  • Maryland sounds similar to her as far as permits. The big difference is that you don't have to have a licensed contractor if you are living on the property you want to do some work on. Resident can build a fence, ect with just the license. However it still has to be able to pass code. Work that is just fixing things can be done by anybody as long as you have a permit from the city for the work. That's why a friend who knows how to roof (just fixing) was able to do ours years ago but we had to have a contractor build the fence(new construction).
  • Re: Scripts - So Basically Shaderworks and D3D to make things easier, Netherworks to make things funner. Got it. I'll be making my RDNA wishlist bigger soon, heh.

    Re: Building - Guh... so much stuff. *deep breath* Ok. This will work. And it will be awesome at the end. Woooooo....
  • Yes, it will work and it will have been worth the aggravation.
  • Ok, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to sacrifice prettyness for practicality. Ah well. The pretty can come later. There is only so much *I* can afford.

    On another note, I GOT PINE SAP ON MY PANTS! DX
  • Xaa - Would it do that even if the clothing doesn't have the morphs used included? Like, for example, I use the M4 Muscle Morphs a lot and no clothing has them, at least not what I have. I'll deal with the text editing after I manage to at least get around Poser, :-P




    Nope. For that, use the "Morphing Clothes" program to add the morphs to the clothing. One click, done, away you go.

  • And here's the link to Morphing Clothes again, in case you need it.

    On reflection, it's probably not as intuitive as I make it out to be, I've used the program quite a bit and I'm used to it.  However, it is most definitely worth the money.  If you decide to get it and have problems using it, feel free to poke at me, and I'll walk you through it.

  • I do have it, but still in the zip folder, heh. I'll take it out to play this week. Thanks for the help, ^_^
  • Casual observation... all this "Wicked Wear" over "there" is exactly the same... just cut in different places... and can someone say boob socks?? *shakes head*

    Moving on to greener pastures.
  • The "Wicket Wear" is looking fairly basic, to my eye, and is Genny-only, so us retro-die-hards are not in a position to enjoy that. ;)

    I wish to complain that I do not have enough time to make mesh AND Poserize. Arrgh. If stuff in the household would just calm down a tad, that would be helpful.

  • Teeheee! You little streaking minx.
  • ok... need to catch up. slept through the warzone, um, 4th of july helliday fireworks. i used to love them years ago, but not since so many head injuries have happened to me.

    terre: big hugs to you and pass them on to the mother in law.

    nanobot: i love trains! i loved amtrak. in the 80's i did a santa rosa, calif to
    virginia trip and back. i loved it. got to schmooze with everyone, including
    a man who was showing off how his granddaughter had gotten a part in a
    movie with michael j fox. turned out to be back to the future. got to have
    catfish for meals because the cook was really nice. :) got to celebrate my
    25th birthday in 4 time zones. :) i wore my fuzzy slippers the entire ride
    both ways, hopped between cars, loved the dome car, and kept saying,
    'let's do lunch', to just about everybody :) it was so unreal because it was
    like i could just be anything and i loved the train, any of them, even the
    one we were stuck on in a delay. oh, and we played bingo for meals, but
    i had a sleeper so my meals were included already. i gave my won meals to
    people in regular seats. hey, you have to sit up for days on a train you'd sure
    like a hot meal for free, right?

    i'm guessing it's not quite so fun nowadays...

    ok, besides rambling...

    i read the country has 80% in drought. i have a suggestion, and i am not being
    anything but serious here.

    do mayim. sing it, dance it, both, or just watch.

    if you do not know what it is, go to utube: mayim mayim

    it was choreographed in the 1930's, but it is very old.

    i promise you it WILL rain somewhere.

    it does work, if you have faith. do not do this in
    japan or russia this week though, they don't need rain.

    but, the key is you have to have the faith to believe it.

    the lyrics mean in joy we shall gather water from the wellsprings of salvation.

    think. these people were in a desert. any rain was salvation to them and
    their crops. we have like a huge part of a huge country in dire need of its
    crops saved now. i don't know about you, but i can't see too many people
    affording for food to get even more expensive than it is now. it's insane.

    besides, it's a fun song and dance. and that itself is good.

    ok, that was my PSA for the day...

    i keep forgetting to post here! i don't know why, sorry.
    thinking cooler and rainy thoughts...

  • @Ladyfur: Sounds like that was a great train trip. Thank you. :)

    Hopefully you mean, "Damn, already 21? She was just 16 a minute ago," and not, "It's amazing she survived this long."

    Given your kids have yours and Bruce's good brains, probably the former. ^_^

    They're smart, getting their educations, and give you a lot of grief because, yanno, they're young and know everything, of course. Sounds about right. :)  And you're their mom, so how bad could they be, anyhow?

  • Oooooooo... Please send us some of those raindrops!
  • Soooooo, I'm going to be going to NY Comic Con and dressing up. There is a five year old inside of me that's giddy with glee.

    Random note of the day.
  • I don't go to conventions anymore. 

    Every time I go to conventions, they always ask me what character I'm dressed as. 

    I don't wear a costume.

  • Yikes, heh. 
    This will be my first one, so I don't really know what to expect, but I hope the guy I'm going with will show me the ropes. 
  • If you don't mind crowds you'll probably have a blast. :)
  • Funny thing... I've *always* wanted to dress up, it's one of the reasons I loved being part of several drama/acting groups in school, but I just never had a chance to do it. Now I can afford it, and have the time to do it too. I just hope I can pull off the costume I want, haha.

    And I live in NYC, remember? :-P I live *in* a crowd, hahaha.
  • That you do. LOL

  • I was at NYCC last year (as well as SDCC) promoting my comic. NYCC was far more fun and a lot more industry focused, which I wanted. San Diego has a buttload of CosPlayers, but NYCC had it's fair share too. It's a fun time. I really want to go back this year, but with the purchase of my home I'm kind of flat broke! Oh well, maybe next year.

    Hope you have fun Angelus. What costume are you trying for?

    It's the combination of angel wings and black had that flummox them.

  • LT - I'm going to design my own version of a Lady Loki costume based on his Avengers movie outfit. I know there *is* already a Lady Loki, but I kinda like his outfit in the Avengers, so I want to base it on that. Sending out requests for price quotes as we speak, :) I want to attempt to make my own costumes for next time though. I think that's the fun part too, ^_^ If you do manage to go to NYCC, do let me know! I'd love to meet you, :D
  • It's kind of unlikely this year. I will miss going, as I made some good contacts last year and would love to meet up with them again. :\

    But big life decisions, like buying a home, cut into the fun stuff (though getting in and settling into the new home will be fun in and of itself).

    If I ever go again, I'll yelp. :)
  • Sweet, looking forward to that, :)
  • Heh, I was out gallivanting around NYC yesterday for most of the day.  Getting in touch with job ops and showing family about- we were all over the place.  Tiring work, that, being a tour guide.  We went from WTC to Central Park and back.
