Update

 So things are ok.  Been working a little more on the xbox case and I do say its coming along nicely.  I just finished cutting plexi pieces this morning so painting those will be the next step.  I really like the red color I found at lowes for this, its very red.  I also couldnt get it to drip like I wanted so I just burned it in several places.  I painted it with a flat black and I have to remind myself that it isnt charred and brittle.  It looks it.   

\r

It was brought up on the last post that I might think about selling these.  I like the idea but I dont think people would pay what I think I should get.  I would like to get more feedback and I've come up with some ideas for cases that I wouldnt mind selling off after I made one just to test the waters.  I feel most people dont appreciate art anymore.  People would rather buy mass produced crap from target than an orginal from a gallery.  Anyway on to the pics.

I've also just finished up my new computer.  I really wanted to be able to work at home instead of stay up at school till 3 or 4 in the morning so I FINALLY did it.   It should be pretty kick ass once I get the OS installed.  I had no idea that fucking windows was so expensive so I'm trying a cheaper route.  :)

Heh, same here. In order to remember how old I am I do the math. 2006-1978=28 :)\r \r You know why you forget your age, there is nothing to look forward to. You looked forward to being 16 so you could drive. You looked forward to 18 to legally become an adult. You looked forward to 21 to drink in public. You might have looked forward to 25 when insurance rates drop :)\r \r

I'm with you in the online area - try learning computers on a computer with no computer knowledge alone. Yea, it's like that. Also - I look forward to this time of the year becasue I have my B-day 11/14 and it's usually the perfect time to get new games.

webmonkee·
Oh no, I disagree about nothing to look forward to. At 30, you start to look good to the 20-something's looking for \"an older man.\" At 35 you can be President. At somewhere between 36 and 42 you can't be drafted anymore. At 40, you get to join the over 40 tourneys here on the site. Somewhere in your 50's or 60's you get to retire. Somewhere in your 70's you get to say or do whatever you want and everyone around you tolerates it and assumes you're just a litle senile.\r \r Now, are any of those better than 16 or 21? Hell no. But, at least they're SOMETHING! :)

Hey mac - send me over a FR. I'm looking for someone to do Act IV and V in GoW so I can finally knock off my last Dom achievement.\r \r B.

Mac, what size is your monitor?
M
mac79·
@ BalekFekete: sure thing.\r \r @ aachmed: My screen is just 15 or 17' viewable but the resolution is obviously better than the 19' standard definition I used to use. It was a cheaper choice since I'm not ready to splurge on a HDTV set.

way da frickin GO! I never smoked, but I know people who kicked the habit and it's HARD! You should save up all your $ that you would have spent on smokes and in a defined set of time go for an amazing dinner. You should be tasting things so much better, so maybe that would be a huge treat!

I went from a carton a week to cold turkey. Good luck, even though it's hard, it's worth it.
S
SexKitten·
Yem~Actually Dianne Carter is really nice, she is the liason for the company I am contracted to....Mike my supervisor at the company has been great, but I also know that because I am a contractor they can let me go for less reasons. He likes me though, thinks I have more of a work ethic than most of his full time employees..but I am a douche and need the job so I worry......
S
SexKitten·
English~ I was smoking almost a pack and a half a day..and it is really hard...my husband can pick up the habit and drop it like it's nothing, and expect me to do the same thing..we have had so many fights over it's crazy..but he has been supportive this time, but in retrospect..I also haven't lapsed..if I did I would surely hear it....
S
SexKitten·
Thanks J-Cat....that sounds like a really good idea...not tasting much these days still sick..everything tastes different when your sick...
O
OldManRiver48·
Glad to hear the update, please hang in there on the smoking and your health. One of my bookmarks: fecknmental overcame his habit, he shared many of his struggles with us here. i think you doing the same will help you as well. As always, good luck! :-)

I read that it starts getting marginally better after the first 3 days. Hang tight Kitten, you're doin' great!
C
CapnHun·
Good. I hope it gets better and those exercises really work.
C
Captiosus·
I second what Capn says. And just want to add that I agree with your doc, be really careful with those Oxycontins. Time Release opiates can be scary stuff.

Hey River, sorry to hear things aren't so great on your end. You've always been a great friend to me when things weren't so good on this end. My prays are with you and your family. I know things will work out, just because good things happen to good people and your one of the best. Later Brother.

it should be covered under you 360 warranty...but the games saves will need to be transfered (like you have done). If you have anything you dowloaded from xbl, you will be able to re-download it for free, you will just need to take the time to do it. Your profiles will also be able to be retrived on a new hd as well.\r \r Sorry man...do not know of any out side company that can retrieve data on a 360 hd.\r \r Good luck.

I had a good time too. I think I drank too much as I was hung over all day. Paddys pub is still the best. \r \r The east side is not what I recall. Sad it is.

DUDE1 that looks horrible. Worst (non fatal) motorcycle accident I ever heard of is when one of my old coworkers hit a deer on his bike. Brok his leg(s?) so bad he couldn't ever ski again.\r \r Take it easy, guy!

She wants me to get rid of the bike. I am not going to do that. I love riding that bike. as soon as I get the tranny fixed I am on her agian.

Smithcraft·
One of my coworkers lives over on the peninsula and he got knocked down by some jerk that was fleeing from the police in a stolen truck(pick up - not a semi) with a trailer hooked up. He was out for quite some time, and he had to come in one day, and he had that halo loop/rods/pins deal on one of his legs. He still rides, and has about four or five Harleys. I think they love him at the Harley shops!\r \r Hope everything goes well for your recovery!\r \r SC

You got owned bitch. Seriously though, that bike is your horse, if you don't get back up on it, it will mean the terrorists have won. Explain it to your mom like that, she'll understand.
A

hope you heal fast and stay off the bike for a bit.

meemoos·
This is your mom!! be careful please :)
B
BourneJ·
That sucks but I am glad you are ok. It could have been far worse so it is good that you could walk away. Granted you look pretty beat up but you survived so that is a HUGE plus. When my brother bought his bike my mom freaked but then I got mine and she freaked much more. It makes her nervous to ride behind us. I think it is an inherent trait in mother's to worry. That is why we love them though. Anyway, glad you are ok.

jasontroyhimself·
Amen.\r Thank goodness your're doing well. I have particular feelings about bikes due to a couple close friends being taken in the past year... You're in my thoughts & here's to hoping drivers become more aware of riders.\r \r Heal up well bud. -Jay

I don't know that I'd recognize you without a smoke in your hands. :) Congrats on getting this far......it's a hard thing to quit...
P
ProvingUnique·
big ups! now you should be getting more use to kicking those cravings asses.\r \r I only smoked for 5 years before I decided to put it down. I tried sunflower seeds, gum, the patch,.. the only thing that made me really want to quit for good was my kids. When I became a father and one of my sons had severe allergies to cigarette smoke that was the nail in the coffin for the habit.\r \r Congratulations.

LadiesLuvMe·
Good luck Stri. That can be tough and with a weird schedule, even tougher. If you can, don't eat any starches with dinner and try not to eat anything after 7 or 8 at the latest. Those two simple things will make a big difference.

Have you tried meth? It seems to make things fly around here and doesn't weigh much. Of course, a meth powered heli would probably steal your tv but get caught as it starts to fall to pieces.

Lol, yeah, but I'm not the type of guy who can exactly get meth...I kinda look like a NARC.
