h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This thread is looking awfully twisted.
Chi infusions are sort of the daoist equivalent of "laying on of hands", so nothing anal at all ( someday I'll explain why that never entered my mind)

Threads are meant to be twisted. It's their nature.

I need you now, Beanfoto. I've got some sorta nasty flu keeping me mostly stuck in bed. Could you adjust my immune system, please?

*slightly muffled voice from handkerchief firmly clamped over mouth and nose*

Does that mean no more piccies?

Patience is a virtue, I guess...

I'll make 'em when I'm feeling a bit better, Lucinda. Got distracted with other things while on vacation, but it'll happen. And yes, when dealing with me, patience is a very necessary virtue.

Thank you, darlin'.
I abhor ALL phones, not just mobile ones. I stay online almost all the time so I don't have to deal with phone calls pestering me. My friends know how to email and IM. It makes my mom crazy when she has to have Dad email me to call them because she can't get through. I must be one of the last people in the world who doesn't feel that people have the right to invade my time just because they have my phone number.

I had a double glazing salesman on the phone yesterday, had to tell him I live in a council flat ( public housing).
I'm sure a panic alarm down the phone would deal with nuisance callers, ( not as tho' I'm advocating that at all).

My mother has the sense not to call me ( talking to yourself can only last so long).

It's just that I get outraged that these people seem to feel they have the right to INVADE me. I suspect I'm well on my way towards being a truly eccentric old lady.

My mom caught me tonight while I was offline.... she's thinking about having a facelift (and actually, I'm in agreement, as she has kept herself in wonderful shape and her poor face just wrinkled up all of a sudden... they have plenty of money for it, and it saddens me that she looks in the mirror with regret now). I worked some magic on a recent photo of her with photoshop, giving realistic results based on what I've seen on my customers here after surgery and emailed it to her with the before/after. My dad's gonna have a fit when he opens that email...

My daughter wants her bosom ( where do we find these euphemisms) reduced.
Not sure how I feel about plastic surgery, but then men do tend to look better as they get older ( apart from the beer gut and lack of hair, except up their nose and in their ears).
Some people your side of the pond do seem to go overboard with it tho'.
I think I'll stick with making the best of what I've got ( now where's that ***is enlarger?).

This library server needs pelvic floor exercises!

Have you seen A727003 ?

Magnolia Thunderpussy ought to submit her piccy...

Thanks, Lucinda
I'll do that, see what happens. Have finally gotten back into photoshopping mode again and learned some new secrets, so I'll finish the other piccies I'd promised.


Have you been staying out of trouble lately?

BJust a brief Jesus I'm stuck in teaching practice at the moment, but will be more vocal soon sort of message.

How's the teaching coming along?

I'm weaning myself from the puter for a while... after a burst of intense photoshopping and some cool breakthroughs I'm having problems with my right wrist and arm. Gotta givwe them a break or invest in a whole new work area that's actually designed for puter stuff. I built my mongo desk, but the heights and whatnot aren't suited for hours and hours on end of mousing, and I don't want to end up with permanent problems.

You keep your mongoes in desks? How cruel. At least give them the freedom of your kitchen appliances, ( but keep them out of the pepper grinder).
Watch out for the old R.S.I.
Pointers:-
Play the keyboard like you'd play a keyboard, with wrists staight out in the air and parallel to the work surface.

Never rest your rests on a wristpad, that bent position is very bad for them ( hint on this, if Microsoft have built in rests in their keyboards, it must be the work of the devil...).

I've now passed my teaching practice at the second attempt ( when will I get my confidence back?).Now just got to finish the teep analysis and them do a sort of idiots guide to where I mention each aspect, then I can look for jobs and wonder how I'm going to store my furniture.

Here's a virtual icepack for your poorly bits, ( kisses better available if you fully understand the cultural significance of same...).
