    Poser scripts are not working properly.  I just want to make an obz into an obj file, but I am not sure how without the script.

    I have a technical question...

     Are rats inappropriate mouse holders?

    I was just wondering...

     

    I want a mouse holder like that,  but I think maybe one or the other of my cats would steal it.  They are not honest cats, they steal all sorts of things, especially things off my desk.   They have  pens, pencils, rubberbands, a couple or 3 book marks, including one of the latest ones I tried which are magnetic, emery boards, cable ties, loose coins......you name it they steal it as a toy.

    I'd check the local pawnbrokers... Cats tend to steal things to pay off gambling debts.  Many cats these days are addicted to gambling without their humans knowledge... Some are into online gambling, which they engage in when the humans are not around, but others will go out for scratchcards (they love the scratching part), or in extreme cases go to shady backstreet establishments that cater to feline gamblers.

    Most cats seem to prefer roulette (they love watching that little ball) or wagering on budgie fights.

    Unfortunately, this behavior is often the gateway to other vices, as many of the backstreet casinos also operate nip dens (sort of like an old timey opium den, but with lots of stoned cats instead)... Between the gambling and the catnip, things can spiral out of control rapidly.

    A recent case highlighted in the news, told of a pair of cats in Parsipanny N.J., who were so deep in debt, they not only sold their human's car and all the furniture in her apartment, they also robbed a local bank... The cat's human companion, Wanda Nuttburger, told the authorities she never knew about the problem until a SWAT team showed up at her door.

    I don't want to alarm you unduly, but you should keep this in mind... Especially should a telly go missing or other valuables vanish.

     

    they deal with squirrel loan sharks and ferret bookies.

    my ferrets, when I had indoor ferrets, were even worse tea leafs (cockney rhyming slang for thief) 

    I had ferrets once... But I started showering more regularly and it cleared up.

    Actually I only had an extended loner ferret whom I held onto for a friend who was in limbo for a while.... Fortunately the limbo craze died down and he was able to take back his crazy ferret.

    In all fairness to Stinky, he thought I was crazy too... So did the ferret.

    I forgot which one was called Stinky, my friend or his ferret.

    I used to have rats too... One I got on purpose... Actually that's not entirely true, he was a hand-me-down rat.

    A girl my friend had the hots for was given a rat, by her boyfriend and she couldn't keep it in her apartment, so she asked my friend if he could give it a home, which he happily agreed to... Unfortunately for him (but not the rat) she only mentioned the rat was a gift from her boyfriend, after my friend agreed to take the rat... He was rather saddened by this discovery and showed up with the rat at my house looking for sanctuary (for the rat)... I guess he figured my place was a good environment for a rat, considering how well the free range rats were doing.

    That was many decades ago, but I still miss Ben (because what else do you call a rat)... He was a brilliant little rodent... He actually figured out how to open his cage and he would let himself out, but when he saw me approaching, he run back inside and close the door... Not lock it, apparently he could only open it.

    It used to bug me so much because for the longest time I kept finding the door unlatched and I thought I was leaving it open... Until I actually watched him undo the hook... Not the smoothest operation, but he did it well.... He also loved riding in the pocket of my army jacket when I rode my bike... Unfortunately that eventually ended when he decided that it would be more fun to ride on my shoulder and he almost fell off.

    Something tells me your 2008 Acer has never had a near-death experience from drowning. Mine had one, this past July. I was trying to cool it down, using a cooler block. The block got left there for too long, drops of water formed... a leak occurred. After several attempts to revive the Acer, during which it produced a horrible smell of somethig burnt and metallic, it eventually came back to life. The fact that it lived for five more months, and had a late career as a render rig, means it must have been a tough one after all. I named it Lazarus, and copied every file of interest to an external hard drive, just in case I hadn't made a copy already. DAZ Studio was too big to fit on that HD. sad

    I would, you don't know where they've been and how well they've been cleaned or if the previous owner died of plague. surprise  But you could throw caution to the wind and live dangerously by donning the duds immediately.  It's sometimes good for the spirit. devil
