    you Merry Cans call em Crappers!!!

    Merry Cans? Never heard that one before. I'm from Massachusetts, if you mean Canadian, so no.

    I had a suspicion, though. Just never heard it before.

    Dana


    i thought it was a dalek reference, but daleks aren't merry :wow:

    ...well just received a very unexpected arrival. When I opened my door to get ready to run some errands there was a gift sack on the landing. Seems a number of my fiends who are aware of my plight with my unemployment running out soon and no further extension, got together and did a collection.

    All totalled, besides a couple of nice gifts was a lot of cash in bills & coin (I hope they didn't knock over a Red Kettle) about 170$ when all was said and done

    Kind of makes me feel like George Bailey from A Wonderful Life (my all time favourite holiday film) partly because I have been a bit down about the whole situation. and partly because of the pot of coinage (reminiscent of the final scene where the bartender Mr. Martini, brings in a bucket full of change proclaiming "I a-busted the jukebox").

    That all goes to the food and household fund and maybe a bit for some nice clothing for interviews (but only after the holiday when the big sales happen).

    Yes, in this whacked out world, there are still people who honestly care. :-)

    Kyoto Kid, I'd send you a Daz Gift card but I don't have any extra cash. Glad to see that you have some cash to spend. Thanks for sharing the story.

    ...that is fine. Better for you to save up for a new system so you can break the surly bonds of 32 bit.

    trying to use ps texture filters to make hair strands bump map. closest i can get is linen.

    clothified hair seems easier than strand hair. should be a way to drape without distorting polys.

    I think it is raining near lake Erie. Snow is falling near lower Michigan around Detroit, I think.
