    Yeah, unfortunately, my older sister @Trene4000 was my passenger and she was messed up when I had to drive the truck down the sidewalk to avoid running headlong into cross traffic.  Fortunately, the light was red for them and green for us, but it was at a mandatory right turn, thus the need to use the sidewalk to slow the vehicle down.  We ended up coming to a stop right in the bus stop with both passenger tires on the curb, the driver side tires on the street and the truck straddling the bike lane.

     

    The rep at AAA Roadside Assistance made my tow a priority classifying it as a medical emergency with pedestrian obstruction given that we were on the sidewalk and Trene was on her last canister of oxygen.  😅

     

    Our baby sister (the one you met last June) arrived 30 minutes later to drive her home before she ran out of oxygen and the tow truck arrived 12 minutes after that.

     

    So yes, we are fine and everything worked out.

    Oh my gosh! I am so sorry that you guys had to go through this. That’s just awful…

    Never made it to Royal Oak.  Ended up getting towed to the service center after my brake stoppability  dissolved in traffic.  Fortunately, it was after the morning rush hour.  Back in from Enterprise Rental and now it's grass cutting time. 

    That is terrifying. I’m glad that you’re OK!

  3. I’m not even joking when I tell you this:
     

    I was poor, growing up. I wanted to be know everything. I wanted to know shit about other shit that I didn’t know anything about. One year, my parents bought the World Book Encylopedias. I went through each and every book from front to back, several times. I miss that encyclopedia set. It was literally my most favorite thing. It inspired me to write a book report in the second grade on tornadoes. I’ve been fascinated with tornadoes for the longest time. All natural disasters, really. But World Book was just the shit, for me. 

  4. I do a lot of resin work. Whenever I have excess, I make smaller things out of it. I have a whole bunch of Ouija planchettes that I think I’m gonna turn into earrings. Maybe a necklace, as well.

     

    I started making a really cool crystal point necklace. I’m really proud of it, even though it’s not really done. It is a blue Angel Aura Quartz point that’s probably about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long.

  5. I’m not much of a gardener. As a matter, fact, I want somebody to come over and take all of the tiger lilies out of the back corner of my yard and plant them at their house because a shed will be going back there.
     

    and I’d love to find somebody that does cement. After looking up what it’s going to take to pour a 9 x 11 pad, I can’t lift those cement bags. That’s just not gonna happen.

  6. I miss the way this forum bumped, all day and all night back in the mid 2000s. That was the most fun I had ever had on the internet. I was not the kind of person that would be down for joining a forum, but I thought everybody here was cool and I had been lurking for several weeks. I just finally decided to make the jump. But the old days were an absolute blast and it’s kind of because of DGN that I live in Michigan, now. 
     

    If it wasn’t for DGN, I would never have met my husband and moved here. He calls me a sucker. 😂 I just think that I’m really smart and know a good guy when I meet one. I just never thought I’d find that here, and honestly, I wasn’t looking. I’m still friends with many of you. We might not hang out all the time, because it takes a lot for me to want to go “people.” But the time that I do get with you, out in public, just melts my tar black soul.

  7. OK, so it has been forever since I have posted in this thread. However, I have found something that I’m really rather impressed with and the price is pretty reasonable. NYX Cosmetics has a long wearing lip product called “Shine Loud.” The color is a long wearing color that you have to let dry down. You can’t have anything on your lips when you apply it. That is absolutely the best way to go about it. Now normally, I put a thin layer of some sort of bomb on my lips. That didn’t go well. So I wiped it all off and started with fresh, dry lips. You apply it, let it dry for a couple of minutes, and then put the gloss on top. Not only does it stay, it almost survived Fettuccini Alfredo. Not even kidding. My daughter and I went to Ulta today because she needed a few things and I finally decided that I was just gonna pull the trigger on purchasing this lip product. 
     

    Totally not disappointed. I bought a wine brown color (I would love nothing more than to give you the name of it, except they put black ink on a dark brown wrapper, and that makes it real hard for those of us that are visually challenged to read). I also bought another brown color (Total Baller) because, for some reason, I like brown tones on my lips more than anything, even though I will wear a bright red or black on occasion. I’m just super impressed by it. Right now, Ulta is selling NYX products for buy two get one free. Is the perfect time to go purchase one of these. I don’t know why they don’t have a black. But they do have a dark green and a dark blue and they are absolutely gorgeous. 


    As a former pro make up artist, I feel like I had tried everything. Long wearing lip colors have come a very, very long way. This stuff is fantastic, and I highly recommend it!

    When adding files you also have to add that file into the post.

    Which is just the dumbest crap, I mean why would anyone bother attaching it if they didn't mean to insert it?

    I realize this issue is unrelated to what you were saying, but it made me think of it.

    What? That is the dumbest shit.😂

    Thank you. I am not one to assume that I’m just going to get that position because of what I accomplished while I was there. But damn I hope that’s a deciding factor. The pay increase is going to be wild. I’m already making the most money that I’ve ever made in my life. But this would be wild and I would not be against it.

    I have to admit, I haven't figure the file size thing out yet as I seem to be the only one who doesn't seem to run into that problem as I use a computer to upload images.

     

    My question is are you uploading images or doing an "attach" of an image.  The attachments are limited to the editor that comes as part of the IP Board Suite.  We have no control over that.  However, if you Upload an image using a photo album, that is upload size is unlimited as it depends on the size of the free space available on the host server.

     

    Just for reference if needed:

    I hope this helps.

    I always use the add files button at the bottom of a post. So I don’t know. I just know that I don’t have a desktop computer so everything is done on my phone.
