgrade price to Carrara8.5Pro. I found something at that on-line auction that I'd really really wanted for decades. I set myself a finite budget. I watched the auction go through item after item that all had $$$$ starting prices on them.
But finally my item came up. I hovered over my "bid" button like a hawk, and it was heated bidding for about 30 seconds, but the other guy chickened out right after I'd bid my final bid at my absolute budget limit. 
So, I won't be upgrading to Carrara8.5Pro. 
However, not a big deal since I haven't used Carrara to any extent in over a decade anyway. But I have kept current with the versions until now.
So, what was it that sucked all my money away from Carrara? This: A 9 inch tall bronze Shiva "dance of life" or "dance of the universe" statue. I've seen them in shops rarely but always with high $$$ or $$$$ price tags. The one in today's auction had a minimum bid in the high $$ range. I've passed up a few of them in on-line auctions over the last year or so, and even today I went over my usual budget a bit into the low $$$ range but I finally can cross off another thing from my bucket list.
Had to dip onto savings again but I'm calling this is my birthday or Christmas present for this year. Happy happy, joy, joy! 
I normally collect animals, as bronze casts or hardstone carvings. But I also have a collection of ancient or religious bronze art statues so this fits right in and satisfactorily completes my collection. (for now)
DIM does not want to work tonight and I have to go to bed soon.
ty
tattoo artist took pics of it, dunno if they'll put it on the walls to show with the skulls and hell type pics of tattoo arts lol
tee hee
I wasn't going to, but I just watched that whole video!
Dana
too many threads about complains !
..actually, not enough.
...congratulations, Looks really nice.
Thanks, yeah, it does.
Good design, good craftsmanship, weathered, just oozes that touchable bronze look. And the symbology is not wasted on me either.
Complaint: Oh, my aching back.
My mini-adventures are becoming harder and harder on this crappy old(ish) body. 
I haven't been right since my trip to the Renaissance Faire. All that tramping up and down hills. 
Lol
I had a dream that I moved into an apartment but it was bigger on the inside than the outside. 0.o. It had so many rooms and kitchens. I did not stay asleep long enough to see if it had an indoor pool.
DIM still no wanna work.
My complaint of the day:
Anyone else remember when the word "awesome" meant something that instilled awe, something amazing and incredible, made your jaw drop and your heart pound? Like the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. Awesome. And the word "perfect" meant something that was virtually unattainable, but people were always striving for.
Today everything is awesome and perfect. Everything. And to me it's kinda sad. It's like we've lowered the bar just so that everyone can feel good about themselves or something. There's no longer a need to strive for perfection if everything is perfect.
And what's even stranger is (and some of us might remember this...) much of this started back in the 80's in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, with the "Valley Girl" phenomenon. That's where "OMG, I'm, like", whatever!!" way of speaking started, and surprisingly it's now all over the world. And does anyone remember the Frank Zappa song "Valley Girl"?
OMG, I'm, like, that's totally awesome!!.
Lowering the bar is what homogenization does. It's the LCD* effect.
Alternatively one could argue that unchecked differentiation also lowers the bar and establishes an LCD effect too.
But in defense of the the Valley Girl ...I'm sure that to her, finding that a square peg fits in a square hole IS totally awesome!
* Lowest Common Demoninator
At work OMG means Onions Mushrooms Green (peppers) So if you want a small plain chicken sandwich it would be called out "Small chicken no omg"
I ain't perfect. No where close to being perfect.
