It gave instructions for how to increase your LOD to 3 or 4 in various viewers so that your objects would look better. *sigh* I thought that was a well-known solution!

Rhonda Huntress Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 OK ... It's that time again for me. /me looks down at the floor while she shuffles her feet. I vow for the rest of July to not post rude comments or be a silly twit. I further vow to give at least one person I do not know a compliment each week. My goal will be daily but I know realistically I may not have the opportunity so one a week is my target. There is enough pain in this world to go around; there is no need for me to be creating more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost word for word what I thought. The number of stores participating seems to be less than average too. I'm not sure how much longer it will continue at this rate which is a pity cause it is a fun and different event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Small rant inbound ... We have company coming over tonight. Yay! I am making a large, slow roasted brisket that I started at 4:00 AM. Most of today has been a nice Saturday with family and fun. I just need my husband and my daughter to help with picking up the house. Fifteen minutes tops if we all take our part. Jax wants to help. He really does. He even vacuumed the living room ... after I found the vacuum for him. And cleaned the canister. And showed him where the attachments are kept. And picked up grandkids toys so he didn't run over them. Fortunately my daughter is here. Unfortunately she has my ADOLAS (Attention defic ... oh look, a squirrel). I told her "We are not using the counter top ice maker. It needs disinfecting. Please pull the plug and drain it and I'll take care of it in the morning. There is a bag of ice in the freezer for today. Put that in an ice chest and set it on the counter. " She is an intelligent young woman. She did everything perfectly. And then filled the ice maker with water that she had just removed the plug from not 2 minutes earlier. So now I'm mopping the kitchen, too, while she goes to get a towel. She comes back with a new dress in her hands she wants me to feel .... OK, the house is done after an hour of me running back and forth. I need a shower before people show up. Only right now I need to wait because the other two just used up all the hot water for their showers while I finished the kitchen. I love my family. I honestly do. That's why I haven't killed them yet. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Rhonda, Rhonda, Rhonda...your mistake was getting out of bed at 4 am to go work in the kitchen. This is guaranteed to put you in a bad mood and ruin the rest of your day. Sleep until noon instead. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight SL is 2 AM here. In short I didn't get up at 4:00, I went to bed at 4:00 after starting the brisket; then I got up around noon, as suggested The brisket was perfect, BTW. Absolutely perfect. And once everyone came over (Including Clover ♥♥♥) it was a lovely evening. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Quote Issued: 3:22 AM Jul. 17, 2018 – National Weather Service ...AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF VERY HOT TEMPERATURES EXPECTED LATER THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEK... A building upper ridge and drier conditions will lead to intense heating across the area beginning the middle of this week, lasting into next week. Temperatures are expected to reach above 100 degrees at most locations with temperatures near 110 degrees along the Rio Grande. If you plan to be outside in the heat, take plenty of breaks, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. Drink plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages. Think about others! NEVER leave children in a car on even a moderately warm day as conditions in the car can quickly heat to unhealthy levels. Check on pets, the elderly, or other people at risk. Can it be October yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Levenque Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Random thoughts upon waking up today... ( background) Someone here (Sukubia, I believe) was talking about a green German beverage. It's made by steeping the leaves of a plant called Waldmeister aka woodruff, and apparently it has a terrific flavor (I googled it a lot when I read the post). So my thoughts? It would be so cool if somehow the beverage could be made to give off fumes, so that it could be called "Fuming Rigellian Wine" in honor of the old James Blish science fiction novels "Cities in Flight". A quote: "It included fuming Rigellian wine, which he despised as a drink for barbarians;..." Now I have to find one of those novels and read it again; see if they were anywhere near as good as I remember. As a kid I was utterly captivated by them. You can identify a "Cities in Flight" fan anytime by saying, "IMT made the sky .. fall!" They'll react. :-) Edited July 21, 2018 by Dillon Levenque 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I found out that Woodruff was or still is kinda not really allowed in the US, due to the coumarin in it. At least not in food and beverages? As a plant, it seems to be available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galium_odoratum Other than that, some people say it's an aquired taste. It's dificult to describe, actually - some say like a herbal vanilla, although I'm not quite sure of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
