    Complaint: I just tried to use the Father's Day coupon on a DAZ Original product and it says it's not valid! First I noticed that the email promoting this coupon had FATH3RS-DAY-2012 for the coupon code. So I changed it to FATH3RS-DAY-2014 , but that didn't work, either. Now I'm just leaving it! :down: It said in the email that it expires on the 18th. Usually that means 11:59, DAZ time, on that date. It's only 11:33 pm June 17th, DAZ time.

    Complaint 2: Actually posted this to the Freebie challenge by accident.

    There is no Fathers Day coupon that was for 2012.

    Yes, there was! here

    It seems that when looking at announcements last week I saw this and didn't even think to look at the date. I didn't expect a two year old promotion to still be there in news and announcements! My mistake.

    An example of the role that punctuation plays in clarity of meaning.
    "There is no Fathers Day coupon; that was for 2012." ;-)

    And yeah, that one put the "Gotcha!" on me last year, LOL.
    Someone should definitely kill coupon announcements that are out-of-date. Two years? Sheesh...

    tropes got me, help, can't escape

    TVTropes is very good at sucking you in.

    TVTropes is a Waste of Time or a WoT site. I try to avoid that site as that does not help me write but to psychoanalyze myself too much and my story ideas too much. I need to write the D*** story otherwise it won't be written at all.

    on the topic of sexy, I went to Renderosity to look for um, lingerie. I found some garter belts for $5.00. Only downside is that the garter belts don't come with stockings or matching underwear. The stockings and underwear cost an extra $5.00 each. So the total for the whole outfit and extra textures will be $15.00. And I saw more addons for $5.00 - $10.00. The costs adds up.

    Outside my window is a bird going WICKETA WHEE. He's been doing it every five seconds for the last three hours, and I'm ready to strangle him. Or just yell out the window "SOMEONE MATE WITH HIM PLEASE SO HE'LL SHUT UP!"

    I got out my little cheap binoculars to try and get a look at the noisy little twerp, but all I can tell at this distance is that he is brown on top with a lighter belly and some brown/black/white pattern on his wings. Oh good, that narrows it down to only about 70% of the passerines. So identifying him for my life list is out too. Stupid bird.

    complaint: I do not see the glasses for the drink cart that comes with Poolside. I see the icon in the content library but not in the OpenGL preview window of Studio. Yes, I can double-click the icon of the drink cart to load the item, but I only see the cart itself and the lemon slices. I do not see the pitcher or the glasses.

    I forgot to save the image before I closed Daz Studio 4. I'll download Poolside again in case I have an old version.

    If memory serves they have a very low opacity setting - check for them in scene tab?

    Yes, the .cr2 file loads the glasses at 0% opacity. I'll need to adjust the opacity in Poser 9 too. The Studio 4 version loads the materials correctly. Thanks for your help.

    Wasn't trying to poke anybody's ribs. There just seemed to be an amusing "failure to communicate".
    Dana seemed to interpret your response as "there was never a 2012 Fathers Day coupon."

    And I've been reading your wonderful Tale Thread. And to read such an intriguing and imaginative story is a sheer joy.
    What's a few misplaced punctuation marks or misspelled words mean to me, really? Nada.
    Especially wonderful given that I know what an arthritic painful experience all that typing is for you, my friend.

    So my first minor in college was English, yes. But let me tell you exactly how that has helped me through the years ...I'm drawing a blank. :lol:

    Did the silly little emotity on the end not say it was a poke of humor? Well it twas, I'm about as offended as a puppy on his back getting a belly rub. I got flaws and know it and i figured the coupon flaw was easy to spot as the post date was 2012 for the post. But as this is like the second year folks have done this we Admins jumped in and fixed the post. Go haz a look at it now. :P

    you need electrolytes to rehydrate. something like gatorade.

    i dunno, maybe a spritz of fresh lemon in water would add lytes?
