I am SO glad you're back!

[Miss B]

You Lorraine? Unchatty?? I can't imagine ANYONE ever accusing you of being unchatty!

 

[Lorraine]

no, Miss B, more like "do you EVER stop talking?!"

 

[Miss B]

Nah, you're not that bad. I worked with a woman years ago who was like that, one day my boss was at my desk giving me a list of documents he needed me to get together for him to send to a client, and she just interrupted him to talk about her autistic nephew. He politely edged his way out of the room and around the corner to his office, and then buzzed me on the intercom to ask "Doesn't she EVER shut the "f" up???" I told him he was lucky, I have to put up with it 8 hours a day. She could give anyone a migraine.

You, on the other hand, are a delight to chat with.

Well shucks, Miss B, I've come over all blushing

But oh dear, that poor woman, she will spend her whole life with people crossing the road to avoid her and never know why.

I just had a thought (I know, scary, huh!). I talk less in real life now that I'm involved here in the forums. Even though my 'talking' and 'chatting' is done via typing, it is still communication and makes me less isolated. Therefore my times ashore are not the only times I am in contact with people and I'm not getting all my communicating done in a big rush. Make sense?

 

[Miss B]

Yes ma'am, and you're correct, she didn't have a clue. Ever since NY instituted a no smoking in public places law years ago, she would either have to go outside, or to a room the firm designed for that particular purpose. Everyone used to get up and leave when she walked in, because they didn't want to hear the same story, over, and over, and over again, ad infinitum.

I do. It's nice to not be ignored. I used to think I was a thread killer because every time I posted in a thread, it was the last post for days. And then people would post other things in there and my post would go completely ignored. It's why I stopped hanging out in several forums.

This is why I stopped posting on RDNA years ago. And why I stopped posting on Daz forums a long time ago. And why I never posted much in the Rendo forums, either. The thread either died after my post (on a regular basis), or they would continue talking around me but never address or even acknowledge that I might have posted a question. And if it was a thread I had started, more often than not, it never got a response. (The exception to this last one would be the RDNA forums; it would sometimes take a week or more, but eventually a new thread I started on RDNA would eventually get at least one response to whatever the question was that I had.)

Being utterly ignored as if you do not exist - I have had that enough in offline life. I have zero patience for it online. If that kind of thing happens on a consistent basis for me in a place, I stop bothering to post at all. In the case of the Daz and RDNA forums, this also resulted in my not bothering to even announce my freebies there any longer. I got tired of it.

I'm much happier over here.

 

[Rokket]

Yeah, me too. Felt like home as soon as I posted my first message. I still lurk at Rendo, but RDNA? Nope. And I never went on a DAZ site that I am aware of.

In other news, I am rendering another image now that I am satisfied with the suit. I had to see it on her, so that will be up in a couple hours. Maybe less...

 

[quietrob]

I keep trying to post an image but the Hivewire robocop says it's too large. I know TIFF's aren't allowed but this is a jpg. What are the limits on file/image size?

I need coffee. A crowd scene takes soooo long to put together!

 

[Lorraine]

Rob, the limits are 1600 x 1600 and 1mb. I tend to make mine no larger than 1200 x 1200 and 500kb. Coffee is always good

We need a smiley that says that, we say it so often

I feel your pain. I am rendering an image of what I hope is the final version of my Supergirl suit. It's been rendering for over an hour and it's about 1/3 of the way done...

Yes, but speaking the truth isn't a bad thing. Unless your wife/girlfriend asks if her dress makes her butt look too big.

My answer has always been the same: turn toward the living room and ask her if she's seen the remote.

 

[Lorraine]

My son used to say to me when I asked if something I was wearing looked OK "I have NO opinion". I did tell him that would get him no brownie points at all when it was a girlfriend asking

 

[Rokket]

I used to tell her "you are the most beautiful woman in the world and you are perfect to me. Everything you wear looks good on you." That usually worked. Then I got the feeling that she just wanted to hear me say that because she started asking me every time she put something on. So I started to walk away from it. I would simply say "no man should have to answer that question! It's a trap!"

LOL Smart man.... I try not to do that to my poor husband... I slip up sometimes, but I really do try not to do that to him!

LOL Lorraine... maybe it might not in some cases, but I'll bet when the alternative is getting the wrong answer on the test, he'll consider it the safer response!!

So I started to walk away from it. I would simply say "no man should have to answer that question! It's a trap!"

Exactly why I try not to do that to my Bear. Exactly, right there. LOL

Good morning.
Interesting survival tactics for dealing with a leading question. LOL

Done completely in GIMP. This is not a Poser or DS render.

 

[Rokket]

Aaagghhh! I already posted something like this in my gallery....

 

[Lorraine]

You want me to delete it? I think it's pretty cool.
