Complaint: Rainy, blah day. Had to go uptown again to see my cardiologist. Once-a-day bus scheduled to arrive in my town at the grocery store at 8:10am. It's a good thing I started early because at 7:55am before I'd reached the grocery store, the bus came while I was still 100 feet (30meters) away and was about to drive off. I had to jump into the street and flag him down. At my age that's getting to be problematic.
Non-complaint: Bus driver went off his route to take me directly to the medical center. Wheee..., no waiting for neither a connecting bus nor an Uber.
Complaint: I thought I was so smart to have remembered to go to the bank while I was uptown. Only to discover that today is a bank holiday.
Needed to do something that required a human teller, so again, no banking for me today.
Rain, rain, go away. Come again, some other day. No, nevermind, I'm home now. Keep on rainin'.
My home internet is acting strange. Sometimes it works but other times it doesn't.
I just saw a $5 off $7+ item at one of my favorite stores. Of course it can't be new items or under $7. I hope I chose a good item?
Sorta complaint ........ so I bought a bag of mixed vegetables to go into the beef stew ,you know the ones with carrots ,peas ,corn and beans , but the bag I got only had corn , peas and 4 carrot pieces in it ......luckily I had a second bag ,that actually ,had the right mix in it ,.......still think it was funny
i forgot to save a character pose and light settings that I "made". Now i need to load the scene into Daz Studio and pose Genesis 3 all over again.
I actually got a render done last night. My computer hated it. It was a comparison of Geneghhhhhht\sis 8 Male character, and a Genesis 9 conversion.
It's so friggin' cold, and I'm so tired.
I could've done stuff today, but I couldn't be bothered. I expect it will be the same tomorrow :/
I know that feeling... had to come out here to cool off as a converted clothing ate up all my 64GB's and then some when starting to render and came close to taking down the OS before I killed DS.
Of course I hadn't saved the changes I made to the character and now have to try to remember what I did...
Crappy ferry ride home... pouring outside and it's steamy and loud inside... almost like a subway.
Complaint? I've only been home half the day today, yet the local fire siren has blown at least 4 times this afternoon.
We get very few fires these days. Now it's mostly emergency local medical care provided by the town and only weakly funded by contributions. Taking care of the "Help, I've fallen and can't get up." people, or the "Help, I've locked myself out of my house." people. Or the "I can't afford a proper ambulance or taxi or Uber, please take me to the hospital for free." people that call every week.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate having a volunteer service like that, and am glad they are there.
Although, I was taken aback this past summer when one of the biggest and oldest, and most historical houses in the town, catty-corner across the street from the fire department building, burned to the ground,
along with the non-vacant house next to it,
and scorched the side of the house across the street.
But fortunately, despite being so close, the firehouse itself is made of brick, so no worries there.
@ McGYVER: Check your PMs
..ugh, just as i was about to head to the market, it turned windy and wet. 42°, pouring rain, and 10-15 mph winds (the latter which is made worse by all the tall condo buildings in the area) makes me shiver just thinking about going out in it, even for three blocks. I have food at home but wanted to get a few things for the weekend (out of bacon and the Safeway has a great deal on a 3# pack of thick sliced bacon). Tomorrow will be a better day for shopping, low 50s, sun and very little wind, but really would have liked the bacon for tomorrow's brekkie.
Complaint : I ordered some new wheels for an office chair from Amazon they were suppose to be delivered today ,my door sensor chimes ,and by the time I get to the front door ,I can see the delivery guy walking away ,look around and there is no package ,watch the delivery van ,pull away ,go to my neighbors drive turn around and drive back past my house....... I go back inside check the computer ,check the tracking ,and tracking says it was delivered left on front porch next to front door....... nope it's not there...can't complain about it until tomorrow though ,delivery guy /porch pirate
..about ready to shut down the system and turn when I just heard several gunshots outside (window closed). I live in a new relatively upscale neighbourhood (in one of the few subsidised low income buildings which were mandated when development of the area began). and find it disconcerting. This isn't the first time either but definitely was semi auto fire as the shots were in rapid succession.
