    Wow, that chandelier is impressive.

    I picked up a secondhand chandelier today, no idea what to do with it so hung it from end of my four poster canopy bed
    electrics prob iffy so might put candles or led lights in it and hang on my patio.
    Still deciding.

    Nice chandelier. Interesting place for it. I like chandeliers.

    (*Lapsing into reminiscence mode*) I remember several decades ago (summer of 1982 to be more exact) my other half and I took a car trip from Florida to Denver, Colorado to attend a gay motorcycle & leather club camping convention in the mountains. There were about a hundred or more butch (and not so butch) guys attending, but everybody was in leather. Everybody had tents and a good time was had by all (except for the one or two that misfortune took great pleasure in zeroing in on, but that's another story for a more forgiving audience). Point being that this being a gay convention there was of course some flamboyancy involved. The first evening when the dinner bell rang to call us all to the campfire we discovered that the hosting club had hung a large crystal chandelier from a big tree and electrified it to provide light for the outdoor dining area. Viewing it from a distance with the mountains in the background lit by twilight it made quite an impression. :smirk:

    To continue this story without purpose, the next day there was a tent judging contest. The tent that won was surrounded by a white picket fence and pink flamingos and had a stone pathway to the entrance. %-P

    So instead of "pitch" a tent, they decided to "kitsch" a tent? :)

    Although I'm a primitive camper, I would love to go to a campout like that. Sounds great!

    ...for me "camping out" is a cheap motel for 35$ a night at the coast. These bones and joints don't take very well to sleeping on the ground.

    I rather camp out at my brother's house in Charlotte and play with my nephew some than do real camping.

    In '95 I'd quit my job, bought a motorcycle, and took off on a summer long trip around the USA & Canada. Had all the camping gear piled on back. I camped some of the time, (Letchworth, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Mt. Rainier, Rogue River, etc.) but most of the time I wimped out and found cheap motels. Discovered I can do it, but I'm not really a camper. Now days I wouldn't want to do it without an RV with a comfortable bed, flush toilet, air-conditioning, kitchen and Internet connection.

    ...yeah the Megabucks gives you two lines of 6 numbers for each 1$ play . I usually play four lines per pull and the matches occurred on the 3rd & 4th ones.

    ..."sunning" pretty viciously here.

    Would you believe it's only June 10th and I already have an August summer tan?

    ...and this ain't Southern California, Hawai'i, or the Gulf Coast, I'm in the Pacific NorthWet.

    It's dark here! Was a pretty nice day though, and I had a pleasant stroll through the woods at lunchtime. :)

    Morning all. The sun is shining, next door's cat is perched atop the fence, scowling at all and sundry, there's a pleasant aroma of coffee and cooking bacon coming from the kitchen, the overnight render came out nicely, what could be nicer? :)

    Morning. But today it promises to be not so good. Only 7:35AM and already it's hot and muggy despite outside temperature being only 63F. Sweat dripping down my back as I scramble to find the fan. But I won't worry until I have to swat a few fish out of the air. Reminds me of Florida.

    When I was growing up I really didn't believe people could really be stupid. Oh, there was the occasional joke about somebody acting stupid but I never actually saw any stupid stuff even watching people coming out of the local bars. They were just drunk and wobbled their cars safely home somehow. For the most part the people around me seemed to be reasonably logical.

    Now, with the Internet and especially with the plethora of TV's "people are really stupid" type of shows, the vast plague of stupidity that infects the human species and seems to know no bounds is there for all to see. Much of it fueled by alcohol but a great deal of it seemingly fueled by one's teen brain, one's genes, and one's choice of friends. (i.e. "Birds of a Feather...").

    ...consider it "conditioning" if you decide to move there. :cheese:

    Sounds like living in NE Ohio. Only 76F out today with rain and I was sweating like a pig.

    None of my Bettas will go get my tablet off my bed and give it to me. They are too busy doing nothing.

    ...yeah, same issue here. I keep telling the Daz 4.8.0.56 beta to set up my scene and render it while I make dinner but when I get back to the desk I still see nothing a blank viewport. Beta's are like cats, they don't listen at all when you ask them to do something.
