shatteredsmooth Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 @Snakenaps and @TheDwarfyOne You are both incredibly talented! I don't draw, but my plants are getting big and I have a few cucumbers almost ready to pick! Usually, its mid or late July before I get any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDwarfyOne Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 @shatteredsmooth Lovely garden/house! Looks like a corner of Eden. @Snakenaps Quote I'm too fiddly for mechanical pencils or pens. I always end of breaking them. They seem to almost gouge at the paper for me. I thought they'd be good to use every now and then for finer lines, but nope. Not a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to get to it by Wednesday morning/Thursday evening. I just shared the Google doc. :-) It wasn't drastically different from the original, but I reworked a lot of the dialogue and added a few things, including a world building detail to set up for something in Ch. 8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatteredsmooth Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 @Snakenaps I saw a water snake in the lake this morning and it made me think of you and your pet snake. I tried to take a picture, but it swam away to quickly when I got close enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So frustrating with the pop-ups! It's the price of 'freedom'. They used to just deliver the cookies without asking, now, they have to ask. Is the browsing experience better? Meh. Ironically, because your system probably is set to delete all cookies on closing your browser, it means the site has to ask you if you want cookies every time you go to it.

Well, I was making a joke about computer cookies. But I do have several cookie recipes. I'll look through my cookbook and type up my favourite in a bit. It's a shortbread chocolate chip cookie thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So frustrating with the pop-ups! Public service announcement for all of RE - run ad block extensions if you don't want to deal with pop-ups. I run a few of them and consequently, I don't get pop-ups. I don't even get ads on YouTube, which is how I prefer watching them. My preferred extension is AdBlock Plus, which is suitable for basically every browser, though there are plenty of others like if you want to look around. And if you feel guilty about the fifty cents per year that you're no longer funding to the content creator through dodging said advertisements, just toss 'em the money using Patreon or GoFundMe or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggies doesn't need my money. Also...why do I get Huggies commercials? I don't look up babies. I don't babysit. I am scared of babies because they look so fragile. They puke and poop everywhere and cry incessantly. Babies are like puppies, they are cute if owned by others. Is it because I'm woman and am young enough to pop out squealing prunes from between my legs? Cause it certainly isn't based off of my search history. Like, jeez, with the amount of time I look up horse stuff and model horses, come on, at least give me State Line Tack or Dover Saddlery ads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes get baby commercials when I'm starting a new book because I spend so much time on name website, but I've never really been a target for them, even when I was in my twenties. Lately, the adds, especially of FB, seem to be mostly either dog products or pride things, which is a little too accurate. There were a couple times the dog adds almost suckered me into getting some dog bed or leash. I have some addblock that keeps me from getting popups at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not opinionated to state your firmly held views, IMO I could not agree more. My baby (now 26!), yes, all the love in the world. Babies as a general concept...meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakenaps Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 In my neverending string of mishaps... My AC just gave up the ghost. Thankfully, it'll only be around 95°F/35°C for the next couple of days, instead of 110°F/43°C like it was earlier this week. Hopefully that will get fixed sooner than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get it fixed quick! I don't think I've ever experienced 110°F! Maybe it's gotten up to 100°F a few times, but mostly, the hottest it gets in my area is the low nineties a few times a month. Mostly, summer is high seventies to mid eighties with nights in the sixties. We have window unit ACs which we haven't had to turn on in a few days. Granted, go twenty miles southwest and the temps are few degrees higher, and another twenty or so miles northeast into the Maine coast and it's cooler. Since my mom moved to Maine she has not stopped complaining about the nights being cold. Edited June 27, 2020 by shatteredsmooth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, peak of summer gets above 120° F/49°C, and I've definitely ridden horses in that. What makes it bearable is the fact that we have almost no humidity. If the humidity gets above 30% I sweat like a mule, no matter the temperature outside. I freeze when it gets below 60°F/15.5°C and have to wear gloves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking it didn't feel too humid, so I checked the weather station and it's 61%, though temp is 76 F, which is comfortable. I'm pretty sure I hiked a mountain once in ninety-something humidity. We went through a low cloud that day too. Above the cloud, it was nice and breezy on the summit. I was drenched, though, between sweat and the moisture. Right now, 60°F/15.5°C would get me in a sweatshirt, but when we get random 60 degree days in the middle of winter, I break out the shorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come visit the south! It's 9 pm now, still 84°F/28°C and 58% humidity. It was much hotter/humid-er early in the day. We routinely get 90+°F and 80-90% humidity... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