Life in the big city.
Nite all.
I forgot I changed my avatar last night. I was wondering who posted then I realized it was me.
Yep, gunshots in the night! It's always unsettling, but as nice as the inner cities can be, there are places that are not so nice. We lived on the edge between the big granite and marble government buildings downtown, and the area 12 blocks north of the National Museum of Art, and 8 blocks north of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. We lived on the corner of 6th & "P" Streets, NW, (6th street is a major north/south route through downtown DC, also identified as US Route #1 that runs from Maine to Miami), and just a block away to the east (at 5th & "O" St.) was an area identified in the nightly news as the home of "The "O St. Gang".
And I'm sure that we even knew some of the members of the gang. Not well, but by sight because they frequented the same little bodegas and locations we did in our neighborhood. A couple of them recognized us but as long as we didn't interact except by acknowleging nods, we never had any trouble. They were content with shooting at and getting shot by their known enemies at night.
But bullets through the windows did cross our minds.
Our WashDC home was a 2-storey brick townhouse with full basement above ground. We were on the corner so we had windows on two sides of the house. LOTS of windows.
Which were a pain to clean, and required lots of curtains ($$$)
, but made the house a lot more cheerful and light than the homes in the middle of the row. And on the long side of the house it had 6 bay windows which made for some interesting interior decorating options (and lots of curtains).
It's been 30 years since we sold that house, but In the latest GoogleEarth photos I see that the trees have grown a LOT, and my wonderfull, wooden picket fence that lasted for 25 years has now been replaced with a hedge and typical WashDC style iron fence. (Gray house on the end in photo below).
I'm confused (well actually I always am) But did you sneeze or something while typing the word "Genesis"?
BTW, Page 99 alert.
Been watchin' it. Why else would I ramble on about my old house?
(Well, actually, I just like to ramble. 
Also, the ever approaching light at the end of the tunnel is no mystery anymore, so rambling about the past becomes more attractive.)
Hahahhahahaa well this time my delivery showed up with a picture ,and it was actually there.Last night it was not I did check ,but I also got wondering if the skeleton sitting in the rocker on the dark porch freaked the guy out.......
...I guess nothing lasts forever. I will admit the iron fence and hedge still looks better than the chain link fence next door. It also appears that the one on the opposite side just had new windows put in.
Yeah, the old homestead I grew up in has seen changed as well. Gone are the two large maple trees (one in the front yard one in the back) and a smaller pine tree and flower bed along the side yard. There used to be three windows in the front and two Emerald Green Arborvitae trees by the porch which are no longer there. The back yard is much smaller due to the addition of a large garage (we didn't have one, Granddad rented space in a two car garage down the back alleyway). There is also now a "privacy" fence surrounding the yard which is new (we had a picket fence that was mostly taken out later save for along the back alley.
Of course the biggest loss was all the old elm trees that lined the street, now gone due to Dutch Elm Disease which was ran through the upper midwest like a wildfire (the elms were replaced with maples which have finally grown to a decent height but do not provide the lofty canopy of leaves that the elms did)

This is also why I miss Misty, so picking up the baton.

The I didn't win the PCH Sweepstakes...Again, Complaint Thread.
Dana
i didn't but then I didn't confirm my entry. I didn't want them to come to my house to embarrass me in front of my housemates.
What?
If you won, you could get rid of your housemates for good!
Dana
The trouble is, hit persons sometimes need repeat payments. Err, or so I am told.

also I rent a room not the entire house.
How would someone coming to the house to announce you winning a sweepstakes be embarassing ?
..ever see one of those presentations? They are pretty much over the top.. Though agreed, in some ways not so much embarrassing as more unnerving as they paint a bull's-eye on you and your home for every crook and scammer.
That's why I like our state's lottery. The prizes aren't anywhere near as astronomical as for Powerball or Mega Millions, but you can choose to stay incognito from the public eye if you do win.
