    Complaint: trying to find the stuff to construct a decent male lead character (needed for Argentum Noctis) is a pain! I see why people grouse about no mens stuff.. argh. Just need a decent-looking guy in his mid-30s for an occult steampunk adventure series.

    It's easier to find the bits to make Olaf. And female characters, dang, it's an embarrassment of riches. No problems making Vicky the Protector, or the shield-maiden, or Rebecca Delacroix, or the Voudoun priestess Kayleigh.. simple. But a decent middle-aged dude? ARGH!!!

    What exactly are you looking for? Clothing, hair or just a properly aged character?

    Mainly a decent upper-middle-age character. I have steampunk clothing for M4, even decent gear, but most of my M4 characters aren't upper-middle age (which is where Adam Clayton, the hero, is).

    Maybe I just need to look more.. I'm kind of out of it today.. but all my current M4 men are in their mid to late 20s/early 30s, not upper 30s/early 40s.Ever hear of this Wooly? http://www.daz3d.com/aged-for-v4-m4 comes with four levels right out of the box and you can set the displacement amount yourself for it to be just SO.

    ...listening to classic Beatles albums.


    Leela's best friend Tracey would often sing Beatles songs for her. Leela loved them because they were nice love songs instead of the music of angst and hate that is so prevalent in her era.

    You wouldn't believe it, but I did 3 weeks work experience in a aged care facility just over a year ago, and one of the residents there was I kid you not a member of the Beatles management team. She moved to my town from Sydney, and wow she has heaps of photos and stories.


    ...super!

    I saw them back in Milwaukee, WI in 1964. My mum love them . We had all the albums,45s, books, subscriptions to teen magazines, and stood in line to see both Hard Day's Night and Help when they ere released. My two favourite albums are Rubber Soul and Revolver.
    I once had a brush with former Beatle George Harrison (more like a walk-by). I was grabbing a soft-drink from a machine in the hallway during an intermission at a Cheech & Chong concert at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville where I attended college (this would have been circa 1973-74) when three men walked in through a side door. There were two rather burly men, one on each side of the slim third man who had a very long beard and hair to match. As they passed by me and were ushered through a door that i knew led backstage, I realized who he was, as he looked very much like he does in the image below.
    I excitedly returned to my friends back in the auditorium and told them I just saw George Harrison in the hall and they said, "Sure you did."
    I was vindicated the next day when the local paper reported that Cheech & Chong had hosted a party at the Holiday Inn after the concert, and there was Mr. Harrison's name on the guest list. George loved comedy, even playing guitar on Cheech & Chong's "Basketball Jones".

    Used to listen to the Sex Pistols in my punk days.. about 30 years ago (lol)

    I liked Dead Kennedys better! :gulp:


    I prefer something closer to home, and that I can still listen to:
    The Ramones
    I still listen to "I Wanna Be Sedated" at least once a week. :coolsmile:

    Ramones! :coolsmile: :coolsmile:

    My damn air conditioner is not working again. They were just out to fix it last Monday. It is freezing up from what I can tell. There is ice on the pipe

    Frank, please excuse me if you've already done these things. I'm assuming we're talking about a window mounted unit.

    Turn off the AC and let the ice melt.
    If you know where the air filter is, (usually behind the front baffles) take it out and clean it. Most are a spongy material that you can just rinse with tap water and squeeze out until the rinse water is clear. Let the filter dry while the Ice is melting.
    Then replace the filter if the ice has finished melting. Icing up usually results from a lack of sufficient airflow over the coils (pipes).

    If it doesn't work after this, keep in mind that ACs do have a limited lifespan. You might want to start shopping for a new unit; they may be more affordable than you think. The prices on many appliances have fallen quite a bit, and are more efficient energy-wise (I think you mentioned this unit was 10 years old?).

    Ice in summer sounds scary ;)

    How about Aged for M4/V4? Check out thumbnail #6.

    And for hair, there's Mature Mark Hair.

    It keeps the Gorilla happy... and a happy 300lb gorilla is less likely to take your head off ;-).

    Perhaps he wants a nice two-piece? (^_^). (apologies for shameless cross-post ... but we've gone ten pages already with a thread title "too sexy for my sword", and HOW many NVIATWAS's have we had? ... we're slipping, people! X).

    ...OK complaint time:

    #1. Still can't sign in to Gmail on the workstation. I enter the correct username and password but keep getting a mismatch error. I've made sure i wasn't signed in with the notebook at the same time so there wouldn't be a conflict, but it still occurs.

    #2. Still keep getting misdirected to my bleedin' account page when I try to post a comment in the forums on the Workstation . I have the same version of FF (20.0) which is set up the same there as it is on my notebook with the same add ons & plugins, so I have no idea why this keeps happening. Also the look of the forums there seems a bit different than it does on the notebook which makes absolutely no sense at all.

    Hmm... that tells me that at least one thing or more is not set exactly the same on both PC's in FF and the Plugins. I would check from top to bottom on the Note Book (if it works better in the Mail and Forums) in everything, even write it down type thing. Then check the Station over again. Also note the Diff's on the Station so MAYBE you can tick it on the Note Book for the Smilies to start working, all I got. Not fun I know.
