**TAKES HUGS**  Ty Zob.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Lizzy.  I hope it's all textbook-smooth and everything goes according to plan (or better...which does sometimes happen!)

Karl person...you not gonna blow up Jug and Henrys dog is you?
  be made if you does.

Karl never posts anything on OOC...

But he's also never been involved in a friendly-fire incident in his entire history with the game.

Don't know that this is a good time to start pushing for first-time events...*grim smile*

I don't want to be blown up!

In reply to Roy Spencer (msg # 31):

Thank you Roy very much

ok folks?..having trouble with my windows here.. I'm gonna mess with some stuf.. I'll be back as soon as  I am able.

okay hope you get it all fixed.

ok.. never had this  much trouble.. blue screened to death!.. then if  suddenly  kicked  in and reset.

 I broke  down and Bouyght  another  one using my  amazon  fire tablet, that I gotfor  free, lst time I got a  cell phone.

 That little tablet kept  me   moving this game when  my other  compter  died  a few years ago

 anyway?..  should be getting my new one thrusday or  Friday..hopefully this one lasts long  enough  to switch out seamlessly!

 it was weird, I couldn't get  up dates...for windows 10..it  would stop at 99%  and not do anything... well see what happens.!

 Until then..GAme on!

That sucks hopefully the new one works out better.

  I started gettign  HPs a while ago.. the  last 3 ( 4 now)..I called up  the HP techs  with the website up (this time on the tablet).

 I get them to help   me pick one out  and 'built it, so I don't get what I won't use, but  what I use I have good stuff. for.

 The last one I got must have been built on a Friday... it didn't work  right from the start..i called HP tech, they sent me  free  installs  of the  the windows   ..it turns out , afte r an hour on  the phone, it was  a partition.. do they paid  to have it shipped to factory...fixed  and shipped back. I tried to  just get another new one, in exchange.. and they said if  I had  further rproblems, they would do that...but... that was  what?  3  eyars ago?

 so... I was  fussing with it, and  noticed the last time  I  reset the machine.. I couldn't get updates?..then , when I did the updates   from the  apps.. it  would stop at 99%  and never  do anything...and?  the window  for it  couldn't be closed  unless  I shut the machine off hot.

::shrugs:: we'll see what the new one will do..i didn't  but all the stuff  I normally do.. i'll go and get the machine, printer, Monitor and speakers... But I didn't need  to since the  printers is only 6 months old... and the speakers with be compaitable..did get a new Monitor though....so?.. thus  far this machine is  behaving again... but I don't trust it... if somethign happens  I have to go dark, i'll use me  Amazon fire thing..to fill in the time.

 taken some big hits with fiances...helping with wedding.. new freezer and washer.. got washer and dryer  for son for wedding present..hope  the big ticket items  are done beating me up so I can  start building up  again.

ok..just to help sort folks out

1..Zobs  group is easy  enough to see they didn't get buried

2.. same with tower folks.

3... Henry's  group is  back aways..but they a re waiting on Karl to  come down and shell.

  Nikkie and Mitch  and Haley are on shore leave... Sneal is watchign  Roll as  Jax  ran off to help Howe  ( its up to Niki is che wants Sneak and Roll along)

So, had another 'I've never done that before' moment today...a couple of them on the same project, in fact...

A friend of mine is running an Andy Warhol-themed Halloween event this weekend...and she asked me to paint a giant-sized version of one of Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans to use as a photo prop (people stand behind it, so it looks like they're in the can...)  Never painted one of Warhol's works before...it's not completely done, but it's at a point where I think I can finish it in another hour or so tomorrow (she's only paying me $100 for it, and the corrugated plastic sheet I used for it cost a little over $20, so I'm not too eager to spend a huge amount of time on it.  She's still getting a screaming deal, but I like her shows, so I said yes to the price.  If she doesn't like it, I'll fall back on the old, "Well, you should have said yes to the $200 price, because then I would have taken a lot more time and care with it."

But, while I was in the middle of painting it (on my front lawn, since there's no room for a 4' wide, 5.5' tall plastic sheet to lay down to paint in my apartment), I got what I thought was a runny nose...until a drop of blood fell onto the can (and not in one of the areas I was painting red).  I've bled on a lot of my projects before...but this is the first time I've bled on one of my painting projects.

