My grandmother was released today. Basically just an 'event' and not a full heart attack.

Such such such relief.

@GangOfDolls <can't breathe> Oh dear god in heaven... that is amazing.

It's so good. The best day.

I have a new piece of Maomorabilia. I felt compelled to share.
"Little Red Book" Lighter (I)

"Little Red Book" Lighter (II)

I'm not sure why or how (I have theories), but my hair has gone wavy. I've spent my life so far with stubbornly thick, straight, fine hair. That refused to do 'curl' type things.

I began, today, trying things I've read to 'encourage' curls. One, I thought 'Oh, this probably won't work.' ahahahahaha it worked well beyond what I expected. I had to wear a headband because my hair was much more floofy than I'd intended.

But! It's encouragement enough to keep going. Esp. since the stuff to take care of wavy/curly hair is so much more effort than I'm used to.

@WTFE Holy shit, so I collect unusual lighters, where did you find this?! I want it!

WTFE · Oct 12, 2016, 7:31 AM

@Cadi: Sadly I may have to disappoint you. I got it off of Taobao and I'm not sure if you can get this outside of China easily. The link for me is https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40071847610. Maybe plugging it into a Taobao broker like Panlishop?

Stick around, incidentally. I'm getting a few more Mao lighters.

@Tinuviel Got the job. Making over 6$ an hour than I am currently being paid.

Cool fact. First day of my new job is Halloween

Misadventure · Oct 12, 2016, 4:17 PM

At first I read that as making $6/hour, and I was like "wow that's more than QA ever gets!"

(I kid!)

Grats!

I provide T2 support for an online TCG. Sometimes, in the course of support, we need people to send us screenshots.

For the first time, I have spotted a MU*er.

Yes, you there, I see Potato, with a window to MCM open, behind the game screen.

I've finally managed to set up a proper corner in my home to paint where I can also have my laptop present and used. So now I can watch shows, MU* whatever while painting.

My productivity levels are way higher suddently, on both fronts.

I am envious of that set up. Would love something like that. Do you scene while you paint? Is that distracting considering you may have to switch modes so often?

God bless Walgreens.

Ganymede · Oct 20, 2016, 4:51 AM

That I can come here and not worry about political debates.

Arkandel · Oct 20, 2016, 1:09 PM

@Ganymede It's not the debates that bug me. It's the circlejerks that follow between people who share the same views.

... Having said that, some of the comedy takes on them have been pretty funny.
