    My Mum died this morning (in her sleep). 2.15am. I was with her.

    Not posting for sympathy.

    I just wanted the world to know that she existed, and that I am proud to be her daughter heart/broken heart crying

     

     

     

    (and yeah, I do miss the old days).

    ...late night (early morning?) complaint:

    Well that was somewhat annoying

    I needed to update the Install Manager so I could download and install a few purchases I made. All of that worked fine, but after I closed it, I noticed that the folder with all my shortcuts to the graphics software I use was deleted from my desktop.,*poof" gone (I made sure it wasn't moved elsewhere on the desktop and even did a search which turned up nothing).

    Never have seen anything like this before and it makes no sense that a the new version of the IM would seriously mess with the Windows desktop like this. So now I have to go find all the executables, start them manually one by one, and rebuild the shortcut library, as well as save a backup on a USB, as I am now concerned this may happen the next time and every time the IM updates.

    Serious fail here by development as it seems it wasn't thoroughly tested before being released.

    I wish we had a choice whether we wanted to update it or not, as several times in the past all my install paths were overwritten with the default IM ones and on a couple occasions, my stored password was deleted as well and the .ini file was moved from its proper location.

    It's late, I'm frustrated and disgusted, I'll deal with it when I get up.

    I keep seeing ads for a mobile came called Wordzee that bills itself as "Yatzy (sic) with letters", but it's more like mini Scrabble puzzles.

    Making textures was something I never really caught on to.  I made textures with early Bryce, and early Carrara, but never really got into it.  It seems to be Twiddler's-Heaven.indecision

    Complaint:  I got my hands slapped for the word "[...]".frown  Perfectly good word,  "something of very poor quality".   (*sigh*)  Getting tired of dealing with zealots.

    Edited to add:  See!  Did it again.  An automated zealot?  Or a real one following me around trampling my nettles.indecision

    Mothers are special. When we lose them, it's a special kind of heartbreak. 

    I'm so sorry. (hugs)

    And the problem with alcohol is, at some point you're going to wake up and be right back where you were trying to get away from. Or naked in an alley. Either way, there are some things that don't get better easily.

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,254

    Why is it that when I want to relax something comes up such as the need to use the restroom?

     I think I missed it.  Although I did wake up at 6:17 that morning, a non-typical time for me, and reported to be the time of the quake.

    My condolences on your loss... 

    I sent you a PM... it's unsolicited and hopefully not too weird that I did so, but I hope it helps if you read it.

    Be well.

    You make the "or naked in an alley" part sound bad... you know sometimes that's intentional or even a semi-unintentional part of a bigger plan and actually kind of altruistic in a convoluted and utterly perplexing manner.

    From what I understand there is no such thing as a free car.  Technically a free 3D car model for DS comes with cost.  One would need to have a computer.  That uses electricity.  Also need internet to download everything.  Oh, the person model could be free, and there is probably a free swimsuit for that figure too?  Or if it is Genesis 9, use that default outfit and hair.

    um, I am getting a cab to pick up some bottles of water as for some reason I can't carry two packs of water home from Walmart if I'm returning by foot.

    Hmmm..., that reminds me of the summer of '91, on a road trip from Orlando to Denver, we stopped in New Orleans, French Quarter, mid afternoon intending to find a hotel.  No such luck.  So we started enjoying what the area offered in refreshments.  The next morning saw the sun waking us up, fully exposed, on one of those ornate cast iron balconies overhanging Bourbon St, or whatever.angel  Beautiful, large, ornate apartment.yes    Wheee... mostly a blur for many hours but we survived and made it the rest of the way to Denver but I've never been back.indecision   Mmmm... foggy memories... mmmmdevil

    I am so sorry for your loss. Mothers are special and I believe she will be with you forever.

    My mother would have been 103 on 4 Feb, and I lost her when she was 59. I still feel her love, humor, and care today.

    ...I still have many a "foggy" memory myself  from when I lived in the Big Easy back in the 70s.  It does that to you. 

    My usual "evening" after work was about 02: 30 to about 06:30 ), usually down at Pat O'Brien's on Rue St Peter in the Quarter next to Preservation Hall (I managed the  evening shift at the deli restaurant where I worked on Carrolton),  Back then many places in the quarter stayed open until past sunrise.

    I don't remember the 70's at all.  It was like I was born in the 80's.

    Non-complaint:  Wheee... major item ticked off my bucket list.  Funeral plans all paid for.  No burden on the family.yes  Now, the only major item left on the BL is updating my will & life insurance, they're a bit outdated, by ​like 30 years.surprise  Beneficiaries have died, most of my properties & investments are already just ancient history.frown  No immediate plans to shuffle off this mortal coil but now the uncertainty is gone, and any money I have left is MINE, all MINE!  Mwa-ha-ha.devil  Although the depths of my McDuck money bin is like diving into the shallow end of a kiddie pool.sad