So I spent another hour and a half painting out there with a kleenex rolled up and stuffed in one nostril.  I can only imagine what the neighbors think (aside from the one who walked by a couple of times...the first time he asked if I was 'getting artsy'...the second time he kept going on about how good it looked, so I did something right).

I still need to do one more coat of red (that's always the worst color...nobody makes a good, opaque red, it's always the most translucent color) and touch up a couple of things, then paint the rims at the top and bottom of the can.  I'm skipping a few details, but...she wanted the $100 version...

Oh, and tonight was also the first rehearsal for my next show...The Drowsy Chaperone.  It doesn't perform until late January, but because of the upcoming holidays, they started early to give us enough time to get around it.  Like most of the shows I was in last year, I'm playing a character that shows up right at the end of the show, so they're using me to help fill in spots in the ensemble (I think they also just need another bass voice in the ensemble...most of the guys in there sound like tenors.)  It's a fun show...I've worked on a production of it before, doing makeup, so it's familiar territory, and I actually know a few people in the cast (and the director, and producer, and music director), so I'm hoping it ends up being as much fun or more fun than the production I did before.

ok?  so this  whole 'nos ebleedign thing?'  do you know  why?

 some folks get it from  dry air... some folks from allergies if the  nose gets raw?...sometimes   blood pressure  has a lot to do with it? My Mom ha dthat  from her blood pressure.

 on the good side of all this, its   neat  you have  all this   fun  stuff on your plate.

I've got a chronic sinus condition...and borderline high blood pressure (it's on the high end of normal...just high enough that the doctor told me I should keep an eye on it, but not high enough to worry about treating it.)  But I'm sure standing there, bent over at the waist, for a couple of hours painting didn't do anything to help prevent it.  I've been using a saline nasal spray for the past couple of weeks, off and on, to try and get rid of whatever makes my sinuses twinge every time I take a deep breath...I'm guessing whatever's causing that is the primary culprit.

could be  exposure to a lot of paint stuff and  cleaning stuff?  When I worked in  a factory, there were two paint  shops , one for small stuff one  for the bigger stuff.. I bid on the  one shop for when the guy ws on vacation, to get the   extra  50 cents and  hour for a week..

 mad the  differant stuff  we had  for differant paint, we had to where  masks   , just to mix it, let alone when we sprayed.

Could be.  I've been doing a lot of spray-painting over the past few days...they decided to paint the bleachers at our show black this year, but the painters just sprayed them with acrylic paint and it's been peeling up here and there on a regular basis, so I've been touching them up with black enamel spray paint (I'm pretty sure I've lost a few thousand brain cells as a result), and I base-coated the plastic with spray primer...even though I was outdoors, I'm sure I got another heavy dose of paint fumes (had dead gnats all over the plastic, too...it was barely warm enough for them to be airborne, the paint fumes knocked 'em down pretty quickly.)

Aside from the base coat, however, I was just using simple craft acrylics...tole painting stuff, basically.  No real fumes to speak of.

Sorry to run away with the action on everyone...I'm STILL at the movie theater, it's almost 2 AM, and the second movie I've loaded into the system is about 2/3 copied to the other servers.  I should probably have been writing something more constructive, like working on one of the short film scripts I've got, or one of the novels I've had in some stage of creation for twenty-five years or so, now...

But I'm glad this was here to keep me distracted!  *laugh*

yep, that's good , I was havign trouble  sleeping  so I was posting  until I burned out for the night

   Post is up.  Please let me get away with what I did to the snake hounds.  You made a good enemy creature worthy of brutal extermination.  I hope to keep the satisfaction

post is up for your  area.

I'll wait for a bit to see HArry's post?

 while i'm at it... these stairwells  are   fuctional for support as well as   use.

   the open landings  are  half-moons  shape, with the door s to  that floor   opposite  the   stasirs  continuing  down.

 they are  Walled, so when you see a person  go around  and down,  they are in , an enclosed    stairway... until it  gets to the  next landing.

 no jumping over  railing here!

No worries I figured as much

Going to wait to have Lizzy shoot afyer Harry posts, but i assume she is going to fire on the tube hounds.
Since Lizzy opened the door Harry would act first.
 Never thought Lizzy would be doing something like this, she just wished she was more prepared.

It's also why Melia decided to pair you with someone. You're relatively inexperienced at this work, and Harry is lightly injured. Together yall are still formidable. Melia is also experienced like Harry, but uninjured which made for her being best to chase the baddies.
