Have we really gotten to that point now, Dave, where we are fascinated by trading physical ailment stories? How the f old are we?<br /><br />Here's mine: I have, over the past few years, taken to categorizing my waking hours into two columns: Good Hip Days and Bad Hip Days. <br /><br />A Good Hip Day means I can walk around the neighborhood unimpeded, with my cane.<br /><br />A Bad Hip Day means staying at home and bitching at the cat for getting out cause I gotta walk all the way down the stairs to the basement of my apartment building and pick him up and carry him back up to my apartment and I have to use both hands because he is so freaking fat so I can't use my cane so my hip hurts bad the whole time.<br /><br />There ya go.<br /><br />Your move.Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-62404615658240478272015-01-17T09:05:27.167-06:002015-01-17T09:05:27.167-06:00So, did anyone else, just for a second (before doi...So, did anyone else, just for a second (before doing the mental math) think that "taking the Albatross with me" was a reference to Deni?Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-4230437798902153392015-01-17T09:00:47.518-06:002015-01-17T09:00:47.518-06:00"Well, *that's* going to raise questions ..."Well, *that's* going to raise questions someday."<br /><br />Egomaniacal?

I have had them on occasion, and I'm not a guy who is leaving behind an archive. Well, sort of, if you count the Sim/Seiler corresondence bin, but not really.<br /><br />But, in all honesty, if you ask people to be honest, I think most of us have had at least one such moment.

He won't see a doctor for injuries? He has to walk through back alleys to avoid glimpsing pretty girls, lest he lose all control? He won't patronize a comics shop that hasn't signed his petition?

Or, Dave, maybe an hour with a trainer at your local gym will give you some good tips to put into practice besides babying it and hoping for the best.Michael Grabowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-49644481783042878232015-01-16T09:44:59.961-06:002015-01-16T09:44:59.961-06:00RE: Item #3

I've printed them (tested them here at the PrintCave with my scanner, and delivered them to Packaging Too, who are going to "sticker, pack and ship". (I don't have that schedule, but they were happy to get the stickers).<br /><br />FunkMaster JohnGraphic Edge Print Solutionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400071074869934522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-51246400397501834222015-01-16T08:48:20.100-06:002015-01-16T08:48:20.100-06:00In the question answering way - I've always wo...In the question answering way - I've always wondered why in photorealism, when transferring the traced images, why don't you use carbon paper to transfer it to the board?<br /><br />Al that having to rub over it to get the lines to transfer - wouldn't it be much easier and less time consuming?iestynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451525711033030181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-59205089275605506782015-01-16T08:28:01.538-06:002015-01-16T08:28:01.538-06:00Thanks for answering the notebook question and I&#...Thanks for answering the notebook question and I'm glad to have validated your past sense of egomania and disproportion. <br /><br />- Reginald P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
