My response to this shop was deleted in the thread, so I will reiterate here.

SMH!

I am NOT "somewhat mentally handicapped". I'm "differently offensive".

Excuse me, I was led to believe that SMH means 'shake my head'.

My shops don't cause Michael J. Fox Disease, either.

Hi. It's been 400 posts since I last visited. Thanks to Thrakkorzog for telling me about Toot's passing. Sorry I didn't post sooner; not been, well you know.

Toots - you taught me a lot, about delivering messages and the importance of breathing. Rest in peace Sir. And if you can't - I imagine you will be as feisty on the other side as here - come visit. I set a place at the table for you. I can always use a good supervisor, especially now.

hi everyone

Dumski: I remove it to save the house call

I have finally reached a point where I'll pay people to do stuff like that, although I did have to fix a plumbing problem a few days ago and it was a PIA, but I didn't want to wait, and in the end it was a fairly simple repair. I have a friend that has been trying to fix his garage door opener for a week. His son is coming into town this weekend so maybe he can do it.
Maybe I'll photoshop him doing it(it's a ps thread and I need a reference)

/end old guy repair rant

Dumski		2013-02-08 09:39:39 AM

Hello there i-dig! You'll know what I mean when I say, "my apologies to you sir". Glad Thrakk remembered to let you know.
There's a policy being worked on that everyone has to report in at least once a month. For safety reasons and all that. :)

For those out there like myself that find Adobe Photoshop infuriating, and choose to save money and have a slightly less capable program i.e. GIMP, there is a new book out detailing the usage of this great proggie. Here is a review with links:

So, if any of you saw Zero Dark Thirty, here is Zero Dark Valentine. Not a bad re-creation of the interrogation scene.
What every guy wants to know from women for Valentines day. I think men can relate to this.

I didn't, but thats okay. You live in New York, who needs a partner there? (not that I know or not)

Valentines day is a commercial entity. After the first years of marriage, we never give it any notice again.
Now approaching our 28yr of marriage, so the lack of it didn't make an impact on our life much.

Does anyone remember having to make valentines cards for each other in (elementary)grade school? I farkin hated that with a passion. As you might imagine, I was one of the kids who didn't get many. What a disastrous idea back in those days. Self esteem neutering.

I really don't like to look at other submissions before doing my own, but we kind of have to with this one....

The Voice of Doom		2013-02-08 04:57:58 PM

CSB alert:
Farking around with images on Fark finally payed out:

The current version of Germany's Gestapo has an amazing list of things of what a "biometric" photo for government ID is supposed to look like and not to look like, down to millimeter specs of the areas where the eyes and nose are allowed to be in the picture.
So I payed to have some fitting pictures taken and the guy taking them changed the color temperature so that the picture looked better, but was rather blueish.
Since the document will have a black&white photo, the color shouldn't have mattered at all.
But the bureaucrat drone took a look at their giant wall poster full of do/don't examples for (color) passport photos and sent me away again after pointing out the appropriate "don't" among the examples for (in)acceptable colors.

So I went home rather pissed, scanned the rejected picture, downloaded a copy of the Gestapo's example poster, fired up Gimp and went to town, by, among tons of other stuff, clone-stamping an _entire_ new forehead and half of the nose because those would probably both have violated the "no overexposed areas" rules after I had adjusted most of the colors,

But somehow, when I spent 30 cents to have some machine print my artwork on photo paper, I ended up having red hair. Think "The Joker", just with a dark, brownish red instead of green.
That was probably due to the machine's auto-correction and because I forgot to desaturate the comparatively dark areas among the hair when my basement-dwelling self selected a skin color closer to the example pictures than my pale reality to avoid having the picture rejected for an unnatural skin tone or overexposed areas or a lack of contrast or sharpness.

Naturally, my unaturally red-haired, clone-stamped-to-death (or rather: clone-stamped-to-life) version of the rejected image was accepted as "looking great".
*Insert eyeroll of eyes which might or might not have had the same color than the onein the picture they just accepted*
Not that the hair color should have mattered (people change theirs all the time), but I was wondering if they're so used to checking pictures for technical compliance that they forget to check whether the person in the picture is actually the one sitting in front of them.

Mrs. Phillips also had each of us make a mailbox from heavy construction paper and taped it to the front of your desk so other kids could 'deliver' you a valentine. All could see who was popular or not. Toughened you up for the real World. Sadly, Denise K. did not send me a card. In high school she was the biggest slut in school

You nailed it. That was so goddam annoying. A couple from the "nice" girls, and some from the guys (WTF was that about?) and it amounts to about 6. Yes, it toughened me up, but the psychological damage lasts a long time. : 0

We had pockets made with construction paper, hung on the wall under the blackboard. We were supposed to give everyone a Valentine, so you'd give the people you didn't like the crappiest ones out of the big book of punch out Valentines your mother bought for you.

My oldest was sent home with what seemed like a directive for her to bring a valentine for every kid in the class. Growing up, we had to as well. They used to sell valentines in packs with each one being a little smaller than a baseball card. We wrote a name on each one and then stuffed them into the empty kleenex boxes we had spent the prior day decorating. It seems like the reds are still running things in this school system with their dictatorial valentine redistribution utopia they hope to perfect one day.

That's because of the clear bottles. Buy it in 5l kegs, it's much better.
